Equality- treal everyone equally, with fairness, parity and without discrimination, prejudice and bias,. The charity provides the support lo help families lo raise the money for medical treatment and therapy withln the self-funded sector of medicine and healthcare in the UK and Ireland. Funds are also raised for surgery and treatment by medical specialists abroad, where the specialist knowledge and expertise are available, In order to treat children as quickly as possible, often with ground-breaking therapies not available in the UK. Parental choiee is always key. We ensure parents ask the right questions lo help guide them to the bgsl solution for their child. Ultimately the parent makes the decision regarding the best Irealmenl available on advice from many sources. However, should Ihg pr8ferrod parental solution be 8n untried or untested treatment outside a clinical trial Jus14Ghildren will not support the fundraising lor this child. Where the Charity is unique is tha well-eslablished fundraising infrastructure and support mechanism around the marketing and communication of individual campaigns that allows families lo quickly establish their fundraising story and start to receive donations.

The number of disabled children continu8S to grow and this is anticipated lo increase further in the coming years driven by improved diagnosis, reduced stigma in reporting tlisability and better survival rates for pre- lemi infants. With 1 in every 400 children bom with cerebral palsy il is perhaps not surprising that a significant number of the families we support have a child living with this condition. Many are raising funds for additional physiotherapy not offered on the NHS or specialist equipment. For some. there is the option of Selective Dorsal Rhizolomy {SDRI a surgical procedure, an often rile changing operation whiGh reduces stiffness and spasticity in a child's muscles which in turn enablgs a child to have a greater level of control, dexlorily, range and mobility enhancing the quality of life.

Thls Year A change of government and a year of turbulence across the globe and locally in the UK were two elements at play. 2023-2024 was largely 8 year defined by soaring prices and rising interest rates, and unfortunately, innation was persistent throughout 2024. Families with disabled ohildren have been amongst the hardest hit by the 'cost of living crisis with many gxperien¢ing higher energy bills and household costs while also spending their own savings on vital support for their family. Research has also shown that peop5e are seeking lo engage more within their local communities for support. which has certainly been evldenl in o¢Jr family's lundraising these past 12 months. as we consistently see communities pulling togéther for Children. evident in the variety ol fundraising events we ar8 seging. Our family's needs unfortunately don't go on hold. but fundraising continues lo be a brave decision for families lo take on, with the economic pressures in play, SO this is where planning is key and a willingness to market a cause in a way in which people connect with it. Charitable giving lives on although households have less disposable income available for donating. charitable giving across the bosrd has shown that the will lo give hasn't diminish8é. There is a continued need for Jus14Children services. Il's more important than ever before that our services are here for families- now. when they need us most. There is a fundamental need for Jus14Children to keep growing so that we can help more families that need us across the UK. Our help is only possible with our supporters, donors and funders who allow us lo grow lo reach more families. Th8 NHS has b8en slr8tch8d thin for many years but particularly so in the aftemialh of covid 19, is now publicly acknowledged lo be in crisis. The tragic situation of sick and disabled Children not being able to access vital Irealmenls, therapies, and equipment Ireely, is swiftly becoming more common with increased delays having adverse outcomes on their conditions.

JUST HELPING CHILDREN REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ICONTINUEDI FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 September 2024 Thls Year Icontlnuedl The benefits of fundraising with a registered charity Jus14Children provides fundraising and marketing expertise, practical guidance and emotional support to help families in the UK to raise money for their children in more efficient and effectiv8 ways than Iraditional crowdfunding methods. Dlverslty W8 recognise that equality. diversity and inclusion is not only essential to building an inclusive workforce. but il is also al the heart of our charitable objectives lo promote and deliver equality of access to our services lor disabled and olhervulnerable children and young people within the community who need our help. We aim to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. We want to challenge all forms of oppression including those based on race, ethnicity, nalionalily, creed. gender. sex. class, sexuality, gender reassignm8nl, learning ability, physical impairment, mental illness, HIV status, age, occupation. income, wealth and unrelated criminal onviclion. We aim lo design our activities, services and decision making processes specifically to encourage and support participation from people who fac8 disadvantage in society. including women. BME people, disabled people. LGB TQ people, and people on low incomes. Just4Children contlnue lo be committed to EDI, promoting equity, diversity. and inclusion to promote and deliver equity of access lo our services and brand for disabled and other vulnerable children and young people within the community. This Can be bmken down into the following aims.. To ensure fair fundraising opportunities for all our families and build ongoing. long.lasting relationships with people from all communities., To provide an opgn and inclusive culture when communicating with families, suppliers. supporters and staff. To challenge hamiful stereotypes and become aware of unconscious bias., To increase our unéerstsnding of a diverse range of cultur81 festivals and cusloms to provide mo relevant and targeted fundraising plans and to inspire new Fundraising avenues., To achieve a more representslive and inclusive Jus14Children family. Our vision is that all chlldren Can get the help they need, regardless of their race or background and so recognising and understanding inequality in our society and championing equality in its place, is therefore integral lo our mission. Volunteers The TrusteÈs are extremely grateful for the considerable contribution made by the charlty's volunteers and fundraisers in support of our children. Grant Pollcy The Injstees have established ils grant making policy 10 8chieve Ils objectlves and aims.

