**TB ALERT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

Our objects, as defined in our Memorandum of Association, are: 

(a) to support medical, scientific, social and humanitarian activities throughout the world for the relief and rehabilitation of persons affected by tuberculosis and related medical and social conditions and for the prevention and control of that disease. 

(b) to educate persons throughout the world regarding the effects of tuberculosis so as to heighten awareness of the need for better detection, treatment and rehabilitation of persons affected by tuberculosis and related medical and social conditions. 

**Our vision** is the control and the ultimate eradication of TB. 

**Our mission** is to increase access to effective treatment for all. 

**Strategic Objectives.** The charity's current strategic plan contains five key objectives to: 

1) Provide information, guidance and support to individuals, communities and health and care services, so that people with TB access healthcare and receive a prompt and accurate diagnosis. 

2) Partner health and care services to ensure people with TB receive the clinical and psychosocial support necessary for successful treatment. 

3) Build TB capacity among civil society and strengthen collaboration between health and care services and civil society. 

4) Develop and use our organisational expertise to generate new partnerships and programmes and to support national and international advocacy. 

5) Strengthen financial and staffing resources and systems to build the foundation for long-term sustainability and growth.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Significant activities** 

The Achievements and Performance section describes our main activities and the people we work to help. All of our charitable activities focus on TB prevention, access to treatment and successful treatment with a particular focus on community action to achieve quality in the whole range of activity for effective people-centred TB care. Our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit, so as to address the health, social, humanitarian and economic impacts associated with TB infection and delays in diagnosis and treatment. 

TB is an airborne disease that can affect anyone but is most common among people living in poverty because they are more likely to be malnourished, have poor immune systems and be living in crowded conditions. TB prevents people from attending education, earning a living or looking after their family, which increases poverty within families and communities. 

TB remains the global emergency that the World Health Organisation declared in 1993. Tuberculosis is, apart only from Covid-19, the leading cause of death worldwide from an infectious disease and killed 1.6 million people in 2021 (WHO Global TB Report 2022). A serious impact of the Covid pandemic is that attention and resources were removed from TB, leading to 20% + reduction in the diagnosis of new infections, knocking back at least 5 years of global progress against TB. 

Most deaths occur because patients do not know a cure is available or have difficulty accessing treatment. Tuberculosis is also the main killer of people living with HIV in developing countries. Yet it can be cured, even if someone is HIV positive. 

Diagnosis of TB can be difficult, especially in children, people who are HIV positive, or people with TB affecting parts of the body other than the lungs. Drugs for drug-sensitive (ie 'ordinary') TB are effective and low cost. New regimens lasting 4 instead of 6 months are beginning to be available but most countries still use the 6-month regimen. The drugs can cause unpleasant side effects so patients need support to ensure they complete the course. Incomplete treatment risks drug resistance that is difficult and costly to treat. The only vaccine we have, BCG, gives limited protection so the development of new vaccines, diagnostics and drugs plays a key part in the fight to eradicate TB. 

Research into TB is finally beginning to bear fruit. As well as the 4-month regimen mentioned above, there are new drugs against resistant TB bringing treatment length down from 2 years to 6 months. WHO has also launched a new campaign with emphasis on treating latent TB (Infection that is not active), activity that especially calls for the community emphasis in which TB Alert specialises. 

Many people think TB was eradicated in the UK. It never was. Although numbers have declined in recent years there are still almost 5,000 cases each year (UK Health Security Agency 2021 Report on 'Tuberculosis in England', plus estimates from the other 3 nations). 

TB Alert is the only UK-based specialist TB charity, and we work to fight tuberculosis both in the UK and internationally. TB Alert works to ensure that poverty and lack of awareness are not a barrier to accessing TB treatment and to eliminate the stigma and discrimination associated with tuberculosis. 

## **Public benefit** 

In shaping our objectives and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit. In particular, the Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives that have been set out in our Memorandum of Association.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

2021-22 was the first full year of activity after severe retrenchment in order to remain solvent, following financial pressures as a result of the Covid pandemic and changes in recent years to the availability of statutory grant opportunities. Since the end of 2020, TB Alert has been operating with a voluntary Executive Trustee, inputs from other Trustees, and three very part-time paid staff. 

