Objectives and activities
The Create Health Foundation is a charity devoted to the promotion of an evidence-based, holistic and supportive approach to women's reproductive health through education and research. The Create Health Foundation aims to be the most comprehensive, enlightened reproductive health charity in the UK.

The charity's aims to achieve its goal by:
-
Raising awareness of women's health issues by organising educational programmes.
-
Organising medical scientific meetings and scientific workshops especially on the topic of safer and more natural fertility treatment.
-
The creation of patient led support groups.
-
Campaigning for improved funding for infertility treatment and funding to support research into fertility.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Activity within the charity has been minimal during the year. However individual trustees have pursued the charitable interests through their own departments and continue to collaborate to ensure that relevant research is available on charity's own website, where it can be accessed by general public and practitioners wishing to consult it.
The charity continued to actively support the International Society for Mild Approaches in Assisted Reproduction (ISMAAR).
The Foundation has led the pioneering of fertility education in schools and are major campaigners for introduction of fertility as part of sex education. Trustees, Professors Stuart Campbell and Geeta Nargund, have visited schools in South London as part of the Foundations expansion of educating young people about human reproductions and factors that can affect future fertility.
Financial review
Result for the Year
The charity continued to raise the awareness of women's reproductive health by continued use of a public relations company in order to bring relevant information into the public realm via newspapers articles, television and radio interviews.

CREATE HEALTH FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Reserve Policy
The Charity has very few fixed costs and has no need for reserves beyond a minimal level. The Trustees consider that £5,000 is adequate for free reserves at the present time, an amount that the charity holds.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, was incorporated on 5 January 2000 as a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. The company was registered with the Charity Commission on 30 August 2000.

| Professor Geeta Nargund | (Appointed 1 February 2022) |
| P Nargund | (Appointed 11 January 2022) |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Create Health Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Accountancy House, 90 Walworth Road, London, SE1 6SW.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
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. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Services received for use by the charity are recognised when receivable.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.7 Employee benefits

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
