REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST 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 31st 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
Primary objectives
The companies objectives are to preserve and protect good health for the public benefit within areas of neurology or physiotherapy or cognate health-related fields (including neuro-physiotherapy, neurosciences, neuro-technology, neurosurgery, neuro-rehabilitation and adjacent subdisciplines). Through education, training, scholarship, research, knowledge-creation, dissemination and exchange, leadership, continuing development and overall practice excellence and achievement and fostering dialogue on related health and social care policy and professionalism.

We review our aims, objectives and business strategy annually, taking into account available resources.

Our main objectives during 2022 were to:

- Increase our external presence.
- Continue embedding the ACPIN office into the day to day running requirements of ACPIN.
- Clarifying charity purpose with people living with neurological conditions.
- Continue to extend and build upon current provision of CPD training through a diverse range of training courses.
- Continue the implementation of a clear Governance structure in line with Charity Commission guidelines.
- Continuing collaborating with other Associations.
- Systematically explore ways in which we can engage with the public more effectively.

Public benefit
The Board has paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidelines on public benefit. ACPIN remains committed to fostering, for the public benefit, the highest standard of education and resource learning tools for all. This in turn, will enable the delivery of the best possible care for members of the public and their patients, ensuring they are always up-to-date with the latest developments and innovations in this area of physiotherapy. ACPIN recognises the positive effect that high quality, life-long training can have for all.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
ACPIN's Board consists of 7 portfolio holders, including the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer, all of whom have a responsibility to grow and develop their areas for the benefit of the public including ACPIN and its members.

A summary of the collective achievements of the Board up until 31st December 2023, is provided below:

- Membership: Membership continues to increase and currently ACPIN membership stands at 3435 members. The last year has proven difficult in terms of maintaining member numbers, with one of the highest membership cancellations (n=459).
-Data Protection: Full compliance with GDPR regulations, ensuring that no mailing lists are shared with external parties.
-Distribution of weekly newsletter to members includes regular clinical and practice-related consultations that members can participate in and a huge uptake in members of the public getting in touch with ACPIN to link in with neurological physiotherapists in their local area.
- Increasing the availability of the best evidence for treatment: We have commissioned a new website that will have dedicated open-access resources for members of the public. The resources working group has continued to identify existing resources and build a comprehensive compendium of web-based e-learning courses and materials which will be accessible through the website. Patient and public involvement members actively contribute to this group.
- Reviewing the Educational Opportunities: This working group has structured the educational requirements for members, signposting to appropriate courses and identifying appropriate content for members of the public, especially ensuring that the conferences and CPD opportunities incorporate this. Patient and public involvement members actively contribute to this group. We have started a project looking at "What is a neuro physio" and are in phase 1 of the project reviewing what information is available.
- Engaging with members of the public: Proposal development for funding to set up a patient and public partners advisory group to inform the work that ACPIN does- we have re-submitted the application and been successful in securing funding. We have reached out to the Neurological Alliance who are keen to support as well.
- Working with other charitable organisations: Neurological Alliance collaboration continues including actively contributing to their campaigns. We continue to foster our European links with the Danish Society of Neurological Physiotherapists to share knowledge and best practice.
- Harmonising CPD delivery: We have successfully harmonised CPD delivery to ensure that all hubs deliver 4 CPD opportunities per hub per year. This excludes CPD events that the National Exec Board organises. We have successfully delivered a well attended International Conference in Maastricht with our fellow neurological organisations in Europe. We are also planning on a 2024 ACPIN conference, with a strong focus on patient participation.
- Delivering high quality evidence-based information to improve treatment options for patients and the public:
o delivery of a well-supported and successful virtual study day in 2023 and continued virtual professional development courses at breakeven costs
o we have identified that members of the public need more support in making sure that the FES guidelines and requirements are highlighted to commissioners. To this end, we are about to review how to take this forward in the best possible manner
- Publicity: media exposure through charitable organisations such as the Neurological Alliance and professional bodies such as the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists.

The cost-of-living crisis and the political uncertainty is impacting ACPIN's performance and achievements. We have continued to forge ahead with our work plans as much as possible within the current constraints, acknowledging the slowed pace in most of our plans. Despite these delays, we continue to be responsive to queries from people living with neurological conditions and looking at ways to engage with them actively.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Charity relies on funds generated through membership subscriptions as well as surplus funds received from conferences and courses.

