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 2019). 

Welcome to the Ben Saunders Foundation annual report for 2024/2025. 

Our 5th year as a charity has been one where we have continued to support families from all over England, Wales and Scotland. 

The Bath based foundation was created by Ben Saunders in August 2020. It was Ben's wish to never be forgotten and he wanted to achieve this by providing holidays for Teenagers and Young Adults with cancer. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities Background of the Ben Saunders Foundation** 

The Ben Saunders Foundation was established in August 2020 in Bath, inspired by the vision and legacy of Ben Saunders. Ben, a remarkable young man, faced his own battle with cancer with courage and compassion. During his journey, he became acutely aware of the challenges faced by teenagers and young adults undergoing cancer treatment-not just medically, but emotionally and socially. Ben's wish was to ensure that young people like him would never feel forgotten, and that they would have opportunities to create joyful memories with their families during unimaginably difficult times. 

From its inception, the Foundation has been family-led, with Ben's family and close friends forming the core of its governance and operations. This personal connection ensures that the charity's work is always rooted in empathy, understanding, and a genuine desire to make a difference. The Foundation was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 5th November 2020 (Charity Number: 1192178) and has since grown both in reach and impact. 

The primary mission of the Ben Saunders Foundation is to provide free holidays for teenagers and young adults with cancer, along with their families. These holidays offer a much-needed respite from treatment and hospital visits, giving families the chance to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories together. Since welcoming its first guests in April 2021, the Foundation has supported over 460 families from across England, Wales, and Scotland, with consistently positive feedback from those who have benefited from its services. 

The Foundation's work is made possible by the dedication of its trustees, volunteers, and supporters, as well as the generosity of donors and grant-making bodies. Over the years, the Foundation has also developed strong partnerships with local hospitals, particularly the Teenage and Young Adult ward in Bristol, providing additional support such as vouchers for patients. 

Ben's legacy lives on through every family helped, every holiday provided, and every act of kindness inspired by his story. The Foundation remains committed to growing its impact, raising awareness, and ensuring that no young person with cancer feels alone or unsupported. 

## **Our Supporters: Companies and Organisations** 

The Ben Saunders Foundation's ability to provide life-changing holidays and support to teenagers and young adults with cancer is made possible thanks to the generosity of a wide range of companies, grant-making bodies, and community groups. Their contributions have been vital in helping us grow, reach more families, and enhance the quality of our services. 

## **Key Supporters in 2024/2025** 

## **The National Lottery** 

We were honoured to receive another significant grant from the National Lottery, this time for £20,000. Their continued support has enabled us to expand our reach and invest in new facilities for our guests. 

## **Family and Friends of Hollie Mytton** 

In memory of Hollie Mytton, her family and friends raised over £15,000 for the Foundation. This heartfelt contribution has directly supported many families in need. 

## **Time Finance** 

With a generous donation of £6,973, Time Finance has played a crucial role in helping us cover operational costs and provide more holidays for young people undergoing cancer treatment. 

## **Hinkley Point** 

Their support of £6,100 has helped us maintain and improve our holiday facilities, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming environment for all our guests. 

## **The Card Factory**

**BEN SAUNDERS FOUNDATION** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

A donation of £5,000 from the Card Factory has contributed to the ongoing success of our holiday programme and the overall sustainability of the Foundation. 

## **Pride of Britain Charity** 

Their gift of £2,500 has helped us continue our work supporting families at some of the most challenging times in their lives. 

## **Zippe** 

With a donation of £1,500, Zippe has supported our mission to provide respite and joy to young people and their families. 

## **Baron Davenports** 

Their contribution of £500 has helped us with the day-to-day running of the Foundation. 

## **Fry's Bowling Club** 

The club's donation of £360 is a wonderful example of community support making a real difference. 

## **The Impact of Corporate and Community Support** 

Without the generosity of these companies, charities, and community groups, the Ben Saunders Foundation would not be able to offer the level of support and care that so many families rely on. Their donations have enabled us to: 

Purchase and maintain our new 2025 ABI Harrogate holiday home, securing a 25-year lease to support families for decades to come. 

Continue providing vouchers for patients on the Teenage and Young Adult ward in Bristol. 

Cover essential running costs through initiatives like our thriving 200 Club. 

Expand our reach to families across England, Wales, and Scotland. 

