|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|**Our purpose is to relieve the needs of children**<br>**suffering from childhood cancers and histiocytosis**<br>**and support these children through the provision of**<br>**gifts and activities to enhance their physical,**<br>**emotional and psychological health, ease suffering**<br>**and provide comfort.**<br>**We also raise awareness about childhood cancer, in**<br>**particular histiocytosis, and provide support and**<br>**information to families.**|

We have however continued with**<br>**research and preparation of our next gifting**<br>**projects. Our Super Gift boxes have continued to be**<br>**delivered to children throughout the UK in new**<br>**bespoke gift boxes. This has brought a lot of**<br>**comfort and positivity to families with children**<br>**affected by cancer. We have also promoted our soft**<br>**toy project and created all the merchandise and**<br>**design elements for our ‘anti anxiety’ gifting**<br>**scheme. With feedback from the cancer ward at**<br>**Leicester Royal Infirmary and their play team we**<br>**have agreed on how and when to implement this**<br>**scheme to offer maximum support to the children.**<br>**The feedback has been fantastic with other areas of**<br>**the children’s hospital wanting to get involved. This**<br>**is something we will think about in future and**<br>**whether we aim our gifts to children's hospitals in**<br>**general.**<br>**We have continued to raise awareness by sharing**<br>**our personal story about histiocytosis.**|
