HEARTBEAT TRUST UK
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The objects of the charity are to improve the survival rate from catastrophic health events within the community throughout the UK, specifically:
-
Out of hospital cardiac arrests; and
-
Traumatic bleeds arising from various causes including, work/road accidents, impalement, stabbings, etc.
To achieve this, we seek strategic placement of medical equipment, specifically Defibrillators and Critical Bleed Control (CBC) kits, within the community and greater public awareness and training.
b. Significant activities
In support of the above objectives, the charity operates "three pillars of activity": Placement; Awareness; Confidence (PAC).
-
Strategic Placement of 24-hour publicly accessible defibrillators and CBC Kits through the validation of existing community defibrillators and with regards to areas of public concentrated activity and residence.
-
Greater Awareness of where the nearest 24-hour publicly accessible defibrillators and CBC Kits are located through signposting, publicity material and campaigns.
-
Improved Confidence to use a defibrillator and/or a CBC kit, when necessary, through training and promoted awareness of the importance of CPR and defibrillators and CBC in saving lives.
c. Public benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and have had regard to it when reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity, and in planning its future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the objectives set by the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Overall, it has been a successful year, particularly with regards to our new initiative of the installation of Critical Bleed Control (CBC) kits within the community. As of now, about 450 CBC Kits have been installed.
These kits are of military grade medical bandages and equipment to stem and control the catastrophic bleed arising from stabbings, impalements, road or work accidents and dog bites. Placed together with defibrillators, the CBC kits effectively make these locations “community trauma centres.”
The Charity aims to further expand its activities beyond that of West Glamorgan. Three main areas of focus are West Wales (Llanelli), West Midlands (Birmingham) and West England (Bristol). Within the latter, the Charity has strategically partnered with the air ambulance charities who seek to improve the publicly accessible defibrillator provision within their respective counties. Greater engagement with large corporate organisations to provide defibrillators and CBC kits is currently underway.
The Charity continues to provide awareness training of CPR/defibrillation within the community. With the support of our partners, St John Ambulance Cymru, free training has been offered to almost 1,000 people.
Financial review
a. Reserves policy
As a matter of policy, the Charity seeks to hold a reserve of at least £50,000 and currently holds reserves of £115,812. However, as the charity grows and matures, the trustees will periodically reflect on the need for the reserves to represent the changing size of the organisation and this number will be increased when funds allow.
In addition to providing for the HBT Care Package described above, reserves are held for a number of reasons including mitigating dips in income streams as well as to cover working capital requirements.
b. Financial position
The charity has raised total funds of £237,790 (2023 - £254,671) from the sale of defibrillators and cabinets.
Costs of providing equipment amounted to £174,870 (2023 - £179,675) and other running costs made up the remainder of the total cost figure of £236,972 (2023 - £236,372).
The charity made a surplus of £818 compared to a surplus of £18,599 in 2023.
At the financial year end, the charity held £115,812 (2023 - £114,994) of reserves. Cash reserves were satisfactory at £22,014 (2023 - £6,004) and £74,739 (2023 - £190,400) of stocks of equipment were on hand.
Structure, governance and management
a. Governing Document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

the accounts do not accord with those records; or

the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

HEARTBEAT TRUST UK
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. General information
Heartbeat Trust UK is a CIO, registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The registered number is 1185966 and principal address is:
Chelston House Newton Road Mumbles Swansea SA3 4BN
The functional and presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£) and balances are rounded to the nearest £1.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Heartbeat Trust UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
The charity generates income through a mixture of grant funding, primary purpose trading and donations. Surpluses and deficits generated both within the year and since the balance sheet date have been reviewed and the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient reserves and cash flow to mitigate any significant risk in relation to going concern.
Therefore, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
2.4 Grants and donations
Grants and donations are recognised when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resource.
In the event that grant income is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised in full until either those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Provision of goods
Income is recognised on the desptach of goods to service users.
2.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.7 Governance costs
Governance costs comprise of all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination together with other support costs.
2.8 Taxation
The Charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
2.9 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Computer equipment - 25%

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
2.11 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.12 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.13 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.14 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
2.15 Donated goods, services and facilities
Such amounts are recognised as incoming resources and resources expended when the benefit to the charity can be reasonably quantified or measured and is considered material to the charity.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.16 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors which are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only effects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical judgements that the trustees have made in the process of applying the charity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Impairment of assets
Assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation as a result of a past event and a reliable estimate can be made of a probable adverse outcome. Otherwise, material contingent liabilities are disclosed unless a transfer of economic benefits is considered remote. Contingent assets are only disclosed if an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

The charity now has a back-to-back agreement in place with its main supplier of defibrillators, which will ensure that any repairs required under the warranty period are undertaken by the supplier. Any such warranty repairs would be at no cost to the charity, and hence the Trustees consider that a warranty provision is no longer provided to cover such costs.
