The financial statements have been prepared in accordance willi Ihe 8¢WUllting policies set out in note I to Il)e

Objectives and activitie5
The charity's obje¢tivcs are to support ¢hildren sufferin¢* from serious or life-threatening illncss and thc fainilies of
those children by such charitable means as the Trustees see fit. In particular. but not exclusively. this can be achieved
by gi'antiiig financial aid to those childrcn and the families of thosc children who have been referred to the cliarity by
Do¢lors, Medi¢al Specialists, So¢ial Workers, Play Specialists, Local GP or Charity Ambassadors, by means of
financial aid or oil)erwise to fulfil the dreanis and wishes of tlie children and their families wlio are sei'iously ill oi.
have a life-threatening illne&s. The charity Creates special n)emories for both the children and tl)eir faniilies.
The main aim of the charity 15 to fulfil I￿s￿¢S and create many smiles and happy lifelong tnemorie5 for the children
and theii. families who find themselves in a very difficult position with a child who is seriously ill. This is extremely
impoitant for the families and tlie children who are seriously ill or liave a life-threateiiing illness. The charity acliieves
this by granting tl)eir wish, organising day trips and family events. As a cliarity we also l)elp tl)c fa]nilics by way of
financial or moral support by such means as the Trustees see fit. This is achieved, but not exclusively, by granting
financial aid or fulfilling the dreams or wishes ￿ those Children and their families that have been refei'red to the
charity by a Doctor. Nurse, Socia] Worker or Play Specialist.
Each wish request form 15 SUPPOrted by a letter from one of the following.. Consultani Doctor, Play Specialist, Play
Worker, Palliative Care Nurse, Board Member or Ambassador to confimi that the cliild is sufferint* from a serious or
life-tl)reatening illness.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activitie5 the
chaiity should undertake.
Volunteers
As a charity we are extremely lucky to have a tcam ofdedicatcd volunteers that are not paid any salary oi. expenses for
the eoiintless hours they dedicate lo making dreams and wishes come true for seriously ill cliildren theii. faTnilies.
Without our team of volunteers. we ivould Iiot be able to acliieve this. There are four volunteers tliat go above and
beyond for the charity PLitting in at least 25-30 hours per week, they arc Tony Curtis MBE Dia]￿e Evans, Karen
Tossell and Wei)dy Hobbs. It is unusual for a charity to have four volunteers willing to put in so many l)ouis wiihoul
being paid a salary or expenses. The charity has now been established just over 13 years and not one penny has been
paid in salaries or expenses to anyone. Special thanks go to an amazing tnum Sarah Gi'iffiths, who lost her daugl)ter
Daisy 8 years ago. In Daisy's le¢*acy. Saral) and lier family have rdised over £120.000 for the charity over tl)e last 8
years. We would like to take this Op￿rtUnIty to thank all ovr volunteers for their challenging work, dedication, and
support throughout the year.
