Welcome to the OCD-UK Annual Report for 2020

by Ashley Fulwood Chief Executive and Catherine Mills Chair of OCD-UK

As a charity, OCD-UK has always embodied openness, so we want to share with you our little glimpses into our OCD this year, the challenges, the lessons learned and our successes against it.

OCD-UK

In reflecting on the work of the charity in the past year it would be impossible to do so without reflecting on the global impact the COVID-19 pandemic caused. Non more so than for those with OCD, where the virus created its own obsessive worry for those with OCD as the virus caused their usual fears and worries to morph into all new terrifying intrusive thoughts aligned to the virus. For others with OCD, the pandemic meant even coping with everyday routines already full of draining and exhaustive compulsions became harder because of the lack of cleaning products that some with OCD already relied heavily upon.

ASHLEY - Chief Executive

OCD really does have an habit of sneaking up when you least expect it doesn’t it. For me, I had felt rather confident in my ability to deal with the pandemic through March, but at some point OCD got hold and decided to push me to do more and more. Dettol spraying of keys and phones each time I came back from the shops, door handles and even my wallet. Such was the uncertainty of the period, the OCD had crept up on me before I realised.

For the charity it meant a huge spike in demand for our services through March and April. We are proud of how we worked to meet that demand, it meant long hours for our small team who worked tirelessly, especially in those first couple of weeks of March to create OCD and COVID advice and resources.

The pandemic also saw much of the world think they had OCD and I will never forget that devastating article published in the Wall Street Journal where a Dr in the US wrote “We all need OCD now”. The inaccurate and stigmatic articles were frequent.

As a charity we were allowed to continue operating and it was only when my colleague Zoe was working from the office one day noticed my behaviour after a courier delivery, and being the ultimate professional she is with compassion and caring along with a little dollop of the banter that we share, highlighted to me what my OCD was forcing me to do was unnecessary.

As we write this the world feels like we may now be slowly moving out of the pandemic, but sadly the consequences for those with OCD will remain for many years to come in terms of suffering and battling the stigma.

Thankfully I soon stopped those behaviours and I remain grateful for colleagues and friends that support me in challenging my OCD.

Whilst the pandemic created global misery, one consequence that could be labelled positive was the online services it forced the charity to implement through 2020. Both our online support groups and our virtual conference went on to help thousands of people, far more than had we hosted events face-to-face.

CATHERINE - Chair

The global pandemic hit the world and presented challenges never seen in this generation. For me personally it challenged me in a slightly different way. It wasn’t so much fear of COVID as having to confront a change in routine. My life is governed by OCD routines and rituals and overnight these were turned upside down. One example was at work and the change to home working and the move to online meetings. Suddenly my normal daily routines were thrown into chaos and I found this very

It allowed us to offer everyone the chance to feel they have a platform through OCD-UK to create powerful supportive connections that help them communicate and help each other.

Helping us deliver those services were two new staff members, both former OCD-UK volunteers, Gemma Blueitt and Kirstie McBryan, whom we welcomed during the summer.

But despite everything that was going on last year, the support of our supporters never waned. So, to each and every person who has given their support and donated their time or money to OCD-UK, may we offer our heartfelt thanks. The successes we’ve seen this year as a charity would not have been possible without your drive, passion and generous support during such a difficult time for the nation – so on behalf of the people we support, thank you to all of you that supported OCD-UK in some capacity.

We wrote last year that our aspiration is for the UK to be a place where everyone has access to the best possible treatment, ensuring that the devastating impact of OCD is reduced significantly. Right now, that is still not happening in many areas, and as been made worse by the pandemic, so we’re not going to stop until our vision has become a reality. OCD-UK still has much work to do, we hope that our passion and determination inspires those around us, helps and creates hope for those that need it most and together with your help, works as one, united behind our shared vision of life without the impact of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

distressing and without doubt it affected my mood. As lockdown progressed I found myself developing new OCD routines and rituals and despite trying to challenge them, they seem to have become more ingrained as time has gone by. As ever with OCD, it seems to have a way of mutating or morphing with a change of circumstances. It doesn’t lessen, it just changes and comes back to haunt you in different ways.

