activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Primarily to hold educational events for
respiratory professionals from all disciplines,
to provide an opportunity to gain knowledge
on latest guidelines and topics and provide
an opportunity to liaise in person and share
knowledge of best practice across London
for those working in the field of respiratory.
These events were previously held prior to
PLAN being registered as a charity, the
funding for the events coming from pharma
companies and gave the companies
opportunity to meet/greet respiratory
professionals and share latest information on
available products.| |Statement confirming

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Charity was formally registered in November
2019. Prior to this the trustees had been
organising educational events for respiratory
professionals for 3 years across London.
These events were funded via money
directly paid to the venue from various
pharma companies. The members/delegates
attending the events had an opportunity over
lunchtimes to visit pharma stalls and get up
to date information on respiratory products.
The events would include speakers from
across London, different disciplines and
would provide updates on recent guidelines
as well as share best practice. In addition,
the event would give the members/delegates
an opportunity to meet other respiratory
professionals working across London to
share best practice. Prior events held have
had 100-150 people attending.
Sadly due to the COVID pandemic in person
events like this have been unable to be held.
In addition NHS staff have reported to
trustees that they would struggle to get time
off for educational events like this type
previously run. Pharma companies are not
willing to sponsor/fund online events as this
gives them no opportunity to meet delegates
in person therefore it has been so far not
possible to get any further events funded. As
trustees we need to consider how future
events would be funded and held. This
picture may change again once COVID has
significantly reduced.
Sadly since the COVID pandemic the
delivery of educational events has changed
significantly and we have been unable to
secure pharma funding for events as we
have done previously. The trustees need to
consider if it is viable to continue with the
charity or whether to close the charity| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||||| |---|---|---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
