MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Message from our Chairman

I am immensely proud to be the Chairman of MAGPAS Air Ambulance at such an important time for the charity in its 50[th] year.

Over many years now, I have seen the MAGPAS Air Ambulance flying through our skies to provide lifesaving care to people in their moment of need.

The trustees and I are extremely mindful that this is only possible thanks to the help of our supporters. Every year we need to raise over £5 million to continue to operate 24/7 and it is only with the support of the communities we serve that we are able to achieve this.

I am proud to lead a Trustee board that has given a huge amount of time and commitment to MAGPAS over the years ensuring it delivers its services to the very highest of standards.

This year we have worked alongside our supporters, volunteers, staff, clinicians, and partners to make significant progress towards the achievement of our strategic objectives. You will see later in this report that fundraising, finance, sustainability, environment, and collaboration will feature strongly alongside our core values of caring, pioneering, dedicated and proud.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our CEO, executive team, and all staff for their significant contributions to the outstanding performance of MAGPAS in the past year, the organisation has moved forward significantly from the challenges of the pandemic and imbedded several significant improvements to our service.

Since our last annual report, we have been fortunate to host the Patron of our Future 50 appeal: HRH The Princess Royal, who officially launched the start of our new airbase project after visiting the site of our current base and hearing about the difference it will make to our teams as well as to the people of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and surrounding counties.

This project will reach completion in the coming year and the new air base, training facility and HQ for MAGPAS Air Ambulance, positioned at the centre of our region will help us respond to our patients even faster. As well as have the right facilities to support our crew who work so incredibly hard to keep our community safe and well 24/7.

The building will also feature new facilities to deliver community training such as CPR, injury prevention, research facilities, crew rest facilities and patient facilities.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Message from our Chief Executive

Welcome to the MAGPAS Annual Report

As we reflect on the year 2021-22, it has without a doubt been a year of some of our biggest achievements to date which I am excited to share with you throughout this report.

Much of the year will inevitably be remembered for the disruption and damage caused by the continuation of the pandemic, which stopped most of our face-to-face and community fundraising for significant periods of time. However, we innovated and held true to our pioneering values by creating virtual events, adapting our community fundraising, and launching our MAGPAS lottery online for the first time. With over 70,000 tickets now in our weekly draw providing over £3.5m of sustainable funding for our charity services. More information on our lottery, prizes and how to sign up can be found here.

For MAGPAS Air Ambulance, the caring and collaborative effort of our clinicians, pilots and staff who remained on the frontline throughout the pandemic saving lives will live long in our memory. This of course was only possible thanks to our supporters, trustees, volunteers, and amazing team of fundraisers. We simply couldn’t do it without you!

The past year has seen MAGPAS publish the outcomes of some of our cutting-edge clinical research which has drawn national and international attention to our service. In the coming year(s) we will continue to invest in research, audits, and innovation to improve our patient outcomes and reduce the need for our services, measure results and publish our findings for public benefit.

Our successful public CPR training, which this year alone trained over 3,500 people in the lifesaving skills, was expanded to improve our chain of survival so that when our air ambulance teams arrive patients have already received effective CPR.

We were delighted to be able to start arranging patient visits once again, recognising this as often an important element of recovery. At the same time, we have been strengthening our mechanisms for gathering patient feedback to inform patient care and future service developments.

This year, working with our highly skilled paramedics and local ambulance service, we plan to launch a dedicated advanced practitioner service, in addition to our air ambulance service. Further developing our advanced paramedic career paths, and enabling us to continue to serve our community and provide more patients with advanced care when they need it.

In recognition of the hard work and commitment our frontline teams give to the service, at the end of the year, it was a great pleasure to work with Air Ambulance UK to secure Queens platinum Jubilee medals for our clinical and pilot team members A small gesture to show how very grateful the whole nation is for their dedication and commitment to saving lives in the most difficult of circumstances.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Message from our Medical Director

50 years ago, two innovative local doctors recognised that there were patients who were in need of emergency medical care at home or the scene of an accident.

These forerunners combined the best clinical care at that time with pioneering technology (to alert them when their help was needed), rapid transport (usually their own cars) and with partnerships with the emergency services (to know when and where to go). And so it was then that MAGPAS (Mid Anglia General Practitioner Accident Service) was first created.

We find ourselves a very different organisation 50 years later but one that still maintains the principles of excellence in clinical care, pioneering innovations, and personal and organisational dedication with our clinical team now responding by helicopter and rapid response vehicle, covering 12 counties, and caring for a population of over 10 million.

