2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


## **Financial Year 5:** 26th February 2023 - 25th February 2024 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Lyme Disease UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by a Constitution. 

Trustee decisions, including new trustee appointments, are only made following a meeting or electronic correspondence containing a quorum and only if a majority vote is achieved. Along with trustees, Lyme Disease UK’s daily running is operated by a core team of freelancers and volunteers. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The purpose of the charity is, for the public benefit, to prevent Lyme disease and support those living with the disease by: 

- **(1)** Raising awareness about the causes and dangers of Lyme disease and ways to prevent tick bites. 

- **(2)** Providing and publishing information about Lyme disease and where practical help and support can be found for sufferers. 

- **(3)** Making grants to fund research into Lyme disease and the treatment of the disease, provided the useful results of such research are published. This was not feasible in this financial year. 

- **(4)** Working with others to support improvements to the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, including to the national guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and care. 

- **(5)** Making grants to pay for personal care and other charitable short or long term needs of people with Lyme disease when possible. This was not feasible in this financial year. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The trustees continue to have regard for the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. We review our charity’s aims, objectives, and activities regularly and we feel our activities to date demonstrate public benefit as we strive to prevent Lyme disease and provide support for those living with the condition.

2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


## **Main Activities and Achievements** 

## **Online Support** 

Our Online Community of over **14,000** people continued to receive support on Facebook and we answered over **500** email tickets from people looking for information on tick bites and Lyme disease. 

## **Lyme Disease UK’s 10th Birthday** 

It was very satisfying to celebrate LDUK’s 10th birthday since the support group was first founded in 2013 by patients Louise Dean and current Chair, Natasha Metcalf. 


We looked back at some of our highlights over the decade including our first **patient story video** , which was viewed over **2,600** times and our **Scottish Parliamentary event** in 2017. We are proud to have been stakeholders in the 2018 NICE Lyme disease guideline writing process and that some of our criticisms of the draft guideline were taken into consideration. Launching our first ever ‘Wake up to Lyme’ campaign in 2018 was such a milestone and it has been so gratifying to see how much the campaign has grown over the years. Achieving **charity status** in 2019 was such a milestone moment in LDUK’s history and we are extremely grateful to have stayed afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic.

## **Successful ‘Wake Up to Lyme’ Campaign 2023** 

LDUK’s ‘ **Wake Up to Lyme** ’ campaign returned for another year and the campaign has continued to grow year on year. 

## **Awareness Packs** 

We dispatched **250** awareness packs during the campaign containing **20** leaflets, **20** tick cards, and **5** posters. So by our calculations, that’s **5,000** leaflets, **5,000** tick cards and **1,250** posters that were dispersed in local communities around the UK. We also welcomed orders from organisations for larger quantities of materials, sending out an extra **3,000** leaflets and **3,000** tick cards. 


## **GP Surgeries, Pharmacies and Healthcare Professionals** 

We were delighted to **display our awareness animation on 650 pharmacy screens** across the UK for the second year running. Thanks to incredible donations, we were also able to pay to display our awareness posters in **3,000** GP surgeries across the UK. 

Generating awareness amongst healthcare professionals is of the utmost importance to ensure that Lyme disease is diagnosed promptly and treated correctly. It’s crucial that all clinicians know the symptoms of Lyme disease to look out for and how to treat the infection as per the NICE Lyme disease guideline. 


We were excited to display the adjacent advert at the Primary Care & Public Health Conference at the NEC in Birmingham. This is the UK’s leading event for GPs and trainee GPs, physiotherapists, nurses, dietitians, and other clinicians working in primary and community care, with up to **6,000** healthcare professionals in attendance.

**‘ ’ The Mirror: Stay safe warning about rare disease on the rise in the UK, experts say.** 

## **Daily Mail: England’s Lyme Disease Hotspots Revealed.** 

We were honoured to be invited to write special features for a number of publications including the Royal Forestry Society magazine, Pharmacy In Focus magazine, the Lakeland Walker magazine, and the Professional Mountaineer magazine.

## **‘Wear Lime for Lyme’ Day** 

It was wonderful to see so many people getting involved in the annual **‘Wear Lime for Lyme’** day during awareness month. A big shout out to staff at CMS Group who donned their lime green apparel and to everyone who took part in our Pet Photography Competition and a shout out to our winner, Billy! 



