REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. 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)

Awareness and Confidence Building
OurJay Foundation continue to partner 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.
We have been able to continue to offer these session at zero cost, due to the donations being received, to fund these. All resus practitioners are giving their time free of charge.
OurJay have invested some funds into further training equipment, including further mannequins and training defibrillators. We also had a damaged mannequin, meaning we had to cover the cost of a replacement.
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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Fundraising activities Money Raising Opportunities
OurJay Foundation have received public donations in a variety of donation platforms. We have charity tins/collection boxes sited and many locations which are collected intermittently, this includes shops, restaurants, schools etc.
We have organised and held a number of charity events including:
" OurJay Festival Fun Day 2024 " Charity Bingo Nights " Charity Quiz Nights " Charity Race Nights " Charity Concert (JAY21)
OurJay Foundation volunteers have attended many charity events organised by the public, schools and community groups. In return these have raised funds that have partially been donated to the Foundation.
OurJay Foundation hold raffles and tombolas frequently to raise funds for accessible defibrillators. Prizes are purchased and raffled with any proceeds being used towards accessible defibrillators.
OurJay Foundation have applied for a number of different grants, some which have been successful, others that have not.
Police car defibs campaign
OurJay continues to campaign to put defibrillators in all community facing police cars. We are starting to make progress, which a television appearance booked for January 2025, to support with this campaign. £6000 was received from an anonymous donator, which OurJay will match, to enable us to fund defibrillators for up to 24 police cars across Warwickshire Police force.
The Mayors Charity
OurJay were named as the Mayors charity, in Rugby, for this year. This has seen a large increase in the amount of events we are asked to attend. This has been a benefit, however, these are all no cost events, so funds were not received for us attending. We have had to rely on donations made at these events and funds generated from the sale of merchandise. This partnership will end May 2025.
Fundraisers
The Foundation has been named as fundraising beneficiary by many members of the public who have completed fund raising activities, including but not limited to:
" Distance Running i.e Marathons " Swimming " Sky Diving " Boxing " Charity Football Matches " Other exercise themed activities
The Foundation has invested in a further 2 charity gazebos, as well as event equipment and advertising materials to enable us to grow our presence at charity events
OurJay's bespoke merchandise has been purchased through a number of sources including but not limited to: " Oddballs Charity

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
" UK POS " IDGenie " Magiprint
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 events we attend and needing more than 1 volunteer at each event, we have invested in a second charity vehicle, a six seater van, which enables us to carry more volunteers. This has helped a lot with the Christmas events, where we held double stalls, so needed more volunteers on site. We have also seen the huge benefit this brings, when delivering more than 2/3 cabinets at any one time and not having to make numerous trips.
The charity vehicle has proven to be a vital asset in achieving the charity outcomes we aim for.
FUTURE PLANS
Plans for Future Periods
OurJay Foundations future aims and goals include:
" Further purchase and implementation of accessible defibrillators across communities " Further support for Grass Roots sports clubs, to enable more pitch side defibrillators. OurJay Foundation aim to further this support across wider areas of the UK.
" To continue our campaign for defibrillators to be placed in all Police cars across Warwickshire and the whole of the UK
" To continue taking part in and supporting with charity events, to raise further funds to grow the Foundation and enable a wider demographic of defibrillator sites across the UK and Europe
" To continue to raise awareness of the lack of public accessible defibrillators in the UK
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 decided to continue our partnership with our current defibrillator supplier, as this is not only cost effective, but delivery is always quick and we have had very few problems, since working with them.
We have now had to start paying for some venues, so we continue to search for more free locations, to hold CPR/AED awareness events.
As the Foundation grows, we have now secured some funding, via local business, 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. This administration assistant intends to start with the foundation in January 2025. Payment for this role will be provided by a third party and no donated funds will be used.
All trustees of the Foundation continue to provide support on a volunteer basis and do not receive any financial gain.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF OURJAY FOUNDATION
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ourjay Foundation
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ourjay Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 33% on cost
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Defibrillators
During 2023 the foundation purchased defibrillators which remained under their control. These are shown in the balance sheet under fixed assets as the responsibility to maintain these remains within the foundation. This treatment has changed for the 2024 financial year where the responsibility to maintain and control has been passed on and so all costs have been expensed to the profit and loss.
