## ICP Support 

**Annual Report and Financial Statements** For the year ended 31[st] December 2024 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31st December 2024. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2019, the Constitution (formerly 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **Chair of Trustees’ Report** 

2024 has proved to be an exciting but challenging year for ICP Support, with our founder and CEO, Jenny Chambers, stepping down in early 2024. We have been so grateful to our supporters and small team who have been dedicated to maintaining the support and information offered. We are delighted to have appointed a new CEO, Katy Crabbe, in January 2025 who will be able to support the charity to continue to thrive and deliver its core aims. 

We thank all our supporters who have donated to ICP over 2024 – we could not provide the services we do without your help – and it means we can continue to help fund research, support women and their families, and enable us to fulfil our aim that every ICP baby is born safely. 

A key moment for me in September 2024 was our extremely successful Ball, which raised much needed funds, as well as honouring our outgoing CEO and Founder who has helped and supported countless women and families.  As Chair, I can honestly say that whilst this last year has been challenging, I remain honoured to be a part of such a fantastic charity and I am excited to see what opportunities await us in 2025. 

Jenny Hastings - Chair of Trustees 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The object for which the charity has been established is the relief of sickness and preservation of good health among women affected by the liver conditions of pregnancy called obstetric cholestasis, also known as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). In particular but not exclusively by: 

1) Providing information and support to women affected by ICP and their families 

2) Advancing education of the condition for public benefit. 

3) Promoting, supporting and raising funds for research into the condition. The useful results of which will be disseminated for the benefit of the public. 

The work of the charity is to ensure that all pregnant women and all health professionals who provide care for them are aware of this potentially devastating condition. This is vital if unborn ICP babies are to be better protected.

When reviewing the company’s aims and objectives and planning future activities, the trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

ICP Support relies on grants and income from fees to cover its operational costs. The Trustees monitor the operational costs and level of liquidity to ensure the Charity can meet its objectives. 

## **Providing information and support to women affected by ICP and their families.** 

Social media and our Support and Information email and line continue to be the channels through which we provide information and support and deliver public benefit. Our most popular point of access for information and support on ICP is still through our social media groups. 

We have several Facebook groups and a Facebook page. At the end of 2024 the main group had over 10,000 members. Our Facebook page has 7,400 followers, the Beyond Birth (postnatal) Facebook group has 2,700 members and continues to grow rapidly -  there is a noted demand for providing support to women who continue to have ICP-related issues after their babies are born, right the way through to menopause. 

The Health Professionals group has grown from 394 members to 428, but activity is still light. Information is also disseminated through X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and Threads, where engagement continues to increase substantially. 

Other sources of information continue to be through our website and our generic information leaflet. 

## **Advancing education of the condition for public benefit.** 

We have continued to innovate in our efforts of raising awareness and providing information on ICP to anyone affected by ICP. Various infographics have been produced and are based on research findings. Utilised across our various social media platforms and website, they provide an accessible way for professionals and users to access up to date evidence on ICP.

## **Collaborative Work** 

We have continued our collaborative work with other organisations, and this year the organisations we have worked with include: Pregnancy and Baby Charities Network, Baby Loss Awareness Week, Consortium EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver), Covid-19 Enquiry. 

## **Promoting and supporting research into the condition.** 

The NIHR (National Institute for Health Research) has an expectation that research conducted in the UK involves the patients (or patient organisations) representing the condition being researched. This is referred to as PPI (Patient and Public Involvement), and ICP Support has been at the forefront of PPI since the charity’s inception in the 1990s. This takes the form of being involved with the design of studies into ICP, conducting surveys that help researchers to know whether their research intentions are feasible and facilitating the recruitment of participants to the actual studies. This year we have worked with Professor Catherine Williamson from Imperial College, London and we have also continued our work with Professor Bill Hague from Adelaide, Australia. 

## **Grants Awarded to ICP Support in 2024:** 


The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust £5k for core costs 


Foyle Foundation £5k for core costs 


Richer Sounds £10,000 funding towards education training videos 

The Richer Sounds grant will be carried forward and spent in 2025. 

## **Future Plans:** 

In 2025 ICP Support will outline several strategic plans aligned to its aims and objectives and to advance its vision of ‘every baby being born healthy’.  The charity aims to enhance its services by expanding its volunteer network to enable us to offer a diverse background of volunteers for our service users. Trustees further aim to establish a renewed funding strategy and increase engagement with women who have a higher risk of developing ICP.

