## **Our Mission**
1. To relieve the needs of families who have a child who is terminally ill with cancer, or are a bereaved family who have recently (in the last three years) lost their child to cancer, in particular by but not exclusively by the provision of short breaks and holidays;
2. To relieve sickness and promote and protect good health by raising awareness of and providing funding for research into the treatment of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and other terminal childhood brain tumours.
## **Our Story**
Eva’s Angels was formed in memory of five-year-old Eva Giles by Eva’s parents, Dean and Emma Giles on 4[th] June 2018. Eva tragically passed away on 7[th] April 2017 following a short illness with a rare paediatric brain tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). DIPG affects thirty to forty children in the UK every year, and is an illness desperately underfunded. Eva was offered palliative radiotherapy on the NHS, which temporarily shrinks the tumour and extended her life by a few months. Dean and Emma, desperate to save Eva’s life, contacted doctors all over the world trying to find a treatment or medical trial showing some signs of success. Unfortunately, DIPG still remains untreatable, and incurable. The pons is located above the brainstem in the centre of the brain, and the tumour wraps around healthy tissue cells making it impossible to remove. After diagnosis, children typically survive nine to twelve months, and the average age is five to ten years old. Eva died a year after diagnosis and Eva’s Angels was formed so that her spirit and memory live on.
## **Our Facilities**
Having been through this journey, we understand the importance of family support. We understand how utterly exhausting the fight against cancer becomes for the whole family.
The Eva’s Angels caravan is a six-berth, situated right by the beach on Seaview Holiday Park, Whitstable. It provides a place to simply enjoy each other’s company and live in the moment.

**EVA'S ANGELS**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Fundraising and Communications**
Eva’s Angels relies solely on fundraising and donations for the maintenance and running costs of the caravan.
2019 was our biggest year to date, in terms of achievement with fundraising and the number of families staying in the Eva’s Angels caravan. In 2019 we gave 39 families a holiday in the Eva’s Angels caravan, which was an increase of 25 families from the previous year. We took part in some major fundraising events, including the Brighton marathon and London marathon. These events are always very popular and we are able to get Eva’s Angels teams together, which can bring in a substantial amount of funds, as well as raising awareness with runners wearing branded Eva’s Angels t-shirts. We also organised two major events of our own, an Eva’s Angels 65-mile Ultra-Run which raised over £10,000, and an Eva’s Angels track day at the iconic Goodwood race track, which has now become an annual event which recently raised a massive £11,531.80.
We have seen a huge benefit from winning the award of ‘Kent Messenger Charity of the Year 2019’ and from the media partnership with the Kent Messenger group of newspapers. This has raised awareness of our events, and really boosted the profile of the charity within the local community. Eva’s Angels was also awarded the Kent Messenger ‘Charity Mark 2019’ in recognition of our work within the local community.
Recently, @evasangelscharity Instagram and Facebook accounts have grown to over 800 followers combined. This is an area that can always be worked on, as a very successful platform for free advertising. It has also recently become a platform for fundraising, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Supporters can now create fundraising events on Facebook, and all donations are paid directly to Eva’s Angels via PayPal. We have also introduced a ‘donate’ button on our Facebook page. It is a great way to spread awareness, and we are able to post testimonials from the families, using their permission. We continue to receive very positive feedback from our families, which is very important to us, and for our supporters.
As the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Eva’s Angels, like so many other charities, found the majority of funding decreased overnight. All sporting events were cancelled, so this affected all fundraising efforts, and were unable to receive grants such as the Tesco ‘Blue Token Scheme Grant’. Despite the lack of fundraising this year the support from corporate companies increased, and has been hugely appreciated. Eva’s Angels has been very fortunate to receive over £9000 in corporate donations from the following companies: -
- Jupiter Asset Management
- Prestbury Investments
- Tesco (following the cancellation of the ‘Blue Token Scheme’)
- My Spa UK Ltd.
- Phoenix Photonics
We also had to become very creative with our fundraising during lockdown. By launching a text message service this allows supporters to donate £5 by texting ANGEL to 70143. By launching a campaign on ‘World Cancer Day’ on 4th February this raised some vital funds. Eva’s Angels is now also a nominated charity on Amazon Smile, and we will regularly post on social media to remind supporters that this is a very simple and cost-effective way to raise money for us. We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and creativity that fundraisers have put into supporting Eva’s Angels this year during lockdown. Here are a few examples: -
- Khickster Parties – offering virtual children’s parties. Khickster Parties donated a percentage of their sales, and allowed people to donate to Eva’s Angels via their website.
- 2.6 challenge to take place instead of London Marathon, to ‘save the UK’s charities.’ People took part in sporting events based around the number 26, to represent the number of miles in the London marathon.
- 40th Birthday Lockdown celebrations – fitness challenges based around the number 40 hosted by Laura Davis.
- Swannsnest Cygnini – virtual ‘angel’ making craft event via Zoom, with the proceeds donated to Eva’s Angels.
- ‘Tori’s Cakes’ Christmas cake raffle with proceeds going to Eva’s Angels.
- ‘Can’t Stop Quilting’ exhibition, hosted by Terri who donated all money raised on the evening to Eva’s Angels.
- • Online sale of personalised canvas prints organised by Sean Davis at CreativeFX, which was launched during the Christmas period and continues to run due to its popularity.
- 12 mile walk in memory of Eva and Trevor Hulett (Eva’s Angels trustee and Eva’s Grandad).
Eva’s Angels merchandise continues to be on sale via the website, and now offers branded facemasks, alongside branded masks, bags and water bottles.

