KIDNEY WALES CHARITY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Message from our Chair Having reached a position of financial stability in 2023, following the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2024 the charity has been able to designate reserves to invest not only to meet the increasing demands on our financial assistance grant for patients in need today, bul also for research and projects for tomorrow. Our fundraising strategy is embedded and gives confidence to think ahead to plan new projects and servitss for patients. For example, a renewed collaboration with the Children's Kidney Centre has led to the creation of a bespoke book. the 'My New Kidney Book. to help children prepare for a transplant. In order to reach a wider audience and achieve value for money, we continue to actively look for opportunities to deepen our collaboralion with UK wide kidney charities and those for related long term health conditions., and in increasing numbers, our volunteer ambassadors are educating and raising awareness of members of the public regarding the impact of kidney disease on patients and families. From a governance perspective. in 2024 Kidney Wales bid farewell to Wictoria Wood, a long-standing member of our board who contributed significant HR expertise. and we welcomed five new trustees, with their own perspective of lived experience with loved ones, as well as a strong set of professional skills. Our considerable thanks are extended to the committed patients, families, carers. professionals, researchers, collaborators and fundraisers who are at the heart of everything we do. And on behalf of the trustees, we are enomiously thankful for the group of staff who invest their time, energy and creativity in order to realise our shared ambition to make a lasting impact in the Welsh kidney community.

Thanks lo our supporters we were able to continue investing into much needed research for the Kidney Community. In 202212023 we made a strategic change to our research funding approach. and for the firsl time we agreed a formal partnership with Kidney research UK, committing £65,000, to support PHD studentships in Wales. During 202312024 the partnership with Kidney Research UK has flourished, and both PHD studentships are progressing well, showcasing how in partnership we can increase the research taking place within Wales itself. Dr Soma Meran Investigating novel mechanisms that drive ¢ardiovas¢ular disease in kidney patients; the relationship between systemic inflammation, altsrations in Hyaluronan matrix and vascular calcification in arteries. Soma has appointed an excellent first class honours graduale, from Swansea University following advertisement and interview. The student Dylan J Roche-Dugmore started his PhD studenlship on 1 October 2023. Operationally. Professor lan Humphreys Investigating nutritional amino acid regulatlon of antiviral immunity in kidney transplant patients. lan has appointed a graduate with an Integrated Masters degree from York University. The student Rowan Casey has also started his PhD studentship on 1 October 2023. With the success that has been achieved early on in our new partnership with Kidney Research UK, we made the decision to continue into 202312024 and agreed to joint fund an additional piece of work which will be led by Professor Smeeta Sinha and Dr Sharion Huish entitled, Calciphylaxis: a qualitative study of patient experiences. Calciphylaxis: a qualitative study of patient experiences Calciphylaxis is a rare yet serious condition most commonly seen in people having dialysis (estimated to effect less than 1 0/0 of dialysis patients per year). Sadly. around 5 in 10 people diagnosed will die within 12 months. Calciphylaxis happens when small blood vessels in and around the skin become blocked by a build-up of phosphale and calcium. This causes painfvl skin ulcers which can lead to serious infections. There is no specific treatmenl yet that is shown to work. Frequent dialysis (as much as daily) is a common Irealment. This is a burden for patients who are likely to be in pain, unwell, and may be struggling emotionally. Research into this condition is important. Previous studies have focused on identifying causes and treatment options. This study aims to explore experiences of patients (something overlooked in existing studies). People from across the UK with a current or previous diagnosis of calciphylaxis will be invited to take part in a research interview. Due to the rarity of the condition (expected small patient numbers) the experiences of families and carers may also be drawn on. Interviews will take place in person, on the phone or via video call. The conversation will be recorded, typed up and evaluated to identify common occurrences and suggestions. We hope to interview 10-20 people. The hope is to leam about 1) people's experience of diagnosis 2) the care and support they received 3) what would have helped. Results will be shared with both patients and healthcare professionals. ee Research Tltles in collaboration with Kidney Research UK Calciphylaxis: a qualitative study of patient experience5 Investigating novel mechanisms that drive cardiovascular disease in kidney patients: the relationship between systemic inflammation. alterations in Hyaluronan matrix and vascular calcification in arteries.

