The charity currently has 3 main projects. The activities of which are undertaken for the public benefit in relation to the charity's objects.

TOY BOX APPEAL: Crisis relief for families unable to provide even a basic Christmas for their children / young people. This is achieved by providing a good selection of presents, age appropriate and as far as possible geared personally to the young person.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit 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 benefit)

FESTIVE TREATS: Ensuring excluded youngsters have the opportunity to experience treats that are considered normal to their peers. We do this by inviting children / young people to the pantomime, parties and any other appropriate treat we have access to, from which otherwise they would, due to their family circumstances be excluded. This also includes Easter Eggs when available.

HOLIDAY PROJECT: We are able to offer free holidays (respite) to families in crisis, where it can be shown that the time away would have a positive impact on the wellbeing of the child / children.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

We do not give grants of financial support. Our support to all beneficiaries is achieved through either providing a service/items to beneficiaries such as, holidays / respite (as in our holiday project), Christmas gifts in respect of our toy box appeal project and finally opportunities through accessing theatre shows.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

We do not currently have a policy related to investment.

We rely heavily on volunteers to ensure the smooth running of our charity and throughout 2024 the support has been overwhelming, the support of our volunteers has a huge impact on the overall operation of the Charity.

The charity works closely with referrers from other charity organisations or statutory agencies, or any 3" party acceptable to the trustees. We do not take self-referrals.

We wish to thank all the donors who gave financial support and indeed their time and equipment to help us achieve our objectives.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

North Wales Superkids Trustees Report 2024.

The beginning of 2024 began with another 4 months of back and forth communication with Barclays bank, where trustees still had no access to the Charity Funds. By this time, some due payments were left unpaid, but there seemed to be no option for Barclays to help, despite the urgency, whilst they passed the case from department to department.

The site fees for the Caravan were now very overdue and Bourne leisure did deliver a notice for the removal of the Caravan within 30 days if the funds were not provided. This would have been catastrophic for the Holiday Project. Thankfully by mid April the new signatories were appointed and we were able to settle the balance overdue.

There were then payments made to the Trustees and volunteers who had kindly advanced funds to the charity during the Christmas period of 2023.

The charity was unfortunately required to return a grant to a funder, that had previously been awarded for the now abandoned Craft Club. The project manager had received payment for their expenses / fees during the planning stages in 2023, but this was not able to be deducted from the grant as the project did not go ahead. Therefor the funder requested the return of the whole grant.

During this year, a slight rebrand took place, with the intention of developing a more recognisable identity for Superkids. With a new simple logo and attractive colour scheme paired with a new easily accessible website and professional contact email. It was very well received by our supporters who agreed that it gave the charity a new modern look.

The holiday project was finally able to open in May, but despite the late start, the project supported more families than ever during the season, with 20 families each enjoying a Week long holiday at Hafan Y Mor. A huge thank you goes to Pwllheli based cleaning company, Riverside Gleamers, who not only Clean and change over our caravan every week, Free of charge, but have been so supportive of North Wales Superkids during the toybox appeal too.

The pantomime trip was due to go ahead in early December, with 100 seats filled and lots of excited families due to attend. Sadly the Great British weather forced the Theatre to close on the afternoon of our visit! It was decided that due to logistics, we would not try to reschedule, but have instead carried over our booking for Pantomime 2025.

Unfortunately due to an issue with the emails, our application for the Santa Flight was missed by the recipient. This meant that we sadly missed out on the seat allocations for 2024.

The toybox appeal was incredibly well supported, with more local drop off points confirmed and more businesses coming on board to support. The demand for our services had increased from 2023, and this year the number of referrals received and fulfilled was just over 2050. With many families struggling to heat their homes, it was decided that every recipient would receive Warm Pyjamas in addition to their usual sack of gifts. This

was achieved with the help of a grant secured from the final round of the Rhyl community partnership fund which was coming to an end. The team worked tirelessly to ensure that all referrals were complete and distributed in time for Christmas.

A huge Thank You to all of the individuals, groups and businesses who have supported us again this year. To our volunteers, we would not have been able to make this happen without You.
