Report from Chief Executive for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
It has been another very busy year for the PFOA. My thanks as always go to our incredible, hardworking and loyal team. Cheryl, Hannah, Rachel, Claire, Gary, Helen and of course Mick our Ops Manager. They have worked tirelessly to provide a first-class service to our members and their families.
We are still all playing catch up after the Covid pandemic. Whilst we were able to provide the support required for members the Museum has suffered in the fall out. It was a decision not taken lightly to suspend the Museum until we were well out of Covid and we were ready to receive visitors. The good news is that 2023 will see an expansion of the Museum and our doors opening once again.
My thanks go to our Trustees. We welcomed three new Trustees in the past year. Angelo from GMP, Claire from MDP and Carol-Anne from Police Scotland. Our Chair of Trustees, Steve Hartshorn became the new Chair of the Police Federation of England & Wales, which is an amazing achievement.
Our members continue to deliver an outstanding service to the public they protect. Some in the past 12 months have taken the most difficult decision there is in engaging a subject. To them, and all of those amazing men and women, we give our heartfelt thanks. We are honoured to support you and to look after your families.
Mark Williams CEO
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
The PFOA is now in its 13th year! Over that time, we have assisted literally thousands of officers and their families. We have spent over £3m in direct support. We have created unique support strands to keep officers at work and return them sooner than expected. We have a hard-working and dedicated team who continue to deliver a first-class service year in, year out.
In these unprecedented times we have proved as a team that we are fit for purpose and for the challenges ahead. We are delighted to report that all is well and that we continue to evolve and explore different ways to support our amazing members and their families.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Communication and Awareness
The PFOA social media profile consists of LinkedIn, Instagram and a closed private PFOA FB group (532 members)
The PFOA Twitter account has recently been removed due to a troll tagging us in their views.
The Museum of Armed Policing remains active on Twitter, although Tweets have been limited due to proposals to extend HQ and the Museum.
Our Blogs are shared across Police Open FB Groups, LinkedIn and Instagram. LinkedIn is proving a successful platform for the PFOA over the past 12 Months.
We have had a successful Social Media Campaign - supporting one of our members, who is from Ukraine, asking for first aid equipment to be donated.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
PFOA Shop
Sales of merchandise have remained consistent throughout the year and have increased slightly in the second half. This is mainly due to increased marketing via social media.
The PFOA shop has recently collaborated with Frontline Tactical Apparel to supply PFOA T-Shirts. The Shop website has a direct link to PFOA T-shirts on the partner website. The Partnership allows us to not hold large amounts of stock or process orders, which benefits us. A set contribution is given to the PFOA on the sale of each shirt.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Overview
-
❖ The charity has received £90k more income than last year. This is primarily due to a full year of welfare work being carried out for Nottinghamshire Police, the return of the fundraising ball and the resulting increase in Gift Aid available.
-
❖ Governance and support costs have returned to pre-COVID levels and there has been some investment in property maintenance and training.
-
❖ During the year, the Museum of Policing cost approximately £20k, primarily being maintenance and a proportion of overheads, such as rent and insurance.
-
❖ The cost of our amazing team has increased, but with the increased volume of charitable activities and the pressures on the general cost of living, this is to be expected. With severe labour shortages in our area and higher than normal inflation, we cannot afford to disturb the team we have as they are our greatest asset.
-
❖ Charitable expenditure has increased to almost £496k, with £136k more funds allocated to directly supporting members than in the previous year. This represents a 246% increase on the 2017/18 year and indicates that there is a significant need for our assistance. Fortunately, over the past 5 years we have built the reserves to deliver this substantial support.
