Introduction

The trustees present their ADSHG Annual Report and Accounts 2022

This document is the ADSHG trustees’ report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The trustees have followed best practise and relevant regulations when compiling this report:

The trustees have adopted the provisions of ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice’ and ‘Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 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 2019).

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities:

The charity 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 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:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution . They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Public Benefit

Our trustees have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In this annual report we’ve recorded, under pages dedicated to each strategic strand, the public benefit we’ve delivered in 2022.

ADSHG CHARITY OBJECTS – The work we are here to do

To promote the relief of persons with Addison's disease, in particular by the provision of support, information and communication for such persons, their families and carers and by such charitable means as the trustees determine.

3 STRATEGIC STRANDS (Support, Connect, Advance) – How we divide up the work

To deliver our objects we provide an immediate-term service to people with Addison’s Disease by providing support . We also improve the care they receive through representation and connect ion with the healthcare profession. We then look to the future to advance the medical and healthcare innovations that would relieve the difficulties of life with Addison’s in the future.

SUPPORT

Aim: Provide resources and build a community to help people self-manage their Addison’s and improve their quality of life

CONNECT

Aim: Make it possible for the voice of people with Addison’s to influence, inform and improve the way the healthcare system delivers their care

ADVANCE

Aim: Fund, contribute to and promote the development of new innovations that will improve the quality of life of people with Addison’s.

Achievements: What we did

Treasurer comments about the charity monies used to pay for our support services work

The costs related to our support services we offer have increased due to unprecedented demand. We have a new member of paid staff now to allow us to support 600 extra members and around 2200 extra people in our wider Addison’s community. We also invested in up-to-date IT equipment. Lots of things cost more after Brexit and due to the cost of living crisis - from postage to the amount our various suppliers charge us. See more from page 20 onwards. We’ve received a £4000 grant from the Society of Endocrinology towards updating our support resources.

Success measures - How we checked our progress and impact

Public benefit of our support activities: Advancement of health and s ~~aving lives~~

Direct recipients (People with AI and those who care for them) – Improved quality of life

Wider public – Reduction in demand on under-pressure health services between appointments and prevention of avoidable hospital admissions

Connect: Ensuring patient voices influence healthcare quality in 2022

We worked closely with healthcare professionals in the UK, ROI and abroad

Treasurer comments about the charity monies used to pay for our support services work

We’ve spent £900 on our medical conference attendances including travel, accommodation and our stand full of resources. A proportion of operational costs (including staff time and costs associated with producing and transporting resources) go towards our costs in this ‘connect’ strand of our work. Travel costs are up and are supported by a £500 Society of Endocrinology grant. We spent £3000 on sponsoring medical student attendances at medical conferences. See more from page 20 onwards.

Success measures - How we checked our progress and impact

We’re continuing to find ways to represent our impact with figures we can compare year on year. The below make results will be a great initial benchmark for future years . We introduced a new impact survey of people with AI. Next year we will expand it to include healthcare professionals and set goals for improvement

The number of our 2022 impact survey respondents whose healthcare professionals 79 recommended the ADSHG or its services by healthcare professionals who had heard about us through the healthcare liaison work our donors fund support.

Public benefit of our ‘connect’ activities: Advancement of education and promotion of the efficiency of ambulance services and healthcare professionals

Direct recipients (People with AI and those who care for them) – Improved quality of life through better healthcare

Wider public – Reduction in demand on under-pressure health services between appointments and prevention of avoidable hospital admissions. Efficiencies in emergency care.

Our Volunteers: We’re dependent on and grateful for their support

Volunteers play a crucial role in our work to support people with Addison’s. They provide support, time, and resources. Here are some examples of what volunteers do for the ADSHG:

Support services:

Volunteers provide support to individuals and families affected by Addison’s by offering emotional support, companionship, and practical assistance. Our Enquiries email account is ably managed by a dedicated volunteer who has supported the ADSHG for many years and we are so fortunate to have their support. Our Clinical Panel review and verify our guidance and deliver valued talks on managing Addison’s at our events.

Governance:

Our trustees are all volunteers giving their own time to meet the responsibilities outlined in the ‘Statement of trustees’ responsibilities in this report. In addition to these legal and fiduciary responsibilities, trustees also bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and connections to the ADSHG. We are grateful to our volunteer GDPR advisor who has a wealth of experience consulting on Data Protection professionally.

