Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Healthcare Annual General Meeting 2025

This week we held our annual general meeting where we present this years annual report, financial report and quality account.

The meeting took place in our Meet and Eat Restaurant on 1st December at 4.30pm and hosted members of our board, SLT Team and staff and volunteers. Chaired by Dr Pat Webster, the meeting pulled out highlights from the charity’s newly published annual report, quality account and financial report, all of which is available to download below.

2024/25 was a year where our services continued to make a profound difference in the lives of patients and families. Our inpatient unit supported 373 admissions, our Wellbeing Centre saw nearly 3,000 attendances, and our teams delivered holistic, personalised care across a range of complex conditions.

The past year has not been without challenge. Like Hospices across the country, we have navigated increasing financial pressure arising from inflation, rising employment costs, and static NHS funding. Despite this backdrop, the strength of our community has shone through brighter than ever. Income generation and retail both achieved year-on-year growth, with our charity shops contributing a record £1.05 million and fundraising delivering an impressive £1.37 million. Our Pennies Make Pounds campaign gained national recognition with a Hospice UK Innovation Award, reminding us that big’ impact in people’s lives often begins with little acts of kindness.

Dr Pat Webster thanked everyone who contributed to our 2024/25 year.
