and works alongside neighbouring blood bike groups to provide transportation of urgently-needed blood, drugs, human tissue, donated breast milk and any other urgent medical supplies to NHS hospitals & related organisations, primarily across the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Blood bike groups exist across the UK and co-operate, via relays, to undertake long distance movements nationally. Services are set up locally with the relevant hospital trusts or related organisations and documented through Service Level Agreements (SLA). Regular reviews are held with NHS management to ensure services are maintained within the SLA and amendments or new services are formally agreed. SSCBB are privileged to have the continuing support and patronage of the Anna Turner JP, Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire and Ian Dudson CBE KStJ , Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire.

Risk Management Considerations The amount and type of risk that the charity is willing to take in order to meet its objectives is determined and monitored by the Trustees. Trustees take a risk-based approach to underpin decision-making about the kind of opportunities taken by the charity as well as how it operates and interacts with the public. To support growth and operational complexity, SSCBB continues to review and develop systems and processes.

Section C Objectives and activities

Our Objective as set out in the Constitution: “To relieve sickness and to preserve the health of the patients primarily, but not exclusively, in the Shropshire and Staffordshire area, by providing free transport services of urgently required blood products, human samples, breast milk, patient notes and medical equipment, not normally provided by the statutory authorities or NHS Trusts, that would normally be paid for by the said Trusts, allowing essential funds to be diverted back into patient care.” Summary of the objects of the SSCBB operate to ensure flexible & secure transport, using a 100% charity set out in its volunteer-supported team. governing document

In some cases, the flexibility and zero charge of the service has facilitated treatment regimes that may otherwise not have taken place and in this way the charity adds incremental value to that which the NHS already delivers and directly benefits local communities.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Following trials over the Winter of 2023_24 we proved the need and efficacy of a 4-wheeled vehicle, to ensure continuity of service when weather conditions would be unsafe for riding motorbikes. The first car entered service mid year, followed by a further 3 later in the year, allowing one to be based in each of our four operational areas (Shropshire, Cheshire, North & East Staffordshire).

The trustees continued to be proud of the way members continue to operate and function. This ensured we could consistently provide continuity of service.

Fleet maintenance was kept to its usual high standard.

The continued dedication of our volunteers ensured our 24-hour cover remained, as well as all of the vital background services, and continued engagement with customers and supporters.

In common with other charities fundraising is key to providing a 100% free-charge service. We are especially grateful to loyal supporters who continued to contribute in 2024 and to new donors who have been inspired by the service we provide.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:  the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Donated services and facilities In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Volunteer help Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. They are valued at cost. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.		Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
