Report of the Trustees

The directors of Ichthyosis Group Support Ltd (“the charitable company”) are its Trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as its Trustees. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 (FRS102) (updated 1 January 2019).

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting the charitable company’s report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Grant Making

Should we receive suitable project applications and if funds allow, the Charity makes a grant for an amount to be decided from year to year and to be available for research projects. Applications are welcomed and assessed by the Medical Advisory Board.

Awarded grants of £20,116 to the Epidemiological Study of People Living with Ichthyoses in England, which will be paid in the next financial year and £1000 to the Genetic Skin Disease Database in Scotland.

Volunteer’s Contribution

Unpaid volunteers made valuable contributions to the efforts of the Charity during the year by networking with affected families, by raising funds and providing help at our national and other events, and to our Office Manager in the ISG office. We also have a number of dedicated volunteers that participate and are actively involved during our annual national event and children’s camps. The dedicated team of ‘Ambassadors ‘continue to support ISG members and activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In exercising their duties to achieve the objectives of the Charity as set out above, the directors have paid due regard to the Charity Commissioners’ guidance on public benefit in deciding what the activities should be.

The following are the major achievements of the Charity during the reporting and subsequent period in fulfilling its objects and duty of public benefit:

Report of the Trustees (continued)

FUTURE PLANS

We have organised an Ichthyosis Information Day in Perth, Scotland in September 2024 and an Ichthyosis Event at Barretstown, Ireland in October 2024. To make plans to expand the ISG’s operational structure and activities and implement projects that resources and funds had not previously allowed.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As can be seen from the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11, largely due to a sizeable legacy received in 2021/22, there are unrestricted funds in excess of £416,000. To utilize our resource we are considering the following:

Restricted funds of £10,748 remain to be spent in future years. After designated funds of £9,953 set aside for grants for research purposes, general funds of £64,142 in addition to the legacy fund of £342,777 are available for ongoing charitable purpose. Depending on decisions to be made with the legacy monies, additional funds may be allocated accordingly in the future.

Even though we received a generous legacy amount, once this is invested, we remain reliant on individual members and others carrying out fundraising efforts on the Charity’s behalf, and our success at winning grants. In the future this could leave us vulnerable to substantial fluctuations of income and therefore we need to rigorously continue our efforts to keep them in good shape.

General Reserve Policy

In view of the fact that much of the charity’s income arises from grants, proceeds of special events, sponsorships and other fundraising efforts on a “one-off” basis, the reoccurrence of which cannot be guaranteed from one year to another, it is considered desirable to maintain a General Reserve Level equal to the core expenditure and other known commitments budgeted to occur in the following accounting year, less anticipated regular income in that year. This would require an amount of around £65,000. As at 30[th] June 2024, un-restricted free reserves were £63,054, which is just short of that required by our policy.

Review of the Reserve Policy

The Reserve Policy is reviewed annually after the end of the financial year in the light of the results for that financial year, or earlier if there is any substantial change in the Charity’s financial circumstances.

Risk Assessment

Trustees endeavour to identify the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and put in place procedures to manage such risks on an on-going basis. Appropriate insurance cover is held or taken out covering employment risks and such other risks that may be identified from time to time.

FUNDS HELD AS A CUSTODIAN TRUSTEE

No such funds are held.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational Structure and Decision Making

The Board of directors meet a minimum of four times a year in person, or more often as necessary, in addition to numerous conference calls. They administer the Charity and take major and strategic decisions. Day-to-day functions are carried out by the Administrator and by some Board members.

Governing Document

The governing document is the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions set out in the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, where applicable.

Method of Recruitment and Appointment of Directors

Directors must be a member of the Charity and not be disqualified as a Director or Trustee by the Articles. No body or individual external to the Charity is permitted to appoint directors. Members are invited to put themselves forward or be nominated by other members as directors by means of newsletters circulated to all members by post or electronically, and invited to do so at General Meetings.

Directors are elected by the members at General Meetings for a term of three years. Directors may offer themselves for re-election at the end of their term of office.

The Board may at any time co-opt any individual who is qualified to be appointed as a director to fill a vacancy in their number or as an additional director. A co-opted director holds office until the next General Meeting at which they must stand for election by the members.

Induction and Training of Directors

Once appointed, new directors receive appropriate training in their duties and responsibilities by reference to relevant literature including publications issued by the Charity Commissioners and advice and assistance from existing directors. Where possible, directors are encouraged to attend related training courses and seminars.

Ichthyosis Support Group Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

Principal accounting policies

Status of the company

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. The liability of members is limited to £10 per member.

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 (FRS102) (updated 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Ichthyosis Support Group 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 note(s).

Going concern statement

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Charitable Company will continue to operate. The validity of this assumption is dependent upon the continuance of support from the Charitable Company's supporters and donors. The Charitable Company's current business plan shows that the Charitable Company will be able to operate in the foreseeable future. Based on this understanding, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments, which would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.

Funds

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the 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 and grants subject to conditions imposed by the provider or by specific terms of the appeal under which the funds were raised. The restrictive conditions are binding upon the Charitable Company.

Income

Income is recognised when the charitable company 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 relating to future periods, as a result of donor imposed conditions specifying the time period, has been treated as deferred income.

Income dependent on certain conditions, amounting to more than mere administrative requirements, is recognised when the conditions have been fulfilled.

13

Ichthyosis Support Group Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

Principal accounting policies (continued)

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 charitable company of the item is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP FRS102, general volunteer time is not recognised.

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

Investment income receivable

Bank interest and dividends are shown on the basis of amounts receivable in the year.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charitable company to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at a rate calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over a period of less than the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Computer equipment, Office equipment & furniture 20% per annum Fixed asset purchases above £500 are capitalised.

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments comprise listed investments and are included at market value. Listed investments are included at closing mid-market value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits repayable within a three month notice period.

Debtors

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

14

Ichthyosis Support Group Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

Principal accounting policies (continued)

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Taxation

As a registered charity with no trading activities, no provision is considered necessary for taxation.

Pension costs

The charity contributes into a Group Personal Pension Plan for employees. This pension plan is defined contribution in nature and as required under FRS102 the annual cost is recognised as incurred and included in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Foreign exchange movements

The charity has a Euro bank account to receive funds raised by members in the Republic of Ireland. The balance is converted to sterling at the year end rate and any exchange movements are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities and treated as ‘Other income/Expense’.

Cash flow

Under Charities SORP FRS102, update bulletin 1, as a small charity there is no requirement to produce a cashflow statement.
