Independent auditors report to the trustees of the British Red Cross 22 Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 26 Thank you 46
2012 has been a memorable year, both for the UK and for the British Red Cross. Our volunteers helped with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and contributed to the success of the Olympics and Paralympics, demonstrating their hard work and dedication as they provided first aid support throughout. The sheer numbers of people descending on London and the surrounding areas put great pressure on statutory services. Our teams were unstinting in their support, proving their value by treating hundreds of people throughout the busy summer. However, it has also been a year of sadness for the Red Cross. In April, we lost our well-respected and dear colleague, Khalil Dale, who was found dead four months after being abducted in Pakistan. Khalil was part of the Red Cross and Red Crescent family for 30 years and we felt his loss deeply. Over the years, he worked for the Red Cross in many countries around the world, from Kenya and Sudan to Afghanistan and Iraq. He never shied away from tough assignments and was a brave, committed and kind man. We continue to miss him. It reminded us of the dangers that dedicated Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers around the world face on a daily basis, and we are grateful to them for their courage and determination to ensure we reach people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. Last year, once again, many crises around the world claimed our attention and our support. As conflict continued to devastate lives in Syria, we supported our colleagues in the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the International Committee of the Red Cross, as they crossed front lines to provide vital relief. We also demonstrated that we are not just there for the short-term as we entered our third year of support in Haiti following the earthquake in 2010.
As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, we are committed to supporting other Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world. In his role as chair of the global panel of secretary-generals on building capacity in other National Societies, our chief executive saw how support from larger Societies like the British Red Cross can be vital in enabling smaller ones to respond to disasters in their own communities. Last year, we provided support to Red Cross and Red Crescent societies in 43 countries, including Liberia, Bangladesh and Mongolia. In the UK, extreme weather conditions once again threatened our communities. Our volunteers responded to floods up and down the country, evacuating hundreds of people from their homes and giving them somewhere safe and dry to rest. And we helped vulnerable people prepare for the freezing winter conditions, in many cases preventing illnesses or accidents that would have led to a stay in hospital. 2012 was also the year we felt it was time to speak up more clearly about the important work we do in the UK. We know that many people still think of the British Red Cross as an organisation providing overseas aid and they know less about our life-saving work at home. In September, we launched a powerful national TV advertising campaign refusing to ignore people in crisis. The campaign showed how crises can come in many forms and how our support helps people cope with and recover from them. It was well received, reaching millions of adults around the country, and leading to a 31 per cent increase in online requests for our services. Last year marked the halfway point of our five-year strategy, Saving Lives, Changing Lives. A midterm strategy review showed we have made significant progress against our objectives despite unforeseen changes in the external environment including the prolonged economic downturn and wide programme of
government reforms. In particular, we have reached around two million people in the UK with our services and three million around the world and have seen significant growth in our international work. We have brought together our UK operations into a single directorate. We are also pleased to report that our unrestricted fundraising income continues to grow, despite the difficult economic climate. Overall income was down because, thankfully, there were fewer major disasters last year than in 2011. Improving our ability to deliver the best possible results for the people we support is central to ensuring that we are achieving our mission. We are building on our current measurement practice to make sure it helps us to improve continuously. In 2013, we will focus on improving practice across the UK and internationally to increase the effectiveness of our programmes and services. And as always, we remain committed to ensuring that we spend our money as efficiently as possible. Last year, we conducted reviews across our services, streamlining processes and ensuring that we spend as effectively and efficiently as possible. We rely on the generosity of many kind donors and supporters, and we ensure that the resources they provide are used most effectively. In December, we said farewell to James Cochrane, who stepped down as our chair after six years. James, who was recently appointed a CBE, has been a huge asset to the Red Cross and we thank him for his extremely valuable contribution. Sir Charles Allen CBE joined us as chair in January 2013 and is delighted to take on the leadership of our board of trustees. Last year was a year of great achievements for the British Red Cross, none of which would have been possible without the support and dedication of our supporters, volunteers and staff. Thank you to everyone who helped us improve the lives of so many people around the world and who we hope will continue to help us in the years to come.
Sir Charles Allen CBE Chair of the board of trustees
Our aims
Our vision is of a world where everyone
gets the help they need in a crisis.
As the UKs leading emergency response charity, 3,600 staff and 29,800 volunteers pursue these goals both here and overseas. Our work includes emergency response, health and social care, and building resilience (including first aid and humanitarian education). We operate both in our own right, and as part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the worlds largest humanitarian network, which has more than 13 million volunteers across 188 countries. Our corporate strategy, Saving Lives, Changing Lives, sets the framework for our core activities between 2010-15.

