What we have achlaved: hl hll h from the actlvltl 8 undertakon In the In line with the publlc benefit of the charfty, we were successful in receiving a £895,551 Ambulance Grant from NHS Charities Togeth8r to increase life-saving skills in communities across London-, a strand of LAS'S ambitlOU8 2019 Volunteering Strategy. Our London Lifesavers woject, which is being delivered over two years, aims to recruit 100,000 volunteer8 Wth lifesaving skills and increase public access defibrillators lo 10,000 across London, with the aim of saving at least 100 more lives a year through quick interaction following a cardiac arrest, for the next ten years. A Head of Charity Devglopment was recruited and started in post in September 2021 to be the slrategic and operational18ad for the Charity. We secur8d a Charity of the Year partnership with London Market Forums, our first corporate partnership of Ihis nature. This included being beneficiary of their flagship Market People Awards held on 30th March 2022 which raiBed neady £9,000, with further events planned throughout 2022. Working collaboratively with fiv8 Other NHS ambulance charities we launched our first fundraising campaign, 'Outrun an Ambulance, in January 2022. There was a great amount of engagement from staff and volunteers and the campaign is on track to hit its £10,000 target in 2022. The Charity's first 5 Year Strategy, focusing on increasing unrestricted income, building a support base and improved chanty g0Veman￿ was agreed at the Charitable Funds

Committee in February 2022. This includes a detailed financial forecast to rea¢h £1 million unrestricted income within the lrfe of the Strategy. Initiating a grant round to support our slaff networks.. LGBT+, B-me, Women's, En-Abled and Multi-faith to ensure th8 rigms are championed and voices are heard amongst staff, volunteer5 and patients. We received two legacies in 2021122, £10,000 from th8 Will of the Late Diana Cawson and £93,436.34 from the sale of investments of the Late John Higgins. We are anticipating further update on th8 sale of the Estate of the Late John Higgins, however there is no sufficient infomiation lo estimate any further incom8 at this stage. These generous gffts-in-wills have supported our grant making potents'al. 6. NHS Ch•rities Together grants We continued to spend Stage 1.. Covid Emergency Response grant funding on stocking the Wellbeing Tea Trucks during 2021122. Within year we also launched the new Intranet and continue to host LAS TV Live once a week which was established with support from this grant. Ambulanco Grant In 2021122 we received an Ambulance Grant of £895,551 for our London Lifesaver project to train 100,000 volunteer3 With life-saving skills and increase public access defibrillators to 6,000 acr08s London. The project, to be delivered over two years, include8: Recruiting 5 Training Officer8, a Training Manager, and an Administrator {£793,308 total salary costs) Campaign and promotlonal costs (£93,243) Evaluation and learning1£9,000) Due to the continued high demand for its 5ervi¢e8, the Trust has remained at its highest level of operational pressures, meaning those who are clinical are required to do operational shifts. The training staff recruited for the London Lifesavers project are ther8fore having to take time away from this project which has delayed it. NHS Charities Together have been kept infomied of the chall8nge8 and anticipated timescales. Future Grants The Charlty will continue to monitor grant opportunities from NHS Charites Together, including working up applications for the coming financial year.

Case Study: London Llfesavers Across the capiial last year, London Ambulance Service responded to almost 14,000 cardiac arrests, and in the few minutes it takes for an ambulance crew to arrive at the scene, the actions of passers-by can make the differen￿ between life and death. Without inteNention like CPR and defibrillators the chances of survival decrease by about 10% with every passing minute. The London Lifesaver campaign was launched in October 2021 thanks to funding from NHS Ch8ntl8s Together Ambulance Grant, and aims to train 100,000 people with life-saving skills, and increase the number of public access defibrillators to 6,000 in order to save more than 100 live8 a year. Ashley Bickers, g8neral manager for Greenwich Leisure Limited helped to save Iwo lives thanks to his quick4hinking 8nd speedy interventions- the first, 8 29-y88r-old footballer who collaps8d during a ftx)tball match at Hackney Marshes Leisure Centr8. Ag8in just a few weeks later, Ashley pulled ov9r his car lo h81p a runner who had co118ps8d 8t the sid8 01 the road and ag8in administ8red CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) until ourparamed￿s arrived. There are lots of ways to get involved and become a London Lifesaver, Including opportunities for organisations, local communities and workplaces.

Money re¢elved £1.1 million - Money 8pont- £558k 2021122 represents the highest annual income received by the London Ambulance Charity. This was thanks lo the large restricted grant from NHS Charities Together (NHSCT). Outside of grants, all other income comes voluntarily from corporate giving or the general public as donations or legacies. This year we spent £518k less than we received in income. This is due lo receiving the full two year grant funding for a restricted two year project in the fi'rst year. Money re¢eived: sourees ot funds The chart below shows our main sources of in¢ome over the past three years. Our largest source of income over the lasl two years is from grants (NHSCTI.