-
❖ Overall, the financial year has produced a deficit of c£85k. This may sound like bad news, but as the resources have been used to directly benefit the members when they needed them, this should not be of concern. Free (unrestricted and undesignated) reserves still exceed £200k, which I am sure with difficult times ahead for a lot of members, will be useful.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Having reserves is essential to ensure we have adequate resources to deal with the unpredictable nature of our work. Total reserves currently sit at £318,537 [2021: £405,462] with the following funds ring-fenced:
-
Contingency for Terrorist attacks involving PFOA members - £25,000
-
Advancement of Education (including Museum of Armed Policing film project) - £45,000
-
Upskilling of Staff - £10,000
The terrorist attack budget is not something we want to use for obvious reasons, but nevertheless it is important to ensure immediate funds are there if/when required. The Museum project involves the making of a film based on the London Bridge terrorist attack in 2017 involving PFOA members. This is hugely important to raise awareness of the amazing work carried out by firearms officers daily, but to also document and produce a legacy for all those involved on that fateful night. Staff training in the next 12 months involves two CPD events and mental health first aid training for new members of the PFOA Team.
Free Reserves
Funds free of restriction or designation and therefore available for core activities as at 30th June 2022 were £193,172 [2021: £272,488]
Going concern
If the charity's income was to cease with immediate effect, the charity could continue its good work for approximately 6 months, which is exactly in line with the Charity Commission guidance.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
FUTURE PLANS
We have recently discussed whether we should purchase Chatteris Police Station. The Cambridgeshire PCC has agreed to sell the property to us. We have also been granted planning permission to extend above the museum. Unfortunately, this has all come at a time when interest rates are going up and building costs have more than doubled. We are considering the options and will decide in due course. It would be good to freshen up the museum and introduce some new technology, one being a state-of-the-art virtual reality firearms range. But for the time being the plan for the next 12 months is to support our members and their families, particularly with the added pressure from the huge increases in the cost of living imposed on us all. This in turn causes stress and anxiety. In an already hugely stressful role, outside pressures can tip some over the edge. We will be introducing a new phone support line in January 2023 which will provide on-demand counselling. This phone line will also incorporate a 24/7 GP line, debt advice and family legal advice.
We will be raising the monthly donation from £4 to £5 in January 2023. It has remained at £4 since 2009. Of course, in that time costs of just about everything have gone up, counselling, respite breaks, NLP Coaching, rent, fuel costs, wages, the list goes on. This increase will allow us to sustain the support we provide and improve in some cases. This increase has been communicated via our social media, magazine and force co-ordinators.
Over the next 12 months we will be organising meetings with our force co-ordinators and ensuring they are equipped to perform their role which is vital to the running of the charity. We will also be actively engaging with Taser officers, who now number in their thousands nationally.
We will be introducing new zones in the Museum of Armed Policing dedicated to the RUC/PSNI and women in armed policing. The Museum is an incredibly powerful way of interacting with people of all ages around all aspects of UK armed policing.
In summary, we look forward to another successful year, conscious that many of our members and their families will be feeling the effects of a steep increase in the cost of living, and the ever-increasing pressures that modern day policing brings.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Organisational structure
The PFOA currently has seven Trustees [2021: six] chaired by Steve Hartshorn. The Trustees meet four times per year including the annual general meeting. During the Trustee meetings the CEO will give an overview of how the Charity is operating, including staffing and finances. Of course, our primary goal is to provide support to members and their families so there is much discussion around what we provide and what else we can do to assist.
Previously, a Trustee could serve an indefinite term. However, in January 2022 this was changed to a fixed term of five years. We do realise that Trustees for various reasons may not be able to fulfil their role and will resign. If this is the case a process of discussion between the other Trustees in conjunction with the CEO will take place to appoint a replacement. We are keen to ensure that we have female representation on the board of Trustees following the resignation of Sarah-Jane Ferris and have plans to recruit another female Trustee in the next year.
The charity's operations are led by Mark Williams, Chief Executive who reports directly to the board on a frequent basis.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Decision making
When the board meets there are occasions when key decisions must be made. This could be around expenditure or making a policy on certain aspects of support. Because our Trustees have a thorough understanding of policing this helps to ensure a prompt decision is made. Our current Trustees experience include:
-
✓ Inspector within Armed Policing
-
✓ Federation lead for Armed Policing and Taser
-
✓ CTSFO
-
✓ Solicitor
-
✓ Welfare lead
-
✓ Retired Protection officer

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCCA, ACA, DChA which is one of the listed bodies.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