Were all so thankful to receive this food because we have no cereal stocks left and the food in the market is so expensive
Habi, 80, after receiving a Red Cross food parcel in Mali, West Africa
It was a very traumatic experience. What will stick in my mind is the support that I received from the staff and Red Cross volunteers at the rest centre. Being able to talk through my worries made the world of difference and relieved some of the anxiety and tension
John Cheetham (70), who was evacuated to a rest centre in St Asaph, north Wales, during Novembers flood
When Hurricane Sandy hit Caribbean shores and news headlines in October, we provided hygiene parcels, buckets and cleaning kits to thousands of people in Jamaica and Cuba to help them recover as quickly as possible. And years after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, we continue to help people whose lives were devastated by the disaster. Last year, we began the second phase of our recovery work, providing materials and support for communities to rebuild vital infrastructure, and helping families regain their livelihoods and independence. We have worked with the community to plan the reconstruction of safe housing, ready to start construction in 2013. When Tropical Storm Isaac threatened further damage to the island in August, the Red Cross helped Haitians prepare, evacuating people to emergency shelters, preparing hygiene and first aid kits, and sending out text message warnings. In the UK, 2012 was a jam-packed year full of major events including the Queens Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Red Cross volunteers stepped up to the challenge, providing first aid support at major transport hubs and helping almost 1,000 people
during the Olympics fortnight alone. From teenagers toppling over in the heat to windsurfing injuries, our dedicated volunteers were on hand to help, with teams based across London and further afield. Extreme weather conditions, fires, possible explosions and a gas leak also brought out Red Cross volunteers in their droves. Our emergency response volunteers responded to 2,500 call-outs in the UK in 2012 (56 in Scotland) including many incidents of serious flooding.
When Comrie in Perthshire suffered flooding in November, volunteers offered support at a rest centre to residents evacuated from local houses and two care homes. And in St Asaph, north Wales, a pregnant woman and a 92-yearold man were among many people rescued from their flood-hit homes by Red Cross volunteers in November. Our refugee services team were busy last year working towards Level 1 accreditation from the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) ensuring the quality of their work is officially recognised. During 2012, London, Bristol, Newcastle and Manchester/Liverpool achieved OISC Level 1 accreditation, which means that ten of our 17 operational Areas are now accredited. The remaining Areas are well on their way.
Teaching people life-saving first aid skills is essential to developing community resilience. In 2012, we trained 417,000 people in first aid, including 37,000 in Scotland. We used a host of new technologies to reach young people with our training. In July, we teamed up with Facebook to host an interactive party with real-life and online guests. Those taking part online could influence the live action by voting on what happened next. When one guest appeared to collapse, the others were asked to decide how to save her life. Live footage from the event appeared in a new DVD resource for teachers. We also harnessed the popularity of YouTube to help us deliver first aid messages to young people. Online sensation Dan Howell, whose videos have been seen 55 million times, worked with us to develop a Christmas-themed film about choking, featuring key first aid messages, which was viewed 1.2 million times. We believe first aid is a vital skill that every child and young person should learn. That is why we lobbied MPs last year to support a parliamentary petition for first aid and humanitarian education to be a core part of the national curriculum, and will continue with this campaign in 2013. Our first aid mobile app, (redcross.org.uk/app) providing advice on everyday first aid scenarios, such as burns and seizures, continues to be popular and was downloaded 281,000 times
in 2012. And recognising that first aid is of particular concern to parents, we relaunched the section of our website dedicated to first aid for children and babies. From allergic reactions and broken bones, to meningitis and poisoning, it covers all the first aid skills parents need to know to keep their children and babies safe. We also provided tailored first aid training to many at-risk groups including homeless people in Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, and Polish families with disabled children in Southampton. We know that some groups are more likely to experience injuries, accidents or illnesses than others so we focussed our efforts on improving their capacity to deal with the difficult or dangerous health situations they may find themselves in. We hope this will ensure that many lives will be saved in the future. Our research has shown that even when people have learned first aid, they still sometimes lack the confidence to step forward in an emergency. To address this, we have improved our first aid courses, developing a new resource pack to help our trainers boost learners confidence and increase their willingness to act. This new approach will be rolled out across the country in 2013. Elsewhere in the world, we helped communities in Uganda, Nepal, Pakistan and the Caribbean build their resilience and prepare for disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and outbreaks of disease.

