Research

We continue to receive comprehensive 6 monthly Research Update Reports from UCL. A simplified version will be made available to NKH families and supporters via social media platforms. We have, in the current year, introduced a comprehensive 6 monthly Financial Statement in conjunction with UCL, which incorporates details of all appropriate financial transactions and a financial reconciliation.

UCL Donor Wall

As Joseph’s Goal has reached the very prestigious landmark of “raising over £1 Million” for NKH research, UCL contacted us re sculpting Joe’s hand for a “donator sculpture of hands” on their Millionaire’s Donor Wall. A cast of Joe’s hand was taken recently, with a more formal celebration to follow in the Spring at UCL for Joe and his family. The hand will then be hung in the atrium of UCL along with others who have hit the million pound mark for their respective projects.

The Board were pleased to appoint Harry Smith as a new Trustee. The Board met on 4 occasions.
