Dlabete51e5e41 { WeUnèssFOundaD Message from our Co-Founder & Chairman - Michael Gretschel After two very challenging years, we were keen to resume our community activities, with the year seèingthe return of our residential Tl Family Camp, the flrst slnce 2019, as well as continuing our virttjal Camp in the Cloud. We were able to run three Diabetes Wellne55 Days in the South, Midlands. and Northeast. and whilst all of these activities were well-attended, there was still an understandable nervousness about coming together after a prolonged period of isolation, There is no doubt that the whole nation has been affected by the pandemic, but It W35 ar8uably a more challenging time for ppIe living with diabetes and other long-term conditions. It was wonderful to be able to reconnect and renew ovr support in person. to See familiar faces and meet new friends from 3cros5 the dlabetes ¢ommunitV sharing stories of hope and detemilnation. Whilst we started the year wlth a renewed enef8y, it was clear that there would be ongoing challenges. Our hèarts went out to the people of Ukraine as war was declared in March, and we were pleased to be able to loln forces wlth local groups by making a modest contributlon of wam clothln& diabetes awareness items and hypo treatments. As inflation soared and the cost of living rose rapldlyi It was clear that we would have to remaln adaptable and flexible In our beneficiary programmes. In times of financial uncertainty and pressure. it is often people livlnÉ wlth health challenges who are impacted the most, so we were keen to ensure that we continued to meet the most Important needs. The fundralslng landscape remains very challenging and whilst we endeavour to navigate these pressures, we continue to focus on diversifving our income streams to ensure that we are robust and fit for purpose and contlnue to make a difference to the everyday lives of people with diabetes. Relying almost entirely on voluntary and fundraised income. none of our work would be possible without our amazing donors and 5UPPOrters who make us what we are. We are truly Brateful to every indivldual who has contributed to the continued 5ucces5 of the charity. helplng us to ensure that people with diabetes are 'Stoylng well until a cure islound... Finally, as we approach our 25 ?nniversaryyear, we must thank our staff, advisory board member5 and volunteers. It 15 because of the hard work, commitment, and tenacity that we have been able to help more people than ever before. Thank you. Mlke Gret$chel March 2023 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FYE2022
DièbotÈs Researth E* Wthe55Foundwon Report of the trustees for the year ended 31st December 2022 The trustees are pleased to present their report and message from the Chaimian tU8ether with audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial Statements comply with the Charities Art 2011,. the Companies Act 2006,. the Memorandum and Articles of Associatlon and are prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applltable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102 Charities SQRPI (effective from I" January 20151. Our purpose, aims and activitles The objects of the charSty are.. To assist in the relief of persons with diabetes and any similar or related dlseases or conditions To ralse publlc awareness about diabetes and any Similar or related dlseases or conditions, thelr incidence, causes. treatment. avoidance. and relief The focus of our work Havlng had two years of very little communlty interactlon over 2020121 due to the pandemlc. it W35 heartenlng In the early part of 2022 to See an initial surge of interest in returning to in-person events and activSties. This was somewhat 5hort-Ilved however, due to the increaslng cost of living with rapidly rislng inflation and soarin8 energy prlces, as well a5 a groundswell of support In response to the Ukraine war. Whilst our initial focus was understandably on stabilislng our financial position having come through what has been descrlbed as 'the perfert storm,. it has been upperrnt in our minds that financial uncertainty, rising costs, loss of jobs and increasing poverty all have a sl8nificant effect on both phICal and mental health. Even more so when living with a chronic long-term condition, such as diabetes. We saw numerous new5 articles and reports durlng the yeor about the significant increase In numbers of people needlng to use food banks, with an upward trajectory of people not being able to accèss healthy or nutritiousfoods. Healthy eating is important for everyone but especially so for people living with diabetes as It Is central to maintaSnin8 blood 8lvcose control in order to reduce the