## Trustees Annual Report 

## for the year ended 31 December 2022 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) for the year ended 31 December 2022.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the constitution 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). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The full name of the charity is International Christian Medical and Dental Association (UK) CIO known also as ICMDA (UK) CIO and is a registered charity (number 1188743). 

ICMDA (UK) CIO registered with the Charity Commission on 25 March 2020 and took over all the activities of the ICMDA (UK) Trust (registered charity 1059750) effective from 3 April 2020. 

## **Trustees** 

The trustees who have served during the year under review were: 

Marinus Verweij (Chairman) 

Deborah Lanz (Secretary) 

Vijay Aruldas 

Isaac Lewis 

Howard Lyons Henry Thiessen 

Kevin Vaughan 

New trustees are appointed by agreement of existing trustees from persons of suitable background, acquainted with the work of the charity, in support of its objectives and activities.  The induction and training of new trustees includes familiarisation with “The Essential Trustee: What you need to know, what you need to do” published by the Charity Commission (CC3 July 2015). No outside or related body is entitled to appoint trustees. 

The Trustees delegate the day-to-day management of the charity to the Chief Executive Officer, Peter Saunders, and his team. 

## **Relationship with the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA)** 

The charity acts as trustee for the cash and investments held in the UK for the benefit of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA). The trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of the charity. 

In order to promote close working between the ICMDA board and the trustees of ICMDA UK CIO, the charity has ensured a significant overlap between the two organisations. ICMDA board members Vijay Aruldas (Treasurer), Henry Thiessen (Chairman) and Howard Lyons are all trustees of both charities. However, there remains an intention that the majority of the UK CIO charity trustees are not ICMDA board members.

## Trustees Annual Report 

## for the year ended 31 December 2022 

## **Statement of the Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The charity trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity. In preparing the 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 UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- 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.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees have given due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission, including public benefit guidance. The CIO supports national and regional training courses and events for doctors and dentists all over the world ranging from a two-year international postgraduate diploma in family medicine through residential conferences, to evening or half-day seminars to weekly global webinars on a wide range of topics. Almost all of these events are open to anyone working in the medical and dental professions. We also support the distribution of literature and resources on a wide range of social, ethical and religious issues for the benefit of the wider public, and the medical and dental professions in particular. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objectives of the charity are to promote and advance the study and general knowledge of medical and dental science, particularly where these concern Christian faith and ethics.  The means of achieving these overall objectives include: 

- support for the organisation of conferences; 

- providing a conduit for national Christian Medical and Dental organisations to exchange information and experience in the field of medical science, where these concern Christian faith and belief; 

- examining and testing changes in medical thought and action by the principles of the basis of belief; 

- promoting discussion of the problems which from time to time arise for Christians studying and practicing medicine and dentistry and 

- promoting friendship and co-operation amongst Christians in the medical and dental professions throughout the world.

## Trustees Annual Report 

## for the year ended 31 December 2022 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

2022 has been an unusual year due to the continuing impact of the COVID pandemic which led to some restrictions on staff and fieldworker travel and the postponement of some national and regional conferences and events. This impact lessened throughout the year as the pandemic resolved. Staff and volunteers adapted to COVID restrictions by further development of hybrid training programmes, conferences, and events and through mixed home/office working. Grants to fieldworkers and conference bursaries and grants were also reduced. 

Two other activities impacting upon income and expenditure were the ICMDA World Congress planned for June 2023 (we ran a bursary fund and accepted early registration fees) and the Ukraine war (we ran an appeal to support the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine (CMAU) and procured and arranged transport for medical supplies). 

The charity has continued to support the work of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA). 

Achievements in the year included (through grants to ICMDA and partners): 

- Weekly global webinars were held focusing on issues at the interface of Christianity and medicine and attracting between 100 and 300 attendees per session from over 50 countries. 

- The two-year distance learning international diploma in family medicine (I-PGDFM) which was launched by ICMDA in May 2020 in partnership with CMC Vellore, India and Loma Linda University, California enrolled another 50 students in its third year. 

- Online small group training tracks in bioethics, leadership and apologetics started in 2020 were greatly expanded and new tracks added on thought leadership and healthcare mission. 

- Work on a new daily devotional – Doctors’ Life Support 5 – continued with plans for publication in nine languages in 2023. 

- One global fieldworker summit was held online for ICMDA’s fieldworker team, and an in-person summit was held in UAE. 