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees confirm that when setting the objectives and planning the activities of ICP, they have considered and complied with the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit. 

## **Financial Review** 

The charity started the year with unrestricted cash reserves of £30,944 available to finance the day-to-day operations of the charity. The balance has increased from 2023 with successful fundraising, particularly from the September Ball, and also with £10,000 in unrestricted grants towards our core costs. We ended 2024 with £44,509 in unrestricted reserves representing approximately 12 months expenditure. 

The charity’s focus for 2024 continued to be on fundraising to try to ensure that the operational costs to the charity were met and to provide a basis for growth in the future. Unrestricted income for 2024 was £102,171, which was an increase of 49.4% on the previous year. This was mainly due to the fundraising Ball and unrestricted grants received. As ever, we are proud of the amount raised and thankful for the continued generosity of our donors and patrons, particularly with the continuing financial challenges in the charity sector. 

The trustees continue to operate with a Finance Committee that oversees and discusses the financial objectives of the charity, looks at pay and remuneration, and monitors cashflow and future income and expenditure. The committee continues to meet monthly, and the Treasurer circulates a summary of the discussion points and any proposals to all Trustees. The Finance Committee does not have approval rights, and any final proposals are approved at the next full Trustees’ Meeting. 

Expenditure continued to be on operational activities overall, with more spent on fundraising activities, particularly the Ball, than in 2023. 

Overall, the charity had a surplus of income over expenditure of £13,565. This means that at the end of 2024 the charity had unrestricted cash reserves of £44,509, which allows us to continue our work through 2025. However, we are conscious that continuing to raise funds and obtain grants is imperative to allow ICP support to continue to support those affected by ICP. 

In addition, we hold an unspent grant of £10,000 from Richer Sounds towards the costs of funding educational videos for GPs and other medical professionals. 

With the grant giver’s permission we have retained this grant to allow the project to be undertaken following the appointment of our new CEO in February 2025. 

## **Policy & Reserves** 

An average unrestricted cash balance of at least three months’ expenditure will always be maintained. There are no plans to invest any of the monies held.

ICP Support is governed by its Charitable Incorporated Organisation Foundation Constitution that sets out the objectives and powers of the charity under the constitution. These remain unchanged. The charity is managed by a Board of Trustees. Individual trustees are appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

Day-to-day management of the organisation is delegated to the CEO. The Chair supervises the CEO, and the CEO supervises other staff members and volunteers. Trustees are recruited through personal recommendation and/or by invitation and are people whose abilities and aims are in tune with those of the company’s charitable purpose. 

In terms of process, candidates meet, in the first instance, with the Chair and CEO. They are then invited to attend an additional interview with other Trustees before being accepted. 

Once appointed, all new Trustees have a period of induction and are provided with key information relating to their rights and responsibilities. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustee Board has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and for ensuring the consistent quality of the delivery of all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity and comply with external regulations and requirements. 

## **Statement of Trustee Responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 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 charity and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the receipts and payments of the charity for that year. 

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

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

## **1.1. Basis of preparation** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts 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 2019) Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

ICP Support meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **1.2. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year-end of £44,509 and has fundraising strategies in place. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern. 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern. 

## **1.3. Recognition of income** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. Donations and legacies, including core grants, sponsorship and gifts, are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. 

## **1.4. Offsetting** 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102. 

## **1.5. Grants and donations**

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 the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met. Grants received for a specific purpose are treated as restricted funds. 

## **1.6. Volunteer help** 

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts **.** 

## **1.7. 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. There were no funds held on deposit in 2024 

## **1.8. Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. 

Restricted funds are grants or 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. 

## **1.9. Liability recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## **1.10. Charitable activities** 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

## **1.11. Creditors** 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## **1.12. Fixed Assets** 

The charity does not currently have any tangible fixed assets. 

## **1.13. Cash and Cash Equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. 

## **1.14. Taxation** 

The CIO 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 organisation for

UK tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3, Part II, Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are used exclusively for charitable purposes. 

## **1.15. Retirement Benefits** 

ICP Support operates an auto-enrolment scheme for its employees and contributes to this scheme. The pension provider is People Pension. 

## **1.16. Leases** 

The charity classifies the office rental lease as an operating lease, where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## **1.17. Allocation of support and governance costs** 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include governance costs, administrative office function costs, HR & recruitment and premises costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Support and governance costs have been allocated 100% to the charitable activity.
