## **THE AMELIA-MAE FOUNDATION** 

## **The report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

## **Introduction** 

The trustees present their annual director’s report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2023, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **Purpose and Activities of the Charity** 

The principal activities of the charity set out in its memorandum and article of association are: 

- To support families and individuals affected by Neuroblastoma, both financially and via pastoral care 

- To publicly raise awareness of Neuroblastoma 

- To raise sufficient funds to continue our mission 

## **Public benefit that is provided by the charity** 

The charity operates for the public benefit so far as it provides support, advice, guidance to families, whilst raising awareness of Neuroblastoma. 

## **Achievements and performances** 

We, the Trustees of The Amelia-Mae Foundation ( **AMF** ) would like to report the following since our last report: 

## **Support** 

- We have maintained support through a new online process which has reduced our travel costs and allowed us to maintain 24/7 emotional support. 

- We have continued our Skype family meetings. 

- We have continued to conduct some targeted support for some of our families who have requested support. 

- We have continued to offer several grants in line with our aims and objectives. 

- We have continued to conduct targeted campaigns via our social media to raise awareness about Neuroblastoma. 

- We have supported over 30 families with a holiday at our Holiday Home at The Robin Hood Holiday home in Rhyl. 

- We have agreed to support a number of Neuroblastoma families with food and other vouchers (Toys, Amazon, SHEIN etc) during Xmas 2022 and will continue this in 2023. 

- We have continued to offer community support to raise awareness of AMF and Neuroblastoma. 

- We have taken on several families during the year, proving there is still need for our service.

**THE AMELIA-MAE FOUNDATION The report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

## **Training** 

- We have continued to offer our committee members training to ensure we have the most Suitable, Qualified, Experienced and Professional people on our committee. We have given Ryan a budget to continue his development to support the charity within the social media and online spaces. 

- We have continued our bereavement association status to ensure we have qualified people supporting the families. 

- Our Annual AGM is booked for Feb 24. 

## **Fundraising** 

- Most of our outlay is conducting fundraising events but we also measure the return and the necessity to create more than the cost. Events throughout this year include: 

- Mera Peak - over £30,000 raised (some raised in 2022s report) 

- 3 Peaks (annual) - Over £23,000 raised (some raised in 2024s report) 

- Bahrain 12 Hour Spinathon - Over £2000 raised 

- Goggins challenge - over £5000 raised 

- Verto annual ball and support - over £9000 raised 

- Curious annual business support - over £3000 raised 

## **Holiday Home** 

- Our Holiday Home has proven to be a huge success. Although the proposed running of the Holiday Home during our last report was a more manual process, we have invested in an autonomous system and Andy Bowie is now managing the holiday home. This enables us to direct families to the website and request a booking direct, which has proven to be extremely popular with our families. We have also had Trustees, Committee Members, Supporters and members of the public book, pay and use the facility to raise additional funds to support the sustainability of the asset. 

- We are raising as much surplus as we can (current £148,000) to ensure we have sustainable surplus funds to maintain and sustain this high quality facility and asset. 

- We currently have Curious as the Holiday Home sponsor, 2023 we have SERCO and in 2025 we have Fairway Driveways. This has been the effect of sharing the families experiences online, people are keen to support. 

## **Summary** 

- Over the last 12 moths we have worked hard to ensure we have regained momentum in regards support for AMF and awareness of Neuroblastoma. We have had a successful year and have all the policies in place to offer sustainable support to Neuroblastoma families.

the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. 

## **The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the Company’s Articles the directors are known as members of the charity. 

The directors are chosen to bring a wide variety of skills to the charity management. Trustees are selected on the basis of the sharing of the vision for the charity and whether their skills are those needed in order for the charity's objectives to be advanced. 

Any new appointment is considered by the trustees in their regular meetings and one of their number is deputed to approach the individual concerned. 

It is intended that in future new trustees will be required to shadow existing trustees prior to their appointment. New trustees are encouraged to engage in a suitable period of training. 

All decisions are made directly by or by consultation with the trustees as a body.

## **Statement of Director’s and Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

-  Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

-  observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

-  make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

-  state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

-  prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the

## **THE AMELIA-MAE FOUNDATION** 

## **The report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Statements as to disclosure to our independent examiner** 

In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report: There is no relevant information, being information needed by the independent examiner in connection with preparing their report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware, and the trustees, having made enough enquiries of fellow directors that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant independent examination information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information. 

By order of the board of trustees This report was approved by the board of Trustees on 10 November 2023

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Charity** 

## **Report of the Independent Examiners to the Trustees on the account of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

I report on the financial statement of the charitable company on page 9 to 17 for the year ended 30 September 2023. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner** 

As the charity trustees, who are also directors of the company for the purpose of the company law, you are responsible for preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and is eligible for independent examination.  It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine accounts under the section145 of the Charities Act; 

- Follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken** 

My examination was carried out in accordance to general directions given by the charity commission. An examination includes a review of accounting records, kept by the charity and a comparison of accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedure undertaken does not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. Consequently, no opinion is given to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

In connection with examination, no matters have come to my attention. 

Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements; 

- To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statements of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities have not been met; or, 

- To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The date upon which my opinion is expressed is:  10 November 2023

The directors are satisfied that the year ended on 30 September 2023 the charitable company was entitled to exemption from the requirement to obtain an audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no members have required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the act. However, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, the accounts have been examined by an Independent Examiner whose report appears on page 8. 

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime.

**THE AMELIA-MAE FOUNDATION** 

**Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## a) Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard application in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP(FRS 102) the Financial Reporting Standard application in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets & liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes(s). 

## b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern. The Charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant and donation support and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on that continuing financial support. 

## c) Income 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.  Income received in advance of the provision of specified services is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## d) Donated services and facilities 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised and refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## e) Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

13 



## **THE AMELIA-MAE FOUNDATION Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

## f) Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds f the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Costs of raising funds comprise the consists of commercial trading. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## h) Allocation of support costs 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note1. 

## i) Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## j) Creditors and provisions 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimating reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## k) Financial instruments 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised 

14 



**THE AMELIA-MAE FOUNDATION Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2023** 

at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loan which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2 Legal status of the Trust** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being would up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