risk of compllcatlons. Some of which can be debIlatIng, life limitin8 and life threatenlng. Oeprivation is assOCl8ted wlth higher levels of obesity and physical inartNity which can negatively irnpact on all aspects of health and increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Financlal Uncertainty 3150 increases soclal Isolation and auses 5Sgnlficant stress whlch can lead to depresslon. All of which can impact on blood glucose levels,. diabetes managemerst and ultimately lea(1 to poorer health outcomes. Our priority in 2022 was to remain visible and accèssible to everyone affected by dlpbetes that Treeded our help. Supported self-management of di3bete5 is central to reducing the risks asso¢lated with complicatlOP5 and therefore our aim was to do more to understand need 2nd provide inforn)ation and educational support pmgrammes that provide the practical tools to support and encourage a pro-active approach to good self-care. We consider that thoge with the greatest knowledge of their condition will have a better understanding of the disease and will be better equipped to have an impact on the progression of their diabetes and any associated complications. Our Diabetes Wellness activities, both in the community and virtual, provide a great platform for meeting people sharing similar health concerns, making new friends. and building peer support networks. all of which sèrve to reduce isolation and enhance both the physical and psychosocial management of diabete5.

Demonstrating public benefit The tnJstees confirm that they have referred to the general guidance set out by Charlty Comm15sion on public benefit. The trustees are satisfied that the Charitvs activities mèet the principles of public beneflt, defined as providing an identifiable benefitls to the public, or section of the public, and know of no detriment or harm that may be caused 35 a result of these activitie5, which are dearly set out throughout thi5 report. Volunteers As a small team éellverSn8 numerous activities, we rely on the support of volunteers who participate by helplng with administratlve tasks In our office: dèlivering diabetes awareness and information materials; undertake user Snvolvement exercises to help steer and develop our programme activities; support our educatlonal events and communlty lundralsing programme or sit on one of our expert panels for research or Information revigw. The number ol volunteers fluctuates each year but 15 crucial to helping us spread the word about the work we do and to support local and n8t5onal community fundraising initi3tive5. Aside from our Trustees, we have an Editorial Advlsory Board and a Research Advisory Board. These are panels of diabetes clinicians and sclentists, and other relevant professionals, all of whom offer their time and expertise voluntarily to ensure that we meet the high standards required of us through our Association of Medical Research Charities IAMRCI accreditation and our ¢ommltment to produclng cllnically evidenced health and soclal care information. We wholeheartedly thank all of our volunteers for thelr tlme, expertise and commrtment whlch helps us raise awareness to the charlty, maxlmlse Income and maintain high standards of work. Measurlng Impact We use a mixed methods approach to monitor and evaluate our actlvities In order to ensure that they remain true to purpose and achievè desired outcomes. Stakeholders and beneficiaries are Involved in these evaluation processes to ensure the continued relevance, quality, acce55ibility, and effediveness of actlvltles. We also undertake Independent evaluation with specialist partners for speclflc projects where Impartial opinion and/or additional expertlse is requlred. We keep people with diabetes at the heart of what we do. Beneficiaries and supporters are Involved in numerous ways to ensure that our support and resources are relevant, accessible and meet needs, helpin8 to steer our research prlorlties and programme activities. Activities & Achievements in 2022 Awareness, Information & support INFORMATION REACH: Our direct mail pio8ramme played a key part in our ¢ornmunication5 strategy during 2022. enablinB us to stay connected with key audiences who do not routinely engage with online channels. We distributed 442,040 campaign packs in 2022 an increase of around 13% on the previous year. The health inforniation contained within each campaign is targeted at beneflciarles who could act on the information. either in a preventative way (type 2 diabetesl or to inform and support those living with diabetes lall typesl, in their self-management of the condition. Whilst maintaining relationships with existing supporters of our appeals, we also reaihed out to higher volum8s of prospective beneficiaries and supporters of the charty during 2022. We had an average campaign response rate of 7.3% across 4 streams resulting in over 32.170 responses from across the country. We know from experience that it is likely that many more opened and read the appeal bLrt Chose not to make direct contart with us at that time. TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FfE2022
