AMBER COMMUNITY FIRST RESPONDERS TRUSTEES REPORT 2025
Amber Community First Responders changed their constitution from an unincorporated constitution to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) using the Charity Commission's model constitution as its basis. The Charity Commission granted charity status on the 17 July 2024.
Permission to move the assets from the old charity to the new charity was requested of the Charity Commission and the movement of the assets was concluded on the 01 December 2024.
The financial position of the organisation was, and is still, in a strong position. At the end of the 2023/24 financial year our cash assets stood at £70633.74. At the time of the transfer to the new charity the value was £69508.78 and at the end of the 2024/25 financial year the value was £64813.28. The fall was due to purchase of new uniforms and other equipment. The present cash assets are £68008.56 at 30/09/25.
The charity's objectives have continued as before - The relief of sickness and the preservation of life to members of the public by providing trained volunteers to attend medical emergencies as directed by East Midlands Ambulance Service.
During the past 12 months we have lost 5 of our responders to a new scheme set up by East Midlands Ambulance Service in the Belper area, an area which we had serviced for in excess of 10 years. Our scheme allowed the new scheme to retain some equipment which allowed them to continue responding - this equipment has now been returned to our scheme.
We have recruited 2 responders who have completed their training in this period.
It was agreed by the Trustees that the AGM of the new charity would take place in November going forward and would this year coincide with the schemes monthly meeting on 19/11/25. John would prepare the agenda and required documents.
