Dr Alison Tedstone MBE RNutr FFAfN, AfN President & Chair of Council

It is a privilege to present the Annual Report on behalf of the Council of the Association for Nutrition (AfN).

As a dedicated organisation focused on delivering public benefit, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our trustees, volunteers, staff, and registrants whose efforts have been essential to our achievements this year.

With the conclusion of our 2020-25 strategic plan, we are excited to shape our future direction as we set our sights on the period leading up to 2030.

We look forward to continuing our work, providing public benefit through ensuring and supporting the safe, effective and ethical practice of our registrants.

Helen Clark, AfN Chief Executive

It remains a privilege and pleasure to work with AfN and the wonderful profession of registered nutritionists.

2025 marks the end of one strategic plan period and the start of the next. Reflecting on our progress over the last five years, I am so grateful to the team of staff and volunteers who have delivered new services and resources to support our registrants to maintain and develop their expertise, and to ensure public protection through promoting the safe, effective and ethical practice of our registrants.

This work has laid strong foundations to underpin our future as we pursue our aspirations for the coming years.

I am grateful for your continued support as we embark on the next exciting period of our organisation’s journey.

Our work for public benefit

The Association for Nutrition (AfN) is a charitable company limited by guarantee, having no share capital. Members of Council are the members, trustees and directors of the Association and have a liability not exceeding £1 each.

The charitable company is governed by its Articles of Association and subsidiary Rules.

The Association holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM), with annual Council elections for terms of office of three years.

The Council met three times in the year to 31st March 2025.

Council is advised by standing committees and ad hoc working groups and task and finish groups.

All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year.

Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chief Executive and, in accordance with AfN policy, withdraw from decisions when a conflict of interest arises.

5

Our Charitable Objects

As a registered charity we have three charitable objects which have public benefit at their heart, and form the foundation of all our activities.

To promote the health of the public by the promotion and maintenance of high standards of practice among, and the regulation of, nutritionists.

To advance the study and practice of nutritional science and medicine.

To advance the education of the public and to promote research for the public interest in the field of nutrition, health and allied subjects.

Our Vision

Everyone is empowered to improve health and wellbeing through nutrition grounded in science.

Our Values

We are a transparent, approachable and fair regulator, acting with integrity to protect the public.

6

Our Strategy

Our Strategic Plan 2020-2025 focuses on four strategic outcomes that we believe are core to the achievement of our vision.

Strategic Outcome One

Everyone recognises the value of the nutrition profession and the essential role of AfN and its register (The UKVRN - UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists).

Strategic Outcome Two

We have high standards for education, training and practice, developed through stakeholder engagement.

Strategic Outcome Three

AfN competencies are recognised as the standard for the regulation of nutritionists in the UK and beyond.

Strategic Outcome Four

Our registrants are supported to be effective through clear guidance, a CPD framework and robust regulation.

7

Recognising Our Volunteers

The contribution our volunteers make to the achievement of our charitable objectives is enormously valued and is central to both our work and achievements.

Our volunteers are made up of both non-registrants and Registrants, all of whom freely give their time, support and expertise to help us achieve our vision and deliver our ambitious programme of work.

We are delighted to have had over 150 dedicated volunteers supporting the organisation. These include:

Governance and Responsibilities

The Association for Nutrition (AfN) has a wellstructured governance system that ensures effective leadership and management of the organisation.

The Articles of Association and subsidiary rules detail the appointment procedures for Trustees, Officers and Committee Chairs. Trustees are provided with induction packs and access to charity trustee training.

Our Trustees are collectively responsible for setting the AfN's vision and strategic objectives, ensuring these are in line with our charitable objects. The Executive (staff) are subsequently charged by the Trustees to manage and deliver the agreed activities. This division of duties allows for efficient execution of the AfN's mission, pursuit of the organisation’s charitable goals and the maintenance of proper oversight.

Our Strategic Activities

To support the achievement of our four strategic outcomes and our charitable objects we undertake a variety of activities each year.

