Annual Report and Accounts 2024/2025 Welcome to our Annual Report and Accounts for 2024/25 highlighting what we have been able to achieve this year, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. We are your local NHS charity and proud to be the official NHS charity of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which provides hospital and community health services to around 800,000 people and in 2024/25 was the second largest NHS organisation in the region. Donations to the Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity help take care of patients and staff at your local hospitals and healthcare centres - providing those extras that go above and beyond what the NHS can provide, and which make such a difference to happiness and healing. Our annual report enables us to reflect on the past year, showcasing what we have been able to achieve as well as reporting on our financial position. It also provides an opportunity to once again thank our local community for their on-going support. Thanks to that incredible generosity, in 2024/25 the charity was able to provide £2.290 million of grants to support NHS patients, staff and healthcare in our local community. Your support helped us improve patients lives by bringing some good into a difficult time, and your kindness helped provide our hospitals and community services with additional life-saving equipment, cutting edge technology, research and innovation that can transform the healthcare available to your friends and family, when they need it most. Within this report you can also read more about our recently refreshed strategy and ambitions for supporting local patients and staff over the coming years. Thank you.
