Purpose of the charity

BEAT SCAD ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON THREE MISSION AREAS: 1) RAISING AWARENESS OF THE UNCOMMON AND UNDER-DIAGNOSED HEART CONDITION SPONTANEOUS CORONARY ARTERY DISSECTION (SCAD) BY SHARING UP TO DATE INFORMATION; 2) SUPPORTING PEOPLE AFFECTED BY SCAD THROUGH CONFERENCES, ORGANISED WALKS & SOCIAL MEDIA GROUPS; 3) RAISING FUNDS FOR RESEARCH TO UNDERSTAND THE CAUSE AND TO OPTIMIZE TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS.

Public benefit

The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on the public benefit requirement.

Acheivement and Performance

During this financial year, the charity continued to provide information and resources for those affected by SCAD, as well as healthcare professionals, via our website, leaflets, education events, videos and social media; and support those affected by SCAD via email, phone, social media and our Buddy Service.

We completed the process of updating our website, which is an important part of our strategy to raise awareness of SCAD, support patients and fundraise for more research. We continue to work with the web consultant to monitor website performance and analytics as well as updating and improving content.

The trustees are very grateful to all the volunteers and supporters who contributed time and money to support the charity.

Several events were held by the charity and supporters to raise £70,153 (2023: £70,749, adjusted).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Several events were held by the charity and supporters to raise £70,153 (2023:£70,749, adjusted). The Charity donated £17,478 to the Leicester SCAD Research group in 2024 (2023:£0).

Beat SCAD is committed to supporting research into SCAD and in 2022/2023 we awarded £204,624 for a clinical research fellow appointed for three years who started in February 2024. This year we paid £17,478, with the remainder to be paid in instalments in 2025 and 2026.

It is the policy of the trustees to keep reserves sufficient to cover 6 months of general running costs. The trustees expect the charity to continue as a going concern.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or Offsetting permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income Grants and donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period

Government grants The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift donations and gifts and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or performance related services or met the performance related conditions. grants Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

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 and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described Volunteer help in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable royalties and dividends can be measured reliably. Income from membership Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations subscriptions and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other claims income in the SoFA. Investment gains and This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and

Investment gains and s c udes a y ea sed o u ea sed ga s o osses o t e sa e o est e ts a d losses any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of
the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their
usage.
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
Provisions for liabilities measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
Basic financial
instruments
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.

use by charity
They are valued at cost.

They are valued at cost.
Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable
progress value.

on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
Debtors settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they
are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash
Current asset equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash
investments equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet
