## **CHAIR AND CEO REPORT**
Welcome to the annual report and financial statements of the Katie Piper Foundation for 1st January – 31st December 2023.
Over the past 3 years the services at the Katie Piper Foundation have adapted to the challenging external environment, with a fully face to face rehabilitation service becoming totally remote in 2020 and remaining so at the start of 2023.
Chair: Nick Rudgard
CEO: Kate Naish
The charity wanted to restart face to face services but did not want to lose the benefits of continuous care seen with the virtual service, believing a blended approach was possible.
Therefore, in July, with funding from VTCT Foundation, Dr RuthAnn Fanstone joined the team as service design lead, to undertake a 9 month piece of work reviewing all services offered by the charity and redefining our rehabilitation pathway for future survivors. This work has involved extensive consultation with our survivor network and our colleagues in the NHS Burns services, as well as our staff and trustees.
We were very excited to launch a new partnership with Steps Together, creating a new home for our residential rehabilitation programme with Steps Together at Rainford Hall, near St Helens in Merseyside. This has meant a move from the previous Fairfield Hospital site but gives the charity a more flexible and cost effective operating model, whilst giving survivors a luxurious, peaceful and less clinical setting for their rehabilitation stay.
We were delighted to officially launch our partnership and welcome our first survivors to the site in July.

Following a disappointing financial performance over the past 2 years, the charity started the year with low reserves and, although fundraising changes were planned, success in the early part of the year was limited. In September, the new CEO embarked on a financial recovery plan, with a focus on reducing spend, maximising existing events and known donors and, most importantly, focussing on multiyear grant funding and building a pipeline of income for 2024 and beyond. This included reviewing and implementing the fundraising strategy and planning work carried out in 2022 and early 2023.
Although at year end the funds position of the charity was low, we were notified of success in grant applications to The National Lottery Community Fund (£381K over 3 years) and the Department of Health and Social Care Suicide Prevention Fund (£263K over 15 months) in December. Both projects will launch in early 2024, hence the income being recognised in the following financial year, but the year will start with a far stronger income pipeline than in previous years.
The Board of Trustees remained clear on governance priorities. The full Board, Finance and Governance sub-committees continued to meet at a minimum of quarterly intervals during the year. Given financial pressures seen in year, these remained under scrutiny with the Board.
The charity continued to work in partnership with the following organisations assisting us in the successful delivery of services to survivors:
Fairfield Independent Hospital, who we thank for their support up until the move from the site in May 2023
- Steps Together, who we welcomed as our new rehabilitation partner from June 2023
- LPG Endermologie, with whom we run a clinic in London and who provide equipment at our rehabilitation centre, allowing us to continue to develop LPG treatment of scarring, pioneered in the UK by The Katie Piper Foundation

- Our newly formed legal panel – Boyes Turner, Leigh Day, Lester Aldridge and Lime, who are helping us to make legal support more accessible to the survivors we work with and better understood by our staff team.
- Lucinda Ellory who has continued to offer discounted hair systems to survivors we support.
VTCT and The Appearance Collective who we work alongside within the visible difference sector.
The team continued to explore partnerships and collaborations with other healthcare providers, companies and charities to benefit our survivor network.
## **2023 has been a year of change, challenge and review for the Katie Piper**
**Foundation.** This included a change in leadership in the summer, with Sarah Green leaving the CEO role in June 2023 and Kate Naish joining the charity as our new CEO in the same month. Chair Sue Killen also stood down in
September after 5 years in the role and was replaced by existing trustee, Nick Rudgard. The trustees note their thanks to both Sarah and Sue for their contributions to the charity.
We, along with the wider board, express our thanks to all the staff who have worked tirelessly in a challenging and changing environment over the past 12 months. Their determination, enthusiasm and resilience are greatly appreciated, and we look forward together to the exciting prospects of the year ahead.

## **What we achieved in 2023**
A one year interim strategy was put in place in 2023, extending the objectives of the previous 3 year strategic plan with the aim of stabilising the charity, below demonstrates achievements against our key strategic themes during the year:
## **Theme 1 – Delivery of tailored and survivor focused rehabilitation:**
During 2023 we resumed face to face support of survivors, with residential rehabilitation restarting at our new home, Rainford Hall in Merseyside. However, the telerehabilitation that has been so successful since 2020 also continued. This blended approach allows The Katie Piper Foundation to reach more survivors and deliver continuing care for as long as it is needed.
Lives of survivors and their families were positively impacted during the year:
- 48 survivors were supported by our rehabilitation programmes. Of those supported, 31 were new referrals in 2023.
- Conducted 31 pre-assessments.
- 4 people attended residential rehabilitation at Rainford hall.
- 19 appointments for survivors attended by survivors at our scar clinic at LPG in London, relaunched in September 2023
- 26 people have been assessed as suitable for support in residential rehabilitation in 2024.
- 20 survivors were supported through new and refreshed hair system replacements and repairs to existing systems.
During 2023, we continued to use 5 different ‘PROMS’ – Patient Reported Outcome Measures: these are accredited scales for measuring different aspects of a patient’s physical and/or psychological state.
The evaluation measures list is:
- EQ-5D (a standardised instrument for use as a measure of health outcome) POSAS Observer Scale (The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale V20/EN)
- Brisbane Burn Scar Impact (BBSIP) for adults.
- CARe (The Centre for Appearance Research Evaluation)
- Patient KPF Experience Evaluation.
The outcomes from the measures informed the service delivery team on
individual patient progress and developments to the structure and delivery of rehabilitation services.

