Year ended 30 June 2024
The Directors present their report, together with the audited financial statements of Juvenile Breakthrough T1D), for the year ended 30 June 2024.
This report has been prepared in accordance with Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and serves as the report of the Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 25 to 29 applicable laws 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), effective from accounting periods commencing 1 January 2015 or later.
JDRF is becoming Breakthrough T1D
As a UK registered charity, JDRF, now called Breakthrough T1D, is proud to be a part of a global network of independent but co-ordinated charities with the same name working towards the same goal: a world without type 1 diabetes. There are JDRF/Breakthrough T1D affiliates in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Israel.
Between 2023 and 2024, the JDRF group of charities together carried out a major brand review, culminating in a decision to rebrand to become Breakthrough T1D. The JDRF founding entity, based in the United States, previously called JDRF International, was the first to adopt the new name in June 2024, with other members of the global affiliation following suit throughout the year, including JDRF in the UK which became Breakthrough T1D in the UK in October 2024.
The extensive market research conducted for the rebrand, involving over 5,000 people living with or affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) around the world, determined that the name JDRF no longer represented who we are, what we do or the full spectrum of who we support. The has not been used as a clinical term for decades, and 88% of people living with T1D are adults.
The name Breakthrough T1D reflects our exclusive focus on the needs of the T1D community. breakthroughs in access to treatments and bringing the T1D community together to help everyone make their own personal breakthroughs.
In October 2024 JDRF in the UK changed its operating name to Breakthrough T1D. For the time being our legal name remains Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited, as we complete our rebrand in operational stages. Although this report covers a timeframe when we were known as JDRF, in this report we will refer to ourselves as Breakthrough T1D where appropriate in line with our new identity.
This year, Breakthrough T1D in the UK contributed £2 million to the global Breakthrough T1D research programme investing in the most promising research worldwide.

Our mission in the UK
As Breakthrough T1D we focus on what people living with type 1 diabetes need now and next. We break the barriers to help people manage the condition and enjoy full, healthy lives.
We lead the way to more effective solutions connecting the brightest minds to advance treatments, influence policy and improve access to care for those who need it.
We will make type 1 diabetes a thing of the past by accelerating research and driving innovation forward.
As we drive towards curing type 1 diabetes, we help make everyday life better for the people who face it.
Chair and CEO Foreword
It is with great pride that we report on a year defined by high impact. We have made breakthroughs in research, access to treatments, support for people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and a long overdue and very welcome change to a new name and brand identity. Our income has grown by 9% thanks to the commitment of our supporters.
We were delighted that in December 2023 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) approved hybrid closed loop (HCL) to be provided on the NHS. HCL takes readings from a glucose sensor to automatically adjust insulin delivery and will be offered to around 75% of people living with type 1 diabetes over the next five years in England and Wales.
Scotland now has a policy to provide HCL systems to people who need support managing their condition. Northern Ireland usually adopts the same guidance as England and Wales, and we expect to see technology access improve. HCL is the most transformational type 1 diabetes treatment since the discovery of insulin. That it is now starting to be provided by the NHS makes this a landmark year indeed.
We are proud to lead type 1 diabetes research, both as an affiliate in the global Breakthrough T1D network, and also by funding UK research in our own right. Thanks to the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge, our partnership with the Steve Morgan Foundation and Diabetes UK, we committed £3 million to research over the next two years into the root causes and triggers of type 1 diabetes in the UK. We awarded grants totalling a further £2.7 million in August 2024 to drive projects developing better and more responsive insulins over the next twelve months.
Restricted access to type 1 diabetes mental health treatments remains a key issue across the UK. We wrote the Type 1 Disordered Eating Parliamentary Inquiry report identifying key recommendations to improving care, which we launched across all BBC news channels in January 2024.
In March, in partnership with the social enterprise DigiBete, we launched Coping with Diabetes, a new mental health interactive digital tool to support children and young people living with T1D with their mental health. The new digital tool was created together with young people living with type 1 diabetes and specialist clinicians.

Chair and CEO Foreword (continued)
On top of all our achievements of the last year, we have set our ambitions for the future. In early 2025, we will launch a new strategy which will drive impact, inspire innovation, and generate engagement and income over the next ten years.
Despite economic uncertainty and cost of living constraints, our supporters have continued to invest in our work and fundraise in myriad ways, generously enabling us to drive growth in our income and our contribution to our mission. This generosity enables us to stand proud within the charity sector. We are extremely grateful for their support and continued investment in our mission.