Throughout this year we continued to provide our service 24/7 despite the challenges of Covid-19 as well increasing our provision through a second team based in Luton two days per week to meet an identified need for more enhanced emergency care in the area.

The introduction of the new RRV for this service proved to work so well, we funded two more RRVs in this model, which offers us more capabilities and space than our previous cars. This means we now have a full fleet of one air ambulance and three rapid response vehicles, which are all branded to look the same and be recognisable as our team treat patients across the East of England and beyond.

Our technology improved this year too with generous donations funding new ultrasound machines (almost pocket sized now!) and new advanced ventilators to breathe for patients when we anaesthetise them.

We also welcomed the results of a four-year clinical study that we participated in examining the use of prehospital blood as a treatment for trauma patients and this has led on to our commitment to fund and take part in another trial – the first of its kind in the UK examining the impact of whole blood.

We are fortunate to have incredible clinicians work with us and are passionate about developing them and the service more. That’s why we invested in and expanded our clinical leadership team with 5 new exciting clinical leads who are now driving excellence in everything from training to research and patient engagement.

I remain inspired by all our MAGPAS team. I am full of admiration for the incredible dedication of all our staff in ensuring we are able to provide the best lifesaving care possible to patients. All of this made possible thanks to generous support from the public, businesses and grant giving institutions. Thank you.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

50 Years of Saving Lives

This year marked the charity’s 50-year anniversary. MAGPAS, which originally stood for the Mid-Anglia General Practitioner Accident Service, was the brainchild of Dr Neville Silverston MBE and Dr Derek Cracknell MBE. The two Cambridgeshire GPs paved the way for Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, for which MAGPAS Air Ambulance is now renowned for.

In the past 50 years, MAGPAS has attended over 70,000 patients saving countless lives. and raised tens of millions of pounds, all thanks to the service’s supporters, patients, clinicians and staff.

The charity celebrated in a number of ways, including by marking the occasion with a 50[th] Anniversary edition of our newsletter, Flying High, which included then and now comparisons as well as patient stories from over the years.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Key highlights:

MAGPAS Air Ambulance saw an increase in patients injured on our roads and an increase in incidents involving assaults. Our medics also gave specialist emergency care to 814 patients, 71 more than last year.

With around 50 doctors and critical care paramedics trained within our service.

Luton Service

In September 2020, after identifying the need for a further MAGPAS team in the area, the charity launched an additional road-based service in Luton, Bedfordshire operating two days a week. This specialist service brings an advanced level of emergency medical care to the town and surrounding areas and improves response times to the area by up to 40 minutes on average. The service is staffed by the existing critical care paramedics and doctors that operate from our primary base at Wyton and a dedicated vehicle is provided for the Luton service which was funded through a grant provided by BASICS.

The pilot scheme has proved to be of benefit so far. We have covered 107 shifts, been activated 192 times and treated 113 patients. However, as it launched during the pandemic the charity wanted to extend the pilot to see what the use of the service was post-pandemic. It is now being extended until 2024 with exciting development opportunities planned for this additional service.

New Rapid Response Vehicles

With the development of the new service in Luton, the charity needed an additional rapid response vehicle in their fleet to serve the Luton and south Bedfordshire communities and secured a new car with thanks to grant funding, including gifts from the Bedford and Luton Community Foundation & BASICS.

This new model of car was selected for its size, safety and advanced capabilities. MAGPAS Air Ambulance Critical Care Paramedic Steve Chambers explains, “This new vehicle has a bigger boot, more spacious interior compared to our previous RRVs and is one of the safest cars on the road. The vehicle is an authority’s division version of the Volvo XC90 SUV with benefits over the standard road car such as a larger fuel tank and bigger brakes. In terms of technical specifications, its hybrid engine produces 300 BHP meaning good acceleration for safer overtaking. There is also over 1,000 litres of boot space which means we can now carry all of our equipment in the rear compartment rather than placing some items on the back seats as we have had to do previously.”

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

The Volvo was a success and as a result the charity decided to upgrade the remaining two cars in the charity’s fleet late 2021, with the help of their corporate supporters Cox Automotive. This also provided the opportunity to upgrade the livery so for the first time all the MAGPAS Air Ambulance vehicles are identifiable when out saving lives in the community.