Diabere5 Rèsear£h Historically, we have seen numbers of people respond to communications that have been distributed many months, or even years, before as they have held onto the inforn)ation provided for future reference. These campaigns also art a5 a stewardship tool, helping us to stay connected with long-standing sUPPOrters of the charity. Health Unlocked Forum- The DRWF Diabetes forum within Health Unlocked provides a 'safe space, for people with diabetes to share their experiences, gain support and make a difference to others too. In 2022. the volume of members increased by 33. meaning that all time membership increased by 6.5% to 6.042 in the year. The volume of 'active' contributors declined slightly from 2021 by 9%, at 422, with people spendlng an average lime of 04.26 minutes on the forum. Thls had increased In the year by almost 14°A. Our forum erlables people to acce55 online resovrces and too15. as well as the 5UPPOrt of others experiencing similar health issues. all of which has been shown to improve health outtome5. WEBSITE: Wè launched a new webslte In 2022 and expected that there would be a lull In trafficlengagement for a period of time, however this did not begin to rise again when expected. There are multiple reasons for this. Firstly. 3 Google algorithm update at the end of 2021 made DRWF drop down the search iankings a little. Thi5 was c105ety followed by a more major update to the Google search algorithms at the exact time that we launched the new 51te. These two things happening simultaneously has proven challenging to our SEO. also affecting our Adwords campalgns. Therefore, webslte page views were éown 24.5% over 2021 at 314,760 and the total number of unique vsers was down 32.29% at 182,410. A lot of work has gone into improving our SEO and in getting Adwords working more effectlvely, and traffic Is increasSng agaln but it is a gradual increase which is somewhat due to the resources available to us at this time. These are disappointing figures for 2022 having seen a sianificant upward trajectory in 2020, with a natural decline In 2021 following the spike of online activity dye to the pandemic, and plan to rect this situation in 2023. LIVING WITH DIABETES PODCASTS & VIOEOS: We continued to produce our Livlng with Diabete5 podcasts in 2022 which provide5 another channel through which to access interesting and educational diabetes content. Whilst these channe15 are still very muth a work in progress, we have had reasonably good engagement during the yearwlth 2,659 viewslllstens. We aim to develop these channels during 2023. SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNEL5: In 2022 we continued our efforts to raise awareness of our activlties and services to more people through soclal medla campaigns with most en8aBement being seen through our Facebook page. Our sponsored Facebook content reached over 2.4 million people, up 45% over 2021, and had 7,780,382 impressions. This increase was achieved with an identical budget in 2022 and 2021. Our Tweets received 209,9 impressions and our Instagram page reached 91,403 people, up48% Dver 2021. DIABEfES WELLNESS NEWS: We distributed 103,471 copies of our newsletter, Diabetes Wellness News, to sUCrIber5. healthcare professionals and regular givers. This is a IO% decrease in the circulation numbers of 2021. Much of this redtjction is related to deceased notlflcations recelved from subscribers in the year due to the demographic of this channel of sUPPOrt. The newsletter is distributed to onnual subscribers and on a complimentary basis to healthcare providers who share the information with their patient communities. On a quarterly basis the CiTculation is boosted as we focus on the research element of our work and send a copy to our regijlar givers. It is difficult to accurately predict the true readership of the newsletter but through anecdotal evidence, it is much wider than those who have specifically requested to receive it and is seen as a stewardship tool to maintain engagement with a variety of different supporter and beneficlary audiences. We intend to change the frequency from monthly to quarterly distrlbutlon in 2023 as we work towards meetlng the needs of existing supporters of this resource, as well as take DWN online.

