Report of the Trustees

For the year ended 31 December 2024

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).

Structure, governance and management:

The Norrie Disease Foundation was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 24 January 2017 and is managed by the Board of Trustees.

Risk assessment and management:

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees regularly review the risks to which NDF is exposed, particularly activity, operational and financial risks and to ensure procures and reporting regimes to manage and reduce any identified risks are in place. The prime risk to which NDF is exposed is financial. The Trustees are satisfied that the current level of reserves is adequate to meet both unforeseen contingencies and the costs of planned activities for the future.

OBJECTIVES AND CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES:

The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Charitable objectives:

To relieve the needs of those affected by Norrie disease by promoting greater understanding of the causes, symptoms, and treatment of Norrie disease in all its forms including:

Charitable activities:

The Trustees ensure that sufficient attention is paid to fundraising activities, monitoring grant funding opportunities and manage the charity's assets to ensure its sustainability and ability to carry out its charitable objectives. The charity relies heavily on its volunteers as it has no paid members of staff.

Public benefit:

In exercising their duty, the Trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. Our objectives are to offer support and information to families affected by Norrie disease. NDF liaises closely with researchers at UCL Great Ormond St Hospital (UCL GOSH) with regards to the ongoing pioneering research into hearing loss associated with Norrie disease. It also works constructively and in partnership with other agencies and organisations to continually improve support for families affected by Norrie disease - to change lives and make a difference to those living with the condition.

Summary of activities, achievement and performance:

Key activities and achievements throughout the year include:

Peer Support:

One of the main aims of the Foundation is to bring together families and the Norrie community to share experiences and provide peer support through the Norrie network. We continue to provide support via email and through the ND private Facebook group, where ND families have found comfort from hearing and sharing experiences.

-Trustee Kelly Leggett shared how important Living Paintings book are to son Alfie who has Norrie disease and how he and his brother enjoy them together.

Financial review and reserves policy

The charity Trustees continually monitor cash reserves to ensure its financial stability. The Trustees have examined the NDF's requirements for free reserves in light of predominant risks to the NDF. These are identified as a loss of income from donations and fundraising. The NDF is committed to building a reserves policy to ensure there is enough funding to cover one year's operating costs and the expenses for one family meet up per year. The charity has no outstanding financial obligations nor outstanding debts. The charity's principal source of funds comes from the general public, either through donations or at one-off fundraising events.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees

For the year ended 31 December 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 your charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiners statement

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 Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

NORRIE DISEASE FOUNDATION Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2024

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.

NORRIE DISEASE FOUNDATION meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Going concern

The Trustees have assessed the financial viability of the Charity and have concluded that there is no reason why the Charity will not continue operating for at least 12 months following the year ending 31st December 2024 . For this reason the financial accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Funds

Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the furtherance of the objectives of the Charity without a specified purpose and are available as general funds. Resources expended which meet these criteria are charged to the funds, together with a fair allocation of staff and support costs. Restricted funds are used for the specific purposes laid down by the donor or sponsor. Resources expended which meet these criteria are charged to the funds.

Incoming resources

Income is recognised in the period when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Resources expended

Expenditure incurred is recognised in the period once there is a legal constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party. It is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Taxation

The Charity is exempt from taxation on its charitable activities, as it is a registered charity.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after allowing for any discounts and as per the terms agreed. Prepayments are valued at the amounts prepaid for services and accrued income are valued at the amounts due per terms agreed and there is certainty of receipt.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes bank balance kept in current and deposit accounts.

Creditors and provisions:

Creditors and provisions 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 and provision are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements:

There are no significant areas of judgement or key sources of estimation uncertainty arising from the preparation of accounts.
