TRUSTEES ’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees are delighted to present our annual report for the period April 2021 to March 2022.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the memorandum and articles of association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Structure, Governance & Management
Little Lifesavers was formed as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) on 14 September 2016. The charity ’ s trustees who served during 2021/22 were as follows:
Dr Barbara Stanley
Dr Thea Clare Morgan
Mr Greig St John Orrell (appointed 21 October 2020) Dr Anne Pinches (appointed 21 October 2020)
Dr Anna Finkelstein (appointed 21 October 2020)
New trustees may be recruited to the board at any time by the existing trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
The charity has volunteer hubs around the country, but all are managed by the administrative office which is operated remotely and overseen by the board of trustees. Day-to-day management of the charity is delegated to one part-time administrative staff member who manages the network of volunteers.
Public Benefit
The trustees have due regard to the charity commission guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities it carries out.
Principal Risks & Uncertainties
Trustees and staff carry out regular risk assessments that affect the operational delivery of our work and longer- t e r m sustainability of the service. The current principal risk to the ongoing viability of the charity is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in recruiting and retaining volunteers as well as the ability to deliver the training sessions in schools. This risk is imposed by both official regulations and the risk of infection as perceived by volunteers and school staff.
The charity has reduced its financial risk by leveraging funding from a variety of sources including volunteers, fundraising initiatives, and corporate partners when the opportunity arises.

Remuneration policy
Our part-time administrator is paid on a pro-rata basis and their salary reflects the market rate; this salary is reviewed periodically.
Objectives & Activities
The charity ’ s primary objective is to advance the education of school children in the United Kingdom (including Scotland) including but not exclusively to year 5 primary school in matters relating to the effective application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other life saving techniques.
Little Life Savers teaches children aged 9 – 13. Basic Life Saving Skills including but not limited to: Management of Child Choking, Management of Adult Choking, Child CPR, Adult CPR, the Recovery Position.
Training is provided free of charge to schools, and children are provided with training and an opportunity to practice these core skills as well as a certificate of attendance containing a summary of the skills discussed.
The primary contribution has been made by the voluntary trustees, as well as the volunteer instructors. In addition, staff, parents, and supporters have contributed their time and labor without charge. The charity would not be able to function without the 300+ volunteers, group coordinators and the employed administrator to run volunteers through the process and so volunteers can deliver the training in the schools throughout the UK.
Achievements and performance
– During the Year 01.04.21 31.03.22 the Charity delivered 8 training sessions UK wide and trained 410 children – an excellent restart after the Pandemic, which demonstrates both the ongoing need for our sessions and the effectiveness of the new framework put in place during the previous year.
We continue to work hard to refine the framework and process – streamlining it to increase accessibility to our tool.
The charity is growing in line with expectations, given the current UK-wide conditions
Financial Summary and Review
Total income: £ 13,198.53
Expenditure on charitable activities: £ 33,282.17
We will be able to continue to function at our current financial position with our current assets for another 24 months – our focus has been volunteering process and recruitment which has generated regular matched income to begin to cover recruitment cost (umbrella body DBS fee)
We have invested £15,761 in building the charity volunteering and session organisation framework and in necessary changes to charity structure (such as transition to home working (moving out of office and temporary storage) and other short-term costs – such as website rebuild and booking system outlay, validating the need for reserves.
5
Reserves Policy
The charity has put in place a reserves policy for two reasons:
1) We have no large corporate partner or regular donor or sponsor base to cover regular outgoings- making income sporadic and matched to fundraising events and
2) The planned expansion of volunteer numbers with equipment provision and necessary investment to achieve this is ahead of our fundraising income. We will therefore keep a minimum of 2 years of operating costs in reserve based on 2021-2022 figures (minus extraordinary costs e.g., storage fees and HR support)
Annual running costs estimated at £20,500 and provision for 10 new sets of manikins over 2 years at approximately £650 per set of 3 gives a 2 -year reserve of £47,356
Reserves held at 31 March 2022 were £58,455.36 (2 021 : £78,539 ) (2020: £ 76,138).

The trustees confirm that there is no requirement for an audit of the financial statements.
The trustees confirm that they have no reason to believe that the charity is not a going concern.
