Foreword by the Co-Chairs of the

Board of Trustees

It is a privilege for us to write this foreword in our first year as Co-Chairs of the Board. We step into these roles at a moment of profound change and uncertainty—but also a time of opportunity and determination across the global health and development landscape.

We are now in the second year of our five-year strategy, and the pace and complexity of the external environment have only intensified. Shifts in global leadership, the withdrawal of key donors from multilateral spaces, crises in funding for critical institutions such as WHO, and the cascading impacts of conflict, climate instability, and economic fragility have tested systems and stretched communities. These disruptions are significant—but they are also an acceleration of trends that our strategy anticipated. Because of this foresight, we have been able to stay agile, focused, and forward-looking.

This moment calls for renewed clarity and commitment. It is more important than ever that we harness the momentum of change to drive deeper sustainability, strengthen health systems, and promote true country ownership. The current funding crisis poses a threat to decades of progress—but it also presents a critical opportunity: to build new kinds of partnerships, to support greater resilience, and to rebalance power and resources towards the countries and communities most affected by disease and poverty.

Despite the challenges, there is much to celebrate. Over the past year, treatment numbers have increased, new funding has been secured, and we have expanded our research partnerships. These achievements are a testament to the dedication of our teams, our partners, and the communities we serve.

Looking ahead, we are embedding multi-year planning grounded in theories of change to ensure accountability and measurable impact. We are building momentum around health systems strengthening, domestic resource mobilisation, and a more integrated approach to One Health. These are not just strategic priorities—they reflect our shared vision for a future where progress is equitable, enduring, and led by the countries themselves.

We are grateful for the trust placed in us and for the opportunity to help steer this work during such a critical time. With humility and shared purpose, we look forward to what we can achieve together.

Report of the Trustees

The Trustees present their report, incorporating the requirements of a strategic report, together with the financial statements of Unlimit Health (formerly SCI Foundation - SCIF) for the year ended 31 March 2025. The report has been prepared in accordance with Part VIII of the Charities Act 2011 and constitutes a directors’ report for the purposes of company legislation.

The financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and comply with the charitable company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, applicable laws, the Companies Act 2006 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Our purposes and activities

Unlimit Health purpose

The objects of the Charity are, for the public benefit:

  1. To promote the physical and mental health of people and communities in any part of the world who are affected by neglected tropical diseases as defined by the World Health Organization including, but not limited to, parasitic worm infections, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis (collectively “neglected tropical diseases”).

  2. To relieve the needs of people and communities in any part of the world who are suffering as a consequence of neglected tropical diseases; and

  3. To advance the education of people and communities in any part of the world who are affected by neglected tropical diseases and the public with a view to reducing transmission and infection.

Our goals under our strategy 2023-2028

Our vision is ‘Resilient systems that sustain good health, so everyone everywhere can reach their full potential.’

Our mission: We share evidence and expertise to end preventable parasitic infections in affected communities.

To achieve the goals outlined in our five-year strategy, we have undergone several significant strategic and operational shifts. The strategy therefore included two transitional objectives to support the longer-term achievement of our strategic goals:

1. Develop a ‘precision public health for parasitic infections’ technical approach

2. Develop a health systems strengthening technical approach

Over this reporting period, we have incorporated the activities required to fulfil these transitional objectives into our broader operational plan; consequently, this report will not include specific reporting against these objectives. Detail on the transitional objectives was included in our previous annual report.

Enablers to reaching our goals

To fulfil our mission, we work in partnership to develop country-owned solutions that eliminate parasitic infections, for good. This involves delivering services under three key areas:

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 7

Our Values

We are a team of people passionate about creating a world free of preventable disease. It is important that everyone that works at Unlimit Health, as well as our partners and supporters, share the same values and beliefs:

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 8

Priorities set for the Reporting Period 2023 - 2024

In 2023-2024, Unlimit Health set out to deliver on its new five-year strategy, 2023-2028, launched together with our new name and brand in February 2023.