OUR FY24 STRATEGY IMPACT
1. JDRF Rebrands to Breakthrough T1D
We announced our rebrand to Breakthrough T1D UK in June and switched to the new brand in October 2024. Our new name, visual identity and brand language explains our vision, mission and work. We launched the brand with integrated campaigns in June and October to a very positive response, engaging our existing audiences and reaching new beneficiaries. Our October brand campaign not only raised the profile of our work as a charity but also raised the profile of type 1 diabetes (T1D), and its daily challenges and the need for better treatments and cures.
In FY24 we significantly increased our national media coverage across print and broadcast Programme and 5Live) and Sky News, and front-page articles in the Guardian, as well as coverage in The Sun and the Sunday Mail. Our social media following has grown to over 100,000 followers across X, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, a 6% increase over the previous year. We have also seen a 25% increase in engagements over the last year.
2. FY24 mission goal - driving research
2.1 UK delivery of research and partnerships
A £50 million partnership between Breakthrough T1D and Diabetes UK funded by the Steve Morgan Foundation, the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge is accelerating research in three key areas: replacing the beta cells lost in the immune attack that causes type 1, developing more effective and responsive insulins (known as novel insulins) and investigating the root causes of type 1 diabetes. In FY24 the Root Causes Grand Challenge awarded £3 million in funding to two projects through the Immune Insights for T1D Therapy funding call, and these projects began in January 2024. Dr Danijela Tatovic is investigating whether a combination of two existing immunotherapy drugs can slow the progression of T1D. Dr James Pearson is working to determine if a new medicine that slows the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells can be more effective if administered at certain times of day.
In the Novel Insulins Challenge, The Novel Insulins Innovation Incubator was launched in November 2023, and in February 2024 researchers working on novel insulins pitched their ideas to an international expert review panel comprised of lay and scientific members in an -style process. In August 2024, the Grand Challenge granted funding of over £2.7 million to six new projects researching novel insulins. The projects are investigating ways to improve the effectiveness of insulin therapy, by developing innovative products including glucose-responsive insulins, an ultrafast insulin and a combined insulin and glucagon therapy.
The Connect Immune Research project brings together researchers working to understand conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Juvenile Arthritis Research, a charity focused on the autoimmune condition juvenile idiopathic arthritis, became the 12[th] member of the Connect Immune Research partnership.

2.1 Breakthrough T1D international delivery of research partnerships (continued)
In the last financial year, Breakthrough T1D UK delivered £2 million charitable funding to support the Breakthrough T1D global research programme.
In February, Breakthrough T1D in the US and the Helmsley Charitable Trust announced over £1.5 million in joint funding for five international researchers including Professor Claire Meek at the University of Leicester to access unique data sources and unravel how type 1 diabetes develops, with the goal of preventing the condition. Professor Meek is partnering with the Environmental Determinants of Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA) study to access their study data. The ENDIA study monitors close relatives of people with T1D, beginning when they are still in the womb, to unravel the role environmental and genetic factors play in initiating and influencing the development of type 1 diabetes.
The ELSA study, co-funded by Breakthrough T1D, is a screening study to identify people in the early stages of developing type 1 diabetes before symptoms show and was launched in November 2022 for children aged three to 13. In October 2023, the study expanded to Northern Ireland. It has now achieved its goal of recruiting 20,000 participants to be screened for biological signs of T1D and will continue to sign up new participants. The researchers in the ELSA study helped to develop a diagnostic code for use on electronic medical records of people in the earliest stages of type 1 diabetes, allowing them to receive better, more timely healthcare and access to emerging treatments.
A new test fixed to a slide (known as a biochip) that uses genetic information and an algorithm to generate a genetic risk score to help predict who is at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the UK. The test was developed by the UK diagnostics company Randox, using a genetic risk score developed by Professor Richard Oram at the University of Exeter with Breakthrough T1D funding.
The BANDIT (Baricitinib in New Onset Type 1 Diabetes) trial, a Breakthrough T1D-funded clinical trial in Australia, found that taking a baricitinib pill once-daily for 48 weeks delayed progression of type 1 diabetes. In people diagnosed with T1D within the previous 100 days, baricitinib preserved insulin-producing beta cell function, decreased blood glucose fluctuations, and reduced the need for insulin.
New international guidance published in June 2024 established for the first time how adults, -stage T1D should be supported and monitored. This includes the best methods and recommended frequency for re-testing to monitor disease progression across pre-symptomatic stages, as well as the point at which insulin should be introduced. The detailed guidance was driven by Breakthrough T1D in the US and co-authored by more than 60 international T1D experts, including Breakthrough T1D-funded researchers and expert members of the US staff team.

