TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the accounts and comply with the charitable company's articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
Objectives and activities
Public benefit
TLC continued its work towards the goal of improving the lives of patients worldwide with kidney failure through supporting the development of ethical sustainable kidney transplant services.
During 2024-2025 TLC continued to support the development of nascent and emerging kidney transplant centres around the world. Hands-on in-person surgical, medical and nursing training was delivered in Barbados and Trinidad, including transplant missions to both centres. Subsequently, TLC assisted in the development of a business case for permanent, sustainable funding of renal transplantation in Barbados with the aim of developing a second stand-alone renal transplant program in the Caribbean (the first being in Trinidad). TLC has provided support to other partner centre programmes to assist with the development of individual national strategies towards sustainable kidney transplant programmes. A site visit was carried out to Port Moresby General Hospital (POMGen) in Papua New Guinea where the TLC team confirmed all necessary steps had been taken to allow for a transplant mission in May 2025, where the first transplants to ever take place in the Pacific Islands were successfully carried out at POMGen with TLC’s assistance.
TLC has delivered observerships in UK renal transplant units for members of the transplant team from the Namibia (7 team members) and from Papua New Guinea (5 team members). Observerships are opportunities for healthcare professionals who are involved in the development of kidney transplantation to come to the UK to spend between 2- 4 weeks in a busy transplant unit to shadow their counterparts.
All these activities were supplemented with regular online MDTs (multi-disciplinary team meetings), planning and teaching sessions for each partner country. October 2024 also saw the first TLC surgical fellowship (sponsored by the Samworth Foundation) where a surgeon from Trinidad was placed at Nottingham University NHSFT. The surgeon is spending 18 months training in kidney transplantation within the NHS, supported by Transplant Links. This is hugely important for succession in Trinidad, ensuring the programme that TLC helped to develop remains resilient and sustainable.
Online meetings to discuss how TLC can help progress transplant programmes have also been held with transplant teams in Kumasi, Ghana and Bhaktapur, Nepal, with continued remote mentorship of all existing partner centres including The Bahamas, Barbados, Ghana, Jamaica, Nepal, Trinidad and Nigeria. TLC also provided focussed, workshops for a centre in Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.
TLC recognises the importance of ensuring there is an understanding of all aspects of renal transplantation, including donor selection and to this end two members of TLC undertook Independent Assessment training provided by the Human Tissue Authority.
NHS volunteers have continued to make themselves available to mentor their overseas colleagues both online and through in person teaching visits. The volunteer medical faculty has increased considerably and volunteer update events ensure volunteers have the opportunity to hear about TLC strategy and to provide feedback and comment.
TLC provides a popular online international symposium series with 9 symposia conducted during the period covered by this report with a total global attendance of 660 healthcare professionals worldwide. The lecture programme covers important topics related to the care of patients with renal failure with a focus on real-life experiences for transplant centres with limited resources. Symposia were delivered throughout the year by experts in the field including surgeons, doctors, scientists, nurses, psychologists and other healthcare professionals, and were attended by clinicians from 120 countries worldwide.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
TLC continues to work closely with the newly formed Caribbean Transplant Coordinator Network (CTCN), whose aims are to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration, standardise protocols and procedures, promote education and training, enhance patient care and support and advocate for policy development and resource allocation.
Baroness Floella Benjamin OM DBE DL continues to actively support the charitable activities of TLC, especially in the Caribbean where she met with Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley SC MP to discuss the progression of the living-donor transplant programme and legislation to allow for a deceased donor programme to be established.
Governance
The TLC trustee team continued to meet and actively engage with the work of TLC, its governance, and its strategy for the forthcoming years. TLC carries out annual reviews of all policies.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The TLC trustee team recognise the importance of having clinically active individuals playing an active role in the governance of the charity. For this reason, the Clinical Advisory Board (CAB), which is formed of 10 clinically active consultant Surgeons and Nephrologists, meet 4 times a year to discuss the clinical governance of the charity, review the charities activities and the effectiveness of the activities, and make suggestions about future charitable activities. These reports are fed back to the trustee board. TLC Trustee Dr S Shabir is both a trustee of TLC and sits on the CAB.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Transplant Links continues to measure the success of its partner centre programme development by monitoring progress through the following phases:

TRANSPLANT LINKS
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
Throughout the year, TLC has worked alongside all of its significantly active partner centres (Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Papua New Guinea) to move through the phases of development. In some cases, this has meant the continuation of hands-on surgical training (e.g. in Trinidad, who are now in phase 6 - surgical support for paediatric cases) and in other cases it has meant laying the ground work to ensure future sustainability of the programme e.g. in Papua New Guinea, where TLC has provided assistance and mentoring through the process of developing a medium term plan, engaging with politicians, establishing ethical frameworks and identifying key team members.
Each partner centre continues to move through the phases with TLC’s support.
The symposia series continues to receive extremely good feedback. Throughout the year, over 660 healthcare professionals from over 120 countries received regular notifications about the monthly webinars, and attendance at the 9 symposia remained very high (average of 75 attendees for each symposium). Feedback from each symposium was collected and consistently scored an average of above 4.5 out of 5. In each feedback form, attendees are asked to suggest topics for lectures, which inform the design of the future series.
CEO Aimee Jewitt-Harris has spoken about the work of TLC at a Urology Conference in Jamaica.
In response to the evolving demands experienced by TLC, a Project Manager was recruited to improve coordination with partner centres resulting in greatly improved communication, fewer unexpected issues during transplant missions and will allow for an increase in charitable activity.
Financial review
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a 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 in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Fundraising activities
TLC continues to work with supporters from a variety of companies and trusts to ensure the delivery of the work to improve the lives of patients throughout the world with kidney failure. The Deck of Cards fundraising event realised £24 000 and was undertaken in partnership with Ewbank’s Auctioneers and with pro bono communications support from Mearns & Pike through the Passion Partnership programme.
TLC is extremely grateful to the many individuals, trusts and sponsors who have made our work possible, and who recognise the huge global problem of kidney failure and the continued need for TLC’s work.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
The trustees, who are also the directors of Transplant Links for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the financial statements 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 financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Transplant Links is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 30 Upper High Street, Thame, Oxfordshire, OX9 3EZ.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's Articles, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Assets given for use by the charity are recognised when receivable.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events.
Interest income is recognised when received.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Resources expended are analysed between the costs of raising funds and charitable activities, Costs are allocated between these categories on an actual basis where possible. Other costs are apportioned using suitable bases.
1.6 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
