**The Steve Burne Charitable Trust**
## Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is a registered charity and is overseen by a Board of Trustees which meets at least three times a year. Trustees are appointed by resolution passed at a special meeting.
##
The charity was founded in 2018. The object of the charity is for such charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees may from time to time determine.
In planning and delivering the charitable aim, the Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance by the Charity Commission in delivering the activities undertaken by the Charity.
## Objectives and activities
The charity was founded by Stephen Burne in February 2018 and has general charitable purposes. The key aim of the Trust is to enable Stephen’s family and friends to keep his legacy alive by raising money and supporting the charities he held close to his heart.
These charities are mainly Ronald McDonald House Manchester and the Christie Hospital where Stephen was cared for so well during the whole time he was undergoing gruelling treatment. A local charity was also supported during 2024/2025 and this was Cash4Kids £1000.
During the year the charity gave out donations totalling £57,000.
## Financial Review
At the year end the charity had total funds of £45,649. During the year it received donations totalling £132,845 from organisations, individuals and fund-raising events. The Trustees would like to thank all those who have donated.
## Plans for the Future
It is hoped to hold another Golf Day during 2026 and a Ladies Lunch in May 2026. Other fundraising events will take place throughout the year but details of these are not yet confirmed.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
