MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




It’s a real pleasure to write this welcome message as MAGPAS Air Ambulance’s new Chairman. 

I was appointed to the role in June 2021, taking over from Dr Nigel Brown OBE, who ended his 10 years as Chairman of this lifesaving charity earlier this year, in its 50th anniversary. 

During Nigel’s time at MAGPAS Air Ambulance, he led the Board of Trustees to such incredible achievements and provided such great support to the charity, especially through the challenges of COVID-19. On behalf of the trustees, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nigel for his outstanding service for so many years. 

Thanks to donations from our supporters, Nigel and the Board of Trustees were able to ensure MAGPAS became the first Air Ambulance service in the region (and only second in the country) to provide 24/7 critical care. 

I now join the service having previously been the Chief Executive of the Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce for 17 years, and hope to utilise my knowledge and experience to see the charity through new exciting milestones. 

It’s exciting to join the organisation at such a crucial time for MAGPAS Air Ambulance, as we look towards the next 50 years of saving lives by starting work on plans for a purpose-built air base, headquarters and training centre at Alconbury Weald. The MAGPAS Future 50 Appeal, which was established to raise the remaining funds to complete this base build project, is a project I was already chairing and am very passionate about.

John Bridge OBE DL<br>With our AW169<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Over many years, I have witnessed the MAGPAS Air Ambulance flying through our skies to provide lifesaving care to someone whose life hangs in the balance. I’m always mindful that this life could be someone I know or someone I care about very much or I myself might one day need their service. MAGPAS Air Ambulance provides vital care for our community that we have been fortunate to have benefitted from for the past 50 years. 

I am immensely proud to become the Chairman of MAGPAS Air Ambulance at such an important time for the charity, as well continuing to lead the appeal to build a new bespoke airbase creating the foundation for the organisation’s next 50 years. 


John Bridge OBE DL Chairman of the Board of Trustees

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 









I don’t think any of us could imagine that the worst of the Pandemic would see our normal lives impacted so drastically for over 18 months. 

It is impossible to write about 2020/21 without reflecting upon the impact of the pandemic. The Charity had to stop its face to face fundraising for many months and like all health care providers had to adapt our clinical service to meet the demands of COVID-19 and the national lockdowns. While we were unable to achieve our normal community fundraising income, our teams and supporters came up with really imaginative new ways to support us from home or online. 

I am so thankful to our staff, medics, air crew and supporters for all they have done to keep us operating. 

Incredibly we became one of only three Air Ambulance Services in the UK to be able to transport some of the sickest COVID-19 patients around the country as some local hospitals became overwhelmed, thanks in part to our newer larger aircraft AW169, all of this while still responding to local medical emergencies in our communities. 

Despite this difficult time, our medical teams continued to be on the frontline every day; working tirelessly to save precious lives. 

2021 marked the second full year of operating with our new AW169 Aircraft. Our patients are experiencing the incredible benefits of us being able to fly further and faster. This year, our medical team have accumulated over 40,000 flying miles. 20% more than last year! It also marked another landmark with Dr Nigel Brown OBE retiring after 10 years as Chair of the board of trustees. I would like to personally thank Nigel for all of his support and service, volunteering hundreds of hours to the role and inspiring us all. 


Our next big project is to raise the funds to help us build a new air base and training facility, this new centre will be centrally located for our region and will help us respond to our patients even faster, it will also have the right facilities to support our clinicians and crew who work so incredibly hard to keep our community safe and well 24/7. 

We can only do all of this, thanks to you our supporters. 

I hope you enjoy reading this 2021 annual report.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 






I write this welcome note while overseeing our regional Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine training course. These courses are run twice a year to train our new cohorts of Air Ambulance Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics for the East of England Air Ambulance charities. 

It is a privilege, as always, to be a part of our life saving Magpas clinical team and wonderful to be working so closely with our neighbouring Air Ambulance charities with a joint aim of saving lives across our region. 

All of this is only possible thanks to all of our supporters and generous donations from the public, businesses and grant giving institutions. 

Our clinicians see the fragility of life daily in their work. Sadly, this heightened through the COVID-19 pandemic which dominated the last year. The whole organisation really rose to the challenge – supporting the NHS, supporting our patients, and supporting each other. 

Our clinical staff provided more hours of work than ever before.  We provided additional services to support the NHS. We continued to focus on clinical governance, training and quality improvement throughout. 

We contributed to studies across the spectrum of prehospital activity aiming to drive understanding and shape best management of our patients and improve outcomes. 

