About Us
Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK Ltd aims to prevent deaths from blood cancer through more effective treatments in the future. We are willing to fight blood cancer regardless of how long it might take.
Founded in 2015, our mission is to prevent people dying from blood cancer through prevention, research and more effective treatment.
Unfortunately, blood cancer affects a large number of people. Every 13 minutes, someone in the UK is told they have a blood cancer. That’s around 110 people per day, 40,000 people per year. There are an estimated 4,700 leukaemia deaths every year, that’s 13 every day!
We are aiming to become the UK’s leading charity in supporting efforts to combat the three major types of blood cancer. The work we do helps fund vital stem cell research, raises awareness of stem cell therapies and helps families protect their children’s future health by storing their cord blood stem cells at the time of birth.
There are 3 main types of cancers of the blood; they are lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma.
The blood is made up of three different types of cells:
-
[Red blood cells which carry]
-
the oxygen around the body •[White blood cells which fight]
-
and stop infections
•[Platelets which help the] blood to clot
•[Raising awareness of stem] cell therapies
The course of treatment given will depend on the type of cancer. The most common treatments are chemotherapy, radiotherapy and in some instances, a stem cell transplant.
•[Provide information] about blood cancers and treatment options
•[Protecting the vulnerable by] offering qualifying expectant mothers, with a family history of cancer, the opportunity to store their baby’s umbilical cord blood stem cells at the time of birth, in case they are needed in the future to treat that child or another member of the family if they are a suitable match.
Leukaemia and Myeloma Research UK Ltd want to eradicate blood cancer once and for all. One of the ways we are aiming to achieve this is through advancing our understanding of stem cells and how we can use them to treat patients with blood cancer, particularly through stem cell transplants. We do

Stem Cells
In humans, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues.
Adult stem cells are the primary focus of the research that the Charity supports. They typically generate the cell types of the tissue in which they reside.
For example, a blood-forming adult stem cell in the bone marrow normally gives rise to the many types of blood cells. It is generally accepted that a blood-forming cell in the bone marrow—which is called a hematopoietic stem cell— cannot give rise to the cells of a very different tissue, such as nerve cells in the brain.
Where are stem cells found?
There are four known accessible sources of autologous adult stem cells in humans:
•[Bone marrow which requires ] harvesting by drilling into bone (typically the femur or iliac crest). This is done under a general anesthetic.
•[Blood, which requires ] extraction through apheresis, wherein blood is drawn from the donor (similar to a blood donation), and passed through a machine that extracts the stem cells and then returns the blood to the donor.
•[Adipose tissue (lipid cells), ] which requires extraction by liposuction.
•[Umbilical cord blood - these ] stem cells can be collected from the umbilical cord blood just after birth.
cell anaemia and aplastic anaemia.
For most types of blood cancers, for example: leukaemia, lymphoma and various anaemia’s, the treatments use allogeneic stem cell transplants (someone else’s stem cells). The reason for this is that the person may have a genetic predisposition to the disease; their genes have a defect that predisposes them to that disease.
What can stem cells be used for today?
There are treatments where Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants (HSCT) - the transplantation of blood forming stem cells - is a standard treatment. For some diseases they are the only therapy, and in other diseases they are only employed when front-line therapies have failed or the disease is very aggressive.
However there are various types of cancers (some myelomas, plasma cell leukaemia, some anaemia’s and solid tumours) that are treated using autologous stem cells (using your own stem cells).
There are other blood disorders that can be treated with stem cells that aren’t cancers, such as sickle

Charitable Activities
Providing Information
Throughout the year we have shared facts about blood cancer, including the signs, symptoms and treatments. This has been achieved through our regular newsletter, social media channels, website, and our blood cancer booklet. This provides patients with clear and informative advice that would answer their questions, explain terminology, discuss treatments so they are better prepared and able to make informed choices.
We produce a monthly newsletter that shines a spotlight on our inspirational fundraisers and their stories; highlights our exciting plans for the future and provides information relating to blood cancer. It is available from our website free of charge.
Medical Research
Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK Ltd allocate research grants to those who uphold our primary objectives. These are to benefit the public, in particular by research into the nature, causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure of leukaemia and myeloma. Our current funding priorities are to advance understanding of stem cells and how they can be used to treat blood cancer patients. All grant applications are reviewed by the Charity’s
In conjunction with this, our fundraisers have been busy from running marathons, to organising golf days and completing sponsored bike rides. This has secured an amazing £88,766 of funding to support our services and help in the fight against cancer.
Research and Review
Committee, an independent panel of experts. The Charity is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities, the AMRC.
Fundraising Activities
Over the last year, the Charity expanded its textile recycling project so it now includes local schools and nurseries based in the Merseyside and Greater Manchester areas. This is with the aim of raising awareness of both blood cancer and of the environmental benefits of recycling. It also continues to raise valuable funds for the charities work.
Model Cell Biobank Service This service was established to support families who are on low income, have a history of cancer in the family, to store their babies cord blood stem cells at the time of birth. These cells are stored for 25 years in case that child, or another member of the family, needs them in the future to treat a disease.
The cord blood stem cells can be used today instead of bone marrow stem cells to treat blood cancer and genetic disorders. In fact, recent studies show that over 80 diseases could be treated using cord blood stem cells.

