The year stigma was eliminated

Year ended 31 May 2022

Crohn’s and Colitis Relief guides and supports people with Crohn’s Disease or Colitis throughout England. This year, we ran a ground-breaking awareness event for parents and caregivers of children with IBD/S. We brought doctors and professionals to speak and saw much success in educating the community and reducing stigma.

At the event, many people came forth expressing interest in more support for adults with IBD/S. They are frequently bedridden and riddled with pain, all while putting on a brave face for the sake of their families. The stigma surrounding chronic illness means they often have no one to unburden themselves to, and certainly nobody in the same situation. They felt that monthly support groups would help them feel so validated, as well as giving them the opportunity to share tips and tricks for recovery and remission.

Next year’s plan is to run regular, in-person, support groups, and employ a support worker.

✓ Children in treatment can borrow keyboards and books to learn the instrument.
✓ Assistance in claiming DLA and PIP, including providing evidence of your condition.
✓ Therapy or coaching sessions for people going through treatment and their families.
✓ Dietary specific food for patients in hospital. We also have dieticians to advise patients.
✓ We stock a supply of Modulen and other supplies for times of emergency.
✓ Buddy and befriending system for children to get to know others like them.
✓ Provision of illness-related equipment, such as toilet installations, washing machines or freezers.
✓ Accompanying patients to appointments as patient advocates or interpreters as needed.
✓ Speeding up diagnostic tests and emergency appointments.
✓ Laptops are lent to hospitalised patients.

Thank you so much to CCR for lending me a keyboard when I was so sick. Learning to play the piano helped me forget about my pain and carried me through my toughest time. Music is my new escape.

Much appreciation for the outstanding awareness event last week – it’s high time we recognised how real and common IBD is, so we could be there for each other in times of need.

It’s unbelievable how something as simple as a cookbook can go the longest way. I was completely overwhelmed when I was diagnosed with IBS but CCR provided comfort, direction and of course the outstanding SCD cookbook, ‘A Taste of Wellness’.

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

The information is shown on page 1 of the financial statements and forms part of this report.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objects of the charity are the relief of sickness and the preservation of health especially Crohn's disease, colitis and all forms of inflammatory bowel disease and the advancement of education of those diseases.

Significant activities

Crohn's and Colitis Relief (CCR) was set up to improve the quality of life of people across the country affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as similar related illnesses. CCR primarily targets the Jewish Ashkenazi community where there is an exceptionally high percentage of people suffering from these diseases. Our work is dedicated to funding and delivering activities to support and relieve people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, and to improve their lives. Since a diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease can initially prove overwhelming for a patient and their family, CCR's dedicated group of volunteer support workers is available to help families to understand the condition, offer informed answers to questions and suggest further sources of support. The trustees are satisfied with progress made this year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial review

The trustees are pleased with results for the year. There was about a ten per cent increase in income. This enabled the trustees to give help and advice to more people suffering CCR and their relatives.

Reserves policy

The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves, other than to ensure that they can continue the activities of the charity. Reserves at the year end were £20,685 (2021 - £12,862) of which £8,812 (2021 - Nil ) were restricted.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Charity constitution

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 11 May 2017

Organisational structure

All trustees and the administrator act on a voluntary basis and receive no remuneration or reimbursement of expenses. The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the board. It is not the intention of the trustees to appoint any new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment induction and training procedures.

Risk management

The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate them.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Crohn’s and Colitis Relief ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
