ENDOMETRIOSIS SOUTH COAST

## **Endometriosis** 

## _**Between 200 and 500 million people world wide have endometriosis (Endo).**_ 


This number is thought to be increasing as awareness increases, this may be because we know more about the condition and more people are being diagnosed correctly. At present, it is often thought of as a disease that primarily affects people of reproductive age but there is increasing literature that points to endometriosis affecting people before menarche and after menopause. 



**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
1 in 7<br>people *AFAB<br>have<br>Endometriosis<br>Costs the UK<br>economy<br>£8.2bn a<br>year<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


_**“Takes on average 9 years to get a diagnosis, and upward of 5 Drs to be listened to.”**_ 

The reason endo develops is still unclear, and treatment is inadequate, often resulting in putting a patient in chemical menopause using chemotherapy drugs, or a hysterectomy. Neither of which cures the condition and individuals often require ongoing care. Surgical and medical therapies that are available to people with Endo can be effective, however, there is a recurrence of symptoms at a rate of 20-50%, but this varies greatly between studies. 

   - In 2016, the National Health and Medical Research Council allocated £669,025 to endometriosis research, with diabetes being allocated £51.2 million, despite endometriosis having very similar prevalence rates to diabetes. 

- More than 75% of participants in one study have reported being absent from work due to endometriosis, on average 5.3 days out of the month, as well as 40% of women becoming unemployed due to the disease. Despite the prevalence rates of endometriosis being so high, there is very little research and funding to undertake large high-quality studies into the care and lived experiences of patients with endometriosis. 

- 82% of people with Endo were unable to carry out day-to-day activities due to Endorelated symptoms. 

- 95% of people with Endo said that symptoms impacted their well-being negatively. 90% said they would like access to psychological services. There are very few studies involving comparisons between different subgroups of the Endo community including different ethnicities, social statuses, and genders.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- 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 proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees 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.

## **Trustees’ Report** 

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Public Benefit** 

We intend to spread awareness through a variety of campaigns, utilising our following on social media, and in-person community groups and events. We also actively fundraise to enable us to help as many people as possible with support and resources. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The trustees refer to public benefit throughout this report. 

## **Introducing** 

Endometriosis South Coast is an inclusive charity set up to support people who haven’t started their diagnosis journey, are going through the diagnosis stages, or have been diagnosed with Endometriosis and/or Adenomyosis. We are also here for friends, family, and cheerleaders of the people that must jump through hoops to get started on the diagnosis pathway. 


We aim to create a safe space for all people with the condition regardless of race, gender, or religion. **This disease does not discriminate** and neither do the people who run this charity.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

During the 2024–25 financial year, the charity continued to maintain financial stability while strengthening service delivery. 

The organisation’s focus remained on sustainability and expanding support to beneficiaries through both in-person and online activities. 

## **Income and Funding** 

While total income has not increased, we believe this to be due to a decline in grant applications applied for by the Charity during the year. This resulted in further reliance on donations from the local community, demonstrating the trust and support of our community and stakeholders. We have continued to nurture these relationships, ensuring that our fundraising efforts are aligned with our mission and resonate with our supporters. Our goal is to further diversify our funding sources to ensure we sustain our financial position to reduce the reliance that the Charity currently has on donations from the community. 

## **Expense Management** 

Operating expenses have been carefully controlled, and through strategic planning, we have identified areas for cost-saving and efficiency improvements without compromising the quality of our services. This disciplined approach has enabled us to allocate resources effectively, ensuring that core programs and future research projects remain fully funded and operational. 

## **Program Impact** 

Despite the stable income, our commitment to our beneficiaries has not wavered. We have continued to expand the reach and effectiveness of our services, leveraging partnerships and collaborations to enhance our offerings. Our focus on community engagement has resulted in increased participation in our programs, reflecting our ongoing relevance and responsiveness to community needs.

## **Endometriosis South Coast** 

## **Future Outlook** 

Looking ahead, the charity is focused on maintaining our financial health while exploring opportunities for future growth. We are actively working on diversifying our income streams to reduce reliance on any single funding source. This strategy will not only safeguard our operations but also position us to respond effectively to changing circumstances in the funding landscape. 

Overall, while this year has seen income remain stable, the charity’s resilience and strategic focus have allowed us to continue making a meaningful impact. With a solid financial foundation and a clear vision for the future, we are well-prepared to navigate the challenges ahead and further our mission to benefit the community we serve. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

Reserves will be utilised for the furtherance of the charity’s objectives as set out on page 9 of this report. 

The minimum to be held as a financial reserve is £5,000 to cover 6 months of overheads. 

Whilst our reserves are above this amount currently Donors are entitled to be reassured that a charity with reserves has good reason for keeping funds in reserves: 

To anticipate future costs as outreach of support services expands and improves and ensure sustainability. 

An overview of the financial position is reviewed at all Committee meetings and the trustee directors review the reserves policy as and when considered necessary.

**The initial plan for the charity, which was developed from launch, has been successful.** We want to ensure the momentum continues, and ensure our growth and reach is carefully planned. We need to build on our previous successes and have a path for expanding our support and services. 

We aim to be a charity with sustainable revenue sources and provide a valuable service for our beneficiaries and the wider community – extending to health professionals so that they come to us for up-to-date, accurate information. 

Over the next three years, our strategy is to consolidate how we operate to ensure the charity remains at the heart of the South Coast communities and extend our offer and reach to our beneficiaries each year. 

We will do this using the following steps: 

1 

**Ensuring Trustees and volunteers are working effectively and collaboratively** , with clear guidelines, governance, and measurements for success. 

2 

**Producing clear information on terminology** so that all volunteers are informed and using the same language to describe all factors associated with endometriosis, adenomyosis and other related conditions. 

3 

**Enlisting ambassadors for the charity** amongst the health professionals from across the South Coast.

As the charity trustee of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
