Our Purpose
The Daisy Garland is a national registered charity working exclusively for children and young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Our Aims
-
To raise awareness about childhood epilepsy, the ketogenic diet and SUDEP (sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy)
-
To fund specially trained Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitians to work within NHS hospitals nationwide allowing children and young adults to benefit from this drug-free treatment
-
To provide positive support for the parents and carers of children and young adults diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy
The Daisy Garland
The Daisy Garland was set-up in 2004 in memory of our brave and wonderful daughter Daisy. Daisy was diagnosed with complex epilepsy when she was 5 1/2 months old. For almost 2 years we battled with one anticonvulsant drug after another, each drug took Daisy further away from us and brought with it more seizures and unwanted side-effects. In January 2000 at the age of 22 months, Daisy started the ketogenic diet - a drug-free treatment which gradually reduced the severity and frequency of her seizures. Tragically in April 2004 Daisy died in her sleep from SUDEP.
1
The Ketogenic Diet
In the UK there are over 60,000 children under the age of 16 suffering from epilepsy. More than 18,000 have what is termed as drug-resistant epilepsy, this means their seizures continue in spite of medication.
Recommended in the NICE guidelines the ketogenic diet is a medically recognised and accepted therapy for children with drug-resistant epilepsy. It is important to note that the diet must only be carried out under the close supervision of a trained ketogenic dietitian and a neurologist.
Over the last 18 years, The Daisy Garland has been instrumental in bringing the ketogenic diet to the forefront in the UK funding 30 Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitians/Dietetic Support Workers (see map below) all of whom offer a free countrywide ketogenic service to children and young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Statistics show just over 50% of children on the ketogenic diet will experience over 50% seizure control, about a third will see more than 90% improvement and about 10-15% will be seizure-free.

Welcome from our Chair
As we close our financial year for 2022, I am uplifted by our continued resilience in light of the debilitating impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the charity sector.
One of our most significant achievements in the past year has been forging a new partnership with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. A collaboration which sees us
expanding our support into new areas across Cambridgeshire, This is in line with our 2021-2022 strategy to expand our reach, and is testament to the clear need for specialist support for children and young adults diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy.
The financial performance of The Daisy Garland charity has continued to benefit from the generosity of our supporters and donors and our income streams have continued to remain strong. I am humbled by the generosity of those who have donated and raised funds for us in an increasingly difficult economic climate and I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us this year, and to our incredible staff and dedicated volunteers.
With our wealth of experience and the strength of your unswerving support I am confident we can achieve even more in the coming year.
David Garland - Chair of Trustees

Welcome from our CEO
It was another difficult year for many as we all came to terms with the fundamental changes in how we live and work.
However, I am very happy to report that thanks to the passion and tenacity of my dedicated team and the unwavering generosity of our loyal supporters, we made it through! Our work is vital, it saves and transforms lives. I am proud to say that everyone rose
to the tough challenge and we delivered exceptional support for 1,000’s of families, including bereaved families.
This year we funded 4 new ketogenic positions within the NHS, expanded our Mindfulness and Green Shoots projects, and we were thrilled to receive an invitation to The Royal Garden Party in recognition of our work.
Every family we help and every project we launch depends not only on the tireless commitment and inspirational work of our remarkable team, but on the loyal support of fundraisers, Trusts and Foundations. Together we make a real difference. My profound thanks to you all.
I sincerely hope that you are inspired by our achievements and will continue to champion our work so we can make the world a better place for those with drug-resistant epilepsy and their families.

Life-saving Support
“Logan had his first seizure at 7 weeks old where he stopped breathing. He was rushed into hospital where they had to give him adrenaline to keep his heart going. It was the worst day of our lives. I thought I was going to lose him. Our Daisy Garland SATs monitor helps reduce the worry when we put him to bed and gives us huge peace of mind...” Vicky, mum to Logan, 3 months, NE England.
Transforming Lives
“Tia is under the care of a Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitian. Before the ketogenic diet Tia had tried 6 anticonvulsant medications and was having up to 200 seizures a night. It’s now over 9 months since my daughter’s last seizure. This is a dream come true. I’m so, so happy! The Daisy Garland have given us such brilliant support throughout our keto journey. I’ve honestly never come across a charity like them.” Chloe, mum to Tia, 3 years, Lancashire.

Working in collaboration with 16 NHS Trusts The Daisy Garland offer pump-prime funding for specialist trained ketogenic dietitians to work in hospitals from the South-West of England to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our dietitians provide a much-needed, free, countrywide service for children and young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Funding is offered for an agreed timeframe (usually 2 years) supported through the aid of grant funding until such time it becomes a commissioned service in its own right. It is our policy to raise as much of the required funds as possible prior to committing to a new service to ensure that ongoing future ketogenic funding demands can be met.
We’re Making a Difference!
10 years ago, with Daisy Garland funding, Vicki Whiteley our Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitian set up a long awaited ketogenic service at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. We are immensely proud to have initiated and supported this service which has since tripled in size supporting 300+ children with drug-resistant epilepsy.

