## **THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHENYLKETONURIA (UNITED KINGDOM) LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

The trustees of The National Society for Phenylketonuria (United Kingdom) Limited who are also the directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published October 2019. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT:** 

## **Governing document** 

NSPKU is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated on 27 April 1976 and registered with the Charity Commission on 16 June 1977. 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 27 April 1976, as amended by Special Resolution dated 2 March 1991 and Special Resolution dated 19 March 2011. 

## **Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of new trustees** 

Vacancies that arise from time to time as determined and agreed by the Council of Management shall be advertised in the Society Magazine and website in the first instance. Applicants will be vetted and appointed by the Senior Officers and appointees will be made aware of their legal obligations. Training will be given in line with Charity Commission procedures and the Charities SORP (Statement of Operating Recommended Practice). This is a position not to be taken lightly and an honest commitment is required. The same will apply to professionals supporting the society. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The society is controlled by the Council of Management.  Trustees during the year are shown on page 1.  The Council meets at least four times a year and the senior officers meet separately up to twice a year. 

The senior officers meet to discuss issues at greater length than is possible at Council of Management meetings.  This allows them to define NSPKU policy proposals for discussion of the Council of Management. 

All meetings mentioned above have minutes taken.  Decisions will be made where possible by consensus; otherwise a majority vote will be used. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify the risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed the risks and established appropriate systems or procedures to mitigate those risks. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES:** 

## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit** 

The objectives of the charity are to promote the educational, medical and social welfare of persons suffering from phenylketonuria and similar disorders controlled by diet, to establish or encourage research in phenylketonuria and related disorders, to establish and maintain a fund or funds from which to make grants for

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit (continued)** 

the purpose of fulfilling the objects of the society, to invite, procure, appeal for, collect and receive and accept subscriptions, donations, legacies and gifts of money, investments or other property.  The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives, and in planning future objectives. 

## **Grant making policy** 

The allocation of grants is decided on an individual basis as an application is made.  The application where possible will be discussed by the Council of Management (anonymously if necessary) but if this is not possible a decision will be made by the senior officers and minutes taken at the next Committee of Management meeting. Where applicable, we shall seek guidance from our Medical Advisory Panel. 

## **Volunteers** 

All members of the Council of Management are volunteers.  They are encouraged to contribute freely to all discussions and decisions made by the Council.  Meetings have minutes taken to reflect discussions, decisions and dissentions. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE:** 

The financial year ending 31[st] October 2020 was overshadowed by Covid 19. Fortunately, we held our main event -our Annual Conference - earlier in the year in February 2020. 

Given many charity events had been cancelled for example the London Marathon, the Council of Management were concerned about income generation (from our members and supporters) and also costs budgeted for the year. Consequently, we agreed an emergency budget in early April. It was shown that if things continued as was, the Charity would be facing a large five figure loss for the year. 

As a result of the emergency budget, we suspended hard copy publications. All publications were published on the website, while News & Views was sent electronically to our members. Some working hours were restricted and as a result costs were cut. The fact that Edale and Keswick were also cancelled, contributed to cost savings as well.  The Council of Management held virtual monthly meetings right through to the end of the financial year to monitor income and spent. These online meetings helped contribute to a reduction of our corporate governance costs for the year as well. 

We recognise the tremendous effort made by our members and supporters (including industry) in helping to achieve this and maintain the integrity of our assets on behalf of our members. It was a tremendous team effort, and I can only thank them publicly for all their hard work in turning around the finances to deliver a surplus. 

We can approach the 2020 financial year on a going concern basis with some confidence. 

By not having any face-to-face events post Conference, we were conscious we needed to communicate virtually to our members to help through the Covid crisis and keep their spirits up. Naturally, this mitigated any risk of spreading the virus. 

Our Conference was held in Maidstone, Kent this year and was well attended. On the Saturday news broke in the Daily Express that they would get behind our campaign to get sapropterin routinely commissioned. Several copies were purchased, and a short video made of the Conference attendees thanking them. They continue to support our campaign.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

On 28[th] June 2019 - International PKU Day – we held our first virtual event. This was essentially, a mini telethon that resulted not only a boost to our finances but also an increase in membership. Great appreciation goes to those who contributed their own time freely for this event. 

Our Medical Advisory Panel met twice during the year and our Society dietitian started Friday meetings for dedicated dietitians to participate. Through this latter initiative, many publications have been updated and new ones written for members and the PKU Community. There is a currently an active production line of important publications – many of which have been posted already on our website. 

