Annual report template 2023 - 24
It's a legal requirement for your local Healthwatch to produce an annual report by the end of June. To help you do this, we have provided a template, which is available in PowerPoint and InDesign formats on the Communications Centre (Brandstencil).
The template uses our latest brand guidelines, and also includes guidance on how to complete your report, what to change and what you need to include in your report.
Please note you will need to be logged in to see the resources on The Communications Centre. There is one account per local Healthwatch, however if you are having problems accessing your account please email hub@healthwatch.co.uk
Images
It's great if you can personalise the report with local photography. However, we are aware a lot of local Healthwatch struggle to source photography and do not have the budget to purchase a lot of stock images. Check out our Flickr albums for a range of high quality photos that are free for you to use.
Training and support
We want to help you produce the best report you can, so we are running a series of webinars to help make the process as easy and straightforward for you.