In Nepals Kathmandu valley we helped raise awareness of the risks of earthquakes and how to reduce vulnerability to disasters among millions of people. We also provided first aid training to first responders and search and rescue teams. In Uganda, we worked with communities to reduce the risk of flooding and prepare for the health risks associated with it, such as malaria. Improving community resilience is at the core of all our disaster recovery work overseas. As we continue to help people cope during and in the aftermath of disasters in Haiti and Syria, we also provide the necessary support to enable them to withstand future disasters and conflicts. We continue to work with Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies in countries around the world to help tackle some of the most basic health and social care needs in vulnerable communities where there is little access to health services. For example, we sent a team out to Sierra Leone to help combat a dangerous cholera outbreak that killed more than 180 people and threatened the lives of thousands more. Our team provided safe water, cholera kits and promoted good hygiene practices to prevent further spread of the disease. We continue to support the Kazakhstan Red Crescent in providing advice and comfort to those living with TB and HIV, educating people about the diseases and how they are spread, and reducing the stigma surrounding them. And in Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa, 37,000 adults living with HIV and 27,000 orphaned and vulnerable children have received care and support through our HIV programme, in its first five years. A further two million people were reached with HIV prevention messages.
When I saw people shouting for help, there was no way I was going to stand by and do nothing. The man wasnt breathing and his pulse was starting to fade. Fortunately, my Red Cross first aid course had drummed home all the key messages
Brigitte Bellwood, Amersham, who stepped forward to help save the life of a man who collapsed at Luton Airport
When I got HIV and TB, I found it really tough to live in this world. I felt like an outcast. The attitude of the people at the Red Crescent makes a huge difference. Theyve helped me survive
Dmitry, who is helped by the Kazakhstan Red Crescent HIV and TB programme, supported by the British Red Cross

The day my volunteer arrived, my life changed completely. She was there when I felt very low and ill, and looked after me. Now I am walking about and starting to enjoy my life again. Without her guidance and help, I dont think Id be at home today
Patricia Howe, 74, Woking, who received help when she returned home from hospital after a bout of pneumonia

*The strategy baseline was calculated by taking an average of the actual number of people helped by the care in the home service in 2010 and the number we planned to reach in 2011.
Theres no doubt were now getting people out of hospital and back into their own homes more speedily and safely. The Red Cross support plugs gaps we hadnt previously been able to fill such as helping with social support, shopping and all those things
Justine Hillier, medical matron at St Peters Hospital in Surrey

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is made up of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and 188 National Societies.

We work on building capacity with all National Society partners. One example of this is the 8NS Africa initiative which matches four African National Societies with four northern National Societies to develop the capacity of the former. In 2012, the British Red Cross launched a core cost model with the 8NS which the African National Societies are using to understand their costs and support local resource mobilisation. The International Division also manages the Partnership Framework Agreement (PFA) with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). In 2012 key areas of work included an operational partnership in Azerbaijan, significant HR and financial support, as well as on-going engagement on international law, tracing, and Movement policy. A key part of the Movement support delivered in the UK is our work on international humanitarian law and humanitarian policy.
The British Red Cross is recognised as a leading National Society in international humanitarian law, and as a reliable and expert partner to the government and the UK armed forces. In 2012, we held our biennial summer school on international humanitarian law, attended by 49 delegates from nine countries, including representatives of four sister National Societies and the ICRC. Weve also supported the development of an international humanitarian law database, a project run from Cambridge together with the ICRC. The database is a unique online resource, providing up-to-date information on law practice for use by specialists as well as members of the public worldwide. The British Red Cross also manages the relationship between the Department for International Development (DFID) and the rest of the Movement, including 6 million support to the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 1 million to the British Red Cross and a number of different grants to National Societies.

