The charity Is governed by its conslllullon dated 7 Augy,s,12P1. Objectlves and actlvities The object of Ihe charity is: To relieve sickness and protecl publlc health by the provlslon of transporl for urgenlly needed blood, drugs, human tissues and olher medical requirements between hospitals, blood transfusion banks and other healthcare facilities. To support human life by providing a free of charge transportalion service lo our local NHS and to other organisations wilh objeclives similar to ours.
BLOODRUN EVS Trustees. Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Achievements and perfomiance Since the period of 22123 the charity has seen a decrease in the demand on our service. Where possible we have continued lo deliver a 24-hour Servi for both North and South Tees Trusts. The decrease in the workload this year is primarily due lo re*valuating the tasks we were undertaking to ensure our resources, both monetary and man hours, we're used effectively and achieving our core mission. Our reliability on providing consistent cover has seen some problems the past 12 months. With rota shifts going empty and no transport links being available to our clients. As we approach the end of this year, we have been pushing our recruitrnent process forward to try and have more volunteers available to give us a more resilient plafform of volunteers and hopefully achieve a more reliable level of cover. This has meant re-evalualing our recruitment process, finding the bottlenecks and re-ordering some steps to make it a quicker process while maintaining a level of structure. I'm confident Ihese changes will grow our volunteer base over the next few months. Our fundraising events have continued through the year including some new locations and events we haven't attended before, giving a greater diversity in the types and locations. Our visibility and awareness continue to grow in the south, but we still have work to do with plans in place for future events. A lot of thanks to the volunteers in that area for raising our profile and getting us the events to attend. Since our last AGM we held our second public Christmas raffle. We received great support from local businesses and individuals for prizes and sale of tickets. Expectations were to sell 10,000 tickets (doubling the first year). However, we didn't make that goal and ended on £5,291. Still an increase from the previous year. This raffle is now a constant in our winter bank balance building. Many thanks to Ken for starting this idea In 2022. We've already started our Chrislmas raffle for this year and hopefully it can achieve the same or more than previous years to help top up the bank balance. Our fleet replacement strategy is still going strong and is ahead of the original schedule, with the aim to replace a bike and a car each year until each vehicle is replaced with a new, reliable replacement. Our separate vehicle fund has helped us to forecast and monitor our fundraising towards vehicle replacements while ensuring our main, running cost account is easy to monitor and keep healthy. The relationship with SG Petch is sts'll strong with great discounts on purchases and the loan of a current loniq S Electric Vehicle, helping to reduce our running costs. We have also purchased a second brand-new car, another Hybrid Kona through SG Petch with some huge savings on retail price. This takes our 4-wheel replacement count to 2, both with identical vehicles which are fit for purpose and lower runnlng costs. Our sL3bility as a group has remained relatively good. Our shift coverage was 89.8 %, down from the previous year of 95.4. We responded to 3,235 calls, 28 % of those being on an ad~hoc basls. This is a decrease in total calls of 240/0. We've had 30 rlders and 36 drlvers over Ihe last 12 months provlde our servlce on both scheduled rotas and ad-hoc calls. 811 shifls we're covered, translating to over 9,000 volunteer hours for shifts alone.
BLOODRUN EVS Trustees, Annual Report (continuad) Year ended 31 March 2024 Through most of this year, we have been working against a '3in3' system. Providing a mlnimum commitrnent for volunteers and allowing us lo forecast volunteer availability with expected workload. However, a change in shift pattems and shift lenglhs rendered this system redundant. Instead we are focusing on a 40 hour per quarter period, Inclusive of duty shifts, controller shlfts, events and ad-hoc availability. We hope this will enable volunteers to provide the commllment levels requlred to help Ihe charity provide it's lifesaving service. This year we have reviewed many of our processes and work and have made a pos5tive Impact In areas. The removal of scheduled daily runs costing more than £8,OOO/year is now handled In-house by the NHS trusts wilh better utslisation of their resources and saving our service funds and volunteer time. The Alliance scheduled runs have also had an in-depth review and been found to be dupllcating work with the local trusts, again saving us funds and volunteer time. We will need to constantly revlew each service we offer to ensure we are fulfilling our core misslon of preventlng sufferlng and providing earlier diagnosls without mission creep tsking over. The charity is wholly dependent on its dlgital systems more and more each year and Ihey have been resilient in the last 12 months. Providing very few problems while enabling duty controllers to take calls, volunteers to fill shifts. 2417 tracking of fleet vehicles, logging of vehicle checks and more. The next few months will see the rollout of our digital receipt system which will simplify the audit process while saving the group funds on receipt book printlng. This also provides real-time information g81hering from duty volunteers and quicker triage of any queries raised from our clients. Our public image has been improving year on year and our following is growing, allowing us lo reach more people for events, fundraislng and awareness. Our drive golng forward will focus on reachlng new sectors, both corporate and Individuals who can help support our group. We wouldn't be able to provide our life saving seryice without the group of dedlcated volunteers wa have, So, I'd like to thank them for thelr efforts over the past 12 months and hope our success Is drlver for contlnued commitment to the lrfe savlng service we provide to the Cleveland and North Yorkshlre 8roas. Publlc Banoflt As we are all aware, our continued operations have significant benefit to the communities that we serve. Combining this with saving money for the NHS we should all be very proud of our ongoing achievements and the difference that we are making to the lives of those around us, every day. When making operational decisions about the future activity of our charity, we always consider the benefit lo the public. We will publish a "Summary of main activities undertaken" along with the Annual Accounts and Retums to the Charity Commission. We will continue to consult with appropriate professionals, so we can continue to Improve upon our Charits'es Commission compliance and govemance matters during the coming year.

The following speclfic polldes are applied to particular categories of Income: income from donations or grants is recognised when the is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is estsblished. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised In the accounts when received rf the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there Is a contractual requlrement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and retumed If unspent, in whlch case It may be regarded as restricted.

BLOODRUN EVS Notes to the Financial Statements (contlnued) Year ended 31 March 2024 Accountlng pollcies (conunued) Tangible assets (conunued) An increase in the carTring amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairrnent that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised galns and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the ststement of financial activities. Depreciatlon Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over Ihe useful economic life of thal asset as follows: 5 % straight line 25 % reducing balance Motor vehicles Equipment Impairment of fixed assets A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reports.ng date, with the recoverable amounl being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset Is impaired accordlngly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reportlng date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estsmate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate Is made of the recoverable amount of Ihe cash- generaling unit to whlch the asset belongs. The CaSheneratIng unlt Is the smallest Idenllfiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from olher assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, Ihe goodwill acquired in a business combinalion is, from the acquisition date, allocaled to each of the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the comblnation, Irrespectlve of whether other assets or Ilablllties of the charity are assigned lo those units.
