The Executive Committee of ISH concluded thattransitioningfrom an UC to CIO offered signfficant advantsges to the Society. The Most important b8nefits of the CIO structure to the ISH ar8: Separate Leg81 Pèrsonality. The CIO has its own legal Identity, allowing it to enter into contracts. own property. and conduct all business in the charltys name, ratherth8n in the names ofthe indiwdual Trustees. Twstee Protection {Llmtted Liability): Members and Trustees are generally protected from personal liabiiityfor 8ny debts or obligations incurred bythe charity. This is a critical improvement, as Trustees ofthe prv4ious UC were each and severally liable forthe debts of ISH.

The Society has one ISH employee with key responsibilities to support the Executive. Council, and the ISH leadership. The aim is for this dedicated full-time support to help the Society and volunteers and maintain continuity with activities. As the Society does not undertake fundraisingfrom the general public, the major risks to the continuation of the Society's programrne of educational activities are from 8 decrease in income from its industry partners, reduction in revenue from the Journal of Hypertension annual royalty fee and from its Biennial Scientific Meetings.

Section D Achievements and performance IENS.IDMBES.Eatio IEiiir.EEacIiyJTJES: New investigator Cornrnittee INICI The Society continued to encourage interaction and involvement with the ISH Nèw Invesligator Network on the Society website and via social media plattorms, F8¢ebook X and Linkedln. The Society circulated regular news via the main Society news channels to focus on the 8chievements of new researchers or clinical scientists undertaking a higher degree. To add to this, the spotlight section was retained on the Society webpages to feature hypertension future leaders. Mentorship and TrainingCommitte8 IMTCI The focus ol the Mentorship and Training Committèe in 2024 was to continue the successful ISH Mentorship Scheme. This is an exciting scheme designed to bring together new investigators (students and hypertension researchers who are within 10 years of 8 doctoral degree) and more experienced investigators. Womgn in Hypertension Research Committee 1HRCI The long-term goal of the Women in Hypertension Research Committee IWIHRCI is to address the barriers to progression that aff ect women and other under-represented groups within the society and to ensure equality of opportunity for all across the Society's activities and within the wider hypertension research community. With their activities the WIHRC are aiming to promote their mission. This is.. To promote women scientists and clinicians so that they can fulfil their career aspirations in hypertension and related CVD. To provide a plattorm for networking and mentoring To recognise and promote successes ofwomen in the hypertension community To encourage research in the field of 'hypertension and cardiovascular disease in wornen The spotlight section was retained on the Society webpages to provide an international platform to promote outstanding women working in hypertension research, learn about their scientific interestslachievements and to tell their person81 story. Capacity BuildingNetwork The ISH Capa¢ity Building Network IC8NI was lavnched on 27 November 2023 as a collaboration between the 3 ¢ommittees (ISH NIC, MTC and WIHRCI to off er career development and networking opportunities for early and mid-career researchers and those from under-represented backgrounds. The collaboration will strengthen the activities of each ol the committees and reduce duplication of effort. The 3 committees jointly organised activities in 2024- primarily at the ISH2024 Cartagena rneetinE- to help equip investigators with the skills they need to progress in research. See page 6. Whilst the focus of the CBN is on researchers in the earlier stages ol their careers, all members of the ISH are welcome to attend events. Extensive efforts were made in 2024 to increase the level and content of communication from the ISH to Society members and those non-ISH members engaged within the hypertension community. ISH magazine- Hypertension News- continued to be sent to stakeholders and made available on the open webpages. It is focused on scientific content and major updates and remains highly readable. Our members regularly express interest in communicating and exchanging their ideas via this publication. There were three issues in 2024. In addition, the monthly e-Bulletin for membership was expanded to match the increased activity within the Society and increased recognition of partner activity- Our magazine and bulletin are highly valued, with open rates for our email bulletins around 40-500/0.

Section E Financial review Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves The financial position of the Society is Gonsidered by the Trustees to be in good order As shown by the financial statements. As the Society does not undertake fundraising from the general public and in view of the uncertainty of long-term support from the Biennial Scientific Heelings and Corporate Members, the Trustees h8ve approved a strategy to maintain the balance of the accounts to reasonable sum of at least-£500,000 to guarantee sustainable charitable activities in the event of unfavourable financial circumstances. The Society also wishes to contlnue Its policy of holding Biennial Scientific Meetings in regions of the world which on occasion, may not attract as much sponsorship as others and It is therefore important to maintain sufflclent reserves as indicated above to 8nsure existing commitments are met in the event that the 8iennial Scientific Meetings do not make a signiflcant surplus. This was notably the case for the Colombla 2024 Sclentlfie Meeting which was the first ISH meeting held in Latin Amerlca since 2004 and an Invaluable opportunity to better connect with the community in the region and expand the reach of the Society. Flnanclal Overvlgw lor 2024 Total Income for the year amounted to £318,008, representing an Increase ot £97,582 Compared lo 20231£220,4261. This increase is mainly attributable to a grant received 01 £1 OOK (equivalent to E86,684- ISH Empowerment 231241, which has been treated as restricted fund income. Direct ¢h8ritable expenditure in 2024 totalled £334,904, which Includes foreign exchange losses of É15,958. Charitable expenditure in 2023 totalled £304,798 Expendlture exceedgd income by £7 6,896, resulting in a net reduction in funds for the Society. This resulted In a tot81 lunds balance of £911,054 as of 31 December 2024, compared to £927,950 in 2023 New charitable expendltures have been commltted lor 2025, Includlng further educational activltles in the region5. It Is also th8 aim ol the Society to further build 115 research activities, and it is therefore import8nt to have suff ici8nt reserv85 to honour these longer-term research commitments. Further flnan¢ial rovlew detalls Iopllonal Inlormatlonl You may choose to include additional intormalion, where relevant about: The charity's principal sources of funds (including any fundraising). How expenditure has supported thekey objectives ol the charity. Investment policy and The Soclety's programme of 8du¢8tional activities is funded primarily in four ways.. 1. Royalties.. The Society receives 8 sm811 percentage of the revenue made by theJourn81 or Hypertension, the Society's official journal. 2. Corporate Members- The contributions made by approximately 5 commercl81 companies enable the Society to continue to develop existing initiatives and provide new educational resources and activities. Donations from our in(Justrial partners are received on the condition that all activities undertaken by Ihe Society are managed by the Trustees alone, 8nd that the Corporate Member5 are not involved with any decision-making. 3. Project and endorsement support.. Industry contributes project and endorsement support either to acknowledge ISH'S endorsement or to facilitate specific Society initiatives. 4. Biennial Scientific Meetings.. The Society receives a percentage of any surplus from these conferences. This amount can vary considerably each time, depending on how rnuch income TAR
objectives including any ethic81 investment policy adopted. is received from sponsorship and registration fees. 5. Membership subscription fees. Our overarching investment objective is to achieve a combination of sustainable growth and income. We aim to generate returns that allow us to fulfil our charilable purposes while carefully preserving the capital value of our portfolio. To manage liquidity and earn a return on short-terrn funds, a portion of our cash balances will be held on interest-be2ring deposit.
