PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT TRUSTEE'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Overview

PEDS continues to deliver its pioneering nurse-led services that enable people suffering from deadly eating disorders to build a life to get well for, achieving a sustainable recovery.

Over the year, PEDS received over 500 referrals, a number that continues to rise as people young and old fall victim to illness that have the highest mortality rate in mental ill-health. A crucial part of this success has been through PEDS work to support University Students suffering or at highest risk of illness, who have been able to maintain their studies.

The trust built and effective collaboration with core NHS partners remains a fundamental strength of PEDS, where our ability to intervene early, quickly and effectively means that we reduce the pressure on the system and achieve better health outcomes for people across the East of England.

PEDS nurse led care helped people from all backgrounds, male, female, LGBTQ+, young and old, to access and receive help and guidance. Our education and prevention team actively targets schools, colleges and organisations including GP practices, to raise awareness and understanding of these illnesses and how to prevent them destroying people’s lives.

During 2024/25, PEDS expanded on its three strategic priorities: building on the strength of our NHS relationships, establishing The Barn as our dedicated centre, and strengthening development of our offer, including expansion of the Training and Education Programme.

The Barn enabled increased face-to-face delivery and community engagement. PEDS worked in partnership with Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) to deliver training across the county.

PEDS has worked closely with REDCAN (Regional Eating Disorder Charities and Alliance Network) over the past year to support its collaborations and strategic priorities with a number of shared initiatives to raise the profile of eating disorder awareness and equal access.

We have partnered with REDCAN member charity, CARALINE and plan to launch a joint ARFID 10 ‑ week program in January 2026.

‑ Looking ahead to 2025/26, we plan to launch a nurse led digital PEDS Manual and a customised Training and Education portal. We will also continue to expand service capacity and further strengthen and build on our university partnerships.

Objectives and Activities

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

The service objectives of the charity are:

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT TRUSTEE'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Objectives and Activites (continued)

NHS Partnerships

During 2024/2025, PEDS collaborated with NHS partners including:

PEDS has moved our Clinical Records Management System and fully implemented SystmOne which has strengthened clinical governance. This has enabled more robust and consistent activity reporting, supporting service planning and transparency. This has also strengthened our communications with the NHS, providing a seamless service for patients and a more effective way of joined up working and shared care.

Step-up and step-down pathways with CPFT AEDS and CAMHS ED have continued to ensure coordinated and timely clinical care. Liaison with GPs, Universities, and NHS teams have remained central to our early intervention model.

University Programme

PEDS maintained strong partnerships with Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Cambridge, enabling students to access early assessment and intervention. This work builds upon partnerships established in previous years and continues to grow in response to increasing student need. We continued to work closely with university wellbeing teams to ensure continuity of care and early identification of need, providing a training and consultation service as we all advocacy and front line care services to their students and families.

Access to Personalised Care and Support Programme

PEDS has continued to offer accessible early intervention throughout the year with our step up and stepdown programme with the NHS. The Barn has enabled flexible delivery, including expanded face-to-face sessions and community engagement. Virtual appointments via Microsoft Teams and Zoom continue to be an important part of our work and help us to engage service users. Many of our University students will opt in to explore help for their eating disorder, when historically, if only offering face to face, the Did Not Attend (DNA) rate was higher.

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT TRUSTEE'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Personalised Approach

PEDS and our service users continue to value the importance of a holistic and Personalised care approach whereby we are flexible to the needs of our community. Throughout the past year, the uptake of our home visits and visits to service users educational environments or workplaces, has increased. This demonstrates PEDS flexibility and customised care, which is dependent on the needs of people coming to us.

PEDS Advocacy Service

Engaging our service users at the earliest opportunity is so vital to our work and recovery and we over the past year, have developed a tailored and robust daily triage and advocacy service, employing a specific experienced triage and referrals nurse who carries out screening of referrals, many of whom are not only at the early intervention stage of their illness and requiring urgent help. With our comprehensive advocacy team, sufferers are supported to navigate services, with PEDS working closely with both GPs and secondary care NHS colleagues and where needed, the local hospitals. PEDS also ensures that anybody referring to us is supported to access help. An example this being a student who lives outside of Cambridgeshire and requires help near to home. With consent, PEDS liaises with the home GP, local NHS services such as the eating disorder team and the University wellbeing where appropriate.

Peer Support, Parent & Carer Programmes

PEDS has continued to deliver the New Maudsley parent and carer workshops, alongside our weekly parent support group.

A significant development this year was the establishment of a National Peer Support Group for Peer Support Workers, co-developed by our Peer Support Worker and CEO. These programmes remain essential to our personalised, holistic, Nurse-led model, supporting both individuals and families.

This past year has seen PEDS reflect on the service user weekly support group and following feedback from those using our services and those with lived experience, we have revised our programme and developed specific toolbox talks.

Achievements & Performance

Key achievements during 2024/25 included:

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Personalised Eating Disorder Support (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

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 applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts as 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 financial statements to be reached.

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Charity information

Personalised Eating Disorder Support is a charitable incorporated organisation.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities prepaing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principle accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

9

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recoginised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised once the claim has been made.

No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Grant income is recongised according to the terms of each individual agreement.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

IT Equipment 3 years straight line

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

10

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.9 Financial Instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangment constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets are classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligation to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee Benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due

11

PERSONALISED EATING DISORDER SUPPORT NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
