(6) To increase awareness of cardiomyopathy and related disorders among the general public and the support and information available to people with cardiomyopathy and related conditions.

Achievements and Performance

During the year, Trustees were able to start their programme of charitable activity and produced a series of online clinical “Heart Muscle Talks” providing easy to access learning opportunities for cardiologist and others with an interest in cardiomyopathy. Talks were recorded and are available on the charity’s website at www.cardiomyopathy-icon.org

Trustees had originally expected to begin their policy development and strategic planning activity in 2021. By the start of the year, however, it had become clear that plans for this activity would still be delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as all trustees and the intended beneficiaries of activity hold front line roles in the NHS and other European health services.

Trustees’ annual report and financial statements 1[st] January – 31[st] December 2021

Trustees did continue to meet throughout the period to develop plans with these regular meetings also providing a valuable forum for trustees, who represent leading experts in cardiomyopathy throughout Europe, to discuss the impact of the pandemic on people with cardiomyopathy and how different health systems were coping with the needs of cardiomyopathy patients.

Future Plans

Trustees are confident that as the impact of the pandemic eases, they will be able to begin the work of developing national and international health policy positions as well as formalising the organisations long-term strategic plan.

Financial Review

There was no income or expenditure recorded during the reporting period. Since this reporting period, Trustees have been able to secure the support of a number of sponsors from the pharmaceutical industry. Trustees expect that income received in 2022 will be around £100,000.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is registered as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO).

The members of the CIO are its charity trustees. The only persons eligible to be members of the CIO are its charity trustees. Membership of the CIO cannot be transferred to anyone else. Any member and charity trustee who ceases to be a charity trustee automatically ceases to be a member of the CIO.

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of 3 years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
