Trustees' annual report (incorporating the directors' report)

Year ended 30 April 2022

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006 and 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 published in October 2019.

Chair's report

This report focuses on the period from the 1 May 2021 until 30 April 2022. It charts the period immediately following the country having been in lockdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic and its associated restrictions. The 'new normal' for the Association included an ongoing commitment to smaller and more frequent courses, the headquarters staff working as a hybrid team with the office resourced once a week to facilitate the dispatch of membership packs and online-shop parcels.

This, for the Association, has been a challenging but rewarding period due in the greater part to the ongoing effects of the pandemic and the increased pressures within health. We were grateful to receive a further £250,000 donation from the HELP Appeal which has been distributed, via two grant application processes, to affiliated schemes to support their operational activities. We have also worked in partnership, with Smarter Metering Services Ltd who are a private company based in the East of England, to support six schemes who have now benefited from the donation of a response vehicle each.

Membership has continued to grow with a key stimulant being our social media presence which is curated by our office-based team. Our educational portfolio continues to be well received and run at full capacity with a healthy waiting list. Our Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (PHEC) course had recommenced in Autumn 2020 but our five-day Immediate Care Course (ICC) launched in September 2021 after its planned March 2021 inaugural course was cancelled by the venue due to the pandemic. As a brand-new course, the ICC brought together some of our most experienced faculty who worked alongside colleagues from the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service training school at their West Moors training centre.

Our October 2021 conference broke new ground with an online event being hosted from a hotel venue in the West Midlands. Due to concerns regarding public health, the limitations in place and the potential for stricter limitations on face-to-face meetings a core team comprising the conference coordinating committee, chaired by Dr Andy Pountney, and a technical team led by Mr Richard Steyn oversaw the delivery of a very successful online conference.

Our core headquarters services are running smoothly but are increasingly busy due to workloads associated with course management, membership services and the administrative 'tidy-up' following the restructuring. Nancy Howlett, our membership officer went on maternity leave in February 2022 and the same month we welcomed Tia Hursey as her maternity cover and also Jemma Careswell as the new courses and events officer.

Mrs Nikki Cooke, an non elected trustee, resigned in December 2021 and I am personally grateful for her expertise and input during her period with us.

In closing, I would like to sincerely thank our education faculty members, members of the board (our trustees) and our office staff for their part in the work of British Association for Immediate Care as well as our members for being part of the growth of our Association.

Paul Gates Chairman of the Board

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' annual report (incorporating the directors' report) (continued) Year ended 30 April 2022

Objectives and activities

Our objects are:

  1. For the public benefit, the relief of persons suffering injury or illness including by, but not limited to:

  2. advancing the education of individuals who provide pre-hospital immediate care including health care professionals from a wide range of professions as well as military medical personnel, associate practitioners, community first responders and first aid and voluntary rescue staff; and

  3. acting as a resource body for schemes, individuals and other organisations who provide pre-hospital immediate care.

  4. To advance the education of the public in general (and particularly amongst health care professionals) in the subject of pre-hospital immediate care and to promote research for the public benefit in all aspects of that subject and to publish the useful results of such research.

Public benefit

Our main activities are described within this report. All our charitable activities focus on the activities described within our Objects. These activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit through contributing to the relief of persons suffering from serious injury and illness by the provision of specialist education, acting as a national resource body and encouraging research in prehospital immediate care.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Association's aims and objectives, in planning future activities.

Achievements and performance

Despite the overshadowing of the pandemic and all of its ramifications the Association has gone from strength to strength. This has occurred within our office delivery, membership and scheme services, online sales and our course offering. Due to the pandemic, our annual conference held in October 2021 was an online event. The Association is being referenced and consulted in national strategic projects for the benefit of our members and schemes.

Office delivery

Continuing to work as a hybrid model the office is physically resourced one day a week to allow for essential office-based tasks including the sending out of new members' welcome packs and online shop purchases. Added to that course equipment is prepared and packed on-site and following considerable efforts has been rationalised and containerised to provide for greater flexibility in logistics and maintenance.

The new office database, introduced at the beginning of this reporting period, has been a major piece of work undertaken by the office team. Refinement and troubleshooting has been ongoing due in the greater part to previous practice leading to a number of inconsistencies in current records. Frequently these are not identified until a problem occurs or a data set misreports and only then can a process of data reconciliation occur. This has in particular kept our membership team busy and on their toes.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Membership and scheme services

Membership numbers have increased from 1,057 to 1,277 over the reporting period, a remarkable rise of 20.8%. April saw the long-service awards sent out with members receiving lapel pins marking their 10, 15, 20 and 30-year membership anniversaries. The Association was again privileged to be recognised as one of the nominating bodies for the award of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal having previously been similarly recognised for the award of the Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals and these were dispatched in early June for the Jubilee celebrations.

Over £700,000 in total has now been distributed to schemes via a competitive grant process with monies donated by the HELP Appeal. Added to that the generosity of Smarter Metering Services Ltd have led to further response vehicles being donated directly to a number of affiliated schemes.

A number of national relationships are in place with new ones established to represent our aims and the interests of our members and affiliated schemes.

Two new schemes have been affiliated within the reporting period:

Courses

There has been a total of 12-PHEC and 1-ICC courses delivered within the reporting period. Course enquires remain strong and have included delivery via bespoke courses into industry and higher education.

