**TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2022** **Help Us, Save Them** 2 | Hatzola Northwest Trust Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 | 3 ## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT TRUSTEES’ STATEMENT** **THE TEAM WERE BEYOND OUTSTANDING - IT WAS SHABBAT AND THEY WENT BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY TO HELP A VERY DISTRESSED YOUNG MAN IN SEVERE PAIN FROM TRAUMA- BEYOND GRATEFUL.** It is always a great pleasure to be able to reflect on the year that has just passed. Day to day we concentrate on the next thing that needs to be done. Whether that’s the next mission that we might be called to or the next budget meeting that we have to prepare for, we are all so busy —from frontline crew to the support staff at the charity —that we don’t always have the opportunity to take stock, pause and consider what we have all achieved together. That sense of togetherness brings me great pride. We can only continue to save lives thanks to the wonderful team and partnership that believes so passionately in our mission and vision. Together, our wonderful, dedicated volunteers work tirelessly so that we can be there for the North-West London community, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our volunteers and donors give their time and recently their money to help us raise a staggering £1.6M in our recent ‘Help Us, Save Them’ fundraising campaign which will be used over the coming years to continue operating at an enhanced level. The trustees and committee have provided support and counsel to help the membership achieve its ambitious strategic goals safely, during a period of substantial change. None of this has been guaranteed as we still feel the aftereffects of the pandemic. Whilst restrictions eased over the last year, the responders still saw the reality of COVID-19 on patients and NHS resources. ## **CONTENT** Trustees’ Annual Report (incorporating the Director’s Report) **3** Independent examiner’s report to the trustees **23** Statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account) **24** Statement of financial position **25** Statement of cash flows **26** Notes to the financial statements **27** Thanks to our strong financial performance over the last few years we have been able to maintain investment in our operations and fundraising.

So, I must finish by saying a big thank you to all of you that help this charity save lives every day in North-West London. It is the greatest role I will ever have and your support and dedication to the cause is what makes it such a privilege. L Blitz, Trustee 4 | Hatzola Northwest Trust ## **LOOKING BACK** Hatzola Northwest Trust was set up to provide the North-West London community with free pre-hospital emergency medical care and transportation. Since its inception, our volunteers have responded to thousands of emergencies every year, from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions. ## **Additional ambulances** The organisation took delivery of two new ambulances and one new rapid response vehicle, to facilitate the increasing demand on the organisation’s resources. ## **LOOKING AHEAD** The charity’s objects are the protection and preservation of health and the relief of sickness. In particular, by the provision of first aid relief and assistance to people who are ill or sick or otherwise in need of medical care and attention, provision of first aid training and the provision of first aid cover at public events in the North-West London area. ## **Paramedics** The organisation arranged for 7 of their current emergency responder volunteers to enroll on a 2 year paramedic course provided by ORMS to ensure that the organisation continues to deliver the highest level of clinical care and skills to the North-West London community. **----- Start of picture text -----**