Wishing you good mental health,

All this makes the work of OCD-UK increasingly relevant in today’s climate of uncertainty. The charity has responded to the challenges presented by COVID and been there to support those most affected.

Ashley Fulwood Catherine Mills Chief Executive of OCD-UK Chair of OCD-UK Both have lived experience of OCD.

n July 2019 we reported on our success in securing a National Lottery Community Fund grant of almost £113,000, to develop much needed education and support for parents of children that suffer from IObsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

The plan to deliver workshops across the East Midlands had to be changed because of the pandemic, so a series of online webinars helped over 100 parents during 2020.

WELCOME TO PEP TALK

Introducing Zoë

Zoë Wilson is the project leader of our Parents Educational Project and she has lived experience of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Zoë is passionate about this project and is determined to make a difference to as many families' lives as possible. Diagnosed with OCD in her early 20s, Zoë has witnessed the effects that the disorder has on the whole family, not just the sufferer.

The shaping of this project has been a collaborative effort between service users and health professionals as the picture above of Zoë working alongside Professor Paul Salkovskis in the development of our parents project shows.

The project is called OCD ‘PEP’ Talk (Parents Education Project) and its ultimate objective is to improve the quality of life for children (aged 5-18) suffering from OCD and their families. We plan to achieve this through the education, support and empowerment of parents. PEP Talk will create, design and deliver:

• Freely accessible OCD educational courses for parents of children with OCD across the East Midlands

• A library of online video resources for parents to address the top 50 frequently asked questions about OCD and treatment

• Additional online self-help resources for parents

• Regular webinars offering practical support and advice for parents

• • Presentations at our annual conference, specifically for parents of children suffering from OCD - The first of these took place in November with some of the videos already available on our website at: www.ocduk.org/parents .

Over the course of two years, we will be delivering workshops across the East Midlands, 8 per year and possibly more if we can. We are mindful that parents who live outside of the East Midlands would also greatly benefit from the services that this grant is allowing us to deliver, which is why these workshops are open to anyone, regardless of location, provided they can travel.

The workshops are free of charge and focus on children suffering from OCD in the CAMHS stage (Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services). The objectives we aim to achieve during these workshops are the following:

• Restore hope

• Reassure you as parents

• Gain a better understanding of the OCD bully and how it works

• • Understand how to work together

• Understand different pathways to recovery

The workshops will be delivered by Zoë Wilson, who is our project lead for children, young people and parents (see right).

Introducing Gemma

hanks to the Coronavirus Community Support Fund set up by the Government in 2020 and distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund , we were able to expand our support Tservices and we welcomed Gemma Blueiit (pictured left) to the team as our new support coordinator.

Introducing Gemma

Hi my name is Gemma and I am the Support Coordinator for OCD-UK. I was first diagnosed with OCD while at university, when I was 20 years old. Due to receiving therapy that can only be described as useless in my early twenties, I didn’t look to therapy until I was at my lowest point in 2014. It was then that I bought a self-book I’d seen recommended by OCD-UK and it is through self-help that I’m now on the path to recovery.

I have been volunteering for OCD-UK for five years now, and hope that my role of Support Coordinator will allow the charity to help even more people access support for themselves or a loved one.

As Support Coordinator my role is to respond to support emails, forum posts and helpline calls and I am currently recruiting and training helpline volunteers to join our fantastic team.

Structure, Governance and Management of OCD-UK during 2020

OCD-UK’s Ashley and trustee Kylie at the 2019 OCD-UK conference in Northampton.

The chair of OCD-UK presents the annual report at the charity’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year.

Volunteers

OCD-UK had many committed and regular active volunteers across the UK during 2020, most of whom have been directly affected by OCD. Their selfless personal commitment has been the cornerstone of OCD-UK’s success in delivering its aims and objectives. We estimate that our volunteers have donated at least 2,008 hours to OCD-UK during 2020, in monetary terms worth at least £29,357 to the charity.

