## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 5[th ] APRIL 2023** 

The trustees present their report along with financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5[th] April 2023.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 of the financial statements, complying with the charities constitution dated 25[th] April 1978 and amended on 1[st] February 1991 and 19[th] October 2010. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in March 2005. 

The 2022-2023 Accounts have been examined and approved as an accurate representation and review of our activities, fundraising and spend during this period. 

## **TRUSTEES** 

Trustees in office during this period and of this report are set out on page 3. 

## **FUNDRAISING AND FINANCE** 

## **Income** 

During the year under review members, staff, friends and relatives of patients raised a total of £28,247 in a variety of different ways, including sponsorship events and donations in memory of patients who have sadly died.  Normal fundraising activities have continued to develop following the lifting of COVID restrictions.  Investment income was £12,995 and the unrealised loss (shown in income) on the COIF Investment Fund was £21,951, giving a total unrestricted income of £19,291.  We also received a £2,000 restricted donation from the estate of Dr Myint Wynn. 

## **Expenditure** 

In addition to pastoral and education support we also provide direct funding assistance in the form of purchase of equipment or materials for the Imperial Trust and associated units that endeavour to improve the patient experience during the course of their treatment.  The funding is provided in response to requests made by both patients and Trust staff.  The year ending 5[th] April 2023 saw an increase in requests for small capital and revenue grants which has been exacerbated by the continuing extreme financial pressure on the NHS. This has led to increasing requests to the WLKPA for support for expenditure which we would normally expect to be funded by the NHS. We have sought to balance resistance to this creeping encroachment with the need to ensure that patients are as comfortable as possible during treatment. The total unrestricted expenditure for the year ending 5[th] April 2023 was £30,495.   We spent £22,527 on charitable activities, £4,643 on fundraising costs, and governance costs of £3,325, the bulk of the latter on bookkeeping and accounting support, given the increasing amount of work required to address expanded bookkeeping requirements. This resulted in a year end unrestricted deficit of £11,203. 

When added to the funds balance brought forward at 6[th] April 2022 of £489,816 this left us with a funds balance at 5[th] April 2023 of £480,242. 

The West London Kidney Patients’ Association (WLKPA) is a charity representing patients suffering from kidney conditions or failure who are treated by the Imperial Renal and Transplant Centre, together with their carers, families and friends. It is one of the largest kidney patient associations in England, representing around 6,000 people at any one time. It is run wholly by volunteers and has over 350 members. WLKPA works closely with the staff of the West London Renal and Transplant Centre, but is a completely independent body funded entirely by donations.
