A message from our Chair

This has been another busy and successful year for Homeopathy UK. Our small staff team, guided by CEO Cristal Skaling-Klopstock, work incredibly hard and I cannot praise them highly enough for their continuing loyalty and dedication. For a small charity, we achieve amazing results. “Guid gear gangs in sma’ bulk” (for our southern readers – “good things come in small parcels”).

First and foremost has to be our ever-expanding network of charitable clinics around the UK. That these are meeting an obvious need is borne out by the numbers of patients seeking appointments. The clinics provide a valuable resource and we are able to run as many as we can fund and staff. Androulla Pillos-Smith has stepped up from her previous role to that of Clinics Manager and is doing a sterling job. And long-serving staff member Tracey Simmons has been holding the fort very ably in the absence of our Business Development Manager.

We welcomed two new members of staff this year: Sam Westcott who takes charge of Marketing and Communications and Sarah Indranie as Operations Manager. Both Sarah and Sam bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm and are already making a positive impact.

Their arrival coincided with a move to new premises. We have left CAN in Old Street and are now in Bloomsbury, near Kings Cross in London, in a space which is much better suited to our needs. The staff continue to enjoy hybrid working and have also been able to take advantage of a salary sacrifice scheme which enables them to buy an electric car.

Thanks to our Royal Patron, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, we once again received an invitation to the Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. This time, the honour fell to Trustee Liz Tucker and CEO Cristal to represent the charity.

Our charity is in good health financially, despite the vagaries of the markets. The Finance Committee and CEO monitor the situation closely, maintaining our operational and financial stability. Fundraising remains difficult post pandemic and we rely on generous legacies and donations from our supporters to continue our work. Our sincere thanks to all who are able to contribute.

Cristal also chairs 4Homeopathy (4H) in the UK, which was created to help promote and defend homeopathy in a unified way. Homeopathy is an important part of complementary and integrated medicine and for those reasons Homeopathy UK is a signatory on the recent People’s Declaration for Complementary and Integrative Health (TCIH), a global call for a person-centred and holistic approach to healthcare.

Cristal and I continue to represent Homeopathy UK in Europe, between us taking on major roles in the European Federation of Homeopathic Patients’ Associations and the European Committee for Homeopathy, which in turn lead to involvement in other European lobbying groups. This helps to keep H-UK at the forefront of homeopathy and CAM in Europe.

Perhaps it’s still a little early to cheer, but there has been some positive media coverage for homeopathy during the past year. Maybe the wheel is turning and, as a more integrated approach to healthcare and patient-centredness start to become both desirable and normal, homeopathy will no longer be such an easy target for criticism. Certainly, the public vote with their feet and homeopaths and homeopathic pharmacies have never been busier.

Having served two terms as Chair, it is now time for me to stand down and pass the reins to John Morgan who has been a very able Vice-Chair and I know will bring fresh ideas and continue the positive development of H-UK. John is a well-known and highly respected member of our homeopathic community; he is the founder and managing director of Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy and a long-standing Member of the Faculty of Homeopathy and Fellow of the Society of Homeopaths.

It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as Chair and I am extremely proud of what we have achieved over recent years. The success and growth that we have enjoyed have only been possible thanks to our dedicated staff and trustees, as well as the tremendous backing we’ve received from our supporters and friends across the UK. I have met many interesting people, visited some fascinating places and made some lifelong friends. Thank you all for your support, which is very much appreciated.

I have every confidence that the organisation will go from strength to strength in the years to come. Long may H-UK continue to pack a powerful punch!

Margaret Wyllie

Our clinics:

Our network of charitable clinics – and those that we support with grant-funding – remain at the heart of what we do as an organisation. Through our clinics, we are able to meet our core objective of providing high-quality free (or low cost care to those who would otherwise be unable to access it.

All of our clinics are run by experienced practitioners who are registered with one of the UK’s main three registering bodies. On average, our charitable clinics run for two half days per month, although this increases where demand is high.

This year, our network of nine charitable clinics has continued to go from strength to strength. We have launched two new clinics, rebranded a third and seen a return of face-to-face appointments.

New clinics:

In February, we opened Scottish Borders Homeopathy in Galashiels run by Society member Luci Joan Lawless. Initially offering one afternoon session per month, the clinic proved so popular that we added a second clinic.