## **Theme 2 – Further understanding of need and impact to continuously improve the access and delivery of rehabilitation** .
In 2023 the charity embarked on a review of all services, funded by The VTCT foundation. In July esteemed burns therapist Dr RuthAnn Fanstone, who had worked with Katie Piper Foundation in earlier years, rejoined the team as Service Design Led to undertake this work.
Over 6 months a comprehensive review was carried out. This involved extensive consultation with survivors., trustees and staff to ensure their needs were being met and to consider how services could develop and evolve. Consultation with the NHS, a vital partner, was also important with 36 in depth interviews carried out to understand how Katie Piper Foundation is viewed by Healthcare Professionals and what is wanted from the charity in the future.
## **Theme 3 – Achieving sustainable finances:**
In 2023 our overall income fell from £547,823 to £465,815. This was mainly due to lower than expected income from grants and trusts in the first part of the year. A focus in the latter part of the year to build the case for support and clear requests from project funding led to an increase in grant funding, most notably from the National Lottery Community Fund and the Department of Health and Social Care Suicide prevention fund, although these funds will be received next year.
Building on the success of our inaugural event in 2022, the Christmas carol concert, held at St Peters Church, London in December was a successful fundraising event for the charity and, together with a summer fundraising lunch, introduced new donors to the charity. This has resulted in an events committee being established for 2024 to increase the number of fundraising events organised.

## Survivor Stories
## **Aimee's story - Making all things possible**
Aimee, an aspiring golfer from the age of 16, was seriously burned at a family bonfire aged 25. Sustaining 58.5% body burns Aimee was in a coma for 27 days and in hospital for 257 days. **Aimee recalls waking and not knowing if she was dead or alive.**
Since leaving hospital Aimee has been supported by the Katie Piper Foundation where she has had an individualised rehabilitation programme designed around her needs, including specialists working together to provide for her physical and psychological needs. This was done collaboratively in line with the goals Aimee set for herself.
## **Aimee said,**
_“Who knows what my future would have been like without Katie and the Foundation? With the support I have had, I am now living the life I had only ever imagined for myself, I owe The Katie Piper Foundation my life”._
2023 was the **year Aimee achieved a huge milestone, she became The Lady Captain of her Golf Club, and on the 7th of May 2023, she won the Somerset Ladies County Championship - goals she had only ever dreamed of especially after being told she would barely walk again let alone play golf.** She has also raised almost £13,000 to support the charity’s work.
In Aimee's words _'she's doing all that she can to create this life because she survived'._

## **David’s Story**
David sustained traumatic burns to his entire body when he fell asleep in front of a gas fire. He woke to find his dog, Kane, tugging at his leg, and quickly realised the room was filled with smoke. Unaware of the severity of his injuries, David called a Taxi who rushed him to the hospital.
David first approached the Katie Piper Foundation in 2020, 3 years after sustaining his injuries. He was dependent on alcohol, sleeping on the sofa, not leaving his house, and in a poor psychological state. He regularly considered taking his own life and couldn’t see a future.
The Katie Piper Foundation worked with the NHS to enrol him in a drug and alcohol detox programme and then, once he had stopped drinking, began intensive and bespoke rehabilitation support.
With significant and specialist psychological support, David has been able to come to terms with the emotional impact of his injuries. We provided a personal trainer and physiotherapy services, enabling David to improve his scarring and regain his physical strength - to the point where he can now take Kane on daily walks again.
David was proud to be the first patient in our new rehabilitation unit at Rainford Hall in June 2023 where, alongside other therapies, David talked with a career counsellor about starting to move towards returning to work - something he didn’t ever envisage being possible.
In his own words, David said:
"In a nutshell, I don’t know where I would be without the charity, what they have done for me is nothing short of a miracle".
**Aimee and David’s journeys demonstrate the impact our work has on survivors, and how we support people to not just survive but thrive in life again.**