In the process of the development of the new strategy, it was acknowledged that the previous strategy had started on a path of broadening our work and focusing on cross sectoral collaboration and system strengthening. However, the new strategy is more explicitly aligned with the pillars of the World Health Organization (WHO) NTD road map 2021-2030, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals. The new strategy also articulates the way in which our goals and objectives contribute to the strengthening of the WHO-defined health system building blocks.

In line with our new strategy, our priorities focussed on the continuation of our provision of our technical strengths to countries across a variety of thematic areas, notably generating data to inform decisionmaking, refining strategies through an evidence-based approach and monitoring progress against global and national goals, in addition to effective cross-sectoral engagement.

Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the ways in which Unlimit Health delivers public benefit are explained in reporting on the Charity’s Achievements, Performance and Future Plans.

Grant Making Policy

Unlimit Health partners primarily with Ministries of Health to support the delivery of public health interventions in sub-Saharan Africa. Unlimit Health works with its partners to develop programmes and determine the financial support required. Annual contracts document the programmes and financial support to be provided. The financial support is referred to as partner awards or payments in the annual report.

(Part 3), with planning underway for two epidemiological surveys in the Malawi and Mauritania. Interpretation and dissemination of results were conducted with initial virtual meetings culminating in five country workshops which took place in Ethiopia, Cote d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zanzibar and Madagascar. Data generated by these surveys have been used to support MoH decisionmaking on optimising the delivery of treatments and other interventions and to demonstrate impact goals aligned to the WHO NTD Roadmap for 2030 and the WHO Guideline for Schistosomiasis and WHO M&E Framework for Schistosomiasis and Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis.

for a sub-study to assess the practical acceptability, usability and accuracy of weight estimation methods for drug dosing in the absence of scales.

Plans for the Next Period:

Unlimit Health’s continued approach of working directly with Ministries of Health to support public health interventions leading to the longer-term gains in eliminating SCH and STH as a public health problem has put the organisation in a very strong position to support the development of resilient health systems that provide health care for all, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals and the Universal Health Coverage agenda. As such, Unlimit Health will continue to:

Goal 2: Intensify cross cutting approaches to elimination and health systems strengthening.

Objectives:

1. Enhance integration and mainstreaming of elimination interventions and care into appropriate delivery platforms and routine health service delivery and information systems.

2. Support cross sectoral coordination and action at sub national, national, and international levels.

Key Achievements:

agencies and funders to discuss policy and funding needs for FGS integration into health services.

Health Days (iCHD) platform in Uganda: Due to a lack of resources to deliver over 10 million tablets of PZQ at risk of expiry, as an emergency measure the Uganda MoH opted to include the delivery of PZQ through their Integrated Child Health Days (iCHD) platform, a biannual campaign that supplements fixed-site routine primary healthcare service delivery with the provision of Vitamin A supplementation, deworming, immunisation, and growth monitoring and promotion at the community level. Unlimit Health secured funding from Merck, The END Fund and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to evaluate this approach, encompassing monitoring distribution, and evaluating the process, coverage and policy aspects of integration. Analysis is ongoing and results will provide important lessons for future integrated models in Uganda and elsewhere.

against NTDs reinforced this national network’s role as a strategic convener and influential advocate in global health policy.

Plans for the Next Period:

We will continue to be responsive to the changing global health landscape in which Unlimit Health operates, ensuring that our strategic direction remains aligned, and our operations remain fit-for-purpose whilst maximising efficiency and effectiveness. We will maintain a values-driven culture to ensure that our leadership and management remains equitable, transparent and inclusive. This is particularly important given the instability of the global economy and the impacts of International Development Aid. We will be conducting a mid- Term strategy evaluation in July 2025 to more formally review our strategic direction give the global situation.

forward-looking strategic framework aligned with the 2030 NTD roadmap. This leadership role positions Unlimit Health at the forefront of shaping the future landscape of global NTD collaboration, strengthening our influence in policy development and implementation while establishing innovative governance models that enhance the network's effectiveness and sustainability.

