16 Feb 2023 News

The International Medical Corps (UK)’s income has recovered after successive annual drops, though it has not reached pre-pandemic levels.

Accounts for the year to June 2022 show the charity’s total income was $121.2m, which is about £100m.

The humanitarian aid charity said it was able to “rapidly expand” its response to the war in Ukraine during the year and has reached more than three million people since Russia’s escalation.

“Though this report focuses on 2021, the recent war in Ukraine has created humanitarian needs on a level not seen since World War II,” the report states.

Income recovering after pandemic

In 2020-21 the charity’s total income was $116.1m, according to Charity Commission figures, compared to $121.8m the year before and $155.3m the year before that.

International Medical Corps aims to achieve institutional income of $122m during the 12-month period to 30 June 2023.

The charity had restricted funds of more than $25m as of June 2022, compared to around $15m the year prior.

Donations and legacies in the year came to more than $21m, which was up from $15.7m in 2021.

Saving on staff costs 

Total staff costs during the financial year dropped to $37.6m compared to $44m in 2020-21. 

The estimated number of staff working on local projects and overseas in 2022 was 2,546 as compared to 2,764 in 2021.

Nonetheless, the average number of staff in the UK remained similar, at 25, compared to 26 the year prior.

The charity has more than 7,500 staff numbers worldwide and 97% are recruited locally. 

“Our strategy ensures that the knowledge and tools required to prepare for and respond to future emergencies are culturally compatible,” the accounts explain.

The person with the highest salary received between £110,001 - £120,00 which was up from the £100,001 - £110,000 the year prior.
