## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). ## **Objectives and activities** The objectives are to promote and protect the physical and mental health of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. In particular, but not limited to the following: 1) to challenge existing mind-sets, shift attitudes and remove the hurdles that prevent the people with Parkinson’s from receiving early and appropriate treatment and individualised care; 2) to increase public and political awareness of Parkinson’s; 3) to help reduce stigma and remove discrimination against people with Parkinson’s. ## _Public benefit_ The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## **Achievements and performance** _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_ ## **Our New Four-Year Strategy (2025-2028)** In 2024, we were at the end of our previous (2019-2024) strategy window. Through evaluating all the data we had collected about the needs and wants of our stakeholders, we decided we needed a significant overhaul of the old strategy. The purpose was to really focus and deliver on what our stakeholders had told us they wanted. The new strategy development started in February 2024, but the collection and review of supporting data had been ongoing since 2022, and involved internal and external stakeholders from the Parkinson’s community. Our new fouryear strategy was launched in January 2025 and is available via our website in five languages **.** ## **World Parkinson’s Day 2024** Every year, World Parkinson’s Day (WPD) on 11 April provides us with a unique opportunity to capture the world’s attention with a far greater impact than usual. As founders of World Parkinson’s Day, we feel it’s our responsibility to lead the way, creating one of the biggest campaigns globally to create awareness and shine a spotlight on the needs of people with Parkinson’s – as well as supporting and amplifying our Member Organisations’ campaigns to a wider audience. We decided this year to create a campaign that would prolong this global impact far beyond WPD itself, using the day to launch a six-month campaign we called the Parkinson’s Summer of Sport. This campaign was about raising awareness of the benefits of exercise for people with Parkinson’s, helping people to find an exercise that’s right for them, and giving advice on overcoming exercise barriers. ## **Parkinson’s Engagement Network** Parkinson’s Europe recognised the need to reach more people across Europe in a strategic and constructive way, to share calls to action that would help us achieve our current and future strategic activities and support the many significant advancements for the Parkinson’s community that are continually taking place in different areas. Built with financial support from our partner IQVIA and launched in December 2023, the PEN is an online network designed to involve people from Europe (and beyond) in Parkinson’s-related activities. The PEN will help communicate better about Parkinson’s opportunities to people interested and help get more people involved. - 1 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ ## **Our Attendance at Events, Panels and Symposiums** Attending international events, congresses, panels and symposiums has always been a key priority for Parkinson’s Europe.

The new website allows our audience to benefit from: - much improved navigation, helping people to find the information they need quickly; - an interactive map for users to easily find Parkinson’s events, organisations and initiatives in their country; - a new and improved home for our online magazine Parkinson’s Life, with more regular articles, stories and podcasts; - an exclusive Members area filled with useful tools and resources for our Member Organisations. We have continued to add new features and updates to our website over the course of 2024. Results included: - 300,000 views since the site launched, including users from every European country; - a 91% engagement rate (which is a 57% increase on the old site); - hundreds of new pins added to our map, including 50 for World Parkinson’s Day covering 25 countries; - 80 new articles on Parkinson’s Life (an 80% increase on our pre-launch numbers), covering stories from 19 European countries (a 73% increase on last year). Our special thanks go to the following organisations who contributed to the funding of our new website: - Boston Scientific Foundation Europe - Bial - Britannia - Merz Therapeutics - Novartis - Roche - Servier - UCB ## **Our Increased Social Media Presence** In 2024, we wanted to build on our success from 2023, where we grew our social audience by 20%. This is necessary in order to reach more people with Parkinson’s who need help and information, to support our Member Organisations and partners in achieving a higher visibility, reach and impact – and to position Parkinson’s Europe as a fundamental part of the digital Parkinson’s community. - 2 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ Throughout the year, people with Parkinson’s and our Member Organisations provided moving, authentic and engaging stories for our campaigns and video content. Among others, we collaborated with artist Barbara Salsberg Mathews on her new book, What Parkinson’s Feels Like: we used social media and other channels to crowdsource contributions to the book, and we launched the book on our website and social media. It has had more than 600 downloads, and helped to raise thousands of pounds in charity donations. We also worked with our treatment industry partners on important awareness campaigns on topics such as DBS surgery, OFF periods, and Parkinson’s care pathways. ## **Our Enhanced Newsletter** Our 2024 communications strategy has seen us growing our audience and engagement across every channel. We achieved the following results regarding our email marketing: - We grew our general e-shot audience by 21% to over 4,100. - We increased our open rate by 5% to almost 49%. - We established a purpose-driven email campaign schedule, sending regular e-shots highlighting our core campaigns and top content. - We redesigned our email templates in line with our new branding. - We increased the visibility of our newsletter to expand our subscriber base – for instance adding a sign-up box on our website