In particular, the report explains how the Board of Trustees have used our public benefit guidance to deliver services to support its beneficiaries.

The Daniella Logun Foundation (DLF) is a childhood cancer support charity established in memory of Daniella Logun, who passed away from a brain tumour in 2016 just 12. We support the holistic wellbeing of children and young people with brain tumours, other cancers and their families to improve access to, outcomes of and experience of palliative care.

Board of Trustees:

Trustee Statement of Identifiable Public Benefit

"We the trustees of the Daniella Logun Foundation (DLF) have carried out our purpose for the public benefit. Both the co-founders and trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

and supported from the point of diagnosis onwards. We wish to facilitate a holistic approach to the delivery of palliative care for CYP diagnosed with brain tumours, other cancers and their families, as best practice across the UK’s children’s palliative healthcare sector to improve patient experience in the future.

Achievements and Performance

Navigating the Pandemic Legacy – The Daniella Logun Foundation (DLF) was launched in March 2020, at the exact onset of the UK lockdown. This timing presented an unprecedented challenge:

Post-Pandemic Adaptation and the "Cost-of-Giving" Crisis - While the height of the pandemic has passed, the Trustees report that DLF continues to navigate a complex "poly-crisis." The 2023 energy price hikes, the ongoing Cost-of-Living crisis, and a secondary "Cost-of-Giving" crisis in the UK have further pressured our financial and operational recovery.

Despite these external headwinds, DLF has demonstrated remarkable strategic resilience. As a volunteer-led, start-up holistic service, we have refused to remain stagnant. Highlights of our recovery include:

DLF remains committed to innovating and co-producing projects that meet the evolving needs of our families. We enter the next period with a focus on sustainable growth, having proven our ability to adapt under the most challenging circumstances imaginable.

Community Outreach

  1. Holistic Wellbeing Support: this year we offered generalist and specialist support to CYP service users and their families. Despite ongoing challenges to expand our workforce, we successfully served over 200 people including 37 CYP with cancer, 34 siblings and 47 parent carers and their families at the end of this financial year. Our core wellbeing support offer extends across the following areas:

  2. Emotional

  3. Food & Nutrition

  4. Practical & Lifestyle

  5. Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND) and Learning

  6. Play & learning

  7. Entertainment – birthday cards, days out, meals out etc.

  8. Faith & Spirituality

  9. Advocacy and Representation

  10. Cherry Blossoms Bereavement Outreach: this free and flexible service offers a general and specialist lifeline to support families who have lost children to a brain tumour or other types of cancer. This is a budding service that requires ongoing development and wider system partnership to increase uptake.

Events and Campaigns

  1. Monthly Coffee & Cake Afternoon Drop-In Sessions: Held on the last Saturday of each month from January to July 2025, these sessions serve as a vital cornerstone for community connection. They are designed to foster new friendships and offer a dedicated listening service for parent-carers, including prayer support upon request. To ensure this service reaches those who need it most, we have prioritized stakeholder engagement alongside targeted digital and print marketing. Moving into 2026, we are seeking wider system partnerships to further increase uptake and evolve the service in line with family needs.

  2. Fresh Food Drive Programme: We are proud to report a highly impactful year, supported by a £20,000 grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. With 4.3 million children (30%) in the UK currently living in relative poverty , families facing a cancer diagnosis are under immense pressure. The "Cancer Premium” an average of £891 in extra monthly costs, often forces parents to cut fresh fruit, vegetables, and high-quality proteins from their budgets.

Our Free Fresh Food Drive delivers high-quality produce directly to the doorsteps of referred households. This is more than a delivery; it is a critical lifeline designed to tackle food insecurity for children with cancer and their siblings.

support. By fostering a sense of brotherhood through sport, we aim to address the often-overlooked wellbeing needs of men navigating childhood cancer.

WearSomethingYellow (WSY) & Community Engagement

The #WSY campaign transformed into a powerful borough-wide movement this year. By engaging leaders across the Local Authority, schools, and HVSCE partners in Hillingdon, we fostered a unified voice for the community. Collaborative photo shoots across various sectors visually demonstrated our collective commitment to supporting families facing childhood cancer.

4th Annual CCAM Family Fun Day

Held at St Matthew’s Church of England Church, Yiewsley, this flagship event continues to grow in popularity and impact.

Now in its fourth year, our Christmas Toy & Gift Drive remains a staple of our mission to combat the isolation and emotional neglect often felt by families during the festive season.

Strategic Partnerships & Distribution

We diversified our 2024 strategy through high-level collaborations with national charities and local corporate partners:

System-wide Partnerships: Research & Patient Experience

The Foundation’s holistic wellbeing support is rooted in a deeply personalized referral system, integrating family-led, professional, and agency-based pathways. At the core of our methodology is a comprehensive assessment process conducted through home visits and detailed telephone consultations. This high-touch engagement remains the hallmark of the DLF approach.

By using dedicated pro-formas to capture the specific needs of children, siblings, and parent-carers, we ensure our support is both agile and evidence-based. This process is invaluable; it not only preserves the integrity of our data but, more importantly, fosters a secure and trusting relationship with families, allowing us to respond effectively as their needs evolve following a cancer or brain tumour diagnosis.

