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|**For the year ending April 2025 we did see a**
**139% increase in net contribution from**
**fundraising due to some incredible efforts**
**from everyone associated with the foundation.**
**After a disappointing prior year, the run rate**
**would have seen us fall short of our 5 year**
**target of purchasing a lodge in the lakes. This**
**potential shortfall spurred the team on and**
**thanks to some fantastic fundraising events**
**and pulling off an incredible summer festival**
**(we even surprised ourselves how awesome it**
**was!) we managed to have a record year and**
**ultimately shake hands on a stunning luxury**
**lodge on a family friendly fantastic site in**
**Lakeland Haven.**
**Main contributors to the foundations success**
**in year 5 was the festival £9k profit, 3 peaks**
**challenge £7k and Lewis doing the Wild Rover**
**challenge which raised £12k.**
**Very generously we continue to be supported**
**by other efforts, largely people supporting the**
**foundation by taking on individual challenges**
**such as sport / exercise related fundraising.**
**Thank you to all of our kind supporters and**
**donators during the period.**
**We have all rallied together, had a record year**
**which put us in a position to complete a lodge**
**purchase in this financial year. This is**
**something we are all incredibly proud of.**
**As we used up all funds purchasing the lodge,**
**we did agree to let the site have access to it**
**for half of the year which meant we didn’t have**
**to cover the site fees. The charity committee**
**agreed this was in the best interest of our**
**cause as it allowed us to purchase the lodge**
**12 months earlier than would have been**
**possible which resulted in 13 families battling**
**cancer having free holidays.**
**The lodge was fully utilised in 2025 with all**
**referrals coming from our Trustee Hannah**
**who continues to work at The Christie Cancer**
**Hospital Manchester.**
**We are already improving and leaving positive**
**memories on those who need it the most and**
**on public record we want to thank everyone**
**who has supported us achieving our goal.**
**The lodge needs c.£20k per year in order to**
**cover site fees, cleaning and other running**
**costs so our journey continues whilst we**
**continue our mission.**|

**Financial Review**