12 | Hatzola Northwest Trust Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 | 13 ## **PARAMEDICS** Reducing pressure on ambulance services is one of the NHS national priorities. Whilst this exposes a particular challenge for high acuity cases, there are ways to reduce pressure on the service overall by offering paramedics help with lower acuity cases. Dispatching someone with advanced clinical skills to a patient, such as a paramedic, allows the patient to be better triaged and in cases where the patient can receive appropriate advice, or medication, not only improves their overall outcome but takes the load off the hospital and saves transportation. On Monday 16th November 2020, Hatzola Northwest began a 2-year journey to become a Paramedic organisation in collaboration with Outreach Rescue Medic Skills. Seven Hatzola Northwest volunteers were enrolled into the two-year programme which will involve over 40 days of face-to-face training, 750 hours of self-directed learning and 1500 hours of supervised practice with an experienced Paramedic. They will be undertaking a range of modules including anatomy and physiology, medical and trauma emergencies, and paediatric and obstetric care. They will also be undertaking over 160 hours of training in local hospitals in order to become the best Paramedics. By March 2023, Hatzola Northwest will aim to become the first Hatzola organisation in the UK to have 24/7 Paramedic cover to improve the assessment, management and treatment for our community. The clinical lead for Hatzola Northwest, Kevin Cuddon, an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, believes this clinical development will make a huge difference in the care and treatment options for the community for generations to come. “We will be able to offer improved patient care including enhanced treatment for critical emergencies like cardiac arrests, fitting and trauma patients and enhanced pain relief and fluid therapy”. Hatzola Northwest Medical Director, Professor Stuart D Rosen MA MD FRCP, “We are extremely excited that seven of our members are spearheading the next stage of development of Hatzola Northwest! This represents a major commitment on the part of all concerned and we are confident that their tremendous efforts in training will transform the care that Hatzola Northwest can deliver - for the great benefit of the whole community.” 14 | Hatzola Northwest Trust’ Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 | 15 ## **Patient feedback** **“** **Excellent service given with the right amount of professionalism and empathy towards the patient.** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**THANK YOU HATZOLA FOR BEING THERE FOR US.** **YOUR QUICK RESPONSE TIME AND EFFICIENT DRIVING, CONCERN FOR THE PATIENT AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOSPITAL ALL ENSURED THAT OUR DAUGHTER RECEIVED THE BEST CARE.** ## **Governing document Related parties and co-** The official name of the charity is Hatzola **operations with other** Northwest Trust and it is a registered **organisations** The official name of the charity is Hatzola Northwest Trust and it is a registered charity constituted by a Declaration of Trust dated 9 September 1994 and amended by Deed on 26 December 2012. None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee of the charity with a supplier company must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission and its charity number is 1041441. ## **Appointment, training and recruitment of trustees** ## **Objectives and activities** The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity and are appointed by agreement of trustees at an annual meeting. The choice is based on applicant’s medical and community knowledge. The charity’s objects are the protection and preservation of health and the relief of sickness. In particular, by the provision of first aid relief and assistance to people who are ill or sick or otherwise in need of medical care and attention, provision of first aid training and the provision of first aid cover at public events in the NorthWest London area. New trustees are provided with trustee induction training which includes an understanding of the content of the Deed of Trust, their legal obligations under the Charities Acts, the organisational structure of the charity and the recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events which enhance their knowledge and skill thereby improving their performance. 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. ## **Management of the charity** The day-to-day affairs of the charity are administered by an operation manager and managed by a committee of volunteers who are elected by the membership. The council of Trustees supervise the activities of the committee. 22 | Hatzola Northwest Trust Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 | 23 ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The trustees are pleased with the performance of the charity during the year under review. The charity’s services have grown over the year and the trustees successfully fundraised in order to meet these increased costs. The extra costs included employing new staff members and renting a new facility for the staff members and volunteers which also includes a training and lectures area, costs associated with training the paramedics and the costs of running two extra ambulances. Total income in the year was £813,376 (2021: £481,810) an increase from the previous year due to the charity’s fundraising efforts. Total expenditure in the year was £706,193 (2021: £488,128) which increased due to the factors mentioned above. ## **Risk management** The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: - an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face; - the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and; - the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity. Attention has also been focused on nonfinancial risks arising from health and safety of the users. These risks are managed by having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular training to ensure that our emergency responders have the required skills, knowledge and competence to administer lifesaving procedures. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures manage all relevant risks. ## **Reserves policy** As at 31 March 2022, £472,231 was held as unrestricted funds and £230,000 as restricted funds, which is earmarked for a new building. It is the policy of the charity to hold in reserve a minimum of one year’s anticipated expenditure to cover in the event of the trust being unable to raise funds for any particular reason. ## **Investment policy and its objectives** It is the policy of the charity to maintain its funds in the form of liquid assets. ## **Plans for future periods** The charity plans to continue to increase, where possible, its existing activities. The trustees’ annual report was approved on 24/01/2023 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: Mr B Liebermann Trustee ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HATZOLA NORTHWEST TRUST** I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hatzola Northwest Trust (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022. ## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

GENERAL INFORMATION** The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The Sorting Office. 2a St Georges, Road, London, NW11 0LR. ## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the charity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 20. ## **2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE** These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the 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 (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011. ## **Fund accounting** ## Unrestricted funds General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on the Statement Of Financial Activities. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. ## **3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. ## Restricted funds Restricted funds are the accumulation of all donations given to the charity. These may be subject to wishes requested by the donor when they make these gifts. Under normal circumstances these wishes will be honoured if they fall within the objects of the charity. ## **Going concern** These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its obligations as they fall due, based on the current net asset position ## **Incoming resources** All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The 28 | Hatzola Northwest Trust Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 | 29 ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably; All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. - interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank; ## **Tangible assets** Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. - income tax recoverable in respect of gift aid donations received is accounted for on an accrual basis. ## **Depreciation** ## **Resources expended** Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: ## Medical and communication equipment - 15% reducing balance - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods; ## Garage & transmitter base - 20% reducing balance Ambulances - 25% reducing balance ## **Financial instruments** - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities; - A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. ## **Trade and other debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. - other expenditure includes all ## **Defined contribution plans** Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other debtors that are classified as receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received net of impairment. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. ## **Trade and other creditors** Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other creditors that are classified as payable within one year are measured at the discounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank. ## **4.
