Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 November 2025

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

1) The preservation and protection of health and the saving of lives by raising awareness of road safety and the consequences of road traffic collisions.

2) To provide relief to families living in West Yorkshire who have suffered the death of a dependent son/daughter (up to the age of 25 years) as a result of road traffic collision in particular through: (A) providing financial assistance to pay for funeral services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means, (B) providing practical advice and signposting to other relevant organisations for specialist support.

The charity's main activities

We deliver a powerful presentation in schools to raise awareness of the consequences of irresponsible driving to future and current drivers.

We provide emotional and financial support by way of a grant towards funeral costs for bereaved parents who lose a child up to the age of 25 on the roads of West Yorkshire.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education.

Achievements and performance

In the past year we have established links with West Yorkshire Police to raise awareness of our charity through the Force's Family Liaison Officers. We have also been able to increase the number of workshops we do and these are across the county; this should significantly increase our income.

Financial review

The net payments for the year were £4,923, all of which were unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £48,953.

The trustees have set aside reserves for unexpected incidents. As we help bereaved parents cover the cost of funerals in West Yorkshire it is unknown how many parents need support each year. If funds continue to increase above the current level we will expand our support across the whole of Yorkshire.This will be reviewed yearly.