KIDNEY WALES CHARITY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Flnancial position Income generated over the financial year totalled £364.000, compared to £543,898 the previous year. This is a decrease of £179,898, mainly down to the decrease value of legacies during the year. The Charity continues to receive funds from many different sources. Generally, most of the funds raised are generated from fundraising events (£147,111) and we continue to work hard to have successful grant bids to help fvnd projects. The main sources of income for the Charity include general donations, grants, legacies, fvndraising events, and gift aid. Donations for the year totalled £20,543 which is a decrease from previous years (£43,756). The Charity benefited from £94,763 of legacy gifts which was a decrease from last year (£341,184) However, our fijndraising evenls income has increased on last year, £99,279 compared to £78,640 the previous year. The main increase relates to Ihe Murder Mystery Dinner held in March, alongside an additional £10k raised at the Cardiff 10K event compared to the previous year. This has also led to an increase in Gift Aid from £5,219 the previous year to £11,222 this year. We are also now receiving a good rate of retum on money in our bank, after diversifying our accounts. Interest for the year lotalled £16,049 compared to £1.603 the previous year. Dirrft Expenditure Expenditure for the year is £351,442 increased from last years (£340,888). This increase in costs is due to Ihe charity using its reserves to increase its recourses to enable Kidney Wales to directly help and support the palients of the Kidney Community, with the increase in grant funding, addition of a patient information support manager and the Volunteering & Community Engagement Officer to increase awareness of CKD and Kidney Wales Charity.

KIDNEY WALES CHARITY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Investment policy and objectives Under the Memorandum and Articles ofAssociation. the Charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds, and they believe that holding funds in deposit accounts meets their requirements to generate income without seriously restricting access lo funds in the medium term. In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, and the consequential impact on the fundraising environment for all charities, the trustees include at every Board meeting a review of cash flows for three years, in order to assess whether the charity remains a going concem. Changes continue to be made during the 22123 financial year to minimise expenditure during this difficult financial period and help sustainability of the organisation. Reserves policy The trustees are aware that the Charity must monttor closely changes in the economic environment and make appropriate responses to safeguard its own financial position. The Charity continues to strive to make the best possible use of all incoming resources to ensure that il is able to deliver upon its stated objectives. The reseNes policy of Kidney Wales recognises that we hold reserves to ensure we can manage= Financial impact of risk - Working capital Contractual obligations - research, supplier contracts restricted and designated funds. To ensure that there is no significant disnjption to our Charitable activities, holding appropriate reserves will enable Kidney Wales to respond to any unforeseen reduction in income. or additional expenditure. We have based our projections for the appropriate number of reseNes we require on the basis Ihat the reserves in our target range would provide short-lerm until long-temi solutions can be established. A detailed review of the financial risks we fa￿ is monitored on an ongoing basis, within the quarterly Finance and Govemance Subcommittee meetings. Our assessments on the possible financial impact of those risks have been incorporated into the reserves range we have calculated. The target range for reserves is > 14 months. This will allow for Kidney Wales to more than meet the minimum advised by the Charity Commission without having to notify them of significant incident, such as risk of controlled closure. The Board will be advised as part of the subcommittee RAG guidan￿. The Board of Trustees Considers this target range provides suiTicient flexibility in the context of operational requirements, for Kidney Wales and its beneficiaries.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KIDNEY WALES CHARITY Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Kidney Wales Charity (the 'charitable company,) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 Accounling Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial stalements.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, induding its income and expenditure. for the year then 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. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordan￿ with Inlernational Stsndards on Auditing (UK) {ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordan￿ with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriale to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, 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 evenls or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other Snformation The trustees are responsible for the other infomation. The other infomiation comprises the information induded in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any fomi of assuran￿ conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial ststements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or othetwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whelher this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a matertal misststement of this other information. we are required to report that facl. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consislent with the financial statements,. and the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respecl of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept or retums adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us- or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums; or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit., or the trustees were not entilled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. Page 31

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KIDNEY WALES CHARITY Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees. Responsibilities, the Iruslees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such inlernal control as the trustees dete￿ine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concem. disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going con￿rn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative bul to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 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 a Report of the Independent Audilors 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. Misstatemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregale, 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent lo which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities forfraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and detemiined that the principal risks were related to posting inaccurate journals. We addressed these risks by carrying out specifically targeted procedures, which included-. Enquiries of management. those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims., Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and evaluating Ihe business ralionale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business., Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., Evaluating the reasons for any large or unusual transactions- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess Complian￿ with applicable laws and regulations.to underlying supporting documentation. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities. including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-complianTr. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud invofves intentional concealment. forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentations. A further description of our responsibilities for the audil of the financial statements is localed on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description fomis part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Page 32
