| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 2024 - Expanding Reach, Deepening Impact |
| 2024 was a year of remarkable progress for Anaphylaxis UK. Building on strong foundations, we reached more people than ever before with trusted support, practical tools and powerful awareness campaigns. Our work extended across communities, schools, workplaces, healthcare settings and international forums - always with the same goal: to improve the quality of life for everyone living with a serious allergy. |
| Through new partnerships, innovative resources and a growing digital presence, we deepened our impact while keeping lived experience at the heart of what we do. From the helpline to the boardroom, from classrooms to global conferences, 2024 was a year of action, connection and change. |
| Patient and Public Information & Support |
| In 2024, our helpline continued to be a trusted lifeline, responding to over 1,500 allergy-related queries by phone and email. Every call and email was handled with empathy, professionalism and practical advice, ensuring that patients, carers and families received timely support tailored to their needs. |
| Our library of factsheets, all accredited with the Patient Information Forum's PIF TICK quality mark, provided reliable, evidence-based information that was accessed more than 375,000 times this year. This recognition not only affirms our commitment to quality but also reflects the continued trust placed in our resources. |
| To reach audiences in new ways, we launched Let's Talk About Allergies in August - a podcast series featuring leading experts in the field. The first eight episodes, downloaded over 1,600 times, gave listeners the chance to hear directly from specialists on managing allergies and improving quality of life. |
| We also produced eight new patient posters focusing on practical allergy management and mental wellbeing, giving people accessible tools to manage daily life. Our new 20-member lived-experience advisory group began guiding resource creation, ensuring that our outputs remain firmly rooted in patient realities. |
| Regular weekly news articles covered emerging research, management tips and calls for involvement in studies - keeping our community informed and connected. |
| A notable highlight was our collaboration with University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust to produce a multimedia bee and wasp venom allergy awareness campaign, including podcasts, a mini-guide, a patient flowchart and educational posters. |
| Key achievements in 2024: |
| - 1,500+ helpline enquiries supported |
| - 375,000+ factsheet views |
| - 8 podcast episodes released, 1,600+ downloads |
| - 8 new patient posters developed |
| - Established a 20-member lived-experience advisory group |

| We also contributed patient insight to steering groups such as the BRIT Registry, BSACI EEDI, CYANS (Children and Young People's Allergy Network Scotland) and the Allergy in the Military group. In the food industry, we delivered allergen control training to teams at Nestlé York, bringing the human impact of allergies into focus for decision-makers. |

