Objectives and Activities
The objects of the CIO are:
For the public benefit, the relief of those in need by reason of ill health or life limiting conditions (children up to 18 years of age). In particular, but not exclusively by; (a) the provision of grants and financial assistance, (b) by funding research and (c) by raising awareness.
Funds shall be allocated in accordance with the objects based on the need relating to each object and to ensure the effective operation of the charity as determined by the Trustees.

Relationships
During this financial year, referrals have come from the hospices we work closely with; Zoes Place Baby Hospice, Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, Shooting Star Children’s Hospice & Martin House Children’s Hospice.
In the next financial year, we need to focus on finding more effective ways of getting more grants out to families via our linked hospices.

Trustees’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales/Northern Ireland requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Maia Mouse Foundation Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Maia Mouse Foundation For the year ended to 5 April 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