Financial review

We have realised an operational deficit of £2.01m (2024, £3.84m, deficit), which was in line with our Operational Plan. This means that Unlimit Health held total funds of £12.11m (2024, £14.06m) at year-end. These funds are made up of restricted funds of £0.30m (2024, £0.21m), unrestricted general funds of £7.25m (2024, £8.03m), and designated funds of £4.55m (2024, £5.82m) which the trustees have earmarked, and we will draw down over the next two years to fund specific programme charitable activities as outlined in the Operational Plan.

Unlimit Health received a total income of £6.80m (2024, £4.43m) due to a combination of factors. The income on some grants received in advance could only be recognised upon performance in accordance with the donor’s wishes. Some of our Ministry of Health partners continued experience delays with the arrival of donated drugs which prevented MDAs from proceeding as planned, and so Unlimit Heath could not spend in the country and recognise the corresponding income. These delayed activities will be carried out in the next financial year and therefore the corresponding income recognised also in the next financial year. We were not able to do any work in Sudan, and very little work in Burundi this year.

There was an increase of donations and legacies by £0.14m (2024, £0.83m, decrease). This was due to some unrepeated donations this year and suggests that we are overcoming the short-term negative effects of the rebrand on our visibility to prospective new donors. The Investment income continued to perform well, although investment capital growth stagnated due to the new tariffs declared by the USA government.

Unlimit Health spent £8.82m over the year (2024, £8.27m). There was a slight increase in expenditure, but we would have spent more in 2025 in line with the structured drawdown of the designated funds had the various Ministry of Health partners received their drug donations from WHO on time, but we could not implement the planned level of activities in Burundi. UH has reported supporting the delivery of 27 million treatments to date, in the 2024- 25 reporting period. As detailed above (Goal 1 Key Achievements) several treatment campaigns are still ongoing or delayed and therefore treatment numbers are yet to be finalised. We would have reported higher expenditures by partners had MDA campaigns been implemented as planned.

The financial year has ended with a strong balance sheet. At the year end, cash and cash equivalents were £6.63m (2024, £12.41m). Long- and short-term investments were £11.41m (2024, £11.34m). The total

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 24

creditors balance at the end of the financial year was £6.37m (2024, £10.08m), and £5.98m (2024, £9.85m) of the creditors balance is deferred income. Of the deferred income, £3.22m (2024, £3.94m) is earmarked by the funders for expenditure in 2026/27 and beyond.

Income Generation

In a challenging climate for both public and private financing for global health initiatives, it is encouraging that this year’s overall income from donations and new grants has exceeded the previous year’s total. An increase in income from Individual donors, Trusts and Foundations and Institutional funders has been counter-balanced, however, by a small reduction in income from Effective Altruism organisations, although relationships with our major EA funders remain very healthy.

Individual giving

Overall income from individuals, including major donors, was up on 23/24 by 6% to £570,000. This success was due in part to another enormously well-supported Big Give Christmas Challenge appeal, which raised £123,000 for an essential epidemiological survey in Malawi. It is also worth noting that after a gradual decline in overall donor numbers since at least April 23, for reasons which may include a reduction in brand recognition following our rebrand, the last months of 24/25 saw donor numbers beginning to climb again. We aim to turn this into a trend.

Effective Altruism

Income from EA sources continues to be significant and totalled over £560,000 in 24/25. This is a reduction of 13% on last year, however. One factor driving this reduction in income has been the withdrawal of support of two EA organisations – EA New Zealand/Aotearoa and Effektiv Spenden Germany - both of which have explicitly cited the withdrawal of the GiveWell recommendation as reasons for the change. Another factor is a small change in the number of very large grants which has a significant effect on overall income. EA grants comprise both small and very large donations from individuals.

We also note that the number of individual donations from EA sources has increased by 7% since the last reporting period. This suggests that we, and our EA partner organisations who raise funds for us, are succeeding in retaining and acquiring new donors to Unlimit Health. Our relationships with our major EA donor organisations are therefore looking healthy. We have engaged more closely in fundraising efforts with some of our major EA funders this year, in particular The Life You Can Save and Founders Pledge; for the first time, we ran a month-long joint fundraising campaign with The Life You Can Save in Australia and the US during December 2024, and our CEO featured in an episode of the Life You Can Save’s popular

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 25

podcast. We have also taken measures to increase our targeting of EA-focussed audiences in our communications via our website and social media channels.

