The Trustees have adopted the provision of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102) ## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT ## Constitution OSCAR Birmingham Limited was incorporated on 13 December 2004 and registered as a charity on 3 June 2005. The charity remained dormant until 1 April 2008 when the assets, liabilities, and activities of OSCAR (Birmingham) (charity number 702847) were transferred. OSCAR Birmingham Limited operates under its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 13 December 2004 and as amended by resolution dated 2 April 2007. ## Method of appointment or election of Trustees All trustees must be members of the charitable organisation. The trustees of the charity are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law. All board members are circulated with invitations to potential trustees. A detailed list of candidates, who have expressed an interest in becoming a trustee, is presented to a full board meeting for consideration and decision. When considering coopting trustees, the board has regard to the requirement for any specialist skills needed. Trustees appointed during the year must stand for re-appointment at the next Annual General Meeting. The Directors who served during the year are shown on the reference and administration section on page 1. All members of the board gave their time voluntarily and any expenses reclaimed from the charity are reflected in the financial statements. The constitution of the charity requires a minimum of seven and maximum of ten trustees. Action is being taken to address this. The Charity Commission are aware of this. ## Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees All new trustees undergo induction training and are provided with an induction pack to brief them on their legal obligations under charity law. The induction covers the constitution, the committee and decision-making process, the business plan and the recent financial performance of the charity. OSCAR Birmingham Ltd Year Ending March 2022 ## ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING The charitable organisation is governed by its Board of Trustees, who is responsible for formulating its Strategies and policies including the approval of budgets and the exercising of financial controls. The Board of Trustees meets on a regular basis. The trustees delegate the day to day running of the charitable organisation to Strategic Development Manager and operational staff. ## POLICIES & OBJECTIVES The objects of the charity as set out in the constitution are: - - To promote the relief of persons suffering from Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia disorders. - To educate the public to increase their knowledge and understanding of such disorders. - To promote research into the nature, prevalence, treatment and prevention of Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia disorders and to disseminate and publish the useful results of such research. ## CHARITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT OSCAR Birmingham is a voluntary organisation based in Birmingham. It was established to provide advice, support and counselling to individuals, families and carers affected by the Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Blood disorder. Both are potentially life-threatening disorders which disproportionately affect black and ethnic minority (BAME) communities. Our mission is to educate, support and provide relevant information through signposting, advocacy, and assistance. Through our work with partners, we will raise awareness of these conditions. Demand for OSCAR services continue, due to the demographics of the Birmingham population who are at risk of inheriting Sickle cell or Thalassaemia Blood Disorders. We have seen an increase of service users with both Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia especially from African, Asian and European Countries migrating to the area. OSCAR Birmingham Ltd Year Ending March 2022 ## Overview-Sickle Cell Sickle cell disease is the name for a group of inherited health conditions that affect the red blood cells. The most serious type is called sickle cell anaemia. Sickle cell disease is particularly common in people with an African or Caribbean family background. People with sickle cell disease produce unusually shaped red blood cells that can cause problems and can block blood vessels. Sickle cell disease is caused by a gene that affects how red blood cells develop. If both parents have the gene, there's a 1 in 4 chance of each child they have being born with sickle cell disease. The child's parents often will not have sickle cell disease themselves and they're only carriers of the sickle cell trait. Sickle cell disease is a serious and lifelong health condition, although treatment can help manage some of the symptoms. ## The main symptoms of Sickle Cell disease are: - Painful episodes called sickle cell crises, which can be very severe and last up to a week - An increased risk of serious infections - Anaemia (where red blood cells cannot carry enough oxygen around the body), which can cause tiredness and shortness of breath. Some people also experience other problems, such as delayed growth, strokes and lung problems. ## Overview-Thalassaemia People with thalassaemia produce either no or too little haemoglobin, which is used by red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body. This can make them very anaemic (tired, short of breath and pale). It mainly affects people of Mediterranean, south Asian, southeast Asian and Middle Eastern origin. There are different types of thalassaemia, which can be divided into alpha and beta thalassaemia. Beta thalassaemia major is the most severe type. Other types include beta thalassaemia intermedia, alpha thalassaemia major and haemoglobin H disease. It's also possible to be a "carrier" of thalassaemia, also known as having the thalassaemia trait. ## The main health problems associated with Thalassaemia are: - Anaemia – severe tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, pounding, fluttering or irregular heartbeats (palpitations) and pale skin caused by the lack of haemoglobin - Too much iron in the body – this is caused by the regular blood transfusions used to treat anaemia and can cause problems with the heart, liver and hormone levels if untreated. Some people may also have delayed growth, weak and fragile bones (osteoporosis), and reduced fertility. OSCAR Birmingham Ltd Year Ending March 2022 ## Summary This report provides opportunity to showcase our work, how we have supported the local Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia community, wider strategic partnership and networks. The past twelve months we have been able to develop and build on our strengths to increase our service provision and reach across Birmingham and Solihull, supporting recovery for vulnerable citizens, carers and their families who have been disproportionately impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. We are proud as an independent local charity to highlight key achievements in our report, given the challenges we face in this current economic and financial environment. Thank you to all our beneficiaries who participated in our activities, services, and support. A sincere heartfelt thank you to our staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and commitment in making a difference to the community.
