## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **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 2023**
## **Fundraising and Communications**
Eva’s Angels relies solely on fundraising and donations for the maintenance and running costs of the caravan.
Following the effects of Covid lockdown and how it impacted on our fundraising opportunities, and the number of holidays we were able to offer, 2022 saw the return of events and an increase in the number of referrals to the Eva’s Angels caravan. We are now also working very closely with the Young Lives Vs Cancer teams at Royal Marsden, Great Ormond Street and Kings College. To date we have now had 121 families to stay in the Eva’s Angels caravan. This is a huge achievement for us, and we will continue to work closely with the hospitals to offer as many respite breaks to families as we can.
This year we focused some of our fundraising efforts on restricted funding for a new co-founded Clinical Trial called CARMIGO, which will recruit newly diagnosed DIPG patients in September. Working with The Brain Tumour Charity, Abbie’s Army, The Azaylia Foundation and other parent led charities, and raised £10,000 to part fund this trial.
## _“Thank you for everything…”_
Other fundraising events included: -
- Goodwood Track Day – A huge thank you once again to Creative FX and Lusso Prestige for organising the annual Eva’s Angels track day in April;
- Brighton Marathon – this year we had 2 Eva’s Angels runners;
- Whitstable 10K;
- Saxon Shore Relay – a team of 4 runners who proudly represented Eva’s Angels in June;
- Eva’s Angels Ultra Marathon – a gruelling 50 mile run along the coast via Sandwich, Margate and Reculver towers back to home.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Our Future Plans**
- Purchase a second Eva’s Angels holiday home or bigger home in 2024;
- 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 with caps, running tops, cycle tops and branded hoodies;
- 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.
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.
