Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 During the period of this Report, the charity
received a significant cash contribution to its
funds. This made it possible to provide two
cash donations to charities which work
directly to support stroke survivors.
The cash donations were made to ‘Interact
Stroke Support’ and ‘The Stroke Association’.
These two charities were identified by the
Trustees as bringing particular benefit to
stroke survivors. ‘Interact Stroke Support’
provides an invaluable reading service to
stroke survivors in 20 hospitals across the UK.
‘The Stroke Association’ is the core charity
providing support to stroke survivors and
their families throughout the UK.
By supporting the organisations identified
above, the Trustees believe this makes a
significant difference to stroke survivors and
that this in turn satisfies the core purpose of
the charity.
In the period since 01 April 2025 the
Foundation has continued to support charities
working with stroke survivors and their
families with further grants. The most recent
grants were made in 2025.
The Foundation expects to continue providing
cash grants during 2025/26 as additional
funds are raised from cash donations. These
donations originate from two successful
fundraising events (‘The Spring Ball 2025’, and
the ‘Christmas Carol Charity Concert 2025’).

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The charity has a positive cash balance and no
financial position at the end liabilities at the end of the period.
of the period
The Foundation’s core income during the
period of this Report originated with both
large and small number cash donations. The
small donations were via Just Giving, and Easy
Fundraising.
The key component of the Foundation’s
income continues to be via fundraising events,
such as the very popular ‘The Spring Ball’. One
was held in late Spring of 2025 and there are
already plans in place to replicate this success
with another Spring Ball in 2026.
The only expenditure during the period was
(a) a recurring subscription to the ‘PR
Photoshots’ service, and a small outlay on
web design; and (b) the Trustees also agreed
that a photographer should be reimbursed for
services provided for the benefit of the
charity, and paying suppliers required for the
two fundraising events (design; travel and
venue fees).

Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Not applicable
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 Given that the charity incurred no liabilities
reserves during the period of this Report and does not
anticipate incurring any in the following
periods, there is no expectation that reserves
will be required. In particular, it should be
noted that the policy of the charity is that
Trustees only commit to grant making after
any income has been banked.
