Annual Report for Year Ending 15 March 2023
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
As in 2021/22, the charity focussed on maintaining existing CPADs (both our own and those which are maintained by ourselves on behalf of other owners), rather than fundraising or trying to increase the numbers of CPADs (although with the support of local business association in Stokesley did manage to install one new unit at the Stokesley Showground. The trustees continued to respond to requests for support, assistance and guidance from individuals and groups seeking to install CPADs.
The new national defibrillator database “The Circuit” is now well established, and the charity has registered all of its defibrillators on it, and supported some of the other owners to get theirs registered. It is expected that in late 2023 or 2024, the legacy YAS database will be fully decommissioned.
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 people who of their volition chose to donate to our charity or fundraise for us, often exploiting the power of online platforms such as Just Giving, and Facebook).
5. Future Plans
Registered Charity Number: 1179892
05-1-2023
Whilst there are no specific plans for the charity in 2023/24 and the trustees continue to have significant personal commitments, it is anticipated that the number of talks, demonstrations and awareness events will likely increase.
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:
-
£1,614 in donations
-
£450 from public or private organisations for supplying or maintaining defibrillators and / or consumables.
And spent:
-
£1,506 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
-
£2138 on equipment and expenses to maintain CPADs (of our own and as part of the maintenance service to others)
-
£186 on Insurances which are required to operate the charity
-
£20 on fundraising expenses (a local authority licence permitting fundraising via raffles, lotteries etc)
Leaving :
- £15,918 cash in the bank
Despite the very low levels of activity, less than 5% of the total expenditure was on expenses with the remainder invested directly on public access defibrillators or their maintenance.
