REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


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 2023. 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
To improve the mental health and reduce the physical suffering of those suffering from trauma and crisis. Our website contains a library of downloadable resources to help those impacted by the symptoms of trauma, in addition we offer a six week Help and Support programme via zoom. To advance the study and practice of trauma care whilst educating and training medical professionals and mental health professionals in the treatment of those suffering from crisis or trauma. Examining unaccredited therapeutic approaches and assisting with funding research into those unaccredited therapies that have an unacknowledged yet successful record. Thus allowing those therapeutic approaches to achieve accreditation and recognition, and therefore be able to help those suffering.

Significant activities
Training volunteer mentors to help deliver more Help and Support programmes. Our six-week online programme is designed to help those struggling with trauma to create new ways of thinking that can lead to regaining an improved sense of emotional balance and general well-being. During the year 81 successful programmes were completed. As part of our integral commitment to mental well-being we also piloted our Calm Corner concept at public events, and it proved overwhelmingly successful. Calm Corner is for anyone attending public events who may benefit from a moment of respite or supportive conversation offering a confidential and secure environment where thoughts are respected, and privacy is prioritised. We intend to take Calm Corner to more public events moving forward. We organised our first 'Charity Ball' to raise funds for future charitable activities. As the ball proved an outstanding success it will now be an annual event.

Public benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefits and fee charging.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to try to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the charity, at a level whereby it is in a position to make reasonable grants should they be requested.
During the year under review the charity concentrated on raising funds.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 20 February 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
TRAUMA RESEARCH UK

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Trauma Research UK ('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
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.The deficit incurred in the first two periods was due to the set up costs, the trustees are optimistic that future donations will more than cover these costs and they will support the charity for the foreseeable future.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
