TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 SEPTEMBER, 2019 — 31 AUGUST, 2020

‘Peterson’s Fund for Children’ is a registered local charity that supports children in Surrey, and its surrounding areas, who struggle with severe mental / physical disabilities. It provides financial and other assistance to families with children, and other young persons who are unfortunately faced with this situation, by providing funding to:

The aim of the charity is to help as many young people in need as possible in the hopes of improving their quality of life and offering them opportunities in order to maximise their individual growth and potential.

The charity started nearly 13 years ago. It began small with a weekly food concession Stand at a local sports field, and helping one child, and has since grown to include several large fundraising projects throughout the year. This year, the twins who we were supporting, have moved away and are no longer in need of our care however this enabled us to add a new child to those we support, bringing our number to 8 children plus some ‘oneoff opportunities when feasible to do so. The charity is supported by many friends and sponsors that donate generously of their time, services, talents, resources and money and we are very grateful for their assistance.

We area relatively small charity, however this does not mean the we do not have an impact. The charity provides hope for families; hope that the future for these wonderful young people will be enhanced and full of possibility and opportunity. Whether it is weekly therapy sessions or the purchase of equipment, we aim to provide the resources to further their development and enrich their lives. It does not take much, but it means so much. We do not provide the therapy but fundraise so the children we help can afford the best care.

For the year from September 2019 to August 2020, the charity was involved with numerous fundraising events, although not as many as usual due to the devastating effects of the pandemic:

erating £300 in funds.

We were fortunate , with the money raised through these events, to provide £35,515 in grants to the children that we support, as well as a few one-off donations to other young persons in need, during this time period. All the money we raise goes to the children, since the Fund has no salaried employees or overhead expenses. This year, the expenses changed as most of the therapy needed to be done virtually and much of the raised funding went to supplying healthy food for our families during lockdown. We would like to thank the following sponsors, who have contributed to the charity: ¢ ACS Cobham International School for concession opportunities ¢ Precision Golf Limited ¢ The Rehma Foundation

We look forward to another exciting year in the charity and hope to increase our funds, Our exposure and awareness and, most of all, our ability to help those in need. Peterson’s Fund for Children