Review of finances
Despite another challenging year for the UK economy we are pleased to report 4 per cent growth in our unrestricted income to a record 169.3 million (2011: 163.2 million). This income growth has helped support further investment in our charitable activities and our unrestricted charitable spend increased 7 per cent to 108.4 million (2011: 101.5 million). We did not witness the same scale of international emergencies in 2012 compared to previous years and this has led to a reduction in our appeal income and expenditure. The Japanese tsunami appeal in 2011 alone resulted in income and expenditure of over 14 million in that year. As a result our restricted income decreased to 30.8 million (2011: 50.6 million), with a similar fall in restricted expenditure to 29.5 million (2011: 58.6 million). The reduced scale of international emergency appeals has led to an overall 6 per cent reduction in our total income to 200.1 million (2011: 213.8 million) and an 11 per cent reduction in our total expenditure to 204.8 million (2011: 230.9 million). Expenditure We spent 137.6 million on our charitable activities in 2012 (2011: 159.2 million). While overall spend decreased due to the aforementioned reduction in the amounts raised through international emergency appeals, we increased our expenditure across UK emergency response, resilience, health and social care and supporting the Red Cross Movement. Our emergency response work in the UK includes refugee services, first aid at events and ambulance support as well as core emergency response work. We increased our expenditure in the year on our UK emergency response by 10 per cent to 26.9 million (24.5 million). Expenditure on resilience comprised mainly of first aid training in the UK and overseas programmes run with National Society partners. This spend has increased 6 per cent in the year to 41.3 million (2011: 39 million), primarily due to continued growth in our international work with National Societies. Our health and social care work is primarily UK-based. Our expenditure on this activity increased 9 per cent to 44.9 million (2011: 41.3 million). This growth was driven by an increase of 1.2 million on medical equipment services to 13.9 million due to increased activity on our principal contract. We continue in our efforts to ensure that we are achieving value for money. The focus is on improving efficiency and effectiveness in our activities while controlling costs, and at the same time growing or maintaining activity levels. During 2012, we generated annual savings of 1.5 million by improving our contracts and procurement processes, with significant savings coming from utilities, medical equipment and print supplies. Fundraising Our unrestricted voluntary income, primarily regular giving, legacies and other donations, has increased 4 per cent to 97.7 million (2011: 93.8 million). Our individual supporters donated more than ever before, through continuing challenging times, with income from regular giving increasing 8 per cent to 45.2 million