Throughout the last year we were able to support the NHS by providing emergency patient transfers from intensive care units around the region. We were also one of only three Air Ambulance charities nationally to undertake national COVID patient transfers. As a number of hospitals were overwhelmed with intensive care patients we used our expertise, equipment, helicopter and medical teams to safely transport very sick patients to ICU capacity across great distances. 

We did all of this whilst ensuring our clinicians and patients remained safe. With the highest levels of PPE, new cleaning regimes and purchasing a decontamination unit only before seen in hospital care, we have truly put safety first for all. It has not been easy but we continue to provide lifesaving care to all who need it.

Magpas is a family and we are ready for whatever challenges lay ahead. We are forever grateful to our aircrew, doctors and paramedics who work so tirelessly to keep this essential service running, and to you our supporters for making it all possible.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 






To save lives and limit disability by taking enhanced emergency medical care to patients in their moment of need. 


MAGPAS was formed in 1971 to provide a framework within which volunteer doctors could be trained, equipped and deployed to medical emergencies. As technology and paramedic training evolved it became apparent that there was a real need for very sophisticated pre-hospital critical care for a small number of severely ill or injured patients whose needs exceeded the capabilities of the standard Ambulance Service. 

In late 2001 MAGPAS modernised its provision of pre-hospital critical care. The charity working with the Ambulance Service developed a new clinical service, as well as an integrated governance framework and a research and development framework - all of which have now become recognised as models of best practice within the UK. A robust clinical governance framework was set up which has resulted in the organisation becoming the first charity sector emergency care organisation in the UK to have achieved Care Quality Commission registration. 

The evolution of these services has saved lives, provided access to high quality clinical care and clinical training, contributed to the national development of Community First Responder Services and of PreHospital Emergency Medicine as a medical sub-specialty and demonstrated how the NHS and charity sector can work effectively together in providing pre-hospital critical care.  The charity’s clinical service is now well established and attends via various transport platforms to seriously injured people across twelve counties in the UK.

COVID-19 and the national lockdowns had a significant impact on our 20/21 fundraising plans. Most of our fundraising activity had to stop while our operating costs increased due to additional equipment and PPE requirements and a surge in COVID-19 positive patients.  Fortunately, our supporters responded to our mailed appeals and our lottery and regular giving programmes continued to perform strongly despite our inability to attract new members.  We were also able to successfully access some of the specific Covid-19 emergency funds available and build on our online fundraising.  The Charity also secured a share of national funding from the Department of Health and Social care via Air Ambulance UK. 

Despite the impact on our tactical plans, we were still able to fulfil one of the aims of the five-year fundraising strategy to diversify income, establishing and launching a new challenge events programme in 20/21 as well as introducing other new on and offline initiatives.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 


MAGPAS Air Ambulance would like to thank each and every supporter and funder that donated to us throughout this challenging year. 

MAGPAS has been able to self-fund all of its operating costs during 2020-2021 enabling the Charity to continue attending patients across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and surrounding counties. MAGPAS continues to work towards increasing recurring fundraising streams in order to invest in new clinical equipment, research and development, improved patient liaison and increased clinical staffing levels. 



At the year-end there were total restricted funds of £360,992 (2019-20: £50,919) 

While the Charity aims to maintain 6 months’ worth (£2.2m) of operating capital as unrestricted reserves it currently has £427,905 after fixed assets of £1,208,959 which are not able to be easily sold (2019-2020: £22,540 after fixed assets of £1,124,772). 

Magpas Air Ambulance has worked hard to diversify income and embed new streams over the past year, especially in response to COVID-19, but the impact of the pandemic on our activity has also impacted our ability to increase reserves to the desired level in 20/21.  However, the diversification of income which has been achieved has enabled the charity to be flexible and continue to raise funds from a variety of sources providing strong foundations to increase our reserves in future years. 

In 2020/21 the charity invested in a new online shop in order to strengthen our merchandise income stream as well as improving contactless methods of donating.  We significantly grew our trusts and grants programme, increasing our ability to fund new equipment and projects but crucially also to access specific COVID-19 emergency funding.   Our supporters have continued to show amazing loyalty and generosity during the pandemic with our 20/21 appeals generating the highest levels of income to date.  Our individual giving programme has also given us the ability to recruit new supporters by direct mail, diversifying away from more traditional face to face methods - particularly beneficial during restrictions on personal contact.  Previous investment meant that in 20/21 63% of the charity’s income was generated from regular gifts via direct debit. This continues to provide a strong base of predictable, sustainable long-term funding on which operations can be planned and budgeted.   Although the external context for fundraising still remains challenging due to ongoing impact of the pandemic the organisation has been able to respond positively over the past 12 months ensuring that the life-saving MAGPAS service is there for patients now and long into the future.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance generates the majority of its income through its own Lottery. The MAGPAS Lottery is our weekly draw giving members the chance to win up to £1,000 every week while supporting us to save lives. Tickets cost £1 per week and there are 16 prizes worth between £10 and £1,000 Join thousands of people in your community who keep our air ambulance flying by playing the MAGPAS Lottery. 