2.1 Breakthrough T1D international delivery of research partnerships (continued)
In June 2024, Vertex Pharmaceutics presented the latest data from the VX-880 clinical trial, where people with type 1 diabetes are given stem cell derived islets (based on decades of Breakthrough T1D-funded research by Professor Doug Melton) alongside immunosuppressant drugs. They reported that 12 people with type 1 have now received the began making insulin in response to glucose within 90 days, with 11 out of the 12 patients needing less insulin or achieving insulin independence. The therapy also reduced HbA1c levels, eliminated severe hypos and improved time-in-range.
3. FY24 Accelerating access to treatments
We played an integral part in the appraisal process which resulted in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) formally recommending the adoption of hybrid closed loop (HCL) technology in England and Wales in December 2023.
Our campaigning led to a widening of the criteria for access to HCL on the NHS. In January 2024, NHS England published its five-year implementation strategy for HCL, under which 75% of people with type 1 would meet the criteria for the technologies. The strategy included a commitment to establish a national framework of HCL technologies for NHS integrated care boards (ICB) to purchase from. NHS England will allow ICBs to request reimbursement for 75% of the cost of expanding HCL access. NHS England also expects clinicians to be properly trained by manufacturers on the use of HCL technologies.
In Scotland, NHS funding was set aside in May 2024 to support the rollout of HCL to all children living with type 1 and expand provision of HCL for adults with type 1. In April 2024, the Northern Ireland Department of Health confirmed that it was considering introducing HCL treatment.
Our Pathways to Choice report was cited as core evidence by NHS England in the development of pilot programmes on health inequalities, particularly with regards to clinician support and how healthcare professionals can better advise and support those living with T1D.
In January 2024 we launched the Parliamentary Inquiry report into type 1 diabetes and disordered eating (T1DE) chaired by then MPs Sir George Howarth and Rt Hon Theresa May. nsensus on T1DE diagnosis, creating a data registry to establish UK incidence and outcomes, funding for integrated care pilots and the establishment of a comprehensive prevention programme. Theresa May, our Global Research Ambassador, raised this inquiry d Questions. We are now working on building cross-sector consensus and funding to support the implementation of these recommendations.

4. FY24 Providing information and support for people type 1
In March, we launched the Coping with Diabetes interactive psychological support tool for young people aged 10-14, in partnership with DigiBete and co-designed with the Children and Young People Psychology Network. Available on the DigiBete app, which provides information and support to children and young people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the tool uses real-life stories, animations and interactive activities to help reframe thoughts and feelings about diabetes. It supports children and young people to develop resilience, reducing diabetes distress and helping them to cope with the daily challenges of living with T1D.
Our information and support resources continue to be widely used and valued. Our schools CPD e-Learning module, developed in partnership with the NHS, has been accessed by 26,000 users, the highest number ever. We distributed 4,600 Kidsacs, a free bag for newlydiagnosed children. The bag includes Rufus, a cuddly toy bear who has special felt patches on his test and injection sites that children can practice on.
In FY24, our information and support resources were accessed by 3,592 adults (an 8% increase on FY23) and 7,495 families (a 12% increase). Our online resources were downloaded 9,557 times (a 223% increase) following the launch of our new website, which was
We have continued to focus our free community events on bringing people together to exchange information about living with T1D and facilitate a greater degree of peer support, working with strategic partners and the NHS. We have focused on locations which are more inclusive, increased lived experience talks and panels and widened the diversity of speakers. We hosted fewer events in FY24 (nine as opposed to 15 in FY23) but saw a 16% increase in the average number of attendees. These events, provided for the T1D community, maintained their consistently high customer ratings of 4.6 out of 5.
Last year we were delighted to help broker an NHS England pilot with the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community to increase access and uptake of diabetes treatments and services, as these are communities that face systematic health inequalities.
5. Looking Forward
Our ambitious ten-year strategic mission and goals, supported by our new brand, will lead us into a decade of transformational research, where we will invest in the most promising global research and build on the scientific expertise in the UK. Over the next ten years, we will remain dedicated to transforming this research into reality for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), turning scientific advancements into tangible treatments that people are able to access at the point of need. We will also be focused on reaching more of the T1D community and engaging them with our work and building our community of support to accelerate impact and progress.
Making breakthroughs happen: Global Research
Our global research strategy has two core objectives: curing type 1 diabetes and improving research into early detection, disease-modifying therapies and cell therapie 1 easier until the day we can cure it.

