2023 Annual Report
Chair’s Foreword
Chair’s
Foreword
Welcome to the Trinity Challenge annual report for 2023. We are excited to share our progress.
The Trinity Challenge supports the creation of data-driven solutions to help protect against global health threats as we believe data and analytics hold the key to building effective, affordable, and scalable solutions to current and future pandemics and health emergencies.
In this report, we highlight the progress made by our eight exceptional winners of the inaugural Trinity Challenge and, with post-award support from our partners at Jhpiego, their solutions have progressed to bring benefits to public health within expanding communities.
We are also proud to report on the launch of our second Challenge on a topic that is very personal to me, the grand pandemic of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). As the UK’s Special Envoy on AMR, I am constantly striving to find new ways to fill gaps in knowledge towards improving policy and action to mitigate AMR across the world.
The Trinity Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance does just this. With anchor funding from The Wellcome Trust and generous contributions from various

partners, we are focusing the Challenge on innovation and integration of data in community settings of low- and middleincome countries, across the One Health 1 spectrum.
Forthcoming solutions will help us to direct context-specific policy and action to mitigate AMR, rather than relying on the main body of existing data, which stems predominantly from hospital and industry settings in high-income countries. The charity has engaged with potential applicants mainly through workshops to stimulate applications and increase advocacy and awareness for this public health priority.

2023 Annual Report
Chair’s Foreword
In September 2024, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will host the 2nd high level meeting on AMR (AMRHLM). The first AMR-HLM in 2016 catalysed the formation of AMR national action plans, which have directed policy and action at a country level. As for so many policy issues, the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the momentum of the global AMR response as countries tackled the singular challenge. The 2024 AMR-HLM is an opportunity to reaccelerate advocacy and action towards mitigating this grand pandemic that is a threat to our health, food, and environmental security. We hope that the winners of TTC will play a key role in creating change within low- and middleincome countries.
Finally, I want to thank everyone who has made the inaugural challenge a success and continues to support the second challenge as a focal point for innovation in AMR. A special thanks to our donors, partners, and past and future applicants, without whom, none of this would have been possible.

About The Trinity Challenge
About The Trinity Challenge
Who We Are
The Trinity Challenge is a charity supporting the creation of data-driven solutions to help protect against global health threats.
Our Vision For Change
We believe data and analytics hold the key to building effective, affordable, and scalable solutions for current and future pandemics and health emergencies.
Our Mission
We support data-driven solutions that will help the world prepare for and respond to global outbreaks and health emergencies. We’re committed to working with governments, individuals and organisations across the world, to help improve our resilience against current and future threats to global health.
Our Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in millions of excess deaths across the world. It has not affected countries and communities equitably. Those living in impoverished conditions and with the most fragile health systems have borne the brunt of its effects. COVID-19 has demonstrated how unprepared we were for a pandemic, and the impact on our socio-economic systems has underscored the need for collective action now, to be better prepared in the future.
We believe that through working together we have the means to ensure that global health threats, which disrupt and destroy lives and livelihoods across the world, are less catastrophic. We understand that solutions can only be created through collaboration. It is our goal to bring together different ideas, insights and approaches from around the world.
We recognise the critical need to create collaborations between data science, public health, and policy to better protect our populations and respond effectively to health crises. More importantly, we are committed to finding solutions that could be applied to resource-constrained settings, and thus have a chance to create sustainable impact where it is most needed.

Challenges
The Trinity Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance
Following an award from the Wellcome Trust, in 2023 the Trinity Challenge developed and launched its second Challenge: The Trinity Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance.
The Challenge is a call to action for the world’s best and brightest minds to contribute ideas and data-driven innovations that will protect the power of antibiotics. Funding of up to £1 million will be made available to support the multidisciplinary teams that demonstrate the greatest potential to reduce the impact of antibiotic-resistant infections by harnessing the power of data from communities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The Challenge has three areas of focus: innovation, integration and implementation.
Innovation
to identify new sources of data, collection, and analysis
Integration
of existing and novel data sets with citizen-related data
Implementation
of more effective policy and action on antimicrobial resistance by using these tools

Fundraising
We were delighted to work with MIT Solve again to deliver this challenge. This partnership enables us to reach a strong network of thousands of innovators across the world, for teams to submit and showcase their solutions on the MIT Solve platform, and for a robust scoring and judging process to take place. TTC also worked closely with an Expert Advisory Group to develop the Challenge’s framework and application questions. The group included experts from across the world in surveillance, microbiology, epidemiology, environment, pharmaceutical, digital health and policy.
The Challenge was launched globally through our networks, partners, and on social media in November 2023 and applications close on 29th February 2024.
The Trinity Challenge launched successfully and will be reported on in the 2024 Annual Report.
Our fundraising efforts have focused on institutional donors, corporations, and trusts and foundations. Our aim was to raise money for the operational costs of the charity, the Challenge prize fund, post-award innovation support for winners, and wider advocacy activity.

