## Annual Report for Year Ending 15 March 2025 ## 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 recent previous years, the charity focussed on maintaining existing CPADs (both our own and those which are maintained by ourselves on behalf of other owners), rather than trying to increase the numbers of CPADs. The trustees continued to respond to requests for support, assistance and guidance from individuals and groups seeking to install CPADs. There were, however, several fundraising activities. - A drive within the village of Exelby coordinated by a local resident to help cover the maintenance costs of the defib there on the village pub supported by an awareness talk given by the trustees. Once Gift Aid is taken into account, over £1100 was raised. - In lieu of presents for her “milestone birthday”, the owner of a local wedding and events business asked for donations to our charity and together with proceeds from a coffee morning she held at the venue, a total of almost £4000 was raised when all Gift Aid is included. The trustees decided to install a new public access defib at this venue accessible to guests at events, campers at the associated glamping pods, walkers on the nearby public footpaths and village residents. The venue business kindly took care of installation and will continue to monitor and check the defib. - Donations raised at Romanby Primary School Christmas Fete and elsewhere in return for having a personalised “bauble” displayed on a Christmas Tree at the Northallerton Christmas Tree Festival with our tree kindly sponsored by Digital Blonde Limited. This raised over £100. ## 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. Registered Charity Number: 1179892 02-1-2026 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, Amazon Smile, and Facebook). Registered Charity Number: 1179892 02-1-2026 ## 5. Future Plans Having lost access to the advantageous “trade pricing” for Cardiac Science Defibrillators, the charity is reducing the numer of external maintenance agreements that it provides (since owners can purchase consumables at the same price as the charity) unless the owners strongly prefer to continue with our agreement in which case prices will be increased significantly to ensure the charity benefits financially from the arrangement. ## 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: - £5249 in donations - £520 from public or private organisations for supplying or maintaining defibrillators and / or consumables And spent: - £1,709 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 Leaving: - £8,640 cash in the bank Expenses represent less than 10% of the charity’s expenditure with the remainder invested directly in public access defibrillators or their maintenance.
