## **Summary of the last 12 months**
## _**Articles of Association and Governance changes**_
As per discussions between the Executive of the APM, Jane Ratford (interim COO) and solicitors, it was agreed that the recommendations made during the 2023 Governance Review were to be upheld.
A Special Resolution Meeting calling on members to vote on the proposed changes was called for the 19 September 2024. The vote met quorum with 118 (proxy plus attendees) APM members represented which is more than the 5% (71 members) required by the APM’s current articles. The changes to the Articles were approved with 100% voting in favour.
## _**Recruitment of Lay Chair and Lay Trustees**_
One of the recommendations with regards to the Articles of Association changes, was to implement a new Board of Trustees. As a result, a new Lay Chair has been recruited along with two Lay Trustees one specialising in Finance and the other in EDI.
The first Board of Trustees meeting took place on Tuesday 22 October 2024.
The previously known APM Board is now known as the Council, and the Officers are now known as the APM Executive.
## _**Meetings**_
The APM Council continued to hold their meetings every other month. There has since been an inaugural meeting of the newly formed Board of Trustees. Committee meetings are continuing to take place regularly.
## _**Launch of new website**_
The new APM website launched at the end of July 2024. Feedback so far has been positive.

## _**Directors**_
Dr Sarah Cox Paul Perkin (appointed 22/10/2024) Dr Natasha Wiggins Trudie Roiz De Sa (appointed 22/10/2024) Dr Suzanne Kite Solomon Larsey Annan Ako-Otchere (appointed 22/10/2024) Dr Matthew Dore
Directors are nominated and elected by APM members on Full Member and Full Member with Reduced Subscription levels. The APM shares its educational and research resources with other levels of membership including Associate non Doctor members whilst not providing them with voting rights. Formal training is not given by the APM in respect of fulfilling the role of Director, however most palliative medicine doctors have management training and experience and bring this valuable asset to the various committees of the APM.
## _**Financial review**_
The deficit of £200,752 for the year leaves total funds of £500,875 at the balance sheet date. Included in these fund balances are £122,387 of restricted funds as shown in note 10. A designated education fund ends the year with a balance of £196,253 (note 11). So far as free reserves are concerned, a deficit of £183,232 in the year leaves a fund balance of £182,235 at the year end. The trustees are satisfied that this level of reserves enables the company to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives and obligations.
As disclosed in note 4, there is a charge of £67,777 (2023: £44,530) in these accounts paid to the employers of our President, vice-president and treasurer to cover replacement consultant costs while they were carrying out APM duties.
## _**Reserves**_
The trustees aim to maintain general reserve levels at the equivalent of at least six months expenditure. The unrestricted fund balance (excluding designated funds) at the year end of £182,235 is below this level and continues to be carefully monitored by the trustees.
## _**Investment Policy**_
The Trustees have the authority to invest the money that APM does not immediately need in any investments or properties. At present, surplus funds are invested in ethical fixed rate bonds ensuring that that interest is received on the balance.
## _**Risk Review**_
The trustees are satisfied that the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, are being reviewed, and systems are being established to manage those risks.

## **DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)**
## _**Directors' Responsibilities**_
Company law requires the directors to prepare the directors and trustees report and the accounts for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company at the end of the period and of its surplus or deficit for the period. In preparing those accounts, the directors are required to:-
- l select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- l make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- l state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
- l prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR PALLIATIVE MEDICINE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND**
(Company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 November 2024 set out on pages 7 to 15.
## RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
As the trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charitable company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the ‘2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
(2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or
(3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
(4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