5. Looking Forward (continued)
Making breakthroughs happen: UK Research
In FY25 our work through the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge will continue to accelerate research and new treatment development. The six novel insulin international research projects, announced in August 2024, will begin. In the autumn of 2024, a new project examining the root causes of T1D will be launched. In November, the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge will hold a symposium in London that brings together the funded researchers in the root causes and replacing beta cells Challenges with people who have lived experience of type 1.
Bringing breakthroughs to the community: Access to Treatments
We will be working with NICE to assess the NHS use of teplizumab to help delay the onset of T1D. At the same time, we will be advocating for an NHS care pathway to support the treatment and care of children who have been screened and identified as having early-stage type 1 diabetes. We will continue to advocate for increased access to HCL across the four nations. We will build the stakeholder consensus needed to secure national funding and support for the T1DE Parliamentary Inquiry recommendations to be implemented.
Bringing breakthroughs to the community: Living well
We will continue to provide relevant and high quality information and support to those living with and affected by T1D in the devolved nations of the UK. We will deliver more personalised content: around type 1 diabetes technology treatments options and information content on how T1D affects people at different life stages.
With the increase in early detection and screening for early-stage type 1 diabetes, we will increase our information and support offering for those who have been identified as having the biomarkers which indicate early-stage type 1 diabetes. We will work in partnership with the T1D community and healthcare professionals at an individual and population level to ensure that people living with type 1 receive high quality care and support.
Deepening engagement and support to enable breakthroughs: Engagement
We will implement our new brand to increase awareness and understanding of our work to substantially increase engagement and build relationships with the T1D community and beyond.
Deepening engagement and support to enable breakthroughs: Income
We will drive income growth by maximising and unlocking new opportunities to engage with and contribute to our mission. We will protect and grow our core income, substantially increase our income through diversification and provide a quality, data-driven supporter experience.

FY24 FINANCIAL REVIEW
Summary
Breakthrough T1D achieved its highest ever level of income in FY24, growing by over £0.5m to £6.7m. This is despite the fact that this was the first year since FY21 in which no funds were received from the joint DCMS/SMF Community Match Challenge (CMC) programme. This £3m three year award was received on a front loaded basis between FY21 and FY23, so it is a remarkable achievement to have replaced this amount and more from our own fundraising and engagement activity over the last three years.
This has also been the year in which we made initial research payments through the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge. More, and larger, payments will be following in FY25 in our two areas of Grand Challenge activity: Novel Insulins and Root Causes of Type 1 Diabetes.
While income grew by 9%, funds spent on charitable purposes grew by 12%, with similar levels of growth in both our research funding and our support and awareness goals. Charitable spending grew to £4.4m this year from £3.9m last year. Reserves dropped over the year from £2.6m to £2.3m, in line with our budget for the year, as we spent carried forward restricted funds and invested in our once-in-a-generation rebrand.
Income generation
Income of £6.7m grew by 9% on the previous year (FY23: £6.1m). Income during FY24 from the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge programme of £0.4m was at similar levels to income received from the Community Match Challenge the previous year. Fundraised income however grew once again by £0.4m, contributing significantly to the overall growth in income experienced over the year.
Charitable Expenditure
Research funding grew by £0.3m to £2.9m. UK and global research achievements during the year are described on pages five to seven. Breakthrough T1D's support and awareness costs grew to £1.5m (FY23: £1.3m). Details of the activities and achievements of our work in these areas are described on pages eight to nine, including preparations for the launch of our new name and brand in October 2024.
Expenditure costs of raising funds
With events constituting a higher proportion of fundraising activity during FY24, the cost of raising funds grew to £2.55m (FY23: £2.23m).
JDRF Trading Limited
These accounts consolidate the income, costs, assets and liabilities of JDRF Trading Limited (name unchanged) with those of parent charity Breakthrough T1D. This small wholly owned trading subsidiary enables Breakthrough T1D to take advantage of opportunities to develop revenue from the corporate sector through sponsorship of certain events and activities for people with type 1. The company produces separate accounts which can be obtained from marised in note 12 to further by 14% to £406,000 (FY23: £355,000), with operating profit for the year (gift aided in full to Breakthrough T1D) growing by 13% to £311,000 (FY23: £273,000), as costs grew slightly more than income.

