## **TOURETTE SYNDROME (UK) ASSOCIATION TRADING AS TOURETTES ACTION** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

Tourette Syndrome (UK) Association trading as Tourettes Action is a charity formed in 1981 to provide support to people living with the neurological disorder known as Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome and their families and operates as Tourettes Action. 

The Charity was incorporated in 1991, although the head office of the charity is in Farnborough, staff are located throughout the UK and as such provide support to people throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Tourettes Action (TA) also has links with other Tourette Syndrome Societies throughout the UK, Europe, the United States and Canada. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Mission and objectives** 

Tourettes Action provides support to those living with and affected by Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome through a wide range of support services. 

## **What is Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome?** 

Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, known more commonly as Tourette Syndrome (TS or Tourette’s) typically starts around the age of 6/7 years and tends to peak around early adolescence.  It is a complex, genetically determined neurological condition of which the key features are tics, which are involuntary movements or sounds.  A large number of people with the condition will also experience co-occurring features and conditions. Tourette’s is a life-long condition, however around 50% of adults report that their symptoms have reduced following adolescence but will wax and wane (come and go) throughout their life. 

Research shows that 1% of the school age population has TS to some degree, and that at least 300,000 children and adults require support for their condition. A major issue for many is to receive a firm diagnosis that they do indeed have TS, and a major activity for the future is to increase knowledge so that a diagnosis can be given. 

Tourette’s is perhaps the most publicly misunderstood of all the neurological conditions, many people think Tourette’s is a swearing condition that is behavioural. Although it is true that ‘coprolalia’ – the clinical term for involuntary swearing – is a symptom of TS, it doesn't affect everyone and it is **NOT** a criteria for diagnosis.  It can however be one of the most difficult tics to manage.  Many people see Tourette's as comical and not that serious, when in reality it can be an extremely debilitating condition. 

People with TS have both involuntary vocal (sounds) and motor (movements) tics, which often cause embarrassment and great pain depending on the severity of the tic. A small number of people cause themselves significant physical harm as a consequence of their tics. There is no specific medication for the cure or total control of TS. Treatments use a variety of drugs to minimise the worst effects with varying degrees of success, and for a very few Deep Brain Stimulation may prove useful. Psychological treatments including CBiT (Comprehensive Behaviour Intervention for Tics) is a tool that helps people with Tourette’s manage their tics.

## **What is Tourettes Action?** 

Tourettes Action works in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and is the leading support and research charity for people with Tourette Syndrome and their families. 

Tourettes Action want people with Tourette Syndrome to receive the practical support and social acceptance they need to help them live their lives to the full. 

## **Covid-19 pandemic** 

The impact of covid continued throughout this financial year, with many face-to-face events continuing to run virtually.  Our priority was to ensure that our services continued or adapted where necessary, in-line with covid restrictions. The following measures were put in place to support this: 

- Staff continued working mostly from home. 

- Face to face meetings and activities conducted virtually. 

- Provided support via online groups and webinars to our service users when covid restrictions prevented otherwise. 

## **Our Main Activities** 

- Raise awareness through the production of written and other published materials to improve the knowledge and understanding of TS. Tourettes Action is the go-to organisation in the UK for information on TS. 

- Advocating for those living from TS to the statutory authorities e.g. schools and the health service, together with press and other media to improve the lives of those with TS. 

- Provision of helpline support by phone, email and an online live chat service providing information and support to people with TS and their families. 

- Running a befriending service to support people living with TS. 

- Providing educational support and advice to schools, teachers and parents. 

- Holding conferences, meetings and seminars on topics of interest to people with TS and their families.  These were largely carried out online during the current financial year. 

- Encouraging and assisting research into all aspects of TS and disseminating the results as widely as possible. 

- Facilitating online support groups to bring together individuals to provide fellowship both for themselves and their families. 

- Providing workshops and activities for the enjoyment and development of those with TS.  These continued to be carried out online in the form of webinars and online groups. 

- Liaising with medical specialists in the TS field and offering advice to people living with TS as to the availability of specialist units, consultants and therapists. 