Our plan for 2022 was to maintain focus on building resilience and sustainèbility for the future through succession planning, diverslfication of income streams and delivery of purposeful programs that continue to meet the ever- changin8 needs of people wlth dlabetes. In the hope of returning to more nomal levels of artNity in 2022, we set our slghts on an ambitious income expectation to support dlver5ification of our fundraising attivities. This is key to 5UPPOrt future sustainability. Whilst we had hoped to see pre-pandemic behaviours return in 2022. the Ukraine War. rising inflation and cost of living challenges, had a big impact throughout the year. These thallenges affected our actual income in the year which was £1,765,756 a shortfall of 4% on our budget expectstion of £1.836,508. However, income was 5% hiEher than FYE 2021. This was mainly due to high levels of legacy bequests received In the year and an increase of reach via our dirert mail programme. 12 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FYE2022

Investment Policy Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association. the charity has the power to invest in any way the trijstees See fit. The trustees, in order to minimise risk and having regard to the liquidity requirements of the charity, and to the reserves policy, have historically operated a policy of keeping available funds in a higher interest-bearing deposit account seeking to achieve a rate of deposit interest which matches or exceeds inflation as measured by the retail prices index. 17 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FYE2022
Dl•betÈ58esearch Weuness FoUron The trustees have regularly reviewèd opportunities to Intrease investment return from short-term. easy access, options bearlng in mind the desire to ensure that we can react quickly to appropriate requests for additional research 5UPPOrt as they arise. The trustees are also conscious of on-going cash-flow requirements during a challenglns time where historical fundraising methods are raislng less income and where new methods of fundraising are being tested at higher cost. All thlngs considered, the trustees believe k appropriate to continue to explore investment opportunities as thev present thèmselves. Wlth a view to maximisin8 return on it5 deposits. With intercst rate5 rising Sn 2022, the Board felt it Important to consider whether there was opportunity to dep051t surplus cash into short-term. hi8her interest-bearing bank accounts to maximise return. To this end, the charity opened a CAF (Charitles Aid Foundation) Chartty Oeposit Platfomi account, provided by Flagstonè, which Bives access to around 80 notice and fixed teTm accounts with 20+ banks. The interest rates offered via this platform are better than can be obtained by the charity approaching the banks individually. Accounts creatèd on the Flagstone platform wSth onshore UK banks provide the same F5CS protection as If the deposit had been placed directly wlth that bank. An annual management fee of 0.225% of account balance Is char8ed. This platform will be set-up in 2023. Reserves Pollcy To safeguard the need for sufficient funds to cover on going management, administration, and support costs, as well as respond to further grant requests that might arise. the Board aims to maintain unrestrlcted, free reserves at a level that equals 3-6 months of operatlng and charStsble expenditures, which equates to between £474,894 and £949,788. Durlng flnancial year 2022. total expenditure was £2,030.351. Allowin8 for adjustments and forward research commltments, the charity's expenditures for financlal year 2023 are likely to be in the region of £1,899,576. At 31st December 2022, the charity held free SerVeS {unrestricted reserve5 less flxed assets) of £2,501,975. This IS the equivalent of approximately 15.8 months operating and charitable expenditures. The trustees are committed to strengthening existing income streams whilst diversifying fundralslng activities to reduce reliance on single sources. It is accepted that thi5 will take investment In activities where the accuracy of predicting response rates, in terms of volLtme or value of gift, wlll be more challen8ing in the first Instance. Current reserve5, whllst Sn exce55 of those anticipated, will enable u5 to Davigate these more challengin8 times whilst diversifying income generation and developing the charity's objectlve activities, for future sustainabilitv. Golng concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charit15 ability to contlnue as a going concern. The trustee5 have made this a55e55ment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements havin8 considered known tommitments, forecasts and projectlons and possible pressures on income 8eneration. After making these tonsiderations. the trustees conclude that there is reasonable expertation that the charitsble company has adequate resources to continue in operational e¥istence for the foreseeable future. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 18 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FYE2022

If we idents'fy such material inconsistencies or apparent material rnisstalements. we are required to determine whether there is a material migslatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the is a material misstatement of this other Infom"0, we are required lo report that fact 25
