The UKMS had a further active year in pursuit of its’ charitable objectives which are, education, research and advocacy.
To that end three Executive Committee meetings were held 2024; March, June and November.
In keeping with our objectives we have made significant progress in a number of key areas including educational meetings, guidelines and advocacy. There are summarised in the following pages.

The programme theme was ‘UK Myeloma Society at 25: Achievements and Future Directions’and featured Professor Gordon Cook from the University of Leeds. He presented the Michael Morley Lecture on Frailty in Myeloma.
The Spring Day was also a hybrid meeting and was held on 19th March 2025. The theme for this meeting was the ‘Optimising Outcomes in Myeloma’. The plenary lecture was given by Professor Sigurður Kristinsson from the University of Iceland. His talk was entitled, ‘Results from the Iceland screens, treats or prevents multiple myeloma (iStopMM) study.

THE UK MYELOMA SOCIETY
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Travel Bursaries for scientific meetings
The UKMS in collaboration with the Michael Morley Fund awarded 6 bursaries in 2024-25 to support the attendance of investigators, scientists, specialist nurses and pharmacists at ASH (American Society of Haematology), IMS (International Myeloma Society) and EHA (European Haematology Association) meetings in 2024-25. Further details can be found above.
Advocacy
The UKMS members have continued to engage with the NICE technology appraisals both in newly diagnosed and relapsed myeloma. Members of the UKMS also help develop NICE clinical guidelines and more recently input into NHS England Algorithm.
The Guidelines group
The UKMS Guidelines Group, Chaired by Dr Simon Stern published in 2023 the MGUS good practice paper (GPP). Another GPP on smouldering myeloma was published early in 2024 in the British Journal of Haematology (BJH). GPPs on imaging in myeloma and high risk disease in transplant-eligible myeloma have been completed and accepted by the BSH Haem-onc Task Force and Guidelines Committee. They have both been submitted to the BJH for publication. The aim of the imaging GPP is to produce a document that reinforces the importance of functional imaging both at diagnosis and during the later management of myeloma patients.
Other guidelines are work in progress, notably guidelines on the management of relapsed myeloma and a GPP on MGRS. Other guidelines in their early stages are on the management of myeloma bone disease and screening for amyloid in the outpatient setting.
There have been three important guidelines published in the British Journal of Haematology. These include the good practice papers on imaging and high-risk myeloma and the guideline on the diagnosis and management of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance. These are also available for viewing on the BSH and UKMS web sites.
The guidelines on relapsed/refractory myeloma and amyloidosis screening; the management of of myeloma bone disease and the use of bispecific antibodies in relapsed/refractory myeloma also in the early stages of planning.
Dr Simon Stern has stepped down as the Chair of the UKMS Guidelines Group and Dr Tracey Chan has taken over as Chair from March 2025.
UKMRA - UK Myeloma Research Alliance
The vision of the UKMRA, Chaired by Dr Rakesh Popat is that all UK based myeloma research is discussed within this forum to allow co-ordination of ideas and further development into national trials to maximise impact. The group met three times over the course of the year, twice virtually with one in-person/ hybrid meeting at the Wellcome Collection in central London on the 14th May 2024. On the 16 - 17 January 2025, the UKMRA held the annual Away Day at the Principle Hotel in York. Around 40 clinical trial investigators from across the UK held their main group meeting as well as a full day dedicated to developing UK Myeloma related clinical trials.
Myeloma Nurse Group
Jackie Quinn has chaired the Nurse group since November 2023.
Projects and discussion for 2024 included;
-
Develop protocol for Self-administration of Velcade
-
Explored the potential for nurse webinars co-partnered with Myeloma UK
-
Worked with Myeloma UK to produce a nurse network to support all haematology CNSs across the UK
-
The inagrual Nurse Education Study Day took place on 11 March 2025 at the Wellcome Collection
-
The group continue to work with the Pharmacy group adapting an online tool Myeloma treatment scheduler called ‘MyeTx Scheduler’ which is tool to create an individual MM treatment schedule to aid understanding and compliance
Myeloma Pharmacy Group
The Pharmacy group, Chaired by Catherine Loughran will promote excellence in the pharmaceutical care of patients with myeloma and support, develop and encourage haematology pharmacists to undertake high quality, audit and research aligned with the UKMS work-plan, and aim to standardise clinical practice across the UK. There are 10 core members. On the 5 November 2024, the group held the Pharmacy Education Day at the Wellcome Collection in central London.

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

THE UK MYELOMA SOCIETY
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The UK Myeloma Society ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE UK MYELOMA SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. General information
UK Myeloma Forum is a charity registered in England and Wales and is governed by its constitution. The Charity meets the defination of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The registered office is Pinderfields Hospital, Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, Aberford Road, Wakefield, WF1 4DG.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The UK Myeloma Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 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.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Dividends arising on equity investments are accounted for in the year they are due and receivable.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2.7 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.8 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
