The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2005.

Status

The Charitable organisation was registered in March 2000. On the 19th January 2006 the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales certified that SADS UK was incorporated under the Companies Act 1985 as a private company and that the company was limited. The company was Registered in England and Wales No. 5679989. Registered Office: 22 Rowhedge, Brentwood, Essex CM13 2TS. It retained charitable status and the Charities Commission granted a new registered charity no. 1113681.

Objectives and activities

SADS UK is a cardiac charity working to prevent Sudden Arrhythmic Death due to abnormalities of the heart, which may affect a person at any age, even children. Conditions covered are those such as, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Long QT Syndrome, Short QT, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, Cardiomyopathy and Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy.

The Charity’s Mission Statement is:

To save lives and support individuals and families who are predisposed to sudden death due to heart rhythm abnormalities (cardiac arrhythmia).

The Charity’s Vision Statement is:

General Practitioners, primary care personnel and the general public all understand symptoms (and possible genetic implications) of cardiac abnormalities enabling them to gain early diagnosis and treatment. Defibrillators will be widely placed in the community and all schools and youth establishments will have defibrillators on site, be trained to use them and have an action plan in place to use in the case of a cardiac arrest emergency. Communities will be trained in resuscitation and all community defibrillators will be recorded on The Circuit and be rescue ready. Support will be available to anyone who is impacted by sudden cardiac arrest or sudden arrhythmic death.

Objects registered with Charities Commission

To relieve the distress of persons who have suffered from sudden bereavement or who are aware that they or a family member are susceptible to potentially sudden death through certain medical conditions, particularly, but not exclusively, by the provision of support and information and the provision of funds to supply appropriate preventative equipment (not normally met from statutory funds) to assist in diminishing the risk of sudden death. The objects comply with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission with respect to public benefit.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

SADS UK

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Activities

The charity has five main objectives:

  1. To provide support to families who have suffered a sudden and unexpected cardiac death within their family and to individuals and families who are living with conditions that cause abnormality of the heart rhythm; some of whom have suffered sudden cardiac arrest.

  2. To provide help to lay-people who have participated in or witnessed cardiac resuscitation and who are in need of support.

  3. To raise awareness and educate the general public and healthcare professionals regarding cardiac conditions affecting the heart, in order that those at risk of Sudden Arrhythmic Death (SAD) may be referred for specialist cardiac treatment.

  4. To keep up to date with medical technology and new research advances, supporting research and providing equipment to organisations and health care professionals to assist with the prevention of Sudden Arrhythmic Death.

  5. To guide government legislation and policy to safeguard people who may be at risk from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome if not treated and provide emotional support to those affected. To assist with their objectives SADS UK works with other organisations.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

SADS UK continued to work with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) ensuring that defibrillators donated or organised by the charity had Guardians to take care of the defibrillators and were all placed on a national database of defibrillators run by the BHF, ‘The Circuit.’ Staff participated in a meeting with the BHF and NHS England looking at the most effective and safe ways to install defibrillators in cabinets in the community in order to save more lives.

SADS UK continued to participate in Save a Life Cymru (SaLC) an initiative to bring lifesaving skills to the community of Wales.

The charity has been included on the Resuscitation Council (UK) website as a source to contact for support after cardiac arrest, including those impacted by taking part in a resuscitation. The charity also offers support to sudden cardiac arrest survivors, or family members.

The charity became a member of the Global Heart Hub which shares information and ideas across the world. The Office Manager attended meetings in Windsor and Dublin to network with other charities.

SADS UK kept its supporters up to date with developments in cardiac care and activities of the charity, seeking opinions and sharing articles through Instagram, facebook, the website and the charity bulk email provider Mailchimp. It was noted that followers on Instagram has increased dramatically over the year.

The Technical Manager worked on developing a more affordable defibrillator cabinet, in order to assist more defibrillators being placed in the community.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

SADS UK

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

SADS UK is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 22 Rowhedge, Brentwood, Essex, CM13 2TS.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

The charity has received income during the year from the sale of medical equipment.

SADS UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure and liabilities

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Capitalisation policy

It is the charity's policy to write off items of capital expenditure below £500 to the income and expenditure account.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment

15% reducing balance basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

SADS UK

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

SADS UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