Chairman’s Report
We started this busy year by participating in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Awareness day, raising awareness about this rare form of cancer and the symptoms and treatments. We have also actively taken part in national awareness days including, Blood Cancer Awareness Month in September, World Cord Blood Day in November, and Myeloma Awareness Month in March. We have shared key facts and statistics, as well as stories from people directly impacted by blood cancer.
Our biggest awareness campaign is Blood Cancer Awareness Month in September. This year we produced a video sharing information about blood cancer to educate the charity’s audience. We also shared 2 blood cancer patients stories highlighting the symptoms they first experienced, their diagnosis treatment and support they received. In July, our Research Review
Committee met and awarded grants for 2 research projects, one investigating why some patients relapse after chemotherapy and the other looking at improving the efficiency of treatment for blood cancers.
The Charity funded research in 2022 that has now led to a five-year Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship. The funding allows the researchers at the University of Oxford to continue the work and widen its investigations, with the potential to assist patients with other forms of cancer as well as AML. We are very proud to have been able to fund the initial work and to know that the continued work may have the potential to assist patients with other forms of cancer as well as AML.
At the beginning of April 2024 we launched the Sammy Project which aims to raise funds and awareness of our work whilst giving a second
life to preloved clothing donated by the community. We have been working with schools, nurseries, dance schools and Scouts across the North West.
In 2025 the Charity turned 10. It has been fantastic to be able to review and reflect on the work that we have done as a Charity over the past 10 years. None of the work would be possible without the staff, volunteers and our incredible fundraisers. I would like to say a huge thank you to each and every one of them. Without them, we couldn’t continue to offer the services that we do and fight blood cancer.

Operation Director’s Report
Each year we receive fantastic support from our wonderful fundraisers. Around of 33% of the charity’s funding comes from individual donations and fundraising events, highlighting the reliance on the generosity of supporters. From marathons and golf matches to sponsored walks, there has been a variety of fantastic fundraising events to celebrate. A few highlights from the year are below.
In May, two sisters ran the Hackney half marathon in memory of their grandad. They raised an amazing £5,000 towards our research programme.
Hairdressing salon owner Rebecca Caraccio, from Whitstable, Kent, wanted to help others affected by the disease following the death of her 52-year-old brother, Michael Ingham. She raised just over £2,000 by running a half-marathon.
At the beginning of the year Kevin Pluck, a keen golfer, took over the captaincy of the Kingsway Golf Centre in Cambridge, pledged to run a series of events throughout the year on behalf of LMRUK. Kevin lost both his parents to blood cancer, he explained: “I was 11 years old when my father was diagnosed and was given just months to live...when you’re a child your father is your idol, so it was pretty traumatic to be told he wouldn’t be around for long.” Throughout the year he raised over £2,100 which is fantastic.
Another amazing runner is Rachel Handley who ran 10k following her mother’s myeloma diagnosis. Or Jacob Riley and his girlfriend Lydia Heaton, who raised more than £1,500 after completing a 10k sponsored run following a blood cancer diagnosis for Jacob’s sister.
Wendy Forrest has taken part in her second Kiltwalk to raise money for our charity in memory of her husband, Alan. Wendy and five friends braved one of the hottest days of the year for the picturesque 20 mile walk from St Andrew’s
to Slessor Gardens, Dundee. To date they have collected at least £2,225 for LMRUK.
A couple embarked on a gruelling challenge to complete 100 miles in a month to raise money for LMRUK – after one of their parents was diagnosed with life-threatening Multiple Myeloma. Jonny Turner and Nichola Harrower from Wigan walked, ran and cycled to clock up the 100 miles all within a month during the summer and collected an impressive £1,310 in sponsorship money. “We read the fundraising stories on the website, ” Nichola said. “It saddened us to learn that LMRUK does not receive any government funding and so we decided a fundraising event would be an excellent place to start.”

