CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 10 JULY 2023 TO 31 JULY 2024
The charity had a successful period in providing humanitarian aid to Ukrainians.
Over the course of the period the Charity's Chief Executive Officer, Oksana Lovochkina, ("CEO") was successful in holding a number of fundraising events and is building excellent working relationships with potential partners and grant authorities.
The Trustees recognise that the Ukraine/Russia war is likely to continue for the foreseeable future and that the charity has to position itself to provide support for the longer term and this inevitably means additional funding will be required.
The CEO and Trustees would like to thank the volunteers, partners all donors and other stakeholders that have allowed Ukrainian Medical Charity to have a successful period. The Charity looks forward to continuing its support for Ukraine.

The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).

The charity trustees for the purposes of charity law are known as members of the Board of Trustees.
The members of the Board of Trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must step down and may be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
A broad skill set is represented on the Board of Trustees, including experts in finance, IT, medical research and business. This board has been constituted in order to provide the professional and technical expertise required to ensure accountability for and efficiency in UMC's work.
We believe assessing the quality of the work being undertaken with UMC funding, the competence of local partners; and the financial integrity of the programmes are the most appropriate ways for Trustees to ensure the accountability of UMC's work.
The key management personnel of the charity as listed on Page 1 are in charge of directing, controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. The pay and remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees

During the year, we held a number of fundraising events, including our fundraising breakfast in February; Gala Event in March and another in Wheatley in April; Two Castles 10km Fundraising Run Event for UMC and Stand for UMC at the Armed Forces Day 2024 in Warwick in June.
We collaborated with our partner, TCC-Casemix, to engage Ukrainian clinicians in research, leveraging their qualifications.
Working with The Nightingale Foundation and the NMC, we also provided training for Ukrainian nurses in the UK and supported them with the necessary information to obtain nurse registration in the UK.
Together with the East European Resource Centre and Barking & Dagenham Council we held a webinar about MMR-vaccination and its importance during the current outbreak of measles in Europe.
