## **Trustees’ Annual Report For the period 17 June 2022 – 16 June 2023** **Urgent Medicare International** **(Registered charity number 1163759)** ## **Reference and Administrative Information** Urgent Medicare International was founded in 2015 and was registered with the Charities Commission of England and Wales as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 29 September 2015. ## **Principal Office:** 104 Crosslands Stantonbury, Milton Keynes Mk14 6DD ## **The Trustees, Officers and Advisors:** Barr. Okwara M. Chibuike - Trustee Rev. Dr Innocent Ezeonyeasi - Trustee Prof Nkeiruka Oly-Alawuba – Trustee ## **Trustees’ Annual Report** Urgent Medicare International’s Board of Trustees (the trustees) presents the Trustees’ Annual Report for the period ending 16 June 2022. The report covers the period between 17 June 2021 until 16 June 2022. ## **Public Benefit** The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance by the Charity Commission in delivering the activities undertaken by the Charity. ## **Urgent Medicare International’s charitable objectives are:** 1. The relief of sickness and preservation of health for people residing permanently or temporarily in sub-Sahara Africa. 2. Treatment and care of persons suffering from mental and physical illnesses of any description. 3. Education of the public in all areas relating to transmissible diseases and general emergency healthcare. 4. Supporting research and data collation for the management and treatment of viruses and bacteria-based illnesses such as malaria, Typhoid fever, Covid 19, as well as other ailments such as diabetes, sickle cell & other clinical emergencies. 5. Provision of ambulance and emergency interventions for victims of heart attack, accidents, trauma and other emergency situations. 6. Networking with hospitals and medical professionals to encourage treatment of vulnerable and less privileged patients in emergency situations, especially where payment guarantees appear to be a barrier to treatment. ## **Trustee Chairman’s Introduction** It is another great privilege to continue to work on this humanitarian project designed to alleviate the physical and emotional sufferings of people in need, especially, for those who reside within the areas and communities that the organisation has undertaken to operate. To achieve this goal, we have taken every necessary step to restructure Urgent Medicare International to a form that would guarantee that the organisation possesses the requisite capacity to effectively achieve our organisational goals. ## **Charitable Objectives** Over the past few years, we have witnessed slow progress in the affairs of the organization having experienced draw backs from legal, administrative, and bureaucratic bottlenecks emanating from in-country registrations and authorisations that we require to operate in the countries and communities that we have set out to support. In line with our resolve to draw the best suited individuals to the trusteeship of the organisation, and ensure that the management of the organisation is entrusted in the hands of very capable, and regulatory conscious individuals who would steer the affairs of the organisation to success, the Board of Trustees has accepted the resignation of three members of the Board, while at the same time approved the appointment of Rev. Dr Innocent Ezeonyeasi who would be joining the Board with lots of experience within the health and socio-religious sectors. We are currently finalising the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer who would assume full executive responsibility to drive the affairs of the organization. We have further doubled efforts in the recruitment of volunteers and logistics for our operations in three of our designate locations. However, our schedule to resume operations and impact lives in Sao Tome, Nigeria and Cameroon within the first quarter of 2022 was again hampered by delays in registering the charity with the agencies of government in those countries, coupled with the sustained levels of insecurity in Sub Sahara Africa, more especially in Nigeria and Cameroon where we had planned to resume activities around the southernmost regions of these countries. Nevertheless, we still remain very optimistic as we network very closely with local agencies in these countries and look forward to resuming activities as soon as our team of volunteers are fully constituted. Okwara Michael Chibuike Chair, Board of Trustees Urgent Medicare International ## **Structure, Governance, and Management** ## **Governing Document** The charity is administered in accordance with a constitution for a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Urgent Medicare International is an international health charity registered with the Charity Commission from 29 September 2015. ## **Governing Body** ## **Structure and Organisational Management** Majority of the current CIO’s Board of Trustee members were first members of the CIO who were also signatories to the formation of the charity. Towards the end of the 2022 business year, the charity saw three resignations and one new appointment to the board. That has remained so since then, and the CIO is currently constituted of three Trustees. All Trustee Board members are expected to abide by a code of conduct, a code of ethics and a Trustee’s role specifications. They are also expected to act in accordance with the charitable objectives, principles and values of the CIO. Completion of a declaration of interests is also required annually. ## **Vision** To work towards a global society where basic healthcare and decent care for life is accessible to all devoid of any social or political barriers. ## **Mission** To devote the time and energy necessary to aid, support and educate the communities. ## **Review of Achievement and Performance for the 12-month period ending 16 June 2022.** During the twelve-month period in question, our trustees were only able to meet about six times over zoom from their various locations. At the meetings, we reviewed the post covid progress of the CIO, as well as deliberating on the best strategies to move the CIO forward and deliver our charitable objectives under the current climate. Considerations were also given to any short term, medium term and long-term management and financial outlook of the CIO. We also reviewed any outcomes from the 12 months Period Ending 16 June 2023. ## **Dated 3 September 2024** **Urgent Medicare International No (if any) Receipts and payments accountspts and payments accountsts and payments accountspayments accountsayments accountsyments accountsments accounts** **Receipts and payments accountspts and payments accountsts and payments accountspayments accountsayments accountsyments accountsments accounts CC16a For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 17-Jun-22 16-Jun-23 ## **Section A Receipts and payments** |**A1 Receipts**|**Unrestricted**
