OURJAY FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD 24 OCTOBER 2022 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 24 October 2022 to 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
117 Community Accessible 24/7 Defibrillators purchased and installed.
OurJay Foundation have supported community groups and businesses to purchase and install accessible defibrillators for community use in a number of areas, primarily in Warwickshire and the West Midlands
As a foundation, OurJay have worked alongside Snap Fitness 24/7 gym facilities to provide defibrillators across 27 of their sites throughout England and Ireland
OurJay Foundation have supported Grass Roots sports clubs to purchase and implement pitch side defibrillators, to be used in emergency situations by players, staff, visitors and the general public. For periods stated above, 24 pitch side defibrillators were placed with clubs in Rugby, Coventry and Crewe (both senior and junior clubs)
As part of OurJay Foundations commitment ensuring publicly accessible defibrillators, we have provided vandal-proof defibrillator cabinets to a large number of schools, which house government funded defibrillators. We have also supported with the purchase of new defibrillator batteries and pads, to ensure these defibrillators are serviced and emergency ready prior to being made publicly accessible
Where publicly accessible defibrillators have proven to be an impossibility, the Foundation have purchased and provided individuals with single use defibrillators, which can be carried in vehicles or bags etc. This has proven to be a vital accessory to many people with underlying health conditions
OurJay Foundation have placed defibrillators in approximately 6 vehicles (HGV’s)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Awareness and Confidence Building
OurJay Foundation have partnered with Resuscitation Practitioners to provide Cardiopulmonary resuscitation/automatic external defibrillator information and awareness sessions to the general public, including but not limited to, schools, youth groups, community groups and sports teams. These information and awareness sessions have been funded by OurJay Foundation and have been provided to the public with zero charge. The practitioners that OurJay partner with have provided their time as volunteers.
As part of our continued determination to provide CPR/AED information and awareness to everyone, OurJay Foundation have purchased a number of training defibrillators, electronic mannequins and inflatable mannequins. This includes three adult mannequins, one child mannequin and one baby mannequin. Our training defibrillators range in brand, as a requirement, to try to ensure that all brands of defibrillator placed are covered in our sessions.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Financial Aims
Our trustees aim to research further accessible defibrillator suppliers, to ensure charity funds are being used in the most cost effective way possible. We have, already, used a number of suppliers, however, due to rising costs, further research is required.
With regard to events, the Foundation must now consider the lack of free venue availability when considering upcoming events. During the first year that the charity was running, we were able to benefit from many kind donations, thus keeping costs to a minimum. Going forward, the trustees need to consider other financial implications that may become relevant when planning future events.
As OurJay Foundation is now available as a selectable beneficiary, we can now support further fundraising activities being carried out by members of the public.
As the Foundation grows, we do not currently intend on adding any further trustees, however, this may become necessary in the future. Going into the next financial year, we have possibly secured some funding to enable the Foundation to make use of an administration assistant who will provide support with day to day administrative tasks and defibrillator servicing, as well as supporting us at charity events. Payment for this role will be provided by a third party and no donated funds will be used.

We continue to search for a further variety of charity merchandise, which we sell at a profit, all of which pays towards our charity objectives
Due to the vast increase in the number of accessible defibrillators, which we have sited, we have now invested in a charity vehicle (VW Caddy) which is used by our Trustees and our volunteer defibrillator maintenance manager. This vehicle is used to make deliveries, collect merchandise, transport to and from charity events, servicing accessible defibrillators and managing emergency defibrillator deployments. The charity vehicle has proven to be a vital asset in achieving the charity outcomes we aim for.
