Restore - Burn and Wound Research
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 5 April 2022
The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 9 and comply with the charity’s Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Structure, governance and management
The charity is constituted under a Trust Deed dated 10 July 1991 as amended by a supplemental deed dated 3 March 1994 and is a registered charity, number 1003899.
The Trustees who have served during the year are shown on page 1. Trustees are recruited and appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees meet three times during each financial year.
The Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust, the Bristol Hospitals NHS Trust or Oxford University employ the Research Fellows and Assistants and are responsible for their remuneration. The NHS Trusts and Oxford University then invoice Restore for these costs.
The Trustees are the key management personnel of the charity.
Trustees Training
We use the Charity Commission’s documents on Trustee Responsibility for guidance.
New Trustees are provided with full information on the Trust’s activities and funding.
Trustees are provided with regular reports on the research by the Directors of Research and the Director of Clinical Studies.
Objectives and Activities for the public benefit
The object of the charity is the promotion of research into the treatment of burns and reconstructive surgery.
The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
The Trust carries out these objects by funding research as described above and in the Achievements and Performance paragraph below.
Achievements and Performance
Although there have been challenges over the past year due to the pandemic, Restore continues to contribute to important work in burns and scarring.
1. Burns Cooling
The experimental model we have developed as part of this project has received interest as a method for the assessment of topical anti-inflammatories. We initiated a new collaboration with CaroCell Bio, an Innovate UK-funded biotech, which has developed novel peptides capable of reducing inflammation. Miss Mina Ip, a plastic surgery trainee, has completed a year as a clinical research fellow fully funded by CaroCell to work on this in association with Restore and under the direct supervision of Prof Fadi Issa and Miss Alex Murray. During this year she has obtained ethical approval to restart the human burn model, and provided Carocell with tissues samples on which to assess their novel anti-inflammatory peptide. Work is ongoing, and a new fellow, Mr. Alex Baldwin, will now be taking over this work with additional funding from Carocell for a further 4 months in the first instance.
2. Scaling-up of Keratinocyte Expansion for the Treatment of Large Burn Wounds
This work, led by Dr Patricia Perez Esteban at Aston University, continues to investigate methods for enhanced expansion of human skin cells using bioreactor culture systems. A PhD student has been appointed to the project, funded through the EPSRC and jointly supervised by Prof Issa and Dr Esteban.

Achievements and Performance (continued)
3. Immune Modulation for Burns Reconstruction
This work was initially led by our research fellow Dr Rebeca Arroyo Hornero and published in Communications Biology (a Nature journal). The project aims to develop a regulatory T cell therapy that can prevent skin graft rejection for use in cases where skin transplantation may be required after severe burn injury. The project now continues with our fellow Sabrina Wright who is in the final year of her degree at the University of Oxford. Due to COVID-related delays, Restore secured additional funding from the MRC to allow the work to be completed over the coming year. Sabrina has developed methodologies to modify the cell therapy using a gene editing strategy that enhances the potency and specificity of these therapy, allowing for lower doses to be used.
4. Scar assessment
Miss Daisy Ryan has completed her role as an RCS Blond-McIndoe 1-year Fellow, working on the assessment of scar outcomes after burns using both patient and clinician-reported outcome measures (PROMs and CROMs). Daisy has worked with the Clinical Psychology team to determine the factors that may be responsible for worse PROM and CROM scores after injury. Daisy has submitted her thesis and is awaiting her oral examination in the autumn.
5. The BEST Project
Mr Riyam Mistry has now been awarded an MSc by Research at the University of Oxford for this work. Riyam developed a clinical protocol for the BEST project and gained ethical approval, facilitating future work using the model. Riyam has published two papers, both in Frontiers in Surgery (April 2022 and September 2022). Further work in this area will require additional funding, and we are applying to the VTCT for this. In the meantime, Mr Alex Baldwin, our current clinical research fellow (see point 1), is dedicating time to re-establishing the project following Riyam’s departure.
6. Other news
We have a new social media fellow, Katie Driver, who is assisting our junior fellow, Jasmine Bailey, who has started her first job as a Foundation Doctor and is therefore unable to commit as much time as previously. A new competition will shortly be advertised for medical students/junior doctors to design a Burns Awareness poster which we hope will be ready in time for Burns Awareness Day in October. The Essay prize will be advertised following completion of the Poster competition.
The website continues to be updated with news and new publications.
Financial review
The charity received donations and legacies during the year of £3,982 (2021: £2,651). Total income during the year was £30,982 (2021: £3,651), and an amount of £32,637 (2021: £20,530) was expended resulting in net expenditure of £1,655 (2021: £16,879). Gains on investments amounted to £10,926 (2021: Gains on investments amounted to £28,643) resulting in an overall surplus for the year of £9,271 (2021: surplus of £11,764).
This amount was comprised of an increase of £26,413 on restricted funds, an increase of £76,766 on unrestricted funds and a transfer from the expendable endowment funds of £104,834 to the unrestricted funds.
Investment performance and policy
The charity’s investments increased in value during the year by £10,926 (2021: increase in value of £28,643) and a further £nil (2021: £30,000) of investments were disposed of. The Trustees consider their investments to be sufficiently diversified to protect the capital base of the charity in the long term.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Restore - Burn and Wound Research
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Restore – Burn and Wound Research Charity (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2022, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Restore - Burn and Wound Research
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Restore - Burn and Wound Research (continued)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiry of management, and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Restore - Burn and Wound Research
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 5 April 2022
1 Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. These accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis and include income and expenditure as they are earned or incurred, rather than as cash is received or paid. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
b) Income
Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
c)
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
d) Governance costs
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life as follows:
Computer and other equipment – 25% reducing balance
f)
Fixed asset investments
Investments are included at fair value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation or on disposal is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
g)
Funds
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects.
Restricted funds are funds which have been given for particular purposes as specified by the donor.
Expendable endowment funds are restricted income funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
h) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