We also rebranded our Stranraer clinic as Dumfries & Galloway Homeopathy in February as the clinic moved to a wonderful new location, Catstrand. Practitioner Elaine Hamilton – and her patients – are extremely happy in their new, healing space and the clinic continues to thrive.

In May, we opened our UK-wide Virtual Clinic, in direct response to patient

demand. The clinic is run by GP and Faculty member Dr Gabriella Day and has been enormously successful from the outset, with high demand for appointments. The clinic is fully booked several months ahead and is clearly providing a much-needed service to patients who cannot afford or access homeopathic care elsewhere.

Linking with the local community:

Many of our clinicians have forged excellent links within their local community, offering their services through other charities. In January, Dr Tim Foster opened a homeopathy clinic at Trinity Winchester, a day service for homeless and vulnerable people in Winchester. Initially opened as a pilot, the clinic has proved extremely popular and is now a regular fixture at Trinity.

Wendy Scrase (Kent) has also forged close links with the nearby community Physic Garden and has seen a steady stream of patients come from there.

Promote homeopathy to new audiences

Social media

Social media plays a key role in our efforts to spread the word about homeopathy. We regularly post engaging and relevant content across our three channels – Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn – and have seen our followers and engagements soar through some innovative activity such as product giveaways.

Our website

Our website is key to our promotional efforts and traffic continues to grow year on year. Our clinics section is extremely popular and patients can now book and amend appointments online. We have a regular blog section and patient success stories are being added regularly. Our FindA-Homeopath tool and Conditions Directory remain our most visited sections.

PR/Media

Whilst the UK media continues to remain largely negative about homeopathy, we have secured some good local coverage about our clinics which resulted in enquiries and bookings. We also had a positive piece in national magazine The Lady which included a quote from Dr Gabriella Day from our Virtual Clinic.

Patient testimonials

Real, personal experiences of homeopathy are one of the most powerful ways we can help to spread the homeopathy message. This year, we have made some changes to the way in which we obtain these stories and as a result, have seen numbers increase. We use these stories on the success stories section of our website, on social media and in our magazine Health & Homeopathy.

Collaborate with sector partners

Our UK partnerships

4Homeopathy

We continue to work closely with our UK sector colleagues under the 4H coalition to promote and defend homeopathy.

The Hahnemann House Trust (HHT)

As trustee of the HHT, we continue to play a key role in preserving the legacy of homeopathy. The HHT houses a unique collection of letters, books and personal artefacts belonging to Dr Hahnemann – and other key figures from homeopathy’s past – which can be viewed free of charge in a virtual museum.

Our international partnerships

We also work closely with international partners to support nations where homeopathy is under threat, helping to ensure that patients can retain access to it.

The European Federation of Homeopathic Patients’ Associations (EFPHA) – We are members of EFHPA and our CEO Cristal Skaling-Klopstock is the Co-President.

Cristal is also the organisation’s liaison with the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH).

Corporate governance

The Trustees, acting as the Council for the charity, meet four times a year to:

Committees

There are four active committees of the Council which provide advice and recommendations in the following areas:

Management Team

The Homeopathy UK management team is led by the CEO and comprises:

The management team meets weekly to discuss, implement and monitor strategy and performance of the charity on the authority delegated by the Trustees.

Remuneration of senior staff

Senior staff salary levels are initially set when recruiting, through external review by employment experts to ensure salaries reflect the current employment market to attract highcalibre candidates to apply for the posts. Once employed, staff member salaries are reviewed based on changes in responsibilities, performance in post and economic changes. CEO recruitment and salary management is undertaken in a similar manner by the Trustees.

Organisational structure

(see page 28)

There are five staff members, two fulltime and three part-time. Homeopathy UK is committed to equal opportunities. Conditions of employment are set out in the staff materials held on the Citrus HR System.

Reserves policy

The charity relies on legacies and donations or retained reserves to fully fund its activities. Since legacy income is unpredictable in both amount and frequency, the Trustees have agreed that sufficient reserves should be maintained to support the charity’s activities for one year.

