FUNDRAISING AND FINANCE
Income
During the year under review members, staff, friends and relatives of patients raised a total of £4,086 in a variety of different ways. Investment income was £12,770 and the unrealised gain (shown in income) on the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund was £32,008, giving a total unrestricted income of £49,212.
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 2024 saw a further increase from 2022-2023 in requests for small capital and revenue grants driven by the continuing extreme financial pressure on the NHS. The total unrestricted expenditure for the year ending 5[th] April 2024 was £38,288. We spent £31,262 on charitable activities, £3,541 on fundraising costs, and governance costs of £3,485, the bulk of the latter on bookkeeping and accounting. This resulted in a year end unrestricted surplus of £10,924.
When added to the funds balance brought forward at 6[th] April 2023 of £480,242 this left us with a funds balance at 5[th] April 2024 of £491,166.
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.