Fundraising:

Advocacy:

Volunteers help with organising and running fundraising activities such as charity walks, runs, and community events. We have valued volunteers who help us show our gratitude to fundraisers by organising a note of thanks in the post.

Volunteers help raise awareness of the issues our community experiences and advocate for changes that will benefit those affected by the Addison’s. Our medical conference volunteer team travel the country to attend endocrine conferences and talk to healthcare professionals about life with Addison’s Disease

Community outreach:

Research:

Volunteers help the ADSHG reach out to the community by providing information and resources, organising awareness days, and participating in educational programs.

Volunteers assist with clinical trials and research studies. They share their own experiences and opinions so that new developments suit the needs of people with AI.

“I feel it is really important to continually raise awareness of Addison’s and adrenal insufficiency which is why I volunteered. The added bonus is the lovely people I have met along the way” Jackie R

Our volunteers are critical to the success of the ADSHG as they provide support, raise awareness, and help to make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by Addison’s.

ADSHG Memberships

Membership trends in 2022:

We welcomed nearly 600 new members this year. We also saw the impacts of the cost of living crisis as our hardship programme reached the limit of people we were able to accept as hardship members. We also heard from so many people keen to renew but weighing up if it would be affordable for them in the current climate. Membership rates have slowed towards the end of the year as people adjust to more challenging times financially. We are grateful to those able to renew their memberships. We offer many of our support resources free of charge on our website so hope that people without memberships can still benefit from our guidance and advice.

A note of thanks to our members:

The ADSHG has always benefitted from the enthusiasm, ideas, donations, and efforts of members to build a friendly community to support people with Addison’s. We know for many of you it’s been a challenging few years and we appreciate you staying connected with us in this way and contributing to the maintenance of our services to our whole membership.

Membership inclusion:

We help our members to engage with us in a range of ways depending on their preferences and needs - paper, digital, hybrid, large print, face-to-face, answerphone, SMS and more. We run a hardship scheme so that we can include a limited number of people facing economic difficulties in ADSHG membership.

ADSHG Aims for 2023

As a newly reformed team, with new trustees, volunteers and staff joining our existing colleagues, we’ve been able to gauge over the year what constitutes a realistic, manageable pace and workload. An ambitious strategy was developed in late 2021 to early 2022 and we’ve decided to select just three items from it and give them dedicated focus in the next twelve months. We have heard from our community at our events, via our enquiries helpdesk and our communications channels that improving care and providing ways people can get support between medical appointments are high priorities. This makes the implementation of an endocrine nurse helpline and investment in medical research important deliverables for us as a charity.

In addition to putting in place measures to keep our Operation resilient and compliant , we hope to:

Fund further medical research and projects with our medical research reserves that have been boosted significantly by the generous support of dedicated fundraisers and donors this year. We are fortunate to have organisations receiving ADSHG grants and delivering innovative projects in 2023 and welcome applications from others wishing to help us meet our charity objects through improved care for our community.

Establish an endocrine nurse helpline by creating or outsourcing the required expertise of a qualified endocrine nurse, telephony, operational processes and compliance. Funds from our unrestricted donations will fund the initial implementation of this project.

Plan how we’ll mark the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group by Deana Kenward in 1984. We’re very grateful to our founder and all involved in growing such an important source of support and information for people with Addison’s. We will be inviting our members and wider community to celebrate and fundraise for the future support of people with this condition. Unrestricted funds will be dedicated to ensuring this celebration raises awareness to reach those who’ve yet to receive our support, and gathers support from donors towards our planned projects.

Longer term strategy

Our ADSHG trustees published a strategy document in 2022 that provides a view of longerterm goals. It can be accessed on our website: https://www.addisonsdisease.org.uk/adshgannual-reports.

Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) Annual Report and Accounts 2022 | Page 14

Fundraising

We are extremely grateful to everyone who donated or fundraised to help support our work:

Streams of fundraising income in 2022 were made up of payments made to us via:

Total 2022 donations and fundraising: £196,821 exc. GiftAid

Corporate Fundraising

In 2023 we will begin to use the services of Work for Good to enable compliant commercial agreements to allow sales fundraising by businesses and sole traders. We will also use the services of Giftease to process back-dated and future Gift Aid claims to increase our income from donations. We do not use any thirdparty professional fundraisers.