Winning tickets are drawn every Friday. Winners are contacted and  the latest results are published on the MAGPAS Air Ambulance website weekly. The MAGPAS Lottery is managed under contract with an external lottery partner. MAGPAS holds a licence with the Gambling Commission which regulates all social lottery providers. 



Many individuals, community groups and businesses fundraise for us throughout the year with inventive ideas and fun events which keep our air ambulance flying, our rapid response cars on the road and our advanced medical team saving lives 24/7. 

From skydives, running events, bike rides and treks to events such as Cuppa and Cake, Christmas Jumper days and the Magpas Mega Quiz, MAGPAS community fundraising provides vital funds throughout the year.  Despite the lockdown at the start of 2021and the ongoing impact of the pandemic the Community and Events team were still able to  raise £385,724 in 20/21 (2019-20: £431,432).   The pandemic had a big impact on our planned events for most of the year, however supporters still found  inventive ways to raise vital funds by taking on virtual challenges or inventing their own ways to continue raising funds. 


In 20/21 support from Grants, Trusts and Foundations was more important than ever, helping to keep our primary service operational as well as funding items, such as a state-of-the-art decontamination unit, specific to enabling activity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. In 20/21 we were fortunate to be able to engage with many of our existing funders to provide specific support during the peaks of the pandemic as well as attracting funders from new Trusts.  We missed being able to meet with funders face to face but carried out meetings via the phone and online.  A list of acknowledgements can be found on page 14. 


Our individual giving programme has been an important income stream in 20/21.  Our supporters responded phenomenally to the two Flying High newsletters we sent during the course of the year and this proved to be an important vehicle for donations as well as an effective way to update our supporters of our work and Covid-19 specific activity during the 2[nd] peak of the pandemic.  The newsletter forms part of our growing individual giving programme alongside two mailed raffle appeals and our regular giving programme established on 2019.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 



The MAGPAS service has advanced immensely throughout the Charity’s near 50-year history, as skill levels have continually improved, the MAGPAS service has become increasingly specialised. With nearly 50 Doctors and Paramedics trained within our service MAGPAS covered over 95% of all available hours. Working within the nationally recognised 999 emergency call system, the range and capacity of the MAGPAS service is set out in a formal Memorandum of Understanding with the East of England Ambulance Service Trust and East Midlands Ambulance Service. Since its inception, MAGPAS has retained its core objective of treating injury or sickness by the provision of immediate medical care to any persons involved in accidents or medical emergencies. In 2020-21 the MAGPAS Air Ambulance service was dispatched to 1,269 patients in 11 counties (2019/20 1,131 patients), around 50% of our patients are in Cambridgeshire and 20% in Bedfordshire, our busiest counties. 

MAGPAS only exists due to its volunteers, supporters and staff, to ensure the continued delivery of our lifesaving service and its sustained 24/7 operations. The Charity took part in two regional East of England Pre Hospital Emergency Medicine training courses; each of these courses trained a number of new clinical team members. 

The quality of MAGPAS training and its translation into service standards has been increasingly recognised by a number of eminent national training bodies.  The Charity has been instrumental in obtaining General Medical Council recognition for an approved Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine training programme for the United Kingdom. In partnership with The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, The College of Emergency Medicine, The Royal College of Anaesthetists, Royal College of General Practitioners, Health Education East of England and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, MAGPAS has been proud to host and partially fund the United Kingdom’s very first trainees in the sub-specialty of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine. 







- Our medics gave specialist emergency care to 743 patients, 83 more than last year 

- Brought enhanced medical care to 59 children in emergency situations 

- Flew 40,357 miles in our Air Ambulance. That’s more than it would take to fly around the earth 

- Covered 39,782 miles in our 3 dedicated Rapid Response Vehicles 

- Our specialist medical team treated 274 patients involved in road traffic collisions 

- We were activated to 459 serious medical events, including cardiac arrests, in 2020-21 

- We airlifted over 37 patients to hospital and conveyed 382 patients by a land ambulance to hospital

- Participation in national blood trial 

- Hosted 11 full-time Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine training doctors 

- Participation in national and regional Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine training courses

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 



- An increase in patients injured on our roads and an increase in medical incidents 

- 150 patients were placed into an induced coma at the scene of their emergency – something usually only available in hospital 




- £7,123 - average cost per patient by Magpas Helicopter 

- £2,217 - average cost per patient by Magpas Rapid Response Vehicle 



MAGPAS works very closely with an increasing number of NHS and charity partners; the charity however remains independent with self-determination over its activities. Arrangements with the East of England Ambulance Service, East Midlands Ambulance Service and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are operationally governed by formal Memoranda of Understanding/Service Level Agreements. 

