Background
Hannah Francis founded the charity, Hannah's Willbery Wonder Pony in Mar¢h 2016, having been
diagnosed with osteosarcoma the year before at just 17 years old. Sh8 wanted lo leave a legacy and
help people like her who are affected by a serious illness and wanted the Charity to raise money to
fulfil two prin¢ipal objèctiv6s', to fund re5&arch into osleosarcorna and to provide equestrian
experiences lo seriously ill people. The Charity went from strength lo strength under Hannah's
leadership and has continued lo grow since her passing in August 2016. raising m()re than £2 million
to date. The Charity has funded a number of significant research projects as Hannah so dearly
wish&d,' she fought so courageously and endured such archaic treatment that she never wanted
anyone else lo have to go through this. Hannah lived for her horses and whilst she was ill, she ticked
many equine dreams off her bucket list, and gave her the inspiration for 'Willber￿S Wishes.. The
Charity is granting Willber￿S Wishes ID seriously ill people in the hope that these experiences inspire
others in the same way as they did Hannah, bringing a little happiness and hope during the darkest of
times. We the Trustees are grateful lo the thousands of people who have helped with donations.
fundraising and spreading the word about Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony Charity.
When necessary, the Charity engages the services ol experts lo assist with the running of the Charity
bul for the vast majority of the lime il has been run by volunteers, including the Trusl&es, and we are
very proud of everyone's efforts in keeping the cost of running the Charity lo a minirnum and thus
ensuring maximum funds are available lo apply lo public benefit, however the need for full time staff is
continually under review lo ensure the Charity continues lo run efficienuy. With the current cost of
living crisis irnpacling many businesses and charities, we are 8sp8¢ially grateful lo our volunteers for
the financial protection they give us by giving many hours of (heir lime. as well as opening their homes
for meetings and providing storage space for our trading subsidiary's merchandise stock.

Ouractivitigs during 2022/23 and achievements to date
We believe that the Charity has provided a public benefit in the following ways..
In our sevgnlh full year as a charty as anticipated funds genoraled were lower than the previous
year, £103,613 Iprevious year £140,777) and consequently a deficit of £5,880 was recorded (previous
year £6,468 surplus). The fundraising environment ha5 been more challenging in part due lo the
impact of the InC￿aSed cost of liKYng bul we are incredibly grateful for the fabulous fundraising efforts
and generous donations from so many of our supporters. We also received gènerous donations from
indivlduals. trusts and other chaiilies. The money raised will help lo provide funds to meèt the
Charity's long-lerm objectives and provide public benefil in the years to come by helping fund bone
cancer research and providing Willberry's Wishes.
The trading subsidiary, which sells Willberry branded merchandise and donates all of ils profits
(£12,837 in 2022123, previous year £10,121) lo the Charity, has hod another successful year.
Demand remained steady for our Berry Ponies and for other items which were also sold at equestrian
events including at the Pratoni eventing comp8lilion in Italy and online. The portfolio of branded items
offered is consianlly reviewed lo ensure that we keep our followers happy and achieve the best
financial outcome.
During the year, we have provided a number of Willberry's Wishes lo people who are fighting, or are
affected by, serious illness. Spending during the year provlding these experiences amounted lo
£8,106 which included..
o A magical day lor a litue girl and her brother on a farm with Hannah's pony, Doris, and her friènd,
Teddy the Shetland
o A trip lo Blair Castle lo walk the course and meet inlemalional event riders, Pippa Funnell, and Matt
Heath
o A yard visit lo meet the one and only Valegro
o A horse camp with her own horse for Charlolle al Aston Le Walls summtsr camp
o A ride on the gallops al NewmaTkel and a lour of the training grounds and jockey rooms, with
sincere Ih8nks lo the Jockey Club
o A training session and fantastic experiences at Jonty Evans. yard
o Two amazing visits to the London International Horse Show, including meeting Father Christmas
and a ride on his sleigh
o We weie also very pleased lo work with another charity, Sullivan's Heroes. lo help prowde funding
for adaptations lo a child's home lo rneel medical needs and improve comfort
We are extremely fortunate that many wonderful people in the equestrian community assist us in
providing Wishes al no charge to the Charity. sin￿ formation. many Wlshes have been granted and
all of these have been very well recewed by the recipients and we Iix)k forward to providing many
more.
