| Structure, governance and management | ||
| Type of governing document Trustee recruitment and appointment |
||
| The constitution was approved by members in April 2021. | ||
| Trustees are recruited by existing members searching out volunteers within the community, and also by information spread in local newspapers requesting and encouraging the participation of anyone in the local community with an interest. |
||
| Objectives and activities | ||
| Charitable purposes Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects |
||
| To preserve and protect the good health of inhabitants of Kingussie, Newtonmore and the surrounding district by seeking to provide medical equipment (primarily for emergency use or to aid diagnosis and treatment of certain medical conditions at a local level if possible) over and above that which it is a statutory obligation of the National Health Service to provide. |
||
| After discussing with representatives of Kingussie Medical Practice and other local emergency medical service providers their potential medical requirements and the outline cost, trustees then decide whether the equipment requested fits with the organisation’s objectives. Once agreed, details of the equipment are passed by health professionals to committee members who source the appropriate equipment and determine its cost. The equipment is then purchased by EMEF and donated for use by the health professionals in their day to day work in the community, while remaining the property of the charity. The charity also orders the equipment required to maintain the defibrillators in the Badenoch community. |

APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period
Only one piece of equipment was requested during the year, being a saddle stool for the use of the podiatrist. EMEF once again had a stall at the local Bikeathon which raised almost £270. It also had a stall at the Kingussie Christmas Shopping event which raised over £430. Both of these events were marred by poorer weather conditions. However, a presence at the Newtonmore Highland Games brought in over £240.The collecting tins, along with donations and funeral bequests, brought in just over £2,110, double the amount the previous year. Finally, EMEF continued to assist a local group who have taken on the responsibility of ensuring that all of the defibrillators in the community are maintained with batteries and pads, by holding the funds raised for that purpose and ordering the necessary equipment. These funds are ringfenced as restricted funds in the accounts. At the end of the financial year, the organisation got a Highland Council Discretionary Grant of £2.625 which will be split three ways between local communities, one third of which had been paid out by the year end.
Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) |
The charity has sufficient reserves to continue to operate, having no formal premises or employees, and with annual insurance being the only regular overhead. Sufficient funds are maintained in the bank account to meet that payment. |
|---|---|
| EMEF holds ring-fenced funds relating to the maintenance of defibrillators within the Badenoch area. |
