Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the CIO are for the public benefit of children across the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. In particular:
-
To provide relief from sickness by the provision of medical equipment or the improvement of facilities at hospitals or for outpatients at home as the trustees shall determine at their absolute discretion.
-
To provide relief from sickness through the support of treatment, training and research for the public benefit of children and young people.
-
Such other charitable purposes for the relief of sickness, whether or not connected with hospitals, as the trustees shall determine at their absolute discretion.
Significant activities
The CIO provided £20,829 charitable benefits during the year. This was in the form of a grant to The Evelina Children's Hospital, London. It expects to continue with such expenditure as its main activity in subsequent years.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Our principle focus continues to be The Beam Campaign, which aims to ensure that intravenous (IV) access is a more efficient and less intimidating procedure for young patients and their families. The campaign aims to purchase a mobile ultrasound vein finder for the 26 paediatric surgical wards in the UK, as well as a training and information programme, for which we need to raise £1 million. Please read more about this ambitious campaign here:

Investment performance
The value of the charity's investment portfolio has fallen during the year with £11,629 losses on investments. £3,659 of such losses were realised upon disposal and the remaining £7,970 are unrealised and in respect of investments still held at the year end.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources are investment income and donations by the general public. Donations are often as a result of specific fundraising events.
Investment policy and objectives
The assets of the CIO and are invested in a professionally managed diverse investment portfolio. This is designed to achieve long-term growth in both capital and income so as to fund charitable expenditure in the form of grants. The CIO employs Brooks MacDonald as investment managers for this portfolio.
Reserves policy
The trustees actively build up surpluses within the general fund from which to pay the day to day expenses of the charity. This is supported wherever possible by fundraising. The trustees endeavour to maintain a minimum of one year's running costs in reserves.
The charity only purchases equipment for which it has funding, otherwise fundraising is undertaken specifically for an item of equipment. The charity has minimal running costs.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is an incorporated entity governed under a constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