Although independent, MAGPAS continues to work very closely with our neighbouring Air Ambulance Charities, plus acute trusts across the region and beyond. 

MAGPAS is a member of Air Ambulance UK (AAUK) and The British Association for Immediate Care (BASICS). 





MAGPAS Air Ambulance Trustees and Executive Leadership Team maintain a comprehensive risk register and business continuity plan. 

The Charity has in place a Board Assurance Framework and formal risk management process to assess any risks to the Charity and implement risk management strategies. This involves identifying the types of risks, often through Significant Event reporting (SER) the Charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence/reoccurrence, and identifying means of mitigating risk. 


The charity needs to relocate due to the sale of the land by DIO at its current airbase - RAF Wyton. After an extensive search, a site on the outskirts of Alconbury Weald provided the optimum location to reach patients across our area of operation, by land and by air, in the most effective way possible. MAGPAS has been granted full planning permission to build a new headquarters and training centre. Site started in 2020 and MAGPAS Air Ambulance expects to start building work in late 2021 and aims to complete the new airbase by 2023.   In addition to core service funding, the charity is now embarking on a specific and separate capital campaign to fund the cost of building its new headquarters and airbase at Alconbury Weald.  The total build cost of the project will be finalised with the procurement of a main contractor and build suppliers. Magpas welcomes the opportunity to talk to local/regional construction companies and funders who may be willing to support the project build and finance for the project.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 



The Executive Leadership Team, Clinical Governance Committee review the risk register monthly and Trustee Board review the risk register annually. 

The Trustees review the adequacy of the Charity’s current financial controls on a regular basis and each of the identified risks on a rotational basis. The Executive Leadership Team and Clinical Governance Committee also review individual elements of the risk register as part of their monthly meetings. The trustees are able to report that, in their opinion, the Charity’s internal financial controls conform to Charity Commission guidelines. Currently, the most significant corporate risks defined by the trustees are: 

a. inadequate funding to run the service as demand grows 

b. the loss of helicopter and operating base 

- c. the impact of the departure of senior staff creating a skills gap in the Charity 

To mitigate these risks, 

- (a.) significant executive time is invested in increasing fundraising revenue and diversification away from MAGPAS lottery funding. The Charity has employed a full-time fundraising director who has increased fundraising activity and headcount, Voluntary income is growing as a result. 

- (b.) The CEO and Director of Operations procured a new aircraft and the helicopter contract has provision to supply a spare aircraft in the event of inoperability, we also work closely with neighbouring Air Ambulance Charities to ensure regional air cover. 

- (c.) The Remuneration Committee is in place to ensure Senior Management pay is under regular review and reviews Key Performance Indicators and annual appraisals, the nomination committee meets annually to succession plan and review senior appointments. 

These risks, as well as other risks identified by the board, continue to be monitored and mitigated against, both in terms of the likelihood of these situations occurring and the impact on the Charity if they were to happen.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2019, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Since the charitable company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 


In setting its objectives and planning its activities and services, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on the Public Benefit Requirement under the Charities Act 2011. As access to services is based on need and no charges are made for services provided to the public, the trustees consider that the charity meets the important principles of the public benefit requirement. 



Information regarding the Structure, Management and Governance is included at the back of this report on pages 52-53, and Reference and Administrative details of the charity, its trustees and advisors are included on page 52. 


The trustees (who are also directors of MAGPAS for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102) 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website.  Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Magpas Air Ambulance (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating the Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’’. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 June 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## Other information 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

A Company Limited by Guarantee Registered Number: 06062176 Charity Number: 1119279 

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

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

- the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report, incorporating the Director’s Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- The Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

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

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement in the Trustees’ Report, 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. 

27 | P a g e 



A Company Limited by Guarantee Registered Number: 06062176 Charity Number: 1119279 

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

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

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charity and how it operates and considered the risk of the Charity not complying with the applicable laws and regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the financial statements.  This included those regulations directly related to the financial statements.  In relation to the Charity this included employment law, financial reporting and health & safety. 