The Inaugural Trinity Challenge
The inaugural Trinity Challenge was launched in 2020 to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, which highlighted a global need to be better prepared to tackle healthcare emergencies.
This inaugural Challenge asked teams to deliver data-driven solutions to predict, respond to and recover from pandemics. It led to the creation of 40 coalition partnerships, with applications from 340 teams across 60 countries. An overall prize fund of £5.7 million was distributed, with £1.3 million going to the top project, £1 million to an additional two projects each and a further five initiatives receiving £480,000 each.
Support of these projects continued throughout 2023, with one concluding during the year (VaccineLedger) and the remaining seven continuing to deliver against their grants through to 2026 at the latest. A summary of the support and impact of each project is provided in the following pages.

Innovation Support Delivery Partner
Following their appointment in 2022, our Trinity Challenge delivery partner Jhpiego continued to provide post-award monitoring and innovation support throughout 2023 to the winners of the inaugural Trinity Challenge. Jhpiego is a nonprofit affiliate of Johns Hopkins University and has over 50 years of experience in global health, working in 36 countries on 233 programs with around 3,900 staff worldwide.
Jhpiego’s core acceleration team continued to assess the winners’ needs on an ongoing basis and customised their support to each project accordingly. This support continues to evolve as projects develop and scale. The winners have been provided with access to knowledge and expertise through connections to Jhpiego mentors, thematic workshops, a monthly digest with information on funding opportunities and global health updates, connections to relevant global health experts, and strategic advice.
In May 2023, on advice from the Advisory Board, an online Innovation Showcase was held - with an invited audience of public health leaders. The event featured presentations from awardees and Q&As, designed to highlight the successes, challenges and future support needs of each project after 18 months of operations, and stimulate further collaboration between participants. Notably, the showcase led to introductions between innovators and new investors, and Khushi Baby secured a $1 million award from the Skoll Foundation as a result of the event.
Jhpiego monitors the award agreements with the winners and provides detailed reporting on progress to the Trinity Challenge board on a quarterly basis. During 2023, the winners made excellent progress towards their goals as outlined in the following pages.
A Strategic Advisory Board was established comprising global health experts in forecasting and outbreak analytics, pandemic preparedness, and global health innovations. They provided winners with feedback on innovation progress and guidance on the kind of evidence that will build confidence among large ecosystem players as well as technical and strategic advice on how to identify and address barriers. Furthermore, they shared perspectives on financing and scale opportunities.

PODD: Participatory One Health Disease Detection
PODD is a surveillance project that aims to control the spread of zoonotic diseases that could possibly infect humans and cause economic losses. The project was initiated based on studies that showed that an effective disease surveillance system that is capable of controlling infectious diseases in both humans and animals in a timely manner would largely reduce both the health and economic costs to the community. The PODD team have developed a free app that can be downloaded to an inexpensive Android phone by farmers and livestock owners. This turns them into disease detectives, allowing them to take photos of sick animals and send them to local government agencies, who take action. Symptomatic animals are separated from the rest of the herd – thus saving livelihoods – while symptoms that appear in proximate humans can also be tracked for signs of zoonotic disease crossover.
Post-Award Impact 2023
In 2023, PODD’s One Health Toolkit (OHTK) was adapted to diverse structures, geographical landscapes and country settings and now supports multiple languages (including English, Thai, Lao, Khmer, Spanish, French and Burmese) for both Android and iOS devices (OHTK Mobile for Android, OHTK Mobile for iOS). In Thailand, 376 Local Governments (LGs) actively use the PODD system for various needs including PM 2.5 (air pollution) alerts and one health surveillance for animal sickness/death and human health purposes. In 2023, there was a 136% increase in the total number of PODD reports in Thailand with 8,311 reports in 2022 and 19,600 reports in 2023. PODD was also successfully installed in Lao PDR across five provinces, representing 10 districts, 250 villages and 500 volunteer reporters. PODD will focus future efforts on continued expansion in Thailand, Lao PDR and Myanmar in 2024.

