Structure, Governance and Management

Description of the Charity’s Trusts

The organisation passed resolutions to convert from a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) (with the company number 13089258) to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on November 8, 2023, and submitted its conversion application on November 13, 2023. Its application was fully approved by the Charity Commission on January 9, 2024, which is when the updated Articles of Association (now called the Constitution) became effective immediately, and an update was automatically made to the Register of Charities. The update has been made at Companies House, where the charity is now listed as a CIO with the company number CE034795, a charity registered as a corporate body under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011.

Recruitment and Appointment of the Trustee Board

The charity’s Constitution specify that there should be a minimum of three, and unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution, there shall not be a maximum number of trustees. Members of the Board of Trustees are elected for a three-year term, after which they may be re-elected for a maximum of two terms, unless extended by special resolution. All trustees volunteer their time and receive no compensation from the charity.

The Trustee Board is made up of four dynamic individuals and it consists of a diverse and relevant range of skills and experience. To ensure that the right mix of Trustees is maintained, the Trustees will periodically list, record, and assess their skills and experience to determine if certain strategic or operational talents are required. The Trustee board is resolved to attract individuals with the necessary skills and experience. This will be done with either open advertising or personal recommendations. All prospective Trustees are interviewed by at least two Trustee board members, including the Chair.

All Trustees receive a thorough induction to the organisation's activities and their responsibilities, which includes meetings with employees and a reference pack.

Organisational Structure and Trustee Responsibilities

The Trustees, are accountable for overseeing the strategic direction of the charity, ensuring its alignment with its vision and mission, and ensuring that its stated fundamental values are reflected in the conduct of its employees. They are accountable for ensuring that the organisation is compliant with charity and company law. The charity's operations are delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for ensuring that the charity follows through on its agreed-upon strategy, supervises and leads the team and ensures that all its people, across the organisation, continue to develop their skills and behaviours in accordance with best practise, demonstrating the core values in their actions.

By law, every charity must prepare a set of accounts and a trustees' annual report that provide a true and fair picture of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date, as well as its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the fiscal year. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining accurate accounting records that always show the charity’s financial position with reasonable accuracy and allow them to ensure that the financial statements conform with the Companies Act 1985.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

Objectives and Activities

Our vision

A world where every African impacted by Parkinson’s disease has equitable access to the resources needed to make informed health decisions and lead fulfilled lives.

Our mission

To transform the Parkinson’s disease landscape across Africa, community by community, into societies where those affected have access to quality healthcare, research, support, information, and educational resources.

Aim

Through our collaboration with local organisations in Egypt, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda, we help deliver existing activities and implement new ones to ensure that our beneficiaries receive the information and support resources needed to lead empowered lives. We accomplish this by providing culturally appropriate educational resources about Parkinson's disease that have been translated into 11 African languages, assisting in the formation of support groups for people with Parkinson's disease, their caregivers, and health professionals, and engaging in other forms of community engagement and involvement activities. We assist local partners in developing the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to deliver activities and initiatives to the intended recipients to ensure sustainability. We support partner organisations in conducting awareness campaigns to increase global knowledge of the disease and facilitate access to medication and clinical care, whenever possible, through the networks we have established.

Objectives

The charity's primary objectives are exclusively focused on alleviating the impact of Parkinson's disease in Africa. These objectives encompass raising awareness and educating the public about the disease, promoting, and supporting research into its causes, prevention, treatment, and cure (with a special emphasis on engaging the African community), improving healthcare and treatment options across Africa, providing social support to individuals and their networks affected by Parkinson's disease, and facilitating any other charitable initiatives that benefit Africans impacted by Parkinson's disease.

We began developing monitoring and evaluation tools, processes, and systems to enable us to demonstrate that Africans impacted by Parkinson's disease who participate in our projects will achieve the following outcomes:

We also quantify outcomes and levels of involvement by recording attendance and the number of persons participating in the events we support.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

Summary of activities undertaken for public benefit

Our activities, which are related to the public benefit we deliver, include:

1. Partnerships and capacity building

We have diligently cultivated valuable partnerships with local organisations in the nine African nations outlined below. We have continued to build the foundational towards enhancing the capabilities of these organisations and collaborative partners. As such we have welcomed new partners from Egypt, Nigeria, and Tanzania this year. We have also established partnerships with academic institutions such as Newcastle University and Lancaster University by collaborating and co-leading on part of a large Research grants called Transforming Parkinson’s Care in Africa (TraPCAf) as well as supporting PhD students through their field work and research.

Through our active involvement with the Transforming Parkinson’s in Africa (TraPCAf) project we have brought all partners together and put a specific focus on our activities together, primarily focused on Community Engagement and Involvement.