## **Campaign Video** 

We relaunched our **‘Wake up to Lyme’ campaign video** from 2018, which has received an incredible **50,000** views on social media! Thank you so much to all of the patients who featured in the video and everyone who gave it a like and share this time around! 

## **‘Light Up for Lyme’** 

Our ‘Light Up for Lyme’ component of our campaign returned for another year and it was amazing to see a total of **20** grand venues illuminated in green in support of Lyme disease sufferers, which is a charity record! Thank you so much to all of the landmarks and organisers who took part.

## **Schools** 

We built a new **schools campaign page** on our website and invited **20,000** school leaders to take part in our awareness campaign via the Association of School and College Leaders newsletter. Schools were invited to enter our poster design competition for kids, and revel in the free online resources we offer for schools including an outdoor excursion checklist and ideas for lesson plans. 

## **Support from Politicians** 

Lyme disease patients urgently need the support of MPs and MSPs; both to promote tick awareness amongst their constituents, and also to bring forward discussion in Parliament around the need for advancements in the study and treatment of Lyme disease. Some key examples of support from politicians this month include: 

- Peter Gibson MP brought Lyme disease into debate in the House of Commons for the first time since 2019! Having been contacted by local constituent, Chloe Daly, who suffers from Lyme disease, Peter brought to light that advancements into the study and treatment of Lyme disease are urgently needed. 

- We received vocal support on social media from numerous MPs and MSPs including Michelle Thompson who highlighted the importance of checking yourselves and your pets regularly for ticks, and Marie McNair who gave a visual demonstration of how to remove a tick from a dog and took part in ‘Wear Lime for Lyme’ Day. 


- Several other MPs took part in ‘Wear Lime for Lyme’ Day by sharing our awareness information on their social media including Joe FitzPatrick, Alexander Burnett, Alexander Stewart MSP, Foysol Choudhury, and Alex Cole-Hamilton! Thank you so much to all for responding to the charity’s call to action!

## **Collaborating with other UK Organisations** 

We were thrilled to build new relationships with fellow charities this year who are keen to support our important message! Key collaborations included a multi-platform campaign with Mountain Rescue England and Wales, and inclusion in the quarterly newsletter sent out by The School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA). 

We were also included in the Mountain Bothies Association newsletter, and Trail Running Association newsletter. Many other charities gave us shout-outs on social media, including Ramblers Scotland and Facial Palsy UK. The charities, New Arc Wildlife Rescue Centre, and Surrey Care Trust, also requested our leaflets to hand out to their volunteers and visitors to keep them safe from ticks. 

We were grateful to receive ongoing support from various moorlands groups across the UK, sending out over **600** kids’ activities packs for the Estates That Educate education programme. 

## **The Bushcraft Show** 

We returned to The Bushcraft Show this year with LDUK’s Press and Community Outreach Manager, Julia Knight, and her husband John representing LDUK! They were also joined by LDUK member, Julie-Ann Gylaitis who also did a sterling job of raising awareness alongside Julia.

2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


## **Awareness Talks and Other Events** 

Some of our awareness talks this year included an in-person talk by Julia Knight to the Fleet U3A Health and Wellbeing Group and another one of our volunteers, Morven-May MacCallum hosting a charity stand at numerous events in Scotland. These included the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, the Moy Country Fair and the Nairn Highland Games. Morven-May spoke to thousands of visitors to her stand and educated passers-by on tick bites, prevention tips and the dangers of Lyme disease. 




## **MP Engagement** 

LDUK Online Community member Chloe Daly, and her mother Helen, met with their local MP, Peter Gibson, to discuss Choe’s battle with Lyme disease and the difficulties she faced with diagnosis and treatment. Peter Gibson MP raised Chloe’s case in the House of Commons. This was the first time Lyme disease had been mentioned in Parliament since March 2019. Peter Gibson MP then invited Lyme Disease UK to join him for a Zoom meeting to discuss how the charity can help to push for change in the way Lyme disease is diagnosed and treated in this country. Peter gave us an excellent insight into how to amplify our message and continue to raise awareness of Lyme disease. As a result, we created a website post detailing how people could request a meeting with their MP at one of their surgeries. We helped to prepare a briefing document and slideshow for Community members to take to their MPs.

