## ELMWOOD ASTHMA ACTION Elmwood Asthma Action **Annual Trustee Report 2023-2024** Elmwood Asthma Action NIC 100282 Email- asthmaaction@gmail.com Web – elmwoodasthma.org Address- 41a Fernaloy Road Armagh BT60 3LR ## **Charity aims and purposes. Objectives and Activities.** The aim and purpose of Elmwood Asthma Action is to provide assistance to people suffering from asthma and breathing related problems, and to fund research into providing assistance to those who suffer from Asthma and breathing related problems. Our organisation raises donations by the placement of Charity collection boxes in various shops throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We also occasionally arrange charity bag packs in local supermarkets as an additional source of charity funding. With these raised funds we donate to research that is tasked with studying the effects of Asthma and breathing related difficulties so that treatment can be made devised to combat these difficulties. With raised charity donations we also fully or partially fund or donate nebulizer equipment that elevates breathing difficulties for those who suffer from Asthma and breathing related problems. With ongoing research, we hope to provide new advances in breathing related equipment as and when they are devised and have been passed by relevant bodies. ## **Annual Report** At our annual meeting we discussed several topics. The ongoing rise in costs involved with running the charity were discussed and a few ideas proposed as how to both save money and increase donations. These included obtaining quotes for printing services from several competing companies and choosing the quote that is best for price and quality. The approval of a donation button on the charity’s website was approved and implemented and is currently in operation. The use of social media to create awareness and to aid donations was discussed and it was decided that this should be further investigated. A special mention was noted for a former volunteer of the charity, Brian Morgan, who sadly passed away in 2023. Brian was a proud supporter of the chairty and though ill helped curbed his ability to help the charity in his later years, his help and guidance was invaluable in the early days of Elmwood Asthma Action. He will be missed. All trustees agreed to return for the oncoming year and Yvonne Morgan was re-elected as Chairperson. _“The new design for the charity’s website was discussed and approved. This was implemented in the middle of the year and is currently online.”_ ## _FINANCIAL_ ## **ELMWOOD ASTHMA ACTION** Revenue Account – Year ended 31 March 2024 **Donations and Collections Direct Costs** 6,747 Labels 422 Donations 4,200 Collection Boxes 886 **6,747 5,508 Administration Expenses** Accountancy 240 240 Deficit for the year 999 **6,747 6,747** ## ELMWOOD ASTHMA ACTION Balance sheet as at 31[st] March 2024 ## Revenue Account Balance as at 1[st] April 2023 431 Add: Surplus for the Year 999 Sundry Creditors 0 Cash at Bank 1430 Cash on Hand 0 The above are an extract from the full Accounts of the Company and our report on those accounts was as follow: In accordance with instructions given to us, we have prepared, without carrying out an audit the attached Accounts from the accounting records and from information and explanations supplied to us. ## Contact Information ## ELMWOOD ASTHMA ACTION 41a Fernaloy Road Madden Armagh BT603LR TEL – 02837569859 EMAILasthmaaction@gmail.com WEB – Elmwoodasthma.org ## TRUSTEES: Mr Joseph Morgan Mrs Yvonne Morgan (Chairperson) Emma-Jayne Henderson Coleen Hunter Mrs Deirdre Mcardle