Solo paramedic shifts

Our first solo paramedic shift commenced in May. In its first three months, the paramedics have covered 24 shifts, been activated to 40 incidents, and seen 24 patients. Solo paramedic shifts enable us to continue to serve our community, provide more patients with advanced care and get the MAGPAS Air Ambulance brand out there, on occasions when otherwise a shift would have been dropped. We feel that these are an important part of developing the paramedic career path.

Talking about the solo shifts, Critical Care Paramedic Andy Ormiston explains, “It’s been a great opportunity for engagement and relationship building with local ambulance crews. By offering these shifts, the charity is helping to support the long-term plans for ambulances in the region, as we’re able to be more autonomous with equipment we’re already used to, in a safe environment for us to grow as clinicians. It’s great that we’re professionally adapting and moving forward as an organization to being more fluid and being unafraid to try new things.”

In 2021-22 the MAGPAS Air Ambulance service was dispatched to 1,199 patients in 10 counties (2020/21 1,269 patients), 47% of patients were in Cambridgeshire and 22% in Bedfordshire, our busiest counties. While our team are primarily focused in Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas, this year has seen them travel as far north as Hull and as far south as Essex.

Relationships with other organisations & individuals

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) the representative body and national charity that supports Air Ambulances in the UK.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Patient and relative feedback

Letters and feedback forms were sent to appropriate patients approximately 6 weeks after their incident. During the year, 298 patients were contacted in this way to request feedback and provide details about how they can get in touch. Anonymous feedback was received from 12 patients and families using the feedback form on our website. 60% of patients and families rated their experience of our service as ‘Very Good’ and 100% of patients and families said they felt safe during their treatment from our teams.

Additionally, messages to the team were received from 9 patients and families using the website ‘message to the team’ feature. Emails were also received from 20 patients and families in which many were contacting to say ‘thank you’ to the team or to find out more about their own or their relatives care.

RePHILL trial results and SWIFT

MAGPAS Air Ambulance are proud to have taken part in the RePHILL blood trial. It was the first collaboration of its kind in the UK involving Air Ambulance charities with the aim of investigating the use of blood products in major trauma patients. This now paves the way for further pioneering blood product research which MAGPAS Air Ambulance is excited to be involved with.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance is proud to have contributed to this important trial and we are committed to being involved in future research that helps to inform clinical decision making and improve patient outcomes.

The next trial the charity will be involved with is SWIFT, a multi-centre randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of pre-hospital whole blood for traumatic haemorrhage.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance is always striving for clinical excellence. One way to achieve this is by participating in clinical trials and research, something the charity can choose to be a part of as MAGPAS Air Ambulance is independent from the NHS. The next of which is a new, nationwide blood trial: SWIFT—the Study of Whole blood in Frontline Trauma.

There are 10 air ambulance services across the country participating in the trial, investigating the impact of using whole blood on patients who have sustained traumatic injuries at incidents such as road traffic collisions and assaults.

Although whole blood is routinely used in the military, it’s never before been used in the UK health service, so the results of this trial will produce pioneering learning and shape the use of blood products across the medical sector.

Clinical research papers published

‘Airborne transmission of Covid-19’— A paper written on the Covid-19 transfers undertaken by MAGPAS Air Ambulance, written by Dr Becky Mersh and Dr Anne Booth was published in the Royal College of Anaesthetists Bulletin.

‘Resuscitation with blood products in patients with trauma-related haemorrhagic shock receiving prehospital care (RePHILL): a multicentre, open-label, randomised, controlled, phase 3’—A research paper which MAGPAS Air Ambulance Medical Director, Doctor Simon Lewis, contributed to, was published in The Lancet.

An exciting open-access article was also published in BioMed Central, by MAGPAS doctors James Price and Alistair Steel in collaboration with East Anglian Air Ambulance, demonstrating the benefits of our training and operational model for our patients. Some of our most critically injured patients need to be placed into an induced coma at the roadside which our clinicians are trained to the highest level to perform. We’re proud to report that here at MAGPAS Air Ambulance we have one of the highest success rates in the world for this procedure leading to the best outcomes for our patients. This works because our doctors and critical care paramedics train and operate interchangeably.

Clinical Training

Once again, MAGPAS Air Ambulance delivered two Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine training courses in 2021-22. The charity has been intrumental in the development and provision of this training for almost 20 years, and is renowned for it in the medical world.

The training is led by some of our most senior clinicians and is comprised of lectures, demonstrations and simulations—before culminating in a day of examinations before our latest cohort of doctors and paramedics take on supervised shifts.

