| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public beneft in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public beneft) |
The Danny Green Fund provides therapies such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, speech therapy, swimming sessions or horse riding therapies to assist rehabilitation of children sufering from disabilities as the result of Posterior Fossa Syndrome. PFS is a possible complication that can be seen in up to 25% of children following brain tumour surgery to the back of the skull. This year The Danny Green Fund has increased its provision of equipment to help recovery from this devastating syndrome, helping the children we support to regain some of the independence lost since their diagnosis. The charity also raises funds to increase brain tumour awareness & funding for brain tumour research. We are delighted that we were able to provide Christmas gifts for children staying on the various wards at Great Ormond Street Hospital along with gifts for the children staying in our local hospital this year. The deliveries were made to the hospitals for the staf to hand out the gifts rather than the charity trustees as the rules within each hospital have now changed as the result of Covid. The trustees of The Danny Green Fund have fully complied with their duty to have due regard to the charity commission public beneft guidance when making decisions in respect to main activities undertaken by the charity. We have received numerous messages of thanks from families whose children are sufering from PFS for the support and advice given both personally, through our Facebook page and through our website. |

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main The Danny Green Fund has continued to provide support achievements of the for children suffering from Posterior Fossa Syndrome as the charity during the year result of a brain tumour throughout the UK. We expect the increase in referrals received in 2022 to continue into 2023.
The charity has seen very positive results from the therapies that we have provided this year. The children taking part have continued to show increased balance, core strength and mobility which will ultimately help them to achieve their goals of becoming more independent and walking unaided once again. We aim to continue these therapies going forward.
The Posterior Fossa Syndrome parents support group on Facebook continues to be a great success in offering help and support for parents with children suffering from PFS in the UK and from around the world.
We have created an increased awareness of the signs and symptoms of a brain tumour through our fundraising and our social media, highlighting the need for safer less toxic treatments and to ultimately find a cure for this devastating disease. The charity has once again sponsored days of dedicated brain tumour research at Queen Mary University of London Brain Tumour Research Centre to hopefully help find a cure.
The charity has continued to receive revenue and created increased awareness through individual fundraising, through just giving, virgin giving, PayPal l and through our Social Media sites, which we hope will continue in 2023.
This year has seen an increase in fundraising from last year. This was mainly due to 2022 being the year that Danny would have been 21 along with the charity operating for 10 years.
A 21 mile bike ride to celebrate what should have been Danny’s 21[st] birthday year was a great success with so many friends and supporters taking part and fundraising to support the work of the charity during this special year.
