## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

During the period a number of aims were achieved: The website was updated for all topical information on the condition and fundraising events, and regular enews and biannual newsletters issued. Phone and email support provided to individuals and families of those with the condition. 

The pandemic curtailed any in-person events e.g., we had to postpone our planned 2[nd] ever Families Conference event. Fundraising events were significantly reduced. However, we utilised the opportunity to reach out digitally to our members, supporters and wider audience by introducing and/or attending virtual events. 

We utilised funding to take on an apprentice to help with our digital communications. 

## **Information Comics** 

We distributed r(20) information comics free of charge to over 100 families and their medical teams across the world. 

## **Coffee and Chat** 

In response to the pandemic, we initiated regular online Coffee and Chat sessions via Zoom for our families to meetup online and talk in a safe, supportive environment. This is something we will continue as our member families are widely dispersed across the globe and virtual meetups are sometimes the only way that families can connect. 

## **Natural History/Biomarker research study** 

The commencement of the proposed Natural History/Biomarker research study with Professor Sameer Zuberi from Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Children whilst previously approved by the Medical Advisory Board has, as with all non-COVID related research projects, been postponed due to the pandemic. Illumina study

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

The charity receives funding for specific purposes which are restricted **Brief statement of the charity’s** funds – these are not available for expenditure on other purposes. The **policy on reserves** general reserves are the unspent unrestricted funds of the charity. The charity currently owns no fixed assets, so the general reserve is held in cash. The general reserve is therefore the free reserves of the charity **plus any designated funds** , also termed ‘unrestricted funds’ in the charity’s balance sheet. The purpose of the general reserve is:  To fund working capital and time lags in the receipt of promised funds  To fund unexpected expenditure, e.g., when projects overrun, or unplanned events occur  Manage economic or regulatory changes which may have unforeseen financial consequences We assess the level of general reserve needed by looking forward and considering the risks to our funding balanced against our expenditure commitments. **Future plans show levels of committed expenditure for which we are seeking funding** , but to ensure we can continue to operate in accordance with our plans, we hold a general reserve in the range £5,500 - £6,500 to cover unfunded committed costs for the next 6 months. Our general reserve at 31 March 2021 was £11,902 (of which £4,072 has been designated for salaries), leaving £7,830 of Free Reserves which is slightly in excess of policy. The Board will review the policy in Q4 2021. **Details of any funds materially** n/a

RING20 RESEARCH AND SUPPORT UK CIO
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
I report on the accounts of Ring20 Research and Support UK CIO for the year ended
31 March 2021which are set out on pages 2 to 4.
Respectlve responslbllitles of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year {under section 144 (2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Chartties Act,
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of independent examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking
explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The prO￿dureS
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audil and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect..
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act., or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records,. or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements conceming the
form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and
Reports} Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a
true and fairf view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent
examination.
I 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 accounts
to be reached.
