Section C Objectives and activities

The object of the CIO is to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time in particular but not limited to the advancement of research into potential Summary of the objects of the cures and treatments of blood cancers, for the public benefit of those charity set out in its persons currently suffering from these diseases, and those who may in governing document the future be diagnosed with these diseases. The CIO will in particular but not exclusively organise fundraising events, and make donations or grants in furtherance of its object.

M h 2012

TAR

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The CIO makes one or more donations to carefully selected organisations, consistent with its object.

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)

Research into potential cures and treatments for blood cancer provides a clear public benefit in reducing the risk of contracting diseases such as Leukaemia and Lymphoma, and increasing the possibility for patients to make a successful recovery. There are several renowned organisations operating in the UK, which have demonstrated through their research and clinical practice, substantially positive outcomes for patients and have communicated their know-how more widely, through peer-reviewed publications and conferences. They participate in important initiatives, which promote pan-European and other international collaboration in research and clinical excellence in treating blood cancers.

The section of the UK public who will benefit most from the work of our CIO is those persons who are currently suffering from a blood cancer, and those who may in the future be diagnosed with a blood-cancer related disease.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

The trustees follow a thorough process to identify suitable recipient(s) of the funds that we raise: typically either another charity, which closely aligns with our object (ie. focused on cancer research) or for example a renowned research team associated with a hospital cancer treatment ward.

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

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

We go through both a vetting process, including visit(s) to potential recipient(s) where appropriate, and a verification process (post-donation) to receive feedback on how our donated funds have been used.

There is an annual review of the effectiveness of these processes and corrective steps are taken where necessary to ensure that the funds we have raised are used according to our declared object. We continue to communicate with Professor Jane Apperley, the principal of Imperial Health Charity (Blood Fund) and through the discussions have been able to review and verify the satisfactory use of the grant made during 2022, and look ahead to plans for 2023.

The CIO is entirely organised and staffed by volunteers, to whom we are very grateful. The trustees and others donate the use of premises and facilities required for our fundraising operations.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

In the CIO’s seventh year of operation, donations totalling £500 were made to Imperial Health Charity (further designated for the Blood Fund); having been agreed by the trustees to be consistent with our object. This was facilitated in part by the generosity of John Mawhood, one of our trustees, who re-designated his original £200 loan to our charity as a donation.

A formal grant-making policy is yet to be developed, but would be based on the principles explained in the preceding paragraphs. The trustees remain at the heart of the decision-making process and other beneficiaries may be considered for future years.

Fundraising events have not yet been restarted, though we did continue to sell branded clothing. Insurance cover primarily relates to the cycling training (see below), which according to our assessment is the main risk. Due to timing differences for the payment of our insurance premium this year, it will fall into the 2023 FY. The trustees act as the main officers of the Fireflies Cycling Club.

The CIO was able to attract over 25 members to join the “Fireflies Cycling Club” which organises training for novice and improver cyclists enabling them to participate successfully and safely in endurance cycling events.

Meetings of the trustees were held virtually, including with sister groups around the world, which have similar objectives.
