Annual Report of the Registered Charity RALPHH (Robert Allen Life Promotion and Health Hearts) Trust for the Financial Year 2021-22.
The charity has had a good year in terms of activity in support of one of its key aims – to provide improved access to defibrillation equipment at schools and amateur sporting locations. However, financial reserves have declined and work in driving forward ECG testing for young people starting on strenuous sporting activity has once again been a casualty of the COVID19 pandemic and the implications this has had on National Health Services
Although paid for in the previous financial year, the installation and launch of the defibrillator at the Boathouse of Queen’s Park High School, Chester had to be delayed until May 2021. This is ideally positioned to meet any emergency requirement of School students; the neighbouring canoe club and scouts; as well as walkers on the towpath alongside the River Dee. Local media coverage of this initiative was extensive. A second installation took place and was launched in early July at Honiton Community College, Devon. This is conveniently positioned for school games and private adult classes, which include dancing.
Although arranged earlier in the summer, delays in defibrillation equipment supply meant that installations at Sidmouth College and West Buckland School, near Barnstable had to be postponed until early November. As at Honiton, the Sidmouth installation has the benefit of providing cover for student sports as well as adult use of College facilities in the evenings and weekends. West Buckland has enormous school grounds where previously just one defibrillator was available. Thanks to RALPHH support coverage is much improved.
Working in partnership with Kingston Grammar School, protected defibrillation equipment has been installed on the exterior of one wing of the premises that overlooks a popular sporting and recreational facility. This has also plugged a gap in local provision, since the closure of a local leisure centre in January 2019.
A final defibrillator installation has been agreed and a grant already provided by the charity to Diss High School, Norfolk. This has again been delayed by equipment availability, but a launch date has now been set for late April 2022.
In the coming year a priority has to be a formal review of the RALPHH website dealing with information on the best approach to leaving participation in an exerting sport. This will involve appropriate health professionals. Further attempts will be made to help fund ECG testing for young people and more attention is needed to help supplement existing efforts on fund raising to help meet defibrillator demand. On this latter point, the continued interest of personnel from VMware is much appreciated and we would hope to build upon similar support from corporate business. Improvement made throughout the year in the use of the RALPHH website should be continued to help supplement this strategy.
