## **Alcester & District CFR AGM 29 April 2025, Chairmans report** In 2024 we attended 102 999 call outs. In summer 2024, a Cardiac Science G5 and cabinet from the VIP Gym on Arden Road on the Arden Forest industrial Estate was donated to us. It had a new battery and pads, and we have a letter transferring ownership to our charity from VIP gym. 2024 was a great year for recruitment. Zoe Hawyes, Simon Prior, Trudi Hunt and Tim Clark passed interview in 2024, and were fully qualified by spring 2025. Unfortunately, Jessica Print never completed her probationary period following illness in 2024 and has failed to reply to many phone messages and text. We must assume she has resigned. Hayleigh Clark decided to join Redditch CFRs for her probation period. CPR and defibrillator awareness sessions to members of our community continue. In 2024 we delivered this to approximately 200 people in Alcester and the surrounding villages, arranged by parish councils, sports clubs, and businesses. We received donations from most of the organisations we delivered this to. The 2023/4 Mayor of Alcester, Vaughan Blake selected us as one of his charities and we received a donation of £1250 as a result. Alcester Town Council awarded a community grant to us of £685 for defibrillator batteries and pads, and we spent £751.99 on that category of expenditure. Louise Hillman joined us in 2024 to take over the local fundraising role from Sue Ross, who has now left the area. Louise has expanded the distribution of collecting cans. In 2024, £106.38 was collected from cans, with further collections made in 2025. Sue gave us a donation of £333 from the sale of some of her late husband’s beer memorabilia. Steve and I were asked to attend a Coughton Community Choir concert as first aiders, and we received 50% of the profits from the concert, £1100. Studley CFRs received the same money but failed to turn up. A close friend of Louise’s, who has since died of cancer, gave us a donation of £1000, which was very humbling. Apparently, he had nobody to leave his money to. Other donations from various local organisations and individuals totalled £1415. The expenses we received from WMAS for travel to jobs exceeded the money we spent on petrol for the Scheme car by £88. The cost of car, kit and public liability insurances totalled £1163. We spent £695 on medical equipment In 2024 we had a cash surplus of £3658.48 The £10,000 deposited in a saver account with Lloyds in December 2023 yielded interest of £267.94 after the 8-month period, and 10,267.94 was redeposited at 3.45% for 9 months. Following a very successful year financially December 31[st] we had £15,668 in the 2 bank accounts. ## **Alcester and District Community First Responders** ## **Receipts & Payments Account for the Period 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025** |2025