Trusts and Foundations and Institutional funders

The Research and Innovation team must take huge credit for securing a very substantial new grant of $1,340,000 (approx. £1m) from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop sub-national monitoring and evaluation and treatment of schistosomiasis.

Other Trusts and Foundations continue to play a modest but important role in our restricted and unrestricted income, with increased grants from six warm medium-sized trusts contributing around £170,000 to overall income, and a new grant from the End Fund to support the distribution of praziquantel through integrated Child Health Days contributing a further £135,000.

Fundraising plans

Our fundraising objectives over the coming year are to increase total income from Individuals, Major Donors and Effective Altruism funders by at least 7%. The strategies we will use to achieve this include further adapting our communications to target potential donor audiences, continuing to engage closely with EA organisations and conducting an additional public-facing matched funding campaign in the UK, Australia and the US.

There have been recent very substantial cuts in Official Development Assistance (ODA) budgets in the US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Sweden which will impact overall ODA levels significantly. This situation presents very considerable challenges for the financing of global health and human development in Low Income Countries. We will continue to engage with multi- and bilateral funding institutions to ensure that, where possible, sufficient resources are available to support the elimination of preventable parasitic disease. It remains to be seen how alternative, private sources of philanthropy will respond to the challenge that receding official funding presents. We will continue to solicit support for our elimination agenda from Trusts and Foundations through several targeted approaches to qualified funders and, as the year progresses, will be increasing our approaches to sources of sustainable restricted funding.

Reserves Policy

Unlimit Health’s mission is to support the development of effective and sustainable systems that will eliminate parasitic worm infections. The public health interventions required to reach elimination, including treatment of at-risk populations, require sustained implementation over multiple years. The current World Health Organisation guidance recommends an initial 5-6 years of annual treatment before reassessment.

Unlimit Health maintains reserves to allow the Charity to continue to fulfil its objectives and withstand any period of financial uncertainty. Unlimit Health normally has two types of reserves:

The Trustees set a target level for unrestricted General Funds which the Charity aims to hold over the medium term for the above purposes. Such funds hence provide a measure of financial stability to the charity and thereby reinforce the reputation and ability of the charity to deliver on promises.

Each year the minimum level of unrestricted General Funds is reviewed by the Trustees and consideration is given to the following when deciding the level of funds required:

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 27

After careful assessment of the above, and in line with good governance practice, the Trustees have reviewed all identified risks and have concluded that the minimum level of Free Reserves (General Funds less Tangible Fixed Assets) should be maintained at a level that is higher than the cost of an orderly closure of the charity and falls between three- and four-months’ worth of unrestricted expenditure budget for the following financial year (between £1.31m and £1.75m) . The cost for an orderly closure is £2.03m. The costs for an orderly closure are higher than three- and four-months’ worth of unrestricted expenditure budget for the following financial year. The free reserve requirement for 2025/26 will therefore be £2.03m.

The Free Reserves as of 31 March 2025 was £7.24m which is £5.21m above the higher Reserve Policy requirement. There is a clear plan in place and the Trustees expect that there will be a structured draw down of the reserves to invest in programmes, programme development and our funding model as outlined in the 2023-28 Strategic Plan . The reserve level will continue to decrease in the coming years and will be in line our Reserve Policy.

Investment Policy and Performance

Investment Policy Summary

The Unlimit Health of Trustees has delegated investment decisions to the Finance, Risk and Audit committee. We have recruited CCLA Fund Managers, who are regulated by the FSA, to manage our longterm investments.

The objectives and policies of Unlimit Health investments are:

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 28

Unlimit Health has adopted an ethical investment policy to ensure that its investments do not conflict with its aims. Excluded are activities that have a direct impact on health e.g., tobacco and alcohol. Activities that have a direct impact on the environment e.g., illegal logging, and activities that undermine human rights e.g., sexual misconduct.