We reglstered with Amazonsmile in year and received our fir8t quarterly payout. Corporate Ca80 Study: PWC - #MoveForJack Jack Ryan, a senior manager in the Digital Marketing team at Pwc, sadly lost his life in a traffic accident. On what would have been Jack's 30th birthday his friends and colleagues planned a fundraising activity that would aim to raise £50k in his memory. London Ambulance Service Charitab18 Fund was one of th6 two chosen charities to benetit from the funds raised. Both Jack and his partner had p￿vIOuslY volunteered at LAS. PWC Annual Report 2021.. "After we un8xpectedly lost our colleague Jack Ryan in January in a tr8ffiG incident, his colleagues and friends in thg firm came togethor to celebrate 8nd honour his memory. The resulting #MoveForJack campaign raised £50,000 in funds for two chanties that Jack cherished."

We anticipate grant income to remain our highest source of income until 2023124 due to known grants available to the charity from NHS Charities Together. The new Head of Charity Development is establishing a diverse portrolio of fundraising income streams to maintain income above pre-pandemic levels and to ensure sustainable groW(h.

Future levels of Income The charity is reliant on donations to allow it to make grants to the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust. If income falls, then the chanty would not be able to make as many grants or enter into longer term commitments with the London Ambulance Seniice NHS Trust it supports. As set out in the 5 Year Charity Strategy, the financial plan aims to increase unrestricted income to build the Charrty's reserves to support long term sustainable growth. We expect to receive incom8 of £162.000 across I￿0 grant rounds in 2022123 from NHS Charities Together, and no further grant funding within the next financial year.

resource income streams whilst the Charity is small e.g. established campaigns and event5, staff fundraising and shared initiatives.

1. Our relationshi wlth the wider communl The London Ambulance Charity's ability to continue to support staff, volunteers and patients is relianl on its ability to raise funds from the general public. By raising its profile intemally the Charity is engaging colleagues to take part in rts fijndraising activities, and actively apply for grants to benefit their areas, their tearns and patients they serve.
2. Voluntegrs Volunteer Emergency Responders and Community First Responders, are activated alongside LAS employees to provide an additional response to life-threatened or seriously ill or injured patients. If they arrive before the LAS response they are able to provide emergency lrfe support to the patient. For incidents when the volunteer arrives after an LAS solo responder, they have a vital role in providing trained support to the LAS responders, adding significant benefit to palient outcome8, We've had 201 volunteers who have made 5,850 emergency responses, 2,278 community first responses and delivered 4.783 hours on double crewed ambulances. A total of 30,412 hours was given by volunteers dunng the year to 31 March 2022. In accordance with the SORP, du8 lo the absence of any reliable measurement basi8, the contribution of these volunteers 18 not recognised in the accounts.

Independent auditoes report to the Trustee of London Ambulance Servlce Charltable Fund Opinion We have audited the financial statements of London Ambulance Servicé Charitable Fund ("the charity") for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Stalement of Financial Activities, BalanGe Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and related not8s, including the accounting policies in note 1. In our opinion the financial statements- give a true and fair view of the slate ofthe charity's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of rèsources for the year then ended,. have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial R8POrting St8nd8rd applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,. and have been prepared in accordance with the requirem8nts of the Charitl8s Act 2011. Ba818 for oplnlon We have been appointed a8 audrtor under 88ction 149 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its pr8d8cessors) and report in accordance with regulations made under sectlon 154 of that Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with Intemational Standards on Auditing (UK) I'ISAS {UK}"l and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the Charity in a¢cordan¢e with, UK ethical requirement8 including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained 18 a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion. Golng concern The trustee has prepared the financial statemen18 on the going concem basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the. charity's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material Un￿rtaInlieS that could have cast Significant doubt over its ability to continue a8 a going concem for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statemenls {'the going concem period"). In our evaluation of the trustee's conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charrty's business model and analysed how those risk$ might affect the ¢harity'8 financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. Our conclusions based on this work.. we consider that the trustee's use of the going concem basis of accounting in the p￿paratiOn of the financial statements is appropriate., we have not Identifled, and concur vlth the Iruste8'8 assessment that there is not, a malerial uncertainty related to events or condrtions that, individually or ¢olle¢tively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going Concem for the going concern period. However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may ￿SuIt in outcomes that are inconsistent ￿th judgements that wer8 reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation. Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations - ability to detect Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement dug to fraud 20

To identify risk8 of material misstatement due to fraud ("fraud risks") we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included.. Enquiring of the trustee and other management and inspection of policy documentation as to the Charity's high-181iel policies and pro¢edures to prevent and detect fraud, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. Reading Charitsble Fund Committee minutes. Using analytical procedures to identrfy any unusual or unexpected relationships. We communicated idenlifiÈd fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit. As required by auditing standards, we perfom procedures to address the risk of management override of Gontrols, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition becaus8 there is minimal complexity in revenue recognition or incentives for management to seek to manipulate revenue as commitments are not made in advan￿ offunding being available. We did not identify any additional fraud risks. We performed procedures including identrfying journal entries to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identrfied entries to supporting documentation. These included those post8d to unusual account8, unusual cash account combinations, journals posted with no description, and material post year end journals, Identifying and responding to risks of matenal misst8tement re18t8d to complianGe with18WS and r8gulations We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general comm8rcial and sector experience, through discussion with the trustee and other management la8 required by auditing 8tandards), and discussed with the trustee and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance With laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. Firstly, the Charity is subject lo laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements induding financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation), and we assessed the extent of Gompliance with these laws and regulations a5 part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Whilst the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations, we did not identify any others where the consequences of non-complian￿ alone could have a material effed on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustee and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant co￿espondenCe, an audit will not detect that breach.

