Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity, and in particular the level of reserves, and on the basis of current projections, they are satisfied that the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “In recognition of the work Kristyn Manley had undertaken over the past two years, in particular as co-author of the joint guideline on the management of unscheduled bleeding on HRT, the board made the decision to co-opt her onto the medical advisory council.”
• “Penny Junor continued as Patron, but during quarter two of 2024, indicated that she would be happy to step down from the position. The board respected Penny's wish to step down. They thanked her for her tremendous ongoing support - for more than twenty years - her advice and her expertise, especially in relation to publishing and the media.”
• “At the June trustees' meeting, the viability of the WHC advisory service was discussed. Jeannette Richards resigned in February as a result of changes in her personal circumstances.”
• “Becky Hay left BMS employment on 20 August.”
• “Prior to the trustees' meeting held on 26 June 2024, a document was circulated to the board, detailing a proposal to deregister WHC as a charity. ... WHC could be closed at the end of 2024. This was agreed and the BMS engaged lawyers, Bates Wells, for guidance on the deregistration process.”
• “In October, Lucy Gill, our membership manager resigned. Lucy joined as office administrator seven years ago and gradually took on more responsibilities, eventually becoming Membership Manager in May 2023.”
• “Sarah Haveron Jones managed the recruitment of the Membership Administrator and in November, we welcomed Jo Oxley to the BMS office team.”
• “Recruitment began in September for a new office administrator to replace Hazel. ... we welcomed Helen Kirkaldie in October.”
• “Kate Ellis was promoted to Communications Manager at the beginning of 2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
