Section D Achievements and performance

"The Trustees continued to hold weekly meetings. This close liaison, Summary of the main largely by electronic communication, has enabled a continuing high achievements of the charity degree of co-ordination and effective management of the HOCl Trust and during the year the exchange of ideas and the development of new initiatives. Our activity during 2023 centred around two main issues: Firstly, the submission of a document of evidence to the Covid Inquiry. The Trustees compiled a detailed account of the intense and purposeful but ultimately futile activity of the Trust to persuade government agencies and authorities to use HOCl in the defence of the population from the spread of the virus. Receipt of our document was notified to the Trust but no further communication from the Inquiry has been received, despite our offer to engage further. The document was posted in full on our website for public examination. Secondly, in line with the development of our website as primary means of public communication of HOCl science, we established a new format and continued the input of information for public consumption in line with our missions. The website has been structured to accommodate as wide a variety of interests as possible and great care has been taken to provide high quality scientific information in succinct and plain English. For improved readability of and easy access to published scientific papers, a simple and effective categorisation of research and other publications has been implemented. A system for donations to the Trust and new membership criteria have now been put in place. The trustees are pleased to announce the successful transfer of banking to a HSBC Business Charity account resulting in significantly greater efficiency in financial management and considerable savings in bank charges. This initiative provided much needed improvements in account management and contributed to the easing of financial stress on the Trust.

Our income was boosted by continued sales of HOCl generating tablets. The Trust intends to develop its fund raising capacity through further initiatives in the near future.

The Trust was invited to present to the Vaccination Control Group and the webinar was very well received by its members. We look forward to other such activities in the future."