This year, MAGPAS Air Ambulance trained 4 doctors and 3 paramedics in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, who went on to join our 50-strong team of advanced medical professionals providing lifesaving care 24/7.

As well as the PHEM course, the whole MAGPAS Air Ambulance medical team completed their Ultrasound Level 1 course following the charity’s investment in the Butterfly Ultrasound. And new paramedics joined in a mentorship programme, provided by our advanced paramedics, who have trained and been in the role for many years prior.

Community CPR

MAGPAS Air Ambulance created our free Community CPR programme, with the objective to raise awareness of the prevalence of cardiac arrest and train members of the public in the East of England to:

14 | P a g e

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

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Despite being unable to provide our Community CPR training for a few months in the 2021/22 financial year due to the pandemic, MAGPAS Air Ambulance managed to train 3,348 people in the lifesaving skills of CPR and how to use a defibrillator in just 9 months.

The team providing this training consisted of our community training and engagement officer and two fully trained volunteers, and were active in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Northampton and Norfolk. They taught people from the age of 8-99 in schools, community groups and businesses; at large events such as the Cambridgeshire County Day and included disadvantaged groups such as people with English as a second language, people with learning disabilities and refugees.

Of everyone taught, MAGPAS Air Ambulance received 100% positive feedback from 2,805 feedback sheets that were completed and received approximately £3,500 in donations to the charity.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

The MAGPAS Air Ambulance Lottery

The MAGPAS Air Ambulance lottery continued to be our largest source of income contributing 54% of all funds raised. The recruitment of new lottery players was still significantly impacted by the ongoing effects of the pandemic resulting in a small decrease in total income from 20-21 from £3.56 million to £3.5 million however significant progress was made at the end of the year by launching a fully digital sign up and welcome journey supplementing offline recruitment methods and improving the player lead times.

Our reserves

At the year-end there were total restricted funds of £1,705,713 (2021-22: £360,992)

While the Charity aims to maintain 6 months’ worth (£2.2m) of operating capital as unrestricted reserves it currently has £396,938 after fixed assets of £1,239,926 which are not able to be easily sold (2020-21: £427,905 after fixed assets of £1,208,959).

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 21/22. 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.

Sustainable, Conscientious Fundraising

Our focus for 2021-22 was to continue to expand the ways in which people support MAGPAS Air Ambulance by building on the success and innovation of the previous two years and developing new activity into longer term more sustainable income streams.

Community and events—Virtual challenges and in-person events

Although Community and Events activity was still being impacted by the pandemic at the start of the year, the team achieved a 79% increase in income compared to 2020-21. This was mainly driven by a return of supporter led activity and challenge events as well as investment in the first MAGPAS Air Ambulance virtual challenge: Run a Mile a Day in May and a large scale in-person fireworks event close to our HQ in Huntingdon. Choreographed by award winning Komodo Fireworks.

Between these two events over 5,000 people participated, raising important awareness and generating over £38,000. Both events have been further developed for inclusion in the 2022-23 activity plan.

Community CPR—Award winning volunteer

2021-22 was another successful year for MAGPAS Air Ambulance community CPR training, training over 3,340 people in nine months. MAGPAS Air Ambulance volunteer, David Walston, also won Volunteer of the Year in the prestigious Chartered Institute of Fundraising East Anglia Awards.

As one of MAGPAS Air Ambulance’s former patients, David has dedicated his free time to teaching hundreds of people lifesaving CPR skills following his own cardiac arrest in 2019— as well as being a father of two, husband and outside of his job as a farmer and his other voluntary work as a community first responder.

It was a really proud moment for the charity to see David win the Volunteer of the Year award. It is truly humbling that David is using his second chance to train people in the skills that saved his own life, and every session he delivers makes the communities that MAGPAS Air Ambulance serve safer. David is a fantastic advocate for the charity, and his volunteering will save lives and keep families together in the future.

Grants, trusts and foundations—Ventilators

Support from grants and trusts continued to be one of our key income sources; helping to keep our primary service operational as well as funding crucial, specific pieces of equipment. One application that had huge success was the bid for new Hamilton T1 ventilators.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance pioneers outstanding patient care and one of the ways they continue to do that is by keeping up with the latest equipment innovations. On every shift, the medical team carry a ventilator with them, which has the functionality of a fully featured intensive care unit ventilator, with the compactness and robustness required for regular transport and use in often challenging environments. Recently, a new version of the Hamilton T1 Ventilator was identified as the best option for MAGPAS Air Ambulance patients and the charity was able to purchase four, thanks to funding from the HELP Appeal.

