We support people living across Northern Ireland. However, since the onset ol Covid-19, admission lo
the charity has been largely dependent on the communily incidence tst the virus and the government's
slricl travelling and health and safety conslrainls.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The charity exists to support people with Multiple Sclerosis and other debilitating conditions and to
ease the impact ol suffering on their, and their lovèd ones. lives.
MS and other chronic illnesses are unpredictable, incurable and widely variable. Chronic diseases
cause a variety ol unpleasant and incapacitating symptoms, allecling movement, mood and bodily
lunclions. Their devaslaling and complex nature means that specialist support is essential lo help
people cope,. manage their symptoms., stay as healthy, active and independent as possible; and
experien￿ better quatity of life.
Wilhoul our Therapy Cenlre the availability ol holistic treatment and support services would be gravely
limited in the local and wider area, and in most cases would be non-exislenl. The core activities of
RAMS can be split into three broad elements:
Holistic treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy: physioiherapy & massage therapy-
eleclromagnelic slimulalion therapy,. vibration therapy- and Ilowlron therapy
Counselling; inlormalion., one-lo-one & group support., advice,. and nulrilional guidance
A supportive facility & network lor individuals and families allecled by MS and other chronic illnesses
Our work complements that provided by the NHS and other voluntary organisalions. With the addition
of our services. hospital visits and admissions can be avoided and hospital discharges accelerated
and supporled. Where the locus of other charities is largely financial support, befriending, respite
relief, political lobbying or research, ours is fixed exclusive5y on health and well-being as these
underlie every aspect ol a person's life.

These treatments are largely unavailable, inaccessible or unallordable els8wher& in the province.

everyone and some support services can have lengthy wailing lists and a linile number of
appointments. Treatrnents lor advanced. progressive and degenerative conditions are often rnore
limited and many drug therapies are associated with intolerable side effecis.

A¢hievements and performance
The treatment and SUPPDrt services provided by the charity were severely disrupted in 2020 by the
Covid-19 pandemic. In linè with our duly ol care lo vulnerable staff we shielded and furloughed 3
employÈÈs and constrained our usual volunteer involvement. Prior to Covid-19 we supported people
living across Northern Ireland, however, since the pandemic look hold, admission lo the charity was
largely dependent on the incidence of the virus and the governmènt's strict Iravelling and health and
safety constraints.
Before the onset of Covid-19, the charity's principal activities comprised three broad elements=
Holistic Therapies
Counselling. Information & Advice
Support Nelwork
Aside from telephone consultations, all service and support activities were provided in person, face lo
lace. In accordance with the lockdown measures imposed by the government nationally, the charity
look the necessary decision lo suspend in-person services and SUPFXIrt with effect from 23 March
2020. Our priority then, was lo seek ways lo continue providing the support and services upon which
our membership depended. The locus turned lo adapting our support from predominately lace to lace
acliviliès lo allernalive, safer, options. In a short period ol lime the charity's team developed
allernalive support options using a mix ol online conferencing lools such as MS Teams and Zoom..
improved inlormalion sharing via online media. and increased personal contact via telephone and
post. In late July certain lace lo lace services were re-commenced 81 the Cenlre, however strict
shielding and distancing guidelines meant that services provided at the centre were strictly limited.
When the second wave ol the pandemic look hold in Decembèr. in-person support al the eenlre was
again suspended. Cortsnavirus and the charity's response lo national restrictions and clinical
guidelines, were major laclors impacting on the charity's achievements and performance in 2020.
From the Spring 012020, as the pandernic look hold, the charity's broad priorities were=
Keeping people sale and as active and independent as possible
Improving mental health
Reducing isolation & loneliness
As the impaet of covid on health and well-being became apparent, we were inundated with referrals.
particularly lor our oxygen therapy, given ils role in the Irealmenl and recovery of many illnesses
including coronavirus. In order lo provide Continued care and 5UPPOrt lor our users, me&1 the growing
demand and adapt to exceptional circumstances, we employed a Specialist Support Worker in July lo
develop and deliver sale services and recruited and trained 10 new volunteers lo assisi with face lo
lace and online lacililies.
During the year, the charity provided 1225 treatments and welcomed 104 new patients. We answered
more than 1600 enquiries, made 416 supportive calls and carried out 227 support sèssions. We are
continually improving our use of digital technology and many ol our users and volunteers have
improved their online and IT skills loo.