The Board continues to actively pursue potential fundraising activities to augment existing reserves.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023


FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The principal funding source for ACPIN remains through its membership.

Our main expenses were wages and advertising, these two elements accounted for 50% of total expenditure for the year.

Reserves policy
Our policy is to maintain reserves at a sufficient level to support management, administration and support costs. Any surplus funds are reinvested in the Charity and earmarked for a variety of projects.

At the end of the financial year, ACPIN's reserves totalled £542,346.

FUTURE PLANS
ACPIN's plans for the coming financial year are:

o Increase educational content for both members of the public and ACPIN members
o Develop the ACPIN educational framework
o Develop our research-related webinars
o Review our Website to ensure that it is fit for purpose

Patient and public involvement
o Plan for and organise focus groups with patients and members of the public to provide a discussion forum for the exchange of ideas that are aimed at benefitting the public and patients. This has been significantly delayed due to COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown has meant that ACPIN were not able to fulfil this objective. However we are still laying the foundations for this so that once the pandemic has eased we are able to actively pursue it.

Fundraising
o Enhance fundraising activities in support of ACPIN's ongoing objects. ACPIN is actively looking at ways that this can be achieved in line with its charitable strategy- we have commissioned a charity advisor to help support this
o Investigate collaborative opportunities which have a wider public health benefit. We have developed collaborations with the Motor Neurone Disease organisation; the Neurological Alliance; and Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Governance
o Development of a Risk Register/Risk rating tool.

Education
o To enhance educational opportunities for the benefit of all through publications and e-learning materials. We continue to significantly increase our open access online learning.
o To plan an ACPIN face to face conference.
o Use the ACPIN conference as a platform to continue with the engagement process with members of the public.
o Seek collaboration and engage with the public to maximise co-design opportunities for the public benefit.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document the Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 18th September 2018.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023


STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Board recognises the importance of improving the governance structure in line with Charity Commission guidelines. Therefore, they have drafted a comprehensive Trustee document including roles and responsibilities as well as a guideline for recruitment of new Trustee Board members. The ACPIN Board had approved this document and part of the future plan is to advertise for and commence Trustee recruitment. COVID-19 has significantly delayed the original recruitment process. Unfortunately, we have not had much success in recruiting Trustees to date. We continue to liaise with charities that have successfully recruited Trustees and are progressing our recruitment plans. Our president-elect will be able to assist with this as he is a Trustee of a different charity and has highlighted that he will help accelerate our plans.

Organisational structure
The ACPIN charity is made up of a Board of Directors which is accountable to the ACPIN Council. The ACPIN Council also includes hub council members. Collectively the Council holds the Board accountable for the delivery of its charitable objects. The ACPIN Board meets on a monthly basis and the ACPIN Council meets twice per year.

In addition, the Chair has ultimate responsibility to ensure that the charity acts in accordance with its charitable objects which are set out in Article 2 of the Articles of Association.

Risk management
The Board regularly reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed. During 2019, the Board reviewed the charity's governance structure and compiled series of policy documents to ensure that the charity had robust and fully accountable procedures in place for its ongoing operation.

These policies are under continuous review, where new documents are drafted and ratified to augment those already in place.

These policies have a strict process of yearly review to ensure that they remain current and consistent with prevailing guidelines.

As a small charity, ACPIN is also highly dependent on the willingness of the ACPIN Board, who are entirely made up of volunteers, to invest considerable amounts of personal, unpaid time as well as having a few highly dedicated staff. We recognise a clear risk to the charity should we lose key individuals that we cannot easily replace. As a result are constantly reviewing our operational performance and capacity to ensure that we have the capacity, correct skill mix and availability to deliver on our objectives. To offset the workload of these volunteers we are always seeking ways to join other charities and organisations with a similar focus to ours, in doing small projects.

11. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31st December 2023.

12. REGIONAL HUBS

During the year the finances of each of the 11 regional hubs have been transferred into the main charity. Previously all the regional hubs managed their own funds independently. This change has resulted in a significant increase in the year end bank balance in the balance sheet and also the income earned from courses and projects.
