Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Our purpose is to relieve the needs of children suffering from childhood cancers and histiocytosis and support parents/carers of these children through the provision of gifts and activities to enhance their physical, emotional and psychological health, ease suffering and provide comfort. We also raise awareness about childhood cancer, in particular histiocytosis, and provide support and information to families. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We have continued to raise awareness about the charity and our story through the creation of charity pins and sharing our story with other families affected by cancer and histiocytosis. We also started our new soft toy gifting project to aid emotional anxiety of children in hospital and are working on launching these to several UK hospitals. So far a trial at Leicester Royal Infirmary on the cancer ward is providing us positive feedback from families who receive the soft toy and how it helps their child during treatment. Our Super Gift project was popular this year and so we have been able to donate these throughout the UK on |
request via our website which was updated to facilitate gift requests. We also continued to promote awareness and information regarding histiocytosis and cancer via social media to reach a wider audience and also gain more interest in our charity work and further donations via Facebook and Instagram. Statement confirming Para 1.18 All the trustees have reviewed the whether the trustees have guidance, and this has been considered had regard to the guidance when planning the charity’s work for the issued by the Charity year ahead.

Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We have been able to reach many families throughout the UK via our unique gifting schemes for children with cancer and histiocystosis and we are very pleased with the feedback received from these families regarding how much it helped their child. Our Super Gift has proven to be very successful in aiding the mental and emotional side for children undergoing treatment, allowing them to feel brave and special for their strength and courage. Parents have also commented on how wonderful it was to receive the gift in the post and what a positive message it sent. Our continued links with the play specialists at Leicester Royal Infirmary has widened our reach also to help children on the ward and also implement our new soft toy to aid anxiety during treatment and hospital visits. Feedback has been very encouraging as to how the soft toy can be used by play specialist during invasive procedures and prolonged time spent in hospital. This is something very valuable and an area in which we feel we can bring some great initiatives. We hope to launch this project next year. We have donated hundreds of toys to the childrens cancer ward and liase regularly with the play specialists to see how we can help. These toys have all been essential in ensuring the children stay positive and emotionally well, and have been a great resource in the hospital play rooms. We are looking to link with further childrens charities including helping the play team at Addenbrookes hospital. |

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Para 1.41 Unfortunately fundraising has been limited this year due to lack of uptake on marathon places, with people still not keen on large scale events after the pandemic. We have relied on donations via social media and online platforms. Investment performance against objectives Para 1.41 Other |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | We spent more than we fundraised this year so there is a deficit this year financially. Mainly due to the need for buying charity places in marathons which were not taken up, as well as creation of gifting projects and stock for this. Unfortunately few people made donations despite promoting our work and even fewer wanted to take part in events or marathons following the pandemic. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | We have a reserves policy in place to cover day to day running costs, admin and website as well as enough to be able to provide our gifts and toy donations to the cancer ward as needed annually. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £1000 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |

| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | The trustees feel that the lack of people wanting to fundraise or hold events has limited our goals. We will review this again next year and depending on the charity funds on account we will assess whether or not to continue the charity work. |

Para 1.46 |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | We have been limited this year following the Covid pandemic meaning fewer events and fewer people fundraising or donating. This is an ongoing issue with regards to face to face events and has also limited our impact directly on the hospital wards due to non-contact and being unable to provide our gifts or services to the children due to the infection risk posed. We have planned projects which require no face to face contact and gifts which can be requested online or via QR codes in the hospital which we hope will help. |