Investment Performance

CCLA Fund Managers manage two COIF Charity Funds' portfolios for Unlimit Health: The Ethical Investments and Fixed Interest. Over the year, the portfolio realised a Total Return Performance of 3.7% (2024, +8.7) compared to the +2.8 (2024, +3.4) for the Consumer Price Index. Although the portfolio realised w lower performance this year, it still outperformed the comparator.

Fund performance is shown after the deduction of all fees and expenses with income reinvested. Comparator returns are based on market indices which are not adjusted for management fees or expenses.

The Ethical Funds did not perform well this year and realised a capital loss of £143k (2024, growth of £302k). The Ethical Investment funds total return performance over 12 months to 31 March 2025 was - 1.46 %(2024, +13.11%) against +4.05 (2024, +16.72%) for the Fund Comparator. Although the margin of lower performance against the comparator has decreased this year, the fund comparator is continuing to outperform the Ethical Fund.

The Fixed Interest portfolio performed better and realised capital growth of £207k (2024, growth of £338k). The Fixed Interest funds total return performance over 12 months to 31 March 2025 was +5.82% (2024, +6.91%) against +6.71% (2024, +6.76%) for the Fund Benchmark. The Fund Benchmark outperformed the Fixed Interest Fund this year.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Risk management is central to the ability of Unlimit Health to deliver its objectives. We use multiple ways of managing risks through the Leadership Team (LT), Technical Team, the Finance Risk & Audit Committee (FRAC) sub-committee to the Board, and the Board. Central to this is a rigorous budget process with appropriate internal controls including only spending secured funds, with projects planned to optimise cash flow and value for money.

The LT meets regularly and monitors and reviews key risks. The Technical Team reviews programme risks weekly on a country-by-country basis as part of its routine programme monitoring activities. Discussions are held on monthly management accounts, quarterly re-forecasts, and formal reviews, that are then presented to the Board. These regular reviews ensure that ongoing expenditures align with Unlimit Health’s financial performance targets. In addition, actions taken in response to any issues raised during specific partner assessment or other review activities are implemented in other contexts if applicable.

The FRAC reviews risks, challenges and key financial management policies and assumptions on a quarterly basis. It ensures that the annual operational plan is adequately funded and makes recommendations to the Board for adoption. The LT interacts with the FRAC and implements the scheme of delegation on issues that need reporting to the FRAC.

The Board leads on the review and approval of the Risk Register. This helps Unlimit Health to identify and assess potential risks, and to develop effective mitigation strategies to ensure the needs of communities at risk of NTDs continue to be met.

Unlimit Health has identified the following key risks during the reporting period in the table below.

Structure, Governance and Management

Unlimit Health (formerly SCI Foundation) was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 17 January 2019. It was registered as a Charity (standard registration) governed by its Articles of Association by The Charity Commission on 21 February 2019. Previous to this, the SCI Foundation team existed as a unit within the Department of Disease Epidemiology at the School of Public Health, Imperial College London since 2002. Unlimit Health is a charity registered in England and Wales (1182166) and is regulated by the Charity Commission. In March 2023 the name of the charity was changed to Unlimit Health from SCI Foundation and Companies House the Charity Commission were informed.

Unlimit Health has a Board of Trustees committed to maintaining a high standard of governance. All Trustees are non-executive, are drawn from diverse, international backgrounds, and bring a broad range of relevant experience and skills. New trustees are appointed through an open and transparent recruitment process and an assessment of the needs of the organisation set out in a skills matrix. Trustees normally serve two terms of three years, although this can be extended under exceptional circumstances (such as where a skill cannot easily be replaced). The Unlimit Health board membership spans several countries, including Canada, Ghana, Mali, the US and the UK, bringing important global perspectives as well as health system expertise from the African region into deliberations. Board member expertise includes journalism, strategic communications, financial services, health programme development, medical practice, research, and technology, across the NGO, private and public sectors. The new co-chair of the Board, Professor Samba Sow, previously served as Mali’s Minister of Health and Public Hygiene, and is the current Director General of the Center for Vaccine Development in Mali (CVD-Mali) We have made Board of Trustee meetings more accessible by having three online and one in-person meetings.

