TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Achievements and performance

Charitable activities

Having obtained Charity registration, in January 2019, the Foundation was formally launched at the Annual Convention of Lions Clubs International in the British Isles held in Swansea in May 2019.

A five-year programme was approved by the Trustees to raise £1 Million, year three of that programme started on 1st July 2021 and ran to 30th June 2022.

On the 26th July 2019 The Trustees entered into a Partnership Agreement between Lions Clubs International of the British Isles and Brain Tumour Research, acknowledging that Brain Tumours are indiscriminate. What's more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Together, we are determined to change this through a partnership to positively impact and improve the lives of children affected by brain tumours.

Following its discovery in late 2019 as a new strain of coronavirus disease, COVID-19 developed into a worldwide pandemic resulting in severe restrictions on social interactions being imposed by authorities around the world. These restrictions have resulted in a significant reduction in economic activity.

The changes that were implemented, because of the coronavirus threat, led to the closing down of many parts of society; Lions Clubs and individual members were not immune from these changes.

Achievement and performance was severely blunted over the period from March 2020 to September 2021 due to the effects of the Covid pandemic and legislation that resulted in severe restrictions on social interactions. We are indebted to those Lions Clubs and individuals who continued to support the Appeal in the most trying of times, however, income generated and received has been well short of expectations, as a direct consequence.

The period under review saw a very slow, gradual, easing of restrictions, however, we did not see a return to precovid levels of interaction and believe that this is still some way off.

The trustees are pleased to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of those individuals who have worked to bring us to this point. We are very much aware; from the stories we have been told by Lions from across the British Isles that, every day, lives are being devastated and many people are living without hope.

We are determined to contribute to changing this: we have accepted the challenge, though do not underestimate its magnitude in the post Covid-19 world.

Fundraising activities

Recent years have been challenging for the entire charity sector, with ongoing austerity, wider financial uncertainty, increased media scrutiny, new regulations and high-profile allegations of misconduct. We want to be a leader in good fundraising practice, ensuring our supporters are treated fairly and with respect.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Financial review

The finances of the trust operated on a sound basis through previously established bank accounts. Income and donations, in the second year of operations, totalled £59,593.

During the year, the trust maintained a tight control over its cashflow and projected expenditure. The Trustees are acutely aware of the financial risks and review the cash flow at least monthly.

At the year end the reserves consisted of restricted funds totalling £28,547 and unrestricted general fund of £12,141

.

Reserves policy

The Trustees are required to set a policy regarding the reserves requirements in order to help ensure sustainability of the charity in the event that income decreases, to ensure that costs can continue to be met and the charity continue with its day-to-day activities with limited disruption. The Trustees would endeavour to maintain 3 - 6 months' worth of running costs within general funds, however, the first three years operations cannot be considered ‘typical’ years, the level of ongoing costs required needs to be established. Once this level is set the Trustees will endeavour to set reserves at this amount, after accounting for restricted funds held and anything above this level can then be paid out as grants, unless ringfenced for other purposes.

Plans for future periods

As noted above the charity will continue with it's five year programme.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mr P N Burnett

Mr G M A Leeder Ms L C Picton (Resigned 2 November 2022) Mr P C Nathan MBE Mr G P Goodier Mr D J Reynolds Mr N P Martin (Appointed 1 July 2021)

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

1.1 Apart from the first charity trustees, every appointed trustee will be appointed for a term not exceeding four years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.

1.2 In selecting individuals for appointment as appointed charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

1.3 Before appointing any trustees, the charity trustees for the time being must obtain the prior written approval to the proposed appointments from the Council Chairman (or the person acting as Council Chairman for the time being).

LCI MD105 BRAIN TUMOUR & PAEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Decision making

The Trustees will seek to develop a professional, well managed and proactive charity in line with good business practice.

Trustees oversee governance, agree strategy and the direction of the Charity, they approve financial accounts, budgets and reserves and approve research grants and risk management policies.

The Trustees actively review the major risks that the Foundation faces and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees examine operational and business risks faced by the Foundation and confirm that these are kept under regular review.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
