for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Report of the Trustees
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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
Objectives and aims
The main aims of the MS Therapy Centre, as summarised from the Articles of Association are:
- to provide aid and improve the condition of those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by: i. bringing together those suffering from MS and those interested in MS
ii. providing advice, guidance and support
iii. Providing therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, for persons suffering from MS or other symptoms or conditions.
The charity has the general aim of improving the quality of life of anyone affected by MS or another neurological condition, this help extends to their families and carers.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
This year sadly, with the pandemic there has been very little activity at the Centre since March 2020 when we had to lockdown. We were able to open our doors for HDOT for a short period but on a purely volunteer level.
We had to furlough our staff, Fiona and Karen for the full year and sadly we had to make Helen redundant, as there was no option to open up the Kitchen and catering side of the Centre.
I should also like to say a big thank you to all our Volunteers who continued to help and keep the place running during this very tough time.
I would also like to thank my fellow Trustees on the Management Committee for their help, support and guidance during the past year, we don't always agree but listen to each other before making decisions that sometimes not every-one agrees with but this is part of the democratic principles we abide by. We would like more Committee members so please think seriously about joining the Committee and let any one of the Committee know if you are interested.
Fundraising activities
Once again, this year has been hampered significantly by the pandemic but we are optimistic that once we are up and running at full capacity we can bring in more activities to raise and replenish our much needed funds.
FUTURE PLANS
We are in desperate need of more Trustees, as we have had the resignation of both our Chair, Pauline Holmes and her daughter Joanne. We are currently just Quorate but we do need additional help. We also said goodbye to our Centre Manager Fiona, since we reopened and we have now successfully recruited Carrie and Belinda to assist Karen in the day-to-day running of the Centre.
We came very close to making the tough decision during the pandemic of whether the Centre should remain open and whether we could sustain the costs without help. We decided to give the Members the chance to regroup once we could reopen, and as I write this, we are noticing more and more people using the Centre. We have included more activities for Members, however this is your Centre and as Trustees and staff we can only continue to grow with your help.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Huntingdon, Peterborough and Cambridge Ms Therapy Centre Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts 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
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 accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts 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.