Blood Counts!
Early detection of infectious disease outbreaks is paramount for effective public health measures. Blood Counts! is developing machine learning algorithms to screen the data from the 3.6 billion Complete Blood Count (CBC) tests performed globally each year for signals of infectious disease outbreaks and for earlier diagnosis of non-infectious conditions. After reporting of high-level summary results which clinicians use to diagnose and treat patients, the Rich CBC (R-CBC) laser measurement data held in the diagnostic machine’s ‘black box’ is usually discarded after a week. This project is looking at how these data points could be used to detect infectious diseases using machine learning models.
Post-Award Impact 2023
The BloodCounts! ethics protocol was given full approval by the UK Health Research Authority and was approved by Cambridge University Hospitals and University of Cambridge. Apollo Hospitals in India, MRC The Gambia, and UZ Leuven have also submitted local ethics applications. The Consortium Agreement between Founding Parties has been fully executed and shared with additional consortium members. Data collection across the consortium is underway and local secure environments are being identified for data storage and analysis within the federated learning environment. The team also initiated thematic working groups that reflect the scientific interests of the consortium around other applications for this technology, e.g. infectious diseases (COVID-19, malaria, influenza), cardiovascular disease, Leukaemia, pregnancy (preeclampsia), kidney cancer, sepsis and blood imaging. The second BloodCounts! Consortium workshop took place at the MRC The Gambia Unit in December 2023. This provided an opportunity to discuss the research programme, better understand potential challenges in LMICs, and to visit the Ghanaian partner site.

Our Challenges
The Sentinel Forecasting System
The Sentinel Forecasting System is a freely available information platform that will support national and regional public health decision makers to continuously integrate human and animal surveillance data with ecological and genomic data to forecast disease risk – starting with Lassa Fever – in real-time or near real-time. By integrating this solution into the public health systems of Nigeria and other West African countries, officials will manage outbreaks more easily but also, by understanding present and future spillover risks, intervene to prevent or mitigate outbreaks on the ground.
Post-Award Impact 2023
The Sentinel Forecasting System hosted a multi-stakeholder colloquium on ‘Lassa Fever Risk, Control and Policy’, which was co-designed with Nigeria CDC and held in Abuja in May 2023. The user requirements and objectives of the Sentinel platform were informed by participatory workshops on understanding and addressing challenges in reporting and data systems, as well as on using data and forecasts to support decisions. The team further developed the forecasting (climate-driven prediction with 2-3-month lead time) and nowcasting (detailed spatial mapping of Lassa risk) models to improve predictive accuracy, including use of new ecological data sources. The team also participated in the US CDC’s West Nile Forecasting Challenge as a testbed for development of modelling methods and codebase to apply to the Lassa fever platform. Moving into 2024, they will continue co-development of Sentinel platform with Nigerian stakeholders.

Medshr Insights and Early Warning System (EWS)
MedShr was set up to improve healthcare and save lives through peer-to-peer learning and shared knowledge among health workers. Developed by doctors, MedShr is an easy and safe way for medical professionals to discover, discuss and share clinical cases and medical images. The community of over 2,000,000 members worldwide enables connection with verified doctors, healthcare professionals and medical students sharing knowledge and learning from each other in a private, professional network. MedShr Insights and Early Warning System (EWS) aims to improve the understanding of infectious diseases and identify outbreaks and potential future pandemics using medical natural language processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Post-Award Impact 2023
MedShr continues to grow at 40k users per month, with an expanding LMIC footprint (900k health workers trained) to enrich their global data . Key components underpinning the MedShr Insights platform were connected in 2023, including Proprietary MedShr Named Entity Recognition Medical Natural Language Processing (NLP), developed specifically for analysing unstructured physician conversations; interactive data visualisations that users can explore, including co-occurring terms, intersecting terms and map visualisations; and Therapy Area reports, which is an important staging post in developing MedShr EWS. MedShr was selected to participate in Validate Global, an accelerator program led by Impact Hub Vienna and INiTS, with funding support from the Austrian Development Agency supporting entrepreneurs to explore and validate new markets in Ghana, Nigeria or Rwanda .