In respe¢l of medical research, we have In place an expert panel lo assist the Trustees in sel&¢ling
and analyslng bone cancer research projects. The expert panel is headed by Dr Claire Clarkin.
Associate Professor of Developmentsl Biology, Unlversity Df Southampton, and she is very ably
assisted by Dr Alice Goring, who compl$led a PhD related to tho sludy of the role of blood vessels in
bone diseases, and Ihey both provide critical assistance lo the Charity in managing the medlcal
sear¢h investment process. We have continued to meet numerous clinical and academic specialists
in the field of osteosarcoma research and have made significant progress in increasing the profile of
the Charity in the academic and sdenlific communities, including advertising for PhD studeniships
with major universities. We wll be holding an osteosarcoma symposium in London in October 2023
where we will be sharing feedback on the r&search projects currently being funded and our plans for
the future.

Trustees, Report
To date, we have identified and committed lo seven projects from leading English Universities that we
are supporting wlh 8 ¢ombined value of up lo £579,608, of whi¢h £92,894 was spent in the financial
year. We are confident that in the coming years we will identify projects from other inslilub'ons that will
assist in the idenlificalion of the causes, prevention and Irealmenl of bone cancer and other types of
cancer. These efforts will by significanuy enhanced by the recent announcement that the Charity will
be working logelher with Thg Bone Cancer Research Trust to offer funding of up to £250,000
(£125,000 funded by each charity) lo support projects focused on improving outcomes for
osle05arcoma patients.
The lead lime for identifying, reviewing, approving, and funding research projecis remains up lo 2
years. The Trustees are very ¢ons¢ious of the need to select prospe¢live research projects carefully
and to ensure the Charity's money is invested in a considered and approprlale way.
Our Strategy Going Forwards
The Trustees continue lo review the strategy of the Charity to ensure that it provides public benefit
and has the ability to meet ils objectives. The Trustees are hopeful that income generated in 2023124
will meet our target of £100,000 and this, together with our strong reserves position. will enable us to
carry out the Charity's objectives in futuro years.
As mentioned above, the Charity has entered into agreements to fund seven research projects. Due
lo the impact of Covid-19, several of these projects were partl8lly delayed as access to university
laboratory facilities were severely restricted, firstly due lo the lockdown itself and then thè necessary
reduction in capacAly lo provide a safe gnvironmenl in which lo work and obseNe social dislanan9
recommendations which occurred post the lockdown. The cost impact of these delays has been
minimal.
11 Is shocking lo note that chemotherapy treatment for osteosar¢om8 hasn't changed in the past 30
years and has a limited success rate. The treatment is barbari¢ and causes suffering and horrific side
effects. New ways lo fight this devastaling diseas8 are urgently needed.
The projects that we are currently funding are listed below..
o The first is with the renowned Department of Oncology and Metsbolism al Sheffield University which
runs until the end of 2023, with a total Cost of up lo £227,000. The project can be summarised as
follows..
As a result of funding from Willbervs Research, a team comprising a Post-Doctoral Researcher
(Luke) and a PhD Student Iviclorial, led by Professor Allie Gartland, is lesling over 5,000 existing
drugs and compounds lo assess their effectiveness in killing osteosarcoma ¢ells. The team hopes to
id&nlify potentially useful new drugs and pathways to develop more effective Irealmenls to improve
patient respY)nses. Because the drugs being screened have already been approved for human use,
the identification of new drug candidates could potentially be timelier and reach the clinic In a much
shorter time as a result.