2. Development and distribution of Parkinson’s disease related educational materials.

The already developed S.E.E. Parkinson's (in collaboration with the IPDGC-Africa), Parkinson’s disease health literacy materials have been used extensively and disseminated across different projects.

As part of our CEI work, we have allocated budget for 11 African sites in 7 African countries to print these

4

booklets and distribute to beneficiaries they work with in the languages that are most appropriate. We have also started the translation of the booklets in Portuguese and another local language in Ghana.

We have developed a proposal in partnership with colleagues from TraPCAf and across the sector on developing online educational courses for health and social care providers in Africa on Parkinson’s disease.

Finally, the development of the Walking Football and Parkinson’s Disease manual took shape where educational messages were incorporated through Walking Football drills. This was a hugely successful project and showed some considerate growth in knowledge about PD amount the people with PD and caregivers we have engaged with in Nigeria.

3. Awareness and advocacy campaigns

Our advocacy and awareness campaign consisted of joining the global movement during World Parkinson’s Month in April 2023 through online campaigning and awareness. However, the biggest awareness campaign was through our Walking Football and Parkinson’s disease tournament where we have reached over 500 people through a well organised event. Furthermore, our Founder Omotola Thomas, was involved in a variety of global advocacy campaigns and activities. In July 2023, Omotola and the Parkinson’s Africa team joined the global Parkinson’s community in Barcelona for the World Parkinsons Congress – the largest Parkinson’s disease congress for clinicians, patients, and carers. Omotola had quite a few key addresses such as speaking about her lived experiences with PD as a young African and why it is important to raise awareness and improve support and care for Africans impacted by the disease, she was one of the key note speakers at the Leadership forum and also she was invited at Michael J Fox foundation Research village talk to discuss the importance of opportunities for Africans on clinical research.

In September, Omotola was invited to represent Parkinson’s Africa and speak at World Health Organisation’s Headquarters in Sept. Omotola shared her lived experience with the conditions and gave a talk on the importance on accessibility and availability of medicines for Parkinson’s disease in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

To conclude the year, Omotola spoke at Parkinson’s UK Headquarters and spread further awareness about Parkinson’s Africa and Africans impacted by Parkinson’s disease. See below some of the quotes from Parkinson’s UK staff and employees following the talk.

“ Omotola was a wonderful storyteller, the way she took you into the detail and the scary moments, such as that night on her own in a London hotel, sitting on google trying to make sense of what she knew was coming (the diagnosis the next day). I also thought the reflections and struggles that were particular to her being a black woman were powerful and human - that she could no longer prep her family meal or braid her daughter's hair, because of her motor symptoms. I thought she spoke very candidly and sensitively about it all.”

“It was great to hear Omotola's story and hear her honest account of being diagnosed and living with Parkinson's as a young, black woman - this is not a story we hear that much and so I really appreciated her openness and the reflections she shared. It was also great to hear about the work she and the team are doing at Parkinson's Africa, particularly around trying to educate and increase training opportunities for medical professionals.”

“Omotola's words made me think about what I could be doing more of in my role and in the communities and beyond. It was also fascinating to learn about Parkinson's beyond the UK and the incredible work Parkinson's Africa and Dr Vida are doing to raise awareness. This session was amazing!”

4. Providing access to support for Africans impacted by Parkinson’s disease.

We have continued to update, utilise and signpost PwPs and partners to our comprehensive website which contains high-quality information and health articles about Parkinson's disease to provide Africans affected by Parkinson's disease with access to valuable support.

We also began planning virtual support sessions which went live in Jan 2023, with the goal of providing virtual support to Africans with Parkinson's disease. The sessions were informative, and they run for 8 months, after which we were able to evaluate, adapt and develop a comprehensive CEI plan ready to be rolled out in 2024. We have developed a Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI) plan that was rolled out to 7 of the 9 countries we work with and 11 partner organisations as part of the Transforming Parkinson’s in Africa (TraPCAf) project, which ensures that each partner is supported in achieving achievable CEI activities at each site. Part of this plan consists of developing and delivering Virtual Support groups for PwPs and caregivers, where each partner is given the autonomy to present a topic.

A plan was also devised for the launch of a support phone line project that would provide, through telephone access, information, assistance, and support to Africans affected by Parkinson's disease.

5. Facilitating access to clinical services

We were able to provide access to about 40 PwPs in Uganda thanks to a targeted fundraising effort and existing collaborations. Additionally, we have actively participated in and joined the Medication Equity Movement with PD Avengers to investigate the possibility of obtaining drugs in Africa at prices that are both reasonable and sustainable.

Ensuring public benefit is delivered in line with our vision and mission.