Compliance in Fundraising

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator. We follow the Code of Fundraising Practice. We ask all fundraisers to make contact with us so we can advise them on responsible fundraising and how to make the most of their activities to raise monies. From 2023 fundraising agreement will be put in place for any fundraising activities where the fundraiser(s):

Our fundraising agreement sets out acceptable conduct for those fundraising for us so that we can discourage unreasonable intrusion on a person’s privacy, unreasonably persistent approaches or placing undue pressures on a person to give money or other property.

Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) Annual Report and Accounts 2022 | Page 15

The ADSHG Trustee Board

The ADSHGs governed by an elected body of trustees consisting of not more than 11 and not less than five members. Each trustee is elected for a three-year term at an Annual General Meeting, or may be co-opted by the trustees between AGMs. Meeting in person or virtually, with additional subgroup or single-item agenda meetings convened where needed, the Trustees provide governance and direction to the charity’s Executive Director, staff team, engaged consultants and our volunteers.

Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of Trustees

The trustees can appoint any appropriate person to be a trustee. Training for new trustees includes a Welcome Pack which includes a copy of the Constitution, background information on the Charity and a copy of the relevant commission publication The Essential Trustee, all alongside a comprehensive introduction to our work and processes.

Diversity, equity and inclusion:

Our trustee board continues to grow in diversity welcoming new voices and perspectives in recent times.

We need to improve our board representation of people: We welcome people to help us represent more of our
membership and wider community –whether you can
provide a voice for an under-represented group or have skills
and experiences that could help us govern the charity.
Our Future Trustees programme aims to demystify trusteeship
and dispel myths that it's for C-suite, late-career individuals of
a specific background.
From a wider range of ethnic groups
Of a non-binary gender
Who have caring responsibilities (other than as parents)
Who come from a wider range social-economic backgrounds
Aged 65+

We are rolling out training and reporting on Diversity Equity and Inclusion across our teams. We've been improving the diversity and accessibility of the imagery and content we publish.

A view from our Chair

This is my first annual report as Chairman of the Trustees. 2022 has been a better year for the charity, we started the year signing off and approving our strategy, which takes us to 2025 and setting a number of key goals for the Charity.

Before I go into the detail I must thank everyone involved in the charity for their efforts in supporting this small patient support group. The Charity offers support, connection and advancement to the people of the UK and ROI’s with Addison’s Disease and members of the wider Adrenal Insufficiency community. Most people’s initial contact with the charity is at the point of diagnosis, which for everyone with this rare disease is always a challenge. At diagnosis people reach into the charity, with a thirst for knowledge, which ADSHG provides. People are often immediately grateful, for the work of the charity. To enable us to continue this work I must thank our membership and all our fundraisers. The fundraisers allow the Charity to continue the work that we do, and have enabled the charity to expand our efforts on behalf of the AI community. I wish to thank our staff, volunteers and trustees for their time and efforts over the past year, and look forward to taking the charity into its 40[th] Anniversary year in 2024. In this update I’ll follow the three key strands of the work that we do as a charity:

“Support, Connect and Advance the lives of people with Addison’s Disease”

SUPPORT

The key area of work that we do as a charity is to support to our membership and wider Ai community. I read everyday on social media how hard some people find day-to-day living with Addison’s Disease. The fundamental purpose of the charity is to provide information and support so that our membership and the wider Adrenal insufficiency (AI) community can lead their best lives.

The charity membership has continued to grow throughout the year. A challenge we have as a charity is to then retain that membership. We have found that the hardship fund has been well received by the membership and at times fully subscribed.

Key elements of support strand of our work is our meetings, not only our main medical lectures in London and Dublin, but also the gatherings out in the regions. This year’s meetings in London and Dublin, were very well attended, not only by people with Addison’s Disease, but the professionals who help us treat and manage this rare illness. The meetings were run as hybrid events. In-person presence accounted for over a third of the attendance at each event, with the remainder joining us virtually. Combined, the events were attended by over 150 people, equating to around 15% of our total membership. Certainly, I find the gatherings of the charities membership emotional – in my routine life – I never knowingly encounter anyone else with Addison’s Disease. The opportunity to share experiences is key for newly diagnosed people, but also rewarding for those of us that have had Addison’s disease for a few years.

My big takeaway from the meeting in Dublin, was the young people, many either at University or starting their professional careers, seated around a table, exchanging thoughts and ideas – and signing up to various social media forums.

