Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity
TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCWDING DIRECTORS, REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Chair's Report
l am delighted to r8POrt that our mar¥Ellous charity has contlnued to bulld on its vital work,
with now more than 150 Roald Dahl healthcare professionals providing specialist care to
children with complex medical conditions across the UK.
Our Roald Dahl Nurses support over 36,000 seriously ill children and young people, providing
a vital lifeline to th6m and their families, supporting them both dinically and emotionally. Their
expertlse and commitment have led to a significant reduction in unnecessary hospitsl
admissions, A&E visits, and consultant appointments. We are inspired by their kindness. their
dedication and coordination of care for the children and the families, how they advocate on
their b6half, and how they educate the wider communlty about thelr pat18nt's conditions.
Importantly. we are filling the gaps to provide the rAre Ihat chlldren wlth Gomplex medical
conditions and their families desperately need.
The economic climate continues to prove thallenglng for all charities, but our teams have
continued to work with agility and flexibility, both In our fundraising activities and in the
programmes and services offerad to both the familias and our nurses.
Our MaNellous Family Support Ser¥ices have gone from strength to strength, releaslng more
than £2 million in unlocked benefts for over 500 families 81n￿ its establishment three years
ago. A new seDiice piloted durlng the last year, the Marvellous Emotional Support Service,
has proved extremely beneficial and will now b8 d8V81oped further. This s8Nice provides a
welcome space for parents to share advice, leam from each other and f88118ss isolated. W8
also continue to grow our professional development and leadership trainlng programme for
Roald Dahl Nurses, which are very popular and highly valued.
Followlng the sale of Roald Dahl Story Company to Neffilx In 2021, our core funding has
changgd from an annual donation to a one-off grant to be used to fund the charity's core costs.
Thls grant has been used to create an endowment for operational costs, to provlde core
funding for as many years as posslble, ensurfng that 100% of philanthropic income continues
to b8 used to support our charitable programmes.
On behalf of the truste88. I would like to say a heart-felt thank you to our many supporters,
including Roald Dahl Story Company and the Fantastic Peach Foundation, without whose
generosity we could not continue our important work. I thank our dedicated staff at the chaiity
who work tirelessly to achieve our goals. I would also like to express our gratitude to our Royal
Patron, Her Majesty Queen Camilla, Dame Felicity Dahl our Founder and Co-President, and
co-President Sir Quentin Blake and our other patrons, whose continued support has such a
positive impact on the children, famllles and nursas they me6t and th8 awareness they secure
of our vital work.
l am grateful to my fellow Trustees for thelr support and commitment to the charity and was
pleased to welcome *veral n6w Trust88s during the year. I would like to reconl a special note
of appreciation to Michelle Johnson. who retired as a Trustee after nine years on the Board,
most recently as Vice Chair. Her wisdorn, judgement and advice has been Invaluable to the
Board as a whole and to me personally as Chair.
Thore ara definitely challenges ahead, however l am confident that the charity r8malns In good
shap8 and will conlinu8 to achieve even more to help 58tiously children across the UK in the

At 31 March 2024, there were over 150 Roald Dahl h68lthcare professionals in posts across
the UK specialising in fi81ds such as epilepsy, neurology, haematology, gastroenterology and
transition of ￿re.
We have continued to introduce opportunities for specialist children's nurs83 in 8xisting
positions to become a Roald Dahl Nurse, so that even more seriously ill children and their
famllles ar8 SUPPOrted by tha charity.

our membership of the Florence Nighlingale Foundation Academy, ragular workshops and
training courses. arKI individual educatlonal grants. We held a very successful Roald Dahl
Nurses, Conference in October 2023, which was attended by 109 of our nur8es and leading
healthcare professlonals.
Nurse.led Innovatlon
Nurs8l8d Innovation is an important part of improvlng the quality and experience of health
care these seriously children receive. We work closely with our Roald Dahl Nurses to
encourage creativity in problem solving and to ensure that there is Spa￿ to bring ideas into
reality. In 2023 we started funding a part-time senior children's nurse post to work on our
innovation project on CMC Leadership. From our'lnventlng Room, programme, which allows
us to r88pond to suggestions from our nurses
while th8s8 can 0ft8n be modest, they
nevertheless bring improvements to make life easier for patients and their families
we
developed for example a board game for sickle ￿11 patients and families. There is often a lack
of understanding, knowledge and sometlmes a stlgma for famili8s associated with this
condltlon and thls game whlch was a board gam8, card game and online, provlded a practlcal
and clear way to communicate about the condition.
Support for our beneficiarles and thelr famllle8
Our Marvellous Flnanclal Support S8rvic8 has now been running for three years and has
provided support to around 528 families UP to the end of the flnancial year March 2024. The
service has secured £1,178.790 for families, with a further £929,273 expected, totalling
£2,108,063 in unlocked benefits since the start of the project. This highlights the huge value
this service brlngs In helping families to unlock welfare benefrts for which they are eligible.
In the 2023-2024 financial year, we saw an increase of around 480h in the number of families
accessing the service, with a total of 246 referrals. compared to 166 the previous year. This is
partly due to the increase in the number of Roakl Dahl Nurses who are signposting families to