## **2024 PLANS, PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES**
With 2023 having been a year of change, challenge and review, 2024 will be a year to stabilise, build foundations and grow. Our objective themes remain widely unchanged.
## **Theme 1 – Delivery of tailored and survivor focused rehabilitation:**
This continues to be a key objective and fulfils the main mission of the Katie Piper Foundation. Following review in 2023, we will fully launch our revised rehabilitation programme, ensuring an expert led and cost effective service is delivered to all survivors, regardless of their background or circumstances.
The funding secured from The National Lottery Community Fund and Department of Health and Social Care Suicide Prevention Fund will mean that staffing in the charity can be increased and new third party therapists can be engaged – ensuring that more survivors can be reached, with a particular emphasis on supporting survivors who are struggling with mental health issues and are at risk of suicide.
Our residential rehabilitation at Rainford Hall will continue to grow with an objective to deliver a minimum of 12 weeks in 2024, reaching 12-24 survivors. We will also trial group residential retreats over 3 days, working in partnership with Dan’s Fund for Burns.
## **Theme 2 – Further understanding of need and impact to continuously improve the access and delivery of rehabilitation.**
An important part of our rehabilitation is, and has always been, providing Restorative Services to support the visual appearance differences resulting from burns and scarring, which can have such a profound impact on a survivor’s psychological wellbeing, quality of life and ability to function. As part of the consultation with in 2023 it was identified these are a highly valued part of the services offered by Katie Piper Foundation, particularly by NHS staff, but they have been less prioritised in the past 3 years due to Covid restrictions and limited funding.
We now need to review our Restorative Services ensuring it is fit-for-purpose, responds to changing needs of survivors and is sustainable in the longer term, and this is a project we hope to embark on in the latter part of 2024, subject to securing funding,
Katie Piper Foundation | Annual Report 2023
11
This work involves specialised therapies to address the visual appearance changes experienced by survivors, including providing specialist hair replacement like wigs and hair systems for those with scarred or grafted skin, offering medical tattooing for missing or altered features, using micro needling techniques to improve scarring's pliability, texture, and appearance, and performing camouflaging procedures with medical-grade creams and powders to reduce the visibility of scarring and boost confidence. Additionally, psychological support is offered to tackle the mental health needs arising from these changes. The overarching goal is to improve survivors' physical wellbeing, self-esteem, and overall quality of life, aiding them in regaining confidence, rebuilding their lives, and lessening the visible and emotional impact of scarring. These therapeutic interventions are crucial elements of our work, significantly contributing to survivors' recovery journeys.
We will continue to review, evaluate and develop all aspects of our rehabilitation pathway in 2024, notably reviewing all internal processes, polices and procedures.
## **Theme 3 – Achieving sustainable finances:**
Whilst success at the end of the year means 2024 is started in a more favourable financial position, achieving sustainable, long term income remains a key priority. In 2024 we hope to grow our fundraising team, currently one full time manager, and supplement this team with an external bid writer and event organiser.
Priority funding areas for the year are:
1. Grant Funding
2. Event income from charity led events.
3. Establishing a major donor events committee
4. Stewardship of existing donors
5. Corporate income
6. Fundraising within the survivor community
## **Theme 4 – Telling our story.**
To grow our reach and support more survivors we need to amplify the identity and key messages of the Katie Piper Foundation.
A planned relaunch of the charity’s brand in spring 2024 will see a refreshed logo, identity and key messaging.
Katie Piper Foundation | Annual Report 2023
12
This will be complemented by a new marketing and communications plan to all audiences, but notably NHS units and survivors with new materials within all NHS burns Centres, enabled by our lottery funding.
A new Digital, Communications and Marketing Officer will be recruited in early 2024 to support this work, jointly funded by the lottery and suicide prevention fund.
In addition, a new digital communications strategy will develop and launched, including development of a new website and interactive platform, again enabled by funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.
## **Safeguarding**
Katie Piper Foundation is committed to safeguarding and ensuring the welfare of adults at risk, and expects all Trustees, employees and volunteers to share this commitment. As such, we have robust safeguarding policies and procedures in place. This includes carrying out disclosure and barring checks as appropriate on those staff members whose roles work directly with vulnerable adults. During the reporting period no significant safeguarding concerns were reported to the Safeguarding Lead.
## **GDPR**
Katie Piper Foundation takes data protection seriously, and our procedures around confidentiality and GDPR are clearly documented and regularly reviewed. All staff members have undertaken training in this area. The charity does not currently use professional fundraising services, does not engage in telephone fundraising via external agencies, and does not use wealth screening services. No breaches have been reported in 2023.
## **Risk management.**
A comprehensive risk register is maintained by the CEO and regularly reviewed with the board and staff team. The Trustees discuss risks quarterly at the governance sub-committee and as a Board. Major risks are also assessed annually by the board, particularly those related to governance and management, operations, finances, external environment and compliance, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the Foundation's exposure to the major risks in these categories.
Katie Piper Foundation | Annual Report 2023