Khushi Baby
Khushi Baby ties tradition with technology to uplift community healthcare for underserved populations in rural India. They are the Nodal Technical Support Partner to the Department of Health in Rajasthan. Their vision involves scaling across India and building a digital integrated community health platform which covers all national programs. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are provided with a suite of digital solutions – including GIS dashboards for community-based surveillance, longitudinal referral systems, algorithms for CHW decision support and automated patient engagement.
Post-Award Impact 2023
By the end of 2023, Khushi Baby’s Community Health Integrated Platform (CHIP) had emerged as Rajasthan's flagship for tracking primary health care. To date, 45M people have been registered on the CHIP platform, with over 41M health surveys completed across 40K villages, and 5.6M high-risk patients identified by 70K community health workers (CHWs). CHIP was used to support multiple primary health care vertical programs, improving data-fordecision-making culture at the Rajasthan State Dept of Health and Family Welfare, as well as develop the first village-level multidimensional poverty index and climate health vulnerability map (CHVM) across an entire state using data collected directly from CHWs. Khushi Baby was recognised for its Climate Health Vulnerability Mapping solution by MIT Solve, and the Rajasthan National Health Mission formally designated CHIP as the first point of entry for CHWs. The team hosted its second annual stakeholder summit: "Converting Gains in Public Health into Transformative Public Health Impact” in New Delhi in December 2023. Twenty-five partner organisations and more than 150 participants attended.
Additionally, Khushi Baby secured $2.96 million additional funding in 2023, including $1 million from the Skoll Foundation. Khushi Baby will continue its journey to becoming India’s largest and most impactful digital health platform for community health in 2024 by scaling to Maharashtra and Karnataka.

DiSenDa: Disease Surveillance with Multi-Modal Sensor
Network & Data Analytics
DiSenDa is a disease surveillance system that detects pathogens in air and water through continuous passive monitoring by wireless sensors, enabling rapid detection of diseases up to one week before cases of illness present. This project focuses on creating a lowcost, multi-modal wireless sensor network, enabled by real-time data analytics, to track disease transmission and outbreaks in human populations and environments. This early warning disease surveillance system can be used for surveillance of COVID-19 and other pathogens in low-income communities.
Post-Award Impact 2023
At the core of the DiSenDa system are two patented sensing technologies: the acoustic wave micropillar (CAWM) sensor for wastewater detection and the e-Nose sensor for air detection. In 2023, the team continued to iterate on the design, build and assembly of the CAWM platform for SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater samples. The eNose sensor was tested at the San Diego zoo to evaluate the effectiveness in detecting airborne pathogens in animal enclosures. The exercise provided the team with key insights on deployment, logistics (e.g., how/where to mount sensors safely, recording readings autonomously and continuously, data acquisition/reliability, etc.), and the eNose team will continue working on hardware to include autonomous detection capability to the sensor. The DiSenDa team published a manuscript on "Novel, accurate pathogen sensors for fast detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the aerosol in seconds for a breathalyzer platform” in Biosensors and Bioelectronics, and they also presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Risks Analysis in Washington, DC in December.

Living Goods: Supporting Digitally Enabled Community Health Workers to Strengthen Health Systems
Living Goods aims to save lives at scale by supporting digitally empowered community health workers, collaborating with governments and partners to leverage smart mobile technology, strengthen performance, and relentlessly innovate to cost-effectively deliver high-quality, impactful health services.
Post-Award Impact 2023
In Kenya, Living Goods continues to work at county levels to operationalise community health services bills (circa 20 counties in Kenya now have community health bills, seven directly supported by Living Goods). Living Goods supported 4,218 CHWs in 2023 through Kenya implementation support reaching more than 1.9 million people. In Q4 2023, Living Goods launched its Community Event-Based Surveillance (CEBS) prototyping pilot with 50 CHWs from across 25 community units in Busia County. In Burkina Faso, a positive trajectory continues as monthly under-5 treatments or referrals per CHW doubled, as well as successful strengthening of supply chain management at CHW level following high malaria incidence and increased medicine use in Q3 . In Uganda, CHW performance continued to improve as the government rolled out the electronic Community Health Information System. Following initiation of an accelerated impact optimization plan to improve efficiency of visits, coverage, uptake and commodity access in September 2023, on-time postnatal care visits increased from 44% in Q1 to 62% in Q3.

