**THE VOICE FOR EPILEPSY** (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "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) (effective 01 January 2021). 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _Governing document/Constitution_ 

The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The charity was established by Constitution signed on 01 August 2018 and registered with the Charity Commission on 25 January 2019, under number 1181756. 

## _Tax status_ 

The charity is registered as a CIO and is therefore exempt from corporation tax and income tax. 

## _Recruitment and training of trustees_ 

The Board of Trustees currently consists of four members who were recruited due to their commitment and expertise.  Role descriptions, where applicable, are issued to each Trustee and a full induction is given setting out the obligations of a Trustee.  The list of current Trustees can be found on page 2 of this document. 

## _Organisational structure_ 

The Charity is principally based in Birmingham, UK but works with organisations across the United Kingdom.  The Trustees are responsible for the governance of the Charity, and the day-to-day management is performed by the Trustees and volunteers. 

## _Key risks and uncertainties_ 

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the Charity faces on a regular basis, in particular those relating to its operations and finances. They are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the charity’s exposure to the major risks. The risk management strategy comprises: 

- A regular review of the risks which the Charity may face; 

- The adequacy of current systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the strategy; and 

- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential risk on the Charity should any of those risks materialise. 

The strategy is reviewed regularly by the Trustees.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Aims, objectives and activities** 

## _Aims, objectives and intended impacts_ 

## Objects: 

To advance the education of the general public in the treatment and care of those with epilepsy by: 

The provision of educational workshops, training and awareness programmes and by any other means as the trustees in their discretion shall determine. 

## _Public benefit statement_ 

The section of this report above entitled ‘Aims, objectives and activities’ sets out the aims and priorities of the Charity. The Trustees have considered this matter, in conjunction with the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, and have concluded: 

- That the aims of the Charity continue to be charitable; 

- That the aims and work done give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector and both indirectly and directly to individuals in need; 

- That the benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way and certainly not by ability to pay 

- That there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities. 

## _Review of achievements and performance for the year_ 

By raising awareness around the issues and challenges surrounding the condition, The Voice For Epilepsy, wants everyone to know what epilepsy looks like and what to do if someone is having a seizure. 

During 2022, The Voice for Epilepsy undertook countless key activities to achieve their goal. Here are just some of our recent undertakings; 

**Amigo (Advisory members involvement, guidance and outreach Group): Public and Patient Involvement Engagement Day** 

The Voice For Epilepsy is an Amigo representative, sharing our feedback, insights and ideas to improve the research at the Systems Modelling and Quantitative Biomedicine at the University of Birmingham. Making science more accessible, so that research becomes more transparent, relevant and meaningful.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## _Review of achievements and performance for the year (cont.)_ 

## **Epilepsy Bitesize** 

The Voice For Epilepsy endorsed a new course designed to raise awareness and understanding of epilepsy amongst healthcare professionals. The course is produced by the Epilepsy Academy and the first session was recorded by experts in the field from neurologists to neuro pharmacists. It provides a well-rounded overview of epilepsy and explained professional understanding for those in neurology to support people living with epilepsy to live their best lives. 

## **Good Food Show** 

The Voice For Epilepsy attended the Good Food Show to raise public awareness of epilepsy as well as the benefits of suffers following a ketogenic diet. Over the four-day event duration, we reached out to over 40,000 attendees and offered our help and support to sufferers and their loved ones. 

## **Commonwealth Games** 

This year the Commonwealth Games took part in Birmingham. As the Founder of the charity, I became a baton bearer and a volunteer at the Coventry Stadium and the Alexander Stadium Birmingham and took part in the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. Throughout the eleven-day event, The Voice For Epilepsy promoted epilepsy awareness, removing associated stigma and positively challenging epilepsy suffers to live their best life. We did this through radio interviews, award nominations and local press, alongside a dedicated website page documenting the journey. 

## **Purple Day** 

On March 26[th] we held a global initiative dedicated to raising epilepsy awareness. Purple Day is an effort to get people talking about epilepsy and to let those impacted by seizures know that they are not alone. Purple Day is named after the internationally recognised colour for epilepsy, LAVENDER. 