We continue to receive income from individual donors, trusts and a couple of legacies but we are not at present in receipt of any statutory, company or major trust grants. Our activity level and expenditure are consequently reduced. As a strategic decision, we maintain some activity in the UK but focus our efforts on maintaining provision of core funding to our sister organisation, TB Alert India, plus support of a specific project in Delhi, as described below. 

At the same time, we look for opportunities to regain our previous level of output and impact, given that TB remains a major global health challenge affecting 10.8 million individuals in 2021 (WHO Global TB Report 2022). 

## Significant aspects of work over the past year include: 

_Work in India_ : The core support we give to our sister organisation TB Alert India has a great multiplier effect, allowing them to obtain grants from large international donors and others such that at present they have programmes with several hundred staff across a number of Indian States. There is thus impact on populations totalling several million plus direct care for many thousands of people. We are also the prime donor for Delhi Divine Project in the Northern suburbs of Delhi, supplementing medical provision and ensuring community support to individuals with TB to access diagnosis and then through the long months of treatment. 

_Research Support_ : We have continued to work as a co-investigator on two research projects, IMPACT and RID-TB, at University College London funded by the UK government's National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). We facilitate patient and public involvement (PPI) to ensure the research is structured in ways which, when rolled out in the real world, best meet the needs of affected individuals and communities. We also provide the studies with expert communications support to ensure that people who enrol as participants understand the purposes of the studies and receive the support they need during the course of the research. 

We also commonly receive approaches from other researchers seeking assistance with PPI and help them with advice; and support their funding applications and link them to affected individuals where appropriate. 

_Mutual support_ among individuals affected by TB: We continue to support TB Action Group, known as T-BAG. This is the one group in Britain that is a mutual support network for individuals affected by TB. In particular, we helped prepare and follow up a meeting of the Group to resuscitate their activity. 

_Communications and Social Media:_ Our TB information service, which provides information and support by telephone, email and through an online forum, has attracted enquiries from people affected by TB around the world. We have worked with the UK Health Security Agency and NHS England to meet the TB information needs of arrivals under the Afghan citizen resettlement scheme; produced TB information for refugees arriving from Ukraine; and worked with Brighton Health Authority for Equality to produce and deliver a social media campaign for World TB Day that highlighted the differences and similarities between TB and COVID-19 symptoms. 

_Helpline Information_ : We continue to respond to enquiries coming by phone or online, from members of the public, usually individuals or someone close to them, recently diagnosed with TB. We are always careful to explain that we can provide general knowledge about TB but for specific personal medical advice they need to speak to their doctor or TB nurse. 

_Fundraising Volunteers_ : Our work would not be possible without the amazing contributions and efforts of our fundraisers who have run the extra mile and scaled great heights to help us save lives from TB.

**TB ALERT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

_Ukraine Appeal_ : The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led to great displacement of people within the country and to a wave of refugees leaving it, with consequential concern for the continuation of TB services and for individuals already undergoing treatment. We made a special appeal to our supporters for help with work inside the country, making it clear that this would be humanitarian and not necessarily linked directly to TB work. We were happy as a result to be able to fund provision of a soft surface, ensuring safety at a playground in a centre for displaced children in Poltava, run by a local group, Hope for Life. 

_Advocacy for action against TB_ : Tuberculosis continues globally to receive less attention and funding than it deserves as the greatest killer by infectious disease, after Covid. Indeed, the speed with which resources and effort were pulled together to successfully develop vaccines against Covid, underlines what should be done to confront TB. We have therefore been active, with others, in encouraging the government to make a generous pledge to the replenishment for the next 3-year period to the Global Fund against HIV, TB and Malaria. We also work with the UK Academics and Professionals against TB (UKAPTB). In the coming year, we will also link with efforts to ensure a successful outcome from the United Nations High Level Meeting in September 2023 when Heads of State will come together to review progress against TB. 

_Strategy:_ Trustees held a special session, facilitated by Professor Dorothy Griffiths of Imperial College London Management School, to review strategic options. This clarified our intention to develop impact both overseas, notably in India, and within the UK; and outlined possible steps given our limited resources. 

_Miscellaneous_ : While there has been little development during this year, we continue to look for opportunities to follow up our recent work on psycho-social aspects of TB care; and also to re-open activities in Central Africa. 