Our magazine, newsletter and our multiple social media forms go from strength to strength thanks to the work of our dedicated editorial and operations teams. We’re grateful for the messages of thanks, and the submissions we receive from our followers and readers. Sharing stories and improving our communications are very important in improving the quality of life of people with AI.

Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) Annual Report and Accounts 2022 | Page 17

A view from our Chair (cont..)

Our member-only forum continues, despite competition from various groups on Facebook and other social media channels. I learned in Dublin that there is an active WhatsApp group for the younger crowd with 75 members (organised independently of the ADSHG). The plan for 2023 is to relaunch the social meetings after a break during the pandemic, as they are so important to our members. An effective way to learn how to manage your Addison’s Disease is to learn from the experiences of people with the illness.

CONNECT

The meetings we hold in London and Dublin are important because they bring our membership into contact with professionals who are interested in Addison’s Disease. Uniting people with AI and healthcare professionals brings mutual benefits. Our membership understand more about their rare disease and how to manage it, and the professionals’ takeaway insights from the patient’s perspective. Those healthcare professionals can then better represent the patient voice if they are invited to work with the NHS, NICE or other influential bodies to inform health policy that impacts all of our lives.

Charity volunteers managed a stand at the Society for Endocrinology BES Conference and offer online learning for paramedics. In 2021 we provided input to the NHS Steroid card and continue to support its implementation. This year we have had significant input into the NHS website pages on Addison’s Disease.

ADVANCE

The Charity has funded two key projects, to advance the care needs of people with Addison’s Disease.

The first was a package of learning at the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP). This was a new venture for the Charity – RCGP has 64,000 members across the UK. The idea was to fund an e-learning module, dedicated to Addison’s Disease that GPs would undertake as part of their continuing professional development, or be able to access as required when dealing with a potential patient or patient with adrenal insufficiency. Our module is one of 138 modules hosted by the RCGP. The module was launched in October and so far just under 500 GPs have undertaken 15 minutes of training in Addison’s Disease. We wait to see whether this represents good value for money, but every GP trained in Addison’s Disease is a step in the right direction.

In the second project we have provided our last round of funding this year to Solution Medical, in their quest to develop an auto-injector for adrenal insufficiency. As a business, over two years they have been operating, they have developed a prototype auto-injector and have formulated the solution to inject from it. That said, Solution Medical have a lot to do, to get the auto-injector through accreditation and to the market – a business journey which is potentially another four years of effort and another $10 million. As part of our due diligence process we interviewed the new CEO of Solution Medical, who is a specialist in bringing innovative medical solutions to market. His experience combined with the founder’s passion convinced the trustees that granting funding would be prudent. A number of trustees and staff have handled the prototype and the attendees in Dublin completed feedback forms on the device. Our contributions as regards funding are now ending with quite a level of funding still required to help bring this device to market. We can however help support the building of a business case of an auto-injector to be available through the NHS and HSE. While Solution Medical have made great progress and could be the first to get their product to market, we are open to approaches by other companies to assist with their development of similar technologies.

Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) Annual Report and Accounts 2022 | Page 18

A view from our Chair (cont..)

We been approached for funding by Manchester University, who are undertaking a data analysis of NHS records to establish amongst other things the number of people in the UK with adrenal insufficiency, both primary and secondary. As a condition of our funding we have asked them to establish the number of hospital admissions and fatalities for Primary and Secondary AI for adrenal crisis. At this point of time, our offer is in the acceptance phase and we await the release of the data set later in 2023.

A healthy uptake on the surveys we have advertised to our membership linked to patient education, adrenal crisis management and quality of life with adrenal insufficiency has been very encouraging.

GOVERNANCE

We have increased our number of operations staff and resilience by bringing Chloe Mezzetti into the team. Chloe brings another young face to the charity. She has attended events across the country for us and is part of the team working with NICE on new medical guidelines for Adrenal Insufficiency due out in 2024. Vick Smith and Philippa Sharman, both continue in their respective roles, with Vick becoming Executive Director and stepping into a wider governance role across the charity.

As far as the Trustee body goes, we have continued to diversify the board, bringing some younger people to the team. This includes Thanooshan Selvarajah who is currently working through qualifications to become a lawyer. Tilly Rose, who has a significant social media following, applied to become a trustee and has attended a meeting as a co-opted Trustee. Alessandro Prete has joined as the endocrine specialist trustee, delivering an excellent lecture at the Annual Meeting in London. Christine Walters has joined the team and is keen to build an events programme for the charity.

