Additional information
Some additional information we wanted to provide was of things which are outlined on our website but need to be made clearer and some issues which were out of our control from COVID which has finally reached a conclusion: Chernobyl – As mentioned in 2022 the foundation was meant to conduct a rally to Chernobyl back in November 2021 which was cancelled due to covid and the reschedule unachievable due to the full-scale invasion. As mentioned in our 2022 impact report, the first rounds of the refunds were received in April 2022 and in October the last was meant to be. ATOL got involved and eventually in 2023 following court action in the end of 2022 we successfully reclaimed all of the funds lost – These funds were paid to those who were owed bar two people who unfortunately were uncontactable due to blocking the organisation and them not understanding our hands were tied. The foundation at the time couldn’t have just paid them the funds and waited for the courts to refund. This was outlined at point of booking too. These funds of these two people will remain in our reserve fund until December 2024 where if they remain unclaimed will be donated towards our activities. Ukraine – The foundation reserves the right outlined in its website to use the funds donated and equipment donated to go to whom we choose. The foundation chose to not provide certain types of equipment to particularly people in 2022/early 2023 due to those people consistently being intoxicated and abusing drugs, this led to these people losing their visas. The foundation can’t be seen to be supporting such antics. The equipment meant for them was issued to HALO TRUST and Tip of the spear mine removal.

During 2023, The Spearhead Foundation has conducted events across the North West of England. It has proudly supported humanitarian operations globally also. The veterans programme we provide at The Spearhead Foundation works with both veterans and serving members of the armed forces community but also emergency workers and the families of those serving/veterans and emergency workers. In 2023 the foundation worked directly with 344 veterans, 23 NHS workers, 7 firefighters and 11 police officers across 122 events along with additional user events which can be found on our website where we break these down even further. The Spearhead Foundations humanitarian arm has supported Ukraine, Syria and Turkey this year with more than £150,000 has been spent on Ukraine, Turkey/Syria. It has provided lifesaving treatment, evacuations, search and rescue and training and equipment. They will be a new tab on our website for a full impact report on our Specialist Rescue Team but for now here is just some of the impact we have had: In January we supplied when Turkey and Syria experienced earthquakes the quick reaction of The Spearhead Foundation seen us deploy over £50,000 of donated aid through the Turkish Consulate and partner forces in Syria. The aid sent included 120 sleeping systems, 58 individual aid packages, and 75 full trauma bags. We also provided advice and guidance to search teams in Turkey. In Ukraine – The full-scale invasion by 2023 was entering its full first year, team members D and C had clocked up some serious mileage in Ukraine from Lviv, Kyiv during the siege, Bucha, Irpin, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Soledar and Bahkmut. In total the two operators had spent the best part of nine months on the line. They were awarded for their bravery and support by the Ukrainian government in early 2023 with D retiring from Ukraine and supplying training in the UK to cops and firefighters. The foundation has since provided further training to Ukrainians in the UK for training and continue to work with the Ukrainian government and health minister providing direct support to hospitals along the zero-line holding the only NGO contract of this kind in the country. Additional to the humanitarian work and veteran and emergency workers events the foundation ran some special smaller programmes where we got those attending our events involved in fundraising, packaging and delivering these programme. On one programme we got assistance from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. These programmes were to assist the homeless in Manchester which seen us give out 550 homeless packs which consisted of food and warm kit. We also had a Christmas hamper programme for those with low income who couldn't afford to provide presents for their children. In this programme we supported 200 families.