Financial review
Income & Expenditure
Our accounts tell the story of 2020- all the high and lows ol a year like no other.
RAMS is a small. independent and completely sell-lunding charity. 11 doe5 not receive any staiutory
funding or financial help Irorn government sources and relies entirely on ils own fundraising activities
and on donations from both Members and exlemal sources for ils income.
In March as reslriclions were imposed nallonwide and most ol the charity's normal lace to lace
activities were suspended, the continuity of income was a major concern. Public collections and
fundraising events were cancelled and the impact on the widor economy threatened income from
trusts and companies. Our income lor the year was £139,110, comprising £36,852 from grant giving
organisalions.. £13,889.01 from member and supwrter donations., £8557.91 from collections,.
£6,125.95 from Gill Aid,. £41,939 Irorn the Covid Recovery Fund., and £28881.97 from the Coronavirus
Job Retention Scheme. This money was spent direclly on the £89,000 required lo run the Centre and
deliver ils charitable activities throughout the year and any excess income will continue to fund the
charity's therapeutic services and covid related costs in 2021. Donations from individuals and
ompanies were a slaggering 91 y. less than in 2019. Funds generated from fundraising events were
down 100 /. from the previous year and collections down 47 /.. We saw a 46Vo reduction in member
and supporter donations with a consequential fall in Gift Aid support, compared to previous years.
However, in a most extraordinary year we received an unexpecled £36,852 01 Grant Aid in addition to
the £41,939 awarded lor ernergency covid funding and received a further £28,881.97 in furlough
conlribulions. We concluded tho year with an income exceeding our expenditure of almost £89.000.
Whilst this position appears healthy moving forward into 2021, there are substantial covid Costs
ahead.
We wish to thank each individual and organisalion who supported the charity in 2020. We particularly
express our thanks to..

Reserves Pollcy
The charity is authorised within its constitution lo set aside funds lor special purposes or as reserves
against lulure expenditure. Ideally the Trustees aim to maintain a prudent level ol free reserves al
between 6 and 12 months ol operating expenditure to provide an immediately available resource
should the Centre experience a significant adverse event, such as the coronavirus pandemic that we
are currently facing. We estimate that due lo covid-19. our free reserves are currently sitting al around
4-5 months ol running costs.
Investment Policy
The charity is permitted under its conslilulion to deposit and invest funds lor the purposes ol furthering
ils aims and objectives. The charity's year on year annual incoming resources have however been
used lo meet annual running costs.
FUNDRAISING
RAMS receives no stalulory revenue funding and relies entirely on its own fundraising activities and
on donations from both members and external sources lor ils incorne. Community fundraising is a vital
source ol unrestricted funding that enables us lo operate effectively and raise public awareness ol our
work. Reslriclions on social activities and lockdown during the summer and Christmas rnonlhs brought
community fundraising to a juddering hall al our peak fundraising periods when a nurnber of events
were planned lo lake place.
Sell-isolalion and lockdown prevented volunteers engaging in street colleclions and we Iosi a major
source ol our income generation. As we continue into 2021 there is continued concern over altracling
ongoing funding. Disruption to fundraising events and public collections look lo continue for some lime
and the availability ol emergency granis is uncertain. Overall a depresse(J economy may limit funding
available from trusts and companies who will hav& smaller funding pols available in the medium term
and broader public lundraising may now focus on the NHS.
PARTNERSHIP WORKING & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Given that we have had lo substantially contract, pause or cease operation8 altogether during COVID-
19, conditions have not been ideal this year lor loslering partnership working and community
engagement. Throughout the years we have established gtsod relationships with local schools,
businesses and other voluntary organisalions, howevèr many ol these were closed indelinilely this
year. Our lace lo face visits and comrnunily engagements were all cancÈlled so lew opportunities
arose lo make the public aware ol our work. As research continues into the affects ol covKI on health
and well-being and the role of oxygen therapy in Irealing the virus and ils cotmplicalions, we have
receivèd greater interest and recognition of our work in the community and our potential lor supporting
the NHS in limes ol erisis.
FUTURE PLANS
The pandemic has created a range of new needs. Evidence shows that some people who previously
never needed charities are now relying on their services lor the first time because of the pandemic.
The road ahead is not going lo be easy. The pandemic has exacted an immense economic, as well as
hurnan, cost on societies and il is inevitable that public finances will remain fragile lor many years. As
we move into the recovery phase ol Ihe pandemic we plan lo.'_
Offer activities via new mediums, such as digitally.
Move services online
Develop new partnerships
Develop our sports injuries clinic

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued
amounts are recorded at the lair value al the dale ol revaluation less any subseqLJenl
accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

amount being estirnated wher& such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed lor
possible reversal at each rewrting dale.

amount ol an individual asset, an estimate is rnade ol the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit ID which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallesl identifiable
group ol assets that includes the asset and generales cash inflows that largely independent of
the cash inflows from othèr assets or groups ol assets.
For impairment lesling of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each ol the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies ol the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities ol the charity
are assigned lo those units.

reliably, the inveslment is subseqLJèniiy measured al lair value with changes in lair value
recognised in income and expenditu￿. All other such investments are Subsequently measured al
cost less impairment.
Other financial inslrumenls, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair valuè, unless
paymenl lor an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rale of interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value ol the lulure
payments discounted al a market rate ol interest for a similar debl inslrumenl.
Other financial instruments are subsequenlty measured al lalr value. with any changes
recognised in the slalemenl ol linanciJ aclivilies, with the exception ol hedging instruments in a
designated heckJing relationship.
