## **THE CHARITY**
The therapy centre is a regional charity offering physical, emotional and social therapies for people with MS and other conditions. There are currently over 300 regular members using the charity who live within an area covering Yeovil in the West, Andover in the East, Bath to the North and Bournemouth in the South. The members are mostly those living with MS, but those with other conditions do join for therapies where we have spare capacity, particularly oxygen therapy.
Offering long term physiotherapy for members with MS and oxygen therapy for all members, the centre is a busy hive of activity. The charity also offers holistic therapies to families and carers, including massage therapy and reflexology. There is a Pilates and Tai Chi class, and counselling is also available to all members. Other therapies on offer include reiki, touch therapy, myofascial cupping, and energy therapy.
New to 2023 we introduced one to one voice therapy and a weekly singing circle that brings much joy to members every week. A Tai Chi class was introduced thanks to the success of the Wellness Week and acupuncture is now also used two days a week in the therapy centre.
The charity provides a companion in the home with the MS Buddy Scheme for those living in social isolation and there is a warm and friendly purpose-built centre for social connection, relaxation, and tea and cake.

## **OUR OBJECTIVES**
Ultimately, we want to create a better quality of life for all members, their carers and families by offering physical, emotional and social therapies on an ongoing basis. We understand how important it is to support the carer as well as those suffering with health needs, and the therapy centre strives to include everyone who benefits from any of our therapies.
We want to provide a safe and happy space for those whose mobility and lifestyle has been compromised through ongoing illness, and for them to find physical and emotional well-being in a supportive and friendly environment.

CHAIR’S REPORT
**----- End of picture text -----**
The year started with Mike Davidson at the helm and the Centre owes Mike a huge debt of gratitude for stepping in as Acting Chair when Richard our previous Chairman sadly passed away. The legacy that of both these amazing Chairmen left has made my transition to Chair very easy.
The Centre continues to pick up post COVID with an almost return to pre COVID levels and remains a busy, welcoming and bustling place once again. Led wonderfully by Rosie and the team, the charity continues to provide the much-needed service to the community it serves. There is a group of people without whom the centre would not be such a successful charity and that is the volunteers, those mainly unsung people who freely offer up their time to help keep the charity running smoothy on a day-to-day basis and indeed keep it the place it is today. We are extremely fortunate in having such wonderful, kind, generous volunteers, that we simply could not do without. They are our receptionists, charity shop staff, Trustees, oxygen therapy operators, gardeners, fundraising committee, MS Buddies, lunch club helpers, physiotherapy volunteers and administrators. The demand for our therapies, especially oxygen therapy, has reached pre-covid levels and electricity use in the Centre is paid for by the solar panels on the roof. We received some fantastic legacies this year, and we are very grateful for the hard work of so many fundraisers who have supported our charity throughout the year. We have had marathon runners, swimmers, skydivers, golf days, pig races, tombola’s and lots of ingenious and good fun ways to support the work we do. The Trustees would like to offer sincere thanks to the hard working team of staff, therapists and volunteers who helped to make 2023 as successful as we could have wished for. Our charity strives to bring a better quality of life to the members, their families, and carers and as Chair I am happy to state that we will continue into a bright future on a sound and sustainable financial footing.

## ~~OO~~ **THERAPIES**
- 3 -- 3 i 4] BH O35 — y
The charity hosted a Wellness Week in 2023 and we have subsequently introduced some new therapies to include Tai Chi and Voice Therapy.
## **Physiotherapy**
Physiotherapy has a vital role to play in helping people to cope with the daily challenge of living with MS. We use an approach that enables members to:
- Learn to control and co-ordinate movement patterns
- Reduce spasticity and encourage more normal movements
- Regain functional abilities
## **Oxygen Therapy**
Oxygen is essential to every tissue in the body and any tissue injury requires oxygen for healing. Breathing oxygen under pressure causes the dilated and leaky blood vessels in MS to constrict back to normal size and reduce the swelling. At the same time, more oxygen is delivered into the bloodstream, increasing the amount available to help undertake repair.
## **Massage Therapy**
Massage therapy for people with MS is an excellent way for individuals to relieve some of the tension that lives in their unused muscles on a daily basis.
## **Pilates**
Building strength and control of the muscles helps support the joints and improves balance, posture and body awareness.
## **Voice Therapy**
One to one intensive work with members to strengthen vocal chords, through breathing techniques to control swallowing and helps with breathing and posture.
## **Singing Circle**
A weekly class offering an uplifting and invigorating singing circle to strengthen voice, tone and pitch. This also helps with breathing and posture. A brilliant new addition to the therapy centre.
## **Counselling**
Counselling can help with:
- Anxiety or depression
- Low self-esteem
- Emotional problems
## **Reflexology**
Reflexology aims to correct the three negative factors of congestion, inflammation and tension.
- Relationship difficulties
- Family or marital crises
## **Acupuncture**
## **Tai Chi**
A form of exercise that improves strength, flexibility, aerobic conditioning and balance.
Acupuncture is a holistic way of treating the body and has many benefits, including symptom management and pain reduction.