Staff, governors and parents from a primary school in County Durham have raised over £1,000 for LMRUK with a 13-mile sponsored walk after their Deputy Head was diagnosed with leukaemia.
We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of fundraisers and to those who make donations to the charity in memory of loved ones. Thank you so much for your wonderful support!
In November, 4 friends successfully completed a 13-mile walk in memory of a colleague who passed away from a rare type of blood cancer securing over £1,800 towards our work.
Our fundraisers of the year were announced in December, for the 2nd time the restaurant founders Elaine and Peter Kinsella won the award having raised over £23,000 in total for our Charity.

MCB Service
Overview
The Model Cell Biobank (MCB) service allows the storage of a child’s umbilical cord blood stem cells at the time of birth, in case they or another member of the family needs them in the future to help in the treatment of a disease. It may be possible to use the stem cells to treat blood cancers or in emerging therapies to treat diseases such as diabetes, cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s disease. Clinical trials are being performed all over the world looking at the potential use of stem cells to treat new diseases and hopefully further breakthroughs.
When a baby is born and the umbilical cord is cut, the placenta and umbilical cord are normally thrown away. The blood that remains in the cord and the placenta contains stem cells. The Charity offers a service to collect these stem cells without any risk to the mother and baby, and to store them in case that child or another member of the family needs them in the future.
The cord blood stem cells are stored on behalf of the child for 25 years. The mother is the legal guardian of the cells until the child reaches the age of majority, at which point, ownership transfers to the child. After 25 years, the cells can be privately stored, donated for research, offered to a public bank, or destroyed. Consent from the child will be sought at this point and we would strongly encourage the donation of any remaining cells to public banks.
We now offer a fully funded cord blood banking service to families who are on universal credit, with a history of cancer in the family.
Alongside this, we also offer a part funded service to low income families.
Smart Cells Technical is our chosen partner to procure; process and store cord stem cells under its Human Tissue Authority licence. Smart Cells has a strong reputation for the high standards it applies
to the storage and processing of stem cells derived from umbilical cord and peripheral blood, bone marrow, now extending to many types of tissues for human application or transplant.
Smart Cells not only works to the highest standards, it also has an ethical approach, which aligns with our charity, something we are proud of.

Advantages of Cord Blood Stem Cells
Today, cord blood banking is changing lives and there have already been more than one million stem cell transplants around the world since the 1980s.
The stem cells in your baby’s cord blood are fully developed adult stem cells, which are the building blocks of the blood immune system. These stem cells can be used instead of bone marrow stem cells to treat blood cancers and genetic disorders.
•[A new born baby has been] exposed to fewer viruses and infections and so the stem cells are less likely to transmit infection and react with the patient;
•[Cord blood stem cells offer] the life-saving option of a transplant and avoids the invasive, painful and expensive procedures of other stem-cell collection, such as bone marrow;
•[Cord blood stem cells can] be stored for many years - the longevity of these cells has proved they are as good 30 years later as on as the day they were first extracted and stored.
Cord blood stem cells have many advantages including:
•[They are easily available,] having already been harvested and stored;
Feedback from Clients
“I would really recommend storing stem cells from the umbilical cord blood to others. To use the service you have to have a history of cancer. It gives you a plan B should someone fall ill - and you never know what might happen in the future.”
“Its like having a second plan in place if something should go wrong - an extra protection
against ill-health. The procedure was very straight-forward and I would recommend it to others.”
We didn’t know anything about the procedure but having a friend die from Leukaemia and another diagnosed when I was pregnant, made me more aware and I found out about what was involved.”
“I really don’t know why we aren’t storing babies’ stem cells as a matter of course - it seems such a simple yet important thing to do.”
“The team at LMRUK were so helpful and knowledgeable - they talked me through the whole process...they made the process straightforward from start to finish.”

