Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
Objects and Activities of the Charity
Bath Institute for Rheumatic Diseases (BIRD) is an incorporated charity. Its objectives, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are to relieve sickness and to promote and advance medical knowledge with particular reference to rheumatic diseases; and to undertake research in relation thereto and to publish the useful results of such research. BIRD funds research and education into all areas of rheumatology and all types of bone and joint disorder.
Response to the continuing Covid pandemic and economic climate
The Covid 19 pandemic continued to shape BIRD’s operations during the period covered by this report. Most live events (patient engagement days and Education seminars for Healthcare Professionals, also the annual fundraising/awareness raising event) were cancelled and the office was closed. Consultant Trustees and other healthcare professionals on BIRD’s committees, undertaking research and acting as podcast and webinar speakers were extremely busy addressing the backlog in patients.
The education programme for consultants, GPs, nurses and physiotherapists was also partly delivered online. And staff continued to work mainly from home.
We finish the financial year £117,000 ahead of last year on total funds. Income was up by a third, due to fundraising efforts, and expenditure was reduced to 80% of previous year mainly because of an unintended reduction in grant giving (being dependent on the quality of grant applications we receive, not all make it through the approval process). There was also an exceptional credit item of £41,895 in the accounts, which represents a cancelled project grant and an underspend in a grant from a previous year. The growth in the value of our investments grew by £132,320.
Grants awarded for Research
BIRD funds research projects in rheumatic diseases which:
-
Help to promote and advance medical knowledge
-
Improve treatments for patients
-
Encourage collaboration between clinicians and research scientists
-
Supports the next generation of researchers into bone and joint diseases
The focus is on pump prime funding for smaller projects, undertaken in or from Bath for the benefit of patients worldwide.
The guideline for grant amounts is up to £20,000 (but greater amounts may be considered) that would be ideally suited to pilot studies, preliminary research, tests of clinical effectiveness or would enable other grants to be made for research.
Recent evaluation of BIRD’s research grant programme since 2016 confirmed that it has achieved its intended functions of promoting and advancing medical science, pump-priming research, helping researchers in the early stages of their careers, helping clinicians to be research active, encouraging collaborations between clinicians and research scientists, and ensuring patients are involved in research.
Projects funded by BIRD are often highly collaborative, with researchers and clinicians working together to address challenges in rheumatic diseases.
Since 2016 BIRD has funded over 20 projects, with at least 20 published academic papers and 537 patients involved in a meaningful way, helping to advance medical science, with grants generating at least 20 academic publications so far.
In total, £55,047 was awarded:
-
£14,695 to Dr Anita McGrogan and Dr Rachel Charlton for research into medication use during pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes in women with chronic inflammatory disease.
-
£19,766 to Dr William Tillett for research into identifying support needs for rheumatology patients following COVID-19 shielding.
-
£17,950 to Dr Sarah Tansley for researching novel biomarkers in Juvenile Dermatomyositis.
-
£2082 to Dr Sarah Tansley as the final instalment

BIRD took forward the first phase of recommendations from the previous year’s research grant evaluation report by:
-
Introducing a light touch process for capturing evidence of mid- to long term impact of its funding, capturing publications, follow on funding and real-world impact at 3- and 5-years post project points
-
Encouraging proposals from allied health professionals
-
Adding a panel member with social sciences/ qualitative research expertise to the Research Committee
-
Exploring ways of telling stories about funded research, for example, capturing testimonies of patients involved in research through case studies
BIRD’s education programme for Healthcare Professionals
BIRD organised a wide-ranging programme for the continued education and training of healthcare professionals, working closely with a range of health and education providers, including the Royal United Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, the University of Bath and the Bath GP Education & Research Trust.
The programme was attended by Consultants, Clinical Staff, Academic and Clinical Researchers, GPs, Nurse Practitioners and Primary Care Healthcare Professionals.
BIRD provided the administration, support, including the accreditation and sponsorship where necessary, for educational events reaching 357 healthcare professionals, significantly up from 254 last year and 300 the year before. Some face-to-face sessions, alongside online delivery were reinstated in hybrid sessions.
Each of the training sessions was approved for accreditation by either the Royal College of Physicians or the Bath GP Education & Research Trust (depending on whether the attendees came from primary or secondary care) which enabled them to gain continuing professional development credits.
Five Rheumatology Research group meetings were held, bringing together researchers at the University and clinicians at the hospital to update one another on two new projects at a time. This meeting was renamed Bath Inflammation and Immunology Research Group.
The South West CTD & Vasculitis Meeting was held on 21 September 2021.
The Regional South-West Osteoporosis Meeting was held on 16 November 2021.
The South West Axial Spondyloarthritis Group was held on 23 November 2021.
The Primary Care Rheumatology Update afternoon was held on 29 March 2022.
Qualitative feedback collected from some of the sessions showed that participants rated talks either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ with most comments finding the training “helpful” and a useful update, eg “a good summary reminding me of salient topics” and “brilliant afternoon with varied and interesting presentations”. Participants had plenty of learning points to share with colleagues.
The Education Programme was led by Dr Andrew Allard, consultant rheumatologist, and Fran Staples, Senior Administrator BIRD.

