Strategic Report
We are working towards five strategic gools. set out in 2018. which will make a positive
impact on the lives of people with Crohn's and Colitis. In 2020. of course. we had to face
the exceptional challenges of a global pandemic. We rapidly adjLASted our plans for 2020 to
focus on supporting our community through the crisis. ensuring they were not forgotten in
society s response to the pandemic. And despite the challenges. we continued to make
progress against all five aims.
Our Goal - We want everyone to understand Crohn's and Colitis
Amid o worldwide pandemic, 2020 was the year we needed to stand up for people with Crohn's
and Colitis more than ever.
At the start of 2020 our NotEvery tjsability is Visible compaign was making progress with mony
restaurants and pubs changing their toilet signage ond training stuff to recognise and support
people with Crohn s ond Colitis. The impact of COVID-19 meant o rapid switch to campaigning to
keep public toilets open ond keeping our community s needs in the public spotlight. When shops
and facilities reopened in summer 2020, public toilets remoined closed and with compuigners
support we achieved notionol coverage in broadcost and print media of Dur cumpaign to reopen
toilets. Our safety guidance was distributed by the Locol Government Association to all local
authorities in England & Wales, with mony committing to reopen accessible toilets during the
notional lockdown and continuing to engage with us to implement Not Every Disability is Visible
signage across public facilities.
Many in the Crohn s ond Colitis community are particularly vulneroble ond we needed to make
sure their voices were heard. 8,000 people took part in wr Life in Lockdown survey thot
highlighted where rnore needed to be done to support our community in their workploce, in
occessing healthcare ond shielding support. It provided the evidence we needed for many of the
octivities we report on below. We worked with other charities to ensure our concerns were heard in
government and the health service.
Our Goal - We want to drive world class research into the disease
2020 hos been o year of finding alternative ways to support research.
Our role in putting the patient ot the centre of research is flourishing.
We promote recruitrnent to research studies ond in 2020 our efforts contributed 67% of the
researchers recruitTnent targets.
We livestreamed through Zoom, for the first time, our patient research participation day. It
uttrocted 299 attendees- our biggest audience yet. The event wos viewed over1,000 times on
YouTube and the online feedback will go on to shupe the research presented
We continue to invest in existing research projects but the impact of the pandemic on our incorne
meant we were unable to fund new projects in 2020.
Nevertheless, aght of the chority's projects were ableto complete in 2020 with our funding:
A new strotegy to limit fibrosis in Crohn s disease
Being Me with IBD= Growing up and getting on with rnu life
Comparison of cornbination antibiotic and hydroxychloroquine therapy in active Crohn s
From genetic varionts to o better understanding of IBD susceptibility
MicroRNA profiling in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Regulatory T cells in IBD- optimising their therapeutic potentiol

