# **Trustee annual report and financial statements for the year ending 31[st] March 2025** **CHARITY REGISTRATION No. 1191265** |||**Contents**| |---|---|---| |Page|1-23|Report of the Trustees| |Page|24|Independent Examiners Report| |Page|25|Legal & Administrative Information| |Page|26|Statement of Financial Activities| |Page|27|Balance Sheet| |Page|28-36|Notes to the Financial Statements| ## **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 1 ## **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! 2 ## **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 3 ## **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. 7 IAPAID This is Plymouth cabs EMERGENCY BANDAGES Imiilliii! come mou station Dabcock £ll rt4A *•AVI•* P*4 l yi)v" IAPAID This is Cardiff cabs EMERGENCY BANDAGES SUT I'W OSOD [AX/ A l.

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** 11 ## **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. 13 IAPAID This is public venues EMERGENCY BANDAGES 4? MATCHDA 14 IAPAID This is public venues EMERGENCY BANDAGES Iv trji 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. 18 ## **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. 21 IAPAID Statemcnt of responsibilities ot the trustoes IAPAID EMERGENCY BANDAGES Thank you 11 I,£EsE JJ ,III-N14AIqIN(i REGULATOR 23 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RAPAID EMERGENCY BANDAGES (the ‘Charity’)** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 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. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Jason Foxwell FCCA FCIE** independent-examiner.net 12 Hillbourne Road Poole BH17 7JB Date: 24 ## **RAPAID Emergency Bandages** REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 ## **LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** ## **CHARITY NUMBER** 1191265 **START OF FINANCIAL YEAR** 1st April 2024 **END OF FINANCIAL YEAR** 31st March 2025 **TRUSTEES THAT SERVED DURING THE YEAR TO 31ST MARCH 202 5** Karl Baker Gary Timothy Madden Gareth Pope (appointed 1st July 2024) ## **REGISTERED ADDRESS** Brewers Barn Fernham Road Uffington SN7 7RD ## **DATE OF REGISTRATION** 14th September 2020 ## **GOVERNING DOCUMENT** CIO - Foundation Registered with the Charity Commission ## **BANKERS** Santander Bank Santander House Oxford OX1 1HB ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS** Jason Foxwell Independent Examiners 12 Hillbourne Road, Poole, BH17 7JB 25 |CharityName RAPAID|CharityName RAPAID|CharityName RAPAID|CharityName RAPAID|CharityNo|1191265| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Annualaccountsforthe period|||||| |Period start date|**01/04/2024**||To|Period end date|**31/03/2025**| **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 202 5** |Notes