We are thrilled to present the annual fundraising review for 2023, highlighting the incredible efforts and impact of our community in supporting our organisation's mission. Throughout the year, our diverse range of fundraising events has brought us closer together while raising vital funds to support our cause.
Erlestoke Golf course chose us to be their charity of the year, and supported us by organising several fundraising events, including a pig race (with stuffed toys!). We enjoyed another lovely afternoon at the Hellebores Open Garden Day in Southstoke; this enchanting event welcomed visitors to explore the beauty of the Hellebores garden and enjoy a homemade cake or two! The Easter Chocolate hamper raffle at the MS Centre raised funds through the sale of tickets for delightful winners! Our 100 Club saw renewed memberships, demonstrating ongoing support from our dedicated members, who enjoy a flutter or two, and creating lots of winners. A daughter of one of our members participated in the London Marathon and showcased remarkable dedication, raising funds through this iconic event.
Two of our members with MS decided to embark on an exhilarating abseil down Spinnacre Tower in Portsmouth, raising funds and inspiring others with their bravery. A day of golfing at Cumberwell Golf Course brought supporters together for a fun-filled fundraising event, the weather was fabulous and enjoyed by all that took part. Our local Bupa Dentist team organised a lively Zumbathon, raising funds with enthusiasm and energy. Bupa match-funded their total raised, making this a really successful event. Supporters enjoyed a delicious curry night at the Agra restaurant in Warminster, contributing to our cause
significant funds, proving to be our most successful year yet with our skydivers fundraising. We celebrated the Queen's coronation by holding a charming Coronation tea party and an entertaining cinema night was enjoyed by all at Warminster school. Robert Young's swimming challenge demonstrated incredible determination, raising funds and inspiring others by swimming the equivelent mileage from Trowbridge to London! Festive celebrations during Christmas included craft tables, tombolas, and a fabulous hamper raffle, spreading holiday cheer.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters, volunteers, and partners who made these events possible. Your generosity and commitment are the driving force behind our fundraising mission, and we are profoundly grateful for your ongoing support. The success of our fundraising events in 2023 is a testament to the unwavering support and dedication of our community. Together, we have made a significant difference, and we look forward to continuing this journey together in the year ahead.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees (who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law, United Kingdom Accounting Standards and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees 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 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 Trustees are required and have fulfilled the requirement to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP.
- Make judgments 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 assume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **FINANCIAL POLICY**
The Trustees are pleased to present the financial statements for the charity for the year ending 31 December 2023. The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, with systems established to mitigate those risks. All procedures are reviewed periodically to ensure that they still meet the needs of the organisation. Policies and procedure for the safe running of the organisation are currently in place.
## **Reserves Policy**
A policy is set which reflects the trustees’ wish to safely commit as much as possible to the primary objectives of the Charity whilst retaining financial stability and the potential to respond to new opportunities. In accordance with this policy, the Charity has the following designated reserves to secure its future and guard against major risks:
- Fixed Assets Fund (£82,783) - a significant proportion of the Charity’s resources are tied up in capital investment. Such resources are maintained in a designated fund in order to identify they are not available to expend on running costs.
- Oxygen Chamber Replacement Fund (£220,000) - the Trustees are keenly aware that the provision of oxygen therapy is of key importance to members. This fund has been set up to ensure resources will be available to fund the replacement of the current facility when required.
- Revenue Expenditure Contingency Fund (£86,000) - this fund has been created to protect the charity against the impact of any catastrophic event which removes its ability to operate in the short term. The fund is based on approximately six months committed costs.
- Wheelchair adaptable vehicle project (£103,000)

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS THERAPY CENTRE (WESSEX) LIMITED**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Wessex) Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023.
## **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**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can 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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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.

## **14. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES**
During the year, two of the Trustees received therapies on an arms length basis. There were no other related party transactions for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **15. DESIGNATED FUNDS**
The purposes of the designated funds are as follows:
* Fixed Assets Fund - a significant proportion of the Charity's resources are tied up in capital investment. Such resources are maintained in a designated fund in order to identify they are not available to expend on running costs.
* Oxygen Tank Replacement Fund - the Trustees are keenly aware that the provision of oxygen therapy is of key importance to members. This fund has been set up to ensure resources will be available to fund the replacement of the current facility when required.
* Revenue Expenditure Contingency Fund - this fund has been created to protect the charity against the impact of any catastrophic event which removes its ability to operate in the short term. The fund is based on approximately six months committed costs.
* Wheelchair Adaptable Vehicle Project - funds have been designated to assist in the purchase and running of a wheelchair adaptable vehicle to aid members in transport.
