## **Cure Myotonic Dystrophy UK Charity (CDM) (CIO) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES: 6[th] April 2022 to 5[th] April 2023** 

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5[th] April 2023. 

## Reference and Administrative Details: 

Charity Number: 1191217 Registered Address: c/o Riverside View, Station Rd, Whitton, North Lincs, DN15 9LR 

Directors and Trustees: The currently registered Trustees are: 

Emma-Jayne Ashley, Peter Ashley (Chair), Stephen Uncles, Dr Alison Kay (all sitting as first trustees). Liam Garwood and Tamsyn Tait (as of 4[th] Jan 2023). 

There must be at least three (3) charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee. Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

## Objectives, Activities, Achievements and Performance: 

The objectives of the CIO are: 

_**To preserve and protect good health among, and relieve the needs of, people living with Myotonic Dystrophy, their families and carers, in particular but not exclusively by:**_ 

_**(a) providing information, help and support to such people and their families and carers;**_ 

_**(b) making financial donations to support organisations and individuals carrying out research into Myotonic Dystrophy, the useful results of which will be published for public benefit; and**_ 

_**(c) raising awareness of Myotonic Dystrophy within the general public, medical and scientific communities.**_ 

Raising funds is always high on our priority list. Financial income for this period came from donations and fundraising, the community, sponsorships, grants, and donations from CureDM Ventures CIC. The Board of Trustees have regular updates/meetings, and an annual AGM (which is the main source of future Charity planning). 

## Services were maintained in the following areas: 

The return to in person events, consultations, and conferences. Discussions between all stakeholders were held in person, and via continued utilisation of virtual meetings.

- Facilitated group events at Disney on Ice in Nov/Dec 2023, in 3 venues around the UK, for 16 families living with Myotonic Dystrophy. 



- Delivered support, advice, and assistance virtually and in person to the Myotonic Dystrophy community, dealing with the queries or passing them on to an appropriate person or organisation.

- Supports work in advancing Palliative and End of Life provision for the DM community. 

## Fundraising: 

- Fundraising events included online campaigns and personal fundraisers/donations. 

- Grants and sponsorships were received to support conference attendance, admin support and the running costs of the charity, enabling us to use personal donations for community support and facilitating research (ringfenced if specified). 

- We continued to receive generous donations from people fundraising on our behalf. 

- In memory donations received. 

- CureDM trustees organised and ran with the team for Great North Run 2022 raising over £9600. 

## News and information: 

The charity facilitates a private social media group, and a public charity page on Facebook. Also utilising Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts. CureDM have a YouTube page to share community videos and charity presentations. These are platforms for sharing articles, peer support, sharing experiences and ideas. Information is shared on research progress and other matters impacting families of disabled children and adults. There is also a website used to keep families up to date with news and events. The 2022/2023 Impact Report was published and is attached to this Trustee report. 

## Stakeholders: 

- Charity stakeholders are those affected by Myotonic Dystrophy, their families and carers, those involved in running the Charity, volunteers and those fundraising or raising awareness, the clinicians, researchers and drug developers that engage with and benefit from our work. 

- Support, events, and fundraising opportunities are proposed and discussed by stakeholders. Consultations take place regularly in meetings with families, during business meetings and conferences and online via e-mail and social media. 

- When deciding on future peer support get-togethers, the activities, meet up plans, venues, dates, and itineraries are planned around consultation with the potential users themselves. Plans are made to include as many people as possible, whilst making efforts to reduce attendee bias and ensure those who have not been able to attend previously are accommodated. 



- Day-to-day decisions are made with consultation between trustees, volunteers, and community members. 

- Strategic or significant financial decisions, such as activities or proposals for research funding, are made following consultation with all trustees, who all have significant knowledge and experience of the conditions, support for others, charitable work, and fundraising. 

- Research/Grant funding requests are approved following consultation with the trustees to determine the most appropriate use of funds. 

## Events: 

The charity endeavours to facilitate social events where families can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere whilst sharing their experiences. Events are aimed to facilitate peer support, family memories and encourage the sharing of knowledge to improve day to day quality of life. 

## Review of Public Benefit: 

In setting out the objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have carefully considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Face to face events were reinstated with provision in place to keep community members as safe as possible after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

## Future Plans: 

CureDM continually strives to expand services to meet growing demand, in a planned and financially prudent way, ensuring all projects stand on a sound financial footing and that the Charity moves forward and grows, but does so responsibly. 

## Income/Expenditure: 

The restrictions necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the vulnerability of the community/families caused a delay in planned social/peer support activities (days out, holidays etc.), normally at the core of the Charity’s work. Careful planning allowed these events to begin again, showing as an increase in expenditure for this financial period. 

It is the belief of the Charity that funds should be used to fulfil the charitable aims as available, and not to accrue a large unused credit which could otherwise be used to benefit the community we serve. 

## Investment powers and policy: 

The CIO has power to do anything which is calculated to further its Objects or is conducive or incidental to doing so _,_ as laid out in the Constitution. 

## Reserves policy: 

The state of the economy and resulting downturn in donations received means sufficient reserves may need be held to ensure the future running of the charity. There is no policy to date in place dictating reserve amounts. The Trustees carefully monitor the finances to ensure adequate funding is available for the continuation of services and financial obligations. 

## Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document: 

Cure Myotonic Dystrophy UK Charity (CDM) is a registered charity (charity number 1191217), which achieved registered charity status on 9 September 2020. 

The CIO is governed by Constitution of Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation Structure). The CIO is registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

Ongoing Support
This year, like every year, we make efforts to let children and their
families, carers and guardians know we are thinkins of them and follow
their journeys as much as possible. We try to offer emotional support and
inforniative advice whenever we can. Many of the CureDM community
face daily challenges such as the shock of diagnosis, illness, and often
being in hospital. We hope, through our network, we can help support
one another and let you know you are not alone.

Events of 2022
Families Day - Alton Towers - July
We were able to organise an incredible farnily day to give
families affected by CDM the opportunity lo enjoy the theme

carers, and guardians acrogs the UK the opportunity lo meet
face-to-face and offer a safe space lo connect with other5
familiar with the IqSu￿ of caring for chIld￿n a(l￿ted by
CDM. We received lots of lovely feedback aiK)Uthow much