We are very grateful for a couple of generous legacies and very much appreciate that almost all of our regular individual donors have continued their regular donations. Furthermore, a number of Trusts and larger individual donors have repeated previous grants to TB Alert, reflecting a trust in our ability to continue valuable work ensuring access to treatment and support for individuals affected by TB in both the UK and India. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The year 2021-22 saw a significant downturn in both income and expenditure as a result of the retraction decided at the end of 2020, such that the only employed staff now are 3 very part-time individuals, all working from home. Our income totalled £48 000, and resources expended were £62 875 of which all but £244 was on direct charitable purposes. 

## **Fundraising** 

We would like to thank all the individuals, trusts and foundations that have contributed to our work in the UK and overseas throughout 20221-22. Our donors have been critical in supporting our programmes and services, helping to change the lives of our beneficiaries. 

## **Reserves policy** 

TB Alert's reserves policy is to hold reserves equal to a minimum of four months' salary, premises and core administration costs. In the second half of 2020, given the challenging operating environment due to the pandemic, our reserves came very close to these minimum requirements. Trustees, therefore, decided to significantly reduce operations. As a result, the organisation remained and continues to be a going concern. 

We have since benefited from a couple of legacies which with our reduced cost base have ensured we are now operating above our minimum reserve requirements. We continue to push forward to deliver on our purpose of fighting TB.

**TB ALERT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Charity was established as a company on 30 July 1998 and as a charity on 8 October 1998.It exists to promote awareness of tuberculosis and to support measures to advance the care and treatment of individuals affected by the disease worldwide. 

The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission under No. 1071886 in the original name of TB Alert. 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales under No. 03606528.The Charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association which require that it has a minimum of three Trustees but specify no maximum. 

## **Members' liability** 

Each member has undertaken to contribute a maximum of £10 in the event of the Charity being wound up. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

New Trustees are elected at the TB Alert Annual General Meeting. One third of the Board are subject to re-appointment each year, thus Trustees are normally appointed for a period of three years. The Trustees may co-opt a person who is willing to act to be a Trustee during the year. These Trustees are identified by personal enquiry or through advertisement. A Trustee so appointed will hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting at which point they can be proposed for reappointment. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Trustees are responsible for the governance of TB Alert. The aim is to include within the trustee body a range of skills and experience appropriate to the aims and management of the Charity. Currently the trustee body includes people with relevant medical, community health, international programmes, advocacy, organisational management, and financial skills. The Trustees with medical and community health experience are leading practitioners in the field of tuberculosis. They also provide a link with charities, pharmaceutical companies and medical societies working in related fields. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

New Trustees are provided with induction materials describing the legal basis and activities of the Charity and outlining their responsibilities. 

## **Wider network** 

TB Alert is an associate member of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) and affiliated with the global Stop TB Partnership, the other members of which are organisations around the World with consistent aims. These relationships do not impact on the governance of TB Alert. 

## **Related parties** 

TB Alert works closely with its sister organisation, TB Alert India, based in Hyderabad. TB Alert contributes towards the core costs of TB Alert India. Funds raised by TB Alert for projects in India are channelled via TB Alert India which  either implements these programmes directly or delivers them through partner NGOs, in which case TB Alert India monitors activities and performance and provides technical assistance.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of TB Alert for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

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

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

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

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 21[st] December 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

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)).

**TB ALERT** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, including taking into account any ongoing potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and on that basis the charity is considered to be a going concern. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Grants and donations receivable in respect of specific restricted expenditures are recognised as income in the period in which the relevant expenditure occurs or as specified by the donor. 

Where grants are received during the year under review but relate to a later period the amount is deferred under Grants in Advance in the Balance Sheet. 

All other donations and gifts are accounted for when they are received.  Tax recoverable on gift aid donations received is provided in full in the period in which the donation is received. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## Cost of generating funds 

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of charitable activities. 

## Charitable activities 

Project grant expenditure is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities when a constructive obligation exists, notwithstanding that they may be paid in future periods.  All other expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. 

## Allocation and apportionment of costs 

Expenditure is allocated to areas of activity where the cost relates directly to that area, with salaries allocated based on time spent. The five areas of activity are: UK programmes, international programmes, advocacy programmes, fundraising, and governance.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Taxation** 

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company 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 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 to charitable purposes. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.  Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
