Total grants issued to families this year is £15,150.00 This was a great achievement given the current financial situation and charitable giving being less than usual. We have had some really good feedback and testimonials which we post with permission on our web page. We continue to cover Birmingham hospitals, Nottingham University Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary and Addenbrooks, we cover the East and West Midlands, and parts of East Anglia. Although the families can reside anywhere in the country, a lot travel a long way to reach these specialist hospitals which strains family finances so we are happy to be able to assist the families that need support. We have also increased our social media followers again and Laura Crofts continues to work hard to engage our followers on all platforms. Wayne Berridge has completed his level 4 in counselling and is currently organising his 100hrs clinical practice. Fundraising achievements We were very grateful to receive support from Nottingham Masonic Charity Association for a grant of £2250 to be made available in the form of grants to families being treated at specialist hospitals. Dr Paul Thornton-Bott stepped in when funds were low with a sizable donation which was hugely appreciated and ensured our grant scheme was kept open to families in need. Both Patron's have continued in tireless support of the charity and we are continuing to grow and looking forward to the coming year and we already have many more events planned. **TAR** March **2012** 4 Section D Achievements and erformance p **TAR** March **2012** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Reserves stay in the account until a grant request come in, we advise our hospital representatives of the funds available to keep grants coming in.

Fundraising We were very grateful to receive support from Nottingham Masonic Charity Association for a grant of £2250 to be made available in the form of grants to families being treated at the LRI. The Brigstock bring and buy stall run by Patron Jane Steward has continued to be a huge help to us. Our Psychic Night hosted by Patron Yvonne Fielding continues to be a great fundraiser and funds from raffles are much appreciated. Craft Fairs are attended when invited or where possible. Expenditure Expenditure is kept to a minimum to ensure maximum funds available for grants. The expenditure on web domains enables us to utilise social media platforms and just giving campaigns on our web site. We can also keep supporters up to date with how the money we raise is used. We can inform on the support we offer and also raise awareness of childrens cancer issues for families. We also share posts of other charities to promote giving to good causes. ## **Section F Other optional information** We are a small Charity hoping to grow over the next few years so we can help more families in need. And offer larger grants. Through our own experience we are aware of the strains and financial pressures of having a child/young person in long term hospital care, and the impact this has on the whole family. We aim to help as many families as we can. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** Wayne Berridge **Signature(s)** Susan Crofts Wayne Berridge **Full name(s)** Susan Crofts **TAR** March **2012** 6 **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Co-Founder, Co-ordinator, **etc)** Treasurer, Grants Officer **Date** 22/08/2024 Co Founder – Level 4 Student Counsellor, Author/Blogger Communications Officer **TAR** March **2012** 7 **Jordan’s Weeones Accounts Registered Charity Number: 1182548 36 Strathmore Rd Hinckley, Leicestershire, LE10 0LR jordansweeones@gmail.com www.jordansweeones.co.uk** Jordansweeones@gmail.com ## **Accounts for 01/04/2023 - 31/03/2024** ## **SUMMARY** |**Type**|**Account**|**In**|**Out**|**Comment**| |---|---|---|---|---| |Donations|Jordan's Weeones|£2194.90||SF Notts, P&B Supporters, GW,