We are deeply grateful for every donation, large or small, and for the ongoing partnerships that help us fulfil Ben's legacy. Together, we are making a lasting difference in the lives of young people with cancer and their families. 

## **Our Holiday Site: Hoburne Cotswolds** 

The Ben Saunders Foundation is proud to provide holidays for families at the beautiful Hoburne Cotswolds holiday park, located near Cirencester in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park. This idyllic setting is surrounded by lakes, woodlands, and picturesque countryside, offering a peaceful and restorative environment for families facing the challenges of cancer. 

## **Why Hoburne Cotswolds?** 

Hoburne Cotswolds is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent facilities, making it an ideal retreat for families who need a break from hospital visits and treatment routines. The park is designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, ensuring that guests of all ages and abilities can relax and enjoy their stay.

**BEN SAUNDERS FOUNDATION** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Accessible lodges and facilities to accommodate guests with mobility needs. 

Dog-friendly accommodation so the whole family, including pets, can enjoy the holiday. 

Beautiful lakeside walks and nature trails for peaceful moments and wildlife spotting. 

## **A Place to Make Memories** 

Our holiday homes at Hoburne Cotswolds are fully equipped and designed to be a true "home away from home." They have all the comforts needed for a restful stay. The park's tranquil setting allows families to reconnect, make joyful memories, and simply enjoy time together away from the pressures of illness. 

## **Feedback from Families** 

Families who have stayed at Hoburne Cotswolds through the Foundation consistently praise the site's friendly staff, clean and modern facilities, and the sense of peace it provides. Whether enjoying a swim, exploring the local area, or simply relaxing in the lodge, guests find the park to be a source of comfort and happiness during difficult times. 

## **Location and Accessibility** 

Hoburne Cotswolds is easily accessible by car and public transport, with ample parking and step-free access to many facilities. The park is also close to local attractions, including the Cotswold Wildlife Park, charming villages, and the wider Cotswold Water Park, offering plenty of opportunities for day trips and exploration. 

______________________________________________________________________________________ 

"The lodges are beautiful and we've put in Sky TV with all the channels, air conditioning and so on, and just tried to make them as comfortable and welcoming as possible. If someone's having chemotherapy, let's say, for three months, two weeks on and one week off, they can go there and literally do nothing. Equally, if they finished their treatment a year ago there's an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna-loads of things to do. Alternatively, they can stay in the lodge on Hoburne Cotswold Reach which is slightly away from the main park, and wake up to the birds singing and perfect peace." - Tom Saunders, Chair of Trustees 

## **Public benefit** 

Public benefit is achieved by providing holiday accomodation for teenage and young adults undergoing treatment for cancer, as well as for bereaved families. The Trustees have given consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Volunteers** 

The foundation relies on the support of unpaid volunteers. The Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank all our generous volunteers. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

We have once again provided holidays for over 100 families in the previous 12 months. These families have come from all four corners of England as well as many from both Wales and Scotland. In total since we took our first guest in April 2021 we have now supported over 375 families. 

All of the families who stay with us have given us wonderful feedback and the majority of their stories can be found on our website. www.bensaundersfoundation.org 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

As shown on the balance sheet, the Trust's financial position is healthy. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's reserves policy is to hold funds in cash of at least £25,000 in order to cover at least 6 months' average overhead expenditure.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Going concern** 

The charity is a going concern. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue its operation. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

We remain aware of the current cost of living crisis and the impact this is having on people's ability to support charities. We are also looking to increase our support to the Teenage Young Adult ward in Bristol. 

The Foundation is an incredible family led charity and has been extremely successful in delivering an understanding and compassionate service. This is due to the unfortunate circumstances that led to the creation of this Charity. We plan to continue to grow our presence on social media, we currently have just over 6,000 followers on facebook and the page is very active. 

The Chair of Trustees has a full understanding of the trauma of losing a child and is therefore able to communicate on a professional yet understanding level with all of the families who make contact for a holiday. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

The Ben Saunders Foundation CIO (the "Foundation) was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation on 5th November 2020, number 1192178. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**

There were four trustees and the beginning Thomas, Joanne and Charlie Saunders along with Karen Payton. A further two were added on 1st August 2021 being Paul & Claire Daniels. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees**

## **Risk management**

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ben Saunders Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in  connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