Crohn's and Colitis UK
Self-munagement intervention for poin in IBD
The lived experience of family planning with IBD
We continued to support our Pain Collaborative Network working on applications for further
funding and owarded two grants of our owntackling the issue of poin:
Feosibility testing of an occeptonce ond commitment group theropy intervention
Identifying risk factors for the development of chronic abdominal poin in patients with IBD
We continued to lead the potient input and comrnunicotions work of Gut Reoction - the Health
Datu Research Hub for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This unique collaboration is building the
largest IBD datoset in the world. Potient input to the progromme hos led to a redesign of the
approach to data access requests for the Hub and the NIHR BioResource. a critical part of the UK s
research infrastructure.
Our Goal- We want to support people and empower them
to be active participants in managing their life with Crohn's and Colitis
2020 highlighted the chority's pivotal position as a trusted source of accurate and expert
inforrnotion in the frightening and rapidlu evolving environment of the pandemic for thousands
of people with Crohn's and Colitis.
We were there for more people than ever before, onswering16,000 queries vio phone calls, emails
and Livechat providing informotion and support.
In March we hod o 644% increase in emails ond 0121% increose in phone calls to our Helpline
becouse of the pandemic (cornpored with March 2019).
There were1.8 million page views of our COVID-19 poges which included critical information on
ossessing COVID-19 risk levels to inform sociol distancing and shielding decisions. Over 95% found
our informotion helpful and our Life in Lockdown survey suggested the charity wos the top source
of information for COVID-19 for people living with the conditions.
We gave our comrnunity fast access to expert advicethrough new Facebook Live events covering
subjects such as voccinotions and well-being. Theu attrocted 279.000 attendees.
More people turned to our digitol channels such as Instagrarry Facebook, Companion website and
Facebook Forum for support.
Our Facebook poge grew by over 3% to 202,500 likes while our Forum membership was up by 20%
(to 48,700). Our Instagram followers grew by 26% (55,300) and our Twitter followers rose by 31%
(48,200).
We successfully piloted virtuol social events to reploce the face to face meetings held by our
volunteer networks- a new approach which reoched out to those previously unoble to ottend fuce
to face meeting& This innovation will become a permanent offering.
Our Goal- We want high quality. sustainable. clinical care across the UK
The pandernic threw up more chollenges thon ever in access to diagnosis and high qualitu
core. We worked hard with clinical leaders to ensure patients with Crohn s and Colitis were not
forgotterL
Throughout the pandernic we worked with heolthcore professionals and their orgonisations to
ensure easy occess to criticol information for patients. With the pressures on hospitol staff dealing
with COVID-19, many patients were not able to ask direct questions of their IBD teams as they
normally would. The charity was able to step into the information vacuum reassuring potients and
rernoving some of the pressures on NHS staff.

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2020
Crohn's and Colitis UK
We worked with key professionol bodies to help develop u potient friendly COVID-19 risk
ossessment opprooch which proved vital for putients- our research highlighted that1 in 5 were
assigned the wrong risk level by the NHS in the earlu days of the pundemic which led to some
patients unnecessarily shielding while others were not toking the right sociol distancing measures.
Accurate risk assessrnent would ulso prove criticul to prioritisation for vocoinatiorL
We also pressed the case for appropriate prioritisotion of patients with Crohn s and Colitis in
hospital services which were highly restricted due to the impoct of COVID-19, particularly
advocating for better occess to endoscopy and surgery. As o result, surgery guidelines ore clear
that patients in need of treatment should get the access they need.
Our work to improve the standards of Crohn s und Colitis core overoll continued throughout 2020.
As chair of IBD UK. on alliance of17 potient charities and healthcare professional organisations. we
released reports on local Inflammotory Bowel Diseose (IBD) services performance against the new
IBD Standurds.
Further work on o national report was prepared for launch early in 2021 and is expected to make a
mojor contribution to IBD service improvement, raising standards of care through quality
improvement.
Through our ongoing collaboration with the Scottish Government and three Health Boards, we won
"Self-manogernent Resource of the Year in the Self-management Awards, run by the He0￿h and
Social Core Alliance Scotland for the development of o flore card. co-designed by patients with
Crohn s and Colitis.
In Wales, we were delightedthot IBD was recognised us on NHS priority through the establishment
of the role of IBD Clinical Leod for Wales. This follows years of focused chority activity to raise the
profile of IBD, including through the estoblishTnent of the IBD Woles group and political events in the
Senedd.
Services fully centred oround the needs and wishes of potients remains elusive. In October we won
o Heolth Foundotion grant worth £475k over 3 years to support potientsto drive changes in
services. We will be working in partnership on AWARE IBD with three Sheffield based orgunisotions
on the project..

Our Goal - We want early and accurate diagnosis for all
2020 sow the successful cornpletion of our focus on supporting general proctitioners in the care
of patients with Crohn s and Colitis
Our successful three year Spotlight Project in partnership with The Royal College of General
Practitioners (RCGP) finished in March 2020. Since the development of the IBD Toolkit for GPS, it has
been viewed over16,000 times across the UK. It has also been viewed by users as far away os
Moloysia, Saudi Arobia. Colornbio, the Faroe Islonds ond Brunei. Now the project hos finished, the
IBD Toolkit will continue to be hosted by RCGP ond discussions are ongoing to ensure it remains up-

closely with GPS and ullied heolth professionols across the UK.