The number of children that can be supported by the trustees is necessarity limited lo the amount of funds that are available for distribution each year. The trustees have determined that the current priorities for funding are= Assisting familie5 in th8 greatest need of financial or urgent support.

JUST HELPING CHILDREN REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 Soptembar 2024 Grant Pollcy l¢ontSnuedl The priorities for support will be revi&w8d by the trustees every year and may be changed depending upon circumstances and the percelved effectiveness of the application offunds. Any change lo these priorities musl stlll fulfil the charllable purpose and obleclNes of the charity. Increase In Demand This financial year has seen a slight fall in levels of donations with a 10.kn plus increase in costs primarily due to high inflation. The NHS is experiencing some ofthe most severe pressures in ils 70-year history. This pressure is likely to remain and perhaps gel worse with demographics. According to the Disabled Children's Partnership one child out of every 20 in the UK, is registered as disabled, and Just4Chl￿ren currentiy helps over 600 per annum. With the NHS at full capacity, children with additional needs don't get everything they need, with a lolal funding gap in disabled children's seryices described as above. Therefore, families need lom8kecrilicalchoicesaboulhowlheyaccess healthcare inlervenlions, making fundraising inevitable for some families with a huge spike predicted in crowdfunding, which is expected to increase by 14.70/0 annually over the next fouryears. This makes the chaws service offering a necessity for families and ouraim is to help as many oflhose families as possible across the UK, with more effective and tax efficient fundraising service and model to offerfamilies than traditional crowdfunding siles. 11 is clear Ihat the lack of resource is impacting heavily on finances of families across the UK and Ireland from all backgrounds and walks of life so Jus14ChLkgren has a vital role to play in conlinuing lo bridge the funding gaps. We help families lo fundraise in more effective and robust ways than traditional platfomis. This year has seen us spend signilicanl monies on operalions. therapies and equipment that make life changing differences to children. and lake the financial burden away from the NHS. If we ean support a child to get an operation or a piecÈ of equipment that the NHS cannot provide which makes a lasting long-term improvement for that child's health, the NHS saves money in the long-term. We are proud lo do our bit lo support the NHS in these diffi¢ultlimes. We look fornvard to 2024 and the challenges il will bring and knowwilh oursmall, dedicated team wewill leave no slone unturned in providing Ihe support and help our children 50 vitally ne8d. Impact We stayed in touch with parents regularly throughout the year lo check they had what they needed, and to be a listening ear when they needed lo offload the stress that th8 pandemic had caused for them. In particular, we were able to help our families meet the challenges of the pandemic and lockdowns with additional support. We worked with therapists and health centres to ensure th8t many children were able lo lake part in physiolherapy and sensory sessions online at home. We also assisted finding pieces of specialist equipment for home use lo help keep muscles active in a safe and enjoyable way. ensuring that better physical and mental health were maintained during a period when many of these children's conditions might have deteriorated othetwise.

For some, there is the option ol SDR surgery, an often life changing operation which reduces stiffness and spasticity in a child's muscles which in lum enables a child lo have a greater level of movement and thus an improved quality of life.

We regularly revlew the performance of these invgstmgnts and will be take advice from investment experts and our investment managers when needed. Investment R5$k The Charity is reliant on fund raising and donations for ils activities. The key risk to the long-term reserves is inflation. and the assetsshould beinvesledto mitigatethis risk over the long terni. The Trustees understand that this is likely to mean that investment will be concentrated in one or more actively managed mulli asset common investment funds and that the capital value will fluctuate to a smalldegree. The short-lerm reserves are held lo provide financial security and may be required at short notice. As such capital volatility cannot be loleraled and investment ot these assets should be focused on minimising this. We regularfy review the performance of these inv951ments and will lake advice from investrnent experts and our inveslmentmanagerswhen needed. Property Portfolio Our properties are now fully leased wlh no voids at the year end. Our long-lerm objective remains lo relain these residential properties lo generate income maximising the return lo benefit the charity. Whilst the properties continue lo generate income that goes slraighl to our cause, we are always alert to opportunities to divest the portfolio and this is something the Board freqLJently reviews, particularly considering the current economic climate. 13