- Offering small grants to individuals for the purchase of equipment and other items which will ameliorate the effects of TS. 

- Running weekend residential events throughout the year where people with TS and their families can come together to build personal confidence, resilience and a sense of community. 

- Funding research into TS.  Our programme has remained suspended for this financial year due to funding restrictions, however we continue to monitor the progress of grants awarded in prior years. 

All of these activities are carried out in accordance with Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and are designed to ensure that we continue to operate for the Public Benefit.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **SUZANNE DOBSON, Chief Executive 2009-2021** 

Suzanne Dobson, the CEO for more than a decade, sadly died on 21[st] July 2021 after a short illness. Suzanne led the charity through a remarkable period of transformation and growth for which not only the trustees but countless people with TS across the UK are very grateful. During this sad and difficult period, the charity continued to run without a CEO, relying heavily on the trustees to steer the charity, until a new CEO, Emma McNally, was appointed at the end of January 2022. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Since 1981 Tourettes Action's main aim has been to support people living with TS from pre diagnosis through the diagnosis, treatment and management of the condition. Despite working to reduce the stigma surrounding TS, those living with the condition are aware that it is still one of the most stigmatised of the neurological conditions bringing distress to those with the condition as well as their family and friends. In all that we do, we aim to increase awareness and bring about acceptance for those living with TS, hoping to one day eradicate this stigma. 

Our helpdesk is our main method of personal support, offering guidance and sign posting to people with TS and those supporting them.  The LiveChat service continues to be the most popular method of supporting people, with over 1,200 LiveChat conversations throughout this financial year. In addition to this, we also had more than 900 people contacting us via our call back service, emails, and social platforms. We are very grateful for the efforts of our small but dedicated group of volunteers who help to run these services along with staff members. 

Covid-19 restrictions remained in place for a lot of the year and many feeling uneasy about meeting face to face, we continued supporting our service users with online groups and webinars. Even when restrictions started to ease, the need for these groups and services remained high. 

A range of online groups were held for teens with TS, adults with TS, parents of children with TS, and for dads and male role models of those with TS. We facilitated 174 online groups during this period, with many people reattending weekly for support and fellowship. 

We held a series of informative and educational webinars during the year, which were attended by almost 700 people. 

Our website continues to be a major source of information for people and we continue to update the site and improve the content. During this period our website was visited 182,480 times, compared to 176,495 in the previous financial year.  The website continues to be cited as the main source of reliable information about TS and its associated conditions.  We strive constantly to ensure that information is up to date and, although we don't give medical advice, we ensure that the options which might be offered at a clinic visit are fully explained.  All of the information is freely downloadable and we continue to believe that this access to information is vital. The website also provides an important platform for the TS community by way of a Blog page and YouTube video channel, where people can share their personal stories, giving inspiration to those on a similar journey. 

We continue to promote our website content, along with research news, fundraising campaigns, events, webinars and training, through our social media platforms and our monthly newsletter.  As of March 2022, our newsletter subscribers totalled 4716, in comparison to 3636 subscribers at the end of March 2021. During this period, we put a lot of effort into our social media channels and as of March 2022 we had 9187 followers on Facebook, 5255 followers on Twitter and 3532 followers on Instagram, a large increase from the previous year, enabling us to reach a new demographic of people. 

The need for information and support for students in school is as high as ever.  Schools continued to experience a high incidence of pupils presenting with the sudden onset of severe tics and many also reported that anxiety following the pandemic was causing heightened tics for many within the TS community.  Our Education Manager has spent many hours helping teachers and parents to support children struggling within school. During this period, we were contacted 1167 times from schools and 996 from parents regarding support around education and how best to support those with TS in the school environment. 

Our support around TS and reasonable adjustments that can help has also been requested from children’s homes, community centres, wellbeing centres, social services, sports clubs and behaviour support units.  This is great news as we are now getting support to children with TS in all settings, not just schools. 

Page 3 



We have continued to develop new content for the website including a free online teacher training presentation. Individualised training is also provided to schools, during this period we have delivered 37 bespoke school training sessions. 

Our Tourettes ID cards are still very popular, we issued 220 this financial year. Users often told us that the cards gave them confidence to go out and travel alone. 

