Page 1 ## **World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Main activities** The World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation (WFNR) is a multidisciplinary organisation which stimulates the exchange of knowledge and scientific research between clinicians and others with an interest in the field. WFNR collaborates with other clinical and scientific societies to enhance the impact of neurorehabilitation for the benefit of patients. ## **Summary of main activities** The Federation has continued with many research and educational activities during 2023 including: 11[th] Annual Conference of Indian Federation of Neurorehabilitation (IFNRCON2023) - India 7[th] European Congress of Neurorehabilitation – Lyon, France 5[th] Asia Oceanian Congress of Neurorehabilitation (AOCNR2023) – Bangkok, Thailand 18th International Summer School of Neurology, in conjunction with 13th European Teaching Course on Neurorehabilitation - Poiana Brasov, Romania 18th Congress of the Society for the Study of Neuroprotection and Neuroplasticity in conjunction with the WFNR-EFNR Central Asia Regional Meeting, 24 and 25 June 2023, Tashkent, Uzbekistan The series of Silver Jubilee webinars continued.

The last WFNR Certificate Teaching Course (TC) on “Clinical Pathways in Stroke Rehabilitation” was held digitally in 2023 with weekly seminars (from September to December 2023), was well and regularly attended by healthcare professionals from many countries around the word, and a great success. page 3 of 5 pages More than 110 participants attended the course each week, 85 passed a final exam and received the WFNR certificate of knowledge. The multi-professional attendees (i.e. medical doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and a few other professionals) came from 37 countries. Page 2 ## **World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** The charity aims to hold sufficient reserves to meet their objectives for a twelve month period. ## **Going concern** The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted level of income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to continue as a going concern. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** The WFNR is looking for experienced people who can take a global perspective on the field of neurological rehabiliation. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Charity number** 1122787 ## **Principal address** 11 Rake House Farm Rake Lane North Shields NE29 8EQ ## **Trustees** Professor M P Barnes Professor of Neurological Rehabilitation Professor S Clarke Chief of Neuropsychology & Neuro ## **Independent Examiner** Mrs V Sanders Stanbridge Associates Limited 7 Lindum Terrace Lincoln Lincolnshire LN2 5RP Page 3 ## **World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** Approved by order of the board of trustees on ……… and signed on its behalf by: ………………….. Page 4 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do 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.