Integrated Care & Collaboration

Our strategic objective is to provide a vital, non-clinical complement to statutory NHS paediatric palliative care. We focus on bridging the gap between clinical intervention and holistic wellbeing from the moment of diagnosis. In 2024, this was achieved through robust local integration:

Strategic Research & Patient Experience

The DLF continues to influence the future of paediatric care through strategic involvement in national research and infrastructure projects. Our Co-founder and CEO, Angela Logun, serves as an "Expert by Experience," ensuring the family voice is central to clinical innovation.

National Research & Solution Development

We have continued our Public Patient Insights (PPI) consultation with King’s College London on the Childhood Palliative Care Outcomes Scale (C_POS) study.

Financial Review

Economic Landscape & Operational Context

Throughout the 2024–2025 fiscal year, the Dannie Logun Foundation (DLF) has continued to operate within a challenging economic environment. While the immediate disruptions of previous years have stabilized, the charity is now navigating the "long-tail" effects of the Cost-ofLiving crisis and a wider contraction in the UK’s "Cost-of-Giving." These factors have made the acquisition of multi-year unrestricted funding increasingly competitive.

Despite these headwinds, the Board of Trustees has maintained a focus on fiscal resilience. We have prioritized high-impact, low-overhead service delivery, ensuring that our resources are directed where they are most needed: supporting the holistic wellbeing of children and families facing a cancer diagnosis.

Income Performance

For the 2024–2025 period, the Foundation successfully diversified its revenue streams, generating a total income of £44,677.56. Key contributors included:

Expenditure & Fiscal Governance

Total expenditure for the year was recorded at £49,118.03. This figure includes the settlement of deferred bookkeeping and accounting fees from previous cycles, representing a concerted effort by the Trustees to clear historical liabilities and streamline our balance sheet.

Transparency & Accountability: Our financial statements have been meticulously prepared by BalanceBooks Limited. In accordance with statutory requirements, these accounts underwent an independent examination by Henrietta Nwulu FCCA, Chartered Accountant. The independent examiner’s report is available as an addendum, confirming our commitment to transparency and rigorous financial governance.

2025 Strategic Financial Recovery & Growth Plan

As a volunteer-led organization, the DLF remains characterized by its "unreserved resilience." Having successfully navigated the post-pandemic transition, our focus has now shifted toward Strategic Growth and Sustainability.

Key Pillars of the 2025 Strategy:

The Trustees remain confident that the Foundation’s unique positioning, bridging the gap between clinical care and community wellbeing, presents a compelling case for future investment and partnership.

Principal Funding Sources

The Foundation is entirely self-funded through competitive grants and independent fundraising initiatives; we receive no statutory government funding. Considering the increasing budgetary constraints within local authorities, the DLF remains committed to diversifying its income streams. Our strategy for the 2024–2025 period focuses on expanding our network of corporate partners and trust-based grant makers to ensure the long-term viability of our service delivery.

Gift Aid Status

The Daniella Logun Foundation has not registered for Gift Aid. Consequently, the charity has not claimed or received Gift Aid tax relief on donations for the 2024–2025 fiscal year. As part of our commitment to maximizing the value of every community donation, the Board of Trustees is reviewing the administrative requirements for Gift Aid registration. This transition is identified as a key objective in our long-term financial strategy to ensure that future eligible donations can be enhanced by the additional 25% tax relief provided by HMRC, further supporting our vital work with children and families.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

As of the end of this reporting period, the Foundation holds no fixed assets or significant liabilities.

Structure, Governance, and Management

Governing Document

The Daniella Logun Foundation (DLF) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) . Established in November 2019 and formally registered with the Charity Commission on 8 March 2020, the charity is governed by its Constitution (Governing Document), which outlines our objects, powers, and governance framework.

Board and Organizational Structure

The Board of Trustees comprises five members who meet quarterly to provide strategic oversight, set policy, and monitor the charity’s direction. Our Board offers a diverse representation of gender and lived experience, including parent-carers and professionals with backgrounds Legal, paediatric medicine and General care in the NHS (UK) and Ireland. This ensures the voices of our beneficiaries remain central to our leadership.

Key Governance Forums:

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are recruited on a voluntary basis for a two-to-four-year rotation, with eligibility for re-election. While our trustees are volunteers who receive no automatic benefits, the Board implemented a Trustee Payment Policy in November 2023. This policy adheres to Section 185 of the Charities Act 2011, governing payment for specific goods and services rendered outside of standard trustee duties.

Strategic Internal Appointments

Recognizing the severe post-pandemic pressures and limited human resources, the Board conducted an internal skills audit to identify leadership for our growing project pipeline. It was determined that a public recruitment drive was currently unaffordable and that internal expertise should be leveraged:

Induction and Training

New trustees receive a comprehensive digital resource pack centered on the Charity Commission’s "The Essential Trustee" guide. Induction includes:

Risk Management

The DLF maintains a robust risk management framework. Major risks are reviewed and recorded during monthly operational meetings, with significant issues escalated to the Board of Trustees at quarterly meetings. This ensures that risks, from financial volatility to safeguarding, are mitigated through proactive oversight and agile response strategies.
