Welcome to the OCD-UK Annual Report for 2021

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.

CATHERINE - Chair

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 continuing global impact the COVID-19 pandemic caused during 2021. Increased wait times for NHS treatment led to more demand on our services. More lockdown fears meant we remained largely delivering online during the year, typified by our online support groups which have flourished under Kirstie and Gemma's guidance. 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.

In January 2021 I started working with a Therapist, Anne, to help me deal with some of the consequences I was experiencing as a result of my OCD. To explain briefly, I have found some of my intrusive thoughts to be quite traumatic and Anne suggested we try a technique called EMDR to help process these thoughts and reduce some of the distress I

Lifting of lockdown restrictions then generated more fears for many with OCD, where the pandemic caused their usual fears and worries to morph into all new terrifying intrusive thoughts aligned to the virus and spreading it to loved ones.

So the COVID-19 pandemic continued to play a significant impact on what we could deliver and what we needed to deliver during 2021.

was experiencing from having them. I have found this therapy very helpful and it has helped me reduce the amount of ‘neutralising’ I do from having the thoughts.

The dedication and commitment of our staff during the year was exemplary with Gemma, Kirstie and Zoe working all year round to deliver vital services for children and adults affected by OCD. We also welcomed new volunteers like Evelyn and Bismah to the team.

Another approach we took was to help me develop a more compassionate response to these thoughts. Like many people with OCD, I have a tendency to ‘beat myself up’ because I have these distressing and repugnant thoughts. For me, this often takes the form of denying myself food and this can be a very slippery slope. So we have been engaging in Compassion Focussed Therapy and trying to reduce my tendency to punish myself.

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 who supported OCD-UK in some capacity.

Having also experienced CBT for my OCD, I see the above therapies as complementing the evidence-based approach of CBT. They are not a replacement for CBT but rather have helped me manage some of the secondary difficulties that can arise from having OCD. CBT remains the first line therapeutic approach for OCD but I have also found it helpful to explore other, complementary models too.

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, as Ashley found out, so we’re not going to stop until our vision has become a reality.

ASHLEY - Chief Executive

Not that I needed a wake-up call for where we are in terms of people accessing NHS treatment for OCD, but I am going to be honest and say I had a stark realisation in 2021 when I reached out to my local Derbyshire 'Improving Access to Psychological Therapies' service.

OCD-UK still has much work to do; we hope that our passion and determination inspires those around us and creates hope for those who need it most. With your help we can work as one, united behind our shared vision of life without the impact of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Despite frequently being debilitated by the ravages of OCD forcing me to spend two to three hours cleaning when triggered, sometimes with pure bleach, I was told I did not meet clinical criteria for treatment (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I was shocked and bewildered. It was only when I put in a formal complaint that the service admitted they had got their decision wrong and relented, finally offering me treatment.

Wishing you all good mental health.

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

But it should not take a formal complaint to get me the treatment I so desperately needed when I reached out for help. If this has happened to me when I know the system so well, then it can happen to anybody. It also shows how much more work the charity has to do and the importance of independent charities like OCD-UK in providing those needing help with information about their rights in accessing OCD treatment.

Structure, Governance and Management of OCD-UK during 2021

OCD-UK patron Professor Paul Salkovskis 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 2021, 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 2,486 hours to OCD-UK during 2021, in monetary terms worth at least £36,345 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 on the 14th 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. Other volunteers not included in the above figures have also contributed their time to actively support the research and media work that we promote. The trustees of OCD-UK remain grateful for the donation of time that volunteers give to our charity. We recognise that we can achieve even more with their assistance, and we must provide them with regular support, training and supervision to help them in their role.

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.

Patrons

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, anxiety charity colleagues, health professionals and media personalities who kindly donated their time to offer support and assistance during 2021. The number of people highlights the collaboration between OCD-UK and health professionals.

Staff

The charity had two full-time members of staff during 2021, 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, and Zoe Wilson our Children, Young People and Parents lead. We were also supported by two part-time members of staff: Gemma Blueitt our Support Co-Ordinator (four days per week), and Kirstie McBryan our Online Groups Manager (three days per week).

Financial Review 2021

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 2021 accounts can be found on our website and accompanying this annual report.

OCD-UK income for 2021 was £229,664 with expenditure of £169,006. It’s worth noting that some of the funds carried forward is restricted grant funding and is due to be spent in 2022. Therefore, whilst the charity's financial situation is healthy, we still have less than one year's running costs in reserve which we need to work towards.

OCD-UK is relatively self-sufficient in the respect that most of our core email and helpline support 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 again during 2021. Donations decreased in 2021, in part because during the start of 2020 we received a single generous legacy left to the charity. We also believe an increase in small donations during the first part of the pandemic in 2020 was because people were not going out and were able to make more smaller donations.

However, fundraising income increased significantly in 2021 as events like the Great North Run took place again after being cancelled during the pandemic in 2020. Your virtual and 1.2 Challenge fundraising was utterly amazing and continued into 2021 so 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 2021 did increase, primarily because of increased staffing hours.

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. We are proud of the fact that our services were operated by just four members of staff (only two are fulltime) in 2021.

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

  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.

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

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.
