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 p￿pIe 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.

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 upperrn￿t in our minds that financial uncertainty, rising costs, loss of
jobs and increasing poverty all have a sl8nificant effect on both ph￿ICal 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 debIl￿atIng,
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. A much-needed resource In

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 sU￿CrIber5. 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.

How we raised our money In 2022
Our approach to fundrai5ing- The Trustees are aware of their responsibllity and accountability to ensure that the
charlty fundraises legally. re5pon5ibly, and effectlvely.
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.

In February halfterm 2022, shortly after his eighth

Surrey County Hospital where he was diagnosed
with Type l Diabetes. We'd been worried about him
for a while as he'd he been unwell and lost a lot of

'why what when, and 'how'. The care we

autoimmune disease affects the body, test blood
glucose levels through finBer pricks and. learning
how to deal with often scary'hypos and hypers,. We

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.

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.

Our focus in 2022 and beyond
The pandemic showed us the need to be agile, integrated, and adaptive in our approach. The past couple of years
have been incredibly challenging and wwth the ongoing cost of INing crisis we need, more than ever, to be
resourceful and innovative in our approach.
We are experiencing rising costs in all of our charitable and fundraising artivities due to inflation, at the sarne time
our individual donors are reviewing their own outgoings and tightening their belts,. and corporate partnership and
grant funding opportunities are in short supply and all the more competitive. Ironically, at this time of financial
uncertainty for everyone, more people than ever are tuming to charities for theif SUPPOrt.
As we approach our 25 annlver5ary in 2023, we are intenl On reversingthe negative impact that both the pandemlc
and the current economic climate have had on our ability to diversify and develop our fundraising portfolio and
deliver Wellness programmes that meet the needs of the diabetes community and the healthcare professlonals
that look after them.
Our focus 15 very much on ensvrin8 that we have the necessary funds to build a resillent and sustalnable
organisation that can meet the ongoin& and ever-chan8in& needs of our beneficiaries.
To do this effertlvely, we plan to-
Restructure our sUPPOrter database to ensure that we are tsklng a personalised approach to stewardship
of our benefitiaries and donors reco8nisln8 that there are increasin8 financial pressures on our supporters,.
we anticipate that recruitment of new supporters wlll be more difficult. so retentlon and Bood stewardship
of existing supporter5 is ever more important.
Review our current Wellness Pro8ramme activlties to ensure that they meet need and dellver Impactful
outcomes whilst maximising opportunity for DRWF to engage In partnerships that deliver revenue and
benefit for all parties.
Effect organisotional change wlthin the charfty to create cost-efficiencles and make for an organisation that
can navlgate the ongoing challenges and is robust and fit for the future.

Rlsk Management- The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business, reputational and operational risks
that the charity faces. This involves iéentifying specific risks,. assessing their likelihood of tstcurrence and potential
impact,. determining what steps could be taken to mitigate those risks and delegating responsibility to key staff for
overseeing management of the associated controls. The risk register is reviewed annually to ensure the adequacy
of internal control mechanisms.
Our approach to risk assessment and mana8ement is evidenced across the organisation and throuRhout our
activities. The risk register was formally scored by all trustees in early December and resulting risks discussed at a
Board meeting held on 22 December.
The Board conslders that the major rlsks faclng the tharlty at present, are-
Fundralslng and dependenry on single Income streams
Competition
Busine55 continuity
The past few years have been incredibly challenging for all charities, with clear impact on fundraising activities and
attrltlon In channels that, hlstorlcally, have been very solld in their return. The char5ty Is focused on d5verslfySng
activities to reduce rcliance on unpredictable or single income streams with our Core Fundraising Group meeting
monthly to fevlew and develop strateBy and operational plans to SUPPOrt thls.
The fundralslng landscape Is hlghly competitlve at present, wlth more charltlesthan ever applyln8 for grant funding,.

R•spon81bllltle8 of tru8tee8
As explained mor8 fully in the Iru$lees' responsibilities Stslemenl sel out on page 24. the Iruslees (who
are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose5 of company lawl are responsible lor
the preparation of the finanaal stslemenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view,
and for such intemal control as the Ifustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation offinanci81
statements that are free from mater￿1 misstalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable
company's ability lo continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going
concem and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo liquidate
the charitable company or to cease opefations. or have no realistic allernalive bul to do so.
Auditor's Re8ponslbllltle8 for the audlt of the flnan¢lal statgments
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or errnr. and to issuè an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a h￿h level of assurance bul is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will a￿VaYS detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to inlluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basi$ 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 misstate￿nI resu￿"ng from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
26

error. as fraud may invofve collusion, forgery. intentional omissKsn$, misrepresentations, or the
oVerr￿e of intetnal control.
Obtain an understanding of intemal control relevant to the audit in order lo design audit
procedures that are appropriate in thè circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing
an opinion or¢ the effectiveness of the charilable company's intemal control.
Evaluate the appropnateness of accounting poliues used and the reasonablèness of
accountsng estimates and related dk%closures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Irusiees, use of the going concem basis of accounting
and. based on the audit evidence obtsined. whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or condibons that may cast significant doubl on the charitable company's ability to
continue as a going Goncern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditorfs report lo the relaled disclosures in Ihe financial statements or,
if such disclosures a￿ inadequate, to modify our opinton. Our conclusions are based on the
audit evldence obtained up to the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the ¢haritsble ￿MpanY to cease lo continue as a going concem.
Evaluate the overall presentation. slwcture and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financkil stalements representthe underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
communicate with those charged with governance regarding, ar￿ng other mattèrs, the planned
scope and liming of the audil and signifunt audit findings. including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during Our audit.
Explanatlon a• to what extsnt the audlt w•$ consldered capable of drtectlng Irrègul•rltle8,
In¢ludlng fraud
Irregularilie¥, including Iraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
prO￿dureS 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
p￿VentiOn 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 finan￿al statements. Also. the risk of not delecling a material
Misslaten￿￿t due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulling from error, as fmud may
involve deliberate COn￿alment 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