(2011: 41.9 million). Overall voluntary income has decreased due to the reduction in restricted emergency appeal income. Charitable income Around 44 per cent of our charitable expenditure in 2012 was funded from income directly from our charitable activities, up from 33 per cent in 2011. This income includes first aid training fees, health and social care contracts and grants to support our international work. Our charitable income increased 14 per cent to 60.1 million (2011: 52.9 million) with the biggest increase coming from growth in activity on our principal community equipment contract. Reserves Our reserves policy is set to ensure that there is no disruption of British Red Cross services in the event of an unforeseen reduction in income or increase in expenditure. Our reserves policy sets our minimum free reserves level at 15 million. As at 31 December, our free available reserves amounted to 38.1 million (2011: 41.4 million). Our strategy Saving Lives, Changing Lives outlines plans to draw down on our free available reserves further through 2013 and 2014 while remaining above our minimum reserves level. We plan to draw down at least 11 million in 2013 and a further 3 million in 2014. Pensions We have two defined benefit pension schemes, which are both closed to new members. The reported net pension surplus reported on an FRS 17 basis is 0.5 million as at 31 December 2012 (2011: 0.7 million) and the actuarial loss during the year
was 0.7 million (2011: 1.6 million loss). However, our latest actuarial valuations for funding purposes showed a net deficit of 4.3 million. A deficit reduction plan is in place for one of the schemes. We also have contingent liabilities in relation to the membership of the Pension Trusts Growth Plan. The British Red Cross is solely responsible for the organisations membership of the scheme, which has an estimated 7.6 million exit charge at the year-end. A new deficit reduction plan is in place, with payments starting in 2013. We also have joint liability with the Order of St John for the pension liabilities of the Joint Committee of the Order of St John of Jerusalem and British Red Cross Society. This liability became payable in January 2013 when the Joint Committee withdrew from the scheme. British Red Cross share of the liability is estimated at 0.6 million. Investments As at 31 December 2012, we held fixed asset investments of 35.1 million (2011: 49.1 million). Our investments reported net gains of 1.4 million in 2012. An investment sub-committee of the finance and audit committee regularly reviews our investment portfolio and performs an annual review of our investment policy. Our investment objective is to seek yield subject to a requirement of capital preservation. The investment sub-committee is satisfied with the overall performance of the investment portfolio against agreed benchmarks. The British Red Cross will not directly invest in companies with a significant interest in trading in and manufacture of arms or in the manufacture of tobacco products.

Volunteers carry out a wide range of activities including responding to emergencies, first aid, delivering health and social care and humanitarian education programmes, supporting refugees and asylum seekers, and fundraising. Without them, we could not carry out this life-saving and life-changing work. Outcomes and impact Improving the outcomes (short to medium-term changes in the lives of beneficiaries) and impact (longer-term changes) of our work is crucial to our success. We are capturing a growing amount of evidence about this at operational level. In order to improve systematic approaches to quality, impact and outcomes across our operations, we have been developing comprehensive frameworks such as the UK services outcomes framework and the international management methodology. We are also working to ensure this is part of a coherent corporate approach to quality and accountability. Cutting carbon emissions During 2012, we took our first steps in renewable energy by installing solar panels on three properties. In the six months following installation they have saved 19 tonnes of carbon. Risk management Achievement of our aims and objectives entails taking risks. The trustees are satisfied that appropriate internal control systems and risk management processes are in place. They consider that the following framework provides the British Red Cross with adequate measures to reduce the impact of identified risks:
security, health and safety of staff and volunteers, safety of beneficiaries, operational management information, IT infrastructure, workforce capacity and challenges of operating major relief programmes. Trustees responsibilities The trustees prepare consolidated financial statements for each financial year. These give a true and fair view of the state of the British Red Cross and of the annual results. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees have:
> The finance and audit committee reviews risk and internal
controls, approves the annual risk-based internal audit plan, and receives internal audit reports, regular progress reports and risk updates.