Legal Status

OCD-UK was founded in December 2003 and formed as a charity under a constitution in January 2004. We were officially registered with the UK charity commission in April 2004. The charity registration number is 1103210.

These volunteers have helped us provide direct support online and offline, facilitated support groups, worked on our website and publications, or helped at our events or conferences.

Our Structure

The board of trustees is the governing body of the charity. It’s their role to establish the policies, objectives and procedures for the charity to ensure the effective running of the organisation in pursuit of its long-term objectives.

Other volunteers not included in the above figures have also contributed their time to actively support the research and media work that we promote.

Patrons

The trustees of OCD-UK remain grateful to the donation of time that volunteers give to our charity, we recognise that we can achieve even more with their assistance and that we must provide them with regular support, training and supervision to help our volunteers in their role.

We are honoured to be supported in our work by two patrons, actor and writer Ian Puleston-Davies and highly respected Professor Paul Salkovskis from the University of Oxford.

We are also supported in our work by overseas ambassador Professor Adam Radomsky, from Concordia University, Montreal.

Professionals

We would also like to acknowledge our gratitude and thanks to the following accountancy, legal, health professionals and media personalities who kindly donated their time to offer support and assistance during 2020. The number of people highlights the collaboration between OCD-UK and health professionals.

Staff

The charity had three full-time members of staff during 2020, the chief executive officer (CEO), Ashley Fulwood, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the charity and for implementing policies and working towards the objectives agreed by the charity’s management trustees. Zoe Wilson our Children, Young People and Parents lead, and from August, Gemma Blueitt our Support Co-Ordinator. From July we also had one part-time member of staff, Kirstie McBryan who became our Online Groups Manager.

Drawing OCD with Zoë

Drawing OCD with Zoë

During our online conference weekend, we hosted a workshop called ‘ Drawing OCD ’ in the ‘Creative Corner’ section of the virtual conference hotel. The workshop was available to those who were interested in using creativity to express themselves.

The workshop host Zoë was blown away with the feedback and decided to make the workshops available more frequently to give those who enjoy creativity a place to express themselves and connect with other people who have OCD.

workshop designed to bring people together to use creativity as escapism from the debilitating grind of OCD.

Over the last year we have hosted several of the ‘Drawing OCD’ workshops. We were joined by some wonderfully artistic people who have shared some of their workshop artwork like these pieces . ”

NEW OCD-UK ONLINE OCD SUPPORT GROUPS

We are delighted to announce the launch of our OCD-UK Zoom Support Groups.

B ecause of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic all OCD-UK hosted support groups were suspended during 2020.

Manager and look forward to meeting you all!” .

We will be hosting Zoom video support group meetings every Tuesday evening (from 7pm) and Thursday morning (from 10:15am). There will also be regular themed meetings on Wednesdays (times will vary, but usually evenings).

However, in the summer we were delighted to announce the launch of our OCD-UK Zoom Support Groups that are funded by a grant from the government, the ‘ Coronavirus Mental Health Response Fund ' which is being administrated by the mental health charity, Mind .

The groups are generally very relaxed and always friendly. We are a recovery focused charity and our groups aim to give people the space to share how OCD is impacting on them, to help reduce their isolation, but also to help people focus on what they can try next or to help them think differently about OCD.

As part of that project we were delighted to appoint long-term OCD-UK member and volunteer, Kirstie McBryan as our new Online Groups Manager.

“Hello, my name is Kirstie and I am the Online Groups Manager for OCD-UK. I was diagnosed with OCD at 18 which is when I discovered OCD-UK whilst looking for support.

Those attending are under no obligation to talk, many first time users prefer to sit and watch and listen the first time they join one of our meetings.

We do encourage all users to be on camera, as this helps normalise the meeting and people feel more relaxed in seeing each other. However, if you don't feel confident to remain on camera, some people start the meeting on camera to wave during the introductions and then turn their camera off.

