Annual Report for Year Ending 15 March 2021
1. Aims & Objectives
We aim to save lives by improving the probability of surviving a cardiac arrest in and around Northallerton. We will achieve this by:
-
(i) Significantly increasing the number of community public access defibrillators (CPADs);
-
(ii) Helping to ensure CPADs are kept well maintained and ready for use;
-
(iii) Raising awareness of CPADs, their locations and their use in an emergency;
-
(iv) Raising awareness of the chain of survival and use of CPR and defibrillation.
2. Organisation
The trustees, who take full responsibility for the activities and operation of the charity are:
Rod Winter – Chair; Andy Proud; Karen Fewell
The charity is run by these three trustees, who carry out their duties in their “spare time” alongside their full time jobs, with support from a number of volunteers who assist with equipment maintenance, publicity and awareness, fundraising and events.
3. Achievements & Performance in the year
Primarily due to the Coronavirus pandemic the trustees took a conscious decision not to proactively undertake fundraising or other new activities during the year and focus instead on maintaining the existing CPADs already installed (both our own and those which are maintained by ourselves on behalf of other owners), and responding where required to requests fr support, assistance and guidance from individuals and groups seeking to install CPADs.
4. Thanks and Recognition
The trustees would again like to thank every individual and organisation that has supported the charity. It would be impossible to list everyone in this report, however we would particularly like to record the contributions of:
Chris Birks – who carries out weekly checks and annual maintenance visits on a large number of our CPADs.
Mike Morrison who has kindly agreed to conduct an informal examination of the accounts.
The landlords who have kindly agreed to have our defibrillators installed on their buildings.
The huge number of people who have arranged or helped run fundraising events (especially those exploiting the power of online platforms such as Just Giving, Virgin Money giving and Facebook); donated time, books, cakes etc; bought raffle tickets or made individual donations.
5. Future Plans
As uncertainty around the pandemic continues and due to some exceptional personal commitments of the trustees in the coming 12 months, the charity does not have any significant plans for the coming 12 months. We are however aware of the planned rollout of a new National Defibrillator Database and expect to be required to register all our CPADs on that within the next 12 months.
Registered Charity Number: 1179892

6. Financial Review
The accounts are on the basis of Receipts and Payments using the Charity Commission’s standard template and they are included in this document. This year, due to the modest income (less than £10,000), there is no requirement for any external examination, however Mike Morrison has kindly agreed to conduct an informal inspection without charge.
In summary however, the charity received:
-
£4,782 in donations
-
£150 from public or private organisations for supplying or maintaining defibrillators and / or consumables.
And spent:
-
£8,797 on Purchase & Installation Defibrillators and Cabinets which are now assets belonging to the Charity and are either installed for the benefit of the public or awaiting installation
-
£1748 on equipment and expenses to maintain CPADs (of our own and as part of the maintenance service to others)
-
£185 on Insurances which are required to operate the charity
-
£20 on fundraising expenses (a local authority licence permitting fundraising via raffles, lotteries etc)
Leaving :
- £14,216 cash in the bank
We proud to report that less than 3% of our expenditure has been spent on expenses with the remainder invested directly on public access defibrillators or being held as cash awaiting investment in defibrillators or their maintenance.
