CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

The chairman presents his statement for the year.

2023 has continued in much the same vein as 2022. We continue to open five full days per week, and on Saturday mornings once a month. We offer physiotherapy three days a week, with a waiting list of three weeks. We have had over 9,000 visits to the centre this year from those using our various services.

Room hire continues to be a major source of funding, with our rooms having an occupancy rate of just over 60%. Other sources of income are fundraising activities (quiz nights, 5-a-side football, afternoon tea, clairvoyancy evenings and other local initiatives), grants and donations from trusts and individual.

We have maintained the building and we have entered into a revised rental agreement (deed of variation) with the new landlords, Dove (Industrial IV) Unit Trust.

The Trustees would like to say thank you to The Geoffrey Watling Charity, The Childwick Trust, Norfolk Community Foundation, Bruce Wake Charity and The Barbara Welby Trust for their kind support throughout the year.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2023. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report 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

The Company's objective is to establish and run a centre in the Norwich area which will provide treatment, therapies, care and education for people with disabling conditions, their family and carers so they can maintain independent living.

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, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

We help all those in Norfolk who are affected by multiple sclerosis or other neurological condition, by offering a range of support services to assist their well-being.

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

Therapies

We offer a wide range of therapies to our centre users, whether or not they have MS.

Advice and Support

A full range of counselling and advice services is available to anyone coming to grips with dealing with MS. We have several counsellors who can help with emotional issues, and we also offer practice advice on such matters as benefits and continence.

Yoga and Pilates

Fitness is very much a part of dealing with MS or any other neurological condition. Classes are held at our centre on most days. Yoga and Pilates were converted to online whilst the centre was closed.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

Objectives and activities (continued)

d. Main activities undertaken to further the Company's purposes for the public benefit

The main activities in the year were centred around offering services to people affected by MS and other neurological conditions. These services included specialist one to one holistic therapies and medical services.

The Company maintained the frequency of its group physio classes at 3 days per week as well as its exercise classes.

The Company also has continued the subsidised counselling service for newly diagnosed MS patients.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Company

See the Chairman's statement.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the 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. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

The Company currently has no "free reserves" (unrestricted funds excluding those represented by fixed assets).

c. Deficit

The financial statements show a deficit on unrestricted funds. This is as a result of the requirement to accrue for rent payable over the life of the lease although the Company has benefitted from a rent free period under the terms of the lease.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

MS Therapy Centre, Norfolk Ltd is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.

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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of MS Therapy Centre, Norfolk Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2023.

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 accounts 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 Company's 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 Company's 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 Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

MS THERAPY CENTRE, NORFOLK LTD (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

1. General information

MS Therapy Centre, Norfolk Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. The Company's registered office address is 5 Hurricane Way, Norwich, NR6 6EZ. The Company's principal objective is to establish and run a centre in the Norwich area which will provide treatment, therapies, care and education for people with disabling conditions, their family and carers so they can maintain independent living.

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.

MS Therapy Centre, Norfolk Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

The Statement of Financial Position shows the Company has net liabilities of £70,088. Within creditors are accruals of £134,357 arising from the accounting requirement to accrue a rental charge whilst the Company benefited from a rent-free period. Having made some reductions to expenditure post year end, the Trustees are satisfied that regular sources of income are anticipated to exceed recurring expenditure on a monthly basis. Surpluses will be enhanced by successful fundraising activities. As a result, the Trustees are confident that the plans for the coming 12 months will ensure that the Company can continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and accordingly have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

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.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Company, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

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.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

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 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Long-term leasehold property - 5%
Plant and machinery - 10%
Computer equipment - 33%

2.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.7 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.

2.8 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.

MS THERAPY CENTRE, NORFOLK LTD

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 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.

2.10 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.

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.