The Patient and Public Engagement Programme
Our vision was restated during the year ‘to help more patients to be involved in research and deepen their understanding of Rheumatic Diseases, the latest research and treatment’. With twin aims of:
1. Patients have a deeper knowledge of Rheumatic Diseases, helping to lessen anxiety and increase confidence to self-manage and communicate with their healthcare professionals
2. Patients are involved in research, helping to inform and share the patient perspective with researchers to ensure the aims are true to need
Led by patient engagement expert Mel Brooke since 2016, the programme has continuously evolved and developed around patient audience needs. It provides opportunities for them to connect, learn and share through a flexible and innovative mix of media.
Podcasts covering a range of rheumatology conditions, these now reach thousands of patients and their families, across the country (and beyond) heavily promoted on social media. Over the year Mel Brooke produced 15 new podcasts bringing the library to 35 and achieving an amazing 3,950 listens. New topics covered were Osteoarthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, self-management and wellbeing topics of fatigue, sleep and social prescribing.
Webinars were introduced for the first time, providing live events online that give patients access to consultants and experts’ presentations and the opportunity to ask questions. 48 patients attended these first webinars.
Research - patients tell us they are keen to ‘give back’ and get involved in research, mainly through taking part in surveys and questionnaires circulated but also through focus groups, workshops and other participation. Over 2,600 patients were invited to
participate and 251 patients got involved in research during the year.
Patient Research Panel - 21 committed enthusiasts provided feedback on survey design and research opportunities to academic and clinical researchers during the year Patient centered culture We work hard to understand and accommodate patient needs and provide what is meaningful to them, through formative survey, feed back and involvement in the governance of BIRD. Two new cases studies were produced to tell patients’ stories.
Impacts
8,826 podcast listens in the two-year period April 2020 to April 2022
76% of listeners to podcasts understood their condition better as result
85 % reported increased confidence to live with their condition
85% felt empowered to make decisions about their treatments
75% reported that hearing voices of clinicians and healthcare practitioners was reassuring
58% reported the podcasts a help to their mental health - they felt supported, less isolated and part of a community
Patients said:
‘I learnt a great deal about my condition and about possible ways to help myself. I was able to recognise and adapt some of the wider potential impacts of life and health choices’
‘The more we as patients understand about Psoriatic Arthritis, the more effectively we can manage our condition’
‘All useful, especially identifying with fellow sufferers’
‘Everything was really interesting, educational and inspirational’
‘My main motivation to participate in research opportunities is to hopefully help future generations and the current understanding of rheumatic diseases’.

Awareness raising
The reach of BIRD continued to expand through ongoing investment in Facebook advertising for the podcasts, with over 200,000 people getting the opportunity to see a BIRD advertisement for the podcasts.
Effort spent in seeking to attract grants from pharmaceutical companies for the Patient Engagement programme began to pay off, and resulted in £43,000 in grants and awards. This was largely due to the excellent performance of the podcasts and advertising them widely on social media, which attracted thousands of listeners.
In November 2021 BIRD was delighted to win the international Amgen UPLIFT Innovation Challenge worth $25,000 for its development of digital support for patients. Other pharmaceutical funders were Eli Lilly and Company Ltd and UCB.
76% of listeners to podcasts understood their condition better as result. 251 patients participated in research, and over 2,600 were invited to participate.
Awareness raising continued to grow through advertising, e-newsletter engagement and stakeholder relations with the University and Hospital.
Fundraising was greatly more than doubled, largely thanks to pharmaceutical grants but also thanks to the efforts of individuals.
Overall, the charity’s beneficiaries: scientific academia and patients, carers and their families benefited from better understanding of rheumatic diseases and their treatment, thereby contributing to the alleviation of suffering.
Further grants were awarded to the Patient and Public Engagement programme by the Champniss Charitable Trust, HealthWatch B&NES, Renishaw, The Saturday Hospital Fund, and the Siddons Charitable Trust.
Dr Ben Mulhearn ran the Palma half marathon and raised £1207 and a team of MBA students from the University of Bath raised £820 for BIRD’s research funds.
The main achievements and performance of the charity in terms of public benefit
The total amount of grants awarded for research into rheumatic diseases was £55,047 .
357 professionals attended BIRD training sessions, meetings and events for consultants, clinicians, healthcare professionals, researchers and academics.
3,950 listens to podcasts for patients and 511 registered for newsletters. The total network reached via mailings and social media ad postings was estimated at almost 200,000 patients and members of the public.