Our Advocacy team has had several meetings with the All-Party Parliamentary Group and much progress has been made in obtaining important information for the Society to act on behalf of members. Despite the application for **Sapropterin** being rejected again by NHS England, The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) is conducting an appraisal which is expected in April 2021. NHS England called on the manufacturer to offer the drug at a fair price. If the NICE appraisal recommends Sapropterin for routine commissioning, the drug will be made available within England and Wales.  NICE guidance is also usually followed in Northern Ireland.  NHS England has also stated that it would also commission any generic version(s) of Sapropterin from the next financial year onwards (2021) on the condition that these manufacturers price their products below the maximum level NICE advises as representing a clinically and cost-effective use of NHS resources. 

In addition to the above, our support staff – together with the Advocacy team have acted on behalf of many members in obtaining Disability Living Allowance (SLA) and Personal Independence Payments (PIP). 

## **The Year Ahead** 

Any Conference we have in 2021 is expected to be a day Conference in the North West of England. 

At this stage, both Edale and Keswick will go ahead as usual. 

We shall look to build on International PKU Day video telethon our video conference. Coupled with this, it is likely our “Spring Draw” will become our “Summer Draw” and we shall potentially hold this at the same time. We shall look to NICE for a positive report on Sapropterin in April and advocate for routine commissioning. We do have input into this appraisal and we hope we can influence the decision for a positive response so that PKU Patients can benefit throughout the UK. 

Our News and Views will be produced in hard copy in 2021 as we do not anticipate a severe financial downside and many members were thrilled to get their hard copy “back” in late November 2020. 

No grants for research were made in the financial year due to financial pressures and many researchers either being furloughed, or research stopped. However, we shall pay for food analysis of some foods in the year. Analysis of phenylalanine content in natural foods is not cheap so we need to be selective in what we pay for. 

Of vital importance is the PKU network within the UK. We aim to foster support groups throughout the country. If you wish to start one, please get in touch at info@nspku.org. 

We extend our gratitude to all our support staff for all their hard work for the year including the transition of the position of Administrator from Caroline Bridges to Alison Green. Caroline has been a tremendous help to the Society during her tenure as Administrator and helped with a smooth handover earlier in the year. We wish her and her family the very best for the future. 

To all our members and the wider PKU Community a sincere thank you to all for your contributions to the NSPKU – be they financial or otherwise.

**THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHENYLKETONURIA (UNITED KINGDOM) LIMITED NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** 

## 1 **Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The National Society for Phenylketonuria (United Kingdom) Limited is an incorporated charity registered in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.  The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are explained in the Trustees Report. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued on October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and it is probable that the income will be received. 

Grants are recognised in the SOFA when receivable. When donors specify that grants given to the charity must be used in the future financial years, the income is deferred until that year. Assets and investments donated to the charity are included as donation income at market value at the time of the receipt. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

MHA Moore and Smalley Richard House 9 Winckley Square Preston PR1 3HP 

Dear Sirs 

## **Financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020** 

The following representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience such as we consider necessary in connection with your independent examination of the charitable company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020.  These enquiries have included inspection of supporting documentation where appropriate.  All representations are made to the best of our knowledge and belief. 

- 1 We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and that you do not express an audit opinion. 

- 2 We confirm that the charitable company was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial year ended 31 October 2020 audited. 

- 3 We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement letter dated 29 January 2020, under the Charities Act 2011 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you. 

- 4 All the transactions undertaken by the charitable company have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. 

- 5 All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination.  We have provided you with unrestricted access to all appropriate persons within the charitable company, and with all other records and related information requested, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission. 

- 6 The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions. 

- 7 We believe that the effect of uncorrected misstatements as set out in this letter is immaterial both individually and in total. 

- 8 The charitable company has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charitable company’s assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. 

- 9 All actual liabilities, contingent liabilities and guarantees given to third parties have been recorded or disclosed as appropriate. 

- 10 We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and where relevant the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements. 

- 11 Significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable. 



Page 2 

- 12 We have disclosed to you all claims in connection with litigation that have been, or are expected to be, received and such matters, as appropriate, have been properly accounted for, and disclosed in, the financial statements. 

- 13 We have disclosed to you all known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements. 

- 14 Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements. We have disclosed to you all relevant information concerning such relationships and transactions and are not aware of any other matters which require disclosure in order to comply with legislative and accounting standards requirements. 

- 15 All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed. 

- 16 We believe that the charitable company's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charitable company's needs.  We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.   We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements. 

- 17 All grants, donations and other income, the receipt of which is subject to specific terms or conditions, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions in the application of such income. No restricted income was received in the year ended 31 October 2020. 

- 18 We approve the year end journals. 

- 19 At the year end £36,096.42 was held in the COIF Investment Management Account. 

Yours faithfully