Donate Clothes to Samm y
The Sammy Project was launched in April 2024 with the aim generating additional income to support the mission and causes of LMRUK charity, and to raise awareness of our work.
The goal of the project is to raise extra funds by giving a second life to preloved clothing donated by the community via local schools, community centres, nurseries and other establishments.
Our recycling programme secures valuable funds for the charities projects fighting blood cancer and raising awareness of our work. It also promotes re-use and recycling and encourages sustainable practices.
According to The Times, British consumers spent £12.5 billion on clothing. The rising trend of “disposable” fashion has led to the dumping of 300,000 tonnes of textiles, exacerbating environmental pollution. Without significant changes in clothing production, usage, and disposal practices, projections suggest that global textile waste could reach 134 million tonnes by 2030.
Due to the success of the project in the North West, we are planning to expand our services in West Yorkshire and Shropshire areas.
We have had fantastic engagement from primary school and nurseries. The largest bag collection since the launch was from Farmworth Primary School with a total of 857kg, closely followed by Park View Primary school with 724kg, and St Bridget’s Primary school with 645kg. Thats 2.2 tonnes save from land fill!
The project is managed entirely by the charity’s team without involving commercial companies, ensuring that 100% of the proceeds go directly to the charity.

Research Priorities
Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK Ltd offer research grants to those who uphold our primary objectives: to protect and promote the health of the public, in particular by research into the nature, causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure of leukaemia and myeloma.
The Trustees funding priorities are to advance understanding of stem cells and how they can be used to treat blood cancer patients, particularly through stem cell transplants.
In 2024-2025, to mark World Cancer Research day, LMRUK were pleased to have awarded £63,000 in grant funding to support two vital blood cancer projects.
Assistant Professor Sophie Kellaway at the University of Nottingham will be undertaking specialist research into the regrowth of cells that cause the cancer, and whether they can be neutralised with the use of two drugs already available to treat conditions to help prevent the return of blood cancers.
Professor Cristina Lo Celso and her PhD student Dr Germaine Chia of Imperial College London will be conducting a two year project that aims to improve the efficiency of treatment for blood cancers and reduce its toxicity.

Fundraisin and Volunteers g
Founders of Lunya restaurant and deli, Elaine and Peter Kinsella have been named as our Fundraisers of the Year for their incredible work on behalf of our charity
This is the second time that the duo has been named winners of the award, after jointly receiving the title in 2022.
Elaine has been an innovator in finding new and effective ways to raise funds for our charity, enlisting the support of customers in the couple’s Liverpool restaurants to contribute to the cost of research into blood cancers.
She and Peter, together with all their staff, raised £15,000 for LMRUK in 2022 by inviting customers of the Lunya and Lunyalita restaurants to add a pound to their bill every time they ate there. The initiative raised £7,500, generously matched by the couple themselves, making a total of £15,000.
The success of the scheme prompted them to keep going, adding a further £7,657 to the pot, which was presented to our charity earlier this year.
Elaine’s fundraising journey began after she was diagnosed with Myeloma following a routine blood test in 2021.
She underwent initial treatment, then had a stem cell transplant in October of that year and came up with the fundraising idea while in recovery.
Elaine said: “Peter and I are really happy to have been given this recognition for raising funds for such a good cause. I am currently
receiving second line treatment for Myeloma and so have personal experience of how challenging a blood cancer diagnosis can be, but I am convinced that research into developing more treatments is the best way forward – this gives me hope for the future.
“We could not have raised the money we have without the help of our wonderful customers at the two restaurants. It has been a real
team effort with all our staff and very fitting in the year that our business became an Employee Owned Trust.”
Dr Joanna Tilley, Operations Director at LMRUK, said that the award was in recognition of the money raised by Elaine – and the creative ways she had found to bring in funding for the charity.
She added: “Elaine is a star. Fundraising is challenging in the current economic climate with household
budgets tight. To get this kind of support from Elaine, her husband, staff, and their restaurant customers is a real boost for LMRUK and we are so grateful for their efforts.”
This is just one of the many fantastic fundraisers that have kindly supported LMRUK over the past year - we simply could not run these services without them!
Many thanks!