In September 2023, The Board of Trustees and key staff have attended a Strategy Session to review our aims, objectives, and activities. This review examined what we accomplished and the results of our work during the last 12 months. The review examined the success of each main action as well as the advantages it has brought to the groups of individuals we seek to serve. The review also ensured that our aims, objectives, and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. The outcome of this activity was an updated three-year Strategy Document (2024 – 2027), which then enabled the development of Fundraising strategy and Operations plan which were both developed in 2023 and ready for implementation in 2024 and beyond.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and planning our future activities. The Trustees examine how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have defined.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

Achievements and Performance

Our primary activities and the individuals we seek to assist are outlined above. All our charitable activities are centred on equipping Africans affected by Parkinson's disease with the knowledge, understanding, opportunities, and resources necessary to make informed decisions about the options that enable them to live empowered and dignified lives and effectively manage their condition.

Achievements and Performance to date

Together with healthcare professionals, partner organisations, volunteers, pro bono supporters, and a broader network of support, we have accomplished the following in 2023:

Another notable achievement and milestone were the award of a four-year research grant funded by the NIHR, which was led by academic and medical professionals from Newcastle University. As part of this project, Parkinson's Africa co-leads the development of the Community Engagement and Involvement work package over the next four years.

How our activities deliver public benefit against objectives set

Despite being a young organisation, our organisation has high aims and ambitions, and has made great advances towards ensuring that public benefit is delivered in accordance with the objectives defined. Our strengths lie in our position to be able to equip and support local organisations to make the desired impact on beneficiaries through working collaboratively to access the resources required to assist Africans impacted by Parkinson's disease lead empowered and dignified lives. This, we believe, was established in the preceding sections on activities, achievement, and performance.

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set.

To date, crowd funding, or the public collection of lesser amounts of funds, has served its purpose. The organisation has attracted significant funders in 2022, including legacy donors and educational trusts. In anticipation of a more robust fundraising plan and campaign in 2023, Parkinson's Africa has registered with HMRC to claim Gift Aid on donations.

Financial Review

Financial Position Overview

The Trustees have reviewed the overall finances of the charity and are satisfied with the current financial position in line with the charity's financial policies. Quarterly, the Trustee Board examines the charity's finances to monitor the organisation's financial health and identify any necessary actions.

Parkinson's Africa increased its net cash position from £72,655 at the end of 2022 to £87,672 by the end of the 2023. In 2023, the annual turnover was £74,322, with expenditure of £59,305, which when added to the brought forward funds leaves us with a net balance of £87,672 going into 2024. Salaries were the largest cost category in 2023, accounting for 51% of total expenditure (£30,143), followed by project costs – 42% or £25,191 – and other administrative expenditure – 7%) or £3,971. The vast majority of 2023 revenue comes from restricted grants such as grants from NIHR/Newcastle University and Vitol Foundation. Income in 2024 is expected to come from a variety of sources, with a focus on continued and agreed upon legacy funding support, grants income, and running fundraising events to strengthen our unrestricted funding and increase donations. As a result, the Trustees do not anticipate any financial challenges that might hinder the organisation's success in 2024 and beyond at this time.

Reserves:

After considering the following factors, the Trustees have determined that, currently, the organisation does not need to retain unrestricted reserves.

Stable Funding Source : We have been fortunate to receive an annual grant of £40,000 from the Janet Owens Legacy Fund, specifically allocated for staff costs.

Limited Operating Costs : We have minimal overhead costs beyond salaries. Additionally, all project expenses are covered by restricted grants, which means that our financial obligations are well-managed and covered.

Immediate Financial Security : Given our financial situation, there is no immediate concern that we will be unable to meet our financial commitments or maintain our essential operations. We have maintained a strong financial footing thanks to the consistent funding we receive.

Future Planning : While we do not have reserves in place currently, our Board of Trustees is aligned on the need to establish a reserves policy to ensure the long-term security of the organisation, particularly as the Janet Owens Legacy funding is set to expire in a little under two years. We have started building our reserves in 2023. Our goal is to build it up to a level that ensures our financial sustainability beyond the grant period, maintains an uninterrupted flow of our activities, and safeguards the long-term security of our organisation. There are no funds materially in deficit.

PARKINSON'S AFRICA Charity Number: 1196226

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. Statutory Information

Parkinson's Africa is a Charitable Incorprated Organisation (CIO). The charity's registered company number, registered charity number, registered office and the nature of it's activities can be found in the Trustees Report.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling (£)

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective from 1 January 2019 and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

No critical accounting judgements have been made in the process of applying the accounting policies below.

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Going concern

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 for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised under the performance model. The grant income is recognised upon performance conditions being satisfied (and should it be received in advance of satisfying the performance, recognition of the income is deferred as a liability) and where there are no specific future performance-related conditions then grants are recognised when proceeds are received or receivable.

Donations

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Trading activities

Income from trading activities includes income earned from trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Charitable Activities

The charity receives corporate grants in respect of agreed projects. Income from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where

2. Accounting policies - continued

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitabe activities.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
