The Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and comply with Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). ## **Reference and Administrative Information** Charity Name: Eva’s Angels Charity Registration Number: 1178612 Registered Office and 54 Beacon Hill Operational address: Herne Bay Kent CT6 6JN ## **Trustees** Mr Dean Giles Mr Richard Callanan Mrs Kate Wiggins ## **Charity Office** Mrs Emma Giles ## **Independent Examiners** Hilary Adams Ltd, Chartered Accountants & Tax Consultants 158 High Street Herne Bay KENT CT6 5NP ## **Bank** Lloyds Bank 120 Lewisham High Street London SE13 6JG Page 1 **EVA'S ANGELS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **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 Charity operates a six-berth holiday caravan located on Seaview Holiday Park in Whitstable, with easy access to the sea and space for families to relax and spend meaningful time together away from the pressures of treatment or bereavement. Page 2 **EVA'S ANGELS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **Our Facilities (continued)** During 2024/25, the caravan was upgraded to provide: - Three double bedrooms - Two bathrooms - A private parking space - Improved accessibility including space for a child-sized wheelchair ## **Fundraising and Communications** Eva’s Angels relies entirely on fundraising, grants, and donations to maintain and operate the caravan and deliver its charitable objects. As fundraising activity continued to recover following the impact of COVID-19, 2024/25 saw a significant increase in referrals from hospitals and partner organisations, including. This year we have been working closely with: - Young Lives vs Cancer (Royal Marsden, Sutton) - Abby’s Heroes - Young Lives vs Cancer (GOSH) - Noah’s Ark Hospice - Great Ormond Street Hospital Due to increased demand, the Charity now accepts referrals via health professionals or social workers rather than self-referrals. ## **Corporate and Community Support** We continue to be extremely grateful for the dedicated support from local businesses and community fundraisers. Phoenix Photonics again provided a £2,000 donation at Christmas, which continues to play an important role in sustaining our services. Supporters also took part in a range of fundraising events, including: - Eleven runners in the Brighton Marathon - Eva’s Angels Track Day at Goodwood Race Track - Leeds Ironman - London Marathon - London Landmarks Half Marathon - Race Across Scotland ## **Holiday Provision** 2024/25 was one of our busiest years to date, with 22 families benefiting from respite breaks. Feedback from families continues to reinforce the value of these stays: “Just wanted to say thank you so much for the amazing stay at Eva’s caravan. We absolutely loved the location and had a really lovely time. Thanks again for your kind generosity.” Eva, September 2024 “Thanks for a nice few days away in Eva’s caravan, it’s been nice to be away from everyone and everything…” Sarah, July 2024 Page 3 ## **EVA'S ANGELS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **Our Future Plans** - Over the coming year, the Charity aims to: - Strengthen partnerships with hospitals and cancer charities - Increase the availability of local attraction tickets for visiting families - Expand the Eva’s Angels branded merchandise range - Enhance online presence via Instagram and Facebook (@evasangelscharity) - Collaborate with The Brain Tumour Charity on potential funding for new clinical trials in paediatric brain - tumours, including DMG ## **Risk Assessment and Management** The Trustees review major risks on an ongoing basis. The principal risks identified include: - Rising operational costs, including ground rent, utilities, and general maintenance of the holiday home - A challenging fundraising environment, with lower donation levels and increased competition for grants - Time constraints, as all trustees maintain full-time employment alongside their voluntary roles Mitigation measures include strengthening fundraising planning, exploring new income streams, increasing partnership working, and appointing an additional trustee in 2025. 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 is held with Trustees annually, 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 daily 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), Richard Callanan and 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. Eva’s Angels will be focusing on recruiting a new trustee in 2025 to replace Ian Giles. ## **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.
