Review of principal activities and developments for the public benefit:
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities, and in particular how the planned activities will further its aims and objectives for the benefit of the public. The Charity has achieved this objective by providing a range of activities, working groups and educational meetings.
The Trustees review the Charity's principal aims, objectives and activities each year to ensure that the Charity remains focused on its stated purpose to improve standards of perinatal care by supporting all those involved in perinatal care to optimise their skills and knowledge, deliver and share high quality safe and innovative practice, undertake research, and promote the needs of babies and their families.
In 2025, the Executive Committee agreed to reword the strategic aims of the charity to better reflect the current activity. The principle function of the organisation remains the same.

Reserves
Reserves policy:
The Trustees review the Charity's reserves policy at regular intervals during the year and after consideration of the annual financial statements and the budgeted projections of income and expenditure. The trustees are satisfied that the current level of reserves is adequate to meet both unforeseen contingencies and the costs of the developmental activities planned for the next two/three years.
In order to maintain the current level of reserves, the Trustees are continuing to balance increased investment in the organisation against income.
The incoming resources are being used to finance the various activities and administration costs, which include staff and support costs, governance and strategy costs. BAPM aims to have sufficient unrestricted reserves to provide an uninterrupted service to members for 9 months without income (estimated in 2024/25 to be £166,500). The available accumulated unrestricted fund is £188,339 (2024: £204,871)
The Charity has restricted funds, namely the Library Fund, Peter Dunn / Founders Lecture Fund and BAPM's Special Interest Groups, BANNFU and NeoFOCUS.
The accumulated BANNFU Fund is £6,656 is available for general costs incurred for BANNFU at present there has only been minimal expenditure on receiving this income.
The NeoFOCUS Fund of £23,902 is used to pay for NeoFOCUS expenses such as study days and meeting expenses.
The accumulated Library Fund of £43,691 is available for the upkeep and archiving system for perinatal library and to further the objectives of the Charity. This fund has met the overhead and administration costs for the library.
The Peter Dunn / Founders Lecture Fund of £38,337 is used to cover the expenses of the speakers who delivers the Founders Lecture and Peter Dunn lecture each year at the Annual Conference.
The Peter Dunn / Founders Lecture Fund arose from donations received from Professor Peter Dunn to establish an annual perinatal lectureship ("The Peter Dunn Lecture"). The terms are that the lecture should be given at the Annual Conference of the Charity on a perinatal theme and that the speaker should rotate between the Executive Committees of the British Maternal and Fetal Medicine Society, the Neonatal Nurses Association, the Royal College of Midwives and the Charity. The fund is to be used to cover the expenses of the person who delivers this lecture and for other such similar activities at the discretion of the Charity. The level of the funds is considered adequate for this purpose.

British Association of Perinatal Medicine Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
British Association of Perinatal Medicine meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
The trustees consider that there were no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of 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 reporting period.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the furtherance of the objectives of the Charity without a specified purpose and are available as general funds. Resources expended which meet these criteria are charged to the funds, together with a fair allocation of staff and support costs. Restricted funds are used for the specific purposes laid down by the donor or sponsor. Resources expended which meet these criteria are charged to the funds.
Taxation
The Charity is exempt from taxation on its charitable activities, as it is a registered charity.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided over three years to ten years on a straight-line basis in order to write off the cost of each asset over their expected useful lives.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after allowing for any discounts and as per the terms agreed. Prepayments are valued at the amounts prepaid for services and accrued income are valued at the amounts due per terms agreed and there is certainty of receipt.
Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which is a registered charity under number 1057744 administers the pension scheme on behalf of the charity.
Income and interest receivable and volunteer costs
Income is recognised in the period when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Income comprises of funds received from members subscriptions, sponsors and exhibitors, donations, events and conferences, trainees' and other meetings; and are included either as unrestricted funds and used for general purposes of the charity or restricted funds for the purpose specified by the donor.

British Association of Perinatal Medicine Notes to the Financial Statements Continued
For the year ended 31 March 2025
Expenditure and allocation of support costs
Expenditure incurred is recognised in the period once there is a legal constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party. It is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered, is classified under the following activity heading: - Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in including third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose and their associated support costs.
- Expenditure on charitable activities include the costs of charitable activities that is undertaken to further the purpose of the charity and their associated support costs Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Both staff and support costs have been allocated to each activity per accounting policy note below (see note 7 for allocation).
Allocation of staff and support costs:
These are management and administration costs and comprises expenditure not directly attributable to the generated funds, charitable or fund raising activities of the Charity, but relate to furtherance of the charity's objectives. They are therefore allocated to the relevant category of resources expended based on estimates of the time devoted to each activity.
Other accounting policies
Cash at bank and in hand:
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes bank balance kept in current and deposit accounts.
Creditors and provisions:
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provision are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts.
Financial instruments:
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualifies as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their amortised costs.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
There are no significant areas of judgement or key sources of estimation uncertainty arising from the preparation of accounts.