## **Fundraising and Communications (continued)**
Despite having to close in March 2020, due to lockdown, Seaview holiday park was able to safely open its doors again in July. Whilst adhering to strict Covid cleaning guidelines issued by the government, and leaving the caravan empty for 72-hours between each family, we were able to give 7 families a much-needed break. We continue to receive lovely, positive feedback from each family, and take pride in the small difference we are making to their lives.
_“Thank you for everything…”_

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Our Future Plans**
- Purchase a second Eva’s Angels holiday home (unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed this, but we are once again back on target to purchase the second caravan in September 2021);
- Continue to work with hospitals and cancer charities;
- Expand the number of local attractions tickets to families staying in the caravan;
- Expand the online Eva’s Angels branded merchandise range;
- Continued online presence via @evasangelscharity on Instagram and Facebook. Link Twitter account to website.
## **Risk Assessment and Management**
The Board of Trustees holds overall responsibility for Risk Management for the Charity, and reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Consequently, where appropriate, systems and procedures will be established to manage the risks that the Charity faces, as it continues to grow.
Face to face meetings are held with Trustees, and regular participation in meeting by electronic means. Major risks are discussed in meetings, alongside fundraising opportunities, marketing, and the general effectiveness of running the charity.
Currently, Eva’s Angels is run on a daily basis by Emma Giles (Eva’s mum, and co-founder of Eva’s Angels) alongside Trustees’ Dean Giles (Eva’s dad, and co-founder of Eva’s Angels), Ian Giles, Richard Callanan and our newly appointed trustee Kate Wiggins. All trustees bring a set of unique skills, and business experience. New trustees are appointed on the basis they have volunteered for the charity, or have shown considerable commitment and dedication to the cause. Kate Wiggins, is our newest member of the team. Kate has run her own business for many years, and is a key figure in the local community. She has previously held fundraising events for Eva’s Angels, and will be a huge asset in the growth of the charity.
The board of Trustees considers time restraints to be one of the main risks to the charity’s growth, with all of the trustees having full time employment elsewhere. To date this has worked well with the co-founders managing the bulk of the work, however, the workload will increase with the purchase of the second caravan, and the increase in the number of family referrals. With the expansion of Eva’s Angels this will also put considerable pressure onto fundraising so that we are able to effectively maintain two holiday homes. Staffing levels and fundraising will be the two key areas that are constantly monitored by the Board of Trustees.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Board of Trustees has examined the Charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks facing the Charity. The Charity’s reserve policy is such that the Charity should hold a minimum free reserve of equal to 3 months operating expenditure. This would equate to a minimum free reserves’ amount of £7,000 held by the Charity at any time.
This is particularly important in the current Covid-19 pandemic when fundraising is an issue.
In terms of large-scale specific expenditure (e.g. A second caravan), separate specific reserves will be held, which will accrue until the required amount has built up for the project. No free reserves will be used for this purpose.
## **Trustee Statement**
The Charities Act 2011 requires Trustees to prepare accounts 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that year.
In preparing these accounts the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies, and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Trustee Statement (continued)**
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

## **CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS' INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF EVA’S ANGELS**
We report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
