The Council members are pleased to present their report, together with the unaudited financial statements of the Society for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and financial statements for Companies Act purposes.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 form part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The British Blood Transfusion Society was established in May 1983 as a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association (revised September 2011). It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. Every member undertakes to contribute such an amount not exceeding £1, as may be required in the event of the Society being wound up while he is a member or within one year after he ceases to be a member.
Appointment of Council members
The Council members consist of officers, elected members and Past President or President Elect. Officers consist of the President of the Society who holds office for two years and the Secretary and Treasurer who hold office for three years. The President can remain as a Council member for a further year after retirement from the office of President. The Secretary and Treasurer are eligible for re-appointment by Council, but neither can serve more than six consecutive years in office.
The elected Council members shall be those members of the Council who are not officers and shall each hold office for a period of three years; so far as possible they shall be made up of a mix of professional categories and be representative of the current membership; the period of office may be extended from time to time by the President for a year with a maximum of three extensions providing a maximum term of six years.
The Council members of the charitable company (excluding co-opted members) are its directors for the purposes of company law and trustees for the purposes of charity law. The elected Council members hold office for a period of three years.
Calls for nominations for officers and elected members of Council are made in the BBTS Bloodlines Newsletter and also on the Society’s website. Nominees must be UK members and must have been a member of the Society for a minimum of two years. Nominations must be proposed and seconded by two Society members. Details of the nominees are then published on the ballot papers.
Induction and training of Council members
All new Council members are given an induction pack containing information, links and paperwork about the roles and responsibilities of trustees published by the Charity Commission. They also receive past Council meeting papers and dates of forthcoming Council meetings.
At the first meeting of the new Council, new members are introduced to individual Council members and specific areas of responsibility for new members are discussed and agreed. The Society’s office then provides all the necessary background information and paperwork for new Council members’ individual areas of responsibility.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Objectives and activities (continued)
The Council sets itself annual objectives, in furtherance of the above main objectives of the Society. Each objective has a performance measure and responsibility is allocated to a Council member or Council sub-committee. Performance against the annual objectives is reviewed at Council meetings throughout the year and a progress report published in the Annual Review for members to view.
The Council confirm that they have been given the general guidance produced by the Charity Commission on public benefit including the guidance ‘public benefit running a charity (PB2)’. The Council are confident that public benefit is achieved through the study of blood transfusion and development.
Achievements and performance
The Society’s charitable activities focus on the study of blood transfusion and are undertaken to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit as described in the following paragraphs:
-
The Society’s events were mostly postponed during the year due to the impact of COVID-19 however the Society delivered its first Virtual event in December 2020 ensuring it met its AGM obligations to members on time.
-
The Society has protected its finances during the year and worked hard for members to ensure it can continue and expand on its works and activities in the years ahead.
-
Our post nominal letters were successfully launched including the much sought after Fellowship (FBBTS) which is awarded through an application process and decided by Council.
-
The education programmes continue to provide valuable education and training opportunities and set out transfusion best practice. 162 people took an examination with an overall 75% pass rate and 90 text books were separately purchased. Our VLE delivery software was improved to enhance the student experience.
-
The CPD scheme provides a specific framework for transfusion professionals. This year the Society had 456 members who were both registered and active on the scheme. CPD News continues to provide members relevant opportunities to learn and reflect. The Society continued to improve its online CPD tool for members to populate and submit returns electronically.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Achievements and performance (continued)
Membership of the Society has changed during the year as follows:
| Number of members on 1 April 2020 Number of new members Number of members who left Number of members on 31 March 2021 |
1,643 168 (220) 1,591 |
|---|---|
Financial review
The principal funding sources of the Society are from training income and membership subscriptions. Income from these sources is shown in note 5 to the financial statements.
The net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £32,273 (2020: £31,639), as shown in the statement of financial activities. There was no gift aid donation (2020: £nil) from the subsidiary this year, so the operational surplus was £32,273 (2020: surplus of £31,639). The group surplus for the year was £44,970 (2020: surplus £43,898).
Reserves policy
Council has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, designated or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) held by the group should equate to at least £400,000. The reserves are needed to meet the ongoing working capital requirements of the group, to bridge any funding gaps during the development of new activities and to enable the group to continue its current activities in the event of a significant drop in income.
The free reserves of the charity as at 31 March 2021 were £352,200 (2020: £320,379) and those of the trading subsidiary add a further £72,068 (2020: £59,371), a total of £424,268 (2020: £379,750).
Investment powers and policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Society has the power to make investments as the Council members see fit.
Having regard to the Society’s liquidity requirements and reserves policy, Council have, in recent years, operated a policy of keeping available funds in interest-bearing deposit accounts.
Plans for future periods

-
forming a new strategy for membership expansion;

THE BRITISH BLOOD TRANSFUSION SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Statement of the Council members’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The Council members (who are also directors of the Society for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the report of the Council members and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Council members to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Council members are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Council members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS OF
THE BRITISH BLOOD TRANSFUSION SOCIETY
I report to the Council members on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 16.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Council members of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to Charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost. They 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 (FRS102) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.

c) Fund structure

-
Grants obtained for specific purposes are recognised in the financial statements as restricted funds.
-
ii) Unrestricted funds
General fund
The general fund is credited with subscriptions received from members and income from conferences and meetings. It is charged with the charitable expenditure and governance costs of the Society.
Designated funds
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds set aside at the discretion of the Council members for particular purposes. The purpose of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
d) Subsidiary undertaking
The investment is included in the financial statements at cost. The financial statements for the Society include only the individual parent charity and are not consolidated to include the trading subsidiary.

e) Amortisation

Donations are received by way of grants and donations and are included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods, or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the Society has unconditional entitlement. Specified donations and grants are included within restricted funds when receivable.
Investment income such as interest and gift aid are included when receivable.

j) Cash at bank
Cash at bank includes a current account and an instant access COIF Charities Deposit Fund account.
k) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are required where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