## **Financial review** 

## _Principal sources of funding_ 

The principal source of funding for the Charity is from individual donors and Council grants within the UK. Voluntary donations and grants received this year for the charity came to £5,968 (2021: £1,061), with no other income source. Costs were kept under rigid control during the year and monitored regularly. 

## _Reserves Policy_ 

The Charity holds unrestricted funds which have been provided to the charity via donations and grants. Under the terms of the donations, the charity must retain the assets in perpetuity and can only use the income to support its charitable activities. 

The unrestricted funds represent income earned but not yet utilised in supporting charitable activities. At 31 July 2022, the charity held reserves of £6,689 (2021: £6,824).

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## _Going Concern_ 

The Charity reported a small cash outflow for the year of £185 (2021: inflow of £367) due to its awareness campaign activities increasing post-Covid restrictions but expects to make an inflow in the year to 31 July 2023. Despite the effects of the on-going Covid-19 restrictions on fundraising and project work, the charity having no financial commitments at present, means that after making further appropriate enquiries and gaining assurances over income levels, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and at least 12 months from the date of the signing of these financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Future plans** 

In 2023, we aim to set up support groups in the Birmingham area, connect with the community to find out how epilepsy affects them and their families and are they receiving enough support out there. 

Also: 

- More education and awareness in the form of leafleting, videos, puzzles, personal experience or lived experience; 

- PowerPoint presentations; 

- Supplying of anti-suffocation pillows to prevent deaths; 

- Looking into stats figures of people suffering from epilepsy within Birmingham; and 

- Finally look into the possibilities of an Epilepsy App.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities** 

The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income and expenditure for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and all other applicable law. 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. 

## **Accounts preparation** 

The Trustees confirm that the accounts comply with current statutory requirements, and with those of the governing instrument.

**THE VOICE FOR EPILEPSY** (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of The Voice for Epilepsy** 

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022 which are set out on pages 10 to 18. 

This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 and the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under charity or company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeks explanations from the Trustees, concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

**_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:- 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Act; and 

- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of the Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or 

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

**THE VOICE FOR EPILEPSY** (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

**_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 01 January 2021) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charity 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. 

The following principal accounting policies have been applied: 

## _**a)  Incoming resources**_ 

Income includes the total funds received during the year and comprises donations collected directly or by volunteers and income from fundraising events. Income is recognised in the year in which the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

Income tax reclaimable under the Gift Aid Scheme is recognised on an accruals basis once income is considered probable. 

Donors are given the option to restrict their donation when it is made. Any Gift Aid claimed on restricted donations is classed as unrestricted income. 

## _**b) Resources expended and basis of allocation**_ 

Expenditure is included when incurred and has been shown in the Statement of Financial Activities inclusive of non-recoverable Value Added Tax. 

Expenditure on operational programmes is recognised in the year in which it is incurred. 

Currently all costs are directly attributable to specific activities, but where required, certain shared costs will be apportioned to activities in furtherance of the objects of the Charity. 

## **c** _**) Funds accounting**_ 

Funds held by the charity are: 

_Unrestricted funds -_ These are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.

**THE VOICE FOR EPILEPSY** (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

**_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## _**d) Tangible Fixed assets**_ 

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated per the following rates: 

Land & Buildings - 2% straight line Equipment & Furniture - 20% straight line 

## _**e) 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. 

## _**f) Cash at bank and in hand**_ 

Cash at bank and 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. 

## _**g) 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 provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## _**h) Financial instruments**_ 

The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties. 

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

**THE VOICE FOR EPILEPSY** (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **_______________________________________________________________________________________** 

## _**i) Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty**_ 

In preparing the Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates. 

The directors consider that there are no significant areas of key judgement or estimation uncertainty other than those identified in the accounting policies above. 

## _**j) Going concern**_ 

The charity having no financial commitments at present, means that after making further appropriate enquiries and gaining assurances over income levels, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and at least 12 months from the date of the signing of these financial statements.
