Trustees’ Report

For the Year Ended 31 March 2024

For me, as Chairman of SERVSC, the last year can only be described as mixed emotions.... such huge highs, but also some deep sadness as we were forced to say a premature and somewhat unsatisfactory goodbye to one of our volunteers, Duncan Lougee. A truly memorable man, friend and colleague to those who knew him.

However, that leads me to one of my greatest highs of the year which was dedicating our newest liveried bike in Duncan’s memory, paid for with the surprise donation received from players of the People’s Postcode Lottery (PPL). Each year, we budget to replace a vehicle, and we work hard to ensure that we raise enough funds to cover that cost and the everyday running costs involved in paying for insurances, communications, safety equipment and training. The funding received from the People’s Postcode Lottery was a donation above our planned funding applications, coming completely out of the blue, without anyone prompting and it means we are now the envy of most, if not all, blood bike groups in the country.

This donation allowed us to renew and update some of our equipment, merchandise and stock of safety equipment, still allowing for the purchase and two year’s running costs of the new bike without having to touch what we had already budgeted for.

Aside from this significant funding, we cannot thank our regular supporters enough for their contributions and we certainly cannot be complacent about the funds we raise ourselves. However, the mere fact that we are in such a strong financial position allows our Trustees the benefit of making decisions without having to count the pennies......a very enviable position to be in, ask any charity board of trustees!

Tasks Completed

Operationally, we have settled into completing well over 2,000 tasks per year and having completed our 18,000th task, we are looking towards the horizon of accomplishing the 20,000th which, with all things being equal, we will achieve some time during 2025.

We increased the number of volunteers on duty during the day to accommodate a significant increase in tasks. This also meant we needed to increase our Controller Team as the workload became a busy balancing act between answering the all-important calls from our hospitals, delivering and collecting daily to our air ambulances and organising scheduled deliveries for human milk and medicines.

We continue to run with around 160 volunteers which includes a team of 13 Trustees, 18 duty controllers and a fantastic team of people supporting the charity with fundraising, administrative duties and care of our vehicles. Our volunteers will have driven or ridden over 160,000 miles by the end of this year and Caroline Stanger became the first of our controllers to receive her 1,800th call.

Trustees’ Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Year on year, what we are tasked to transport is pretty similar. Although, the drop in medicine deliveries has now been replaced by air ambulance tasks. We saw a drop in monthly tasks during the second half of 2023 however they have now increased and once again we are regularly hitting between 180 and 200 tasks per month.

Blood and platelets continue to dominate what we carry, closely followed by blood samples and donated human milk. Blood which we supply to the East Anglian Air Ambulance daily has been used over 60 times on scene this year and we now act as standby for the Nuffield Hospitals in Suffolk and Ely as they take on more NHS elective surgeries.

Our Events, Fundraising and Donations

The events we attended in 2023 raised just over £20,000. However, we received further donations as a result of attending those events of £14,960. The amount donated directly as a result of talks and presentations was just under £5,000 excluding the money Derek made on selling the donated mobile phones received from those talks.

So far our events in 2024 have raised £2,360 plus further donations of £8,550. Talks and presentations to date have raised £2,600 excluding mobile phone sales.

Many thanks to the events managers Maria and Frances who work hard to ensure SERVSC are seen at the important events of the year, to the teams that support them and all those that give up their time to promote SERVSC doing talks, presentations and publicity events.

I also need to thank our key third party supporters, specifically, Copdock Motorcycle Club, Royston Motorcycle Club and Precon Products as well as all those who support us in so many ways both financially and as suppliers to the charity.

Due to the PPL donation and an article they wanted to write to follow up on that, we decided to increase our liveried bikes from 5 to 6. BB9 is by far our busiest bike and is due to be replaced by the end of this year. We are also looking to purchase a 4x4 type vehicle which will help in the colder, bad weather months and will enable us to increase our box delivery capacity easily should we need it.

Trustees’ Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Our Operational Procedures & Policies

From an Operational perspective, commencement of deliveries to MAGPAS were pushed back whilst they moved into their new premises, but since it started it’s amazing how quickly that has become part of everyday SERVSC life with most of the initial teething issues now ironed out.

Our biggest challenge by far has been keeping up with the Highways Commission’s taste for making it up as they go along....or so it seems! Having decided to ditch the RV at the Black Cat on the A14 as it was proving more and more difficult to get to it, let alone find anyone at it, we also had to engage with some of our hospitals’ new parking authorities who seem to take tackling the task of illegal parking to the detriment of those who are actually quite entitled to park. However, we are used to rules changing and we rise to their challenges without giving them the satisfaction of receiving a ticket or hearing the dreaded words, “You can’t park there!”

We continue to increase the number of Service Level Agreements we have thanks to our Operations Manager’s firm commitment to holding regular meetings with those we collect from and deliver to.

One significant decision the Trustees made this year was to withdraw our membership from the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes (NABB).

Having attended several meetings where the agenda was becoming worryingly different to our own constitution, we were not alone in expressing our concerns. Following our decision to leave, others followed suit and despite NABB’s efforts to reassure everyone that everything was going to be fine, we are now looking at NABB being pretty much ineffective and defunct having had three Chairmen and committees resign in 12 months and the organisation remaining silent and rudderless.

Meanwhile, we continue without any impact from our decision to leave and we have great relations with those we work with closely. I have regular meetings with groups both in and out of the NABB organisation to ensure we continue to keep abreast of issues, concerns and developments. For the preservation of our constitution and my sanity, I have no regrets in leaving but do hope that one day a representative organisation can be born out of the embers of what was successful in the past.

So, to end my report where I started, it’s been a year of highs and lows. However, despite all the emotions, the charity of SERV Suffolk and Cambridgeshire continues to evolve, morph and adapt to what challenges are put to us.

2. Accounting policies

2.1. Income

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Donated goods

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and facilities

Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the Year Ended 31 March 2024

2.1. Income (continued)

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

2.2. Expenditure and liabilities

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

They are valued at cost.

The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 5.2.

Stocks

Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