I have previously been involved with the charity in a voluntary capacity since 2004. My roles have included telephone and email support, administrator for the OCDUK forums, organising and hosting the OCD-UK Glasgow conference in 2017, fundraising and facilitating the Edinburgh OCD-UK support group for two years. I am excited to have been asked to undertake the role [e-mail] of OCD-UK’s Online Groups

Whilst our meetings are designed and best accessed faceto-face rather than by telephone/audio, you can take part by accessing audio only through your telephone, details of which can be provided by Kirstie when you register for a meeting. Please note call charges from your telephone provider will apply if calling in. <

My Support Group Experience By Paula Duncan

OCD can be a very isolating condition. Intrusive thoughts can be incredibly difficult to share with other people. For me, this was initially a huge barrier to receiving treatment; I was too frightened to tell anyone about the thoughts I was having. It also feels OCD creates a different set of rules for me that can be hard to explain to someone without the condition.

When I attended my first OCD-UK support group on Zoom, I felt such an immense sense of relief because I immediately felt both understood and safe to talk. I was a little nervous; I wasn’t very familiar with Zoom and there are currently no support groups in my area. I’m incredibly glad I went though. I hadn’t expected to say anything during my first meeting, but everyone made me feel at ease straight away. To get the conversation going, we had a discussion around OCD in the workplace and it was nice being able to hear how other people handled this and share my own worries about my workplace during COVID-19.

I’ve now been to a few of the support group meetings and I’m looking forward to attending more in the future. Like many people, I’ve been finding it difficult to keep on top of my OCD during the coronavirus pandemic but being in such a supportive environment has helped me refocus on my therapy goals. Hearing other people’s views has helped me make sense of things I’ve been struggling with and given me some new strategies to better manage my OCD.

I’ve been able to draw strength and courage from the support group sessions, whether I talk or just listen. It’s an incredible comfort just to be able to say, ‘I’m not alone in this.’

Financial Review 2020

Our financial year mirrors the calendar year, and runs from 1st January to 31st December annually.

Our annual accounts are also subject to review by an independent chartered accountant. We are grateful to Eric O’Connor and the team at Nicholson Tax & Accounts of Derbyshire for examining our accounts. A copy of the full 2020 accounts can be found on our website and accompanying this annual report.

OCD-UK income for 2020 was £226,291 with expenditure of £160,991. Accordingly, we are reporting an annual surplus of £65,300 leaving the charity with an overall surplus of £112,434. It’s worth noting that some of this surplus is restricted grant funding and is due to be spent in 2021. Therefore, whilst the charities financial situation is healthy, we still have less than one years running costs in reserve which we need to work towards.

Despite the pandemic, 2020 proved to be our best ever year financially, in part due to the incredible generosity of our supporters with donations and receiving additional COVID-19 relief grants. OCD-UK is relatively self-sufficient in the respect that most of our core services are not reliant on charitable grant income, with the majority of our income arriving through the kind generosity of our supporters.

Donations, fundraising and membership remain our primary source of core continuing income, with membership numbers increasing during 2020. Donations also actually increased significantly in 2020, in part through a single generous legacy left to the charity. However, even without that generous single

legacy your support during the pandemic means our donation income would still have been increased on 2020.

However, fundraising income decreased slightly in 2020, but considering most events like the Great North Run were cancelled due to the pandemic your virtual and 1.2 Challenge fundraising was utterly amazing and meant the impact was not significant. We thank you!

We do see a fluctuation in fundraising income as a trend in cycles every 2-3 years. We have some very loyal supporters and members who are happy to fundraise for our charity, but are unable to fundraise every year. We do still face the dilemma of stigma still preventing some people with OCD being able to ask family and friends to sponsor them for an OCD charity.

Throughout these difficult economic times that the pandemic created, the support for our vital work has been astonishing for which we remain incredibly grateful.

Our charity is managed prudently, vital in these times of economic uncertainty but our core expenditure in 2020 did increase, primarily because of two new staff joining us.

We are always exploring new opportunities to make our limited resources go further and we work hard to get the most from our income by making our organisation’s operating structure as efficient as possible, and we are proud of the fact that our services were operated by just three full time members of staff in 2020, from August, only two staff members from January to July.

The chart below shows a comparison over the last three years of our income from fundraising, donations and membership.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF OCD-UK

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of OCD-UK

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the OCD-UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

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