1. Accounting policies
(a) Scope and basis of the financial statements The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments at market value, and are in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Revised 2005) (the SORP), applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom and the reporting requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The results and balance sheet of the British Red Cross subsidiary, Britcross Limited, have been consolidated on a line by line basis. Britcross Limited makes up accounts to 31 December. Separate statements of financial activities and balance sheet have not been presented for the charity alone as these are not considered to be materially different from the consolidated statement of financial activities and consolidated balance sheet. The financial statements incorporate the results of all material activities overseas where the British Red Cross has operational responsibility. The results and net assets of Red Cross operations in eight British Overseas Branches have been included in the financial statements. (b) Fund accounting General unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general charitable objectives. A pension reserve is included within unrestricted funds to reflect the pension surplus. Restricted funds are donated for either a particular area or purpose, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. Such donations are principally for international purposes. (c) Incoming resources All income is accounted for when the British Red Cross has entitlement to the funds, the amount can be quantified and there is certainty of receipt. Where income is received in advance of providing goods and/or services, it is deferred until the British Red Cross becomes entitled to that income. Unless there is evidence of uncertainty of receipt, residuary legacies are recognised from the date of probate where a reliable estimate of income can be made. Income from will or reversionary trusts is not recognised until the life interest has passed away. Income from pecuniary legacies is recognised upon notification. Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal income is recognised to the extent that resources have been committed on programmes funded through the DEC appeals. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated assets and services are included at the value to the British Red Cross where this can be reliably quantified. Donated services from our volunteers are not included within the financial statements.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
(f) Pensions The defined benefit pension scheme current service costs, together with the scheme interest cost less the expected return on the scheme assets for the year, are charged to the relevant expenditure heading within the consolidated statement of financial activities in line with the salary costs of the related employees. The defined benefit scheme assets are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis at the balance sheet date using the projected unit method and discounted at a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent term to the scheme liabilities. The change in value of assets and liabilities arising from asset valuation, changes in benefits, actuarial assumptions, or change in the level of deficit attributable to members is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial activities within actuarial gains/losses on defined benefit pension schemes. The resulting defined benefit asset or liability is presented separately on the face of the balance sheet. The British Red Cross recognises assets for its defined benefit pension schemes to the extent that they are considered recoverable with reference to expected future current service costs for active scheme members. Pension costs in respect of defined contribution schemes are charged to the consolidated statement of financial activities for the period in which they are payable. (g) Investments Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date and the consolidated statement of financial activities shows net investment gains and losses arising from revaluation of the investment portfolio and disposals during the year. (h) Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Provision is made for obsolete, slow-moving or defective stock where appropriate. Items donated for resale and distribution are not included in the financial statements until they are sold or distributed. Emergency stocks held for disaster response
are transferred from stock to resources expended when issued from the warehouse. (i) Value added tax Irrecoverable value added tax is allocated to the category of expenditure to which it relates. (j) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the British Red Cross has a legal or constructive financial obligation, that can be reliably estimated and for which there is an expectation that payment will be made. (k) Operating leases Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease terms, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are, similarly, spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where the period to the review date on which the rent is first expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate is shorter than the full lease term, in which case the shorter period is used. (l) Foreign currencies The British Red Cross uses forward exchange contracts to hedge some of its known foreign exchange exposure. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction, except where a forward contract is in place, in which case the rate specified in the contract is used. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into sterling at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date, except where a forward contract is in place, in which case the relevant asset/ liability is translated at the rate contained in the contract. Foreign exchange gains are recognised as other income and foreign exchange losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial activities within the relevant charitable activity expenditure for the period in which they are incurred.

Legacy income is not recognised until the British Red Cross has entitlement to the funds, the amount can be quantified and there is certainty of receipt. The estimated value of legacies, which have been notified, but not recognised at 31 December 2012 was 7.0 million (2011: 7.4 million) of which 6.0 million (2011: 6.4 million) are assets bequeathed to the British Red Cross, but subject to life tenancy. Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal income is recognised to the extent that resources have been committed on programmes funded through the DEC appeals. Subject to our agreed allocation, the value of DEC appeal income not drawn down or accrued for at 31 December 2012 was 0.2 million (2011: 2.6 million).

Expenditure plans have been agreed for all material restricted funds. Funds are held in appropriate asset categories in accordance with planned usage. 1.6 million was transferred from restricted funds to unrestricted funds, due to the restriction on funds received being met when stock was purchased. UK restricted funds UK restricted funds include: > 6.1 million of properties and other tangible fixed assets held for restricted purposes > a variety of local, national and European funding sources to deliver projects over the next 2-3 years > legacies with a geographical and/or service restriction. The balance of UK restricted funds is held for the provision of locally agreed services. International restricted funds Significant programmes of work are planned for the disbursement of international restricted fund balances as at 31 December 2012. Other international restricted funds include: > 2.3 million represented by net assets of the Overseas Branches > 2.4 million for response to the East Africa food crisis > 2.4 million for the second phase of our HIV and TB programme with the South African Red Cross > 0.6 million deficit for the DFID Uganda Reducing Risk and Strengthening Support programme. Disaster Fund The Disaster Fund allows us to prepare for and respond to humanitarian disasters abroad and in the UK. We fundraise specifically for the Disaster Fund and, as stated on emergency appeal materials, it can also contain funds donated to emergency appeals where we raise more than can be reasonably and efficiently spent on that specific response.

