Objectives and Activities

1. Summary of the Purposes of the Charity

The relief of sickness amongst children and of those in need by reason of ill health, through injury or abuse, by the provision of auxiliary services aimed at increasing patients’ welfare and providing support to patients’ families, including, but not limited to the provision of equipment, amenities for patients, their families and medical staff.

2. Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts

The main activities of the Charity are broken down in to two sections – the fundraising activities and the provision of items and services relevant to the recipients defined in the Summary of the Purposes of the Charity.

A) Fundraising activities. The Charity raised the funds for the charity to further the charity’s Purposes through the Trustees participating in challenge events such as obstacle courses, 10K runs, Skydives and similar events. The charity also had many members of the public take part in similar events, as well as donations from members of the public.
B) The charity provided entertainment equipment including computer consoles, IPads and Android Tablets, DVD players, TV’s, games and various other items for entertainment which was otherwise unavailable due to its cost to the children’s wards at St George’s Hospital in London and Milton Keynes hospital.
C) The charity provided individual items to individual children that were going through treatment for serious and terminal conditions in the UK. Such items included IPads and PS Vita hand held game console and games.

Samuel's Charity is a Registered Charity with the Charities Commission of England and Wales. Registered number - 1164034

The Trustees confirm they had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when making decisions and running the charity.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.

The charity has helped improve the quality of life for many sick and terminally ill children. This has been done through the provision of medical and non-medical equipment and entertainment equipment. The primary recipient for this benefit are the children in the children’s wards at St George’s Hospital in London. An estimated 13,000+ children visit or stay at the children’s wards at St George’s Hospital each year and the items provided bring desperately needed relief from the awful time many of those children suffer.

This year we have also supported various children’s wards at St Peter’s Hospital, Kings College London, Bath RUH and Milton Keynes University Hospital.

Bringing some respite to the constant fear, worry and pain makes each day that little bit more acceptable and, with a more positive feeling, the children have a stronger and more resilient outlook. Reducing stress may help recovery as well and the provision of the items the charity provides help to reduce stress.

There have been some individual children that have received items wholly for their own private use. These children are referred to the charity by health care professionals working with the ill children.

The charity raised £26,987 through its fundraising activities and this is down 41% due to the impact of Covid 19. Covid 19 ruduced our ability to have fundraisers take part in events to almost nil and the support from 3 companies has been a major part of the income for the year. All our overheads were reduced as well as the Fundraising Manager costs removed for a period and reduced on return. Support to the wards and individual children was monitored and reduced in line with reduced income to continue our goals and to stay viable and able to continue as a charity.