VaccineLedger
VaccineLedger – a product created by StaTwig – revolutionises supply chains using blockchain technology to address the concerning global statistic that one in three vaccines for routine immunisation is currently being wasted due to supply chain failures. The StaTwig team set out to demonstrate that a majority of these failures could be prevented with modern data tools that provide continuous visibility of the condition of the vaccines while they are in storage or in-transit. Both UNICEF and Gavi who help distribute nearly 80% of global vaccines by volume have supported this solution since 2018.
Post-Award Impact 2023
StaTwig successfully completed Phase 2 of its Costa Rica project and by the end of 2023 was tracking 1 million doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank. StaTwig on-boarded distributors, hospitals and pharmacies on an incentive model and developed new modules to track last mile vaccination rates to provide complete visibility. As a result, the Costa Rica Government signed a new contract to continue using the VaccineLedger software for not only Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, but for all its medical procurements. They further gained recognition and attraction from pharmaceutical companies, including GSK, Pfizer, Sanofi, Takeda. Other Latin America countries are interested in the software, and they intend to scale to at least eight countries in 2024. Working with Avery Dennison to expand globally, VaccineLedger presented at its first demo day in Singapore in February 2023 and in Brazil in March 2023, showcasing the software to investors, venture builders and start-ups. The team also presented at City Tech Tokyo, one of the largest city tech events with a vision to revolutionise the supply chain with complete transparency and continuous visibility .

Professor Marc Mendelson (Director) Louise Gough (Chief Operating Officer)
Trustees have been drawn from diverse backgrounds in business and professional life and bring a broad range of experience and skills to Board deliberations. The Trustees have been appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association.
All Trustees familiarise themselves with their statutory responsibilities, their role as Board members, the governance framework within The Trinity Challenge, our work, and the risk environment. Ongoing training is arranged as and when a need is identified.
Trustee roles are voluntary in nature and Trustees receive no remuneration for their services.
Trustees may claim reimbursement for incidental expenses, although none were claimed during the period.
Grant Making Process
The Trinity Challenge awards prizes for projects promoting the best ideas that create public goods within the remit of each Challenge. These prizes are awarded as restricted grants, payable over a period of up to five years, depending on the successful implementation of each project.
The grant-making process is governed by the Charity’s Awards Policy, as reviewed from time to time by the Board. The remit of each Challenge, and the criteria for entry, are agreed and set before each Challenge is launched. Entries are shortlisted by a panel of reviewers, after which an independent Judging Committee makes recommendations to the Board on who should receive prizes. To ensure that the decision remains at armslength from, and independent of, the Board, the Board restricts itself to either accepting or rejecting the Judging Committee’s recommendation. The Board itself does not make any alterations to the Judging Committee’s recommendation.
Fundraising Activity
The Trinity Challenge’s fundraising activities have been limited to institutional donors, corporations, and trusts. We do not engage in fundraising from members of the public.
Public Benefit Statement
Charity Trustees have a duty to develop strategic plans to ensure that we provide public benefit and deliver against our charity objects as set out in our governing document. These objects fall under the purposes defined by the Charities Act 2011. We have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Financial Review
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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.
The financial outcome for the period is set out in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Income
Total income during 2023 was £1,082,303 which included unrestricted donations of £66,023 and £980,543 of new restricted grants for the Prize Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance.
Expenditure
Total expenditure during 2023 was £1,567,935. An amount of £984,948 was disbursed as grant payments for winners of the first Prize Challenge and £162,110 was spent on innovation support for these prize-winners. These payments were made from funds raised in the previous year. The remaining expenditure in 2023 was spent preparing for the second Prize Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance.
Reserves
Total reserves at the end of 2023 stood at £1,586,365. Of this amount £645,542 was unspent restricted grants, which will be used for the Prize Challenge and work on public engagement, collaborations and advocacy on antimicrobial resistance going forward.
The designated reserve at the end of the year was £654,308, of which £361,620 will be used for the remaining grant payments to existing prize winners and £282,688 for payments for innovation support.
‘The Trinity Challenge reserves policy is to hold minimum unrestricted reserves that are the higher of 3 months of operational expenditure or the amount needed to wind down the charity in an orderly manner. At 31 December 2023 the remaining £286,515 of reserves is unrestricted in nature. The Board believes this is adequate to cover the operational needs of the charity.
Investments
The Trinity Challenge held no investments during the period.

