Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our mission
The strategic aim of Kidneys for Life fundraising for MINT (Manchester Institute for Nephrology & Transplantation) is the relief of renal related illnesses and the funding of research and education in renal disease, transplantation and allied fields together with the provision of direct patient amenities.
Objectives
Kidneys for Life's objectives and main activities are to undertake charitable fundraising and the provision of those funds for the research and education in renal disease and allied fields and the provision of direct patient amenities.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Significant activities
The main activities currently carried out for the public benefit by the charity can be broadly categorised into the following:-
-
Research into renal related disease and associated diseases including transplantation
-
Direct patient amenities for those renal patients at Manchester Royal Infirmary, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and Salford Royal Infirmary and their outlying satellite dialysis units
The beneficiaries of our main activities are ultimately sufferers of renal related diseases and those at risk of developing this disease in the future together with their families/carers. There are increasing numbers of people in the UK with some form of kidney disease and this is on the rise due to increased life expectancy and less healthier lifestyles. Developments in the care and treatment of those suffering from kidney disease has also the potential to relieve the huge burden of care often faced by the families and/or carers of sufferers. Our research and educational programmes funds researchers and renal staff who use these funds in their work to improve the lives of sufferers from kidney disease and related conditions, and their carers by developing therapies, potential medications and improvements in the personal care of sufferers. Any benefit received by researchers is purely incidental to the objects of our work.
MINT is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities and follows best practice in maintaining the independence of research funding and ensuring that sponsored researchers abide by best practice in research ethics and animal testing; our aim is to maximise the efficiency of the research programme whilst minimising the likelihood of harm to research volunteers and animals.
How we work
The charity delivers its main aims in a number of ways including:-
-
Small Research Grants Scheme relating to renal diseases and transplantation
-
Post doctorate grants into renal disease and transplantation
-
Travel bursaries for renal staff to attend specialised training courses to further enhance their knowledge of renal diseases and transplantation
-
Educational grants to renal staff
-
Support for specialist conferences both in the UK and overseas including the Fabry Nephropathy Conference which took place in Hamburg in 2024 and is due to take place again in 2026. The venue for the 2026 Update is still to be confirmed.
Academic ability and research potential are the primary determinants of our bursaries and grants and other factors

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results
The total incoming resources for the year amount to £213,306 (2023 the figure was £308,130). The charity expenditure for the financial year was £251,946 (2023 figure was £292,025).
The current market value of the KFL investment portfolio at the year-end was £289,093.
We were beneficiaries of a generous legacy donation from a longstanding and loyal supporter of Kidneys for Life. We also received significant income from funeral donations.
Whilst our expenditure on travel grants increased from the year-end 2023 (£2,574) we note that it is still lower than pre-Covid. With conferences now taking place and less access to funding from within the NHS, we expect numerous travel grant requests for the coming year. This is also the case for Nurse Education grants where again our expenditure has increased from year-end 2023 (£2,054).
We are pleased with the feedback from those who have attended conferences and training courses of the impact and benefit their learning will have for renal patients.
Whilst income was steady and from varied income streams, we did see a significant decrease in overall income in comparison with the previous year. There was no headline fundraising event for this financial year and the focus was placed on supporting individuals to fundraise for the charity. For future years, we intend to host a KFL event whilst also encouraging and supporting fundraisers to generate income and awareness of the charity. We believe this approach will be in the best interest of Kidneys for Life and will ensure we generate enough income to sustain, and with time, increase the range of our charitable activities.
Investment policy and financial position
The charity has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. Our investments are managed by Redmayne Bailey and we receive quarterly reports on the value of the Kidneys for Life portfolio. The spread of investments was agreed and a certain approach to risk continued. The charity believes it can generate income which together with investment income will allow the charity to continue for the foreseeable future with its level of charitable payments.
Reserves policy
The events of recent years have had an effect upon the reserves of the Charity and the Trustees are aware that it will be imperative that we maintain income to ensure that we are able to have in reserves funding for one year for our Travel Bursaries, Nurse Education Grants, Publication Grants & Small Research Grants Scheme, £200k approximately. We endeavour to spend in excess of our income, save for restricted funds as detailed in Note 14, leaving sufficient reserves to fund ongoing research as mentioned.
FUTURE PLANS
We will continue to carry out our main activities and our focus on future research, which by its nature is a slow process. Our focus will be:
-
to improve diagnosis and treatments for patients with kidney inflammation ( to stop progression to kidney failure) - to improve the treatment for patients on dialysis at home and in hospital dialysis units looking at improving phosphate and sodium clearance and water balance
-
to improve the lifespan of kidney transplants through clinical trials of new drugs and by preventing graft loss from recurrence of the primary kidney disease in the transplant

15. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
There were no related party transactions for the year ended 30 April 2024 and none for the year ended 30 April 2023.
All trustees remove themselves from any decision if they have a related party connection with the company being discussed.
16. FABRY NEPHROPATHY CONFERENCE FUND
A separate bank account was opened to facilitate the income and expenditure for the bi-annual conference. The next conference is scheduled to take place in Hamburg in 2024. The movement on the account is shown below. The end balance equating to the balance on the bank account at the 30th April 2024.

The Fabry bank account owed £3,113 to Kidneys for life at the 30th April 2024.
The Fabry Fund is succeeding in its goal of maintaining reserves to at least the equivalent of a major sponsorship (£75,000).
The SCFUG, with Professor David Warnock & Professor Stephen Waldek at the helm, continue to ensure there are sufficient funds available before expenditure is approved thus ensuring there is never a shortfall of funds. The Fabry Fund is run by a proactive SCFUG who meet via Zoom on a regular basis. They are mindful of the financial position of the fund and as so agree that final decisions relating to travel bursaries are not to be made until sufficient educational grants from sponsors have been secured. This approach gives sufficient time to amend the program to fit within the budget.
