GIDDO'S GIFT

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] JANUARY 2025

About Us

Giddo’s Gift is a small charity for teenagers and young adults suffering with Cancer within North Wales and Northwest England (age range 13 - 24 years, at diagnosis.)

Our aim is to bring a smile to their faces as they battle horrendous treatment regimes. The Charity was set up as a legacy in memory of Jordan Giddins whose smile would light up a room. Jordan always loved to give gifts and his nickname was Giddo, so Giddo’s Gift is a fitting legacy to the bravest, kindest young person you could ever meet.

Our Aims

We offer bereavement grants to families in the devastating event of a young person’s death to aid with funeral expenses. Also providing memory boxes, memory books and support to bereaved families. We aim to draw on experience and help young people and their families at the most difficult time in their lives.

We receive all of our applications from Social Workers or Support workers. They discuss with the young person what they would like such as a gift, grant or wish and the social worker completes our application form alongside the young person. Once we receive an application our trustees discuss each one on an individual basis, deciding if all criteria are met and whether the grant is to be awarded. It is discussed, taking into consideration our financial resources, how much can be awarded to individuals and how much is to be gifted to charities to aid research.

Families contact us direct to book a short break in the Caravan. We discuss all the information and dates required. We ask if they are happy for us to share photos and their personal journey with our supporters.

The Charity aims to provide yearly financial grants to Sarcoma U.K Research & Bone Cancer Research Trust and Histiocytosis U.K. These grants go towards research projects looking directly at advancing treatments for future patients. These diseases are under-funded with treatment regimes decades old. Jordan was diagnosed with both diseases therefore we chose these to support.

Sarcoma U.K Research & Bone Cancer Research Trust: both Charities fund pioneering research into all forms of primary bone cancer and Sarcomas. They offer support and information for patients of all ages whilst raising national and international awareness of the disease.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] JANUARY 2025

GIDDO'S GIFT

Histiocytosis U.K/Research Trust: Histiocystosis is too rare a disease to have generated substantial research in medical circles. Histiocytosis U.K is dedicated to promoting and funding scientific research into uncovering not only the causes of all histiocytic diseases but also ensuring early diagnosis, effective treatment, and a cure.

Achievements of 2024

What a start to 2024-! Our founder and Jordans mum, Mandy, was honoured in the Kings New year’s honours list receiving the British Empire Medal for services in the Voluntary and Charitable Services to young people with Cancer. Mandy along with her husband went along to Buckingham Palace to the Garden party. Although the weather was not favourable it was a fantastic experience and a testament to how much has been achieved in Jordans memory. They were also invited, along with close family, friends and trustees to meet with The Lord Lieutenant of Clwyd, whereby he presented her with the medal on behalf of the King!

The next big achievement of 2024 was securing of funding and employing our first employee. From a very generous donation in memory of a young local mum who we had supported we decided to employ a Charity Community Co Ordinator. We interviewed and employed Beth Hughes in April 2024. We then secured funding for her role from The Postcode Lottery. This has been a huge step forward for the charity as Beth has many skills, she is employed for 15hours per week. She has taken over coordination of Giddos Gaff bookings, Gift and wish applications along with updating our webpage, social media and the day to day running of the charity. This has allowed Mandy, the founder, to be freed up to work on funding bids and strategic planning. More information on our achievements for the 2024-2025 year can be found in our newsletter which can be downloaded online.

Gifts Grants and wishes 2024

During the course of the year we completed 80 gifts, grants and wishes which totalled £25,750 Our highest total per year. Due to less fundraising income, we became more aware of how much was being spent on gifts and wishes. Average spent this year was £320 per application. Here are some of the applications that were completed:

Testimonials from Gifts / Wishes 2024

* is so pleased to have received his gift of an LG 43 inch Smart TV for his bedroom. He is currently having treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia which is making him so tired and nauseous. He has spent a lot of time in bed since being diagnosed in February this year. Ben arrived home last night following a hospital stay and was thrilled to see the TV that had been delivered that morning from Giddo's Gift. Dad has put it up on the wall and is able to watch a film while he recovers from his last dose of chemo. He is very grateful and would like to say "Thank you very much, the gift will make a huge difference to me on days when I feel terrible! xx" May 2024*

