2. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Pay policy for senior staff
The Trustees consider the Trustees and the Fund Co-ordinator comprise the key management personnel of the charity who are in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration or expenses in the year. The pay of the Fund Co-ordinator is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings and inflation data as at the end of each year.
Risk Management
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.
The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Investment Powers
Trust money can be invested at the Trustees’ absolute discretion. The Trustees have full unrestricted power to invest funds as they see fit.
- OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity was established to relieve sickness and to protect and preserve the health of the general public by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities and equipment at Epsom General Hospital and elsewhere in Surrey or the surrounding area which would not otherwise be provided by the Local Health Authority.
The charity seeks to achieve its objectives by organising fundraising activities. These objectives are continually reviewed by way of regular meetings of the Trustees.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
- HOW OUR OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES DELIVERED PUBLIC BENEFIT:
A REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR
The Trustees are pleased that the achievements and performance of the charity, as set out below, demonstrate continued progress in delivering public benefit. There have been no material changes in the management policies of the charity since the last report.
Incoming resources during the year totalled £65,002 (2024 - £55,653), an increase of 17% from 2024. The main income sources were donations of £47,702 (2024 - £39,483) including legacies and donated accounting and audit services, fundraising of £11,370 (2024 - £11,194) generated from activities including car boot sales, dinners and raffles, and £3,508 (2024 - £3,036) from interest on bank deposits. Gift aid of £2,422 (2024 - £1,940) was claimed in the year.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
- HOW OUR OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES DELIVERED PUBLIC BENEFIT (continued):
This has been the third full year since all Covid restrictions were lifted and as a result, fundraising has increased, but has not reached pre-Covid levels. The Trustees believe that this is due to the general economic situation in the U.K. with the rise in the cost of living and general inflationary pressures.
The historical reserves held within the Charity and a continuing relationship with Epsom and St Helier Trust has resulted in an increase in the number of donations of medical equipment to the Trust over this period.
Fundraising
The Trustees have referred to the Code of Fundraising Practice (“the Code’) effective October 2019 by the fundraising community through the work of the Institute of Fundraising and Public Fundraising Association, and the Guidance on Charities and Fundraising issued by the Charity Commission (‘CC20”) and the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 ("the Act”). The Trustees consider that following a review of the Code requirements they are compliant.
Charitable Activities
Charitable activities include the donation of equipment to Epsom General Hospital. Historically items were loaned to the hospital, but on 30 April 2021 an agreement was signed by which all equipment loaned to Epsom General Hospital as at that date and all future purchases of equipment were donated to Epsom General Hospital, so that the charity does not own any of the equipment. This equipment is intended to relieve sickness and to protect and preserve the health of the general public by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities and equipment at Epsom General Hospital which would not otherwise be provided by the Local Health Authority and thereby enable the charity to meet its objectives.
During the year the charity donated medical equipment totalling £45,787 (2024 - £20,725) to Epsom General Hospital comprising:
-
1 Seers Medical Ltd - Purchase of a physio tilt table £1,649
-
2 Zoll Medical UK Ltd - BLS Semi Automatic Defibrillators for Lay Rescuers and £44,138 First Responders

5. FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The Trustees are concerned with maintaining sufficient levels of reserves to enable the charity to carry out its charitable objectives.
The net assets held at 30 June 2025 were £131,719 (2024 - £151,589). The Trustees believe that the reserves are sufficient for the charity's current purposes and these are reviewed on a regular basis.
Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements of the charity in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; e state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and where relevant, the Charities Act 2022, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements maydiffer from legislation in other jurisdictions.
6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF TRUSTEES
The Trustees wish to formally place on record their thanks to the outgoing Chairman, Dr Andrew Gregory, recognising his 14 years’ service as a Trustee and also as Chairman of the charity.
The Trustees also wish to acknowledge the hard work of the volunteers that help to support and ensure the good work of the charity continues.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
EPSOM MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Epsom Medical Equipment Fund (“the charity”) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure), Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 June 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, and where relevant, the Charities Act 2022.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements, other than the Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
« the information given in the Trustees’ Annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
e the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or » the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or e wehave not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
EPSOM MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUND (continued)
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Our assessment of the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, is considered to be low. This conclusion was reached after the consideration of the following:
-
e due to the relatively simple business model and low volume of transactions within the charity there are comparatively few unexpected fluctuations in the reported results and balances and any such unexpected items would be specifically enquired into by us; and
-
e there are a number of individuals and Trustees that comprise "management" and therefore there is no single individual who is likely to be able to override controls to effect a fraud.
We designed our audit procedures to respond to identified audit risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) that are material to the financial statements. Some of the specific procedures performed to detect irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below.
-
e the review of control accounts and journal entries for large, unusual or unauthorised entries; e the analytical review of the statement of financial activities for variances that are either unexpected or considered not to be in accordance with our understanding of the charity during the year;
-
e obtaining and reviewing for completenessa list of entities and persons considered to be related parties (as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102) and reviewing the ledgers of the charity for previously unreported related party transactions;
-
e the review of transactions and journals for any indication of fraud or management override; and e the review of Trustees’ meeting minutes to identify unrecorded transactions.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

14. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information and basis of preparation
Epsom Medical Equipment Fund (“the charity”), registered charity number 1004977, is based and administered in the United Kingdom. The registered address is 32 Tealing Drive, Epsom, Surrey, KT19 OJS. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are set out in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and where relevant, the Charities Act 2022, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the levels of funds held and the level of income and expenditure, together with the level of reserves of the charity, and consider that it will be able to continue as a going concern.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are recognised at transaction value, except where settlement is delayed, in which case the transaction is recognised at the present value of the settlement amount.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
All equipment bought are immediately donated to the Epsom General Hospital during the year, hence they are not depreciated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Incoming resources
Allincoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, if it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated services
Donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.
Resources expended
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.
Charitable activities expenditure comprises the donation of equipment by the charity to Epsom General Hospital. Governance costs are included within charitable activities. These costs relate to the general running of the charity. Such costs can include external audit, legal advice and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised as expenditure.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
Voluntary help
The charity benefits from many voluntary hours and unclaimed out-of-pocket expenses. No amount is included in these financial statements for these voluntary hours and unclaimed expenses. Without the effort and devotion of the volunteers the charity would not be able to carry out successful fundraising events.

Status of funds
All funds are held on an unrestricted basis. The Trustees have complete discretion for their use in pursuance of the charity’s objectives.
Judgements and key sources of estimated uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees have to make judgements on how to apply the charity’s accounting policies and make estimates about the future. The Trustees believe that there are no critical judgements in arriving at the amounts recognised in the financial statements and there are no key areas of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the year.
