## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021** 

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 2021 Companies Act purposes. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice statements of the charity. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to 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

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021** 

## **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 ended 31[st] October 2021 was again impacted by Covid. We were unable to have a face-toface conference as in prior years. However, we organised a number of online events that were very well attended. Captain Phenix- our new mascot- made his debut. Edale went ahead this year , however Keswick  had to be cancelled. A year does not go by with out a survey. This year we had two (1) a  survey for parents with children adult patients over 18 asking them what they had experienced in metabolic clinics and what they expected. Both were well received and completed by many members and non-members for which we are grateful. 

During the year a number of publications including updates to old ones were drafted by a team of dedicated dietitians who met every Friday. Many of these have now been published on the website. Resulting downloads suggested these were much needed. Also, we re-established sending out hard copies of News and Views which was welcome by all. Towards the end of the year , we placed a new order for the new parent wallets which have been a great success with families with PKU babies. 

We looked at the possibility of funding some further research. Topics looked at were returning to diet , maternal PKU pre and post conception, and looking at the outcomes of patients over 50. The decision was deferred until the next financial year primarily due to a drop off in income. 

On the advocacy front: the PKU APPG met in November 2020 to discuss a variety of topics including the use of Sapropterin in maternal PKU, the effect of Brexit, Covid and the sugar tax. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence ( NICE ) published a recommendation in February 2021 for Sapropterin for children up to the age of 18. We held an online meeting with members about this before the April NICE Meeting. Many of our members and supporters made submissions during the consultation period. We have it on good authority that they had never been so busy during this timeframe. In their final recommendation, they recommended to NHS England that up to 10 mg for children up to the age of 18 and or use in pregnancy should be funded. In our opinion, this undervalued major issues for adults with PKU and was not acceptable. 

Although things went quiet to the end of the financial year , there was a lot of work going on in the background. In particular at the end of the year , it was announced that a generic form of Sapropterin had been approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ( MHRA). This led to NHS England approving the generic for all PKU patients that were responders. Loading tests on patients began in time for Christmas 2021. We are now seeking the same level of commitment from the Health Services in the rest of the United Kingdom.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021** 

We owe much to our advocacy team for spearheading this. We must not to forget all our members ,parliamentarians, consultants, and dietitians who supported us along the way. Well done to all and especially to Kate Learoyd and Caroline Graham whose indefatigability has seen us through. 

We have held seven Council of Management (COM) meetings during the year. In each meeting we review phone and email helpline logs. This enables us to establish what issues our membership are encountering in everyday life. Alas, each year throws up a challenge beyond our remit. In some cases we have to initiate multi-disciplinary actions to see a PKU patient and/or family through difficult times. Unfortunately, we do not see this abating any time soon. We have to be alert to these situations and act fast as we can. Currently, we believe we have the mechanisms in place to do this. 

We also monitor the number of requests for help with PIP and DLA. These seem to have increased during the year. The good news appears to be that more members are getting accepted (at various levels). We are striving to get PKU recognised in the DWP rulebook. This would ease the burden on the NSPKU and patients applying. 

Also, It has been noted that more and more PKU Adults are returning to diet. This is a very encouraging trendespecially when those returning to diet feel the benefits. 

all too briefly. The positive outcome from this, is it gave exposure to PKU. We had an online event to discuss this and late treated PKU. A most welcome discussion. 

the first 100 members who applied. There were many schools and nurseries who helped raise awareness of PKU. We held a virtual meeting with some first-class discussions and a tribute to Dr John Nobel-Nesbitt who passed away but gave so much to the NSPKU and formalised the Medical Advisory Panel. 

The Medical Advisory Panel (MAP) met twice during the year where we were updated about the Birmingham The full roll out will be in the next financial year. Genotyping is another hot topic discussed. This is carried out in Scotland at birth. It is not done automatically elsewhere in the UK. However, the conversation is changing in particular with the introduction of Sapropterin to establish who will be a responder. Large neutrino amino acids (LNAAs) were discussed, and we have suggested these could be another string to adult consultants in helping PKU adults cope with their diet. 

## **The Year Ahead** 

We shall continue with online meetings until we are able to meet face-to face again. We are organising a Conference in late September 2022 at a Hotel in Brigg , North Lincolnshire. Due to the lateness of this, we shall not have one in Spring 2023 as we are hosting the ESPKU Conference in October. We shall be planning next year for 2023 day events for members in Northern Ireland , England, Wales and Scotland. 

th Anniversary. We feel a lot of preparation needs to be done for this and we have already begun planning for it. We are looking to have a revised logo and branding for this. This may also be a good opportunity to rebrand the Society as a whole and discussions will be held mid 2022 on this topic. We expect that Edale will go ahead in 2022, but Keswick hangs in the balance 

Our meetings with MAP have traditionally been on a bi- annual basis. However due to issues with the protocol for -out, we have started to have more regular meetings. One of the major issues that keeps cropping up is food labelling. This is always an issue for PKU patients. Expect much work in this area in the future

Dear Sirs 

## **Financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2021** 

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 October 2021.  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 

- 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 


**E W Lange - Trustee** 


**I Williamson - Trustee**
