Structure, governance, and management of the trust

The Harley Jae Trust is a CIO – Foundation Registered 09 Feb 2015.

Trustees (Directors) take overall financial and strategic planning responsibility. The operational management is carried out by our CEO. A yearly development plan is developed by Trustees and CEO.

As we grow as an organisation, we understand every project needs a clear leadership to ensure success. We will ensure establishment of policies and continuous monitoring of proper implementation is in place as we develop as a Non-profit Organization. We will balance the powers of the members (with associated accountability), and their primary duty of enhancing the prosperity and viability of our organisation. We will establish Steering Committees to allow us to deliver projects to their full potential.

Employees and volunteers

We currently have two volunteers that support us - Anna and Joey.

Joey has helped us in the past and regularly uses his social media platform as a charity ambassador to share events and represent the charity, raising awareness of our work at the hospital. Joey has a very enthusiastic, kind nature and is extremely helpful during events. Joey has a genuine interest in promoting The Harley Jae Trust.

One of our future goals is to open a charity shop in Nottingham. We are currently completing research on the shop. Anna has experience within the charity sector as an influencer on social media and has worked alongside Barnardos. Anna will become The Harley Jae Trust social media influencer sharing posts from the charity shop, gaining more followers, spreading awareness of the charity shop and engaging with followers.

Volunteers are particularly important to us and we would like to increase the numbers in the near future.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.

Aims and outcomes

Our aims

Our outcomes

Donations of the specialised pushchairs to QMC

This enabled children to be discharged home and enjoy the fresh air and tranquillity of the outdoors whilst carrying vital life saving equipment with them.

Donation of specialised carseats to QMC

This enabled children to travel further afield with all the family.

Delivering wellbeing and care packs

We delivered gifts throughout the year to QMC and the donations given at Christmas. Staff, parent carers and the children admitted really felt pressures this year as life was returning from the pandemic. Mental health was soaring and we kept ensuring regular visits to the ward with treats to boost moral and shed a little light on everyone’s day.

Events

We organised numerous events over the year open to all of Nottinghamshire community to raise awareness of the chairty and raise funds. These include the Mount Snowden event and our golf days.

Video

We created a 5 minute video to give the general public a real insight into the lives of our beneficiaries and the work that we do to support them. This video was played at all our events and is available online.

Our future

In 2022/2023 we will continue to support new needs to tackle improving the health and wellbeing of children living with life limiting conditions and their families in Nottinghamshire. As well as our ‘business as usual’ activities our three strategic priorities are:

Our approach to fundraising

This year we will continue to work on our new fundraising strategy by applying for grants to ensure we maintain and meet the urgent need to further improve the lives of our beneficiaries and ensure sustainable growth.

We will adapt our public fundraising to the current climate and ensure we fall in line with our financial plan.

Message from the chair

The charity has had another busy year holding fundraising events in order to provide essential support for children with life limiting conditions, their families and the health professionals that work tirelessly to improve their health and wellbeing.

The Harley Jae Trust has now completed its seventh year of operation which once again has predominantly involved holding private fundraising events in order to raise money for vital equipment and resources as well as gifts for the children and families.

On reflection, the past 12-24 months have been incredibly difficult for small charities on the back of the Covid-19 pandemic and The Harley Jae Trust is no exception. Access to funding was limited and we received very little government support which placed our charity in a vulnerable position. In response to this, The Harley Jae Trust has had to change it’s approach to generating income streams by increasing our activities around bid writing and securing tenders. Whilst this is a new approach for the charity, it has been a very important one in order to navigate ourselves through the pandemic.

As we move into the next year, we are now confident that we can re-establish our pre-pandemic strategy which involves holding private fundraising events for our supporters to enjoy, whilst also raising funds for our beneficiaries. These funds, along with the remaining funds raised through grants will be used to provide wellbeing sessions for parents, equipment grants for children and families, Christmas gifts and any other ongoing support requested by Nottingham’s PCCU.

