2024 Annual Report
OCD -UK
OCD-UK IN 2024 The OCD charity run by and for people affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
As we enter our third decade, we have already helped thousands of children and adults affected by OCD. We are committed to working with our supporters and partners towards better treatment outcomes and improved quality of life for all those affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
2024 marked the charity's 20[th] anniversary, and during the year we took time to reflect on two decades of being the UK's independent voice for people affected by OCD.
We have grown a lot since those early days, from one employee using their back room for an office to an ever growing office and a team of five (with a sixth due to join in 2025).
As an organisation, we have expanded and evolved, and we have learned from the people we work with. The National Lottery Community Funded 'Parents Project' is indicative of that, as it is a project that has been tweaked and tailored over time to make good use of modern technology to help support parents of children with OCD (CAMHS age).

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 is 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 2024 then you will undoubtedly have already met some or all of Team OCD-UK. During 2024 the OCD-UK services were run by five people. Pictured are (L-R) Ashley Fulwood, Zoë Wilson, Sara Padwick, Laura Hickman and Mia Hill, with a new full time colleague due to join us in early 2025.
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 2024 managed to punch above their weight in terms of service delivered for the limited resources available to the charity.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of OCD-UK
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of OCD-UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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 have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