We continue to improve our compliance position and we routinely review our risk register as a charity to monitor data protection, safeguarding and other charity legal requirements.

FINANCES

Our finances are positive, and Stuart, our charity treasurer provides, in this report, a summary of our 2022 accounts to introduce our annual accounts pages compiled by our accountants Mercer Lewin.

A LOOK AHEAD

An objectives for 2023 is to set up a endocrine nurse helpline for our membership. Our aim is to work with other endocrine charities to make this possible for our membership and other people with AI across the UK and ROI. As an endocrine patient I had never met a endocrine nurse previously (I am told they are very rare), but as a member of the charity I now meet them regularly and recognise that they are very valuable in terms of patient education.

We are looking forward to the 40[th] Anniversary of the Charity in 2024 – now’s the time to think about how you’ll celebrate and join us in marking this important milestone.

You can read more about our future plans elsewhere in this report.

We are always looking for volunteers, either to fund raise or help out – all support is very much appreciated.

Our Executive/Operations Team of Permanent Staff

Permanent Staff Members as at 31 December 2022

The following individuals acted as Permanent Staff Members (part-time) throughout the year except where otherwise stated.

Executive Director – Vick Smith Digital Communications and Engagement Manager – Philippa Sharman Operations Support Assistant – Chloe Mezzetti

Growing our permanent staff made the ADSHG more resilient and able to support a growing community

In 2022 we hired Chloe to a new role as Operations Support Assistant. She’s been able to help us support our growing crowd of fundraisers and shop customers. This has given Philippa space to handle an increasing amount or queries and contacts from our popular social media accounts. Vick is now has capacity to support the trustees in their governance work. Our amazing enquiries volunteer Alison can focus on providing supportive responses to increasing numbers people reaching out to us for information.

Diversity, equity and inclusion in our working practices:

We work with our employees to check for, improve and monitor working practises to ensure we provide safe and healthy working conditions. We continue to improve our personnel practices so that we can actively avoid discrimination. All our team are entitled to work flexibly and remotely so that they can share their work schedule around family, disability-related, faith-based or other commitments. All workers are treated equally regardless of role or level within the charity organisation - and are encouraged to voice any ideas, feedback or concerns to any member of the charity executive or trustee board without fear of reprisals. We do not utilise support or condone unethical personnel practices such as forced or compulsory, or child labour. We expect the same principles to be upheld by our suppliers and partners.

While do not officially recognise any individual trade and workers unions, we respect the right of our staff to join such organisations without fear of intimidation or reprisal in accordance with national law. We respect the role these organisations can usefully play in collective bargaining and problem solving.

To make working for and volunteering at the ADSHG economically inclusive we operate according to staff and volunteer expenses policies and encourage claiming of reasonable expenses.

Arrangements for setting pay and remuneration of key management personnel – benchmarks, parameters, or criteria used

The treasurer of the board of trustees determines salary and other benefit changes for the Executive Director and wider executive team. The treasurer makes these decisions in consultation with the Finance Steering Group and Board of Trustees. When we set our salaries, we consider:

By taking these factors into consideration, we can ensure that we are providing staff with appropriate levels of compensation while protecting the funds the charity requires to achieve its objects.

Risk management and internal controls

Major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis are reviewed regularly by trustees. We have internal controls, policies and procedures to provide reasonable assurances against material misstatement or loss.

Financial risk and controls

Financial risks we need to monitor, manage or mitigate against include funding shortfalls, inadequate reserves, investment losses, and fraud. The Treasurer, Financial Steering Group or Executive Director approve all spending according to our Scheme of Delegation that also outlines which decisions need full trustee board approval. Payments via CAF Bank require dual authorisation. Reserve funds are retained in fixed term deposit based (no-risk) accounts. The charity’s receipts and payments processes, book-keeping and annual statutory accounts are managed by contracted agencies.

Governance risk and controls to monitor, manage or mitigate against are

Governance assessments, training and controls

A new compliance learning management system has been rolled out to Operations staff (and will soon be available to trustees and volunteers in 2023) to ensure training in core compliance for charity operations is completed and refreshed regularly. The programme includes GDPR, Safeguarding, Diversity and Inclusion, Workstation Assessments. In 2023 our trustees will complete The Governance App assessment for Board excellence and act on the findings. The Operations Team complete Quarterly controls to ensure regular compliance actions are completed. Partnerships are subject to due-diligence to deter corrupt practices. We aim to have an anti-corruption policy in place by the end of 2023.

