I am delighted to welcome you to the first University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity annual review following the merger of Poole Hospital Charity and Bournemouth Hospital Charity on 1 April 2021. As I reflect on another challenging year, I continue to be humbled and inspired by the support we have received and the contribution the charity has made to our hospitals, patients, and staff.
I want to begin with a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of the businesses, organisations, individuals, families, and charitable trusts that have supported our hospitals.
– John Lelliott OBE Chairman of the Charitable Funds Committee (2021/22)
