health of the public for the benefit of the public and that arrangements are made so that the useful results of any research are made publicly available and disseminated widely. · Where research funded by the charity might produce results which can be exploited, either financially or in furtherance of the charity's aims, the trustees will consider and take reasonable steps to protect the charity's intellectual property arising from their funding. · The trustees will ensure the charity uses such rights to further the charity's aims or maximise the return that the charity receives from them. · In selecting topics for medical research, the trustees will be guided by recommendations from any academics with whom they are working, along with their own personal experiences, to ensure public benefit is delivered. · The trustees will ensure that in respect of all the charity funding of medical research no more than incidental private benefit will arise to any individuals or non-charitable / commercial entities as a result. · The trustees will consider the Charity Commission's guidance 'Research by higher education institutions' wherever applicable.

Achievements and Performance

| 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 | Our first year as a charity, 11 December 2019 to 31 December 2020, marks the beginning of an exciting journey of the Charitable Organisation in delivering upon its’ objects. The Charity is funding a medical research project at the Centre for Translational and Experimental Medicine at Imperial College in London. This work is critical as current cancer treatments typically target a particular mutation. However, cancer cells rapidly divide acquiring multiple mutations over time. It is this diverse, or heterogenous, make up of metastatic cancer cells which often results in cancer recurring or spreading to other parts of the body. By building a cutting-edge 3D model of breast cancer the scientists working on this research will enable drugs to be tested on multiple mutations at the same time. |
Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The principal funding sources were donations via the PayPal Giving Fund. The PayPal Giving Fund collects donations from PayPal Users, eBay Users and Other Users, acting as Donors and regrants these donations with GiftAid, where applicable, to Team Antoinette. [1] The PayPal Giving Fund does not charge a fee for using the Website or the Online Tools. In addition, no deductions for The PayPal Giving Fund’s expenses and services are made from the funds re-granted to Team Antoinette.

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to operate should the trustees cease funding of operational costs. The estimated reserve need is approximately GBP 426.00 which incorporates Website fees of approximately 40GBP per month Telephone costs of approximately 20 GBP per month Insurance costs of approximately 11 GBP per month |
|
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | The balance held at 31 December 2020 was £497.61, leaving the current level of reserves in line with reserve requirements. All funds, including reserves, are held with its bankers until the charity trustees award medical research funding in accordance with the grant-making policy. |
