CHAIR AND CEO OVERVIEW
We are dellghted lo share Jessie May's Annual Report for 2024-2025. Thi8 year's report hlghllghts the many
a¢hlevements of the Jes51e May loam as we conllnue to support chlldren, young peoplè, and thelr famllies at home
across Bristol and Ihe surrounding area8.
The last 12 Months have not been without challengo. In May 2024. our Deputy CEO, Clare Pearce, was diagnosed wlth
a Ilfe-limlting condition, and vgry sadty, Clare dièd in March 2025. Her Illness and death had a profound Impad on the
charty. Whlle Clare's rolè was not directly within our care seryi¢es, her loss was deeply fell acr05S the whol6
organlsalion. Throughout thK8 p8rlod, the priority ol the laad8rshlp team and the TNstees wa$ to ensur8 that the care w&
provlde to chlldren, young p6cple, and Ihelr familles remalned unaffected.
Despit6 these challenges, Jesslé May achleved signiffcant growth In the hours of carè dellvered lo tho chlldren and
famllies we support. On 1st July 2024, we entered into 8 new servlGe contract wllh Universlty Hospitals BHstol aml
Weston NHS Foundallon T￿st IUHBW). Thls partnership has str8ngth8ned the clinical gov6rnance of our care. ensurlng
il is moro robust than ever. Together wff(h UHBW, we restructured the ¢are team by allocating nurses to geographical
areas, whlch has Improved capacity and 18 refieclgd In the increased hours of suP￿rt provlded.
Alongside Ihis. we hav6 Inv8Sted in developing our non-nurslng frdmily support services through the creatlon of the Jessie
May Team Around the Famlly. Thls new approach enables us to provide mora hofistic 8UPPOrt, addrnsslng not only th8
chlld's care needs but also the wider needs of the wholg famlly.
In Sprlng 2024, Jessie May was Inspected by th8 Care Quallty Commissmin ICQC). wlth the report published in July
2024. We were proud to be rated G￿d overall and to maintaln our Outslandlng rallng in the area of Care, The
ass8ssment and feedbad( from thls Insp8¢tlon have directly Informed our quality prlorlties for the year ahead.
Fulure plans Include develotwnent of a ngw dlgilal Yecords 8ySt6m for children and famlly Information and contlnue lo
explore ways to anh8n¢e the palliatlV8 earo pathway through ￿llaboratIOn with partners across the childrgn'8 hosplce
sector, both locally and nallonally. This Indudes dlsGu&8iOnS to a potenllal merger with a larger charily with malchlng
¢haritable obiecliv88.
Later In 2025 we began dlscusslon5 with a larger charity wlth Similar charltab18 purposes lo 8xplO￿ whelher the potentlal
of worklng more closely wlth another organisatK)n could help us to offer belter support lo our chlldren, young people and
famllles In the fulure. We ar6 exclted to share that these dlscussicns have progressed and Ih&l our Twstees are now
¢onslderfng the oplion of a change of control merger, which Is expected to complete on 1 April 2028. Th1$ would mean
that we wlll have a parent company, offering support and oversight. whilst Jassle May remains its own entity and
contlnues to operate as il does today. wlth no ¢hanges trj the seNl¢es offered lo our famllles. HoNvevor. w& hope th18 is
first step towards creating a single, Integrated model of chiklren's palllative care settlngs.
Flnally, we would Ilke to acknowledge that none of this would be posslble wilhout the dedlcation of the Jessi& May tsam,
the commitm&nt of our Trustees and Ambassadors, and the goneroslty of our supporters.
We hope you enjoy thls roport.

Our responsibilities tor the audlt of the flnancial statsmonts
Our objectives are to obtain re280nable assurance about whether the financlal slalements as a whole are free from

rèspl￿SIbII1tY for the prevention and detecllon of fraud rests with both managamenl and th058 charged with gov6rnan¢e
of the company.
Our approach was as follows:
We obtalned an und8rslandlTha of the legal and regulatory rèquirements applicable lo the company and consldered that
the most slgnifirAnl are the C¢)mpanies Act 2006, Charities A¢t 2011, UK Flnanclal Reportlng Standards and UK taxation

We oblalned an understandlng of how the company complles with Ih8sè requlrements by discussions with management
and those ¢harg8d with govemance.
We assessed the risk of material mlsstat8menl of Ihe financial statemen18, includlng the rlsk of material misstatement
due to fraud and how it might occur, by holdlng discusslons with management and those charged wlth gcvemance.
We Inquir8d of management and those charged with govemance as to atTry known in8tan¢os of non-compliance or
SUSP8Ct8d non-complian￿ with laws and r&gulatlons.
Based on thls understandlng, designed specific approprlate audlt procedures lo identify in8tanc&s of non-compliance

Golng Concern
Th& charlty Is due to merge by way of a ohange of control agreem8nt, with a larger chaiity with slmilar Charitable
purposes. A draft m8rger agreement and draft revised articl88 have b8èn prepared and sSgned by th8 trustees on
16 NAarch 2026. wlth an èffective date staled as 1 April 2026.
The merger moves the Jess1& May T￿st under the control of the larger charlty. Tho larger charlty will become the
sole '¢orporale membarf of th• Jessie May Trust and will have authority lo appolnt additional trustees as is
required.
At the dale of approval of these financial 8talemants, it Is U￿ler$I00d that the merger will prDceed to the effeclive
date. Under the new 81ru¢lure, the Trustees of J&ssi8 May Trust expect the charty to continu8 to operate as
nomial. In addltlon, the Trustee3 have concluded thal the charity has adequate resouroes to meet Its Ilabililies as
they fall due for at leasl a period of12 months from th8 date of approving these financial slalemenl8.

has been classlfied under headings that aggrega1& all cost related to the ¢alegory. Where CDsls cannol bg
dlr8Gtty aitrlbuted to particular headlng5 thBy hav8 be&n allocated to a¢llvltles on a bagis consistent wSth the use
of rvdources.
