The Ambulance Staff Charity
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023
Chair's Introduction to the Annual Report and Accounts
As the acting Chair ofTASC and I would like to say a huge thank you to former Chair.
Diane Scott. for guiding the charity to this point and for her supporL
Ambulance staff are astonishingly resilient but unsurprisingLy. ongoing challenges are
causing more frontline and support staff to contact The Ambulance Staff Charity ITASCI
to access support for their own mental health and weLibeing.
To address this challenge. TASC has continued to provide access to high-quality support
and expanded our range of self-help guides and support tools. Our Ambulance Staff
Crisis Line, which provides 24/7 SUPPOrt to ambulance staff experiencing a crisis. has
completed its first full year The service has been developed in conjunction with the
Association ofAmbulance Chief Executives and with funding provided by NHS England.
Callers are assessed and immediately offered intensive support. which transitions into
ongoing assistance for those who need it.
Following this initiative. TASC Launched a trading company, TASC Wellbeing Ltd, whose
purpose 15 to expand the work we can do. In recognition of TASC'S unique approach to
supporting staff. TASC are now providing a crisis line for the Fire Fighters Charity and a
proof-of-concept 24/7 crisis line service to Ihe North East region of the Police Force.
TASC'S Green Monday is our first annual flagship event. launched in April 2024 The
event aimed to shine a light on the Ambulance staff working within the controL rooms,
fleet and property maintenance and administration as well as those seNing on the
frontlines. who have devoted their Lj'ves to ensuring the safety ofothers. It was a day to
really support our Ambulance Staff. a day to unite. celebrate and uplift and, most
importantly. raise some money! Introducing a fundraising day for the team in green
enables TASC to continue providing our vital services to AmbuLance staff and offer the
same level of care and devotion that they have shown us.
As another way of reaching the ambulance community and public. to raise more
awareness of TASC. CEO Karl Demian has b￿n laking part in podcasts. covering
important topics such as sexual safety in the workpLace and neurodiversity.
At the end of April 2024. trust* Linda Millinchamp resigned as trustee. Linda Chaired the
Finance Committee and provided great support to the Charity. TASC have recently
gained three new trustees. Becky Hughes. Joey Evans and Tony Fossey, all of whom
have strong skills and experience. and are bringing new ideas and energy to the 8oard. I
would like to thank all the staff and the trustees whose hard work and dedication allows
us to support ambulance staff and their families.
Every year is special due to the efforts of the many people who support us both from
within the ambulance community and externally When you read the stories behind
these fundraising efforts. they truly are remarkabLe and deeply moving. I would like to
personally thank all of those who have donated and raised funds for TASC.. everyone at
the charity and the people we help are truLy gratefuL

Main Activitles
Mnntnl Wellbeinq
Support is offered to Ambulance staff who contact TASC'S helpline and through a 24/7
Crisis phoneline. funded and supported by the Association of Ambulance Chief
Executives IAACEI The aim of the crisis phoneline is to particularly support those whose
mental wellbeing is so low that Ihey are considering suicide. After the initial call.
intensive support is offered which will then transition into ongoing counselling if
appropriate. This has received wide-spread support across NHS Ambutance Trusts as
we work together to provide an independent and confidential service for ambular)ce
staff in crisis.
Through TASC'S trading subsidiary. TASC Weiibeing Ltd. a 24/7 crisis phoneline using
the same model of intensive SUPF)Ort after the inilial call has been Launched to the Fire
Fighters in November 2023. From May 2024 a pr¢)of-of-concept 24/7 crisis phoneline is
being launched for the Police.
AII TASC'S mental wellbeing support is confidential and independent from employers
We provide funding for support with qualified counsellors. who understand the needs of
ambulance staff. that is tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual. The
demand for the services continues to increa* and as a result now we have a smaLI
waiting list.
Support is also provided through the Rightsteps WelLbeing platform on our website
which allows ambulance staff to access the latesl information and advice for their minds,
body and behaviour, and through our range of self-guide and t¢)olkits.
Pl?y%icol Wellbèing
Throughout the year we have been able to provide some physical rehabilitation for
those who require a stay at a Ireatment centre. We are grateful to the support we
receive from PC David Rathbone's Blue Lamp Foundation which helps us provide
physical rehabilitation for those injured in the line of duty.
Financial Wellbeing
We provide financial advice. particularly support with benefits. We are currently
applying to the Financial Conduct Authority for a Licence to provide debt advice. Funding
for grants has now been expended and we are continuing to look for alternative sources
of funding.
Bereovement Support
If a member ofambuiance service staff dies in service. either suddenly or if they take
their own life. it can cause ripples throughout their station/hub. When this happens. we
offer colleagues the opportunity to speak to our in-house counsellor either collectively

or individually to help them process their feetings: as well as providing copies of our
Bereavement Grief and Loss booklet and online support modules.
Our Money Advisor can also work with the family of the deceased to ensure they claim
any bereavement benefits and allowances they are entitled to In addition to this our

