OUR MISSION ANDWHOWE SUPPORT
Our charity inspires hope for anyone affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We're here for
people livingwith Crohn's or Colitis- and everyone around them. One daywe hope these
conditions won't stop anyone from livingthe life they want. Until then. v￿'re here to give hands-
on. practical support to anyone in Scotland who needs it.
Inspiring us every day is our founder
, Catherine McEwan. Catherine was taken
from us at just 37. after spending 21 years living with the debilitating effects of Crohn's disease.
Her grace. strength, determination and humour shape everythingwe have done. since our
formation in 2003.
We support people wherever they are on thetr Inflammatory Bowel Disease journey. We do this
by listening. creating connections. building community. and inspiring hope. when it isn't easy to
find.
CATHERINE'S STORY
Catherine was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at
just 16 years old.
While her friends were finding their way in the new
and exciting adult world, Catherine was making
sense of 8 Wortd that looked quite different.
Coping with intrusive. debilitating symptoms,
going backwards and forwards to see the doctor,
and in and out of hospital. her life was in stark
contrast yet to her, itwas normal.
Catherine's Crohn's was severe. Her flare-ups
were relentless and so serious that she was
regu18rly hospitalised. often for long spells. Eating
was almost impossible. She ate little, and what she did eat, she passed very quickly. As a
resuLt. she became physicallyweak easily, and her weightwas a constant issue. Prescribed
drinks designed to build her up did not make much of a difference, and often when she fell to
just six stone, tube-feeding was the only option to build her strength.
Catherine endured multiple m8jor operations in a bid to get some relietfrom the almost-
constant symptoms. Nothing v40rked.
As the years went on. still nothing improved. 8nd the pattern continued. In fact. things gotworse
for Catherine.

Already suffering from ever-increasing arthritis because of her Crohn's, she was also diagnosed
as epileptic. Regular. extremelyviolent fits became just another part of her life. Still, Catherine
did not complain. She stayed

doctor. In true Catherine Style, she said:"1 have work to do....
In the early hours of the morning. when the pain became unbearable. an 8mbuLance whisked
her alongthe 811-too-f8miliar route to the hospital. Catherine's bowel had burst, and she had a
serious infection. The infection was out of control.
Catherine's body could not cope. and atjust 37 years of age. she passed aw8y leaving a loving
husband and two adoring sons.

strategic leadership and oversight to ensure strong governance and sustained impact. The
Chief Executive reports directlyto the Board and works closelywith Trustees to deliver the
charity's mission with ambition, integrity, and accountability.
As our work and reach continue to grow. so too does our organisational structure. This year, the
Foundation expanded its operational capacty, now employing 8 full-time Administr8tor/PAto
the Chief Executive. a Director of Services. and a Fundraiser. These roles have strengthened our
service delivery. improved operational resilience. and enhanced our ability to respond to the
needs of the IBD community.

and expanding our volunteer programme. Our goal is to build a stronger, broader support base
that reflects the community we sen4e and strengthens our abilityto deliver18Sting impact.

management process. This ensures the charity remains resilient. responsive. and prepared for
both expected 8nd unexpected challenges. Our assessment covers:

that could affect the org8ni88tion.
Impact and Severity: Analysing how each risk could influence our services.