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025
Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2025 .
Overall surplus stands at £243,340 and will be distributed in the following way: £150,000 for Reserves, £25,000 for Research Grants, and £68,340 for charity development, including MCB, e- shop, and the Donate Clothes 4 Sammy project.
The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory.
Policies on reserves.
The trustees collectively aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds within a range equivalent to twelve months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. This targeted level is deemed essential by the trustees to ensure an adequate financial cushion for covering support and governance costs. The Reserves Policy will undergo an annual review, aligning with the scrutiny of the charity's annual accounts.
In light of the events of the past year, marked by a significant surge in inflation, escalating living costs, and an increased risk of economic downturn, the trustees have determined that a prudent Reserves amount must be set at £150,000.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025
Statement of the Directors' and Trustees' Responsibilities
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .
In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 9 to 36 for the year ended 31 March 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 17.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report
As described on page 5, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken
Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000, the charitable company's examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am an authorised member of Chartered Certified Accountants , which is one of the listed bodies.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the 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 Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
1 Accounting policies
Policies relating to the production of the accounts.
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
Going Concern
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.
Nature of income
Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.
Categories of Income
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.
Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
Income recognition
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.
15
Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK Ltd
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Income from legacies
Income from legacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be received by the charity, and the amount to be received can be estimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Where a payment is received from an estate or is notified as receivable by the executors after the reporting date and before the accounts are authorised for issue but it is clear that the payment had been agreed by the executors prior to the end of the reporting period, then the amount concerned is treated as an adjusting event and accrued as income in the accounting period if receipt is probable.
Where the charity has established entitlement to a legacy but there is uncertainty as to the amount of the payment, details of the legacy aredisclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met. Where a legacy is subject to the interest of a life tenant, the legacy is not recognised as income until the death of the life tenant.
If it is doubtful that full settlement of a legacy debtor will be received, then an adjustment is made to reduce the amount of the legacy debtor and legacy income rather than charging the adjustment as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities
Donated goods, facilities and services
Donated fixed assets are recognised at the current fair value. All such donations are recognised as donation income, and debited to fixed assets.
Donated goods that are not fixed assets are accounted for at a fair value, unless it is impractical to reliably measure the value of the donated items.
In the absence of any direct evidence of fair value of donated goods, then a value is derived from the cost of the item to the donor or, in the case of goods that are expected to be sold, the estimated resale value after deducting any anticipated costs of sales.
If it is impracticable to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale, or the costs of valuation outweigh the benefits, the donated goods are recognised as income when sold, with an equivalent amount being recognised as an expense.
The costs of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those goods upon receipt. When the goods are distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is adjusted at the time of sale, to the value at the point of distribution and the adjustment is shown as a cost of donations made.
The carrying amount of any stock held for distribution is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. All donated goods are recognised as donation income, and debited to trading stock.When trading stock is subsequently sold, or appropriated to meet an expense, then the carrying value of the stock is recognised as an expense. In accordance with the SORP, goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries, or for consumption by the charity are included in 'legacies and donations '. Goods donated for resale are included in 'Income from other trading activities'
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt. If the goods held are to be distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to reflect the lower of deemed cost adjusted for any loss of service potential and replacement cost. Replacement cost is the economic cost incurred if the charity was to replace the service potential of the donated goods at its own expense in the most economic manner.
Donated services and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.
All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,(provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Allocating costs to activities
Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.
The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-
Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity.
Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.
Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures
Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Accounting for capital grants and fixed asset funds.
Gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature, given for the purposes of acquiring specific assets to be fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity, are credited to fixed asset funds after the donated asset has been received or sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose.
Where the terms of the gift require the charity to hold the asset on an ongoing basis for a specific purpose, then the fixed asset fund so created is categorised as a restricted fixed asset fund, and the relevant restrictions are noted in the fixed asset note 6.
Where the terms of the gift are met once the asset is acquired, so allowing the charity to use the asset on an unrestricted basis, including the right to receive the proceeds of any future sale of the asset on an unrestricted basis, then the fixed asset fund so created is categorised as a designated fixed asset fund.
When assets are acquired for the furtherance of the charity's objects, utilising the charity's own unrestricted funds, a transfer is made from unrestricted funds to a designated fixed asset fund.
Whether acquired with unrestricted or restricted funds, the asset acquired is initially shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.
As the related assets are depreciated, in accordance with the depreciation policy,in order to reflect the dimunition in the asset,a transfer is made from the relevant fixed asset funds to either unrestricted or restricted revenue funds, as appropriate to the terms of the original gift, if any.
The effect of this policy is that the aggregate of all fixed asset funds shall equate to the net book value of fixed assets.
In the first year that this policy was adopted, a transfer to fixed asset funds was made equivalent to the net book value of the assets.
Any residual liability to the donor arising from, for example, the asset's future sale, is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the event that would trigger repayment of the grant becomes probable in which case a liability for repayment is recognised.
Insofar as this policy relates to Government grants and to the extent that it may be a departure from the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), such departure is justified on the basis that it is in order to comply with the SORP.
Stocks and work in progress
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Creditors and provisions
Liabilities are measured at their settlement amount. A liability is recognised for the the amount the Charity anticpates it will pay to settle the deb or the amount it has received as an advance payment for goods or services it must provide.
Financial instruments including cash and bank balances
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
There are no endowment funds.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
4 Defined contribution pension schemes
Any liabilites and assets associated with the scheme are shown under debtors and creditors.