Context of the ability of the audit to detect fr8ud or breaches of18w or regulation Owing to the inh8rent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detect8d some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in acGordan¢e wtth auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-complian￿ with laws and regulations is from Ihe events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as wilh any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We ar8 not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to delect non-compliance with all law8 and regulations. Other infomiatlon The trustee is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustee's Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements do8s not cover the other infomiation and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or. except as explicitly stat8d below, any fomi of a85urance conclusion th8reon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein 18 materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if. ba88d solely on that work, we have identified materlal mi8Statements in the other infonnation., or in our opinion, the information given in the Trustee's Annual Report is Inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements. We have nothlng to report in these respects. Matter8 on which we arn required to rnport by oxceptlon Under the Charrties Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our oplnlon.. the Charity has not kept suffi'cient accounting record8; or the financial statements are not in agreement with th8 accounting records; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. We have nothing to report in these resp8Cts. Olher matter . prfor perlod flnan¢lal Statements We note that the prior period financial statements were not audrted. Cons8quently ISAS (UK) requir8 the auditor to state that the corresponding fyures contained within these financial statements are unaudited. Our opinion is nol modified in respect of this matter. Trustee's responslbllltles As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 18, the trustee is responsible for.. the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view- such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error., assessing the charity's ability to continue as a goiThJ concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern., and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities

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 our' opinion in an auditor's report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

A fuller description of our responsibilities is p�ovided on the FRC's website at www.frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the charity's trustee as a body, in accordance with section 149 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

London Ambulancè Servlce Charftable Fund Notes to the Accounts for the year ending 31 March 2022 Accounting Policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Re¢omm8nd8d Pradic8'. Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing th8ir accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepled Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and R8POrt81 Regulations 2008 only to the 8Xtent required to provide a 'true and fair vi8w'. This d8parture has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial R8porting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practlce effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdravm. The Irustee5 reviewed forecast for the next 12 months, there are sufficient reserves in place for the Charity to continue its activities. The Irustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the London Ambulance Chanty's ability to continu8 as a going concern. DonationB and Legacie8 Donation8 and Legacies have been grouped together on the Statement of financial activities. Fund8 Structure , Where the donor has provided for the donation to be sent In furtherance of a specrfied charitable purpose and has therefore created a legal restriction on use of the funds the income is allocated to a restrided income fund. The remaining funds held by the charity are classified as unrestricted income funds. The expenditure of these funds is wholly at the trustee's unfettered discr8tion. The major funds held under these categories are di8clo8ed in note 11. 1.3 Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the following three conditions Can be met.. entitlement - arises when a particular resource is receivable or the charfly's right becomes legally enforceable- 28

probable - it is more likely than not that economic benefrts associated with the transaction or gift will flow to the charity,. and measurement- when the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficiènt reliability. Where there are temis and conditions attached lo incoming resources, particulady grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before income is recognis8d as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until this point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. 1.4 Incomlng resources from legacies Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of th8 legacy is probable. Receipt 18 probable when,. Confimiation has been received from the representative of the estate that the payment of the legacy will be made or properly transferred and once all the conditions attached to the legacy have been fuwilled. Material legacies which have been nolified but not recognised as incoming resources in the Statement of Financial Activitiès are disclosed in a separate note to the accounts with an estimated amount receivabl8. 1.5 Resource expended and irrecoverable VAT Liabilities are recognised as resources are expended as soon as there is a legal constructive obligalion committing the charity to the expenditure. A liability is recognised where the charity 18 under a con8twclive obligation lo make a tran8f8r of value to a third party as result of past transactions or events. All expenditure 18 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classrfied under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. a. Fundraising costs The c08ts of generating fund8 are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity. b. Charitable activities Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs identrfied as wholly or mainly incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objectives. Grants payable which are payments, made to third parties (including NHS bodies) in the furtherance of the charily's charitable objectives. They are accounted for on an accruals basis where the conditions for their payment have been met or where a third party has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Provisions are made where approval has been given by the trustee due to the approval representing a fimi intention which is communicated to the recipient. c. Allocation of support costs 29

Support costs are those costs that do not relate directly to a single activity- The support costs have been allocated against charitable activities. d. Irrecoverable VAT Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a Cost against the activity for which th8 expenditure.was incurred. 1.6 stock Stock is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 1.7 Debtors Debtors are arnounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recov8rable amount. 1.8 Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand 18 held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due. 1.9 Creditors Creditors are amount8 owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expect8 to pay to 8ettl& the debt. 1.10 Post Balance Sheet Events There are no post-balance 8heet events that require adjustment or disclosure. 2.