Rlsk Management
The Board of RDMCC and Executive both consider risks facing the charity and what it can do
to mitigat8 them. Risk Registers ar8 revi8wed at every Board and Sub-committee meeting.
Principal risks and response to them are:
Reputational risk. The success of our charity is depend8nt upon the good name of the
Roald Dahl'brand" The Board and Execultve ensure, therefore, that all new initiatives ar8
properly thoughtthrough and that theyare in keeping with brand valu8s. The Charity liaises
closely with other Roald Dahl organisations, including the Roald Dahl Story Company
Limited.
Financial Risk. Our sources of finance are presented above and in our detsi18d accounts.
Charitable exp8nditure is often committed for a cDnslderable perlod, up to two years, and
every effort is made to match income to our expenditure. As many grant-making Trusts
will only commit for one year in advance, however, thls is not always possible, and vrfe
hava b68n obliged to commlt reserves to ensure that 8xp8nditur8 commitments are met.
Apart from committing reserves, the Board is also keen to increase the 8xt8nl of individual
and community giving so that future income is more predictable.
Counterpaty risk. Th8 Charivs principal pathers are NHS Trusts. Our current parth8ring
modal requires beneficiary trusts to commlt fundlng for new paediatric nurse posts for 2-3
years after the end of the Charity's funding period. Whilst most Trusts are very willing in
principle to do this, financial pressures on them mean that they are not always able to
provlde such a commitment. The Board and Executive is aware of th18 and are working
with NHS Trusts to find funding fonnulae that satisfy both parties.
Public benefit
The trustees (￿nrIMi that they have complled wlth thelr duty under the Charltles Act 2011 to
have due regard to the public benefit guidanc8 published by the Charity Commission in
determining the activities undertaken by the charity.
Truste8s' rnsponsibilltles ststement

Concluslons relatlng to golng concern
In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the trustees, use of the golng

this other infomiation, we are required to report that fact.
W8 hav8 nothing to report in this regard.

In our oplnlon, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audlt the Informatlon glvan

Matters on which we ar8 r8qulr8d to r8POrt by 8xception
In the light of the knowl8dg8 and understanding of the charitable company and its environmant
oblained in the cours8 of th8 audi( we hav8 not identified material misstatements in the

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in ralation to which the

the truslees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordan￿ with
the small companie8, regime and take advantsge of th8 small rx)mpan i8S' gX8mption
In preparlng the trustges. report and from the requirement to prepare a straleglc report.
R•sponsibilities of the trustee8
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the
trustees (who are also the dlrectors of the charftable company for the purposes of company
law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that
they glve a true and fair view, and for such Internal control as the trustees determino is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from materfal
mlsststement, whether dua lo fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responslble for assessing the charitable
company's ability to ￿ntinUe as a going concem, disdosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concem and using the going concern basis of accountlng unless the trustees either
intend to liquidate the charltable company or to cease operations, or hav8 fko realistic
alternative but to do so.
AudIt0￿S responslbllltl8s for th8 audlt of th8 flnancial statements
Our objectlves are to obtain r8asonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are fr88 from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an
auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance.
but Is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wlth ISAS (UK) wlll always d8t8Ct
a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influ6nc8 the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
16

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROALD
DAHL'S MARVELLOUS CHILDREN'S CHARITY (CONTINUED)
The 8Xtent to which our proc8dures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below:
I￿gUlarIti88, induding fraud, are instances of non-compliance With laws and regulations. We
design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect matertal
misstat8m8nts in r8SP8Ct of irr8gularitias, includlng fraud.
We galned an understandlng of the legal and ragulatory framework applicable to the company
and th8 industry in which it OP8rat8s, and consid8Ted the riskof acts by the companythat were
contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We discussed with the Directors
the policies and procedures in place regarding Complian￿ with laws and regulations. We
dlscussed amongst the audit team the identified laws and regulations, and remained alert to
any Indlcations of non-compliance.
During the audit we focussed on laws and regulations which could reasonably be expected to
give ris6 to a malerial mlsstatement in th6 financial slatements, including, but not limited to,
the Companles Act 2006, UK tsx legislatlon, Charity Act 2011, SORP 2019. Ourt8Sts included
agre8ing the financial statament disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and
enquiries with management.
Our procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to: inquires of management
whether they have any knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud, and discussions
amongst the audit team regarding risk of fraud such as opportunities ft)r fraudul8nt
manlpulation of financial ststements. We detennined that the principal risks related to postlng
manu81 joumal entries to manipulate financial perfomianca and management bias through
Judgements In accounting estimates. W8 also addressed the rlsk of management override of
internal controls, including testing joumals and appropriateness of other entrtes in the nominal
ledger; reviewing transactions around th8 and of the reporting perlod: and evaluatlng whether
there was evidence of bias by the directors that represenled a risk of material misslatement
due to fraud.
Because of the inherent limttations of an audit, there is a risk that W8 will not detect all
Irregularities. including those leading to a matarial misstatement in the financial statements or
non-compliance with regulation. Thls risk increases the more that compliance with a law or
regulation is removed from Ihe 8V8nts and transactlons refi8Cted in the financial ststements,
as we wlll be less likely to become aware of instsnces of non-compliance. The rlsk Is also
greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than 8rror, 88 fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our r8sponslbllltles Is avallable on the Financial Reporting Council's
websit8 at: https:Ilwww.frc.org.uklaudtiorsresponsibilities. This description fomis part of our
audltorfs report.
