## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
The relief of sickness and preservation of good health among people affected by Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) in particular but not exclusively by: (a) providing information and support to such people and their families; (b) advancing education for the public benefit of the condition; (c) promoting, supporting and raising funds for research into the condition, the useful results of which will be disseminated for the public benefit.
## _**Public benefit**_
The charity carries out a range of activities in furtherance of its charitable objectives, as detailed under activities and achievements below. Having reviewed the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, the Trustees consider that these activities provide benefit both to the charity’s direct beneficiaries and to the wider public both in the UK and abroad.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Achievements and performance**
Over the past year the charity hosted an online BDD Conference in partnership with the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), bringing together leading clinicians from the UK and US alongside powerful lived experience speakers to share insights, treatment methods and options, research and recovery focused perspectives. During the year we also delivered an Autumn Webinar Series, offering a range of topics from expert clinicians and lived experience speakers that are now available as long-term online resources, free for our community to revisit whenever they need support or guidance.
This year saw the exciting re-launch of the Beating BDD Podcast, a podcast dedicated to community, connection and recovery. With support from the Big Give campaign, we now have funding to create 24 episodes across a two-year period.
We secured an additional three-year National Lottery grant of £142,037, providing continued delivery of our core services and strengthening our long-term impact. We continued to offer support via our email helpline, who responded to 1,436 requests for help and support. Our bi-monthly zoom support group welcomed 428 participants. The Overcoming BDD Programme successfully launched cycle 8, and this programme was expanded to three groups per cycle, enabling us to accept more participants onto the programme whilst reducing our waiting list. We welcomed three new trustees: Mike Pounsford, Holly Staunton and Louisa Cottrell. They bring a wealth of experience in communications, marketing, fundraising and charity governance. This has diversified the Board’s skillset, whilst bringing fresh passion and energy to drive our mission and vision forward.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Financial review**
During the 2024–2025 financial year, the charity continued to focus its resources on delivering support and raising awareness of Body Dysmorphic Disorder while maintaining careful financial stewardship. Total income for the year was £68,192, Although this was lower than budgeted due to an expected grant not being awarded during the year, the organisation was encouraged by the continued generosity of its supporters. Individual donations exceeded expectations, reaching £38,720, supported by strong online giving and a number of meaningful in memoriam contributions.
This generosity reflects the growing awareness of the charity’s work and the commitment of supporters who wish to see greater understanding and support for people affected by Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Other income streams were slightly lower than forecast as the organisation prioritised major grant applications during the year, with plans to renew focus on corporate partnerships and fundraising initiatives in the coming year.
Total expenditure was £95,828, with the majority invested directly in staffing and program delivery to ensure the charity could continue providing essential support, information and resources. Some additional overhead costs reflected advance payments for future fundraising events and activities that will support income generation in the years ahead.
The charity reported a deficit of £27,636 against budget. The organisation remains committed to strengthening its income base and directing resources towards improving the lives of those affected by Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
The resources entrusted to the charity during the year enabled us to continue supporting people affected by Body Dysmorphic Disorder and raising awareness of this often-misunderstood condition. Through our information resources, support services, and awareness activities, we were able to reach individuals and families seeking help, while continuing to advocate for greater understanding of BDD within the wider community.
We remain deeply grateful to our supporters, funders, volunteers and partners whose commitment makes this work possible. As awareness of Body Dysmorphic Disorder continues to grow, the charity remains focused on strengthening its financial sustainability so that it can expand its reach and provide support to even more people in need in the years ahead.
## _**Policy on reserves**_
The charity’s reserves policy states that, over time, unrestricted reserves should normally be maintained at a level equivalent to three to six months of forecast expenditure, unless the Board of Trustees determines that additional reserves are required under specific circumstances. Based on the 2024/25 budget, this equates to a target reserve level of approximately £23,000 to £46,000.
At the balance sheet date, the charity’s unrestricted reserves stood at £102,906, compared with £135,000 in the previous year. While this level is above the policy target range, the Trustees consider this appropriate given the charity’s continued reliance on grant funding and voluntary donations, which can be uncertain and variable.
As noted in the financial review, the charity has now reached a more stable operational footing. The Trustees anticipate that a portion of these reserves may be used to support ongoing activities and provide stability while the organisation develops and strengthens new income streams.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 10/09/2013 and most recently amended 28/09/2017.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
We assess skill gaps within the Board and then create appropriate job descriptions for an open recruitment process of trustees. This includes creating a recruitment pack covering an overview of the charity, overview of the role of a trustee, key skills and the experience we are looking for along with information on the application process. We shortlist the candidates based on a scoring criterion, to ensure the process minimises bias and remains transparent.
Short-listed candidates are taken to a panel interview, with set questions, and scoring criteria. The wider Board is informed of the successful candidate for final review. Upon Board approval, successful candidates are invited to a trustee meeting and officially voted onto the board subject to references and a DBS check. Formal documents, including the essential trustee guide are sent to new trustees as part of the onboarding process.

## **The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements 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; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation (the Charity) for the year ended 30 September 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **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 that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## **The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation 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.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
## _**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 aggregates 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.
Page 11
## **The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025 (continued)**
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **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.
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in 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.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

National Lottery Stronger together - See below, original ’Stronger Together’ grant. School Projects fund - The School’s Project is designed to provide educational professionals with the knowledge and skills to identify signs of BDD. This is an early intervention programme, aimed at supporting adolescents to access timely support for BDD, as we know that this is the common age of onset and causes significant disruption to education and social development.
The Big Give - Beating BDD Podcast - Beating BDD Podcast relaunched with funding going towards 24 new episodes, one a month for 2 years. The podcast provides hope and support for those struggling, reduces stigma, isolation and shame, and helps listeners navigate their own recovery journeys.
The National Lottery Community Fund - This is a continuation of the Stronger Together project that encompasses our 3 core support services: E-helpline, Zoom Support Group and Overcoming BDD Programme. It also covers the cost of video resources such as webinars and conference videos. We know that many in our community struggle to access the right support on the NHS, and we aim to guide them through the care pathway via our E-helpline, whilst offering a supportive space to be heard and understood through our zoom support groups and providing a step towards recovery through our Overcoming BDD Programme.
