ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The International CML Foundation (iCMLf) is a global charity working to improve the outcomes for people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Our mission is to foster global collaboration, share best practices, build clinical capacity, and accelerate research to ultimately find a cure for CML.

In 2024-2025, the iCMLf continued to address unmet needs in CML care and education by driving global research, enhancing medical education, and fostering access to expert guidance and clinical excellence.

SUMMARY OF CORE PROGRAMS AND IMPACT

1. Global Research

The iCMLf leads international collaborations that investigate critical questions to improve CML treatment, including:

- Big Data Projects: Through the Genomics Alliance and TFR (Treatment-Free Remission) Alliance, the Foundation is working to analyse over 3,400 datasets from 27 sites across 19 countries. These projects aim to understand genomic drivers of CML and improve the success rates of therapy discontinuation strategies.

- Research Publications: Three significant peer-reviewed studies were published this year, providing new insights into CML biology and management.

2. Education and Clinical Capacity Building

Physician education on clinical management and diagnostics remains a core focus for the iCMLf. Programs include:

- Knowledge Centre: Over 1,200 professionals accessed expert-led educational modules, including a new focus on fertility and pregnancy in CML.

- Regional Discussion Groups: Nine sessions held across three continents engaged 250 physicians from 44 countries, promoting region-specific dialogue and clinical learning.

- Clinical Conversations and Forums: These sessions facilitated global peer learning. Over 2,000 on-demand views were recorded across three key sessions.

- Publications and Case discussions: More than 8,000 views of challenging case discussions, including complex cases on pediatric relapse, pregnancy, and fourth-line therapies, provided practical guidance for clinicians.

- In-Person Events: iCMLf convened expert panels at major global events such as the John Goldman Conference, the American Society of Hematology meeting, and the Indian Cancer Congress.

3. Awareness, Recognition, and Advocacy

- iCMLf Prizes: Prestigious awards were presented to leaders in research, clinical practice, and patient advocacy.

- Patient Support: Programs and community engagements such as Friends of Max in India amplified patient voices and needs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The financial position of the International CML Foundation remains solid.

Expenditure

- Total expenditure on programs: 67% on physician education, 11% on disease research, and 9% on patient support.

- 36% of all expenditures directly supported people with CML in LMICs.

- 13% was allocated to fundraising and 10% to governance.

Principal funding sources

The iCMLf works closely with industry and community partners to secure unrestricted grants and sponsorship for our programs and activities. The iCMLf requests donations through the iCMLf website.

Reserves policy

The reserves at the year end were £184,718 (2024 - £263,528). It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure the day to day running of the Foundation. The level of reserves and current financial commitments are reviewed regularly at Trustees' meetings.The Foundation plans to hold a minimum of £150,000 as reserve funding. This is the amount for the foundation to operate without further income/outgoings for one year.

FUTURE PLANS

The Trustees are proud of the iCMLf's achievements in 2024-2025. Our commitment to equity in CML care, global collaboration, and scientific innovation continues to drive tangible improvements in patient outcomes. Looking ahead, the iCMLf will build on the momentum of its current programs by expanding its research networks, launching new regionally focused education initiatives, and deepening engagement with patient communities. The Foundation remains focused on supporting clinicians and researchers worldwide as we work toward a cure for CML.

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.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The power of appointing new or additional Trustees is vested in the existing Trustees. Prior to appointment, new Trustees would be introduced to the workings of the Foundation and advised of their responsibilities.

The iCMLf Board of Directors is composed of globally renowned hematologists and researchers who provide strategic leadership to the Foundation. To ensure diverse perspectives, the Board includes representatives from low- and middle-income countries, notably Brazil and India. In 2024, the iCMLf established a Patient Advisory Committee to strengthen patient representation within its work. This new committee brings together eight CML patients and advocates from five countries, who will collaborate with the Scientific Advisory Committee to help shape and support the Foundation's mission. The iCMLf's operations are managed by a multidisciplinary team based across Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and India.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The International CML Foundation ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st August 2025.

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)).

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.

J Cortes - Trustee

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.

Income

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria

are met:

-

The charity or its subsidiary have entitlement to the funds;

-

any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity or its subsidiary;

-

there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; 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.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

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.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result and are shown as other income.

The charity heavily relies upon the many medical professionals who donate their time to help run the various charitable activities undertaken. It is not possible to accurately calculate the value of the services contributed by these volunteers and therefore the numbers do not reflect either the income or expenditure, however it is thought to be in the region of £230,000.