The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit.  We carried out specific procedures to address the risks identified these included the following: 

- We reviewed systems and procedures to identify potential areas of management override risk. In particular, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant t transactions to identify large or unusual transactions. 

- We reviewed key authorisation procedures and decision making processes for any unusual or oneoff transactions. 

- We reviewed minutes of Trustee Board meetings and agreed the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. 

- We have made enquiries of management and officers of the charitable company regarding laws and regulations applicable to the organisation. 

- We reviewed the risk management processes and procedures in place including a review of the Risk Register and Board assurance reporting. 

- We have reviewed any correspondence with the Charity Commission and reviewed the procedures in place for the reporting of incidents to the Trustee Board including serious incident reporting of any such matters if necessary. 

28 | P a g e 



A Company Limited by Guarantee Registered Number: 06062176 Charity Number: 1119279 

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

## Use of this Report 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, 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 trustees 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2021 




## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## 1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

MAGPAS meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

The financial statements are prepared in GBP and rounded to the nearest pound. 

## 1.2 Company status 

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, and incorporated in the UK. The charities registered office is Centenary House, St Marys Street, Huntingdon, and its registered number is 06062176. The members of the charity are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. 

## 1.3 Going Concern 

The charity has considered whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. To do this, they have considered whether there are any material uncertainties as to the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

The charity has also considered the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether any adjustments are required to the reported amounts in the financial statements. 

The charity has prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the year end which demonstrate that the cash reserves will continue to meet liabilities as they fall due. 

The charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. 

## Assessment of COVID-19 

During the finalisation of these accounts Coronavirus (COVID-19) has evolved into an unprecedented public health emergency in the UK and around the world, causing disruption to businesses and economic activity. The charity considers this outbreak to be a non-adjusting post balance sheet event. 

The situation remains dynamic as governments around the globe take unprecedented measures to slow the spread and mitigate the human tragedy. As the circumstances are evolving rapidly, we do not consider it practicable to provide a quantitative measure of the potential impacts on the Charity beyond that provided in these accounts.

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

## 1.4 Fund accounting 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 17. 

Funds provided in relation to the purchase of the land because unrestricted once the costs were incurred and are included with funds transferred line within the Statement of Financial Activities and included in note 17. 

## 1.5 Income 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income received from participants of the lottery is recognised on the date of the draw to which the participant is being entered. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charitable company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charitable company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution.  Where legacies have been notified to the charitable company, or the charitable company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charitable company where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charitable company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charitable company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount the charitable company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

## 1.6 Expenditure 

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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitable company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Costs of raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charitable company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charitable company apportioned to charitable activities. 

Redundancy and termination costs are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities and a liability on the Balance Sheet immediately at the point the charity is demonstrably committed to either: 

- Terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before normal retirement date; or 

- Provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. 

The charity is considered to be demonstrably committed only when it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal from the plan. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## 1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation 

All assets costing more than £5,000 are capitalised. 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

|Medical equipment|-|25% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Motor vehicles|-|25% - 33% reducing balance|
|Office equipment|-|25% straight line|
|Other fixed assets|-|25% straight line|
|Leasehold improvements|-|20% straight line|
|Asset Under Construction|<br>-|Not depreciated|

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

## 1.8 Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charitable company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## 1.9 Leasing and hire purchase 

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the charitable company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities Incorporating Income and Expenditure Account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period. 

## 1.10 Operating leases 

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities Incorporating Income and Expenditure Account on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## 1.11 Investments 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value and are included in the Statement of Financial Activities. There were no realised gains during the year. 

## 1.12 Stock 

Stock of retail goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. The value of these goods is immaterial in respect of these accounts and therefore is not included. Donated items of stock for resale or distribution are not included in the financial statements until they are sold or distributed because the Trustees consider it impractical to be able to assess the amount of donated stocks as there are no systems in place which record these items until they are sold and undertaking a stock take would incur undue cost for the charity which far outweigh the benefits 

## 1.13 Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

## 1.14 Cash at Bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## 1.15 Liabilities and provisions 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. 

## 1.16 Financial instruments 

The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of fixed assets which are valued at amortised cost and investments which are valued at fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price which is considered to be the fair value. 

## 1.17 Taxation 

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## 1.18 Pensions 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charitable company to the fund in respect of the year. 

## 1.19 Significant accounting estimates 

In preparing these accounts there are no significant accounting policies or estimates used that would materially affect the results for the year (2020: none).

- Exits took place from July 2020 through to August 2020 and the payments are accounted for within the 2020/21 financial year. 

- The policy is to account for the termination payments at the point that the employee accepted the offer. 

- The total payments made were £20,958 (2019: £Nil).
