## Structure, Governance and Management of OCD-UK during 2023 

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 2023, 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 1,266 hours to OCD-UK during 2023, in monetary terms worth at least £15,825 to the charity. 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. 

## **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. 

## **Our Structure** 

The board of trustees is the governing body of the charity. It is 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** 

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. 

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 and anxiety charity colleagues, health professionals and media personalities who kindly donated their time to offer support and assistance during 2023. The number of people highlights the collaboration between OCD-UK and health professionals. 

## **Membership** 

Membership of OCD-UK is open to any individual with an interest in OCD or the charity’s work. At the end of 2023 the charity had 828 active members (up slightly from 822 at the end of 2022). Members are entitled to attend the AGM and to one vote per discussion.

OCD-UK is a membership-based charity, managed by a team of dedicated trustees which make up our executive membership committee. 

These are endorsed and elected by our members at our Annual General Meeting. They are all members who have volunteered for the charity for a period of time before being approached to become a trustee.  They receive no remuneration, other than essential working costs approved by the charity. 

Uniquely, OCD-UK is completely service-user led; all of our trustees have suffered or have a close family member suffering with OCD. It's this insight that allows us to make informed decisions about the direction we shape your charity.

If you have used any of our services during 2023 then you will undoubtedly have already met some or all of Team OCD-UK.  During 2023 the OCD-UK services were run by five people. Pictured are (L-R) Ashley Fulwood, Zoë Wilson, Laura Hickman and Sara Padwick. We were joined in 2023 by former OCD-UK Young Ambassdaor Mia Hill, who joined the team as a staff member and we were delighted to welcome Mia to Team OCD-UK. 

One of the unique aspects of OCD-UK is the fact that the team are all service-users themselves, they have all experienced OCD first-hand, which means the work is not just a job for the team. Their dedication, passion and commitment is evident in the work they do.  The team are all highly professional, and again in 2023 managed to punch above their weight in terms of service delivered for the limited resources available to the charity.

**2023 Annual Report**

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the OCD-UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## 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 2022 ('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.

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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