Over the next few pages, we provide details of some of the main activities we have undertaken during the period of 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.

Registration of professionals who are qualified and competent in nutrition

Our Register continues to benefit the public, employers, and colleagues by providing an easily accessible and searchable online database of nutrition professionals who have demonstrated their adherence to the high standards of UKVRN registration required for registration as a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) Registered Nutritionist (RNutr).

During this reporting period:

12

Three new Registration Assessors successfully completed their training and joined the assessor pool.

To ensure our registrants are fully supported to practice professionally and safely, updates were made to registrants’ Standards of Ethics, Conduct and Performance, communicated to registrants in January.

To provide the public with confidence that registrants maintain and enhance their knowledge, understanding and skills, we updated our registrants’ CPD requirements and audit guidance document. We also provided registrants with additional resources to support them with their CPD planning, recording and reflection. To support the administration and communication of the annual audit of registrants’ CPD records, we moved the audit selection points from the end of the April and October renewal periods to one single-audit selection point in January. 5157 Registrants | (on 31 Mar 2025)

Course Certification for Below-Degree Level Training in Nutrition Essentials for the Non-Nutritionist Workforce

Many professionals within the broader workforce do not need the extensive expertise of a registered nutritionist (ANutr or RNutr); however, having a basic understanding of nutrition science can help them guide the public toward trustworthy and accurate nutrition information.

To assist learners in identifying training that is evidencebased and suitable for both their sector and level of activity, we continue to run a Course Certification quality assurance scheme. The training is assessed against frameworks for fitness & leisure, catering, and the health & social care sectors.

Whilst completing a certified course does not provide the learner with a professional title, AfN Certified Courses and Curricula provide evidence-based foundational knowledge and can enhance learners CVs. The scheme also provides learners and employers with reassurance that the training has been independently assessed by those with expertise within the field of study.

Fitness to Practise

During the period of this report, there were eleven fitness to practise concerns reported to AfN.

Two of these concerns were related to the practice of individuals who were not UKVRN registrants and could not therefore be investigated. Advice was provided to the complainants on alternative pathways for raising their concerns.

The remaining nine concerns related to UKVRN registrants and were within our remit to investigate.

Two cases related to information posts on social media. These were immediately removed by the individuals, and the cases were closed with the registrants undertaking reflection and further CPD.

Three cases related to the advertising of services or products on websites and social media accounts. One case was closed as an initial investigation identified there was no case to answer. The remaining two cases were closed following the prompt amendment of the post wording, so as to remove ambiguity and ensure alignment with the UKVRN Standards of Ethics, Conduct and Performance.

18

One case related to a recently qualified registrant infringing the intellectual property of another registrant. The case was closed prior to the investigation stage, as the two registrants corresponded directly, misunderstandings of the new graduate were addressed and the issue promptly rectified.

At the end of this reporting period, three cases remained under investigation and will be reported in the next annual report.

To provide the public, policy makers, employers and professionals with further confidence in the robustness and independence of our Fitness to Practise processes, the recruitment of a new Fitness to Practice Referral Panel has begun during this reporting period.

This panel, which has majority lay membership, will review cases to determine their referral to an Investigation Panel Review, provide an independent review of all early-stage decisions, and provide recommendations to the AfN Council on areas where additional guidance could support the continued safe, effective and ethical practice of registrants, and their upholding of all UKVRN standards.

_ 19

Future Plans

To increase awareness of our activities and the impact of registered nutritionists’ work in providing public benefit, we will continue to increase our online presence, utilising the dissemination opportunities provided by social media channels.

As we come to the end of the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan period, the trustees are reviewing our strategic plans and holding an open consultation to enable the next strategic plan for be finalised and provide a roadmap to 2030.

Overview

Reserves Policy Reviewed and approved by Council 26th June 2025

==> picture [108 x 439] intentionally omitted <==

AfN holds Reserves in order to ensure that it is able to continue to deliver its services in regard to its charitable objects in the event of something unexpected happening that leads to a temporary reduction in income.