The charity will continue to use the successes of the past six years to demonstrate to external funders that not only can we work independently but we have the passion, skills and determination to carry out our objectives of supporting children and families who experience complex health conditions. Sourcing funding opportunities will be a main focus over the next twelve months, and we are confident that with these funds we can deliver vital and crucial work that will help improve lives.

To all our supports, volunteers, donors and sponsors, we thank you for your commitment, generosity and hard work. Despite the challenges ahead we look forward to working with all you again next year. Together we can truly make a difference.

Achievements and performance highlights

See some of the notable events from The Harley Jae Trust throughout 2021-22.

Wellbeing sessions

We created virtual wellbeing mental health sessions for parents/carers. This included Yoga sessions from Mumtaz every month.

Harley Jae’s 16th Birthday!

We celebrated Harley Jae’s 16th birthday.

Ben Nevis and beyond!

Our very own Summer walked to the top of Ben Nevis and raised donations. We are so proud of Summer for completing this and choosing us to donate to.

Norwood Park golf day

The Harley Jae Cup also returned in June at Norwood Park. We had a great day playing golf and raising funds for equipment to support children’s discharges from the hospital to home.

Snowdon climb for Harley Jae

We raised over £5000 by walking up Mount Snowdon with staff, supporters and volunteers all through the night. The team reached the summit at 5.45am along with Mountain Wonders who provided us with guidance and support along the way.

Blotts Country Club donate to HJT

Blotts Country Club and their customers for an incredible £250 donation, made through supporting The Harley Jae Trust collection boxes.

We finalise Snowdon donations

We received £6,313 in total from incredible donations towards our Mount Snowdon climbers.

PCCU hampers and care packages

We delivered care packages and hampers to the PCCU ward to all the families. It was even more important this year after the pandemic as we had not been able to visit as often. Lush, Nottingham donated some amazing care packages. We also decorated the ward.

Annual charity ball is back!

We had our annual black tie charity ball on 26th March 2022 with a champagne reception, live band, casino, fire breathers and a magician. We sold over 192 tickets. A huge thank you to everyone that bought tickets, helped organise and donated to the charity. We wouldn’t be able to hold such big events without people to support and attend. It means we can continue to do these types of events in the future.

Our future

In 2022/2023 we will continue to support new needs to tackle improving the health and well-being of children living with life limiting conditions and their families in Nottinghamshire.

As well as our ‘business as usual’ activities our three strategic priorities are:

Our approach to fundraising

This year we will continue to work on our new fundraising strategy by applying for grants to ensure we maintain and meet the urgent need to further improve the lives of our beneficiaries and ensure sustainable growth. We will adapt our public fundraising to the current climate and ensure we fall in line with our financial plan.

Financial review

Our events and fundraising activities improved from the previous reporting year with £38,391 of unrestricted funds being raised with an additional £19,580 of restricted funds giving a total income of £57,971.

Our donations to the ward, transitioning children home and supporting them in the community totalled at £12,552. This is a reflection of the amount of referrals received for support with 100% of referrals being approved.

General overheads were higher than the previous reporting year at a total cost of £20,202 with £7,820 being provided by grant funders in order to cover staffing costs.

This left us with overall net income in the year to 31 March 2022 of +£5,988 (2021: Net spend of £2728), which is reflected in the increased bank balance.

At 31 March 2022 £887 (2021: £4,367) was held in restricted funds and £21,332 (2021: £16,231) unrestricted and available for use towards the general objectives of the charity.

No gift aid has been claimed for the year 2020-2021 or for the year 2021-22.

Liabilities at the year-end relate to charity ball costs and accounts preparation and independent examination fees.

Reserves Policy

The charity no longer has any significant overheads. This is due to no longer being charged any office rent and no longer having paid employees. All work carried out for the charity is currently on a voluntary basis. Therefore the current reserves policy of £15,444 (6 months operation) will need to be reviewed during the following reporting year.

We raised £57,971 through donations, grants and events!

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Harley Jae Trust

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the The Harley Jae Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 16 to 22.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts as required under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

(2) that accounts do not accord with those records; or

(3) that accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than the requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