| Investment performance achieved against investment objectives |
| The investment objectives of the Charity are to maximise the value of reserves, while avoiding undue risk. The Charity's policy on investment includes a requirement to limit investments to 60% of liquid assets and only to invest in Funds regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Charity's investments in an Income and Growth portfolio with Hargreaves Lansdown showed a gain of £10,882 on the value report at the end of December 2023 (£164,295). The value at the end of December 2024 was £175,177. |
| Financial review: Reserves policy |
| To achieve a sound balance between prudence and ensuring funds are expended in achieving the objectives of the Charity, the Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted reserves held by the Charity should equate to at least six months operating costs. At the year end this equated to £343,181. Free reserves (excluding 6 months operating costs) at 31 December 2024 stood at £383,396. |
| Restricted reserves |
| Details of restricted funds are shown in note 18 of the financial statements. |
| Risk review |
| The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to manage those risks. A risk management register is maintained and risks highlighted are reviewed regularly to ensure they do not pose a threat to the Charity going forward. Key risks for the Charity include an uncertain economic outlook and its impact on fundraising by individuals and financial support from businesses. |
| ANAPHYLAXIS UK (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04133242) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| Financial overview |
| The Charity ended the year in a sound financial position with sufficient free reserves to meet its reserves policy. Net outgoing resources for the year amounted to £565,698. Unrestricted funds were £706,427 and restricted funds were £2,138. |
| Financial policies |
| All payments up to £10,000 made by the Charity have to be signed by two authorised signatories and by a Trustee in addition for payments over that amount. The day-to-day management of the financial affairs of the Charity is delegated to the Head of Finance and Operations who submits Management Accounts and a written report monthly to the CEO and Board of Trustees. A financial report supported by Management Accounts is delivered by the Head of Finance and Operations at each meeting of the Trustees. |
| Principal funding sources |
| The principal funding sources for the charity are community fundraising initiatives such as the London Marathon, sales from our AllergyWise training programme and from Business Membership. The charity also benefits from grants and sponsorship of project work such as awareness campaigns. |
| Use of funds |
| Funds received by the charity have contributed significantly to the expansion of services offered by the Information Team and in our ability to enhance our awareness campaigns to reach more people with allergies. |
| Plans for the Future |
| The Board have agreed a Strategic Framework for 2024-2028. The general impact the Anaphylaxis UK charity aims to achieve by the end of 2028 is: |
| We want everyone with a serious allergy to enjoy the same quality of life as someone without an allergy. Over the next five years, all of our work will focus on making this ambition a reality. |
| Our main priority areas and the impact we aim to achieve within each area are set out in the Business Plan since they were approved by the Board in March 2024. The main areas for future work are: |
| At Anaphylaxis UK, our mission remains clear and urgent: to be the leading source of trusted support, information and advocacy for people living with serious allergies. In 2024, we took significant steps forward in realising that mission - broadening our reach, deepening our impact and strengthening our voice in a world where confusion, outdated beliefs and lack of awareness about allergies still create barriers to understanding. |
| We know that the effects of living with a serious allergy extend well beyond the individual. Families, friends, schools, workplaces and communities all feel the impact. That is why we remain committed to delivering support that is both practical and compassionate - whether through our expanding helpline, our suite of factsheets and digital resources, or our growing network of peer support groups. In 2024, over 375,000 people accessed our information library, our helpline supported more than 1,500 individuals and our new "Let's Talk About Allergies" podcast extended our reach even further. |
| We continued to invest in resources that reflect the real-world challenges people face- developing posters on mental wellbeing, launching emotional support initiatives following research into bereavement and trauma and bringing lived experience into the heart of our resource development through a new advisory group. |
| ANAPHYLAXIS UK (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04133242) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| This year, we also strengthened our work with professionals and businesses. Our partnerships ranged from co-authoring international consensus papers on allergy management in schools, to delivering allergy education at corporate training days with food industry leaders. We are committed to working with businesses large and small - supporting them to improve their ways of working, understand the human impact of serious allergies and implement changes that make a meaningful difference to the quality of life of their customers and employees. |
| Raising public awareness and addressing misunderstandings about allergy remain central to our work. Our campaigns - such as the Bee and Wasp Venom Awareness programme, the FSA-led vegan food labelling initiative and the launch of our Hidden Battle with Allergies project - have helped shine a light on issues that often go unseen. The latter highlighted the emotional toll of allergy and sparked a national conversation that we will continue to champion into 2025. |
| We have also significantly grown our digital presence: our website saw more than 600,000 visitors in 2024 and our newsletter subscriber base doubled to over 25,000. Social media engagement grew by over 76%, reflecting a wider community that is active, engaged and hungry for credible, practical information. |
| None of this would be possible without the dedicated support of our staff, whose professionalism and passion drive everything we do. Nor could we achieve this without the generosity of our donors, fundraisers, partners and volunteers. Whether through time, money, or shared expertise - your support ensures that we can continue to be a lifeline for people living with serious allergies. |
| Looking ahead, we will build on this foundation. We aim to grow our support networks, expand our work with businesses and ensure that people know where to turn when they need clear, reliable information and practical help. Above all, we will stay focused on improving quality of life - supporting people to manage their allergies with greater confidence and less fear. |
| Thank you for standing with us. |

| - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

| ANAPHYLAXIS UK |
| Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Anaphylaxis UK ('the Company') |
| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| 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 |
| Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. |
| 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)). |

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about Anaphylaxis UK as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group.

| 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Plant and machinery | - |
