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 therapies to help recovery from this devastating syndrome, we are enabling 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 were once again able to provide Christmas gifts for children staying on the various wards at Great Ormond Street Hospital and were also able to provide Christmas gifts for children staying in our local hospitals. The gifts are always gratefully received. The trustees of The Danny Green Fund have fully complied with their duty to have due regard to the charity commission public benefit 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 suffering from PFS for the support and advice given both personally, through our Facebook page and through our web site. |

Section D Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
The Danny Green Fund has continued to provide support for children suffering from Posterior Fossa Syndrome as the 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 waking unaided once again. We aim to continue these therapies going forward. We are also looking to increase the variety of therapies that we are able to offer going into 2024. The charity has received fundraising donations from organisations outside of our immediate area therefore spreading awareness of the work of the charity. 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 Portsmouth University to hopefully help find a cure. The charity has continued to receive revenue and created increased awareness through individual fundraising, through just giving, PayPal and through our Social Media sites, which we hope will continue in 2023/24. This year has seen a decrease in the number of donations made to the charity due to the cost of living crisis. The charity has been mindful of this in our fundraising activities this year. We hope that 2023/24 will see an increase in the opportunity to fundraise. The charity held our yearly charity ball at a new venue this year which was a great success. |