Clinical Compliance and Quality

The ADSHG is supported by an independent clinical panel of endocrinologists with an interest in adrenal medicine, known as the Clinical Advisory Panel (CAP). We are indebted to our medical advisers for their pro bono support and advice.

Environmental sustainability:

We continue to adopt new practises to protect the environment. Recent examples include:

Factors affecting the achievement of current and future objectives

We’ve benefitted from a refreshed more diverse board to bring new perspectives and voices to our charity. Investments in staff and the expertise of charity consultants have helped us to build the resilience and capacity of our Operation again this year. The NHS, HSE, NICE and the learned societies continue to approach us enthusiastically to collaborate meaning that in many cases we are able to directly influence systemic change in the quality of care for people with Addison’s at a quicker pace than was previously possible.

Several external challenges impacting our work have been:

As we grow, we drive more demand for our services. We’re keen to ensure we strike the right balance between growth, resilience, compliance and ensuring we keep adequate reserves for the financial stability of the charity.

Finance update from our treasurer

“Once again, I am delighted to report on a financially successful year for The Addison’s Self-Help Group. Last year we were seeing the end of the effects of the pandemic, and as a charity, were looking positively to the future. Unfortunately, the cost-of-living crisis is now starting to have a big effect on public finances. As a Charity, we have proved to be resilient in respect of indirect and direct pressures. This is helped by our amazing team of staff, volunteers, and Trustees.

Income

Income from all sources does add up. No donation is too small. Any project approved by Trustees has been fully funded without adversely affecting the Charities' underlying financial support.

Total income in 2022 was £281,973, an increase of about £70,000 on 2021. This was due to a large legacy. Elsewhere, other channels of income have stayed constant. Our net income was £25,509 in 2022, this was an increase of about £17,000 from 2021. I am pleased to see an increase in our underlying profits.

Expenditure

Total expenditure in 2022 was £256,464, an increase of about £52,000. We were able to dispense more grants, and these were offset by our reduction in Advocacy costs. Our operation costs have increased, reflected in our investment in our staff team, external resources to support them, and increased spending on the Endocrine Nurse viability.

Our costs versus income in relation to the shop showed a deficit in the past year. The shop is an important part of our services that we offer to our members. With this in mind, we have increased our fees minimally to cover this.

Financial position

We carry forward total charitable funds of £195,981 of which £162 ,912 is unrestricted. This does allow the Charity to be flexible in its funding. As we mentioned last year, we reviewed our budgeting, bookkeeping and financial reporting systems, and we are now able to access up to date information and project this forward. I believe we are in a strong financial position however we need to be proactive in raising money. Membership fees, donations, fundraising, and legacies allow the Charity to fulfill our investment in current and new projects while keeping the Operation running

Our membership has increased in 2022 compared to 2021. Since the start of 2023, we have noticed a small drop off in membership. We accept that this is due to the current cost of living crisis. However, the membership is still in an extremely healthy position. Our Hardship fund has been paused due to reaching capacity. We will review that monthly and consider resuming the fund as soon as we can.

Fundraising in relation to virtual sporting events has been disappointing. However, as we get back to nonvirtual events, I feel that this will once again be profitable. Low-cost fundraising continues to be profitable for the Charity..

Our reserves are adequate, and we can do all our activities without putting the Charity at risk. Our projects are fully funded, and we can contribute to medical advancements, which help all people who suffer Adrenal Insufficiency. As the Treasurer, it is my responsibility to financially sustain the Charity for the long term. We are in an exceptionally outstanding position to fulfill that aim. ”

Primary purpose trading

Our trading activities help us deliver against our objects as a charity by providing resources to promote the support of persons with Addison’s Disease and those who care for them.

What our community told us about the items we supplied

“Emergency injection kit and hospital info folder. The folder was very useful when at casualty with a near crisis and needed to make receptionist aware. I was able to wave it at him.” Christopher E

“I use the big and small injection kit, small one goes in my bag that goes everywhere with me when I’m out the house. I use the big injection kit at home and put it with all my medications in a big box. I use the wrist band alert when out the house so I know if something happens when I’m alone with strangers and unable to communicate that someone might call an ambulance if I take ill and that paramedics should be able to see that I have adrenal insufficiency.
