As trustees, we have seen the organisation continue to grow in capability and resilience while responding to over **6,000 emergency calls** across our community. This level of demand reflects the essential role we play and the extraordinary commitment of our volunteers and staff. We were proud to welcome **new cohorts of responders** , strengthening our frontline capacity, alongside the continued development of the **PTA training programme** , which ensures our teams maintain the highest professional standards. Our **joint training exercises with the London Fire Brigade** have further enhanced inter-agency cooperation and improved the safety and effectiveness of our emergency responses. A significant milestone this year was our move into the **new premises at Pearl House** . This dedicated space offers a stable base for training, meetings, and operational coordination, and marks an important step in supporting the long-term needs of the organisation. We also made key investments in our clinical and operational readiness, including the **upgrade of essential equipment across our fleet** , ensuring our responders have the tools they need to deliver safe, high-quality care in every situation. We extend our sincere thanks to our volunteers, staff, donors, and community partners. Your dedication and support enable us to continue delivering an exceptional service, and it remains our privilege to oversee and guide this vital organisation.

It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission and its charity number is 1041441. ## **Appointment, training and recruitment of trustees** The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity and are chosen by agreement of trustees at an annual meeting. The choice is based on applicants’ medical and community knowledge. 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 Act, 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. ## **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. Staff are remunerated in line with roles with similar responsibilities in the charity sector. ## **Related parties and co-operations with other organisations** 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. None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the charity. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 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 person who are ill or sick or otherwise in need of medical care and attention or hospital or clinical nursing services, provision of first aid training and the provision of first aid cover at public events in the Northwest London area. 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. ## **Investments** The charity investment objectives include ensuring that there is minimal risk to its capital. The charity is satisfied that this objective has been met by its risk-free investment and thereby fulfilling the trustees’ responsibilities. - 6 | Hatzola Northwest Trust - aSS **“** **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.** Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2025 | 7 ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** The trustees are pleased with the charity’s performance during the year under review. Services have expanded significantly, requiring additional financial resources. To meet these costs, the trustees successfully undertook fundraising efforts, which supported the acquisition of new leased premises consisting of a training room, offices, stock room, and ambulance base. This was in addition to the deployment of new ambulances and Fast Response Units (FRUs), alongside training for new responders and the provision of CERAD courses to ensure safe and competent emergency response driving. Total income in the year was £963,130 (2024: £1,075,621). The income generated during the period declined, primarily attributable to the impact of a significant fundraising campaign conducted in the previous periods. Total expenditure in the year was £1,281,673 (2024: £1,183,120) which increased reflecting investment in expanding the organisation’s services, fleet, and training provision. To meet the growing demands on its services, the organisation operates a fleet comprising 6 ambulances and 4 FRUs, ensuring rapid response times and comprehensive coverage. Continued investment in the fleet and volunteer teams reflects the charity’s commitment to addressing the increasing healthcare needs of the community with professionalism and compassion. The organisation is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), with emergency responder volunteers holding certifications ranging from FREC 4 to fully qualified paramedics. The organisation continues to deliver comprehensive and ongoing medical training to all emergency responder volunteers. This programme ensures that volunteers maintain the skills, knowledge, and professional competence required to perform lifesaving procedures effectively. By prioritising rigorous training, the organisation upholds the highest standards of emergency medical care and equips responders to manage diverse and challenging situations with confidence and proficiency. The organisation is proud to have a dedicated team of 67 emergency responder volunteers serving the local community of Northwest London, providing urgent and emergency care to those in need. During the year, these responders attended over 6,000 callouts, demonstrating their commitment to delivering timely and effective medical assistance. Each of these callouts was monitored and dispatched by a skilled team of 21 emergency call operator volunteers, who play a vital role in coordinating resources efficiently. 8 | Hatzola Northwest Trust ## **A Year In Numbers** **21 Call operators** **13,872 Total responder dispatches in the year** **Patients transported to hospital: 3,458** **Busiest members attended 958 calls** **Average response time: 6.9 min** Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2025 | 9 **2,357 Ambulances dispatched** **Calls received: 6,872 (a record number)** **61 Emergency responders** **Responders dispatched every day: 38** 10 | Hatzola Northwest Trust ## **SERVICES** ## **Call taking and dispatch** Every second counts in an emergency, and Hatzola Northwest’s volunteer dispatchers work 24/7, 365 days a year to ensure every call is answered promptly. They assess emergencies, provide guidance, and dispatch responders to incidents such as road accidents, home emergencies, emergency childbirth, and cardiac events. Beyond dispatching, they reassure callers and prioritise resources to save lives. This year, they managed a record number of calls, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to providing fast, professional, and compassionate emergency care to the community. ## **Emergency Responders** Day or night, our volunteer emergency medical responders are on the road within minutes of an incoming call. They deal with each crisis efficiently and compassionately, helping to speed up each patients’ road to recovery. Response times for critical and life-threatening situations is usually within minutes, making a significant difference to a patients’ health outcome. All our volunteers attend ongoing training, delivered by qualified medical trainers, to ensure that their skills are kept current and in line with developments in medical research and regulations. ## **On-site treatment** In addition to stabilising seriously ill patients and transporting them to the hospital, our volunteers are often able to treat minor emergencies on scene, avoiding the need for hospitalisation.

THANK UNFAILINGLY PROFESSIONAL, KIND YOU VERY MUCH AND CONSIDERATE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO** # 16 | Hatzola Northwest Trust Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2025 | 17 ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **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 non-financial 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 2025, £1,140,977 (2024: £1,137,732) was held as unrestricted funds and £Nil (2024: £321,788) as restricted funds. 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 26 November 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: Mr S Richman Trustee 18 | Hatzola Northwest Trust ## **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 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of 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. ## **Independent Examiner’s statement** Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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 Pearl House, 746 Finchley Road, London, NW11 7TH. ## **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. ## **3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and the functional currency of the charity is sterling, rounded to the nearest whole pound. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. ## **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 of the charity and available sources of finance. ## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed below. ## **Fund accounting** ## Unrestricted funds General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2025 | 23 ## 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. ## **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 following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - 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; - 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; - income tax recoverable in respect of gift aid donations received is accounted for on an accrual basis. ## **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: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods; - 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; - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 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. 24 | Hatzola Northwest Trust ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** ## **Operating leases** Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. ## **Tangible assets** Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ## **Depreciation** 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 Garage & transmitter base - 20% reducing balance Ambulances and FRUs - 15% reducing balance ## **Financial instruments** 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. 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. ## **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. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank. ## **Defined contribution plans** 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. 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. Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2025 | 25 ## **4. DONATIONS AND LEGACIES** |**4.
