DouJ%gn En¥elre ID.. 67DoF45D-315NE8Mf2>1tD72B75FO THE CHILDREN'S CANCER AND LEUKAEMIA GROUP OPERATING AS CCLG: THE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S CANCER ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 The major item$ of expenditvre for CCLG remain staff salarie$, professional meeting and event costs, the costs associated wrth the production of heatth inf0mtiOn. and the awarding of research grants. Staffing costs represent a significant financial commitment. bul our small, expert staff team is also responsible for the 8ehievement of the majorty ol our chrtable objectNes. Staffing levels are kept under re¥w, with the small. efficient team carrying out and coordinating the consNJerable actmties of the charrty. Our overall income decreased by £3.554.882. compared with the year ending December 2023. The majorty ofthis was due lo a reduction in research funding through our partnership wrth The Little Princess Trust, whtch was a pLgnned redu¢lion. The Twsl has been investing reserves over the course of several years. as well 89 making strategic investments in Specif research programme$ (including the Experimental Cancer Medicines Nefvlork IECMCII. and we now expect the inco and expenditLtre through our partnership lo remain broadly slable al this level in future years. We saw an increase in donations and legaCS of £124,730 over last year, and a Slight increase in investmgnl incom? due to continued hwh interest rates. CCLG has a number of restlted hjnds. Inlefnal records are kept according lo requirements for feslriction, i.e. di¥8ase-specrfic donations for research into a specrfK type of cancer, or donations for a specffic piece of work. The reslricled funds are ring4enced to support specfft projects or areas of activity and cannot be used to support the general running costs of the organisatDn. Expendrture decreased in 2024 by £2,233,875 comparod to 2023. Again. this mainly r8flect8 a reduction in research funded through our partnershp with The Lrttle PnrKesG Trust compared lo the pfevious year. We ended the year with an overall defKit of £493,352. There was a surplus ol unrestricted income of £36.724, compared wrth a deficit of £530.076 in reslrieted into and expenditure. This refleds our previous ¢ynmrtment lo increasing our invotslmenl In research, and the facl the much of our rgstrKled income is reslricled lo reseaich into specrfK type$ of cancer. building over sevwal years unlil Ihere ale 8ufficignl funds available lo invest in high44ualrty, impacllul research projects. The Iruslees continue lo con$Kler the 8ppropri8te balance of financial stabilty and investment in charitable 8etwrty. The COWD-19 pandemic follwd by a period of global economic uncertainty and Inflatnary pressure has highlighted thè importance of an appropriate serveS pOIy. 11 is important we continue lo hold a level of reserves which can sustain our oCtNrty until we have a fuller pKture ol what the exlemal environment, particularly in respect of fundraising and charitable giving. b)ok$ like in the medium•lern. We have plans in pt to ensure CCLG 'fil for the future. and our reserves policy will ensure we afe ablo10 meet those plans. Al the end ol the year, we have reviewed our reserves Oicy for CCLG and aim to hold a target level of free reserves lunrestrKted funds less tangib fixed assets) of £250,000 - £500,000, which the Iruslees consider lo be approximate three lo six months of core expendrture. including $tsff salaries, accommodatn costs and general Tunning costs, based on the 2025 budget. This represents a change in our reserves poIY from prevKJu5 years, based on future income and expendrture projectn$, broadty stable land more recenlty increasingl urestrell income. and prowdes the flexibilty lo ensure that the charity can invest in charrtible aclivilies. The Twstees cOnSler it prudent to balance the investment of reserves into charitable activrty lo meet the needs of our beneflar and fulfil the wishes of our donors and supporters. Having a re5erve5 policy based on a range Tather than a red figure, as provKsusly, giv8s us the fiexibility to be moré responsive lo appropriate opportuntties for charrtable investmgnt. Total reseNes 81 31 Dg¢ember 2024 were £2.79S.200 {2023.. £3,288,5521 of whh £2,368.518 12023.. £2,896,594) are reslrided and £426.682 12023". £389.9581 are unrestricted.

Given the current econom uncertainty, the trustees consider it prudent to balance the investment of reserves into our eharrtable actNty whilst en$uring Sufflent funds are available lo ensure the charity is a 'going concem, and able lo meet its commrtnnts.

REPORT (CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Our restricted reserves appear high. at £2,368,518 at the end of 2024. Much of our restricted fundraising income is raised by families, ring-fen¢ed for research into Speerf types of chiklhood cancer.
