Trustees: P E de Biasio S Williams

Small companies provision statement

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Objectives and Activities

Public benefit

All our charitable activities focus on providing information and support to people affected by environmental illness to facilitate their coping strategies and recovery and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. We aim to reach as many people as possible, whether this is sufferers, members of the public or health care professionals, and increase knowledge of the condition.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

MCS-Aware is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 13th September 2011 and registered as a charity on 22nd May 2013. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, full members (Trustees/ Directors) are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. The support group was founded June 2005 under the name ‘Chemical Free’, before being renamed ‘MCS-Aware’ in 2011.

Recruitment and appointment of management committee

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as full members. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and no trustees received any remuneration during the year. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 6 to the accounts.

Trustees' Report

Trustee induction and training

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity having had experience of environmental illness either personally or through friends and family. We have developed a Trustee Information Pack and Admin Protocol which clearly outlines the running of the charity. People may apply, or the trustees and the charity manager may invite people to become trustees if their background is relevant to the work of the charity. Trustees may appoint any other person as they see fit to a position of full membership, provided this is agreed by unanimous resolution of existing trustees.

Organisational structure

Trustees formally meet twice a year: in spring and with an AGM in the autumn and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. More informally the Trustees communicate on at least a monthly basis as matters arise. Sarah Scott continues in her voluntary position of special advisor and is instrumental in assisting the staff and Trustees.

The charity employs three part time members of staff (self-employed), a charity manager, administration assistant, and marketing assistant. Since we discontinued the production of our members magazine in Spring/Summer 2023, the magazine editors’ hours and responsibilities have been reduced to the marketing assistant role. From April 2024 to January 2025, the marketing assistant carried out the role of acting charity manager (as maternity cover).

We have a limited number of volunteers that cover IT technician and social media content roles. Due to the fact that MCS can be such a life altering, debilitating condition, the charity continues to find it a challenge to recruit active volunteers.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and:

The trustees are responsible for maintaining 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 1985. 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.

Our Aims and Objectives

MCS’s mission is to promote awareness of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), a chronic, physical illness affecting people of all ages and backgrounds, causing sufferers to have allergic-type (metabolic, IgE), reactions to very low levels of chemicals in everyday products, foods, medicines, and electromagnetic/ microwave radiation.

MCS’s vision is of educated healthcare practitioners and improved access to treatment and services for patients with MCS to facilitate recovery. In addition the charity aims to educate and empower sufferers.

Trustees' Report

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This report looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. Our team of advisors includes Jonathan Cohen, nutritional advisor and Dr Apelles Econs, medical advisor. We will review and add to our advisors as we find people whose experience will further the aims of the charity.

The focus of our work

Our main objective for the year was to maintain the charity financially so that we could continue to provide support for people affected by environmental illness. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included:

Main Areas of Charitable activity

The main area of charitable activity is the provision of information on our website and social media and through answering queries directly via email and post. We have an online forum to answer questions and share tips, a PenPal Community and e-newsletter. These activities and the achievements that flow from our work are described below. We provide:

Trustees' Report

How our activities deliver public benefit

Our main activities and those we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on providing information and support to people affected by environmental illness to facilitate coping strategies and recovery and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. We also aim to raise awareness of the condition amongst the public and medical professionals.

Who used and benefited from our services?

While our main paid membership audience is in the UK, we do have a few overseas subscribers and an increasing number of enquiries and emails from overseas. We include links to services and help-groups in other countries to provide information for these people on our website and in our e-newsletter. The impact of our work goes far beyond those we help directly and includes reducing the distress suffered by the families and friends of sufferers, as well as informing and educating health practitioners.

In terms of reach, the MCS-Aware Facebook page (www.facebook.com/mcsaware) currently has 3.7k followers, the demographics can be seen above.

Therefore, while our paid membership is relatively low, our reach via Facebook is significant and the USA is the country with the strongest engagement via that platform. In May 2025, when preparing this report, our social media in the last 28 days has reached 9288 views.

Equal access to our services is important to us. We provide information by post on chlorine-free paper, and information online and by email to ensure access for a variety of disabilities. As many people with EI have restricted incomes, we ensure that a good proportion of our key information is available free online, including our e-newsletter and forum.

Affiliations

We have established good working links with several other organisations and are officially affiliated to the 25% ME Group, the British Society for Ecological Medicine (BSEM), Foods Matter, ES-UK, Pesticide Action Network and LightAware. In the past we have also worked closely with the Stevenage Fibromyalgia Group. We collaborate with The Environmental Health Association of Quebec and The Environmental Health Association of Canada.

Professional Membership

We renewed membership of the Benefits and Work Organisation so we can provide our members with up-to-date resources for benefits and welfare applications. We remain affiliated to the North Herts Centre for Voluntary Services to benefit from their advice on grant applications and volunteers.

Financial Review

Funding Sources

Our main income is through subscriptions and donations from members. This covers the ongoing costs of printing and postage of mailings to subscribers, along with general admin work to maintain the charity and its core services.

Donations

A total of £39,623.11 (£30,000 from Annabel Lucas legacy) was received throughout the year from individual donors. In addition, we received subscription fees, be it from members, friends and family of members, or members of the public.

In October 2023, Phil Davis donated £3000 to the charity and The Roger and Jean Jefcoate Trust donated £1000 in January 2024. Alison Neilson-Dow bequeathed us £2000 in her will and in February 2024, Patricia Murphy donated £1000 to the charity.

We received payment of £30,000 from the estate of Annabel Lucas, a former member. We are due a second payment of approximately £20,000 when the administration of the estate is complete and one trustee has been liaising with the legal team involved. However, for many legal reasons and delays due to the complexity of the estate, we are yet to receive this second payment.

Gift Aid

On 18th September 2024 we received £2,609.55 from the HMRC for Gift Aid, representing the Gift Aid due to the charity for the years 20/21, 21/22 and 22/23.

Activities Review

The charity continues to be based in its office in Hitchin which is rented on a quarterly basis. The office has been furnished using second-hand and donated furniture, and provides a useful hub in which staff, volunteers and trustees can work and meet. Some of the furniture from the previous office has been sold this year.

The resources page on our website was populated in 2024 with our most requested helpsheets. We began looking at the article section on the website and how we could post members stories to make it more relatable.

We have been working on updating help sheets and the website, re-organising cloud storage for our resources, and maintaining core services for members.

The manager has been completing a financial review of rental and subscription costs to the charity with the objective of saving some money in these areas.

Notable achievements this year

Volunteers

We are grateful to have several volunteers involved with the charity. The charity would like to have more volunteers, especially with web page support. Sarah Scott remains vital to the smooth running of the charity in her capacity of Special Advisor.

Plans for 2024-25

Our main priority continues to be securing funding for running costs and projects. It is vital the charity increases its reliable income stream, in order to continue over and above the irregular income received from one-off donations. We plan to receive an interim report from Integrated Fundraising Team and a final report to include details of the grants and trusts applied to on our behalf.

We want to make more information freely available on the website

Future priorities when funding becomes available key projects include:

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of MCS - Aware ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity’s accounts as 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.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

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 MCS - Aware 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Suite 15 Intech House Wilbury Way Hitchin Herts SG4 0TW

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 20 June 2025.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

MCS - Aware 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 notes.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Gift aid

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Page 12

MCS - Aware

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity 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 company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Current asset investments

Current asset investments are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value / market value.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
