This is my chance to thank all the wonderful people who support our charity.
As always I am overwhelmed by the generosity and energy of our supporters.
Their enthusiastic and often imaginative fundraising is an inspiration. Most
people have a story behind their fundraising and it is always touching to hear
of their positive experiences and their wish to show their thanks to the
wonderful staff here at Dudley Group. We have compiled a collage of some
of our fundraisers on page 6.
The 2015 Charity Football Match was an enormous success which raised just
over £12,000. Our Emergency Department team took on the Wolves All Stars
at Stourbridge Football Club. A full report can be found on pages 4 and 5.
Waldron’s Solicitors wrote a record number of Wills in our 2015 Will Fortnight
which raised over £4,500. Will Fortnight is an annual campaign and runs in
October. See our website for further details.
Our four appeals are now up and running. We have added to the well-
established ‘Make our Patients Smile Appeal’ and ‘Cancer: caring for the
patient and the family’. Our appeal ‘Dementia: moving forward with dignity
and respect’ will provide specialist care in a less clinical environment. And
finally we have introduced ‘Rehabilitation: supporting our patients’ journey
back to recovery’. You can find out more about our appeals on page 14.
2016 sees the celebration of 20 years of fundraising. Help me continue my
quest to put the Dudley Group NHS Charity at the forefront of people’s minds.
You can follow us on Twitter and post your fundraising ventures on our
Facebook page; keep spreading the word. Our JustGiving pages make it really
easy to encourage friends and colleagues to donate online; there is also the
opportunity of creating team pages and in memory pages.
As usual I would like to close by thanking everyone who has supported our
Charity in the past and encourage anyone wishing to raise funds in the future
to get in contact with me – I’m here to help.

Charity Annual Report 2015/16 The Dudley Group NHS Charity
September 2015 saw six months of fundraising and organising
culminating in the Annual Charity Football Match and Family Fun
Day which resulted in a fantastic £12,000 raised to support the
Children’s and Adult Emergency Departments.
Emergency Department staff got behind the venture from the onset by
nominating colleagues to join the planning committee. They also raised funds in
the main reception of Russells Hall Hospital to help promote the event. We were
joined on one occasion by Wolves All Star player Jody Craddock (pictured left)
who happily signed autographs and posed for pictures with staff and patients.
Our ED team players even dressed up in their football kit and attended a bucket
collection at Mecca Bingo, Oldbury.
The game was held at Stourbridge FC on Sunday 27 September and was
attended by over 300 visitors. There was plenty of support with many businesses
offering their services free of charge. These include Nigel Cliff Photography and
Black Country Radio. Even Wolfie turned up for a half time penalty shootout.
We were proud to be able to play against the Wolves All Stars. The All Stars
played 8 former first team players; the most for over 10 years. Players included:
Jody Craddock, Seyi George Olofinjana, Dale Rudge and Mel Eves. Our
Emergency Services Team put in a sterling performance but the All Stars finally
won the game with a score of 2-1.
Charity Football Match
Our Emergency
Department is open to
treat patients 24 hours
a day, every single day
of the year.
The proceeds of the
event will go towards
making a positive
difference for our
patients.

Charity Annual Review 2015/16
Santander Bank supported the cause by making a donation of £2,200 in
addition to tirelessly manning the fundraising marquee at the match.
The Steve Bull Foundation donated £1,400 to purchase two iPads for our
paediatric waiting area. The tablets will be attached to a counter by a plastic
movable casing. In addition to being a source of entertainment to distract our
young patients they will also be used as an educational tool where doctors can
explain injuries and ailments to children with the use of medical apps.
The Presentation Dinner Dance held in October raised further funds with a
raffle and charity auction. It was well attended and included Wolves All Stars
Mel Eaves, Dale Rudge and Neil Edwards.
Each year our Emergency Department treats approximately 100,000 patients.
Most of those patients will arrive apprehensive and daunted as to what lies
ahead. Often arriving in a hurry, patients and their families can be disoriented
and unsure. We take great pride that our staff do everything in their power to
put patients at their ease.
Money raised goes to improving the services of the department to enable us to
offer our patients the best experience possible during a really traumatic time.
Looking forward

the Charitable Funds Committee terms of reference, Trustees’ Annual Report
and Financial Statements, policies and minutes, and information about
trusteeship, including Charity Commission booklet CC3, The Essential Trustee.

improve the high quality services provided by the
Trust, providing additional comfort and benefit to its
patients and staff, by focusing fund expenditure on
areas not covered or fully supported by NHS funds.
Charity Annual Review 2015/16
The charity fundraiser continues to forge strong
relationships with members of staff of the hospital
and community donors and fundraisers. Without the
support and co-operation of the wider community
the effective contribution to the Trust would be much
diminished.
In accordance with the objectives and strategy of the
Charity, the Financial Services Manager and the
Treasury Manager regularly meet with Ward
Managers and Department Heads to encourage the
spending of their funds in accordance with the
donor’s wishes; by supporting research and
procedures within the National Health Service,
supporting capital developments and the purchase of
medical equipment, provide training and
development activities for clinical and other staff, to
ensure public benefit.
The Leukaemia Appeal Fund, a separately registered
Charity raises money specifically for the Georgina
Unit at Russells Hall Hospital.
The Trust’s Volunteer Service, managed by the
Volunteer Co-ordinator, Jane Fleetwood provides a
valuable service to patients, visitors and staff. For
more information call 01384 456111 ext 3420 or
email [email protected]
The Dudley Clinical Education Centre promotes and
advances the study of science and medicine by
supporting the professional education and
development of Trust & Community staff and
associated healthcare professionals. It supports key
patients committed to further development,
empowering their contribution to specialist teams
improving quality of care. For more information call

The charitable funds also enable consultants, medical
staff, nurses and allied professionals to attend
additional courses which will update them on the new
ideas and modern techniques in their specialties.
These activities enable the Trustee to meet its strategic
priorities of supporting the work of the Trust. The
Trustee’s review of future plans and strategic
objectives have also been infused with the need to
demonstrate public benefit and by the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission.

as ward/clinic hostess services, way finding, helpdesk

equipment, such as:
