## **Message from the Director of Osteopathy** 

I am pleased to report that the organisation remains in a strong financial position, thanks to the unwavering support of a major funder and the hard work of our Fundraising & Marketing Department. 

Over the past year, we have continued to deliver expert osteopathic care to babies, children, and pre- and postpartum women, maintaining our commitment to providing high-quality treatment to those who need it most. 

Looking ahead, we face the important task of recruiting osteopaths to support next year’s Paediatric Osteopathy course. At the same time, we are actively working on plans to expand the organisation’s educational offerings. This strategic growth will not only enhance our impact but also increase both our income and the number of practitioners benefiting from our expertise. 

I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to our small, dedicated, and highly efficient administrative team for their hard work throughout the year. Special appreciation is also due to our Senior Osteopaths, who have generously volunteered their time and expertise to further develop and deliver the education programme. 

**Stuart Korth (DO DPO FICO)** Trustee/Director of Osteopathy

## **What our patients say** 

“Dylan has been diagnosed with Rett’s syndrome since she was two years old, so we’ve been coming to the OCC since then. We’re real veterans and the treatment really helps her. We see a major difference in her wellbeing and how she performs her daily task after her treatments and that’s why we keep coming.” 

## **Dylan, 14 years old** 

“We’ve been coming since Jude was born. Jude has Down syndrome. So, we’ve been coming for kind of overall health. He comes about once a month, sometimes more regularly if he’s poorly. We just find it amazing for general health to just keep him active and busy, I think the treatment keeps him more well. He’s prone to chest infections so if we come here they keep the fluids moving and give him a real energy boost and just support his overall health and well-being.” 

## **Jude, 2 years old** 

“My daughter is 4 months old and we came in because she has issues with mobility and is not moving as she should be. The treating osteopath was excellent and very thorough. I was very happy with the attention and service we received. I feel great about bringing her here because there’s something about the OCC being a charity that makes me feel confident that people here want to do something good and care about the patients.” 

## **Anonymous, 4 months old** 

“I have also received treatment at the OCC. I was so stressed during my pregnancy with Albert because my pregnancy before him ended up in a still birth at 36 weeks. I had a lot of anxiety and worry during my pregnancy. The OCC treated me for trauma from the stillbirth. I was holding everything in and you could feel it in my chest and my lower back. The treatment was amazing. I felt amazing. I didn’t want it to end!”

**Our achievements** 

The charity’s primary goal for 2023–2024 was to continue providing osteopathic care, delivering courses in paediatric osteopathy, and maintaining a breakeven financial position. Thanks to the incredible generosity and commitment of our stakeholders, we successfully achieved these objectives. To everyone who has contributed their time and support to keeping the charity’s doors open, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. 

A special acknowledgment goes to our Director of Osteopathy, who selflessly dedicated over 300 hours of his time to administrative and teaching roles—tasks that would otherwise have required funding for a paid position. 

We also owe immense thanks to our eight volunteer osteopaths, who collectively contributed over 1,800 hours to support families unable to access private care. Their efforts have made an invaluable difference to those in need. 

The Managing Director’s tireless dedication deserves particular recognition. In addition to covering gaps in administrative staffing, her deep understanding of the charity’s financial needs has been instrumental in ensuring the organisation operates efficiently and effectively. 

For the financial year, the charity raised a total income of £512k, with an expenditure of £504k, compared to £477k and £463k, respectively, in the previous year.

a _Alexa receiving treatment_ 

## **Alexa** 

“Becoming a mother for the first time is both joyful and stressful. Alexa was my first child, and having her diagnosed with hip dysplasia so soon after being born was heartbreaking. Little Alexa was only eight weeks old when she started wearing a pelvic harness. 

I was devastated to see her in that condition at such an early age. After a few months it became clear the pelvic harness wasn’t helping, and we were told surgery was our last option 

We were visiting the NHS pediatrician regularly, and he raised serious concerns over her continued weight loss since the operation. It was at that moment I felt she needed extra attention. We visited the OCC and from the first moment we felt properly supported. Each time I was noticing an improvement in Alexa’s range of movement. She’s so much healthier now.”

## **1. Clinic - offering free paediatric osteopathic treatment** 

## **1.1 Clinic reach** 

The charity has continued its vital work, providing much-needed osteopathic care to families. Over the past year, we ran clinics three days a week across Camden, Wandsworth, and Hackney, supported by a dedicated team of 29 osteopaths, including 20 full-time-equivalent (FTE) post-graduates and 5 FTE volunteer osteopaths. 

We treated 2,736 patients and delivered 12,242 treatment sessions. Treatment sessions by borough were as follows: 

- Camden – 4,649 treatment sessions 

## 2,736 

babies, children and perinatal women received treatment, regardless of their ability to donate 

## 2,143 

new patients 

- Wandsworth– 4,108 treatment sessions 

- Hackney – 3,485 treatment sessions 

We have seen an increase of 12% in footfall and 14% in treatment sessions carried out. With our clinics operating at 90% capacity, we welcomed 2,143 new patients and 593 patients returning for follow up treatment. 

## 12,242 

treatment sessions were carried out to help disadvantaged babies, children and perinatal women in need of care in London 

## **Schiv** 

“Schiv has been coming to the OCC for 5 years. We were initially recommended by a family friend who had brought his girls years before. 

Schiv was diagnosed with Autism, has Global Development Delay, speech delays and had poor eyesight when we first started here some time ago. 

Of course Schiv still experiences these but there has been such a change in his behaviour and his communication especially. He’s very verbal now which is 100% a step in the right direction.”

## **1.2 Clinic donations** 

We are proud to offer our osteopathy services for free at the point of need, ensuring families from lowerincome backgrounds can access the care they need. To help sustain this vital work, we invite our patients to make donations where possible. 

However, the rising cost of living has affected the contributions we received. The average donation per clinic session decreased by 5%, to £19.85. Additionally, in 9% of our treatment sessions (923 sessions), patients were unable to contribute financially towards their care. 

We are monitoring this and are applying to charitable trusts for additional funding to help support patients who are unable to donate. 

Although the average clinic donation has decreased, our total donations and Gift Aid increased by 9% to £298k (up from £272k last year).  This growth was made possible by the increased number of treatment sessions we delivered. 

## **1.3 Patient analysis** 

This year, the majority of our patients were young children, with 53% of our patients being under 2 years old. Our treatment sessions were predominantly filled with children in need of treatment. 87% of consultations and treatment sessions were made up of children and the remaining 13% treatment sessions were made up of pregnant and postnatal patients. 

We saw patients with a wide range of conditions. Children coming in for treatment most frequently presented with gastrointestinal, genitourinary, orthopaedic or behavioural concerns. 

- 23% of our patients presented cases in genitourinary and gastrointestinal condition 

- 18% of patients were treated for a post-birth condition 

## **Level of donations** 

- 9% of patients donated (£0) (prev. 8%) 

- 26% of patients donated from £1 - £10 (prev. 21%) 

- 25% of patients donated from £11-£20 (prev. 26%) 

- 13% of patients donated from £21-£30 (prev. 13%) 

- 9% of patients donated from £31-£44 (prev. 20%) 

- 8% of patients donated £45 (prev. 1%) 

- 10% of patients donated from £46 or more (prev. 11%). 

This year it cost the organisation £84 to provide a one-hour new patient assessment, treatment and evaluation, and £42 for a 30 minute follow-up appointment. This year, 35% of patients were unable to donate more then £10, and 82% of our patients were unable to donate £42 per session. 

To bridge this gap and continue supporting families in need, we have applied to various Trusts and Foundations for funding.

## **1.4 Clinic referrals** 

During the year, 31% of our patients reported being referred to our clinic by a member of NHS staff and other health professionals, including midwives, breastfeeding clinics, lactation consultants, health visitors and GPs. This reflects the trust and confidence the medical community places in our ability to improve the daily lives of young patients. 

Word of mouth continues to be the primary way families learn about our clinic, demonstrating the high regard and appreciation for our work within the communities we serve. This year, our referrals are as follows: 

- 54% friends and family 

- 31% healthcare 

## **Ethan** 

“We’ve been coming to the OCC since Ethan was born, so for 18 years, and we see amazing results, especially over the different stages of his life and the complications that arise with those crucial development years. 

Ethan has Down’s Syndrome and coming here allows him to feel better in himself, work through emotions and generally any aches and pains he may have. 

I couldn’t recommend the OCC enough, they’ve been with us from the beginning and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

## **3. Fundraising & Marketing - raising critical income and awareness of the organisation’s work** 

We ended the year in a strong financial position raising £89.8k for 2024 and securing an additional £135k to support babies, children and perinatal women in 2025. In addition, the team successfully secured a number of multiyear funding agreements, ensuring more financial stability for the organisation in the years ahead. 

Several new funders were identified and relationships with current and previous funders strengthened. Going forward, the team will focus on diversifying income streams to create more opportunities for sustainable growth for the charity. 

Our efforts to increase visibility and promote paediatric osteopathy continued throughout the year. As part of this initiative, we began the process of rebuilding our website, with completion expected in early 2025. The new platform will provide an enhanced user experience, better accessibility to resources, and increased engagement with our services and supporters. 

## £89.8k 

We raised 89.9k to support disadvantages babies, children and perinatal women in London 

## £135k 

We ended 2024 in a strong position with £135k secured for 2025 and a number of multi-year funding agreements in place. 

## 12% 

This year, patient footfall increased by 12% 

## **4. Finance** 

## **4.1 How we raised our money** 

The charity has four sources of income – Clinic donations, Gift Aid, Fundraising and Education. 

A large proportion of our income (49%) comes from clinic donations. Although our patients are not charged for their appointments, as this is our main charitable activity, we ask for donations to help the charity continue to provide osteopathy to families from lower- income backgrounds. 

Many people have contributed to our work through donations in clinic, regular giving and volunteering their time or skills. We are, as ever, hugely grateful for all such contributions as well as the continued generosity of charitable trusts, companies and individuals, without which the Foundation would be unable to operate.

**4.2 How we spent our money** 

## **Objectives achieved** 

The charity’s focus for 2023-24 was to continue to breakeven financially, increase patient numbers and course offering.  This was achieved through increasing clinic footfall and treatment sessions and increasing our annual income. 

organisation and has increased the organisation’s visibility resulting in an increase in patient footfall in clinic. 

Our education department was able to rewrite the postgraduate courses starting 2023-24 and continued to provide continuous professional development courses to train osteopaths to an excellent clinical standard in paediatrics. 

We have been able to breakeven this year with the extra fundraising income raised (£89.8k) and an increase of 14% in patient treatment sessions carried out. Our annual income increased by 7.5% to £512k. Our expenditure was £504k, leaving a surplus of £7,765 at the end of the year. 

Through operating a pop-up clinic model, renting clinics in community centres, and moving to a more economical shared admin office space we have been able to keep costs low. Clinic donations have provided the charity with a steady flow of income. However, the increased cost of living has negatively affected our patient’s ability to donate resulting in a reduction in the average donation received in clinic. Despite this, we continue to encourage our patients to attend their appointments, and never turn away families requiring treatment who cannot afford to donate. 

With the support of 29 osteopaths, we were able to carry on clinic activities and treat families who could not otherwise afford private osteopathic care. 

Our Marketing and Fundraising team has secured new immediate and long-term funding opportunities for the

## **Looking ahead: plans for the year 2024-2025** 

## **Clinic** 

In 2023-24, staffing challenges and fewer applicants for training led to the difficult decision to close our Southfield clinic. Moving forward, in 2024-2025, we will concentrate on running two clinic days with osteopaths at our Warren Street and Shoreditch locations. The charity will focus on treating 2,160 patients through 8,640 treatment sessions. 

## 2,160 

We aim to treat 2,160 patients next year 

## **Education** 

We will continue to develop and expand our education programs and remain committed to maintaining the quality of our training. We will expand our CPD offerings, with 24 CPD days planned for the year, representing a 300% increase. The Education Development Committee will oversee course content and look for new ways to meet market demand. 

## **Awareness** 

We will continue to build on the charity’s strengths, focusing on raising awareness of our clinic and the services we provide. Our marketing efforts will include a combination of digital campaigns and in-person outreach. 

## 8,640 

We aim to provide 8,640 treatment sessions next year

We plan to expand our Continuous Professional Development offering by 300% and run 24 CPD days.

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Remuneration** 

The salaries of all staff are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that where appropriate they take account of the rise in the cost of living. In October 2023-24 staff were given the standard pay rise of 3%. All salaries were benchmarked against similar charities in 2023-24 and found to be within an acceptable range. 

## **Appointment of Board of Directors** 

## **Pensions** 

The Directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Board of Directors. 

Under the requirements of the Articles of Association at every Annual General Meeting, one-third or if their numbers cannot be divided by three, the number nearest to one-third of the Directors, shall retire from office but may offer themselves for reappointment by the Members. 

The Directors to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. For persons who were appointed or last reappointed on the same day, those to retire shall be determined by drawing lots (unless they agree otherwise among themselves). A Director appointed since the previous Annual General Meeting shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation. All Trustees are volunteers and represent a range of backgrounds and experiences. 

New Trustees are invited and receive an induction from the committee to acquaint them with charitable company’s policies, practices, its aims, activities, management and governance, as is expected under charity law and the Charity Commission’s guidance and publications. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance of the charity. The Managing Director is responsible for the day to day management of the charity’s affairs, its future development and for implementing policies agreed by the Trustees, assisted by other staff. The Director of Osteopathy (co-founder Stuart Korth) is responsible for the care and safety of patients. 

All staff are enrolled in an auto-enrolled in an autoenrolment pension scheme, currently held by Nest and Friends. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees regularly review the major financial, operational and reputational risks which the charity faces. With overall responsibility for the charity and its systems of internal control, the Trustees ensure there are reasonable procedures in place to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. It is noted that such procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance against errors and fraud. 

Senior staff are expected to identify and analyse risks relating to their area of work and report on the procedures which are in place, being developed or reviewed to minimize their likely impact on the charity. 

Particular risks we anticipate include the more difficult funding landscape facing smaller charities like ours. Although we are not in receipt of EU or UK government funding, the loss of these funds to other organisations will inevitably put increased pressure on other funding sources. As a small charity with no extra fundraising resource, and the increased expectations of many Trusts and Foundations asking for significant amounts of planning, documentation and evidence before the proposal stage, we feel this is one of our most significant risks in the coming years. Succession planning and the loss of continuity and expertise through staff turnover remains a risk, as does the increased competition from our own postgraduate osteopaths for wealthier patients who may be in a better position to make donations to the charity.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
