BRIGHT RED CHARITY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and financial statements for Company Act purposes.

Reference and administrative details set out on page 1 form part of the report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 and comply with the memorandum and articles of association, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 – Charities SORP FRS 102 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

Bright Red Charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 29 May 2018 and registered as a charity on 30 May 2018. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Trustees are appointed by a decision of the board of trustees. Each trustee shall retire from office at the conclusion of the third annual trustee meeting following the commencement of their term of office, but may be appointed for a consecutive period. A trustee who has served for six years consecutively must take a break from office and may not be appointed until the earlier of the anniversary of the commencement of their break from office and the annual trustee meeting following the annual trustee meeting at which their break from office commenced.

When looking to appoint new trustees, the charity would in particular, seek those with suitable skills, knowledge and experience who would contribute to and enhance the range and diversity of expertise on the board. The board also expects trustees to have a passion for the charity’s cause, fighting blood cancer.

Recommendations can be made to the board of trustees and subsequent approaches made to the individuals in question. The application process includes a review of a candidate’s curriculum vitae and a personal statement, which are presented to the board of trustees for their consideration.

The role of Chair is an essential trustee position. The Chair must possess demonstrable considerable business and leadership experience. Future recruitment processes could be expanded and widened to recruit replacements for these two roles when required.

The trustees for the purposes of charity law, who are also directors for the purpose of company law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.

Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees

New trustees are provided with all relevant Charity Commission publications as well as the charity’s governing document.

BRIGHT RED CHARITY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

31 DECEMBER 2022

Organisation

The charity is managed by the trustees. The number of trustees may not be less than three, but is not subject to any maximum. The quorum for the transaction of business is one third of the trustees or two trustees, whichever is greater. The trustees consist of Honorary Officers and a Chair. The trustees held three meetings in 2022 with additional updates sent via email.

The trustees delegated the day to day administration of the charity to Ms L Saxton, Charity Manager.

Relationship with other organisations

The charity agreed to administer the funds of the North East Haematology Nurses Group (NEHNG) as its agent, for them to deliver the biannual nursing conference. As agent, the charity acted in line with the instructions of the NEHNG, when administering the funds. The NEHNG have been unable to deliver the biannual nursing conference due to COVID, with no future date discussed.

Any funding requests to the charity from the NEHNG follow the normal grant application process.

Further details are shown in note 18 to the financial statements.

Risk management

The charity is small and tightly run with safeguards to cover all identified risks. These are reviewed regularly at trustees’ meetings.

The database system Donorfy is used to securely manage donations and supporter records. The charity’s financial reporting and grant management are managed by internal financial reports and a grant tracker for the charity’s grant expenditure.

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The objectives of the charity for the benefit of the public benefit are:

Our vision is to improve the lives and treatment of people with blood cancer across the north of England. Through investments in patient care, research and education we are striving to beat illnesses such as leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplasia and myeloproliferative diseases.

The trustees confirm they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing Bright Red Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

31 DECEMBER 2022

Grant making policy

All grant applications were presented to trustees in the meeting papers issued in advance of board of trustees’ meetings aside from Lee Robson Patient Care Grants. The decisions to award grants sat with the board of trustees, who approved or declined funding at the board meetings. An exception to this was made if the deadline of the activity in question, such as an educational conference, would be reached before the next meeting. In this instance the application in question would be shared with trustees for their decision by email.

Professor Matt Collin continued his role as co-ordinator of the scientific panel for the selection of referees to consider research grant applications and to make recommendations to the trustees. All projects receiving grant support were monitored on an annual basis.

In addition to research, the charity provided patient care and education grants. Applicants can request grant application forms by emailing support@brightred.org.uk.

The Lee Robson Patient Care Award application forms were held at the hospitals at which these grants are funded. These forms require two healthcare professionals from the hospital who are part of the patient care team, to sign the application before sending to the Charity Manager. The application is reviewed for approval by the Charity Manager.

Achievements and performance

The trustees of Bright Red, an unincorporated registered charity, number 1105891, considered that the objects of the charity would be best achieved through the transfer of the undertaking to Bright Red Charity. The assets of the unincorporated charity were transferred to the charitable company on 21 January 2019. The unincorporated charity was not dissolved and will remain on the Charity Commission register in order to receive donations which will be passed to the charitable company for furtherance of the objects. Bright Red Charity acts as a corporate trustee of the unincorporated charity and was appointed on 30 January 2019.

Income for 2022 was largely from grants and donations and the donations transferred from the unincorporated charity, as disclosed in note 4 to the accounts.

Existing grant commitments continued to be paid during the year. Two new research grants were agreed to be funded.

During this financial year the charity invested:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Financial review (continued)

The statement of financial activities on page 8 shows a net deficit of £4,022 (2021: £20,876) on unrestricted funds and net income of £6,024 (2021: net deficit of £2,878) on restricted funds after total expenditure of £180,424 (2021: £154,714) and net losses on investments of £26,940 (2021: gains of £2,534).

Investment performance and policy

Given the relatively short term commitments and specific needs, the charity retains the bulk of its funds in liquid form with the bankers. In addition, £204,280 (2021: £224,445) is invested in a low risk portfolio under the care of Seven Investment Management (7IM).

Half yearly reports from 7IM are received, which show valuations, performance and any changes to holdings in the period.

Reserves policy

Funds are held to cover the cost of long-term projects, with the aim to maintain a level of reserves of a minimum of 1.5 times commitments. The charity makes no commitment in respect of expenditure for which funds are not already available. At the 2022 year end, the charity held unrestricted funds of £298,835 against commitments of £110,629.

Plans for future periods

In terms of future funding, significant grants remaining include £66,544 to be paid out for patient care, including three Haematology Nurses and £44,085 committed to various research projects. The unincorporated charity will continue to operate to pass donations on to Bright Red Charity continuing the activities already established.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees of the charity to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

BRIGHT RED CHARITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Ward 33, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE7 7DN.

The members of the charity are the trustees shown on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability of the members in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member.

2. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as designed by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional and presentation currency of the charity.

b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The charity has reviewed its cash flow forecasts and there is a reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months and on this basis the trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.

c) Fund structure

Unrestricted funds

General funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds

Grants and donations obtained for specific purposes are recognised in the financial statements as restricted funds, together with attributable investment income. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

d) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Donation and legacy income is received by way of grants and donations and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods, or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.

Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when receipt is probable, that is, when there has 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.

Investment income such as dividends and interest are included when receivable.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at fair value where material and recognised when they are distributed.

BRIGHT RED CHARITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

e) Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category, inclusive of any VAT which can not be recovered. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.

Grants are only made to related or third party charities in furtherance of the charitable objects of the funds. A liability for such grants is recognised when approval has been given by the trustees.

The expenditure on raising funds are those costs attributable to generating incoming resources for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities, and represent investment management fees or occasional fund-raising events.

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity, as shown in notes 6 and 7.

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs are allocated on the basis of staff time spent on each activity and are shown in note 7 to the financial statements.

f) Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are included in the financial statements at their historical cost.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of the assets over their expected useful lives. The rate used is as follows: Computer equipment - 25% per annum straight line

g) Fixed asset investments

Investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Gains or losses arising on revaluation or disposal are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the funds in which the investments are held.