Enabling the charity to achieve our goals
2020 triggered the rapid reorgonising of our services and resources to provide the critical
support needed by our community in challenging times.
The pandernic radically impucted on the environment the charity was working in and its income. We
hod to take swift action to ensure the sustainotmlity of the charity for the future. As a result, we
redirected our work to criticol octivities supporting peoTJe with Crohn s and Colitis through the
pandemic ond shifted delivery online.
We needed to reduce our cost base by o quarter in recognition of the reduction in income, including
using the furlough scheme where the pandemic had led to reduced activity and usking our working staff
to reduce their hours ond pay to 80% of their usuol leve￿ for seven months. To create longer term
stability, we also looked hard at creating on agenda thot was more tightly focused and we consolidated
activities wherever we could. Subsequently, we completed o restructure of the charity by October 2020
which sudly led to o loss of12 roles. We are groteful to all staff throughout this difficult time ond
continuing to put the needs of our community first.
We ore ulso groteful to ull our supporters in 2020, without whom we would not be here to deliver for our
community.
Despite the challenges of the year, we embedded our new Microsoft Dynarnics Customer Relotionship
Manogement (CRM) database os planned increasing productivity along with better insight ond onulysis
of the effectiveness of our work and improved stakeholder relationships. This large investment of the
chority will be fundamentol to its ability to deliver going forword.
Plans for the future
As we enter 2021, we ore working in very chonged circurnstonces. OUT current strategy was due to
complete in 2022 but we decided to bring forward the strategy review to the first six months of 2021 to
adopt to the new world. We are conducting the review with external input where needed to ensure that
we ore clear about new opportunities and challenges for the charity. We leornt in 2020 how fast the
charity con adapt and innovate, ond we want to rnake the most of these positive qualities going
forward.
During the uear we will olso deliver:
The national report on how UK gastroenterology services are performing against the IBD
Standards. This will be the launchpod for engoging with government, the NHS and clinicions on
the improvements needed for better care.
We will deliver a new Not Every Disability is Visible compaign focused on the workplace ond
develop and launch u new compoign to increose symptom owareness in the public ond
omongst key community clinicians
We will build rnore information resources for our community and muke them more accessible.
We will do Tnore to understand the diverse comrnunities we work for ond how they can be
better served.
We will redevelop our digitol platforms to better serve oll our oudiences.

How we hove roised the money
2020 was uniquely challenging for all charities roising funds and we ore no exception. The irnpact of
lockdown on our supporter events was significant ond overall fundraising income fell by 29% compored
with 2019. However, our Community of supporters wos very generous. ond kindly helped us throughout
the ueor in various woys. In 2020 donations from individuals sow a slight increase despite it being o
difficult year for many people. We ure very grateful for their continued support. We sent an emergency
appeal mailing to15.000 of our supporters and received donations totolling over £58,000. As a result of
this oppeul, we saw o significant increase in the number of Regular Gifts. In on overage year we recruit
180 new Regular Givers but in 2020 we sow this nurnber increase by 522.
Our corporate supporters were invaluable. with income growing to over £695,000 in 2020 (£622.696
in 2019), the highest total in the charity s history. New funding wus secured to support our Specialist
Nurse Programme in 2021 and we are groteful to our pharmaceutical partners who responded to our
emergency appeal. As our corporate portners closed offices ond staff worked from home. employee
fundraising octivities were severely impocted. However, our purtners generously supported in new
ways where they could, toking part in our virtuol World IBD Dau coffee morning, RunThe Night ond
more. Partners such os Insight Direct, kindly offered to postpone their fundraising for us or extendthe
partnership instead, and others offered generous ontroff pundemic related funding, following staff
nominotions. In partnership with TruckAdz we ulso launched our first Crohn s & Colitis UK branded lorry
'It Takes Trucks'l
The response from Trusts and Foundotions to our emergency funding applications sow us receive new
grants including an award from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund. distributed by The Notional
Lottery, towards our Helpline Services. This generous response to the Helpline wos echoed by mony
trusts and foundotions, several of which were new to the charity. We also secured o three-year
portnership oword frorn The Heolth Foundation, in support of our work with local portners in Sheffield to
re-design Inflammatory Bowel Disease services, shaped by the patients who use them.
We developed innovotive fundroising activities in response to the pandernic, introducing virtual events
such os our online World IBD Doy coffee moming and a quiz night with TV presenter Chris Tarront. We
also received income from new plotforrns including Tiltify, where funds were generated by live vid8)
gameplay on Twitch.1.825 of our Facebook followers fundraised for us, raising olmost £226,000.
Events income was heovily irnpacted but still ruised £700,000 despite the postponernent of events
such as London Marathon and Great North Run. Our own flagship events WALK IT and Run The Night
were sodly concelled, but we created virtual versions which generated over £136,000. Actor, Sacha