Trustees’ Report
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Trustees are responsible for the management of risks within the Trinity Challenge. Organisational and activity-based risks are considered and the approach is outlined below.
Organisational risk
The monitoring and implementation of the risk management framework and consideration of organisational risk is delegated to the Senior Management Team. The organisational risk register is presented at every Board meeting.
The Senior Management Team considers both strategic and detailed operational risks on an ongoing basis. The key controls in place include:
-
an established organisational and governance structure and lines of reporting detailed terms of reference for the Board and all Board committees
-
comprehensive financial planning, budgeting, management reporting and monitoring formal written policies and hierarchical authorisation and approval levels
Activity risk
Activity risks are reviewed and discussed in the same way as organisational risks. Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified through risk management processes are being adequately managed, whilst recognising that any framework can provide reasonable but not absolute assurance. There were no material control weaknesses identified during the year.
The following organisational risks and uncertainties are considered the most significant:
-
Insufficient funds to continue activities and deliver the charity objects, due to dependency on ongoing donor funding; the risk is mitigated by adopting a clear fundraising and donor stewardship strategy with appropriate resources allocated, minimising operational expenditure, closely monitoring so that the prize awards and other direct costs are covered by funds already received or committed in grant contracts, and qualified financial management.
-
Reputational damage to the Trinity Challenge resulting from funded projects or donors attracting public criticism due to their conduct or activity, including safeguarding or ethical issues; the risk is mitigated through pre-award due diligence for donors and awardees, legal review of contracts, mandatory awardee reporting and ongoing awardee monitoring.
Page 23
2023 Annual Report
Trustees’ Report
-
Failure to deliver the charity objectives through poor quality of applications or funded projects not achieving their full potential; this is mitigated through delivering a strong communication strategy to attract high quality applications, the mandatory provision of project plans for the lifetime of all funded projects, awardee reporting against these plans and ongoing awardee monitoring. Through a post-award innovation support partner, awardees can access strong global health networks, mentoring and coaching support.
-
Threat of IT system failure leading to critical operational issues. This is mitigated by specialist compliance training being delivered to colleagues in key areas to build their skills and ensure awareness of compliance requirements. Internal processes around information security, health and safety, safeguarding, data protection, and counterfraud follow recognised standards.
Staff
The Trinity Challenge hired three members of staff during 2023. The charity is an equal opportunities employer and supports the principles of equal opportunities and diversity in employment. TTC is fully compliant with the provisions of the Equality Act 2010.
Political Donations
The Trinity Challenge did not make any political donations during the period.
Post Balance Sheet Events & Going Concern
During 2023, the Trinity Challenge was successful in securing funds to launch a second public Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance. It is the Board’s view that the reserves of the Trinity Challenge and the new funding secured are such that it will continue to meet its financial obligations to pay prize winners’ grants in full, along with all other expenditure commitments, throughout the life cycle of prize winners’ grants. As such, this report and the accompanying accounts have been created on a going concern basis.
Serious Incidents
There were no serious incidents or other matters that were not reported to the Charity Commission in 2023.
Auditors
Moore Kingston Smith LLP were appointed as auditors on 17th December 2021 and have noted their willingness to continue in office.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
2023 Annual Report
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities in Respect of the Annual Report and Financial Statements
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company and charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
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;
-
assess the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and
-
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate and proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
2023 Annual Report
They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
In the case of each of the persons who were directors of the company at the date of approval of this directors' report that they confirm, that, so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and each director has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the Trinity Challenge
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Trinity Challenge (‘the company’) for the period ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independent Au ditor’s Report
Conclusion relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act
2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ annual report and strategic report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees’ annual report and strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 26, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
Page 30
2023 Annual Report
Independent Au ditor’s Report
We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Page 31
2023 Annual Report
Independent Au ditor’s Report
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

- At the time of approving the financial statements the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence to complete the first prize Challenge and to execute the second Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.4.
Charitable funds
- Following the requirements of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) all the funds of the Trinity Challenge have been analysed between the different types of fund.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The restriction on the restricted funds is that funds will be spent on the second Prize Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance.
1.5. Grant income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it and it is probable that the income will be received.
1.6. Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised on an accrual’s basis.
Expenditure on raising funds is that incurred in seeking grant income or donations.

As such, these accounts and the accompanying report have been created on a going concern basis.
