Report of the Trustees
FUNDRAISER FOCUS: Charity Football Day
In a poignant and heartwarming tribute, friends and family came together in April 2023 to celebrate the memory of James, who tragically passed away from anaphylaxis in February 2018 at the age of 15. On what would have been his 21st birthday, they organised a charity football day, raffle, and auction for Anaphylaxis UK. The event was a resounding success, raising a staggering £5,857 on the day to celebrate James.
Impactful Contributions
The generosity of our supporters has been truly awe-inspiring. Driven by an unwavering dedication to our cause, major donors contributed a remarkable £7,000, providing invaluable support that propelled our ongoing efforts forward. Additionally, we are deeply humbled by the £19,828 raised through heartfelt in memoriam donations, profound tributes that honour the memories of loved ones and underscore the profound impact of our work.
Public donations, totalling an extraordinary £48,305, have been instrumental in fuelling our mission, enabling us to provide vital support services, education and advocacy for individuals and families affected by allergies. These contributions represent more than just financial assistance; they are a testament to the trust and belief our community has placed in us.
Driving Change through Grants
Grants totalling £13,600 have been catalysts for our initiatives, empowering us to keep the allergy community safe and supported. Funding from esteemed Trusts such as The Brian Shaw Memorial Trust, The Ardwick Trust, and The Lady Hind Trust has enabled our information and services team to deliver essential support services to the public, ensuring that no one faces the challenges of allergies alone or without guidance.
Moreover, grants from the CRH Charitable Trust, The Anton Jurgens Charitable Trust, and the Hospital Saturday Fund have paved the way for the development of our pioneering AllergyWise training for Early Years settings. This groundbreaking initiative equips caregivers and educators with the knowledge and tools necessary to create safer environments for children with allergies, fostering inclusivity and protection from a young age.
Anaphylaxis UK Business Symposium
This flagship event, held at the renowned Francis Crick Institute in London in December 2023, was a resounding success. We raised an impressive £26,500 from sponsors of the business symposium, with generous contributions from esteemed partners including RSSL, SGS, ServeLegal, Romer Labs, Neogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, DBV Technologies, and Christeyns Food Hygiene. This significant support has bolstered our initiatives, enabling us to advance our mission of fostering inclusion and awareness within society.
Additionally, our corporate members' unwavering commitment generated an incredible £75,885 through their memberships. Their partnership has been instrumental in driving positive change and expanding our outreach efforts, amplifying our impact and ensuring our message resonates far and wide.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
Investment performance achieved against investment objectives
The investment objectives of the Charity are to maximise the value of reserves, while avoiding undue risk. The Charity's policy on investment includes a requirement to limit investments to 60% of liquid assets and only to invest in Funds regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Charity's investments in an Income and Growth portfolio with Hargreaves Lansdown showed a gain of £9,471 on the value report at the end of December 2022 (£154,824). The value at the end of December 2023 was £164,295.
Financial review: Reserves policy
To achieve a sound balance between prudence and ensuring funds are expended in achieving the objectives of the Charity, the Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted reserves held by the Charity should equate to at least six months operating costs. At the year end this equated to £245,182. Free reserves (excluding 6 months operating costs) at 31 December 2023 stood at £386,685.
Restricted reserves
There were no restricted reseves at 31 December 2023.
Risk review
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to manage those risks. A risk management register is maintained and risks highlighted are reviewed regularly to ensure they do not pose a threat to the Charity going forward. Key risks for the Charity include an uncertain economic outlook and its impact on fundraising by individuals and financial support from businesses.
Financial overview
The Charity ended the year in a sound financial position with sufficient free reserves to meet its reserves policy. Net outgoing resources for the year amounted to £579,487. Unrestricted funds were £631,867 and restricted funds were zero.
Financial policies
All payments up to £10,000 made by the Charity have to be signed by two authorised signatories and by a Trustee in addition for payments over that amount. The day-to-day management of the financial affairs of the Charity is delegated to the Head of Finance and Operations who submits Management Accounts and a written report monthly to the CEO and Board of Trustees. A financial report supported by Management Accounts is delivered at each meeting of Trustees.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are community fundraising initiatives such as the London Marathon, sales from our AllergyWise training programme and from Business Membership. The charity also benefits from grants and sponsorship of project work such as awareness campaigns.
Use of funds
Funds received by the charity have contributed significantly to the expansion of services offered by the Information Team and in our ability to enhance our awareness campaigns to reach more people with allergies.

Report of the Trustees

Plans for the future
The Board have agreed a Strategic Framework for 2023-2028. The general impact the Anaphylaxis UK charity aims to achieve by the end of 2028 is:
We want everyone with a serious allergy to enjoy the same quality of life as someone without an allergy. Over the next five years, all of our work will focus on making this ambition a reality.
Our main priority areas and the impact we aim to achieve within each area are set out in the Business Plan since they were approved by the Board in March 2023. The main areas for future work are:
- Empowering Lives, Conquering Fears in the Years Ahead
For too long, the anxiety of living with an allergy has robbed individuals of the freedom to fully embrace life's cherished moments - from joyous birthday celebrations to simple acts of socialising and exploring the world around them. The ever-present fear of a potential reaction has cast a shadow over the everyday, creating an unacceptable barrier to living life to the fullest. But today, we stand united in our resolve to shatter those barriers and empower our community to reclaim their lives without fear.
Following the success of a groundbreaking Knowledge Transfer (KTP) grant, we are thrilled to announce an unprecedented partnership with the esteemed University of Surrey. Together, we will embark on an ambitious journey, collaborating with renowned clinical psychologists to develop a transformative support system. This pioneering program will equip individuals with the tools and strategies to conquer their anxieties, empowering them with the skills to navigate life's adventures with confidence and resilience.
This visionary initiative marks a milestone in the evolution of our charity, as we expand our horizons to offer life-changing services tailored to the unique needs of our beneficiaries. No longer will fear dictate their choices; instead, they will be equipped with the knowledge and self-assurance to embrace every opportunity, every moment, and every dream.
- Safer Schools, Brighter Futures
Recognising the pivotal role of educational institutions in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, we will expand our acclaimed AllergyWise portfolio, with a particular emphasis on our Safer Schools Programme. Through this initiative, we will actively encourage more schools to undertake comprehensive training and adopt robust policies and procedures, ensuring that every student with allergies can learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing and secure environment.
- Forging Powerful Partnerships
In our unwavering pursuit of promoting awareness and understanding, we will enhance our relationships with leading businesses, forging powerful partnerships that amplify our collective impact. Together, we will embark on groundbreaking awareness-raising programs, fostering a culture of inclusion and empathy that transcends boundaries.
- Empowering Businesses, Enriching Lives
Recognising the vital role that small and medium-sized enterprises play in shaping our communities, we will develop an innovative online portal - a comprehensive resource tailored to their unique needs. This dynamic platform will serve as a trusted guide, providing factually accurate support, resources, and insights to help businesses navigate the complexities of allergies with ease. From developing allergy-aware products and services to fostering inclusive practices, we will empower these enterprises to become catalysts for positive change, creating a world where accessibility and understanding are woven into the very fabric of society.

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or

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