The main current Iherapeulic approach for osteosarcoma is a combination of meth01￿x￿te.
docorubicin, asplatin, andlor ifosfamide associated with surgery. Unfortunately, not all patients
respond lo thes8 ch8moth8rapy drugs. as their lumour becomes 'chemo-resislant' and their overall
5-year survival rale is drastically reduced. The need for allemalive, more effective Irealmenls lo
increase the survival rates of osteosarcoma paliènls is clear. The scientific team being funded by
Willberryls Research is using 'High Ihroughpul screening, lor HTSI of compound 'libraries' lo identify
whether existing drugs can be used in osteosarcoma.

Trustees, Report
Excib'ngly, out Df the 4,400 drugs which have been screened so far, 550 have been found to have a
negative effect on the growth of osteosarcoma cells Igro¥Mng in a dish) al high doses.
o Another of our projtscls is a first fully fundèd PhD sludenlship, based at Middlesex University within
the Centre for Investigative & Diagnostic Oncology. The research. led by Dr Helen Roberts (Senior
Leclurerl. aims lo unravel the complex cellular and environm&ntal control of how osleosar¢oma. th8
rare type of bone ¢an¢er the Charity is focused on, spreads lo olh8r tissues such as the lungs.
For the past 30 years, survival rates in osteosarcoma patients have remained unchanged, partly due
lo the lack ol research into why the tumour spreads and what initiates this process. Preclinical and
clinical evidence highlights thal ostéosarcoma lumours likely resido In the bonè environment due lo
'proleclive' interactions with bone ce115. It is hypothesised that disruption of these protective
interactions Causes the lutnour lo move from the bone lo the lungs in a process called melaslasis.
The project is investigating why osteosarcoma tumour5 rllelaslasise lo the lungs and is using cutting
edge cell-based assays lo define nol only the role of the bone cells, bul also the lung environment.
The project draws on the lissuè engineering experience of Dr Scotl Roberts Isenior Lecturer in
Translational Skeletal Rèséarch, RVCI, who has spenl ovèr a decad8 developing laboratory grown
IissLJes that ¢an bo used for regenerative medicine and the investigation of disease processes. Here
is an update from our researcher..
'Our project aims lo identify how osteosarcoma cells spread lo other tissues such as the lungs. We
have identified spheroid-like structures formed from osteosarwma Cells which we have t6rmed
'Migratory Bodies,. Thèse Migratory Bodies divide, reattach, and express increased gene expression
of stem ¢ell mark&rs, suggesting that they contain tLJmour initiating (cancer sleml Cells and are
therefore an ideal model for studying how osteosarcoma cells spread lo other tissues.
'We have also looked al the effect of secreted faolors from iwo types of bone Cells on osteosarcoma
11 rnigration. The data show that when osteosarGDma ce11s are cultured with factors secreted by
osteoclasts (cells that braak down bonel and me5enchwnal slromal cells IMSCS,. ￿lIS with the unique
ability to develop into specialised cell lypesl, Migratory Body formation is suppressgd. Thus. we
believe that both MSCS and osteoclasts secrete factors that modulate Migratory Body forrnalion and
thus osteosarcoma cell migration. By investigating these findings further. we hope lo understand
some of the mechanisms that allow osteosarcoma lo spread lo other lissutts..
o Th8 Charity is also part-funding a PhD student at each of Sheffield and Manchester Universllies and
two al the University of Soulhamplon, with a combined funding of £183,000 over 3 y&8rs. All four
projects are focussed on Osteosarcoma.
o As an example. Hannah was our first PhD sludenl and based al Soulhamplon University.
Osleosar¢oma is the most common bone sarcoma in adolescents and has a poor outlook. Novel
treatments for this poorly met patient group are clèarly needed but thair development is hampered by
the complexity of the disease and the environment in which it grows. Sl8phèn Beers, Janos Kanczler
and Juliet Gray are a team of bone and cancor specialists brought together by funding from
Willberrfs Research. Hannah is developing 3D models of osteosarcoma lo gain a beller
understanding of the inleraclions betsveen the osteosarcoma lumour and its surrounding environment.