Holding Reserves also supports the management of risk which the Association may face and ensures that potential liabilities can be discharged.

The Association’s Trustees hereby confirm that:

The AfN Reserves Policy has been based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the risks, obligations and opportunities that the organisation does or could face.

Trustees have regularly reviewed risks and have taken appropriate mitigating action. As a result, they have a thorough understanding of the risks which may impact the Association.

Trustees are satisfied that the financial information with which they have been furnished has fully informed their understanding of the financial position of the organisation.

24

Reserves Policy (cont.) Reviewed and approved by Council 26th June 2025

Trustees are confident that the level of Reserves which has been determined is rational, adequate and appropriate for the Association needs.

The Trustees have agreed to maintain reserves at a level of no less than £150,000. The level of Reserves has been determined in order to provide the capacity to resolve an adverse situation once or before it occurs. It takes into account the current risks to the organisation and the potential impact of unforeseen events.

Requisite consideration has been given to the impact of both over-reserving as well as the danger of under reserving.

The Reserves Policy has been quantified to meet the working capital needs of the Association

Reserves will not be utilised to fund the acquisition of fixed assets.

==> picture [119 x 439] intentionally omitted <==

The Association is totally committed to providing public benefit and the Reserves Policy embodies the sustainability of that pre-eminent objective.

25

Investment Policy Reviewed and approved by Council 26th June 2025

Funds not currently required for operational or developmental purposes in the short or medium-term are held in bank deposit accounts with either a mainstream provider (i.e., one of the UK national banks) or, if of financial benefit (lower risk or higher returns), with a mainstream UK based provider of deposit accounts or bonds.

==> picture [109 x 439] intentionally omitted <==

Approval to open a new account with a mainstream UK-based provider of deposit accounts, short-term corporate bonds, UK Government Securities or common investment funds requires the approval of Finance Committee.

Cash to meet working capital needs will be held with our main bankers to provide security unless it can be demonstrated that a mainstream UKbased provider of deposit accounts, short-term bonds or medium term collective investments can offer either lower risk or higher returns, in which case surplus funds will be placed with such a provider.

Cash balances will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the AfN Finance Manager in consultation with the Chief Executive and reported in a note accompanying the quarterly management accounts.

26

Investment Policy (Cont.) Reviewed and approved by Council 26th June 2025

The Finance Manager will subsequently make recommendations to the Chief Executive regarding the movement of funds within existing accounts or invested in longer-term instruments as appropriate and necessary.

A full review of AfN’s investments will be prepared annually and then considered and approved by both Finance Committee and Council.

Notes forming part of the financial statements

Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation and uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

The accounts are prepared in accordance with the accounting regulations set out under the Charities Act 2011, and with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP2015), issued by the Charity Commission, and the Financial Reporting Standard FRS102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated below.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income

Income is included in the accounts once the charity has entitlement, the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability and there is the probability of receipt.

Earned income is included in the period in which the service is provided, if any performance conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity.

Expenditure

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis when incurred, that is when a legal or constructive obligation arises, and includes related irrecoverable VAT.

Future liabilities are included at the best estimate of the amount required to settle them.

34

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Tangible fixed assets costing over £500 (including any incidental expenses of acquisition) are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life. The rates of depreciation applied to each class of asset are:

IT & Office equipment - 33% straight line

Pensions

The charity makes contributions for eligible employees, to a defined contribution pension scheme, which are included in the accounts when they become payable.

Fund

Restricted funds are funds which must be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the terms of a specific appeal. Expenditure which meets this criterion is drawn from the fund.

Unrestricted funds are those funds which can be used for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees have, at their discretion, temporarily set aside resources for a specific purpose.

Prior Year Adjustment

Shortly before the end of the 2024 - 25 financial year, the 5-year lease on the Association’s office in central London expired and was not renewed. Apart from the obvious cost savings that will be realised in financial year 2025 - 26, some historic provisions and accruals appertaining to the lease and other undertakings that had been posted in recent years were no longer considered to be on-going liabilities and, consequently, they were removed from the year-end accounts.
