**TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 5 April 2023**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Policies and objectives**
The Charity provides funds for Kidney Research. The Trustees limit the geographical spread of the Charity's activities to the Counties of Cumbria, Durham, Tyne & Wear and Northumberland. Within these areas, the Charity will fund both projects and posts where there is a definable benefit to Kidney Research arising out of the funding.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **Strategies for achieving objectives**
Projects and posts requiring funding must be research orientated. The Charity will part-fund larger projects and projects not wholly orientated towards kidney research where the element of research not related to kidneys is small. The Charity will also underwrite new projects and research posts for a period of time where there is the possibility that longer term funding may be received at a later date from other organisations such as Kidney Research UK. Trustees may make use of consultants to moderate areas requiring research, but fees will not be paid for this advice.
## **Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
The Charity makes use of the considerable knowledge and contacts available through its Trustees and the members of its committees to ensure that it is aware of all relevant projects and posts. As the demand for funding exceeds the supply of funds available to it, the Charity is able to choose those projects and posts that most closely match its objectives.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Review of activities**
The Charity has made or committed grants during the year of £61,150, analysed in note 8 to the financial statements (2022: £9,765).
The net outgoing resources for the year amounted to £36,138 (2022: incoming £89,249). The deficit after net investment losses of £27,411 (2022: gains of £18,293) amounted to £63,549 (2022: surplus £107,542). Legacies receivable in the year amounted to £nil (2022: £19,442).
## **Investment performance**
Investments held by the Charity at 5 April 2023 have been made in accordance with the powers and policy stated below. Trustees are satisfied with the performance of investments, which have overall yielded average income of 3% excluding interest from cash deposit balances.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **Reserves policy**
It is considered prudent to maintain cash reserves at approximately thirty months' expected future expenditure (that being the average length of time to complete a research project) and to ensure that existing free reserves cover future commitments. At the year end, free reserves totalled £606,375 (2021: £669,924).
## **Investments policy**
The Trustees are authorised under the trust deed to invest or apply the Charity's monies without restriction as they see fit.
Whilst the Trust Deed allows Trustees to liquidate investments and apply the proceeds towards the objects of the Charity, the Trustees' current policy is to use the income generated by investments towards research but to maintain the capital. A cautious risk policy is applied.
The day-to-day management of investments has been delegated to Barclays Wealth. The Trustees review the investment holdings at each meeting for performance and compliance with policies.
## **Principal funding**
The Charity's main source of funding is donations and legacies from members of the public. It does not rely on investment income.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Constitution**
Northern Counties Kidney Research Fund is a registered charity, number 700037.
The principal object of the Charity is to finance research projects relating to kidney disorder in the North of England. The Charity was established by a trust deed dated 18 March 1988.
There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report.
## **Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the memorandum of appointment under the Charities Act 2011. New Trustees can be nominated by existing Trustees.

## **NORTHERN COUNTIES KIDNEY RESEARCH FUND**
**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **Structure, governance and management (continued)**
## **Organisational structure and decision-making policies**
Trustees have delegated the decision making process to a committee of unpaid individuals with relevant experience in the fields of medicine, finance and the law. This committee deals with fundraising, marketing and investment decisions. It receives funding recommendations from a scientific sub-committee onto which scientists are co-opted as necessary. Committee meetings are held on a quarterly basis.
Trustees meet at least three times a year to receive and approve all recommendations from the committee and other applications for funds.
## **Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees**
There are no formal procedures for the induction and training of Trustees. Senior Trustees ensure, on an informal basis, that new Trustees are given adequate information to ensure that they have knowledge of the Charity and their role within it.
## **Related party relationships**
The majority of the Trustees and committee members are employed by organisations to which the Charity makes grants, primarily the Freeman Hospital and Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne. Neither Trustees nor committee members take part in any decisions of the Charity where they, or a project with which they have an interest, might benefit.
## **Financial risk management**
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. They consider that the major risks are in the areas of investment management and the control of the recording of donations receivable. Systems have been implemented by the Trustees to mitigate these risks and they consider the controls to be adequate and appropriate. The effectiveness of these controls is reviewed regularly.
## **Plans for future periods**
In the coming year, the Charity will continue to provide charitable support in accordance with its objectives. In particular, the Charity will consider applications for ongoing scientific research and support of research orientated PhD projects.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Northern Counties Kidney Research Fund ('the Charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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 (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **NORTHERN COUNTIES KIDNEY RESEARCH FUND**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **1. General information**
Northern Counties Kidney Research Fund is a grant making charitable trust registered in England, charity registration number 700037. The principal office is Level 4 Podium Block, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE7 7DN.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Northern Counties Kidney Research Fund meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 Going concern**
The Charity has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There are no plans that would significantly alter the resources available. In the opinion of the Trustees the going concern basis of accounting continues to be appropriate in preparing these financial statements.

## **NORTHERN COUNTIES KIDNEY RESEARCH FUND**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
## **2.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit 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.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **2.5 Interest receivable**
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 institution with whom the funds are deposited.

## **NORTHERN COUNTIES KIDNEY RESEARCH FUND**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 5 April 2023**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.6 Investments**
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
## **2.7 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