The charity determines an operating deficit by deducting sustainable income from the cost of its planned activity level for the twelve month period, ensuring that sufficient reserves are retained to meet this operating deficit. In this way, planned increases or enforced

25

decreases in activity can be managed smoothly.

The target reserves for 2022-23 year were £253,402. At 2021-22 year end the unrestricted free reserves were £263,456 which is more than the target. If the reserve level goes below the annual budgeted deficit the Trustees will consider the charity’s financial position and anticipated income to either modify the reserve policy or implement operational reductions to ensure reserves remain aligned with the current policy.

Designated funds of £143,581 are held to ensure the charity has sufficient funding for on-going grant commitments, clinic operations and redundancy costs should it face an unanticipated, emergency wind down.

Restricted funding is used against expenditure that meets the purposes of the funds.

Fundraising costs

The charity’s fundraising costs are directly linked with the salaries of the charity’s Business Development team who ensure core processes such as gift processing and donor management are undertaken. The team is also responsible for applying to grant funders to secure funding for both current and new projects as well as identifying how to attract additional funding and new donors to the charity.

Grant-making policy

In 2015-6, Homeopathy UK started accepting grant applications for future funding. The grant awarding policy and application is available to the public on the organisation’s website. Over the period, £15,893 was spent on grants and a further £38,852 was allocated to Trustee approved projects which are ongoing or will start in 2022-3.

healthcare practitioners who are qualified in homeopathy – doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, podiatrists and vets.

The Faculty – which has around 500 members – ensures the highest standards of homeopathic training, education and practice. It is also the leading authority on homeopathic medicine and lobbies government, the medical establishment and other key decision-makers for homeopathy to be fully integrated into healthcare systems the UK and worldwide.

Risk management

Trustees and senior staff identify risks to the charity on an ongoing basis. These risks have been documented within a risk register that is ranked by severity. This risk register is regularly discussed and updated at Trustee meetings. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces.

The significant risks identified are shown on Page 27.

Our auditors are Sayer Vincent LLP.

Report of the Trustees

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022. 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).

Statement of Trustee’s responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Homeopathy UK for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

29

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

Appointing Trustees

The method of appointment of Trustees is contained in the governing documents. Trustees are also members of Homeopathy UK’s Council and simultaneously guaranteed members of the company.

Before new Trustees are appointed, a review of the Trustee body’s skills mix is undertaken and steps taken to recruit new Trustees with skills that fill any gaps. New Trustees are invited to an induction meeting where they receive a comprehensive overview of the charity, its work and governance. Trustees regularly review their need for additional training to effectively fulfil their role. No Trustee has any financial interest in Homeopathy UK, or received any renumeration aside from out-of-pocket expenses.

Financial results for year ending 31 August 2022

Net movement in funds was (£48,212) (2021: (£70,284)).

The total reserves of Homeopathy UK stand at £596,414 (2021: £644,626)

30

Principal activities of the charity

All activities undertaken by the charity are of benefit to the public. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and ensured that the charity’s aims and objectives are in line with this guidance.

The year 2021-22 has been one of achievement against the organisation’s strategic goals. For example, the charity has increased the number of charitable clinics it provides – or funds through grants – enabling more people to access high quality homeopathic care from registered healthcare professionals.

Over the period, the charity’s strategic goals were to:

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Homeopathy UK

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Homeopathy UK (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows 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:

Basis for 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.

Conclusions 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 Homeopathy UK’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 trustees’ 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 this gives rise to 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:

32

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable 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 in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, 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.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.

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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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 are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with

33

laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading

to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of the report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022

Note 1: Statutory Information

Homeopathy UK is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the Contents page. The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

Resources expended

The charity incurs two main categories of expenditure which are cost of generating funds and charitable activities. All categories of expenditure are accounted for on accruals basis. The cost for generating funds includes fundraising and publicity costs as well as investment management fees. Charitable activities expenditure includes the training of healthcare professionals, provision of information, increasing public access and research and development.

Note 2: Accounting policies

Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern. The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable for 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’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s General guidance on public benefit ensuring it is in line with the Charity’s aims and objectives.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

A breakdown of the expenditure included within support costs is detailed in the notes to the accounts.