The HELP Appeal is the only charity in the country that funds the development of helipads at Major Trauma Centres, key A&E hospitals and air ambulance bases. Following a significant donation of £300,000 in 2021 for MAGPAS Air Ambulance’s helipad at the charity’s new air base, which will begin construction this year, the HELP Appeal was keen to hear more about the lifesaving charity’s equipment needs. After learning about the difference new MAGPAS Air Ambulance ventilators could make to patients across the region, the HELP Appeal donated a further £95,027 to MAGPAS Air Ambulance to fund this new lifesaving equipment.

The application for the ventilators was so successful that the charity received more pledges for funding than were ultimately needed. Fortunately, other trusts and grants that wanted to contribute to the ventilator fund, were happy to transfer their gifts to other pieces of equipment and service costs, helping the charity continue to save lives 24/7.

Acknowledgements

We formally acknowledge funding from our supporters in the most appropriate method. Our special thanks go to the following for making a special contribution to our work during the last financial year:

Individual Giving—50[th] anniversary edition of Flying High

As 2021-22 marked 50 years of saving lives for the service, this was reflected in the Spring 2022 edition of our bi-annual newsletter, Flying High.

Looking back to the very early days and at the differences in the service now, with patient case studies spanning that time and a timeline illustrating the evolution of MAGPAS Air Ambulance, the 50[th] anniversary edition of Flying High is something that staff and supporters of MAGPAS Air Ambulance— past and present—will enjoy for years to come.

The newsletter was sent with a request for a gift of £50 in our 50[th] year, and those who made that donation received a limited edition Future 50 pin badge as a thank you. In total, the mailing raised £32,840 to help keep MAGPAS Air Ambulance operational and saving lives for the next 50 years.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

Workforce Plan

The MAGPAS Air Ambulance team has continued to grow, develop and thrive.

New starters and positions

In 2021-22, we welcomed eight new starters at head office across multiple departments, including a senior philanthropy officer, individual giving officer, marketing manager, digital fundraising officer, business support manager, caretaker and cleaner.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance also saw seven new medical team members join the service to help provide around the clock critical care, and created 5 new clinical leads roles.

The introduction of the new clinical leads is an extremely exciting new development and the investment in expanding our clinical leadership team will ensure we continue to drive excellence in everything from training to research and patient engagement.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance is also working to develop an advanced practitioner career path for our current full-time paramedics, to work in partnership with the charity and the East of England Ambulance Service Trust.

Non-clinical training

The non-clinical team members completed 230 hours of training in 2021-22; an average of 8.5 hours per team member and all non-clinical staff remain at 100% compliance with all mandatory training.

Armed Forces Covenant signed

The defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant. The ERS is designed primarily to recognise private sector support although public sector organisations such as the emergency services, local authorities, NHS trusts and executive agencies are also eligible to be recognised. MAGPAS Air Ambulance is delighted to have not only signed the Armed Forces Covenant but has also been awarded a Silver Award in the 2022 Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.

Wellbeing programme

As part of our continued dedication to MAGPAS Air Ambulance’s team members’ wellbeing, we have seen the implementation of a new wellbeing calendar that forms our annual plan for wellbeing topics throughout the year. This is supported by a monthly wellbeing newsletter that is sent out to all team members, our intranet wellbeing hub which provides access to all of MAGPAS’s Wellbeing benefits (including the Employee Assistance Programme, occupational health resources and sign posting on topics and how to access the charity’s four Mental Health First Aiders).

The MAGPAS Air Ambulance wellbeing champions are all fully trained in mental health first aid, the team meet quarterly to plan wellbeing initiatives tying in with awareness days and weeks and carry out team surveys to engage with all staff to help shape the services on offer.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion accreditations

In 2021-22, to demonstrate our commitment to EDI, MAGPAS Air Ambulance was successfully accredited with the following:

New Air Base and HQ

The charity needs to relocate due to the sale of the land at its current airbase at 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 operations base, headquarters and training centre. Construction on the new airbase started in 2022

MAGPAS Air Ambulance expects to complete the new airbase by June 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. This Future 50 Appeal was launched in the Autumn of 2021, in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal.

The total cost of the project is around £7.5m. 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.

