REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

In 2024, the charity encountered a challenging economic landscape characterised by widespread reductions in revenue streams. These declines were largely attributed to external factors and broader economic pressures impacting the public, resulting in stretched personal and organizational finances. At the same time, the charity experienced rising costs for essential and new services (particularly in the IT and cyber domains), required for its safe and smooth running.

In response to these dual pressures, a thorough review of all internal and external services was conducted, alongside implementing other additional initiatives focused on identifying and securing cost-saving measures and efficiency improvements. These efforts resulted in achieving meaningful cost reductions and savings, as well as progressing further automation and streamlining activities, all of which have bolstered the charity's ability to navigate current challenges and positively addressing the organisation's long-term sustainability.

Despite the above challenges, throughout the year, the charity, with a contracted staff team, continued to deliver all key services including its extensive psychological therapy service that provides support to many hundreds of individuals every year, courses and training, whilst also extensively overhauling all service areas. New services were also created: in particular, the 24/7, self-care infoline, launched in May which provides access to relaxation and self-care techniques, and the 'TAUK to us' service, a 1:1 peer-led, telephone consultation service offering a friendly ear for those affected by anxiety. Furthermore, comprehensive marketing and sponsorship plans were constructed along with a positioning paper to clearly define Anxiety UK's place and intention in the anxiety disorders information and management space.

The charity's website: www.anxietyuk.org.uk, which continues to receive a high number of visitors each month, was substantially developed throughout the year to include a new section on 'anxiety and herbal/alternative medication', compiled in conjunction with a psychiatric pharmacist. Furthermore, new information resources focusing on anxiety and comorbidity, were commissioned with user-friendly guides produced by a public health professional on topics such as: 'hair loss and anxiety', 'menopause and anxiety', 'neurodivergence and anxiety, 'anxiety and skin conditions' - all of which are available to download from the website. Two essential digital information resources; one for GPs and the other for patients, on medical gaslighting and diagnostic overshadowing, were also completed. Therapguide® continued to be a popular website tool, helping people to choose the psychological therapy modality type that they may be best suited to, as well as our in-house produced, infinity breathing animation.

Seven episodes of our popular podcast series, And Breathe…Welcome to Calm Club were produced with a range of external speakers on topics spanning from 'pregnancy and anxiety' through to 'the fear of losing control' and downloaded by over 900 individuals. Throughout the year, the charity also contributed to an extensive range of externally produced articles and broadcasts on topics related to anxiety and anxiety disorders, as well as disseminating information via its social media channels.

Anxiety UK's involvement in research continued to be strong this year, with notable successes being the publication of three academic papers focused on the charity's 'medical gaslighting and diagnostic overshadowing in those with anxiety' campaign, the 'Ask Anxia®' information chatbot service, and an evaluation of the charity's psychological therapy services before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

All key training courses developed by the charity received external CPD certification, and courses and workshops continued to be delivered to a wide range of organisations on topics such as 'stress and anxiety awareness' and 'managing anxiety in the workplace'.

Globally, Anxiety UK sustained its key co-ordination and leadership role in the maintenance and expansion of the 'Informal Global Anxiety Alliance' of not-for-profit organisations, whilst too supporting a group of MBA students to conduct a project looking at key international organisations providing support for those with anxiety, with the aim of growing the former. Over the course of the year, the Alliance bolstered its membership with representatives from South Africa, The Maldives and Uganda.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Finally the board and staff team collaborated on the development of a new business plan for the charity for the period: 2025-2020, thus setting the organisation's intentions, scope and direction of travel for this timeframe for the provision of support and information for individuals affected by anxiety disorders.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As detailed above, economic hardship persisted in 2024, it had a profound impact on both individuals and organisations, leading to a decrease in disposable income and a subsequent reduction in charitable donations and fundraising efforts. Consequently, the charity faced significant financial challenges, experiencing declines across various revenue streams. This included a decrease in membership, direct donations, partnership activities, training, and sales of resources such as books and self-help materials. Simultaneously, the organisation encountered increased overhead costs due to higher service prices, a common challenge faced by many entities. Ultimately, these factors contributed to a financial loss of £113,501 for the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANXIETY UK

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Anxiety UK ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

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. Details of these judgements can be found in the accounting policies.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Improvements to property - 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 20% on reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is credited or charged to the income statement.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

At each reporting end date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its cost and net realisable value is recognised as an impairment loss in the income statement. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in the income statement.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Going concern

After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Investments

Investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. They are initially valued at cost and subsequently valued at each reporting date by reference to quoted prices readily available from the investment fund.
