Our ultimate aim is to create a wish village for critically ill children and their families to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime, magical family trip together.
This was our first year of operation. During the first 6 months, we finalised our charity constitution, managed to open a bank account and successfully applied for charitable status as a CIO with the Charity Commission. In January 2021, we received charitable tax status with HMRC enabling us to benefit from gift aid schemes from certain donors..
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
In addition to formulating an outline strategic development and short term action plans, we launched an initial information based website and commenced social media communications through Facebook and Instagram focussed on potential beneficiaries and supporters. We also began to receive donations from the general public to assist our start up activities and operations.
We continued our research and dialogues into the type of physical (and virtual) wish village that our potential beneficiaries might benefit from the most.
In all these activities the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