FY24 FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Balance sheet for the charitable group
Cash and short-term deposits at 30 June 2024 totalled £2.3m (FY23: £2.6m). Cash is held in instant access and short-term deposit accounts that allow the best rate of interest at the level of risk deemed acceptable.
Debtors at the year-end were £520,000 (FY23: £380,000), of which £340,000 related to accrued income (FY23: £170,000). Of the total year end debtors figure, 98% had been received by November, and the outstanding balance is not considered at risk. Creditors were £580,000 (FY23: £495,000).
Funds
Restricted funds dropped during FY24 from £0.8m to £0.64m. As indicated last year, we have now spent the £0.5m CMC funds carried forward from FY23 (apart from some residual depreciated amounts), though the movements in other funds (note 17) has had some mitigating impact in keeping restricted funds at a fairly high level compared to our historical position.
Unrestricted funds dropped from £1.77m to £1.63m. The impact of this change on paragraph below.
FY25 and beyond
higher research commitments under the Grand Challenge programme. We also expect our fundraised income to continue to grow, driving our charitable impact for people with type 1. While total income will increase considerably, Grand Challenge income, the majority of the growth expected, will be fully accounted for by onward research grants and related new activity costs. As a result it will not in any other way affect Breakthro position.

Activity in Scotland
Breakthrough T1D has staff based in Scotland, supported by a number of committed volunteers. We are supported by the public across Scotland which also raises funds on £310,000 during the year. In line with its goal of funding the best research wherever it is taking place in the world, Breakthrough T1D funds type 1 diabetes research in Scotland and during FY24 funded projects led by the Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee.
Breakthrough T1D fundraising statement
Almost all our work driving the search to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes (T1D), and to help and support people affected by T1D, is made possible by fundraised income thanks to our generous supporters. Fundraising is vital to our work in achieving our charitable mission, and we are passionate about building strong, long-lasting relationships with our supporters through considerate fundraising and supporter care.
We raise funds across a full mix of income generation methods. Our fundraising and engagement department lead this work, with almost all fundraising activity managed in-house. It is supported from time to time by a professional telephone fundraising agency.
Fundraising on our behalf
When we appoint a fundraising agency, we ensure their work on our behalf is effective and aligned with our values and responsibilities. Any partners that we use are corporate members of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising, registered as a commercial supplier with the Fundraising Regulator, and comply with the codes of practice of both organisations. In line with recommendations from the Fundraising Regulator we train agency fundraisers according to our standards and expectations, and monitor calls made on our behalf on a regular basis.
Our Supporter Promise
We developed our supporter promise to make sure that everyone who comes into contact with us is respected and valued, and to let them know that their data is safe and secure with us. Our supporter promise can be found at https://jdrf.org.uk/how-to-help/give/donate/oursupporter-promise/. To date we have received three suppression requests from the Fundraising Preference Service. All three requests were resolved in line with Fundraising Preference Service rules and our own internal procedures.
Further fundraising regulation
We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adhere to its code of Fundraising Practice. Breakthrough T1D is a member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising. We are committed to best practice in fundraising and to complying with all statutory regulations, including the Charities Act 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the Mailing and Telephone Preference Services.
Complaints
During FY24, we received twelve complaints about our fundraising activities, none of which were related to intrusion of privacy, unreasonable persistence or pressure to give. All complaints were resolved satisfactorily, with none being referred to external regulatory bodies.

