1. Executive Summary
TeleEEG is a UK-registered charity dedicated to improving access to specialist electroencephalography (EEG) services in countries where clinical neurophysiology resources remain limited. Through education, telemedicine, equipment provision and international collaboration, the charity supports sustainable neurological services and improves access to expert diagnosis.
During the period 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2025, TeleEEG continued to expand its international activities through new partnerships, support for existing clinics and an international network of volunteer consultant specialists.
Income increased to £28,594, expenditure totalled £24,685, producing a surplus of £3,909 and unrestricted reserves of £4,811 at the year end.
2. Chief Executive's Introduction
It is my pleasure to present the Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2025. Fifteen years after its foundation, TeleEEG has established 72 clinics internationally, worked across 42 countries and supported more than 45,000 EEG interpretations through an international network of volunteer consultant specialists.
TeleEEG's philosophy remains centred on sustainable healthcare through education, mentoring, equipment provision and long-term partnership. I extend my sincere thanks to our volunteers, trustees, donors and partner organisations, particularly The Archer Trust, whose support enabled new services in Bangladesh and Jamaica.
Dr Stephen Coates Chief Executive Officer and Trustee

4. Why TeleEEG Matters
Millions of people worldwide lack access to specialist EEG services. TeleEEG helps address this inequality by combining equipment provision, education, telemedicine and international collaboration to create sustainable neurological services.
5. Public Benefit
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit throughout the reporting period. TeleEEG exists to relieve sickness and preserve health by improving access to specialist electroencephalography (EEG) services for people living with epilepsy and other neurological disorders in countries where specialist neurophysiology services are limited.
The charity delivers public benefit through five complementary activities:
-
Provision of EEG equipment and peripherals
-
Education and professional training
-
Remote specialist EEG reporting
-
International collaboration
-
Long-term support for sustainable local services
6. How TeleEEG Creates Lasting Impact
TeleEEG's model is based upon sustainable capacity building rather than isolated intervention. Equipment is provided alongside education, mentoring and continued specialist support, enabling partner organisations to develop independent, high-quality EEG services.
7. The Five Strategic Pillars
| 7. The Five Strategic Pillars | |
|---|---|
| Pillar | Purpose |
| Equipment | Providing EEG systems and peripherals where access is limited. |
| Educaton | Training healthcare professionals to establish and maintainqualityEEG services. |
| Telemedicine | Connectng clinics with volunteer consultant specialists for remote reportng. |
| Collaboraton | Working with hospitals, universites and partner organisatons worldwide. |
| Sustainability | Supportng clinics beyond installaton through mentoringand contnuingeducaton. |
8. Our Impact During 2024–2025
During the reporting period TeleEEG continued to work across 42 countries, supporting 45 clinics actively submitting EEG recordings and interpreting 3,875 EEGs through its network of volunteer consultant specialists. The Trustees remained committed to strengthening existing services while laying the foundations for future expansion.
Patient Story – Zambia
"I had my TeleEEG test done in Lusaka, Zambia, through the Epilepsy Association of Zambia. My EEG was reported by Dr A. Forster. I was very pleased to learn that my condition had improved since my first EEG and since starting medication in December 2017. I was passionate about continuing my education, but my illness had become a major distraction. Receiving specialist assessment and appropriate treatment has given me confidence for the future."
— Irfan Patel, Lusaka, Zambia
Every EEG interpreted represents an individual seeking answers. While TeleEEG measures success through clinics established, professionals trained and EEGs interpreted, the Trustees recognise that the charity's greatest impact is the difference it makes to patients and their families.
9. Expanding the Global TeleEEG Network
One of TeleEEG's principal objectives is to establish sustainable EEG services in regions where specialist neurophysiology resources remain limited. During the reporting period the charity continued to expand its international network through equipment provision, education, telemedicine and long-term clinical collaboration.
