This is who we are

Rapaid Emergency Bandages is a registered charity in England and Wales (1191265)

Charitable Purpose The provision of services and equipment for life saving first Aid in the event of serious blood loss due to crime, accident or major incident that can be used by the untrained general public, throughout England and Wales.

Charity structure Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered 14 SEPT 2020

Governing Document To preserve and protect health and the saving of lives of the public in the UK by providing establishments, public transport and infrastructure, with visible and accessible free of charge emergency bandage kits (not normally provided by the statutory authorities) which in the event of a major incident or serious accident, including stabbings, terror attacks, road traffic accidents and falls, can be utilised by untrained passers-by, and/or the emergency services attending the scene to stop the bleed, potentially saving lives.

Founder Mr. Alex Chivers Trustees Mr. Gary Timothy Madden Mr. Karl Baker Mr Gareth Pope

Founders

Alex Chivers is the founder of RAPAID, a Special Forces veteran and former Police Tactical Firearms Commander. In light of increasing knife crime and terrorist attacks and reflecting on his years of front-line experience, Alex identified the crucial benefit of locating easy-to-find, simpleto-use, military grade bandages in our public space and work environments. Saving time and saving lives!

Patrons

“I have experienced first-hand those initial moments after an attack, bystanders were desperately trying to stem bleeding using clothing and whatever they could find. Having RAPAID emergency bandages in the public domain is a fantastic lifesaving initiative”

Travis Frain OBE

Travis was caught up in the Westminster terror attack in March 2017

Patrons

“I am proud to know the people who are behind RAPAID Emergency Bandages. These bandages are so important and can literally make a difference between life or death” Figen Murray OBE

Figen’s son Martyn died in the Manchester Arena attack 2017. Since then, Figen has been the driving force behind Martyn’s law, the new Protect Duty currently a draft bill

4

This is why

Knife crime and stabbings are at their highest level without a day going bye with news of another fatality.

Attacks can occur on any high street, in any public space, at any time. Any one of us, our families or friends, could become a casualty. Typically these attacks result in trauma injuries that lead to massive and fatal blood loss.

It only takes 5 minutes to bleed to death!

Although Police and First Responders may reach the scene quickly, the quicker treatment begins and direct pressure can be applied to a serious Hemorrhage the better the chances of survival.

5

This is our mission

Our mission is to save lives, we do this by putting “military grade” simple to use emergency bandage kits, free of charge into taxi cabs. Each cab that carry the bandage kits displays a green RAPAID window sticker which will enable the emergency services, members of the public and victims to quickly identify a taxi that is carrying the bandages, flag the cab down and be given immediate access to life saving equipment to stop blood-loss in the crucial minutes after knife crime, terrorist attack, or serious accidents.

Our vision is to install RAPAID emergency bandage kits into as many licensed taxi cabs across the entire UK, building on our previous successful roll outs.

6

This is how we do it

We are the only charity in the UK that is installing life-saving military grade emergency bandage kits into black cabs. We do this because taxi cabs are in and out of our community day and night, just seconds away from likely scenes of crime, serious accidents or a terrorist attack.

The taxi cabs that carry the emergency bandage bags display large RAPAID window stickers in the front and back of the cab allowing the public to quicky identify the cab, flag them down and have immediate access to life saving bandages. Since we began installing the kits, there have been a number of incidents where a member of the public or the emergency services has flagged down a cab and helped an injured person.

RAPAID enable ordinary members of the public to take fast, simple and effective steps to stop fatal blood-loss whilst waiting for Police and first responders to arrive.

RAPAID life-saving emergency bandages do not require any special training to be used to stop the bleed.

This is what they say

“Cardiff city centre is a safe place and thankfully knife crime is falling but if the worst case does happen and there is an incident like that, to have additional first aid is a very positive step, well done to RAPAID and thank you”. Inspector Adrian Snook South Wales Police

10

This is what they say

“Cardiff is a fun vibrant city with a good night-time economy that involves drink, people falling over, running infront of cars and all those simple and innocuous things that can cause serious life-threatening bleeding. This initiative is not just about knife crime but also about those day-to-day injuries and making a difference to the whole community. “

Doctor James Dunn

This is what they say

“Most taxi drivers would like to help because we must respect each other as humankind. Carrying RAPAID in my cab allows me to play my small part in helping to protect the community and keeping it safe should anything awful happen ” Lufti Tewair Cardiff taxi driver

12

This is Warrington cabs

As part of Operation Sceptre, officers from Warrington police have given their support in the rollout of RAPAID bandages to taxi drivers throughout the town, designed to stem serious blood loss following a knife attack or serious accident.

IAPAID This is our support EMERGENCY BANDAGES p•ppY K.11

This is our team

Our team of volunteers identify suitable locations to donate the RAPAID kits, for example the taxi rank at the train station where taxis are stood waiting in line each day.

We engage with the taxi drivers, explain and teach them about the life saving initiative and with their support we then place RAPAID window stickers on the front and back of the cab and issue the taxi driver with their bandage kit, which they carry in the driver’s cab. Many of the drivers who have accepted a kit have told us about incidents where they have wanted to help a passenger or member of the public but have lacked the equipment to do so. We have had a very positive response and support from taxi drivers and their relevant associations.

17

Looking ahead

We continue to build partnerships - building links with partners from different sectors to increase awareness and funding opportunities.

We continue to Identify and apply for Grants, Trusts and Statutory Funding Income such as community safety grants and statutory funders such as local authorities, the Greater London Authority (GLA) and others. Identify and approach major donors who have been affected by crime that has led to possible major injury or death to a loved one and others who feel strongly about RAPAID’S mission.

Continue to Identify and organise further donations of RAPAID to taxi cabs across the entire UK.

How it adds up

Financial Review

Income for the year is representative of the ongoing distribution of RAPAID bags into the community and the wider reach RAPAID has seen. This is comparable to last year as the sources of income have shifted.

The principal sources of funding have come from unrestricted donations. RAPAID is anticipating ongoing philanthropic donations from its principal donor The Baker Family Charitable Trust to support the increase in the charity’s presence and distribution base. This year has also seen increased donations from corporate partnerships and individual giving. The increased diversity in income streams is indicative of the roll out to more cities and publicity gained during the city-wide approach taken in distribution.

The following key financial events have impacted our income and expenditure during the year

Charitable donations of £263,308 (2023/24: £135,497) a 94% increase in funds, predominantly due to indidivudal donantions and corporate sponsorships.

Whilst operational and fundraising costs remain stable, the decrease in charitable expenditure is due to minmal investment in stock needed. When finalising the contract for holding and distributing stock for resale, more stock was discovered and the value of holding stock has been adjusted, reducing the overall cost of sales. Total expenditure of £158,231 (£189,325 2023/24)

Restricted Income

No income received has been restricted.

Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds stands at £280,770 (2023/24: £162,500)

This level of reserves as of 31[st ] March 2025 is deemed adequate to meet current and ongoing reserves policy.

19

How it adds up

Reserves Policy

The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity’s size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavor not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

The aim will be to hold at least 3 to 6 months’ equivalent support costs of which would be sufficient to support the ongoing activities and development of RAPAID Emergency Bandages.

Risk Management

The Directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

The directors have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate significant risks.

Investment Policy

Considering the Charity’s size of operations all income received is required as working capital and to fulfill the reserves policy. As such RAPAID have no cash invested in short- or long-term deposits.

Working capital and reserve requirements continue to be monitored and reviewed on an annual basis by the board.

20

How it adds up

Going Concern

To assess the appropriateness of the going concern assumption basis, the Trustees have considered the charity’s financial position, reserves and forecasts for the foreseeable future.

They have considered the assumptions underlying those forecasts and the impact of the potential risks affecting them. Having made those enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the organisation will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of signing this report.

For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Structure, governance & management

The organisation is a charitable incorporated organisation registered 14 SEPT 2020.

The Board of Trustees are set out at the start of this document.

The Board meets at least three times a year. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 10 to the accounts.

Any person who is willing to act as a trustee, and is permitted by law to do so, may be appointed to be a trustee by a decision of the trustees. No person who is not a member shall in any circumstances be eligible to hold office as a trustee.

During the twelve months to 31[st ] March 2025 the trustees delegated day to day management of the charity to its founder and CEO Alexander Chivers.

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ACCA and ACIE, both of which are one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

Offsetting		the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
		Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to
Grants and donations		5.12 FRS102 SORP).
		In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has
		provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related
		conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies		Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the
		executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the
		legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Government grants		The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period
		Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount

		sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the
		corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income
		from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
		activities'.

		income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