Do￿sIgn Envelope ID: E69763￿1DEE428EkAB3c￿C7l6A784A73
We also recognise that challenges offer opportunities for learning, reflection, and grov4th. By
examining how we have responded to Past pressures-whether financiaL. operational. or
environmental-we continue to strengthen our systems, build resilience. and refine our
strategic direction for the future.
Principal Risks
The Catherine M¢Ew8n Foundation has identified several key risks that are central to our
sustainability and long-term success:
Reliance on the Chief Executive
As a growing organis8tion. a significant amount of operational and strategic delivery currently
rests with the Chief Executive. To mitigate this, we have strengthened our operationaL team with
a Director of Services and a Fundraiser and continue to deveLop a more resilient structure that
supports sustainable growth.
Revenue Stream Dependency
Our current fundraising model relies heavily on event-based income. leavingthe charity
vulnerable to external pressures and fLuctuations. Diversification is essential.
We are expanding into new revenue streamswncluding corporate partnerships, grants and
trusts, and regular giving-to secure a more stable and sustainable financial foundation.
Trustee Skillset and Capacity
While our Trustees are highly committed and deeply aligned to our mission. broadening the
range of professional expertise on the Board is essential for supporting long-term strategic
growth.
We are actively recruiting newTrustees with high-level skills in finance, fundraising. governance,
and strategic leadership to strengthen our governance and future•proof the charity.
By addressingthese risks with intention and strategy. we are building a stronger. more resilient
organisation equipped to deliver greater impact forthe IBD community.
MOVING FORWARD
As we look to the future, the Catherine McEwan Foundation is focused on ambitious growth,
organisational strength. and serrfice expansion that will transform the support available to the
IBD community:
Team Expanslon
When financiallyviable, we plan to add further dedicated Fundraisers and additional service
roles, further strengthening capacity and diversifying income streams.
Dlversifying Revenue Streams
A key priority is expanding and stabilising ourfunding base. Wewill focus on corporate
partnerships, regular giving, and a strengthened Grants & Trusts programme to reduce reliance
on event-based income.

Enhancing Fundraising Events
We aim to elevate the scale. reach. and impact of our events-making them more innovative,
more engaging, and aligned with long-term sustainability.
Katie's House Development

base and a central hub for IBD support in Govan. Glasgow.

strengthen systems, governance, process, and strategic capacity. This begins with our major

At the heart of everything we do is a simple promise: to support more peopLe Living with IBD and

SERVICE IMPACT
Each of our seNices has grown this year with significant impact and powerful stories.
Scholarship
SMIV
Purpose
Our scholarship gives hope and a platform to support our IBD communitywho have missed
school and need help to achieve academic success and growth. Working at SQA level from 3°
year onwards we support our young people with Nat 5's and Highers in STEM subjects. Allowing
them to follow their dreams of higher education or a career path.
What we delivered
20 Scholars were supported across two academic centres of excellence. Glasgow Academy and
St Georges, Edinburgh. We also fulfilled support online. A key message being that our
community is not restricted by geography to be supported by this opportunity. We delivered
over 800 hours of free tuition.
ExampLes of our impact:
in becoming one of the first Edinburgh-based scholars to take part in the
programme as we expanded into more parts of Scotland and linked up with new NHS Heath
Boards such as Lothian and Forth Valley. The addition of Weekly Lessons and Grade Booster
Days in Edinburgh made it possible for learners in the east of Scotland to access our offer and
Rona has been another success story in our journey. She originally met our team at the IBD
Family Day in Edinburgh in 2023 and decided to apply. In her application she detailed the
impact her condition was having and was well aware of how much we could support her.

TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial review
a. Financial review
During the year the charity reported income of £496.151 (2024: £433.919) and incurred expenditure of £560,914
(2024: £366,850) resulting in total reserves at the year end of £355.755 of which £346.545 was restricted (2024:
restricted funds of £345,142).
b. 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 foreseeatle future. For this reason. they continue to adopt
the going concem basis in p￿paring the financial ststements. There are no known material uncertainties
regarding the chantys abilty to continue as a going con￿M.
c. Reserves policy
It is Ihe pdicy of the charity to maintain three months's total costs. exduding Patient Sernfjces, this equates to
approximately £44,000 (2024: £91.713). At 31 March 2025 the charity had unrestricted free reserves of £9,210
(2024: £75,376) and restricted reserves of £346.545 (2024.. £345,142) and therefore reserves totalling £355,755
(2024: £420,518).
The free unrestricted funds are £9,210, however. the chaiity does have signtficant restricted funds which allows
them to carry out their charitable activities for spectfic purposes. The Trustees are aware that unrestricted
reserves are below the ￿SerVeS pc4icy, however, the charity has been working to increase the unrestricted funds
post year end. This has been successful, therefore, we expect the future funds to improve to the year ended 31st
March 2026.
Please refer to the Chainnan's statement for the future plans of the charity reserves and note 15 explaining the
charity reserves as at 31 March 2025.