Osteosarcoma is an incredibly complex typ& of cancer and currently very little is known about the
environment in which it grows. With more knowledge, investlgalions into more effective treatments for
osteosarcoma will be possible. improving patient responses.

This project focused initially on the drug mifamurtide (also known as Mfypactl which is used in
patients, bul lo which not all respond, lo understand how this drug wc>rks and pol8nlially how lo make
it work better in more patients. Her Pho is to develop a 3D model of osleosarcorna, which will enable
the testing of new drugs and therapies. This is dong by using bone from patients who have had hip
replacement surgery and inserting oslgosarcoma cells into these bone cores. These cores are then
positionad lo enable blood vessels lo inleracl with the bone. so that osteosarcoma cells remain alive,
and the effect of different therapies can be tested.
o Another project at Southampton University, with Belle as a PhD sludenl, is focused on the earfy
dele¢lion of osteosarcoma, which is $0 important, as we 8re only loo aware how quickly this cancer
can spread. The project has been using gome very advanced imaging techniques to look al the libres
which are present within osteosarcoma and healthy bone biopsi$s. Bell8 is looking al whether
differences in these bone fibres in diseased versus hfyalthy bone might be early indicators for
osteosarcoma and a measure of metastasis. Th&re have been some really good images and findings
so far and results of this project should be published soon.
And our PhD project with Manchester University, which started in October 2019, builds on the
success of an earlier two-year research grant funded by thg Charity. Friends of Rosie Children's
Can￿r Research Fund. In common with th& initial project, our project is being led by Dr Katherine
Finegan, MRPharmS with Alex, our PhD sludenl. Previous work performed in this lab has found that a
protein called ERK5 can promote the progression of osleosarcorna. 11 has also been found that high
levels ol the ERK5 prol8in can increase the chances of chemotherapy resistance and the spread of
osteosarcoma around the body. Therefore, higher levels of ERKS are linked to a reduced chance of
survival in patients. Initial evidence has found that. by removing ERKS, lumour cells and immune cells
a￿ no longer able lo communicate with each other. This is really positive data from this lab group as il
is the communication between the lumoui cells and the immune cells which allows the cancer to
spread around the body. It is currently unknown how this happens, bul rernoving ERK5 has shown to
slop the spread of cancer lo the lungs in models of the disease which have been used in the lab. 11 is
really important lo fully understand how this happens in order to effectively treat ostoosarcoma and to
develop this Irealmenl for patient use in the fLJtLJre. This project aims lo find out exacuy how ERK5
works in the progression of osteosarcoma and determine whether rernoving ERK5 can improvg th8
response lo chemotherapy. This is a promising new avenue for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
o In addition, we have a new fully funded PhD project with Kings College London. This is a Ihree-year
research project which is taking place under the expert guidance of Professor Agamemnon
Grigoriadis. The project is focusing on undersiandlng and preventing the growth of cancer cells In
osteosarcoma pationts, as well as looking lo slop the spread of cancer around the body. The abllily of
osle05arcom8 lo metastasise 15 what make5 11 so aggressive and therefore focusing the research on
this is really important. This project wi15 look al repurposing a preoxisting drLJg, which is currently used
lo treat neonatal jaundice, lo block the action of HO-1. HO-1 is a factor which is produced by
osleosar¢oma pabènts and prevents the aclivalion of the immune system. By 'kick-starting' th&
immune system into action, the project will assess if the chemotherapy drugs are able to fight the
cancer and slop il from moving lo other areas of the body.
o The Charity is currently in the pro¢ess of preparing for the invitation of further project funding
requests from the research community, with the aim of awarding more fully funded PhD projects.