The financiol results for the y￿r are set out in the Consolidated Stotement of Financiol Activities
(SOFA). This represents the total incoTne ond expenditure reloting to all octivities in the year. mode up
of the work of the charity ut notional level, locol networks ond the octivities of the troding compony,
NACC Merchandise Ltd.
The figures in the following paragruphs ore taken from the SOFA and from the notes to the Financial
Statements.
2020 results
During 2020 the char￿Y hos mode on overall surplus of £618,293 (2019: £676,466 deficit) split
between an unrestricted funds surplus of £237,067 (2019= £765,917 deficit) ond restricted funds
surplus of £381,226 (2019: £89,451 surplus).
Income has fallen significant￿ to £4,678,656 from £6247,473 in 2019 with COVID-19 leading to the
canoellation of all our planned events due to government restrictions on muss gatherings and sociol
distancing. In March 2020the cash flow was under pressure, and o big thank you to all of ournetworks
who tronsferred excess funds to head office to help the irnprove the working capitol.
In terms of expenditure, the charity's commitment to research grants was paused due to COVID-19
and only o single grunt for £145,700 (2019.. £1.131.133) was mode in the yeur, ulongside several
writebacks in instonces where researchers reviewed their status os detailed in Note11 poge 29.
Reserves Policy
The Reserves Policy was revised by the Board on 5 February 2021 and outlines a frarnework to balance
the need to maintain adequate funds to sustoin future activity with that of making best use of those
funds raised and donated by supporters and partners.
Total reserves increased to £2,688,578 (2019: £2,070,286) after the severe cutback in both income
and expenditure in 2020.
The chority holds restricted funds to the volue of £352,093 (2019= £135,042), which may only be used
in accordonce with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.
The charity also holds unrestricted funds to the value of £2,336,485 (2019: £1,935,244) of which
£1,046,399 (2019: £938,698) were designated funds us follows..
Tongible Fixed Assets- A designated fund hos been created that represents the net book value
of tongible fixed ossets insofar as these funds are not avuiloble for immediate use.
Intangible Fixed Assets- A designated fund hos been created that represents the net book
volue of intongible fixed ossets insofar us these funds ore not avuilable for irnmediute use.
Local Networks retained funds- The Trustees olso agreed that any uccurnulated surpluses
from the Volunteer Networks should be held for future use by Networks, and o designated fund
has been established for this purpose. Networks are required to utilise these funds within two
years of the end of the year in which they are reported.