We are so grateful for this donation. Gaming is everything to him. This email cheered us up after another problem at hospital today Once again thank you. May 2024

During the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 social workers expressed a need for cost-ofliving support to help with daily expenses, travel to hospital and loss of earnings. We secured a grant from Arnold Clarke for £1,000 to help with these applications. 8 cost of living grants were awarded totalling £1650 within a four-week period. Criteria was set to ensure the applicant had been hospitalised for 7 days or more. All applications came from the child’s social/support worker. Every social worker agreed this was a valuable resource as families struggle so much whilst their child is hospitalised not only with extra travel and food expenses but with loss of earnings. We are unable to offer this on a long-term basis due to lack of charity funds despite there being an increasing need.

Bereavement Grants 2024

During 2024 we supported 8 families who suffered the devastating loss of their child. Financial grants along with personalised memory boxes and supporting information were provided to them. 1 family who lost their 23year old son suddenly from the disease HLH, that Jordan was diagnosed with, have gone on and raised thousands of pounds for the charity after our support.

Funding To Research

Giddo’s Gaff 2024

Testimonials from families who stayed at Giddos Gaff 2024

We absolutely loved our weekend away in the caravan. After so much time in hospital with Molly, it was nice to spend time as a family with her older sisters. To have them all laughing and playing together, making happy memories is something I'll cherish forever. The caravan was beautiful and * loved the characters and being able to run free. Thank you so much for allowing us to have this holiday. *May 2024

We loved the holiday and making memories with the boys after * journey after his stem cell transplant in Feb 2023. It's nice to be able to enjoy outdoors and seeing him have the energy to run around and play with his brothers which he couldn't do. We are so grateful for the opportunity, thank you. July 2024**

Oh my gosh Giddos gaff is beautiful, your family has done such a good job with it, so cosy and homely. We had the best time. We made so many lovely memories and want to thank you so much. *had a stable scan not long before we went so it was beautiful to let our hair down and breathe in some fresh air. He loved going on the beach at night and we went swimming everyday. It’s the perfect spot. Forever grateful for that opportunity. Thank you all. *Sept 2024

Gift Campaigns

Although throughout the year it has been more difficult to fundraise, our campaigns do extremely well. 2024 saw many businesses get involved with our Easter campaign and Christmas gift campaign, over 1,300 easter eggs were donated. This enabled us to make up gift hampers of eggs for all those we support along with hundreds of eggs and treats being delivered to all hospitals, social workers, and hospices. All our ambassadors got involved and delivered the eggs to the hospitals.

The Christmas gift appeal was just as successful. Again, this year we contacted all social workers and hospitals we support obtaining names and ages of all those children and young people on treatment for a cancer diagnosis. With help from M&S bank volunteers we put together gift bags for over 101 children and young people. All were delivered in time for Christmas. Also, the clothing company RMDY supported our campaign again by donating hoodies, t-shirts and hats along with our gift bags. James the CEO of RMDY has supported the charity many times and we are so grateful for all his help.

2024 saw the most successful Easter and Christmas campaigns to date. We also had money donated to buy Easter Eggs and Christmas gifts, along with a grant from Toyota to support our Christmas Campaign. The extra finances allowed us to buy Christmas gift bags with our logo on along with extra gifts for those in hospital.

Volunteers

Giddo’s Gift has many volunteers, mainly family and friends. We have a list of our volunteers who are eager to help during events. It would not be possible to carry out our purpose without their support. We welcome members of the public who are inspired by Jordan’s story and legacy to come and join us and help make a difference to young people with Cancer.

GIDDO'S GIFT

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] JANUARY 2025

Trustees have previously undertaken all activities along with strategic planning and implementation.

We have received a lot of positive feedback from the public as to how well run and friendly our events are. We pride ourselves on how many families and friends are involved with Jordan’s Charity.

Young Ambassadors

During 2024, two of our young ambassadors stepped down as they could not commit the time they wanted to the charity, Tom McAlea and Ben Laughton. Luckily 2 of Jordans best friends who had always helped the charity were happy to become Ambassadors- Brady McGilloway and Alex Goundrey. We have the support of these young ambassadors to promote the Charity, organise their own events, help with fundraising and support the work of the Trustees.

