## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **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 4th June 2018. Eva tragically passed away on 7th 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 itself 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 lives 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.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **Fundraising and Communications**
We are only just recovering from the effects of Covid, both with the number of bookings into the caravan and fundraising events. Summer of 2021 we were still very restricted on the number of families we could let into the caravan, whilst keeping each family safe and the caravan. We had a total of 22 families staying in the caravan. This was slightly down on last year, but we were restricting numbers to allow safe and thorough cleaning of the caravan. We are so pleased to be able to offer a much-needed holiday to all of these families, and have already seen an increase in bookings for 2022 with families booking space much further in advance.
The awareness of Eva’s Angels charity continues to grow. The benefit from winning the award of ‘Kent Messenger Charity of the Year 2019’ really boosted the charity within the local community, and we regularly see growth in our social media pages. Instagram and Facebook provide very effective free marketing tools, and for connecting with supporters and funders. 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.
We work regularly with the ‘Clic Sargent’ team at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, who refer families to us. We have seen a huge increase this year in the number of families referred via the ‘Young Lives Vs Cancer’ team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Eva’s Angels has recently been included in the ‘Charitable Holiday Provider Document’ for bereaved families.
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 in previous years though we have seen an increase in fundraising this year, from a combination of larger events taking place again, and smaller, individual fundraising events taking place. Although we’re not quite up to where we were in 2019, it has been great to be involved in so many events again: -
- Saxon Shore Relay – we were delighted to be selected as the chosen charity for 2021. We put a team together to run the event dressed up as angels, and the event organisers donated £1,200 to Eva’s Angels;
- Local company Phoenix Photonics donated £2,500;
- We had participants in the London Duathlon, Great North Run, Outlaw X 70.3 triathlon relay, and Brighton Marathon, which raised £3,403;
- Herne Bay and Whitstable Ladies’ Darts Team raised a total of £550 – we were lucky enough to be invited down to hand out the winning trophies and talk about the charity;
- We were lucky enough to run our annual Eva’s Angels track day at Goodwood Race Track, which always proves to be a really successful event raising over £11,000 this year.
## **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 2022);
- 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;
- Continue to raise funds to support clinical trials and research into DIPG, and paediatric brain tumours. 2022 will be a key year into our partnership with Abbie’s Army, alongside other parent-led charities, who are co-funding a Car T-Cell Therapy Clinical Trial starting at Great Ormond Street in September 2022.
## **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 _._

**EVA'S ANGELS**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **Risk Assessment and Management (continued)**
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 following the Covid-19 pandemic when fundraising still remains 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.
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 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
## **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.