Crohn's and Colitis UK
The bolance of unrestricted funds not otherwise designoted represents the free reserves of the charity.
In the light of COVID-19 and all the surrounding uncertointies, the Trustees have ogreed that in order to
maintain adequate levels of working copital to fund day-to-day operations, and to protect the charity
from income fluctuations and seasonal volatility, free reserves should be increosed to £1.2M (previously
8 weeks, equating to £0.6M). This is to represent a cornbinotion of on unexpected and immediate
reduction in unrestricted income, alongside the need to meet core unrestricted expenditure ollowing the
charity to continue to operate ond maintain its core services for six months. The current level is £1.3M
This was considered a rnore realistic approach thun the previously held policy of 8 weeks when used
alongside the lorge working capitol rnointained to fund long term research grants.
Cash and investments
The funds of the chority are largely represented by cash deposits including £98,922 (g296,904 in
2018) held by our Locol Networks, and investments held in a charity restricted ethical investrnent fund
manoged by CCLA Investment Management.
Pension costs
The charity operotes a defined contribution pension scheme, established in 2015 through Legal &
General. New employees are automaticollu enrolled in the scheme, ond staff that mau subsequently
opt to leave the scheme will be re-enrolled after three years.
Staff remunerotion
Crohn s and Colitis UK is cornrnitted to ensuring a proper balance between (j) paying our staff fairly so
that we attract and retain the very best people with the right experience and leodership quulities and (li)
careful monugement of our charity funds. In so doing we ensure the greatest effectiveness in delivering
our charitable objectives ond Meeting the needs of our beneficiaries.
Stoff salories ore determined by reference to bonds that toke account of the levels of copobility ond
experience required, uuthority and discretion levels. Our sularies need to be cornpetitive within the
chority sector, but we do not uirn to compete on poy with the public or private sectors.
Solories of the Senior Leadership Team, including the CEO, ore agreed by the Board of Trustees and will
toke account of the past year s uchievements, environmental ond market conditions, and of sector
comporison. Our work is dependent on voluntary donations and we oct in on open ond transparent way
that respects the money, time and energy given by donors ond volunteers. In our commitment to
openness, we disclose informotion about senior stoff solories within our onnuol report. This is in line
with recommendations and guidelines from the Notional Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO).

directors of the choritable company for the purposes of compony low) ore responsible for the
preparation of the finonciol stutements and for being satisfied that they give o true and foir view, and
for such internol control as tFE trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial

going concern ond using the going concern bosis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to
liquidote the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no reolistic
alternotive but to do so.
Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the finoncial statements
We hove been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investrnent
(Scotlond) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 und report in occordance with regulations
made under those Acts.
Our objectives ore to obtain reosonuble assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free frorn moteriol misstotement. whether due to fraud or error, ond to issue on auditor s report
that includes our opinion. Reusonable assurunce is o high level of assurance, but is not a guuruntee that
on oudit conducted in occordance with ISAS (UK) will alwuys detect a moterial misstaternent when it

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial stotements is located on the
Finoncial Reporting Council s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description
forms port of our auditor s report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregulorities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fruud, are instances of non-compliunce with luws und regulotions. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect moteriol misstotements in respect
of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures ore copable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
We gained on understanding of the legol and regulatory framework applicable to the Charitable Group
and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of the Choritable Group not complying with
the opplicable laws ond regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material
irnpuct on the financial stoternents. This included those regulotions directly related to the finoncial
statements, including financial reporting. tax legislotion and distributoble profits. In relation to the
operations of the Charitable Group this included compliance with the Charities Act and SORP 2019,
GDPR, employment law, safeguarding and health & safety.
The risks were discussed with the audit teorn and we remained alert to ony indications of non-
compliance throughout the audit. We carried out specific procedures to address the risks identified.
These included the following..

Reviewing rninutes of Board Meetings. reviewing ony correspondence with the Charity Cornrnission,
agreeing the finoncial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries of
monogement and officers of the Charitable Group and a review of the risk management processes and
procedures in place including o review of the risk register maintoined by the charitable group. We hove
also reviewed the procedures in ploce for the reporting of anu incidents to the Trustee Board including
serious incident reporting of these matters as necessary with the Charity Cornmission.
Management override.. To address the risk of monogement override of controls, we carried out testing
ofjournal entries ond other odjustments for appropriateness. We reviewed systems and procedures to
identify potentiol areas of managernent override risk und evaluated the business rationole of significont
tronsoctions to identify large or unusual transactions. We reviewed key authorisation procedures and
decision moking processes for any unusual or one-off transactions.
We olso assessed management bios in relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining
significant occounting estimates. including treatment of legacies ond grant incorne. und the
omortisution rutes of intongible assets.
Because of the inherent limitations of on audiL there is a risk that we will not detect oll irregulorities.
including those leading to u materiol misstatement in the finonciol statements or non-complionce with
regulation. This risk increases the more thot complionce with a law or regulation is rernoved from the
events ond transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to becorne oware
of instances of non-complionce. The risk is olso greater regarding irregulorities occurring due to fruud
rather than error, os froud involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusioTL omission or
misrepresentation.
