TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and “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)” (second edition - October 2019) (effective 1 January 2019).

Another successful SICS Annual Scientific Meeting is being planned for the end of April/beginning of May 2025. This has been pushed back from the traditional time in January to avoid competing conferences, as well as ensuring the sustainability of the conference to the Society. We increased the number of educational and scientific grants supported by the Society. Now offering two educational grants of up to £3000 each, two £500 bursaries to nursing and allied health professionals, and two travel grants up to the value of £2000 each. We have completed the redesign of the website to give us a greater presence. This will hopefully attract additional members. A monthly educational session is run online allowing the intensive care community to engage in regular educational sessions. These sessions are recorded, and available to all. We continue to provide an insurance policy to cover members when they are travelling with a critically ill patient. We have been working with an events management company to try to outsource some of the administrative burden from working NHS Consultants who have been supporting the society for a long time. We recognise that time is precious and we cannot continue to expect members of Council to give up large amounts of time. We continue to look at solutions to best support the financial and workforce viability of the Society.

SCOTTISH INTENSIVE CARE SOCIETY SCIO TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Financial review

The society has had a successful year, returning to usual activities. The main streams of income continue to be subscriptions and profit from educational meetings. The accounts are held in 3 separate accounts 1) Main current account 2) Reserve account and 3) Education. The previously described restricted monies totalling ENIL, donated for the specific purpose of rehabilitation within ICU in Scotland were spent at the annual meeting to fund the sessions of rehabilitation. The trustees believe that this money was spent in the spirit in which it was donated to the Charity.

Rese __ s policy The S Council decided that for the purposes of stability and future viability of the society, a minimum of twice the outla osts for the main financial activity of the society, namely the Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), should be retai . The average outlay cost of the ASM is now approximately £40,000, prior to any income in the form of deleg fees and industry sponsored trade stands. The total amount held in the Reserve account at 31 March 2025 is£1 388.

Prin | funding sources Full and associate members are required to pay an annual subscription. Delegates at organised meetings are required to pay attendance fees and any other associated costs such as accommodation. Sponsorship of industry trade stands at SICS organised meetings. Subs _ tions are collected by direct debit mandate (DDM) through the services of a third party, GoCardless.

Inve ent policy and objectives Fund re mainly kept within current accounts to ensure ready access to sufficient funds for the purpose of orga ng the principal activities of the SICS. Asig ant sum of £178,388 is currently retained within a reserve account paying a bonus related rate of interest if left | touched for 1 year. This reserve account is intended to hold reserves commensurate with expenditure on theA. Risk management The main risk to the society comes through the running of the annual scientific meeting which contributes greatly to the main aim of the SICS as outlined in the constitution, namely, to promote knowledge and education in Intensive Care Medicine. The financial running of the SICS concentrates on maintenance of reserves with the goal of ensuring twice the costs of providing this meeting can be covered.

Plans for future periods The society will continue to innovate and educate members and achieve its stated objectives. The Society will continue to support it’s educational activities including educational meetings, travel and educational grants, e-learning, educational materials on the SICS website as well as research in Scotland. The educational material available on the SICS website for health care professionals as well as for patients and relatives are being continuously updated.

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 foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details are given in the accounting policy 1.2.

The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