Financial review

We are pleased to present the Accounts for the Association for 2021-2022 within this report. The trustees are extremely grateful for the support received from the office staff and particularly for the hard work of Derek Eade in keeping our financial affairs running so smoothly and keeping the Association updated.

We also wish to thank Ensors who have provided our professional services until 2021 and wish them well. As we move on to our new structures and systems and extend a very warm welcome to our new examiners and accountants, Lovewell Blake LLP. We look forward to a lasting working relationship.

The Associations finances remain in excellent health. Our income this year totals £780,710, with £152,674 of membership income and a truly significant income of £151,563 from our incredibly popular courses. We would like to pay tribute to all our Instructors and Course Directors who have worked so tirelessly to deliver this highly sought-after teaching. As noted above, the HELP appeal continues generously to donate £250k per annum to the Association to support our schemes and members.

Expenditure for the year totalled £498,056 resulting in an overall surplus of £282,654.

Our fixed assets are relatively unchanged at £237,995 and net current assets of £560,442 mean that the charity have total funds of £798,437.

At the year end the charity held £91,972 in restricted funds and free reserves amounted to £468,470.

It is noteworthy that an investment of £124k in 2013 will mature next year, and our Honorary Treasurer has recommended to the Board that this and the awaited legacy be invested to support our reserves policy.

Our pricing policy

Our pricing strategy for both our courses is focused on delivering cost effective opportunities for the Association's members, whilst ensuring that others active and interested in pre-hospital care are also able to attend at a competitive and fair price. Course prices remained static until towards the end of the reporting period, when a 3.5% inflationary increase was applied against a national background of sharply rising prices, increased fuel costs and increased venue costs.

Annual subscriptions

The subscription structure has remained without change or increase recognising the increased membership numbers.

Donations

The HELP Appeal in October of 2021 donated a total of £250,000 which has been used to provide 13 cash grants within this reporting period. Thanks to their generosity seven emergency vehicles have been provided alongside equipping responders and their vehicles with purchases as divergent as blue lights and sirens, personal protective equipment, safety cameras, training and education.

A legacy donation is currently in process of being administered which has an estimated value of £200,000.

Financial review (continued)

Reserves policy and going concern

The Trustees are very mindful of the need to be diligent and use the Association's money to further its objects as a charity. As a charity, the Association is required to ensure that it does not have excessive amounts of reserves and that its money is used to further the objects:

As at the year end, free reserves of the charity amounted to £468,470 and at this point in time, the Trustees are content that the reserves it holds will allow it to successfully function for the next two to three years without further income. We therefore consider the charity to remain as a going concern.

At the year end the charity also held restricted reserves of £91,972.

Risk Policy

The Association is required to have an up-to-date risk register. This documents all the risks it is exposed to, and what mitigations are in place. The risk register is reviewed at regular intervals.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to these major risks.

Plans for future periods

Future plans are focused on strengthening the office base with recruitment for a course & events business manager and two part-time staff instructors. This is in response to the increased demand for courses including within the bespoke sector. To support our development of our charities governance we will also be looking to obtain a short-term management and governance consultant. A key aim as the Association moves forward is to re-establish its role within national governance and discussions for matters relating to pre-hospital care. The current activities in this area demonstrate that there is a role for the Association to play and that as this area of activity is extended our affiliated schemes will gain greater traction regionally by our activities nationally.

Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The British Association for Immediate Care is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Articles of Association dated 14 February 2020 and more recently amended by special resolution on 8 February 2021. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. Membership is open to individuals interested in pre-hospital emergency care and to schemes organised to provide the same. Individual members agree to contribute £1 in the event of the charity winding up.

Appointment of trustees

As set out in the Articles of Association, up to six trustees are elected by the voting membership of the Association. The trustees have the power to co-opt up to five others to serve as trustees, these are normally non-voting members of the Association and would normally be non-members. The chair and other officers of the trustees are appointed from amongst the trustees themselves according to their needs.

All members are circulated with invitations to nominate trustees prior to an election taking place. The election of trustees occurs normally at an annual general meeting. When considering co-opting trustees, the Board has regard to the requirement for any specialist skills needed.

Trustee induction and training

Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Fundraising Regulator

The charity does not actively fundraise from the public or run legacy campaigns or undertake similar fundraising activities in its own right or via a trading subsidiary or third party. The trustees are pleased to receive unsolicited gifts and legacies from patrons and supporters who generously support our immediate care work, however the trustees have no plans to actively fundraise from the public in the foreseeable future.

There have been no complaints to the Fundraising Regulator in the period.

Investment policy and performance

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the Association, have kept available funds in an interest-bearing deposit account.

Key management personnel remuneration

The trustees consider the Association's trustees, and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Association on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of trustees' expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 15 to the accounts.

The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. In view of the nature of the charity, the trustees benchmark against pay levels in the administrative levels of the NHS and local government.

Related parties

None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with a supplier must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. There are no related party transactions to report.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of British Association for Immediate Care

Year ended 30 April 2022

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 April 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the company 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 your company's financial statements as 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.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance Computer Equipment - 25% straight line

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.

4. Limited by guarantee

British Association for Immediate Care is a company limited by guarantee with no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of a winding up is limited to £1.