We were pleased that this year we were able to reinstate our residential weekend events to support people with TS and their families following them previously being cancelled due to the pandemic. 

We delivered 8 events: 

- 4 TICfest events – residential family weekends for children with Tourette Syndrome 

   - 187 children (including siblings) attended from 105 families 

- 2 AdultFest events – residential weekends for adults with Tourette Syndrome 

   - 90 adults attended the weekends 

- 2 TeenFest events – residential weekends for teenagers with Tourette Syndrome to attend alone without their parent or carer 

   - 22 teens attended the weekends 

All our residential events allow the individuals to fully relax and associate with others in a similar situation, providing exciting physical challenges with some quieter activities as well as some psychosocial education sessions. 

Of all the events we run, the fest events continue to impact positively on participants lives. 85% of children attending the TICfest events state they had made significant progress in improving relationships with their peers following the fest event and 94% stating that their confidence has increased since attending. 

We are very grateful to all of our regular donors who continue to support us with financial contributions, even during these times of economic pressures. We were especially grateful for a substantial multi-year donation from the Hofmeyr family, which will enable us both to increase the scope and impact of our campaigning as well as substantially expand and improve our offering of weekend residential events. 

As some of the restrictions of the pandemic eased, we were able to focus more on our fundraising channels and as such a little over £68,000 was raised by our amazing fundraisers at our fundraising events.  Our fundraising activities included: The London Marathon, the Virtual Marathon, LLHM, Festival of Gaming, Move for Tourettes and Facebook birthday fundraisers. 

During the year, we received grants and donations for more than £146,000 from a variety of  trusts and funders including BBC Children in Need, The National Lottery Community Fund, Garfield Weston Foundation, Rushmoor Borough Council, Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust, Speedomick Foundation, 29th May 1961 Charity, Marsh Charitable Trust, James Tudor Foundation, Annie Tranmer Charitable Trust, Masonic Charitable Foundation, Lillie Johnson Charitable Trust, Grocers Charity, Hospital Saturday Fund, TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation, D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust and St James’s Place Foundation. 

Due to the ongoing support of a very generous benefactor, we continue to be able to offer small grants for items, which help people to manage their TS. During this period we issued 6 grants for things such as mixing decks, singing lessons, an iPad and pen and a trampoline, all of which helped the individuals manage the symptoms of TS.

## **Research Grants** 

Our research support programme remains suspended for new applications due to lack of funding, but we continue to support and monitor progress on research projects previously committed 

We have however continued to promote research studies on our website and social media to engage participants. This period we promoted 8 such studies: 

- Using Online communities for TS & Tic Disorders – Nottingham University 

- Producing resources for mental health and wellbeing – Oxford University 

- Eating behaviours in adults with TS – University of Herts 

- The voice: Mechanisms of Identity and Change – UCL 

- Pain and Tics – Nottingham University 

- Exploring the views of school staff and parents of children with TS with regards to the support schools provide – Cardiff University 

- Research into how movement control develops in TS – Nottingham University 

- Research highlighting safety requirements of Neurodiverse fans at live sporting events – National Centre for social research 

- An investigation into parents’ experiences of adolescent sudden onset of tics – University of Herts 

We are particularly excited about a project that TA has part-funded, led by Professor Stephen Jackson at Nottingham University to develop a wrist-worn device providing an imperceptible electrical stimulation that can have the effect of significantly reducing tics in the wearer. The prototype consumer device has been designed and will be taken through trials and, if successful, produced for use by Neurotherapeutics Ltd, a spin-out company at the University of Nottingham. 

## **What next?** 

We surveyed our service users at the start of 2022, when our new CEO joined us and we have used this feedback to clarify our areas of focus going forward as the following: 

- Continue to raise awareness of what is still a very misunderstood condition 

- Provide support and training within schools, college and university and within the workplace 

- Push for health service improvements, as many with TS still struggle to access a diagnosis and follow-on support 

- Provide support at ground level for those living with and affected by TS 

These four things will be at the forefront of all that we do going forward. 

To deliver these effectively we will need to bring in new initiatives and new staff members to support these and part of these will be financed from existing reserves. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

During the year Unrestricted funds increased by £91,954 to £402,174 mainly due to reductions in all areas of expenditure and the absence of a CEO for a period of 6 months, whilst there was an increase of £105,194 to £210,798 in Restricted funds. 

As mentioned above with the new initiatives we are planning the current level of unrestricted funds will reduce in the coming years. 

We still continue to hold a minimum of six months expenditure as reserves as we continue to have a high reliance on the generous support of a small number of donors. 

## **Preparation of the accounts on a Going concern basis** 

The Trustees are confident that Tourettes Action has sufficient funding to enable it to undertake all of its activities over the next year and on that basis the charity is a going concern. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

Tourettes Syndrome (UK) Association, trading as Tourettes Action, ('the charity' or 'TA'), is a company limited by guarantee and as such is governed by its Memorandum and Articles. It was incorporated on 23 May 1991. 

Page 5 



## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Trustee Board** 

The charity is governed by the Trustee Board, which sets the strategy of the charity, ensures compliance with its charitable objectives, approves the business plan and budget annually and monitors the ongoing operational and financial performance of the charity. 

Trustees are appointed after a formal recruitment process, as vacancies arise, by vote of the full Trustee Board at the AGM. Trustees are appointed for a three-year term that may be renewed twice by approval of the Board. 

Recruitment of trustees is carried out with an explicit view to optimising the balance of skills and experience available to the Board. In particular, the Board seeks to ensure it has representation from people living with TS and/or their families; people with a clinical or scientific interest and expertise in TS, as well as people with business, strategic, financial and other functional skills. 

The Trustee Board meets at least four times annually. 

## **Board Committees** 

The board maintains two sub-committees. The _Financial and General Purpose Committee (F & GP)_ that meets with greater frequency than the full Trustee Board. The _Research Sub-committee (RSC)_ that meets only to consider the grant applications. 

## **Finance and General Purposes Committee (F&GP)** 

The F&GP is chaired by the Hon.Treasurer and meets ahead of Board meetings, and at other times, and operates a delegated mandate to assist the Chief Executive in preparing budgets; to monitor financial performance by detailed review of monthly management accounts; to assist the Chief Executive in arranging and facilitating the annual independent examination and preparation and publication of statutory accounts. 

The F&GP also supports the work of the Chief Executive in a wide range of operational areas including, but not limited to, HR and staffing issues, administration issues and office moves. 

## **Research Sub-Committee (RSC)** 

TA's annual research funding programme was suspended during the last financial year due to an unforeseen downturn in funding and as yet has not been restarted. Proposals for funding of clinical, academic scientific or social scientific work towards the understanding, management and potential cure of TS are solicited annually. To assist the Trustee Board in determining which proposals should be funded by TA, the RSC, chaired by a trustee, operates a delegated mandate to make recommendations to the Trustee Board after evaluating proposals by peer review and by reference to an expert external committee of scientific advisors, the Science Advisory Board (SAB). The RSC meets at key stages of the funding round to ensure that research proposals are fully evaluated in time for the Board to allocate grants. 

TA monitors the ongoing performance and outcomes of the projects in which it has invested. 

## **Advisers** 

In addition to the SAB (above), TA is in the process of establishing an external advisory panel of experts in a range of areas who support the aims of TA and who are willing to place their expertise at the disposal of TA from time to time without becoming members of the formal governance structure of the charity. Appointment to this advisory group will be made from time to time by the Trustee Board. 

## **Risk Management** 

Risk management is a central responsibility of the Trustee Board. 

TA adopts a structured formal approach to the identification and management of risk. A Risk Register is prepared by the CEO and reviewed, updated as necessary, and approved by the Trustee Board annually. It identifies risks under a range of key headings including: Governance, Operations, Finance, Funding, Management, Legal, and Reputation. 

Each risk is assessed for Probability and Impact to produce a Gross Risk Score. Each risk is subject to mitigation and controls. The effect of mitigation and control is formally assessed and applied to the Gross Risk Score producing the Net Risk Position for each identified risk.