We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescrlbed by the Companle8 Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the ¢ourse of the audf('. the infomalion given in the IfUStees' annual report for the financial year for which the financial ststements are prepared is consistent with the financ1 statements,. and the trustees. annual report has been prepared in accordance wilh appllcable 18gal requirements.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability lo continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concem and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo liquidate the charitable company or to cease opefations. or have no realistic allernalive bul to do so. Auditor's Re8ponslbllltle8 for the audlt of the flnan¢lal statgments Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or errnr. and to issuè an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a hh level of assurance bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will aVaYS detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to inlluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basi$ of these financial statements. As part of an audrt in accordance with ISAS IUK) we exercise professK)nal judgement and maintain pr¢)fessi0ft81 sGeptirisrn throughout the audit We a also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audrt PTYJ(xdures responsive lo those risks, and obtain audil evidence that is sufficient and appropriale lo provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatenI resu"ng from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 26
error. as fraud may invofve collusion, forgery. intentional omissKsn$, misrepresentations, or the oVerre of intetnal control. Obtain an understanding of intemal control relevant to the audit in order lo design audit procedures that are appropriate in thè circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion or¢ the effectiveness of the charilable company's intemal control. Evaluate the appropnateness of accounting poliues used and the reasonablèness of accountsng estimates and related dk%closures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Irusiees, use of the going concem basis of accounting and. based on the audit evidence obtsined. whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or condibons that may cast significant doubl on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going Goncern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorfs report lo the relaled disclosures in Ihe financial statements or, if such disclosures a inadequate, to modify our opinton. Our conclusions are based on the audit evldence obtained up to the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the ¢haritsble MpanY to cease lo continue as a going concem. Evaluate the overall presentation. slwcture and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financkil stalements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. communicate with those charged with governance regarding, arng other mattèrs, the planned scope and liming of the audil and signifunt audit findings. including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during Our audit. Explanatlon a• to what extsnt the audlt w•$ consldered capable of drtectlng Irrègul•rltle8, In¢ludlng fraud Irregularilie¥, including Iraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design prOdureS in line with our responsibilities, ouwined above, to delect material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to whKh our procedur8s are capable of delectsng irregularities, including fraud is detailed below The objectives of our audlt in respect of fraud. are to identify and assess the risks of material mis51alement of the financial statements due to fraud.. to obtain suffrcient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misslatemenl due to fraud, Ihrou9h designing and implernenling appropriate responses lo those assessed risks,. and to respond appropriately lo instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However. the primary responsibility for the pVentiOn and detection of fraud rests with both managemenl and those charged with govemance of the charitablé company. Our approach was as follows.. We obtainÈd an understanding of the *al and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charty IFRS102} SORP, and UK financial reportlng standards as Issued by the Financial Reporting Council obtained an understanding of how the ¢haTftable company complies with these requirements by discussions with managernenl and those charged with governance. We assessed the risk of matertal misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstslement due to fraLtd and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance. We Inqui of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-complian or suspected non-compliance wrth laws and regulations. 27
Based on this understanding. we designed $pecffic appropriate audit procedures to ident instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. This Included making enquiries of management and those charged with govemance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. There are Inherent limitalions in Ihe audrt procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-complian wilh laws and regulations that are not closety lated to events and transactions reflected in the finanal statements. Also. the risk of not delecling a material Misslatent due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulling from error, as fmud may involve deliberate COnalment by. for exampfe. forgery or intenkn.onal misrepresentations. or through collusion. Use of our report This report ts made solely to the chafitable Company's members. as a body. in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 20(*. Our aLsdtt work has been undertaken so that we might stale to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them In an audilof s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the Charitable company and charitabk company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
