REPORT OF THE TRusfEES
For the year ended 31 July 2025
The Trustees present their ￿port for the purFK)ses of the Charities Act 2011 for the year ended 31 July
2025.
TRUSTEES
The Trustees who served during the year, and who have resigned or been appointed, are named on
page l.
OBJEcfIvES AND AcrIvrrIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's aim and objective are to advance education of the public in the subject of Erb's Palsy,
particularly by the provision of information and guidance to those living with Erb's Palsy (and their
families) to assist them to achieve their physical, intellectual, emotional and social potential. The
activities include making grants to individuals, providing human resources, advocacy, advice and
information.
Public Benefit
The public benefits of the charity are raising awareness of Erb's Palsy. The public benefits directly
relate to the charity's key objectives. No detriment or harm arises from the charity providing the
public benefits.
In shaping the objettives for the year and planning the charity's activities, the charity trustees have
referred to the guidance contained in the Charity commission's general guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the company's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Charitable activities
The Charity has had a busy year this year with around 20 new people signing up for registered
membership of the organisation. Whilst as pleasing as this is for the Charity it does mean that there
are still babies being injured during delivery and we have much work to do in terms of reducing the
incidence rate of injury.
Our awareness week was very busy With hundreds of fatts and information around the organisation
being shared on all social media channels. This has helped increase our following on a range of
platforms and this area is one we will continue to pursue in order that we are able to reach people
who may not yet know about the Charity.
The Trustees held our first Multi-Disciplinary Team Training event in May. Over 60 Health Care
Professionals from a range of professions joined us for this change of format event.

ERB'S PALSY GROUP
REPORT OF THE TRusfEES (continued)
For the year ended 31 July 2025
We had a mixture of Midwives, Midwifery Students, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and
Legal Expert witnesses at the event. The rnorning was dedicated to Lived Experiences expertly
presented by our adult members with the disability and parent of children with Erb's Palsy, as ever
these presentstions had a profound effect on the delegates and there was much discussion during
the coffee and lunch breaks about them. The afternoon presentations were split by discipline and
as ever our colleagues from NHS England shared their expertise with delegates, via presentations
and question and answer sessions. Feedback from delegates and speakers was helpful in identifying
areas which could be improved, with a surprising outcome that the Therapist amongst the delegates
would have liked some information about actual process of injury which results in the disability, so
this is an area we will be addressing for future events.
Three Trustees attended the Narakas Symposium in Turin, as well as meeting up with the leading
surgeons dealing with this disability, it was also a chance for the Family Support Groups to come
together and share expertise and areas of Good Prattice. on￿ again, we met up with colleagues
from the Netherlands and Germany as well as the USA.
For the first time in about 10 years there were also representstives from our close neighbours in the
Republic of Ireland. Many new studies were presented at the symposium, with research being
undertaken into genetics, late surgical interrfentions and as ever, ways to try for a better outcome
from early nerve surgery. The TrUSt￿S were delighted to be asked to attend the next symposium
which will be held in Paris in 2027 this invitation from the Congress organisers is the clearest
indication from Elite Surgeons that the role of Family Support is being tsken very seriously, with
them realising the impact of team work on the results of their work. This represents a huge step
forward since the first symposia our Trustees attended in 2004- when the Family Support members
were not even allowed in the room where the presentations were happening - progress at a snail's
pace - but progress none the less!
Our organisation has continued to collaborate with a range of external stskeholders, from Medical
stsff seeking support with studies, to students at Queen Mary's University London, who have
undertaken several projects around social media and Member engagement on our behalf. These
projects have been well researched and have given the Trustees guidelines by which we can raise
our presence digitally and gain and retain new contacts. We are grateful to our Trustee Tom
Spurway who has facilitated the projects betw&n the students and our Charity.
It only remains for me to thank my fellow Trustees. Jackie Dewdney, Kim Hawksby, Clair Hemming,
Trudi Hole, Stacey Prichard, Tom Spurway and Amy Swift for their help and support over the past
year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have examined the charitr¢s requirements for reserves and have established a policy that
unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to cover at least six months of the charity's unrestricted
expenditure. This has been achieved.
The financial results for the year are shown in the ststement of financial activities on page 7.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL sfATEMEKrs
for the year ended 31 July 2025
Accounting Policies
Charity information
ERB'S Palsy Group is a charitable incorporated organisation, whose principal address is shown
on page 3.
l. l Accounting convention
These accounts have b￿n prepared in accordan￿ with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting
Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" C'FRS 102'J, "Accounting and Repjrting
by Charib'es" the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities applying FRS 102, the
Charities Att 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applied from l January
2015. This is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts 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 Charib'es applying FRS 102 rather than the version of
the Statement of Recommended Practi￿, which is referred to in the Regulations, but which has
since been withdrawn.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency. The Monetary amounts
in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
The accounts have been prepared under the historiGal cost convention. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below:
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expettation that they
have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus,
they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the in furtherance of their charitable
objectives unless the fvnds have b￿n designed for other pu￿OseS.
Restritted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Charty is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions
have b￿n met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be
received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are reccrfjnised once the Charity has
b￿n notified of the donation unless performan￿ conditions require deferral of the amount.

ERB'S PALSY GROUP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL sfATEMEKrs
for the year ended 31 July 2025
Accounting Policies (Continued)
1.4 Incoming resoUr￿S (continued)
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or Deeds of Covenant is
recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has b￿n notified of an impending
distribub'on, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the
legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents
amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of
discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
1.5 Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that
aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or
construttive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will
be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the artivity for which expenditure arose.
Supwrt costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable
attivities and include office costs, govemance costs and other administrative costs. They are
incurred direcuy in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. All support costs have
b￿n allocated against the general charitable activity.
The analysis of these costs is induded in note 7.
1.6 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 thr& months or less and bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Financial instruments
The charity has eletted to apply the provisions of Settion 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and
Section 12 '0ther Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charivs balan￿ sheet when the charity becomes
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

ERB'S PALSY GROUP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL sfATEMEKrs
for the year ended 31 July 2025
Accounting Policies (Continued)
1.7 Financial instruments (Continued)
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.
Ba￿¢ financialassets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured
at transattion price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction,
where the transaction is measured at the present value of the fvture receipts discounted at a
market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not
amortised.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction
pri￿ unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is
measured at the present value of the futu￿ 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
methc(l.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for g(y)ds or services that have been acquired in the
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 transattion pri￿ and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognitson of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are
discharged or can￿lled.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charivs accounting policies, they are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sour￿. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying a55umptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates a￿ recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the
revision aff￿S only that period, or in the period of the revision and future peric(Is where the
revision affects both current and future periods.