Risk Management and Business Continuity

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 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 can 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:

  1. inadequate funding to run the service as demand grows and deliver new airbase

  2. the loss of helicopter and operating base

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

To mitigate these risks,

  1. 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. Donations and Bank loans have been secured to complete the base build

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

  1. 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. New airbase at Alconbury with the land owned by the charity is under development, completion due June 2023

  2. The Workforce and 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. The Executive have a 5-year workforce plan to ensure high level of retention and training across the organisation

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.

General information

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGPAS

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of MAGPAS Air Ambulance (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2022 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:

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.

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGPAS

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:

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:

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.

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

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGPAS

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:

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

MAGPAS Air Ambulance – Annual Report 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGPAS

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 2022

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

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.

Removing ringfenced funds, the charity has operated a deficit budget in 2021/22. To do this the Charity worked with a Trustee approved plan to invest surplus funds generated in pandemic years, when the charity was unable to fundraise to its full potential. Investing these funds into income generation initiatives in 2021/22 allows the charity to resume a surplus/breakeven revenue budget from 2023 onwards.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 (Continued)

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022(Continued)

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:

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

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 (2021: none).

23. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Dr Anne Booth was reimbursed to provide clinical supervision to PHEM trainees. Payments were made in line with the MAGPAS constitution which also states that one third of Trustees must be medical practitioners. Trustees believe this gives the board direct insight into clinical provision and tests both operating policies and procedures which get regularly reported back to the board by clinical Trustees.

During the year no Trustees received reimbursement of expenses (2021: £nil) in relation to training.

Legal services totalling £27,835 (2021: £11,178) were discounted from Leeds Day, a firm of solicitors in which Christopher Dodd, a trustee of MAGPAS, is also a partner.

There are no other related party transactions.

Structure, Management and Governance

Constitution

Method of appointment or election of trustees

The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co‑opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

As an Incorporated Charity, MAGPAS operates under its Memorandum and Articles of Association which were updated and approved by special resolution during the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on the 18[th] December 2019.

The articles set out the formal structure and organisation of the Charity, how it manages its affairs and how it will comply with Charity law and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as a Company limited by guarantee.

The MAGPAS constitutional documents set out details of the formal membership. Full membership of the charity shall be open to:

Under the rules laid out members will annually elect (with exceptions as noted) an Executive Committee of Directors, who are also Trustees, to serve as the administering body of the Charity. This Executive Committee comprises: All Trustees of MAGPAS.

Trustees are appointed for a fixed term, up to 1/3rd will retire according to longevity of service, but they may offer themselves up for re-election.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

Trustees undergo an orientation session to brief them on: their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision‑making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external and internal training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Trustees complete an annual Directors Declaration and sign acceptance of the MAGPAS Charity Directors Policy and code of conduct.

Meet the MAGPAS Trustees

Trustees from left to right

John Bridge OBE DL (Chair), Dr Alec Ostler, Hugh Parnell, Dr Anne Booth, Tom Bennet, Bill Hughes CBE, Kate Lancaster, Mark Broadbent, Dr Peter Holden, Geoff Davies

The Clinical Governance Committee, which is led by the Charity’s Medical Director, concentrates on the management and direction of the Charity’s clinical activities. The Committee manages all processes to ensure quality and safety within the Charity’s clinical services. The Clinical Governance Committee along with the Care Quality Commission Lead and Registered Manager are responsible for the Charity’s on-going Care Quality Commission registration. The Clinical Governance Committee produces monthly Governance Reports which detail and monitor clinical and operational activity for a given month. These reports are shared with all NHS partners.

The Executive Leadership Team, which is led by the Charity’s Chief Executive Officer, concentrates on the day-to-day management of the Charity, its finances and regulation via the Gambling Commission, Fundraising Standards Authority, Association of Air Ambulances and Charity Commission. Two appointed Trustees and the Clinical Directorate are invited to attend the monthly meetings. The Committee produces a monthly report which is submitted to the Trustees of the Charity for scrutiny.

Meet the Executive Team

The Charity Trustees operate a Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee, an Audit and Risk Committee and a Workforce and Remuneration Committee each committee has Terms of Reference and meets regularly through the year. The Workforce and remuneration committee review overall staff performance against KPI’s and annually reviews staff salaries. The CEO attends all committees and produces information as required by the committee.

The Charity Audit and Risk Committee meets twice per year. The committee recommends appointment of external auditors, reviews audit reports and annual budgets for the Charity.