- The ICMDA website was further expanded and developed. 

- A series of grants were made to national associations of doctors and dentists providing humanitarian assistance for the war in Ukraine and about 50 shipments of medical supplies were sent. 

- National ICMDA member movements and ICMDA regional teams ran a broad variety of online events and conferences. 

## **Financial Review** 

The results of ICMDA (UK) CIO for the year ended 31 December 2022 are set out in the financial statements below. 

The Charity’s total income for the year increased to £3,465,362 (2021: £331,429) as a result of the Ukraine Appeal which started in February and raised financial donations of £456,657 (2021: £nil) and medical equipment and supplies “in kind” for humanitarian use in Ukraine valued at £2,600,357 (2021: £nil). In advance of the World Congress to be held in June 2023, £61,552 of bursary donations were received in the year (2021: nil). This level of income has taken the charity over the audit threshold this year. 

Total expenditure for the year similarly increased to £3,333,191 (2021: £207,082) as a result of including expenditure on aid for Ukraine of £368,093 (2021: £nil), donations “in kind” sent to Ukraine of £2,600,357 (2021 – £nil) and an increase in the charity’s direct charitable costs following the relaxation of Covid restrictions (note 4a). 

The excess of annual income over expenditure of £118,721 (2021: £124,969) is carried forward to fund charitable activity in future years.

## Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charity held unrestricted funds at the year-end of £351,021 (2021: £318,861). The trustees have set the minimum level of unrestricted reserves at £80,000, representing approximately one third of annual staff, office and field costs, to cover running costs in the event of a major variation of circumstances. Reserves are monitored monthly as part of our management reporting and did not fall below this level during the year, the increase in reserves is due to the level of expenditure planned for 2023 in particular on the World Congress and the ongoing development of our training programmes. 

Of the Charity’s long term unrestricted reserves £80,000 were transferred to an investment portfolio from August 2021 (note 7) these funds are accessible at short notice if required. 

No individual reserve fund is in deficit (2021 – none). 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees have assessed the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and considered several factors when forming their conclusions as to whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate when preparing these financial statements including forecasts, liquidity, cash resources and liabilities. 

The Charity’s financial position has been, and will continue to be, impacted by the COVID pandemic which affects the nature and cost of the charitable work undertaken in the year, including the deferral of international conferences and a significant change of focus towards online activity and training. 

The trustees have concluded that the charity has a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue to operate for at least 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements and therefore continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. 

## **Risks** 

The trustees review and assess the risks faced by the Charity annually in a trustee meeting, the key strategic risks taken from the Charity’s risk register are considered to be: 

|Key Strategic Risk|Assessment|
|---|---|
|Size|The Charity employs just two staff, both of whom are experienced in|
||their fields and key to the successful operation of the Charity.|
||Succession planning, procedural manuals and ongoing appraisal|
||reviews are key controls for the trustees.|
|Voluntary income|The Charity relies on donations and subscriptions for its income.|
||Delivery of the Charity’s objectives is essential to maintaining this|
||income and the charity. Communications with regular supporters are a|
||priority for the CEO and are regularly reviewed by the trustees.|
||The use of Appeals income to encourage donations and the successful|
||establishment of the Family Medicine Diploma reduce reliance on|
||regular donations and broaden appeal to supporters.|
|Event management|The Charity organises significant events, such as world and regional|
||congresses. These international events carry a financial risk that is|
||borne by the Charity and is a key focus of the trustees who review the|
||funding of each major event prior to it taking place.|
|External factors|The Charity operates globally and takes steps to monitor complaints,|
||media comments and feedback from staff and field workers. The|
||communication channels are key to ensuring the Charity CEO and|
||trustees can take action early to avoid conflict or hostile litigation.|
|COVID pandemic|COVID restrictions in the prior year caused the suspension of|
||international conferences, increased home working and online|
||activities. Online communications continue to provide opportunities to|
||enhance the global reach of the Charity after the pandemic.|

Ukraine Aid Appeal 

The response of our supporters to the crisis in Ukraine has been significant allowing the Charity to provide medical equipment, consumables and medicines to the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine (CMAU) which set up and operated a warehouse and distribution network in Lviv in March. This humanitarian aid resourced Christian doctors serving in Ukraine. This is a new area of work and the Trustees kept the risks under regular review.