Our external fundraisers receive training in recognising vulnerable people. We take steps to ensure our telemarketing campaigns avoid unreas
not making telemarketing calls during unsociable hours and limiting the number of times we call unanswered numbers. We limit the number of times we make financial requests for support in a single call to avoid applying undue pressure. We monitor and limit the number of mail, email and telephone communications we send to supporters asking for their financial support, ensuring requests are not unreasonably persistent.
Financial policies and activities
Cash and Reserves policy
activities. The Board has adopted a cash and reserves policy which is designed to assist with managing reasonable levels of risk, making funds available for future activities and providing for cash flow movements, while maximising the flow of funds to research.
The Board reviews its reserves policy with reference to Charity Commission guidelines every two years, and changes were introduced during FY24, including clarifying the relationship between cash levels during the year and the reserves position at the year end. The policy assesses historical costs and income, and establishes required operating levels for cash balances during the year and year end free reserve levels. The Board expects Breakthrough T1D at its current scale to hold minimum free reserves of £1.1m, and to aim to hold £1.65m when circumstances allow. Free reserves (unrestricted funds minus fixed assets) of £1.57m at the year end were well above the minimum level required.
Risk management and mitigation
The Board monitors the principal business and control risks to Breakthrough T1D, within a control framework. The risk assessment register is reviewed twice a year by senior management and updated accordingly. Strategies and timelines have been agreed for the management and limitation of identified risks, the most important of which have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board.
At present Breakthrough T1D has no red risks (risk score 15+) and two amber risks (risk score 9-12) out of a possible total of 25. The Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge programme brings complexity and potential risk in several areas, though with significant mitigations in place. The other risk relates to the potential impact on a charity the size of Breakthrough T1D should several key staff leave over a short period of time. Breakthrough T1D has policies and good practice aimed at staff retention and talent management, and reviews succession planning for critical roles on a regular basis.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited, now using the operating name Breakthrough T1D as described above, is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated on 6 November 1986 and registered as a charity on 14 May 1987. The objects and powers of the company are set out in, and governed by, its articles of association. Revised and updated articles of association were adopted in 2017, and the new operating name of Breakthrough T1D was adopted in August 2024 and publicly launched in October 2024.
Breakthrough T1D is governed by a Board of Directors, the members of which are the trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity law, and which meets at least five times a year. The Board sets the strategic goals of Breakthrough T1D, reviews the pursuit of charitable objectives, establishes policy, and monitors financial status and compliance with legal requirements. The Chief Executive assists the Board in these activities and together with the staff is responsible for the implementation of the chari running of the charity.
The Board of Directors has established two Sub-Committees to assist in the efficient execution of its responsibilities and duties: the Succession and Development Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee. In addition, the Board has informal progress meetings between the quarterly Board business meetings at which there is the opportunity to hear updates on current issues or have fuller discussions of wider matters of interest.
The Succession and Development Committee (made up of at least three current or former Directors and an independent recruitment expert) meets as needed and is responsible for identifying and recruiting new Directors and ensuring retention and development of senior level volunteers. No recruitment activity took place during the year as new Directors were appointed in March 2023 in advance of Directors retiring during FY24.
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for Breakthrough T1D's compliance with statutory reporting, managing the relationship with the external auditor, reviewing the draft accounts and accompanying report, Breakthrough T1D's risk management and a range of financial controls and processes. This Committee is made up of the Treasurer and at least two other Directors, is attended by the Director of Finance and Resources and Head of Finance and meets at least twice a year.
We are delighted that two members of the UK board have also been appointed to roles within the Breakthrough T1D International charity headquartered in the United States. Wilson Leech (UK Vice Chair and Chair of our Audit and Risk Committee) joined the International Audit Committee in July 2023, and Per Lundin joined the International Research Committee in July 2023. This committee was merged and re-named the Mission Impact Committee in July 2024, and Per also joined the Board of Directors of Breakthrough T1D International in July 2024.

All potential Directors of Breakthrough T1D go through a nomination process before they join the Board. This is within the remit of the Succession and Development Committee which has the goal of identifying and meeting individuals who have the necessary skills, experience and the Board and serve an initial term of three years but may be re-appointed for a further term of three years.