We have continued to develop a range of products. materiaL and information. available
in both printed and digital formats that allow ambulance staff lo access TASC'S services
including the Crisis phoneline.
TASC'S presence in the news media has increased. by producing news articles and press
releases that publicise the support that we provide. plus case studies that help build
understanding of the issues facing the Ambulance Community.
Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty set out in Section 4 of the Charites Act 2011 to
have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. As explained
above. those who benefit from TASC services are the ambulance community and more
broadly the wider public who are supwrted by the arnbu￿nce community.
Volunteers
We have changed our volunleer prcgramme and are no longer recruiting new
volunteers to TASC. following discussions with our trust*s we created an altèrnative
role of TASC Local Champion. lo which active former volunteers were transferred. The
purpose of the TASC Local Champion is primarily to raise awareness of TASC and what
TASC can do to support colleagues. promoting us when possible. This is an important
role because if people do not know about TASC we cannot support them. As non-active
volunteers were not transferred to the Local Champion role, we saw a reduction in our
active Local Champions to 2612023: 76 Volunteers). We are extremely thankful for the
dedication of our Champions, most of whom work in the ambutance services. in
supporting TASC and their colleague&
Fundraising
Our fundraising activities are managed by our income generation team. drawing on the
expertise of externaL fundraising consultants for approaching trusts and grant-making
organisations. We do not contract out main fundraising to third parties. but we do have a
contract with a provider for clothing banks. The team maintain oversight of all third-party
suppliers and have written agreements where necessary with them under the Data
Protection Act 2018 and UK General Data Proteclion Regulation 2021 We are committed
to the highest standards in fundraising practice. We are regulated by the Fundraising
Regulator and abide by the Fundraising Code of Practice In 2024 we handled i
fundraising complaint12023.' 21 which was resolved. We do not undertake donor profiling
or seLI data to third parties at any time.

Reserves policy
After the initial substantial Department of Culture. Media and Sport IDCMSI grant funding
ceased, TASC has been rebuilding income streams to ensLJre a sustainabLe future. There
is a plan to gradually reduce the budgeted deficit allowing services to continue while
income Levels increase. At 31 March 2024 the reserves leveL shouLd cover the planned
deficit for 2024-25 IS73kl while no deficil is planned for 2025-26. The free reserve leveL
should always allow for an orderly cLosure of the charity. which is currently costed at £80k.
TASC'S free unrestricted reserves are below these agreed Levels. However. there is aLso
£122k availabLe as restricted income from the two endowment funds, which with the
agreement of DCMS are being merged from April 2024. This restricted income can be
used to fund wellbeing support which is the main activity of TASC. The trustees recognise
that further action may need to be taken to reduce the level of the deficit if income doesn't
increase as planned. The free reserves on 31 March 2024 were £71,76112023'. £240.7361.

operational areas of TASC in their work. Each committee has its own set of corporate risks to
monitor and manage on behalf of Ihe Board. We reguLarty review the structure of the committees
and their lerms of reference to ensure that they provide the appropriate level of scrutiny to

There is a scheme of delegation in place which sets out the roles. responsibilities and powers of
the Iruslees and the executives. The day lo day running of the Charity is delegated to the Chief
Executive Officer who is supported by Ihe unfemunerated Chair of the Board of Trustee5.
The recruitment of trustees is led by an audit of the skilts held by Ihe members of Lhe Board. who
are appointed by an open recruilment process using both search and advertisement as
appropriate. against an agreed person profile and job specification. Shortlisted candidates are
interviewed by the Chair and Vice Chair of the Board who make a recommendation to the Board.
The AGM of the Charity confirms all appointments New trustees undergo a formal induction

The Ambulance Staff Charity
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Ambulance
staff Charity
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation lo which the Charities
IAccounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to reFN)rt to you If, in our opinion..
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect
with the financial statemenis.. or
sufficient accounting records have ml been kepL' or
the financial statements are nol in agreement with Ihe accounting records and returns., or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Re5ponslblLities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statemenl of Trustees. ResF)onsibilities. the trustees are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a
true and fair view. and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material missiatement. whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and
parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable. matters related to
going Concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either interKI
lo liquidate the group or parent charity or to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative bul
to do so.
Our resF)onsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appoinled as auditors under Section 152 of the Charities Act zoii arKI report in
accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misslatemenl. whether due to fraud or error. and lo issue a Report of
the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted In accordance with ISAS IUKI will
always delect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial
stalemenls.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud, is
detailed below".
The audit prc£ess includes an assessmenl of the group's atvj charity's risk environment. through
enquiry of and discussion with management. including an assessment of any key laws and
regulations with which the group and charity must comply in the ordinary course of its business.
We have concluded that there are no such key Laws atKI regutations Ihat are particular to the
group and charily s activities.
Additionally, the overall risks of irregular transactions occurring are assessed following our
observations and confirmation of the design and implementation of management's controls.
Whilst we are mindful of these risks. our audit focus is geared towards the risk of malerial
misstatement in the financial statements as a whole.
As such, our Pr(￿edureS cannot guarantee that all transactions have been fully compliant with all
relevant laws and regulations, including Ihose regulations reialing to fraud. as our procedures are
not designed to detect all irbstances of non-compknance.
Nevertheless. nothing has come lo our altenlion that has given us significant cause for concern in
the course of the procedures we have undertaken in order lo give our opinion on whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement. as shown above.
A further descripb'on of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on
the Financial Reporting Council's websile at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresF)onsibililies. This
description forms part of our Rep)rt of the Independent Auditor&