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
BIRD’s reserves policy is to
-
Hold 12 months of planned expenditure as readily accessible reserves to ensure continued financial security and to provide for contingencies; and,
-
Retain sufficient in investments to maintain its grant giving capacity and educational programme.
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity’s assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.
The aim of the investment strategy is to provide sufficient income and capital growth to provide a total return above the rate of inflation, over time, such that a proportion can be used for research or to support the charitable aims, whilst at the same time maintaining the real value of the portfolio. The objective is a ‘balanced’ return between income and capital, at medium risk over a time horizon of ten years plus.
Both capital and income may be used at any time for the furtherance of the charity’s aims and therefore the portfolio is managed on a total return basis.
Ethical considerations: The ethical policy broadly follows that of the University of Bath. The trustees have precluded direct investment in tobacco. The trustees reserve the right to exclude companies that carry out activities contrary to their aims or from holding particular investments which damage the Charity’s reputation.
The objectives are to be achieved by investing prudently in a broad range of equities, fixed interest securities and collective vehicles (like unit trusts) which are appropriately authorised. Dividends and interest are paid away on a quarterly basis.
understand their disease and treatment better and, with renewed focus, hundreds to engage with research. It will also continue to maintain and develop the education programme for healthcare professionals.
The Patient Engagement programme will continue to evolve, as digital offerings develop and ways to help patients get involved in research develop. The programme will also seek to help researchers work with patients. Ongoing evaluation and patient input will shape the programme, through the patient research panel, the patient listening panel and through surveys and feedback.
The long-term intention remains to balance reliance on investment performance with more grant and donor fundraising, which itself requires a raised profile and clearer articulation of impact. BIRD will work on a strategy to achieve that during the year ahead.
Next year BIRD will undertake a recruitment exercise for new Trustees and committee members as part of good succession planning.

Statement of the Directors’ and Trustees’ Responsibilities
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP),
In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
Bath Institute for Rheumatic Diseases Supporting arthritis research, education and patient engagement
Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 13 to 19 for the year ended 31 March 2022 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 22.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report
As described on page 1, you, the charitable company’s Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
Bath Institute for Rheumatic Diseases Supporting arthritis research, education and patient engagement
-
A. Examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
-
B. Follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
1. Accounting Policies Policies Relating to the Production of the Accounts
Basis of Preparation and Accounting Convention
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and ‘FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity’s jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
Going Concern
The Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition
Nature of Income
Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.
Categories of Income
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from nonexchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.
Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
Income Recognition
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Risks and Future Assumptions
BIRD meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
22
Bath Institute for Rheumatic Diseases Supporting arthritis research, education and patient engagement
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
Income from Legacies
Income from legacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be received by the charity, and the amount to be received can be estimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Where a payment is received from an estate or is notified as receivable by the executors after the reporting date and before the accounts are authorised for issue but it is clear that the payment had been agreed by the executors prior to the end of the reporting period, then the amount concerned is treated as an adjusting event and accrued as income in the accounting period if receipt is probable.
Where the charity has established entitlement to a legacy but there is uncertainty as to the amount of the payment, details of the legacy are disclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met. Where a legacy is subject to the interest of a life tenant, the legacy is not recognised as income until the death of the life tenant.
If it is doubtful that full settlement of a legacy debtor will be received, then an adjustment is made to reduce the amount of the legacy debtor and legacy income rather than charging the adjustment as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.
Fixed Asset Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds, investment properties and similar investments are shown initially at cost upon acquisition and at their market value at the balance sheet date at the end of the financial period. Investment properties are not depreciated.
Fixed asset investments in unlisted equities are shown at the balance sheet date at the best estimate of their market value, where practicable. Where valuation techniques are considered unreliable or where, in the opinion of the trustees, the costs outweigh the benefits to the users of the accounts, the investment is included at cost, and a review is undertaken at each year end as to whether the asset should be written down.
All gains on fixed asset investments, whether realised or unrealised, are included in row B4 of the Statement of Financial Activities.
Recognition of Liabilities and Expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Plant and machinery - 20 % reducing balance.
Stocks and work in progress
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Creditors and provisions
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principals, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the SORP.
Financial Instruments Including Cash and Bank Balances
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
2. Liability to Taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
3. Winding up or Dissolution of the Charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
4. Significance of Financial Instruments to the Charity’s Position
There are no significant implications of financial instruments to the charity’s financial position or performance.
5. Net Surplus Before Tax in the Financial Year
The net surplus before tax in the financial year is stated after charging. Depreciation of owned fixed assets:
2022 = £276 2021 = £329
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law. There are no endowment funds.
