Our Charity is led by the Board of Trustees and the day-to-day f unction of the Charity is led by the Chairman and Hon. Secretary with the Hon. Treasurer and Clinical Director providing input as required in their respective area of responsibility. Our Charity works in partnership with the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trusts with whom all responding Immediate Care Practitioners have an honorary contract. The Scheme provides an overarching clinical governance structure under which all responder5 operate. The Chair or nominated representative 51ts on the Trust third party governance Committee. Members of the scheme take part in the Trust monthly Critical Care Clinical Governance days. This is essential so as the latest developments in the field are disseminated and learning occurs across all third part organisations providing pre-hospital advanced care. The Scheme has received no complaints during the year and manages its risks through the Trustee5. The current risk register has no identified risks for its area of operation.
BASICS Essex Objectives (Public Benefit of the Charity) The charities objects are: The relief of persons suffering injury or i15ness by the provision of Immediate Medical Care. To advance the study of Immediate Medical Care by the provision of training. Both of these objects are directly for public benefit. Our Charity meets these objects through supporting the funding of training of its members in Immediate Medical Care and through providing equipment for them to deliver prehospital care and hence relieve suffering from injury and illness. At all time5 the functioning and operation of the Scheme. along with all Trustees. decisions on its dirertion and expenditure. is based on due regard for the Charity Commissions guidance on the public benefit. The Trustee5 are satisfied that the charity continues to act in the interest of public benefit. Summary of2021 Despite the restrictions seen across the Untted Kingdom in 2020 and 2021 the charity continued to have an excellent year. We were delighted to be nominated for the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service and whilst not being successful we received positive feedback and notification that the decision had been made at national level rather than within the county. We cannot be nominated again for a period of three years but the Chairman and Community Fund Raising Officer attended a reception at Chelmsford Cathedral in September at which all of the other Essex nominated charities were invited to attend. Covid and its continuation continued to create pressure on our ability to raise our profile and raise funds. Several events did not occur for a second year and income, especially for unrestricted (general) funds. was down on the previous year. Income from Trusts and Funds continue to be positive however community fundraising was challenging. not assisted by the changes in numbers of runners in the London Marathon as a result of the pandemic. We were honoured to host the High Sheriff of Essex fora visit to see the Scheme's car and to learn about what we do. The High Sheriff spent over an hour with u5 and it was agreed we would do a more fomal event in April 2022. In Novemberthe Scheme took deliveryofa new Enhanced Care Car. Generously donated and leased from Smarter Meter SeNices, the car 15 one of a number that had generously been donated tothe national organisation bythe CEO of Smarter Meter Service5 Tom Ward. The donation of the car allowed us to sell the XC70 vehicle. The new car. based on the XC60 has allowed us to continue to provide our team response. The car was quickly out on shift and covered a large number of calls in its first shifts of operational duty. The scheme was able to recommence fund raising activities towards the end of the year and both Tesco and Morrisons in Maldon supported us by undertaking a collection.
During the year the Scheme started its own lottery. The lottery raises a modest amount of income per year but does sUPPOrt our day-to-day activity- The vi51t of the High Sherriff of Essex to the scheme K021 M¥ The initial handover of the new car donated by Smarter Meter Services CEO Tom Ward.
Mald Y TICKET BASICS TO VE LIVES Collectlng at Morrisons in Maldon. Our Achievements of 2021 We updated and rebranded the Scheme's Enhanced Care Car to bring it in line with the new charity image. We made all of our responders operational clearing our waiting list. We obtained suitable CRM software to support our fundraising activity which has made the process more eff icient. We increased the number of operational shifts. We supported autonomous responders to increase their availability and the number of calls they attend. We updated our responders PPE through high visibility jackets and helmets. We ordered three more X series Zoll advanced patient monitors. We updated scheme memberfs shirts and jackets to support our new1080 and branding. We improved our data capture of calls attended through the implementation of a new database which has enabled us to capture additional important information allowing us to be more proartive in raising public awareness and more f lexible in sharing information internally and also that required by our partners. We have seen an increase in doctors wanting to join us and become responders. During 2022 seven doctors commenced the process wf(h us. Clinical Actlvity The Charity was activated 116 times during 2021. This number was marginally up on the previous year1114 calls for 20201.
The Scheme responded to 62 trauma calls and 59 medical calls. The biggest cause of the tralsma incidents was road traffic crashe5 while the greatest number of medical incidents was cardiac arrests. The Scheme currently has nine autonomous and twelve additional responders who respond as part of our enhanced care team. With busy lives and professional activity we have seen a decrease in the number ofvolunteer hours our members have been able to commit to. Work is ongoing within the scheme support the delivery of more hours. Generous Donators During the year of 2021 the Scheme benefited from donations from several sources. Their generou5 SUPPOrt of our charity enables us to continue to function and save lives. Below are the organisations who have generously supported us- Smarter Meter Services British Association for Immediate Care via a HELP appeal grant. Colchester Catalyst Trust Essex Freemasons Community Fund Charles S French Charitable Trust Black Notley Parish Council Groundworkstresco Essex Community Foundation The Albert Hunt Trust The Lord Belstead Charitable Trust Loughton Parish Council Financial Revlew Our charity saw an income of £93.295 in the year to 31 December 2021 which was a decrease of £8,055 in 2020. Despite the continual challenges of the pandemic our fund raising team of Lisa and Christine generated significant income which was helpful in what could have been another bleak year. Of the £93.295 of income generated £50,619 was to restricted funds. Our challenge is to improve our unrestricted income so that we can continue to operate as a successful charity in the years ahead. The Charity's expenditure for 2021 was £107.076 which was an increase on 2020 of £25,179. Our net assets decreased in the year to £235.452 down from £249,233 at December 2020. This decrease included a review of f ixed assets where we considered the value of each item and reduced items accordingly. The Trustees are pleased that the Charity remains in a good financial position at the balance sheet date.
Reserves Policy The Scheme currently has £235.452 in net assets with £155.023 of cash/bank balance. The available reserves are £73,702 12021: 93.9441. This is good position. Given the continual challenges of the pandemic in 2021 there is a need to ensure the Charity has reserves to meet its requirements to funrtion. To this end the Trustees are satisfied that it will maintain the current picture to manage the potential risks to income during 2022 due to the pandemic. As a Charity the Scheme is required to ensure that it does not have excessive amounts of reserves and that its money 15 used to further the objects. Below is the extract from the Charity's financial policy which is its Standing Financial Instructions. The Charity must ensure that it uses its financial reserves to further its objects. The charity must not keep large reseNes as this could affect future income from other sources as they would want to see the charity use the money to further its objects appropriately. There is a need to ensurethat the Charity has some reserves of moneyto continueto function should no income be forthcoming for whatever reason. Whilst the charity currently has a regular income this should not be relied on and proper budget production. monitoring and planning should be in place to minimise risk. The Charity will always maintain a reserve to meet its running costs for 12 months. This will be now £60.000. Risks Policy The Trustees oversee the management of risks. Risks are identified through a number of ways and can be divided into clinical and charitable risks. Clinical risks are raised through a partnership relationship with the arnbulance trust where the Trust Datix system is used to record any clinical risks that occur. Charitable risks are raised through the membership to Trustees who will oversee identification and management of risks. Work is ongoing to review the risk register ensuring it is up to date. The Trustees have reviewed the risks that are currently afferting the charity and are content that appropriate controls and mitigation5 are in place. Paul Gates Chair BASICS Essex July 2022

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
