Why your gift matters

STEPS is the leading voice of lower limb conditions. Everything we do is about valuing and supporting individuals, families and carers affected by clubfoot, hip dysplasia or any other lower limb condition.

STEPS is entirely independent of the NHS and relies solely on charitable donations for its survival.

As a charity, we have a duty to keep our running costs as low as possible. In 2010/11 out of every £1 spent we spent 83p on our charitable objectives and 17p on fundraising and governance.

Unless your donation is specifically linked to a certain project, your money will be spent wherever the need is greatest in supporting all those affected by clubfoot, hip dysplasia and other lower limb conditions.

In the financial year 20010/11 STEPS total income was £213,106 

                                       £Thousand                                                            
Donations including direct debit/standing orders £81,436
Fundraising events including Justgiving/Virgin online donations £125,648
Other £6022

Your support helps us to ensure that anyone affected by clubfoot, hip dysplasia and any other lower limb condition receives the best standard of treatment, information and support that they need.

Whether you’re a parent, carer or someone who is personally affected by a lower limb conditions please take a look at our short film below on why your donation makes a difference.

 

How fundraising is regulated

Registered charities including STEPS are regulated by the Charity Commission in England and Wales. There are laws about many aspects of charity fundraising and local authorities grant licences to collect in public places. New legislation in England and Wales aims to make all aspects of charitable activity much clearer.

Look for a charity's registration number which should be printed on all fundraising materials. STEPS charity registration number is 1094343 in England & Wales

The Charity Commission is responsible for establishing charity status and securing compliance with charity law. The Charity Commission can look into wrongdoing by charities and has powers to make charities do what they're supposed to legally do.

STEPS is a member of the Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB), which was set up in 2007. This is an independent body set up to provide a code of practice in fundraising and an independent adjudication service in the case of complaints which cannot be easily resolved by talking to the charity directly.

As members of the scheme, we follow the Institute of Fundraising's Codes of Fundraising Practice and comply with the key principles embodied in the Codes and in the FRSB's Fundraising Promise, which includes a commitment to act in a manner that is honest, open, clear, respectful, fair, reasonable and accountable. 

All registered charities in England and Wales have to produce accounts. In England and Wales any charities with a gross annual income over £10,000 have to send their accounts to the Charity Commission. For those under £100,000 an independent examination is required.

STEPS fully audited accounts are available annually around September.
