LIFTING THE BURDEN

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Lifting The Burden for the ended 31 December 2020.

The trustees confirm that the annual report, which serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law, and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit.

The charitable company's overarching objective is to reduce the burden of headache worldwide. It pursues this solely through the conduct of the Global Campaign against Headache, a programme of activity planned and carried out in official relations with the World Health Organization.

The charitable company's policy is to give priority to activities within the Global Campaign that will meet greatest needs, subject to the existence of opportunity to act. The charitable company sets and continuously revises its aims accordingly.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

The charitable company works with partner organizations (in particular, the World Health Organization), institutions and individuals, to achieve its objective through: a) measuring the burden of headache in countries and regions worldwide; b) raising awareness of the burden of headache in countries and regions worldwide; c) educating at various levels; and d) planning, implementing, testing and refining health-care solutions to the burden of headache in countries and regions worldwide.

c. Grant-making policies

The charitable company will make grants to organizations or institutions where: a) this will support an activity likely, in the estimation of the trustees, to achieve one or more of its aims or contribute effectively to its objective; b) the outcomes of the activity will be ascertainable; c) the recipient agrees to the account for use of the grant; and d) the amount of the grant is such that, in the view of the trustees, the expected returns will represent good value for money relative to the circumstances in which the grant is made.

The charitable company does not invite applications for grants.

LIFTING THE BURDEN (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The charitable company's programme of activities constitutes the Global Campaign against Headache, conducted in official relations with the World Health Organization.

These activities have continued to be obstructed and sometimes curtailed by the covid-19 pandemic, which has rendered international collaborations very difficult. Nevertheless, the charitable company has continued to gather knowledge of the global burden of headache towards the completion of campaign stage one. Adult studies from Cameroon, Benin, Morocco, Peru and northern India are in analysis, and those from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have been partially published. The global schools-based study of child and adolescent headache burden has also continued, with financial support from the International Headache Society. Studies from Mongolia, Turkey, Lithuania, Austria, Serbia, Zambia, Ethiopia, Benin and Iran are in analysis, and publications are being prepared. Those in Cameroon, Georgia, Spain, India, Nepal and Cambodia remain delayed by school closures.

As these studies are analysed, the findings are added to the database at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which accumulates all data gathered from the Global Campaign studies as a resource for global public-health policy and future research. Within the charitable company’s continuing collaboration with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, these new data inform the ongoing Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. GBD currently ranks headache disorders as the third highest group-cause of disability in the world, and migraine as the highest single cause in young adults. These findings, disseminated widely in GBD and Global Campaign publications, and frequently cited elsewhere, provide strong evidence-based messages to inform health policy, so implementing campaign stage two (raising awareness).

The charitable company has focused more in the last year on campaign stage three (intervention to reduce the burden of headache). The interventional model, in the form of an adaptable template for structured headache services based in primary care and supported by educational initiatives, has been published, along with costeffectiveness analyses of the model. The collaboration with EHF, to validate methods of service quality evaluation to be applied to interventional programmes, has been delayed by continuing travel restrictions.

Within its official relations, the charitable company has continued to participate in relevant activities of the World Health Organization.

b. Investment policy and performance

The charitable company has adopted a highly risk-averse investment policy. Funds not expected to be called upon within 12 to 18 months are placed on deposit in a United Kingdom bank at the best terms available. As a result of this policy, bank interest receivable in respect of the accounting period amounted to £101.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

LIFTING THE BURDEN (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

b. Financial activities and affairs

The statement of financial activities for the year ended 31 December 2020 shows total income of £619 and total expenditure of £21,120. At 31 December 2020 the unrestricted fund balance was £97,558 and the restricted funds totalled £2,787.

In the opinion of the trustees, the overall state of affairs of the charitable company at 31 December 2020 is satisfactory.

c. Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charitable company to hold in reserve a minimum of two months' human resources costs together with a sufficient amount in general reserves to enable an orderly close-down of the charitable company should it become unable to continue.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Lifting The Burden is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association date 19 June 2009. The company was incorporated on 24 June 2009 and became a registered charity on 21 July 2009.

The principal object of Lifting The Burden is for the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering caused by headaches of all kinds to people around the world.

b. Methods of appointment or election of trustees

The management of the company is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.

Trustees are selected for their professional knowledge and experience in the field of headache and public health, in which the charitable company operates. They are likely already to be familiar with the charitable company's purposes and activities.

Newly appointed trustees receive advice, as an induction, on the history, objectives and activities of the charitable company, on trustee responsibilities (in particular through provision of the Charity Commission publication The Essential Trustee: An Introduction) and on the charitable company's financial situation.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The charitable company is governed by its board of trustees (which is also the board of directors). Currently, only members of the board of trustees are members of the charitable company. The board is considering reopening membership to individuals who have contributed to or are actively involved in the charitable company’s activities within the Global Campaign against Headache.

The board of trustees is responsible for all decisions with regard to the appointment of new trustees or of members of the charitable company, and to the charitable company's priorities amongst its aims, activities and use of resources.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

d. Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which Lifting The Burden is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charitable company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate the charitable company's exposure thereto.

Plans for future periods

The board of trustees has been forced to put some activities on hold, and limit the pursuit or planning of others, because of the covid-19 pandemic. It remains unknown how long these restrictions will last.

Nevertheless, stage one of the Global Campaign against Headache will soon be considered complete as far as adult headache is concerned. The global survey of childhood and adolescent headache will continue in a number of countries once schools reopen. Academic collaborators will be sought for studies elsewhere, especially in American, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific Regions. As these add data to future iterations of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, campaign stage two (raising awareness) will also be fulfilled.

Campaign stage three will therefore remain the focus of the charitable company’s continuing and future activities. The charitable company’s official relations with the World Health Organization continue at least until 2023. The charitable company will continue working with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation as they look towards using evidence to influence policy, a purpose aligned with campaign stage three. The charitable company remains in discussions leading to much closer collaboration with the International Headache Society when the time comes for promulgation of the structured headache services interventional model.

Members

The charitable company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the charitable company are the trustees, together with such individual and corporate members as the trustees from time to time admit to membership, who are currently none. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lifting The Burden ('the company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and 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 financial statements 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 the company's accounts 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

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.

This report is made solely to the charity trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the charity trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

LIFTING THE BURDEN (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. General information

Lifting The Burden is a charitable company registered in England. Its registered office address is 21-27 Lamb's Conduit Street, London, WC1N 3GS.

Lifting The Burden is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company, and are rounded to the nearest £1.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the charity's accounting policies (see note 3).

Lifting The Burden meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Going concern

There are no material uncertainties concerning the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable.

LIFTING THE BURDEN (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs, are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the company to raise funds for its charitable purposes.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction.

Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

2.7 Taxation

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

The company is not, however, exempt from value added tax. Irrecoverable value added tax is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

2.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

LIFTING THE BURDEN (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.10 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charitable company'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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. However, there are no judgements or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment.
