**behaviour change based on targeted**
**hygiene**
In 2021/22, IFH continued its
lobbying/working in partnership with hygiene
stakeholders to get action in line with calls
made in our 2021consensus white paper
setting out why hygiene is important and
what needs to be done - firstly to overcome
barriers to change - secondly to promote
hygiene behaviour change through targeted
hygiene.
To support this work IFH has produced a
new web area entitled “developing and
promoting hygiene to meet C21st needs as a
hub which contains key materials produced
by IFH to explain the principles of Targeted
Hygiene. All of these materials have been
extensively promoted though, the IFH
website, IFH newsletters, IFH twitter feed
and linkedin. It has also been promoted
through 9 international conference
presentations.
IFH is currently actioning a project with
Royal Society for Public Health to gain the
attention of government agencies, opinion
formers/policy makers etc to build
understanding of the need for a fundamental
review of hygiene promotion strategies to
ensure that they meet C2st needs, and
reflect learnings from COVID-19.
**2. Response to the COVID-19 pandemic**
IFH continued to update our information on
the prevention of COVID-19 through public
hygiene behaviour. The IFH COVID 19web
area (20,000 views to date) containing fact
advice sheets (5600 views) and a blog
giving advice on how to prevent the spread
of the coronavirus continued to be promoted
through our normal channels (twitter feed,
linkedin, newssheets etc). Ongoing, IFH
Board members contributed to TV and radio
news feeds, andprint articlesgiving public| advice on hygiene issues. **3. Putting targeted Hygiene into practice** IFH has developed and published a practical guide to communicating the Targeted Hygiene/ moments approach, for use by the public, media, health professionals etc. We are also consulting with experts in behaviour change and exploring whether and how we might test this approach in behaviour change models. ## **4. IFH website, press activity and social media** IFH has continued to develop core activities - Regular updates of the IFH website including developing 2 new web areas - News items posted on IFH website – and tweeted. - Email alerts/newssheets – on news and new research - sent to 1500 global database. (7 newssheets) - Twitter feed of hygiene news and new research (2-3 per day) 900 followers. - Interaction with the media/response to media enquiries/live media interviews by SB and LA to encourage clearer/less misleading articles. ## **IFH Funding** For 2021/22, IFH received sponsorship from Unilever, Deb Med, Reckitt Benckiser. IFH has received undertakings from Deb Med to fund IFH core activities in 2021/22 and has already received sponsorship from Reckitt Benckiser for 21/22. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against objectives set Para 1.41 Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Para 1.41 Investment performance against objectives Para 1.41 Other ## **Financial Review** **----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 2021/22 was again an atypical year. Late in
financial position at the end the year we initiated 2 new projects which
of the period will be completed and invoiced in 2022/23
(costs £25,000). We were again unable to
travel to meetings, all of which were carried
out online. In addition we gained a new
sponsor in Dec 2021 who paid us a total of
£20,000 which included £15,000 towards
2022/23 funding. This means that we still
appear to have an abnormally high reserve.
In 2022/23 we will have the additional one
off cost of updating our website (£15,000).
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted
policy for holding reserves funds which have not been designated for a
stating why they are held specific use should be maintained at a level
equivalent to between three and six month’s
expenditure. The trustees consider that
reserves at this level will ensure that, in the
event of a significant drop in funding, they
will be able to continue the charity’s current
activities while consideration is given to
ways which additional funds may be raised.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Total funds held at 28 February 2022 were
£96,042. Of these funds, £8,729 were
restricted for specific purposes, and £87,313
were unrestricted free reserves.

Explanation of any Para 1.23 The trustees have reviewed likely future
uncertainties about the developments and remain of the opinion that
charity continuing as a going there is no reason to believe that the charity
concern will have to cease operating as a result of
inadequate financial resources, or any other
foreseeable event, within a period of at least
12 months from completion of accounts.

charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 28 February 2022.
As the charity's trustees, 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 all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have
come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that
disclosed below *) 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 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. **Signed: Date:** 12/09/2022 **Name:** Tim Lerwill **Relevant professional** FCA **qualification(s) or body: Address:** Old Mill Accountancy Limited Unit 2, Greenways Business Park Bellinger Close Chippenham, Wiltshire SN15 1BN 1 **IER** ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** .