The Daisy Garland work in collaboration with The Neurological Alliance, England’s leading coalition of organisations and professional bodies supporting people with neurological conditions – over 90 organisations working together to ensure that every person affected by a neurological condition can access the right treatment, care and support at the right time.
Our Involvement in the Advancement of Medical Nutrition
We continued to work with management teams specialising in medical nutrition specifically tailored to support children on the ketogenic diet. Families are always keen to trial new products under the close supervision of their ketogenic dietitian. We continue to work and strengthen relationships with Nutricia, Vitaflo and Ketocare foods and are grateful for their support and for the opportunity for our dietitians and families to be involved in the medical advancement of ketogenic nutrition.
Nutrition
Our website recipes page received over 34,000 hits from families looking for keto menu inspiration with over 80 easy to follow recipes from nut-free bread rolls to yummy jammie dodgers it’s easy to see why! Our professional keto cookery videos, featuring Chef Derek (and kindly sponsored by Nutricia), have been a big hit too, demonstrating quick and easy ways to make keto-friendly bread and cakes as well as tasty main meals and lunch box treats. Our cookery videos can be viewed via our website.

BPNA Conference 2022
The Daisy Garland, along with experts from around the globe working in the field of Neurology, attended the British Paediatric Neurological Association Annual Conference in January. Our virtual stand was hugely popular throughout this two day event which provided a wonderful opportunity to share our resources and raise epilepsy/ ketogenic awareness in order to widen our reach with medical professionals.
ESNA Conference
Over 100 Daisy Garland epilepsy awareness packs were well received by delegates attending the Epilepsy Nurses Association Conference held in Glasgow. Our extensive efforts to increase contact with epilepsy nurses has resulted in a 58% growth in referrals from medical professionals this year.
Wrap-around Family Support
“One of the major elements of having a child with epilepsy is the constant need to stay on top of research and the constant battle of trying and testing meds, equipment and foods. When I first learnt about The Daisy Garland charity, I was astounded that I had landed in a place where a lot of the trial and error had been done before me. The Daisy Garland is a fountain of completely relevant knowledge. For the first time ever, I didn’t have to go hunting for information, it was all under one roof and had come from a place of real lived experience. This was priceless to me. The Daisy Garland awarded us a grant for an epilepsy monitor. Our monitor helps keep Tommy safe and gives me the opportunity to sleep. Something I haven’t done for a very long time. The Daisy Garland has wrapped their arms around us as a family in more ways than one and we will be forever grateful.” Charlene, mum to Tommy, 4, SW England.

Financial Review
The financial performance of The Daisy Garland charity has continued to benefit from the generosity of our supporters and donors and our income streams have continued to remain strong.
We receive no government or statutory funding so rely entirely on these voluntary donations. We would like to express a heartfelt thank you to every company, individual, Trust and Foundation who supported our work this year.
As we emerged from the worst impacts of the pandemic, further challenges presented in the form of the economic downturn and those challenges remain. The economic impacts of the war in Ukraine, price inflation and Brexit have potential impacts on our sponsors and donors and their ability to support the charity. However, although showing a decrease against the previous year our income streams have held up well considering the difficult conditions that the UK economy is facing.
The statement of financial activities for 2022 shows total incoming funds were £288,255 (2021 £326,583) a 13.2% decrease. Bearing in the mind the increase in funds carried forward for 2021 (£406,424) compared to 2020 (£303,863) coupled with the fact that income streams are remaining consistent. The charity Trustees agreed to recommence funding for NHS ketogenic dietetic positions. Therefore, total outgoing funds were £410,948 (2021 £224,022) an 83.4% increase, giving rise to net incoming funds of - £122,693 for the year (2021 net incoming funds £102,561).
In light of the above the total funds carried forward as of 31st August 2022 (£283,731) showed a 43.2% decrease compared to 2021 (£406,424). The Trustees of the charity adopt a prudent approach to managing the resources at their disposal and will only commit to funding expenditure which can be supported by received income or existing reserves.
In the coming year we will continue to support the increasing number of families seeking our help. We will continue to fund specialist ketogenic dietetic services operating within the NHS. We will also look to build upon the invaluable full wrap-around support provided for children with difficult to control epilepsy and their families.
13
Financial Review (continued)
Reserves Policy
The Daisy Garland exists to support children and young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy and their families. The Trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to cover the loss of all funding incomes to enable the operation to continue for a minimum of 12 months whilst alternative replacement funding is sought, or activity is adjusted to reflect likely future income. The Trustees confirm that this objective was met throughout the year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Daisy Garland
Year ended 31 August 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Daisy Garland ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), which is one of the listed bodies.
The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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 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.

2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future projects or commitments.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
24
The Daisy Garland
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 August 2022
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