Training of Trustees

Trustees are recruited for their specific skills and experience to meet organisational priorities and ensure a wide range of specialist areas. Training for Trustees is conducted in two ways:

  1. Trustees Induction: Each Trustee, following appointment, has an induction meeting with the Chair and the Chief Executive.

2. Safeguarding training: All Trustees are given induction on Safeguarding and one Trustee is nominated as a Safeguarding Trustee. The Safeguarding Trustee has oversight of and ultimate responsibility for a comprehensive set of policies, reporting processes and the organisation’s training plans that are led through the Finance and Operations Team. The Safeguarding Trustee works with the organisation’s CoLead Safeguarding Officers on both the ongoing Safeguarding processes and any incidents as they arise .

Performance of the Trustees both collectively and as individuals is periodically assessed, typically every two years, by an external agency.

With a small, focused Board of Trustees, most of the responsibilities of the Board are discharged by the whole Board, with standing items including:

The Board of Trustees also has separate committees:

The Board of Trustees delegates the responsibility for the day-to-day management of Unlimit Health to the Leadership Team (LT). Policy, strategic and implementation plans are prepared by senior management for consideration and approval by the Board of Trustees. The Leadership Team is comprised of the Directors of the five main functions:

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 33

Remuneration

Unlimit Health’s policy on remuneration is to ensure that the reward package offered to staff is competitive with other organisations in the international health and development field, to ensure that the organisation is able to recruit and retain high quality staff.

Remuneration is considered by a standing Board of Trustees committee, and in line with the Pay Policy, Unlimit Health also takes advice from an external human resources agency. The salary of the CEO is approved by the Board of Trustees and the CEO makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees with regards to the salaries of the Key Management Personnel (KMP).

The KMP is composed of the CEO, Technical Director, Director of Research & Innovation, Director of Funding & Communications, Director of Policy and Innovation, and Director of Finance and Operations.

As of March 2025, the total employment cost of the KMP was £604k (2024: £573k). The pension cost for the KMP was £33k (2024, £29k). The employment cost increase was due to cost-of-living awards.

All UK staff are paid at least the London living wage.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The Trustees (who are also directors of Unlimit Health for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income or expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 34

assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and the integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. In so far as the Trustees are aware:

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Unlimit Health

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Unlimit Health for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flow, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 38

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Interim Chair’s Foreword. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report).

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 39

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 34, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to charity and company

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 40

law applicable in England and Wales, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as Companies Act 2006, fundraising regulations and the Charities Act 2011.

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of improper journals to revenue. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements

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

  2. a. Basis of preparation: 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) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The subsidiary was dormant in the current and previous financial year, and so current year figures are for the charity alone.

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 note.

Preparation of the accounts as a going concern: Having reviewed the funding facilities available to the charity together with the expected future cash flows, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the charity's financial viability. Accordingly, they also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity, and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. No amount is included in the financial statements for general volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 46

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. It includes dividends and interest. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors, or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Costs of raising funds includes direct staff costs, external costs such as advertising and marketing and other costs associated with attracting voluntary income. Cost of raising funds also includes investment manager fees and costs associated with attracting trading income.

Charitable activities are for improving the health of the poorest and most marginalised societies in the world through the elimination of parasitic worm infections. We do this by supporting governments in subSaharan African countries to develop effective and sustainable programmes against these diseases. Costs of charitable activities include costs directly associated with delivering public health interventions such as mass drug administration that support the control and elimination of parasitic worm infections and an apportionment of overhead, support, and governance costs.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods. There are no estimates or judgements which the Trustees consider are subject to significant uncertainty.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: Office furniture, fittings and equipment, computer equipment.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements 2024-2025 | 48

rate for the month of the transaction; however, the rate on the day of the transaction will be used if it is significantly different. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling at that date. All exchange differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