2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


## **Coronation Street** 

We were so grateful that the Coronation Street script writers reached out to Lyme Disease UK to discuss a **storyline** for a child suffering from Lyme disease. We were grateful they wanted to portray a complex case so as not to portray the illness as hard to catch and easy to cure. Trustee Julia Knight is an ex-paediatric nurse and so she was the perfect person to assist the production team with the storyline. 

The charity saw a huge spike in website traffic as the story aired and we saw an uptick in people emailing our email support helpline. 


## **Charity Shop Launch** 

Following lots of requests for charity merchandise, we launched a print on demand **shop** on the platform, Teemill. The site provides a great customer experience, it is easy to add designs and it enables a high level of customisation. The shop has served us well with co-branded merchandise for Team Seasoar’s challenge when they row the Atlantic as part of the World’s Toughest Row.

2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


## **Team Seasoar** 


Lyme Disease UK thoroughly enjoyed being a part of **Team Seasoar’s campaign** this year as John Watling, Niall Brannigan, Sam Weber and Jason Wilder continued their gruelling training for the World’s Toughest Row and avid fundraising for the charity. Lyme Disease UK’s Co-Founder and Chair, Natasha Metcalf, joined the team in Weymouth with her parents to see their boat, Oardrey, for the first time. 


LDUK and Team Seasoar reunited in Wiltshire so that John Watling and his wife Azar could introduce Natasha to some members of the community in Lacock who were helping with local fundraising. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about the challenges Team Seasoar will face as they row **2** hours on, **2** hours off **24/7** for **6** weeks during the crossing from La Gomera to Antigua, during which they will battle **20** foot waves. Natasha was even shown the packets of dehydrated food the team will need to exist on during their **3,000** mile voyage. John shared more about the dangers of Giant Marlin strikes and the effect the trip can have on the rowers mentally and physically, as they prepare to lose **12kg** in body weight and burn **5,000** calories per day.

2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


The next day, Natasha and John travelled to St Mary’s School, Calne, who are one of Team Seasoar’s sponsors. The school also selected LDUK as their Charity of the Year. Natasha Metcalf gave a talk in chapel during the school’s Charity Week on Lyme disease, her personal story and the work of the charity. She felt so welcomed and embraced by the school and the Lacock community. Thank you to Team Seasoar and the St Mary’s staff, students and parents for all the impressive fundraising. In 2024, St Mary’s School, Calne raised over **£8,500** for LDUK! 


## **Other Fundraising** 

Scottish Woodlands raised an incredible **£4,000** with activities including their annual dinner dance, their Run Forester, Run challenge and pole climb at the Royal Highland Show. A huge thank you to all the staff at Scottish Woodlands for this stellar effort.

2023 - 2024 LDUK Trustee Annual Report 


The charity’s 2023 Great North Run team raised an impressive **£3,901** upon completing the race! A huge thank you to this year’s runners for taking on the challenge and raising so much!

## **A Look Ahead to 2024-2025** 

2024 sees the charity’s biggest ever ‘Wake Up to Lyme’ campaign backed by headline sponsor Team Seasoar and tick removal tool company, Tick Twister[®] . Our representatives attend awareness events in Scotland and Lacock and Natasha returns to St Mary’s, Calne as a guest speaker with John Watling from Team Seasoar at the school’s Founder’s Day. LDUK partners with national charity, Kitsquad, to ensure tick removal tools are included in their packs and that tick bite prevention tips are distributed. We welcome a host of new fundraisers and Natasha Metcalf and Joanne Lee from the charity team head to La Gomera in December 2024 to wave off Team Seasoar as they push off the dock and row across the Atlantic as part of the charity’s biggest ever fundraiser.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/ members of Charity Name** Lyme Disease UK 

**On accounts for the year ended** 25-Feb-24 **Charity number** 1182212 **Set out on pages** 1 to 7 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) pf the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

· examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, 

· to follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and, 

- to 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a `true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with 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 2011 Act, and, 

· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

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

## 1 **Basis of preparation** 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: 

the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and with the Charities Act 2011. 

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

## **1.2  Going concern** 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. There are no key judgements that the charity has made which have a significant effect on the accounts. The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a signicant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## **1.3 Accounting policies** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met. It is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to specific headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the t t Restricted funds can only be used for restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular purposes. 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **1.4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these The estimated and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future 

## **1.5 Material prior year errors** 

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period (3.47 FRS 102 SORP).
