HAYLEY’S HEROES
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 continued
The charity continues to work hard to raise its profile through social media, attending fundraising events, when able, to talk about our mission and the purpose we serve in the local community. This year we have worked hard to align ourselves with local hospices, where we can bring benefit to their patient. We successfully boosted our presence at our local hospital at the end of the year to broaden our reach.
In 2025, we were able to reach more people and attend more events. The charity is still feeling the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic, but we have been successful in raising our profile and presence in the community.
The charity has been selected by local business through sponsorship and for fundraising events like golf days.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The year to 31 March 2025 is the nineth year that the charity has been in operation. Fundraising income has not yet returned to pre Covid 19 levels but has increased when compared to the previous year. However, donors have been generous in previous years and unrestricted reserves of £114,378. were carried forward at the end of the year. The trustees are satisfied that the charity is on a sound footing and will be able to continue operating for the foreseeable future.
RISKS AFFECTING THE CHARITY
The Covid 19 pandemic had a major impact on the activities of the charity. Many of the activities provided were not possible. As restrictions ease some activities have become available again. The charity is conscious of its dependence on medical agencies to provide referrals to enable the charity to attain its objectives. Covid 19 has impacted on the ability of agencies to refer families. The level of current reserves mean that the charity is well placed to be able wait until confidence returns and it is able to offer its services in full again.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by The Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
The trustees would like to thank all the donors and referrers for their support during the year.