## **Financial Review**
2023 was a challenging year financially for the charity. Income fell from the previous year to £463,000, a fall of 15%. At the same time, expenditure remained consistent at £520,334, leading to a year end deficit of £54,519. This was mainly due to lower than expected income from grants and trusts and other fundraising in the first part of the year.
This led to a significant drop in the charity funds, with the year end position being £11,687, with a £2,256 deficit in unrestricted funds.
However, a focus in the latter part of the year to build the case for support and focus on longer term project funding led to an increase in grant funding, most notably from the National Lottery Community Fund (£381,000 over 3 years) and the Department of Health and Social Care Suicide prevention fund (£263,000 over 15 months) , These funds were notified in December 2023, but will not be received until the projects start in January 2024, so will be reflected in 2024 accounts, In addition a new fundraising and marketing manager, in post from July 2023, has built a stronger pipeline of fundraising activity and further growth in income is expected in 2024.
There is therefore confidence in the charity’s funds position being improved in 2024 and there is no uncertainty about the charity as a going concern.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity needs financial resources to achieve its purposes and must plan for the longer term to ensure continuity.
## **The charity forecasts expenditure based on:**
- Planned activity and the analysis of future needs.
- The reliability and volatility of income.
- The need to cover contingencies and the ability to be able to respond to unexpected events or opportunities.
The policy in 2023 has been to set a monthly target for minimum cash reserves, based on covering core expenditure and staffing costs for 1 month. This was initially set at £50K. Trustees review monthly to assess ability to cover costs.
There has been close monitoring of income and expenditure throughout the year by the Chief Executive and the Board of Trustees due to operating below the minimum reserves of £50K at several points in the year.
Katie Piper Foundation | Annual Report 2023
14
The reserves policy will be reviewed again in 2024 once financial stability is achieved to ensure reserves do not run this low again.
## **Trustees**
Katie Piper Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee with no shares. It is managed by a Board of Trustees who currently meet a minimum of four times a year.
The Trustees, who are also the Directors for the purpose of company law and who served during the year were:
Susan Killen, until September 2023 Joanne Mackie Jackie Martin Nicola Murphy, until July 2023 Ciaran O'Boyle, stood down February 2024 Caryn Owen Katie Piper Nicholas Rudgard Andrea Sofield Dr Tim Woodman, stood down March 2024
The Board was comprised of ten members, and eight at the end of the year. Since year end 2 further trustees have stood down, and 5 new trustees have been appointed (Allyson Ballard, Helen Jeremiah, Annie Perez, Mark Roberts and Laura Rolley, appointed July 2024). The Memorandum and Articles of Association defines that there should not be less than three Trustees at any one time, of whom at least three quarters shall be resident in the United Kingdom; a quorum is defined as at least 50% of the total number of Trustees. Trustees can serve for two terms of three years with the option of serving an additional term.
A Trustee is appointed by recommendation of the Trustees, or by proposal of a Trustee entitled to vote at a meeting of the Foundation.
When a vacancy on the Board arises, Trustees will advertise the role openly and invite applications, with a focus on filling identified skills gaps on the board and building the representation of those with lived experience of burns and scarring.
Katie Piper Foundation | Annual Report 2023

Having short-listed a suitable candidate, a minimum of two Trustees will interview them to confirm their commitment to the work of the charity and their ability to fulfil the duties of a Trustee. The CEO and management team will support this process as needed.
The Katie Piper Foundation believes it is important to have transparency in decision-making and Trustees are required to declare conflicts to the Board as per the requirements of the conflicts of interest policy.
## **Trustee responsibilities**
Company and charity 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 charitable company and of the surplus or deficit of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - 1) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 2) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 3) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the
Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Independent examiner**
Paul Cowham has been appointed as Independent Examiner to the charity.
## **Small companies’ exemption**
This report has been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime. This report was approved by the board on 22 April 2024 and signed on their behalf.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KATIE PIPER FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 15 to 28.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
- to follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Since the Company’s gross income exceeds £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.
Katie Piper Foundation | Annual Report 2023
17
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- ·to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
·to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
2)to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **Katie Piper Foundation**
## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## **1 Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **a Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 section 1A.
Katie Piper Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
## **b Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice**
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. No such restatement was required.
## **c**
## **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
Unrestricted reserves were in deficit by £2,256 as at 31 December 2023. The trustees are aware of this, however additional funding has been received after 31 December 23, and the charity is predicted to make a surplus in 2024. Therefore the trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. There are no key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are anysources ofestimation uncertaintyat thereporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether capital grants or revenue grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## **e Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees annual report for more information about
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity 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.
## **f Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **g Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **h Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