homepage, on relevant campaign landing pages, and on our LinkTree profile. ## **Members Outreach and Support** We have worked hard to support our Member Organisations in 2024, and are pleased to say we’ve shared a very productive year with all of them. A number of memorable events have been held by our members this year, and we have been proud to play a part in supporting them in different ways: - Parkinson Italia’s Parkinson's disease – strategies for the future event took place in Rome, in March. - We introduced our industry partner IQVIA to national Parkinson’s organisations in Nordic countries at the start of the year. - In autumn, we supported events such as Parkinson’s UK’s 2-day Par-Con and France Parkinson’s first Parlons Recherche event, promoting the events across our website, member e-shots and social media platforms. - We also made a donation to Društvo Trepetlika, helping the Slovenian organisation host the Ping Pong Parkinson World Championship in Laško in October. - Strategic Director Amelia Hursey was able to host some members for a networking dinner at the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders (MDS), Philadelphia, USA, in September. Parkinson’s Europe was pleased to welcome two new member organisations this year: - PAR.KIN.S.O.N. (Greece) - the Catalan Parkinson’s Association (Spain) A new benefit of membership introduced in 2024 is an interview on Parkinson’s Life, allowing new member organisations to introduce themselves, tell the story of their organisation, and share their work with the wider European Parkinson’s community. Examples include our interviews with PAR.KIN.S.O.N., the Catalan Parkinson’s Association and Cure4Parkinson in Denmark. Finally, an exclusive members-only section launched on our new website in the spring. Members can now log in to access advocacy toolkits, exclusive travel discounts and more, and we will be adding some exciting new developments to this area in 2025. - 3 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ ## **Collaboration with the Treatment Industry** Parkinson’s Europe has a 30-year history of positive and fruitful collaboration with the treatment industry – a key stakeholder in the Parkinson’s community and a key player in the development of new treatments – and hopefully a cure – for Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s Europe would like to sincerely thank the following treatment industry partners for providing funding and support to our activities in 2024: - Abbott - AbbVie - Bial - Biogen - Boston Scientific - Britannia Pharmaceuticals - Centogene - Charco Neurotech - ConvaTec - Esteve - Insightec - IQVIA - Lundbeck - Medtronic - Merz - Nordic InfuCare - Novartis - Parexel - Roche - Servier - UCB - Zambon ## **Working Group on Device-Assisted Therapies** In 2024, the group worked together to develop a knowledge-sharing resource aimed at people with Parkinson’s and their families to increase their awareness of DATs and empower them to discuss these therapy options with healthcare professionals. All members of the working group contributed their knowledge, expertise and available materials. An initial draft of this knowledge-sharing resource was developed in 2024, and will be launched in the first half of 2025. ## **Online Campaign on Deep Brain Stimulation and Surgery** In 2024, we invited the three main DBS industry companies (Abbott, Boston Scientific and Medtronic) to support an online multimedia, multi-language campaign aimed an honest, comprehensive and clear picture of the main aspects to take into account when considering DBS surgery – demystifying common fears and misconceptions but also objectively considering common challenges and critical aspects, with the goal to empower people with Parkinson’s to discuss these topics with healthcare professionals and make more informed treatment choices. In 2024, as part of the campaign we developed: - a Parkinson’s Life article: - published in five languages - achieved more than 95,000 views - a set of social media infographics - published in five languages - achieved nearly 8 million impressions and nearly 30,000 engagements - a Parkinson’s life podcast episode - achieved more than 600 downloads by the end of the year. - 4 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ The campaign assets were published and disseminated via our website, newsletter and social media channels, and supported via paid promotion. Nearly 8 million impressions and a very high engagement rate make this the most successful Parkinson’s Europe campaign so far. The campaign will continue in 2025 with the production of video testimonies, a social media quiz and a webinar. ## **Online Campaign on Parkinson’s OFF Periods** OFF periods are among the most important symptoms of Parkinson’s, affecting the majority of people living with the condition and significantly impacting people’s wellbeing and social life – as well as those of their family members and caregivers. In late 2023 and early 2024, we launched an online awareness campaign supported by our industry partner Bial, aimed at raising awareness of the impact of Parkinson’s OFF periods, informing people about how to recognise and anticipate them, as well as about available treatment options. As part of this campaign, we developed: - a Parkinson’s Life article - a set of social media infographics - a set of video testimonials The campaign was very successful, with nearly 250,000 impressions and a very high engagement rate. In 2024, we invited our industry partner companies Bial and Esteve to support an extension of the campaign, with the goal of translating the campaign content into several languages and further disseminating it to a broader European audience. The translated campaign assets were developed in 2024 and will be launched and disseminated in 2025. ## **Information and Awareness about Disease-Modifying Therapies** In 2024, Parkinson’s Europe worked with our industry partners UCB and Novartis around the development of an information and awareness campaign about DMTs. By being involved in several advisory boards and review activities (which involved other important international stakeholders such as Parkinson’s UK and the Michael J Fox Foundation), we contributed extensively to the development of a clear and consistent