The Ambulance Staff Charlty Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025 Chair's Introduction to the Annual Report and Accounts As the Chair of The Ambulance Staff Charity ITASCI I would b'ke to say a huge thank you to Vice Chair. Gordon Enslone. and former Chair. Diane Scott QAM. for guiding the charity to this point and for th￿r SUPForL AmbuLan¢e staff are astonishingly resilient but unsurprisingly, ongoing challenges contsnue to cause frontline and support staff to contact The Ambulance Staff Charity rrASCI to access support for their own mental health and wellbeing. 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 Ambutance Staff Crisis Line. which provides 24/7 support to ambulance staff experiencing a crisis, has completed its second full year. The service has been developed in conjunction with the Association of Ambulance 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. In recctyJnition of TASC'S unique approach to supporting staff, TASC are now also providing a crisis line for the Fire Fighters and the Police Forces through our trading company. TASC Wellbeing Ltd. The TASC Sexual Safety phoneline was launched in March 2025 to offer ambulance stsff and student paramedics a safe space to talk if they have experienced sexually inappropriate behaviours. for example.. Sexually inappropriate behaviour that is dismissed as banter. Sexual coercion or bullying Sexually inappropriato due to sexuality Staff provide a supportive, non-judgmental bstening ear to help the caller to take back control and understand what optK)ns are available for them. In summer 202s we launched the TASC Gratitude page on our website, a dedicated platform for the public to share thèir personal stories and interactions with the Ambulance Service and its staff. It wiu offer an opportunity for individuals to expross thoir appreciation to those who have cared for them. while also supporting the charity's ongoing work. The Gratitude page will serve as a central hub for acknowledging the vital contributions ofambulance staff, showcasing the impact of TASC'S efforts, and encouraging donations to help sustain and expand support for these essential workers. At the end of May 2025, Helen Pcole resigned as trustee. We are grateful for the great support Helen providod to tho Charity TASC will be actively rocruiting new Board members in 202S Every year is special due to the efforts of the many people who supFx)rt us both from within the ambulance c¢)mmunity and externally. When you read the stories behind these fundraising efforts, they truly are remarkable and deeply moving. I would like to rersonally thank all of those who have donated and raised funds for TASC. everyone at the charity and the people we help are truly grateful.

The Ambulance Staff Charity

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Ambulance Staff Charity Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of TASC The Ambulance Staff Charity

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Ambulance Staff Charity (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended:

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Trustees, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.