Our ambassadors are: Kyle Mills, Ieuan Rowe, Ellie Von Borstal, Tom Collins, Tom Bibby, Katie Morris, Alex Thomas, Alex Goundrey and Brady McGilloway.

Importance of Good Communication, Information Sharing and Transparency

We have Regular Trustees Governance and Strategy meetings, as well as Team Meetings. In 2024 we invited all our ambassadors to at least 4 meetings, as well as the AGM, throughout the year. We also had informal meetings to catch up and see if anyone needed help with anything. Separate Ambassador meetings were also held, as needed, to discuss fundraising.

All grants, gift and wishes awarded and Fundraisers are highlighted on social media platforms. These live feed onto Giddo’s Gift website. Since our charity coordinator has been in post, she has put together reels for social media along with many updates and posts. Tik Tok is a platform we hope to use more in the future to highlight the charity’s profile. We have received excellent feedback regarding information on the webpage.

Ticket and merchandise sales can be accessed via the Webpage which is a great asset. The charity Co Ordinator, Beth, has improved the webpage and keeps it updated. Tickets and merchandise can be purchased on the webpage along with all the challenges we have available. She has also improved our service user feedback by putting together a feedback form via our webpage.

We have close links with Specialist Nurses and Social Workers in all areas of Northwest England and North Wales.

Events 2024

Each year it is difficult to think of new events that will be well attended. We had arranged a music through the decades event March 2024 but due to lack of ticket sales we had to cancel. As the years have passed it appears our supporters enjoy challenges and getting involved with campaigns. Jan/ Feb we always have a virtual challenge. Our supporters enjoy getting involved and getting active after the Christmas period.

GIDDO'S GIFT

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] JANUARY 2025

As well as our fundraising events year on year we are overwhelmed by how many people help the charity and take on their own personal challenges:

September 2024 Go Gold for Childhood Cancer

2024 saw us honour over 100 beautiful angels with our awareness campaign. We placed heartfelt messages and photos outside the big church in Flint and along the suspension bridge in Chester. Each year there are more and more children and young

people taken from their families by Childhood Cancer.

We now have 11 Gold Bikes and 3 Gold scooters. Each of these are dedicated to an angel taken far too soon by such a brutal disease. They signify lost childhoods. Unfortunately, 2 of our gold scooters were removed from where we had placed them and left in around the town. This is upsetting as they are well secured and not usable. This will not deter us from continuing our awareness campaign.

Longer term Goals

Reserves Policy for 2025

We held funds in reserve for the following reasons:

We have put funds in reserve to cover all costs for 6 months. This will cover grants, gifts, wishes and financial aid so we will not have to refuse any applications.

Our yearly ground rent and utilities for Giddos Gaff, our caravan in Porthmadog is over £12,000 per year therefore we need at least 1 year’s costs for this in reserve.

Giddo’s Gift aims to help every child and family who applies to us for support.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] JANUARY 2025

Structure, Governance and Management

Giddos Gift complies with the governing document that is its Constitution which is on the Charity Commission Website and our Website. This sets out our purpose, structure and describes how we operate. At our AGM we form our governance, operational and financial strategies for the coming year.

The Charity is run by our group of trustees.

Trustee recruitment and appointment

Trustee recruitment is open for discussion at any point as we are aware that diversity and using a variety of skills and experiences will increase the charity’s performance. We are aware currently that we only have 4 trustees. Ideally, we would like to extend the board to at least 5, however it is a large commitment for people to make. We all realise that the workload and commitment needed for Giddos Gift to continue to thrive means that new trustee appointment is needed urgently. All the trustees have taken on extra responsibility and have committed more volunteer hours each week, this ensures the charity is able to continue the same level of help and support that we have always given to those in need. The charity community co-ordinator role has been a huge bonus for us all. We are currently working closely with Flintshire Volunteers to aid us in recruitment.

Trustees- Amanda Giddins, Joanne Heppleston, Bethany Giddins, Stephanie Rowe.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GIDDO'S GIFT

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Giddo's Gift (the charity) for the year ended 31 January 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025

1 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

2 Accounting policies

2.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

2.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

2.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

GIDDO'S GIFT

17

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025

2 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

Giddo's Gaff 20% Straight Line Computers 33% Straight Line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

2.6 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

2.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

2.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025

2 Accounting policies (Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
