REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
ONE GREAT DAY is a UK wide annual charity fundraising day, raising money and support for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and another local children’s charity close to the heart of each community.
ONE GREAT DAY is a registered charity and was initiated by parents whose son received care at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Our aim is to inspire, engage and empower our community to make a difference by getting involved in a series of local fundraising events held within each shopping centre across the UK on ONE GREAT DAY!
ONE GREAT DAY was established in 2014 and has so far raised over £1 Million for more than 330 different children’s health charities across the country.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The main object of the charity is the relief of sickness and the preservation of health.
Significant activities
The charity aims to support local hospitals and other children's health charities nationwide such as Great Ormond Street Hospital for children. Such funding will provide services and facilities not otherwise provided by the local authority and will also fund research activities for the benefit of the general public.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that the charity is of benefit to the public in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The trustees are satisfied with the performance of the charity. During the year the charity made grants totalling £185,667 (2024: £21,740) to charitable institutions.
Fundraising activities
The charity raises funds from the public by arranging 'one great day' of fun activities at shopping centres and office buildings throughout the country. Details of this event can be found on the charity's website at www.theonegreatday.com.
Internal and external factors

FINANCIAL REVIEW

FUTURE PLANS
Following a decade of successful fundraising, the trustees have begun a strategic review of the charity’s future direction. This work takes into account the evolving challenges within the retail sector and will help shape a sustainable and impactful path forward.
