SECTION D. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
From the trustges:
ThfOU9hout 2021, SPRA continued to support six indNidual thalassaemia patsents In various parts of
Romania. The heahh of these IndivKluals (aged be￿n 18 and 351 Is ahNays a concern. During the year
we were noltfied by one individual that she had a probth wrth a heart condf(ion. described by her
$P8¢ialisl as"sevgre Organ￿ mitral Trguryrtalion". We havo leaml that this ￿ndItIon can usualty be
successfully treated by surgery bul that her thalassagmB presents a much-increased risk lo the patient
There was no additional call on chanty funds In 2021 foll¢)wing this disclosure. bul Iruslees are aware that
there might be a requirement lo provfvje modest addrtional financial 5uppori In 2022
We were notslied that the father of another th8lassaemia palienl. whose famity we have supported for
many year8. was In acul8 pain and In need of remedial back $ur9ery in ordèr lo prevent him from10sing
his mobility The appeal provKled a grant of E5,$00 lenlirety funded by a generous donor for this purposel
which covered the costs of surgery in a prNate hosprtal 103ether wrth assocoled tèsts and scans We have
been advised that the $ur9ery ha$ teen complelety successful Other Ih8188S8emia palienls in receipt of
ular support include a young man who has {with our helpl $uccessfully completed training as a men's
h8irdrg¥ser. In late 2021 wo were told that he had been offered an apprenlreship in a hairdressing salon
11 Is rare for Ihalas8aemba pali•nl8 to obtain regular Wofk. 80 this young man's story is very encouraging.
Anolh¢r Ihalassaemia patient who. rather unusually. Is able lo undertake paid work continued with the
setting up of psychotherapy business Iwilh the help of generous fvnding from one donor for Ihys purposel.
We learned that another pefson in receipt of regular linarKial support for 20 years had divorced (for Ihe
seeond limel and was now living back wrth hei pafenis Finally, we were advised In spnng 2021 that a
young woman Ihalasseemia patient aged 18 had, against all medtal athice, become pregnant. She gave
birth in December 202110 8 baby glrt who Il Is underslcth 1$ being Ca￿ for in the main by the baby,
gr8ndmother We were pleased lo ￿arn of the safe delivery of this inlanl given the risks Involved in
childbirth for a IhalaSsaem￿ patient It Is Ihe Intention of Irustses lo enhance the support provided lo this
family duiing 2022
In 2020, we funded a "Wytransfvsw" project to be run by an NGO in Romania IThe"Iha18ss8emi
8ssoci8IAon') which looks after the Inleresls of and campaigns on behalf of patients who regularty allend
the haemalology e8ntre in ordgr to receNe blood transfusion8
OUT Contacts In the associabon We￿ very keen lo launch an innovalive scheme which would match
indiv￿ual blood donofs Wlth regular r￿pIentS of blood transfusions Ilhese people would mainly be
Ihalassagmia patsentsl as rgported In our annual rep)rt lor the year 2020.
The benefrt5 of this scheme woukl be that an Individual recewing bl¢)od would be very c105ely matched lo
the blood type of a donor (using a more specffj￿ sub-classrfution of the standard bltsjd groups A. B. O
elcl. The pr8¢ise matching of blood types would be beneficial lor the hearth ol those receiving bl￿d on
regular basis (every 2 to 3 weeks In most eases).
The project invofved oblaining the agreemenl and COOperat￿n of the directors of 5 wional bkod
transfusion units (all of whom expressed their support for the project) together with rep￿SentatIveS of the
haemalology ￿ntre In Bucuresli A marketing campaign was also launched Iincluding posters gn display

existing donofs to sign up In order lo be a donor whose blc¥Jd woukl be allocated to a specrfi¢ recipient
with 8 very close blood type match
As al the end ol December 2021, we We￿ told that the project had not achieved ils objectives and has not
led lo any donors syning up lo donate bl¢)od on a speCrf￿ dale for the benefrt of a pa￿"Cular indNidual
recipient.
We have been a¢fvised that an unanlictpaled problem wh￿h occurred was a lack of enlhusiasm for the
project on the ground in the Var￿U$ bl¢)od transfusion cenlres. Another problem occuired with the web 8ile
whereby a te¢hnico1 issue may have caused the names of volunteer donors to be erased
This Innovative Pfojecl invofved 8 degree of rrsk. bul the failure to aetively support this project by local staff
was not anlicipaled as this was In direct contrast to what we were told was a high level of buy-ln by
regional bhx)d transfusion centre managers
In 2022, trustees will decide whether lo cancel the project and seek repayment of any outstanding monies
provided, or to approve the use of remaining funds lo r&launch thè campaign ulilising informal contaels
and friends in the sector to overcome the apparent apathy sh¢)wn by bk)od transfvsion centre directors.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of SUNNINGDALE PARK ROMANIA APPEAL** 

We report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out in the document above. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is our responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 

- (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
