Objectives and activities
What are the formal purposes (objectives) of your charity, as set out in your governing document? For the public benefit the relief of sickness and preservation of good health by the provision of automated external defibrillators (AED’S) and training in their use where applicable in public areas across the UK
What are your main activities? (the things you do in order to achieve the objectives) The Tom Henson Charity exists to help provide local publicly accessible defibrillators for communities to use in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.
How do these activities benefit the public?
When a person suffers a sudden cardiac arrest, the time in which defibrillation is given is critically important. The chances of a patient surviving a sudden cardiac arrest when not in hospital diminish by approximately 10% a minute. Ambulance response times to such events are expected to be in the region of 8 minutes (at a national level). That is why it is important to have local public access defibrillators.
Please confirm that you have considered the charity Commission’s guidance on ‘public benefit’. Click here for a link to this guidance.
The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
Summary of the main achievements during the period
What did you actually do? (You could add some statistics if you like, and give more detail of your activities):
It was a quiet year in terms of installations. We got one installed on a village hall and another two handed over to individuals responsible for other buildings freqented by lots of members of the public, though we are waiting for the availability of electricians to install these last two to make them publicly available 24/7. Many thanks to the individuals and groups that have helped get permission to allow these to be placed.
We had a couple of very well supported bake sales and we are extremely grateful to those who donated the cakes and all who donated money/purchased cakes.
We had a bit of a disaster with our annual football match due to a storm that ended up flooding the pitch, so we had to call the event off on the day, which was extremely disappointing to us and to all
the players who had been really looking forward to it. We held the raffle the same day and were immensely grateful to our local Wetherspoons for kindly allowing us to have a bake sale the following day where we managed to sell all the baked goodies that we'd worked hard to produce. We also had plus a Christmas raffle too, so yet more thanks are due to all who supported us by donating prizes, money or bought tickets.
Financial review
Please comment on your financial position at the end of the reporting period (You might for example, refer to the surplus or deficit you’ve made, or the movement in the fund balances. Are you happy? – the choice is yours. )
We are happy with the financial position the charity is in at the end of this reporting period.
What is your policy on reserves? (Your policy should include: why you need reserves, the target level, your current position, your plans to increase or use your reserves and how often you review this policy. If you do not need reserves you should explain the reason.)
Due to the finite lifespan of a defibrillator and it’s consumables, the charity aims to steadily build reserves to provide sufficient funds in the charity accounts to enable replacement of these items when needed.