narrative and set of main messages on the This important information will be translated and disseminated to the Parkinson’s community, with the involvement of national Parkinson’s organisations, as part of a multi-media awareness campaign in 2025. ## **Addressing Barriers to Care for People with Advanced Parkinson’s – Call to Action** In January 2024, Parkinson’s Europe and our industry partner AbbVie co-hosted a roundtable on the topic of care pathways for people with advanced Parkinson’s. Expert panelists from different European countries – movement disorder specialists, nurses, researchers, people with Parkinson’s and representatives of Parkinson’s organisations – gave insights about barriers and best practices around care pathways for advanced Parkinson’s, highlighting gaps and common areas for improvement and identifying possible solutions. The main findings of this roundtable were published into a report and an infographic. Following the success of the roundtable, we have been working with AbbVie and other important stakeholders (the European Federation of Neurological Association, EFNA, and the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society European Section, MDS-ES) in the development of a joint call to action aimed at European policymakers – calling for a commitment to improving healthcare services for people with Parkinson’s and a pledge to make progress in the following three key areas: - the recruitment and retention of essential healthcare workforce - the formalisation of neurodegenerative nurses in healthcare systems - access to innovation to optimise healthcare resources. The call to action was launched on 29 November 2024 (World Movement Disorders Day), and endorsed by 11 European Parkinson’s organisations. In 2025, we will work on a series of awareness activities to leverage this call to action and call for better healthcare for people with Parkinson’s in Europe. - 5 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ ## **Financial review** During the year under review there was a increase of £73,170 (2023: decrease of £53,031) on unrestricted funds and decrease of £10,060 (2023: introduced £87.281) on restricted funds. ## _Going concern_ At the time of approving the financial statements, 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. The Charity’s reserve policy is to hold reserves only to cover a period of 4 months administration costs. No additional reserves are intended to be held. ## _Reserves policy_ It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 4 month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. ## **Structure, governance and management** The charity was established by a charitable trust deed on 25th April 1998 in Belgium and registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in the UK on 19th August 2015. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: G Boyle J M M Domingos P Perez Librero (Resigned 9 May 2024) C P Likar A Moretti T Shaish (Resigned 26 June 2024) A S Butler B J Magennis K Wouters J Sinclair (Appointed 26 June 2024) E Ildal (Appointed 26 June 2024) C Molohan (Appointed 26 June 2024) C Bale (Appointed 26 June 2024) The following individuals were observer trustees during the period: C Bale (elected in June 2024) E Ildal (elected in June 2024 C Molohan (elected in June 2024) J Sinclair (elected in June 2024) The following individuals retired during the period: P Pérez Librero (retired in April 2024) T Shaish (retired in June 2024) - 6 - # **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees. ..............................

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (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** Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales., which is one of the listed bodies. 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 386 of the 2006 Act; or - 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or - 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or - 4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. ## **Louise Hallsworth, FCA** Baxter & Co Chartered Accountants Lynwood House, Crofton Road Orpington Kent BR6 8QE 20 June 2025 Dated: ......................... - 8 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ |**Current financial year**

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 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 principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, 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 or grantors 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. ## **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 recognised 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 at the time of the donation. - 12 - **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **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 are apportioned 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. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. ## **1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill** Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity. Amortisation 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: Website not amortised until completed ## **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 (if any). During the current and prior year there is no overdraft facility has been used on Parkinson's Europe's bank accounts. ## **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. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price. - 13 - **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods 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. ## **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. ## **1.12 Foreign exchange** Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss. ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 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. ## **3 Income from donations and legacies** ||**Unrestricted**|**Unrestricted**| |---|---|---| ||**funds**|**funds**| ||**2024**|**2023**| ||**£**|**£**| |Donations and gifts|6,484|3,718| |Membership fees|22,382|20,416| ||28,866|24,134| - 14 - ## **PARKINSON'S EUROPE (FORMERLY EUROPEAN PARKINSON'S DISEASE ASSOCIATION) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ ## **4 Income from charitable activities** |**Unrestricted**
