OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity is to advance the health and safety of lives by:
-
providing defibrillators in as many public places as possible;
-
providing CPR and defibrillator training to all recipients of defibrillators; and
• advancing the education of the general public in all areas relating to sudden cardiac arrest, CPR and early defibrillation.
Delivering our aims
We work closely with local councils to ensure maximum participation with placements of defibrillators within schools. We have a close working relationship with the North East Ambulance Service who provide our training to placements. We now have more volunteers working in different areas of the North East to spread awareness.
The public benefit of our work is clear. 30 lives have already been saved by our defibrillators. We have a very active social media presence and share trusted information with the public regarding defibrillators and CPR. Hundreds more people in the North East are now confident to use a defibrillator and carry out CPR.
We use local celebrities to raise the profile of North East Hearts with Goals.
We network and work together with other likeminded charities.
We are working with several subsets of families who are working to improve their own areas with defibrillator placement. This ensures we can reach the heart of the communities we help.
We are developing a project called Heartsafe Homes which will allow us to work with local hospitals and help families who are in desperate need of a defibrillator for a child who is diagnosed or under investigation of a serious heart condition.

Focus
Our main focus has been the placement of defibrillators into public places. Defibrillators placed has exceeded our target and we aim for 500+. Some of these are public access defibrillators safeguarding communities.
We have arranged training for many communities and will continue to make the public more aware of the need to learn CPR.
We now have a qualified counsellor for those affected by cardiac issues.The mental health side of cardiac issues are rarely catered for with mainstream counselling services yet a diagnosis is lifechanging for many.
We will continue to build relationships and engage with local communities. Knowledge is crucial in getting teens and adults learning CPR.
We will forge new partnerships for maximum exposure.
Structure
The charity relies on volunteers. The majority of training is free via the North East Ambulance Service. We are working with community first responders to deliver awareness sessions.
Expenses for trustee travel/expenses etc. have been met.
All trustees are aware of the charities significance and how it is shaping the North East to become a heart safe region.
Funding
Principal funding comes from charitable donations from sponsored events etc and partnerships with local supermarkets. We will continue with our charitable annual ball. We will be looking for more grant funding in the next year.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the commission.
During the period, the charity managed to place even more defibrillator units and a list if locations where these were placed can be found on our website:

Trustees' Annual Report for the period ended 1 April 2022
The high points of the year included:
We were awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service. The equilvalent to an MBE.
More saves with our AEDs.
Our Annual Ball was an amazing success as always with over 350 people in attendance.
Working group for Heartsafe Homes is set up with parents of children attending Newcastles Freeman Hospital.
We have donated defibrillators to more families of children with heart conditions at risk of cardiac arrest. We have also loaned defibrillators to people awaiting results from heart screening where a sibling has died and condition may be genetic. This buys parents peace of mind but could also save a life. We are looking to expand this programme throughout the next year as there is a clear need for defibrillators within the home for at risk children.
We eventually got our trip to Buckingham Palace for the Queens Garden Party after our original visit was cancelled due to covid. Excellent recognition for the charity and its volunteers.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may
Results for the period
At 1 April 2022 the charity had unrestricted funds of £47,442 (2021 - £49,573). This meets the charities objective of having sufficient unrestricted fund to cover at least three months expenditure. The Trustees are working to maintain unrestricted funds.
The charity had no restricted funds as at 1 April 2022 (2021 - £NIL).

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
2023 will see our 10th year in operation. We have many fundraising activities planned.
Heartsafe Homes will launch with new materials, photography campaign, website etc.
We will continue to encourage our supporters to recommend us as their chosen charity within the workplace. We have already had some success with this over the last year with match funding etc. We will also apply for grants.
We will continue to encourage people to get involved in sponsored activities such as Great North Run, Coast to Coast bike rides, coffee mornings etc.
We will seek to become chosen charities with further major retailers in the hopes of raising more awareness and funds.
We will do our best to continue our activities supporting families during covid with counselling and defibrillator placement.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the period ended 1 April 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011.
Incoming resources
Donations and legacies are accounted for when received by the Charity. Other income is accounted for on an accruals basis as far as it is prudent to do so. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Interest income
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
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.
Resources expended
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £2,500. They are valued at cost. The deprecition rates and methods used are:
| Plant and machinery | 10% reducing balance basis |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicle | 20% reducing balance basis |
Stocks
Stocks represent defibrillators which are yet to be placed or which are currently on loan to families with children at risk of cardiac arrest. Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Taxation
As a registered charity the Association benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
