Dear AED Hosts, Sponsors, Guardians, and Defib Angel Groups,

2021-22 Year End Report

Thank you again:

Thank you for continuing to be local lifesavers in your communities by supporting your Community Public Access Defibrillators (CPADS). Despite another strange and challenging year still shielding from Covid we have again with your help extended the CPAD network throughout Worcestershire. At the end of our financial year, 28[th] February, we had put out 111 CPADs and AEDs to date since starting five years ago. If the DefibSafe cabinet manufacturer hadn’t encountered difficulties and extended their delivery times to twelve weeks this would have been 114. The extra three will kick-start 2022-23. You are making a huge difference, thank you all.

Droitwich Community First Responders:

After some years absence we have now again got two CFRs in Droitwich, with more in the pipeline. We have donated two CU Medical iPAD SP-1 AEDs to them, and they have since been deployed and used on numerous occasions since December when they started their local scheme. They have recently acquired a response vehicle, and we will be putting the defibrillator in that for them as well. This may be deployed throughout Worcestershire.

Income and Expenditure:

Please find enclosed the Year End Income and Expenditure report to 28[th] February 2022 so you can see where your money has been spent. There was an erroneous receipt from one of the hosts of £594 which was refunded. True adjusted income without this was £23,814.93, expenditure £21,525.50. Expenditure on CPADs is reported as 8.6% down on the previous year. Had the units mentioned above arrived on time our spend would have been 8.5% up.

Similarly our cash in bank is reported as being 23.3% up. Had the above units arrived and been paid for it would have been 10.5% down. Expenditure on CPADs and Maintenance totalled £20,802.69. This was 96.6% of our total adjusted expenditure. Most of the rest of the expenditure was Stationery, Travel and Insurance. Everyone involved with the charity is a volunteer, there was no expenditure for salaries. Similarly, the office is run from my home so there were no charges for overheads: rent, heating, lighting, etc.

Fundraising:

We again did not actively fundraise in the year because of adequate funds on hand and donations from our Hosts and Sponsors.

AED Guardians:

My thanks again to all our team of guardians who have continued checking their CPADS are rescue ready throughout the year. Having yet again been shielding most of the year your help has been invaluable.

N.B. If you have location services on your smart phone – Download the free “Crowdsav” App. In case of emergency it will tell you the nearest location of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171993

AED Consumable Replacement Scheme:

Electrode pads have approximately a two-year life, batteries approximately four years. Depending on the make and model, even if not used, it costs roughly between £300 and £400 to replace these on a four-year cycle; £75 to £100 a year. This year, because of adequate funds on hand, we only asked hosts and sponsors for a £25 donation towards this cost. Most of you have kindly made this donation, thank you. Regrettably those who have not contributed this year will be dropped from the scheme next year, and will have to make their own arrangements for future pads and battery replacements.

AED and CPAD Ownership :

Can I remind hosts that, whilst obviously the de facto owners are West Midlands Ambulance Service, all of the AEDS and CPADs are gifted to the you. N.B. If you have opted out of the above Consumable Replacement Scheme and you do not accept ownership and responsibility for your AED and or CPAD please let us know and we will arrange for it to be collected and redeployed elsewhere. We currently have ten “Orphan” CPADs that are not supported by their hosts. This is obviously not sustainable long term, and it is our aim to at least half this figure this year, and eliminate them over two years.

FREE Defibrillator :

Whilst funds are available we are continuing this for 2022-23, I have again enclosed an A4 sign if you know of a community group in Worcestershire that is trying to source a CPAD please forward it to them.

And Finally:

My personal thanks again to you all for your support, to my fellow trustees, and to Mrs Gina Pilley who kindly does our bookkeeping for us. You are all lifesavers.

Best wishes and stay safe.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Richards Chair of Trustees