By the end of the reporting period TeleEEG had established 72 clinics internationally, worked across 42 countries and supported 45 clinics actively submitting EEG recordings. The Trustees regard the continued activity and sustainability of partner clinics as a key measure of success.
10. Supporting Existing Clinics
TeleEEG's commitment extends beyond establishing new services. Existing partner clinics continued to receive remote EEG reporting, consultant mentoring, quality assurance, technical advice and educational support. These long-term relationships are central to the charity's philosophy of building sustainable neurological services.
11. Education and Professional Development
Education remains one of TeleEEG's defining strengths. Training is delivered through practical teaching, mentoring, online support and case discussion, enabling healthcare professionals to develop increasing independence while maintaining access to specialist advice. Since its establishment, TeleEEG has trained 234 healthcare professionals.
12. Humanitarian Support for Ukraine
Throughout the reporting period TeleEEG continued to support neurological services in Ukraine. Working alongside Ukrainian healthcare professionals, the charity delivered education, equipment support and continuing clinical collaboration despite the challenges created by the conflict. The Trustees remain inspired by the resilience and professionalism of Ukrainian colleagues.
13. People, Partnerships and Innovation
TeleEEG is built upon the generosity of approximately 120 volunteer consultant specialists who freely contribute their expertise. The charity also benefits from partnerships with hospitals, universities, charitable organisations and professional societies, enabling a level of international impact that greatly exceeds its financial resources.
Partner Spotlight – The Archer Trust
The Trustees record their sincere appreciation to The Archer Trust (Registered Charity No. 1033534). The Trust's generous support enabled the establishment of TeleEEG services in Bangladesh and Jamaica during the reporting period, strengthening access to specialist neurological diagnosis and education.
14. Financial Review
The Trustees are pleased to report a positive financial outcome for the year ended 31 October 2025. Total incoming resources amounted to £28,594 and expenditure totalled £24,685, resulting in a surplus of £3,909. Unrestricted reserves increased to £4,811 with cash at bank of £5,111.
The charity remains entirely volunteer-led with no employees and Trustees receiving no remuneration. Resources continued to be directed towards equipment, education, international collaboration, shipping, travel and information technology in support of the charity's objectives.
15. Structure, Governance and Management
TeleEEG is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (Registered Charity Number 1168877). The charity is governed by its Constitution and managed by a Board of Trustees responsible for strategic direction, financial stewardship and ensuring delivery of the charity's purposes.
Clinical Governance
All EEG reports are prepared by appropriately qualified consultant neurologists, consultant clinical neurophysiologists and consultant paediatricians. Clinical governance is maintained through consultant-led reporting, peer support, education and quality assurance.
Risk Management
The Trustees review risks regularly, including financial sustainability, cybersecurity, information governance, overseas operational challenges and recruitment of volunteer consultant specialists. Appropriate mitigation measures are maintained.
16. Looking Ahead
Future priorities include strengthening existing clinics, expanding the international network, increasing volunteer engagement, developing the next-generation TeleEEG reporting platform and responsibly exploring technologies that improve efficiency while maintaining expert clinical oversight.
17. Our Thanks
The Trustees thank every volunteer consultant specialist, healthcare professional, donor, grantmaking trust and partner organisation whose commitment has made TeleEEG's work possible. Special thanks are extended to The Archer Trust, The ROW Foundation, Rotary International, the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, the Centre for Process Innovation and BrainCapture.
18. Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). They confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of TeleEEG
Year Ended 31 October 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of TeleEEG ('the charity') for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The White House, 15 Holywell Avenue, Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear, NE26 3AH.
2. Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees consider that there are no significant estimates or judgements affecting these financial statements.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
7
TeleEEG
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year Ended 31 October 2025
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Taxation
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of TeleEEG
Year Ended 31 October 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of TeleEEG ('the charity') for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The White House, 15 Holywell Avenue, Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear, NE26 3AH.
2. Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees consider that there are no significant estimates or judgements affecting these financial statements.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year Ended 31 October 2025
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Taxation
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
