Chairman's Statement 

Chief Executive's Report 

**Trustees' Annual Report** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Principal Activities** 

The principal activities of The Air Ambulance Service {"TAAS") are the relief of sickness and injury and the protection of human life, principally (but not exclusively), by the provision of an air ambulance service. 

## **Statement of public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, "Charities and Public Benefit". 

The Air Ambulance Services' charitable objects are stated within its memorandum and articles of association and as such the trustees ensure that the charity's activities are carried out for the public benefit through its strategic priorities. This is done primarily through the delivery of services by the provision of emergency and children's air ambulance services which are provided at no cost to the patient(s). This report allows us to show how our charitable funds are spent and the impact and benefit that this has on those requiring our services, as well as the wider impact on the communities we operate in. 

## **Our fundraising standards** 

As a charity reliant on voluntary income we take an active and responsible approach to our fundraising . Our fundraising activity is carefully planned and all supporter data on our fundraising database is governed by strict consent, unsubscribe and complaints processes. Oversight of these processes is carried out by an internal Data Protection Officer, ensuring we are kept up to date with new legislation as well as supporter feedback. 

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follow the Code of Fundraising Practice. We are also registered with the Fundraising Preference Service, which allows supporters to 'opt out' of receiving communications from us. We received 59 FPS requests in the year (2025). 

We have not had any complaint cases during 2025 which have resulted in involvement from The Fundraising Regulator. The majority of our fundraising activity is carried out by staff directly employed by The Air Ambulance Service, while we also work with a few carefully selected professional partnerships to support our work, such as promotion of the lottery.

Chairman's Chief Executive's Statement Report 

Trustees' Annual Report 

## **Independent Auditors Report** 

Financial Statements 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit 

- The information given in the trustees' report, which includes the directors' report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- The strategic report and the directors' report included within the trustees' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report included within the trustees' report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- Adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company; or 

- The parent charitable company's financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- Certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- We have 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 24, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the 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 group's and parent charitable company'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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## Chairman's Chief Executive's Statement Report 

Trustees' Annual Report 

## **Independent Auditors Report** 

Financial Statements 

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of legacy income, grant income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, designing and performing audit procedures over grant income, designing and performing audit procedures over legacy income, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the 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 with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Trustees' Annual Report 

## **Structure of funds** 


**The Air Ambulance Service** I Annual Report 2025 

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified in the accounts as a restricted fund. Funds where the capital is held to generate income for charitable purposes and cannot itself be spent are accounted for as endowment funds. Other funds are classified as unrestricted funds. Funds which are not legally restricted but which the trustees have chosen to earmark for set purposes are designated funds. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party. Expenditure is matched against the restricted or unrestricted fu ndsto which it relates. Support costs directly attributable to an activity are allocated to that activity. Other costs that cannot be directly attributed are allocated against the categories based on management's estimate of usage of those services. 

## **a) Costs of raising funds** 

The costs of generating funds are the costs associated with generating income through fund raising and other activities, including the costs of the commercial trading operations. 

## **b) Charitable activities** 

The trustees consider that there is only one charitable activity, that of the provision of an air ambulance service. 

## **c) Governance costs** 

These are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity which relate to the general running of the charity as opposed to those costs associated with fundraising or charitable activity. The costs include external audit and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements e.g. the cost of trustee meetings and preparing statutory accounts. 

## **Fixed assets** 

## **Capitalisation** 

All assets falling into the following categories are capitalised. 

- i) Tangible assets which are capable of being used for more than one year and have a cost equal to or greater than £500, (£200 for The Air Ambulance Service Trading Limited) 

- ii) Groups of tangible fixed assets which are interdependent or would normally be provided or replaced as a group with a total value in excess of £5,000 and an individual value of £500 or more, (£200 for The Air Ambulance Service Trading Limited)

Operational and fundraising staff are allocated directly; management and administration are allocated on a time apportioned basis. The expenditure in 2024 was £37.585m of which £33.97lm was attributable to unrestricted funds and £3.614m to restricted funds.

## 6. Staff Costs - continued 

The average number of employees during the year was as follows:

## **Pensions contributions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Annual contributions amounting to £460,761 (2024: £433,476) were charged to the Statement of Financial Activities during the year. At the balance sheet date, there were £80,354 outstanding contributions (2024: £75,039). 

## Key management personnel remuneration 

In 2025 there were ten (FTE 10) members of the senior management team (2024: eight (FTE 5) members) and their aggregate remuneration in respect of qualifying services for the Group was: 

||2025_cooo_|2024_cooo_|
|---|---|---|
|Remuneration receivable|879|553|
|Social security costs|106|56|
|Pension contributions|43|41|
||1,028|650|



The increase in key management personnel costs compared with the prior year reflects the appointment of two additional key management roles and the fact that several individuals were only in post for part of the comparative period, resulting in a full year's cost being recognised in the current year.
