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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 Section 1a) (effective 1 January 2020). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The objectives of the CIO are to promote and protect the physical and mental health of young people suffering from spinal cord injuries in the London and South of England by providing or assisting in the provision of equipment, facilities and services not normally provided by the statutory authorities. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** In 2021 the charity continued to bring in steady income from fundraising events despite continued disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were able to support our existing beneficiary network with activity-based rehab sessions at Neurokinex and also identified new beneficiaries. The charity is hoping to continue growing the beneficiary network in 2022 and look at new ways to support children with spinal-chord injuries. 2021 remained a tough year for fundraising with intermittent lockdowns affecting the ability to hold fundraiser events, particularly in-person. Despite this, the charity managed to raise over £4,000 from regular donations and fundraiser support. A notable mention to Tom Brooks who ran the London Marathon on behalf of Scinergise and raised a fantastic amount for the charity. Thank you Tom for your fantastic achievement. In 2021 the charities beneficiary network has grown to over 15 children with spinal-chord injuries. Oliver Carpenter, trustee, has continued to keep in touch with families to offer advice of dealing with spinal-chord injuries along with financial support. Due to the low overheads, the charity was able to distribute almost all funds raised directly to supporting beneficiaries. The charity is continuing it’s strong partnership with NeuroKinex who offer fantastic facilities for activity-based rehab. Looking ahead to 2022, the charity hopes to accelerate it’s ability to perform fundraising activities with events already planned. This will enable continued support to existing and new beneficiaries, and allow the charity to look at new, innovative ways to support the growing beneficiary network. ## **Scinergise Trustees Report continued…** ## **For the period ended 31st December 2021** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a charitable constitution, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