Grants awarded

Provision is made for grants when approved by the Trustees and communicated to recipients Grants approved and communicated but not paid at the balance sheet date are included in liabilities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets held for the company’s own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Tangible fixed assets with a value of £500 or more are capitalised.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual values, of all fixed assets, over their expected useful lives.

It is calculated at the following rates:

Income

Income from donations is included in the financial statements on a receivable basis. Pecuniary and residuary legacies are included when the amounts can be reasonably quantified and the charity has certainty of receipt. All other income is accounted on an accruals basis. Income is stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and net of VAT.

Taxation status

The organisation as a registered charity does not incur corporation tax and reclaims any recoverable tax suffered on investment income.

40 The notes on page 39-58-form part of these financial statements.

Investments

Investments are shown at market value. The unrealised movement in market value from one year to another is taken to the appropriate fund. The market value of investments is determined by reference to stock exchange prices at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising during the year are disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA).

Cash and bank balances

Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

Fund accounting

General funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in pursuing the general charitable objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are created when funds (whether income or capital in nature) are given to, or raised by, the charity for use in a particular area or for a specific purpose only.

Endowment Funds

Pensions

The company contributes to individual staff’s pension schemes, whose assets are maintained separately from those of the charity. The pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charitable company to the funds during the year. All expenses under the pension scheme are included within unrestricted charitable activities.

Emoluments

The Trustees who are the directors of the company do not receive emoluments for their services nor do contracts of services exist between the Trustees and the Charitable company.

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 provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

These are assets, which must be held permanently by Homeopathy UK. The change to the value of the fund are reflected in the SOFA as realised and unrealised gains or losses. The income from the endowment funds is for the promotion of Homeopathy. During the 2021 financial year, with approval from the Charity Commission and former Samuel Goodenough Trust Trustees, this fund, totalling £60,143 at the date of transfer, was reclassified.

Gifts in kind

The charity includes individual gifts in kind where these are worth in excess of £500.

Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the statement of financial resources.

PERMANENT ENDOWMENTS

Permanent endowments are funds for which only the income from the endowment can be used to fund activities. The principal of the endowment cannot be spent. There are currently no permanent endowments held by Homeopathy UK.

RESTRICTED FUNDS

Homeopathy UK holds restricted funds which are given by donors for particular activities and can only be spent for those activities. The following are the restricted funds held by Homeopathy UK:

Clinics Appeal Fund: are funds raised to support Homeopathy UKís charitable and low-cost homeopathic clinics.

Philips Memorial: The fund is for use in Kent and for the promotion and advancement of homeopathy. Last year the Trustees agreed to provide a grant of £75,000 from the fund to be applied to the promotion work of Homeopathy UK, which includes the investment in new website, clinics and targeted research into public views of homeopathy.

Samuel Goodenough Trust: During the 2021 financial year, with approval from the Charity Commission and former Samuel Goodenough Trust Trustees, this fund, totalling £60,143 at the date of transfer, was reclassified from permanent endowment to restricted. The purpose for this fund is for the furtherance of education, research and promotion of veterinary homeopathy.

Peter Fisher Fund: is a fund in memory of Dr Peter Fisher for homeopathic research, education and international collaboration.

SHRET (Scottish Homeopathic Research

& Education Trust): is a Scottish charity which donated restricted funding to support Homeopathy UK charitable clinics running in Scotland.

The Homeopathic Post Graduate Teaching and Education Fund: The funds have been applied to homeopathic education and teaching.The full amount of the fund being £11,372 has been applied to the grant awarded to the Faculty of Homeopathy.

Mervyn Madge Fund: is for the naming of a section of a library focused on homeopathic pharmacy in memory of the late Christina Brenda Madge.

DESIGNATED FUNDS

Homeopathy UK decided the accounts from 2018-19 going forward would identify designated funds which quantify ongoing commitments into future accounting periods. This is to present a clearer picture of the true levels of unrestricted funds available to the organisation.

The funds are designated for ongoing grant commitments, funding to cover at least 6 months of our charitable clinic operations and redundancy costs in the event the charity needs to wind down unexpectedly.

Blackie Foundation Trust: is a grant from the Blackie Foundation Trust to support Homeopathy UK charitable and low cost clinics and to help develop educational opportunities through the clinics.
