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).

2. **Support:** To provide emotional and informational support for people with ADHD and their carers via telephone, email, social media and support groups. 

3. **Research:** Undertaking or funding research that will have a meaningful positive impact on those affected by ADHD 

4. **Advocacy:** Advocating for those with ADHD within Employment, Education, Government and Healthcare. 

5. **Awareness:** To raise awareness and understanding. Changing perceptions to remove any stigma and discrimination of those with ADHD.

## Report of the Trustees 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** 

## **Support Groups** 

We provide free (with the option to donate) peer-to-peer support groups throughout the month for those affected by ADHD. With the help of ADHD coaches and therapists, we provide trusted and meaningful support to all those who need it.. We strongly believe in reducing financial barriers between those with the condition and information that can help them. Therefore, to reach as many people as possible, these groups are held online and are provided at on a free-but-donate-if-you-can model. 

## **Community** 

We continue to have fast growing online communities. In particular our Facebook community allows people to connect with and learn from other people affected by ADHD. We have a substantial and active volunteer moderation team to whom we are very grateful. They work hard to ensure the community remains a safe and positive one. 

## **ADHD Screener** 

We have an adult ADHD screener available for download on our website which people can use to give an indication of whether they might have ADHD and would therefore benefit from further clinical analysis. This screener was created by the World Health Organisation alongside the Workgroup on Adult ADHD in response to the widely considered viewpoint that adult ADHD is under-diagnosed, meaning people with the condition are not getting the help they need. This screener is trusted and is in line with the diagnosis criteria for adult ADHD. We have now provided the ability to download a PDF of your screener results so that you can take it to your GP should you need to. 

## **Employer Support Services** 

We provide workplace presentations and management training to help employers best support their staff regarding ADHD. We also have a free ADHD workplace welfare pack to be used to support staff members with ADHD.

## Report of the Trustees 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

Our main achievements of this period were: 

## **Second Global Conference** 

We held our second global conference. Which was again the world's biggest ADHD conference. We saw registrations of circa 6000 people from nearly 100 countries The aim of the conference was to share the best of global learning on ADHD with the maximum number of people benefiting. It was therefore free to attend, with all donations being split between the participating ADHD charities. Videos of the different segments of the conference are available to everyone for free on YouTube. 

## **Website Information** 

We continued to expand the amount of information available to people on our website We are constantly looking to increase the amount of quality information we have. We do defer to quality rather than quantity. We have also added a "Give feedback on this page" link at the bottom of every single page to allow for community feedback and ensure our site and information is always the best it can be. The use of the website continues to grow exponentially, which has in particular meant server costs becoming significant for us. 

## **Media** 

We continue to be regularly featured in UK Media helping to raise the profile of ADHD in the UK. We are often asked to provide background and supporting information, as well as interviews and commentary. We have appeared in media pieces from organisations such as BBC, ITN, the Guardian, BBC, Sky News and many more.

## Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31st December 2023 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

ADHD UK has again experienced significant growth in its third year both in terms of income generated but importantly in the support it has been able to provide to those who suffer from ADHD. 

The Charity has been substantially reliant on donations from the public, receiving donations of £245,558 during 2023 (£110,716 - 2022). In addition, ADHD UK received funds of £6,041 from merchandise sales during 2023 (£11,660 - 2022). Investment income received in 2023 was £64 (£20 - 2022). The combined total income was £251,663 for the year (£122,396 - 2022). 

As the Charity grows, it has continued to expend resources on charitable activities. During 2023 it expanded its educational and coaching activities as well focusing more of its energies on support activities. 

In addition, day to day running costs have also grown, the most significant of which were the staff and IT costs. During 2023, the charity spent a combined £94,114 across its various activities on staff costs (£43,845 - 2022) and £25,484 on IT expenditure (£10,609 - 2022). This enabled the Charity to provide greater support and provide better awareness of ADHD UK and its activities. 

Fundraising costs incurred in the year were £64,153 (£38,503 - 2022), of which £37,747 was staff costs (£20,278 - 2022). 

Total expenditure on charitable activities in 2023 was £30,762 (£43,988- 2022). The reduction in expenditure was mainly due to the research grant made to the University of Glasgow in 2022 of £36,500, there being no comparable grant made in 2023. Overall expenditure in 2023 was £228,757 (£140,636 - 2022). 

ADHD UK continues to grow and increase its reach and scope of services that it provides. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover support and governance costs. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

ADHD UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), governed according to its constitution dated 5 March 2020. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustees are appointed by member vote. The board of trustees regularly reviews the skills and experience of members to ensure that, as the legal and operational backbone of the charity, the board is as strong as possible.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of ADHD UK 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of ADHD UK** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of ADHD UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 content 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. 

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.