14. Pensions
British Red Cross staff are entitled to join the British Red Cross Group Personal Pension Plan provided by Legal & General. Staff had previously been entitled to join the British Red Cross Pension Fund (UK Office scheme), Scottish Branch British Red Cross Society Retirement Benefits Scheme (Scottish scheme) or the Pensions Trusts Growth Plan. These three schemes are all closed to new entrants. UK Office and Scottish defined benefit pension schemes The assets of these pension schemes are held in separate trustee-administered funds. The schemes are subject to triennial valuations with the last full valuation being carried out as at 31 December 2010 for the UK Office scheme and 1 January 2012 for the Scottish scheme. These valuations were updated at 31 December 2011 and 2012 by independent actuaries on a Financial Reporting Standard 17 Retirement Benefits (FRS 17) basis.

0.4 1.4 (1.8) (0.4) 0.7 (0.1) (1.6) (1.0) (0.6) (1.6)
The current service cost will increase as the members of the schemes approach retirement because the schemes are closed to new members. The assumptions underlying the FRS 17 calculation in respect of the Scottish scheme are now linked to the Consumer Price Index. This change in assumption has resulted in a credit of 0.2 million, which has been recognised within the actuarial loss in the Statement of Financial Activities.

14. Pensions (continued)
The latest triennial valuation for the Scottish scheme as at 1 January 2012 showed a deficit of 3.1 million. A pension deficit recovery plan is in place in respect of the Scottish scheme, which aims to eliminate the ongoing funding deficit by 2020. The additional employer contributions required from the Society as part of this recovery plan will be 0.4 million per annum, commencing in 2013. The Society expects to contribute 22.7 per cent per annum as a percentage of members salaries.

14. Pensions (continued) Other schemes
The British Red Cross also contributes to the British Red Cross Group Personal Pension Plan and other contribution schemes for certain employees. In 2012 the total cost of these contributions was 1.9 million (2011: 1 million). Staff were able to join the Pensions Trusts Growth Plan until April 2007. The Pensions Trusts Growth Plan is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. The assets of the scheme are co-mingled for investment purposes and as a result it is not possible to either break down scheme assets or analyse the ongoing funding deficit by individual employer. Accordingly, due to the nature of the plan, the accounting charge for the year under FRS 17 represents only the employer contribution payable. There is a contingent liability in the event that the British Red Cross were to withdraw its membership of the Pensions Trusts Growth Plan. The Pensions Trusts Growth Plans actuaries valued the withdrawal liability at 6.3 million as at 30 September 2011. This valuation has been rolled forward, assuming actuarial assumptions and membership are consistent, to 31 December 2012 resulting in an estimated 7.6 million contingent liability (2011: 6.5 million). The results of the Growth Plan scheme valuation as at 30 September 2011 show a deficit of 148 million. A recovery plan has been established which aims to eliminate the funding deficit over a period of 10 years from April 2013. The additional employer contributions required from the Society as part of this recovery plan will be 0.3 million per annum. The Society expects to contribute 1 per cent per annum as a percentage of members salaries. The British Red Cross and the Order of St John are jointly liable for the pension liabilities of the Joint Committee of the Order of St John of Jerusalem and British Red Cross Society (Joint Committee). The Joint Committee is a separate charity (charity no 225753) for the purposes of charity regulation. The Pensions Trusts Growth Plans actuaries valued the withdrawal liability at 2 million as at 30 September 2011. This valuation has been rolled forward, assuming actuarial assumptions and membership are consistent, to 31 December 2012 resulting in an estimated 2.1 million contingent liability (2011: 3 million). This liability became payable in January 2013 when the Joint Committee withdrew from the scheme. The Joint Committee holds assets of 1.1 million (2011: 1.1 million) which are held solely for settling the pension liability. The British Red Cross share of the liability is estimated at 0.6 million.