o In addition. the trustees are excited lo confirm that the Charity will be working together with The
Bone Cancer Research Trust lo offer funding of up lo £250,0001£125,000 funded by each charilyl in
the 2024125 a¢ademic year lo support projects focused on improving c)ulcomes for osteosarcoma
patients. Trealmgnl for osleosar¢oma has not change(f for several decades and still relies on a
cocktail of loxlc ch&molh&rapies. New, targeted treatments, with less immediate and long-term effects
are desperately needed lo ensure more patients survivg and thrive aftar Irealmenl. Both charities are
commilled lo drive improvements through the funding of high impact, innovative and collaborative
research. Funding will be available to researchers andlor clinicians working in an academi¢ or clinical
institution in the UK, however, international collaboration will be encouraged where appropriate. 11 is
anli¢ipaled that Ihls collaboration will lead lo further research opportunities in future years.
In respect of Willberry's INishes, the Charity has a small team of volunteers dedicated to helping
organise and provide these eqLJeslrian-rttlated Wishes. Interest is growing and is expected to continue
lo do $0, as word has spread about how we can help seriously ill people during their darkest limes by
giving them experiences lo look forward lo, whilst making memories for all those involved. We share
details of some of the vital Wishes we grant, but other recipients understandably wish lo keep Ihem
private. We are immensely grateful for the continuad support of so many people and organisations In
the equaslrian world. as this is critical in supporting our ability to provide Willbery's Wishes.
WiSlberry's Wishes help5 so rnany people, not only the Wishee bLJt also their families, and we always
have a number of Wishes that we are working on. Willberry's Wishes is about making memories,
giving people things to look forward lo and lo forget what is happening lo them even rf it is just for a
little while. We hope to help lots of people by granling many more Willberry's Wishes.
Financial review
The following section on Financial Review and Future Developments constitutes the Strategic Report
for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 and the trustees ¢onfimi that they have cornplied with the
requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 201110 have due regard lo the public benefit guidance
published by the Charity Commission for England and Wa19S.
In ils sixth year of operation. the Charity generated a Ideficily surplus of1£5,8801 (previous year
£6,488), all of which were unreslricled funds.
The Charity's main source of finance is donations, with a Signifi￿nI contribution also being made from
thg trading subsidiary.
Reserves pollcy
The Trustges of the Charity havo rewewed the Charity's reserves policy in line with the existing
commitments and intended future comrnilmenls lo osteosarcoma ￿$￿arCh, Willberry's Wishes and
estimates of future adminislralion costs. Al 31 March 2023, reserves stood al £1,535,3571£1,541,237
in the previous yearl which was substantially more than the amount required to meet these
corllmilmenls. These funds are held in low-risk deposit accounts with various financial inslitulions.
As previously highlighted, the Charity has committed to date to expenditure on sgven osteosarcoma
rosoar¢h projects with a value of £579,608, of which £458,814 has been spent and the balance of
£120.794 is committed expenditure over the next 2 years.
The Charity is CLJrrently in the process of preparing for the invitation of applications for further project
funding requasts from the research communlty, wlth the aim of awarding more fully funded research
proj&cls. 11 is anliclpaled that there will be al least 1 new project costing approximately £90.000 lover
3 years) commilled lo in each of the next 5 years.

Financial Instruments
ObjeGtives and policies
The Charity's activities expose il lo a number of financial risks, principally liquidity. The Charlty does
not use derivative financial inslrumenls.
Llquldlly rlsk ond Interest rate$
The Charity's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash. trade and other receivables. and
investments.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivalivo financlal instruments is limited because the
counterparties are bank5 with high credil-ralings assigned by international credil-rating agencles. The
Charity has deliberately iaken a conservative approach lo investing its available funds durin9 the
financia1 year which, given the current inlemalional interest environment, has generated a low rate of
return, There is some residu81 risk lo the Charity should inlerest rates turn negative.
In order lo maintain liquidity lo ensure that sufficlenl funds are available for ongoing op8ralions and
future developments, the Charity has adoptgd a conservative reserves policy.

independent examination can provide. Consequently l express no opinion as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair, view and my report is limited to those specific matlers sel out in the
independent examiner's stalemenl.