Year ended 30 June 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Induction of new Directors
Prior to appointment, potential Directors meet our Chief Executive, Chairman, and representatives from the Succession and Development Committee to discuss the work of a Board Director in depth, and the expectations and responsibilities of the role. They are given an overview of organisational history, current activities and strategy. Following their appointment to the Board, new Directors have induction meetings with the senior management team and are given relevant key documentation.
Remuneration of key management personnel
The executive team consists of the Chief Executive and five Director of Department roles: Research Partnerships, Policy and Communications, Fundraising and Engagement, Finance and Resources and People and Operations, as detailed in the reference section on page 16.
Breakthrough T1D is committed to being open about the work that we do to achieve our mission. Our approach to pay and reward is that this should enable us to recruit and retain the skilled staff we need to create a world without type 1 diabetes. All staff, including the senior management team, are normally eligible for an annual cost of living pay award, and a progression pay scheme that rewards staff who make a significant contribution to the charity. The amount paid to senior staff reflects the market for jobs in comparable organisations, the performance of the organisation and the skills and contribution of the individual performing the role. Salaries of senior staff are reviewed biennially against the market by a specialist pay and reward consultancy and agreed by the three board officers.
Volunteers
Volunteers play a vital role at Breakthrough T1D. All Board Directors and advisors from the scientific community give their time free of charge. Two hundred people with lived experience of type 1 are on our Insight and Experience Panel. In the past year volunteers from the Panel have supported more than 20 projects on subjects including the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on long-term conditions, providing recommendations for guidance supporting people with T1D in the workplace, and the use of AI software for diabetes retinal screening. We have more than 100 Youth Ambassadors aged 25 or under who share their experiences of living with type 1 to raise funds for Breakthrough T1D and awareness of type 1 diabetes. A group of our Youth Ambassadors joined a Patient Advisory Group to help design the SMILE T1D trial. This is a small sample of the ways in which in FY24 hundreds of people, many living with type 1, gave us their time and lent us their skills to help us create a world without type 1. We are very grateful for every one of our dedicated volunteers.

report 30 June 2024
Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation Limited, trading as Breakthrough T1D since October 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, group and charitable parent company balance sheets and consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, i Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
affairs as at 30 June 2024 ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
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 for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to 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 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 ng 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited 19
report 30 June 2024
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the director responsibilities statement, the directors 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 directors 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 directors applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the either intend to liquidate the group or the charitable parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 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 is detailed below.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
-
we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group and parent charity and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended)), and those that relate to fundraising including The Code of Fundraising Practice.
We assessed the susceptibility of the group including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited 20
report 30 June 2024
(continued) To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
performed substantive testing on expenditure including the authorisation thereof;
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located
Use of our report
directors as a body, in accordance with Section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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.

Principal accounting policies 30 June 2024
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared for the year to 30 June 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements.
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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Basis of consolidation
The statement of financial activities and balance sheet consolidate the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary undertaking, JDRF Trading Limited. The results of the subsidiary undertaking are consolidated on a line-by-line basis.
No separate statement of financial activities or statement of cashflows has been prepared for the charity above as permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the financial statements requires the directors and management to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
assessing the probability of receipt of legacy income;
-
allocation of support and governance costs;
-
estimating the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining a depreciation rate; and
-
estimating future income and expenditure flows for the purpose of assessing going concern (see below).
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited 25
Principal accounting policies 30 June 2024
Assessment of going concern
The directors have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The directors have made this assessment with respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The directors of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The directors are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Income recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount of income can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Income received by way of subscriptions, donations and gifts to the charity is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Donations are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and settlement date. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the receipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Donated services and facilities provided to the charity are recognised in the period when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the charity, provided they can be measured reliably. This is normally when the service is provided. An equivalent amount is included as expenditure.
Donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain facilities or services of equivalent economic benefits on the open market.
Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the legacy, the executors have established that there are sufficient surplus assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the control of the charity.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited 26
Principal accounting policies 30 June 2024
Income recognition (continued)
Entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title of the asset having being transferred to the charity.
Revenue grants are credited to the statement of financial activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier.
Where entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the charity's control, the incoming resources are recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the charity can meet such conditions the incoming resource is deferred.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Expenditure is allocated to a particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. The cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central functions, is apportioned on the basis of an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.
Premises and office costs are allocated based on the amount of floor space attributable to each activity, except for regional offices which are split 75% cost of generating funds, 5% research advocacy and 20% support and awareness.
Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs
The costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the group in raising funds for the charitable work.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited 27
Principal accounting policies 30 June 2024
