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

**Heritage assets** The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held  and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture.  The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. They are valued at cost. **Investments** Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost  and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.  The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments **Stocks and work in** Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net **progress** realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at **Debtors** settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and **Current asset** cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and **investments** cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. 

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

## **Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees** Charity Name Shropshire Staffordshire Cheshire Blood Bikes **On accounts for the year** 31 December 2024 **Charity no** 1156212 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 7 - 30 (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/12/2024. 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

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.
