the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To relieve the needs of children and
families affected by potentially life-limiting
or terminal conditions through the provision
of bespoke and innovative services,
activities, accommodation and unique
experiences| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Our Charity continues to be run entirely by
volunteers. During this year we have
significantly increased our fundraising and
charity awareness activities. This enabled
us to increase our financial and volunteer
resources so that we were able to devise,
announce and plan for our first free of
charge ‘Year in a Day’ beneficiary event.
We will use the Guttmann Sports Centre at
Stoke Mandeville for the activities and
meals and the nearby Olympic Lodge to
accommodate beneficiary families
overnight.
The event aims to provide more than 20
beneficiary families who have children with
life limiting, life threatening and terminal
conditions with a “bonus year”. This will
provide a condensed version of the
experience we hope to offer once our Wish
Village is up and running. The YIAD event
will include the year's major celebrations in
24 hours. Starting with an arrival
Valentine’s lunch, Easter, Summer,
Halloween and Christmas themed activities
and meals, to give our families some
quality time together.
The Emmett’s Genies team will take the
opportunity to try out VR headset using a
variety of apps. These VR headsets allow
children and young people aged 3 – 17 to
escape the boredom of hospital treatment,
isolation at home or distract them from
uncomfortable treatments. This trial will be
evaluated and decisions regarding| |||appropriate software choices facilitated. In
addition, we continued to provide and
enhance our boredom-busting packs.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|Yes| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|We do not make financial grants to
qualifying beneficiaries.
Boredom Busting Packs are provided to
achieve an element of escapism and allow
our beneficiaries to participate in the design
and creation of our long-term goal of the
wish village.
We provided unique experiences via free
entry to our events. These allowed
beneficiaries and their families some quality
time together and to provide them with
some relief and time away from the medical
environment.
These are some of the examples of how
our activities have helped us achieve our
aims and objective.
The Boredom Busting Packs are
delivered via our partnered NHS and other
specialist professionals to eligible children.| |Policy on social investment
including program related
investment|Para 1.38|We did not make any specific social
investment. However, our services provide
immeasurable social value to beneficiaries,
volunteers and other stakeholders.| |Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|During the period, the Charity continued to
have no paid staff and was managed by a
Board of independent trustees who
volunteered extensive time to fulfil our
charitable responsibilities and tasks.
Our sub-committee headed by
two trustees with a group of volunteers is
very proactive in organising outreach and
fundraising events and working with
potential sponsors and donors. Trustees
remained responsible for health and safety,
as well as event oversight.
During this period, we managed to recruit
another trustee, Joe Purnell, who brings
website, social media and technology
expertise to the Board. We also increased
our number of adult Ambassadors to 5.
We continued our teaming up with West
Hertfordshire Community Paediatric
Services and Helen & Douglas House.| |Other||Technology remains an important part of
achieving the aims of our Charity.| Alongside the benefits of leveraging digital technologies – website and social media – to increase the reach and profile of the Charity, we see technology as a bridge from where we are now, towards the Charity’s end goal of a physical venue. We envisage using technology to facilitate designing and updating the structure and contents of a virtual village, thus fulfilling our stated aims of providing respite to children with life-limiting or terminal conditions and their families. We plan to gradually create a Virtual (‘on-line’) Wish Village, built and changed over time from the varied imagination, skills and input of our beneficiary children, their families and friends aligned with that of our volunteers, empathetic organisations and other contributors of all types. As a starting point we are trying to purchase Virtual Reality headsets with appropriate apps that bring to our beneficiary children both ‘escapism’ and ways of experiencing the world and activities that might seem impossible to them given their medical prognosis. ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
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|By offering participation and imagination-
based opportunities to our beneficiary
children, many of whom spend much time
undergoing medical treatment and staying
in medical facilities, we have already
started to deliver benefits to recipients of
our charitable services. Feedback from our
different stakeholders indicates that our
services (events and experiences) can help
in :
•
creating pleasure, confidence and
hope
•
relieving boredom, reducing anxiety
and boosting mood
•
unearthing the power of positive
thinking, having a sense of purpose and
making a valued contribution. This was
further shown by two of our initial
beneficiaries (one having very sadly now
deceased) undertaking personal
fundraising for our Charity.
Likewise we have facilitated an increase in
volunteering with all its related benefits to
both volunteers and society as a whole.| We have been successful in engaging with a wide cross section of the community including becoming one of two designated charities of the year for Aylesbury’s Town Mayor, the chosen charity partner for Chartwell Manor Care Home, and for the Pantomime season at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre. We have also engaged with local and village communities and Elmhurst School. Our Teddy Tombola activities have been well received and helped with reuse/recycling of children’s unwanted soft toys. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

start up (first 3 years) phase objectives in

engagement and the delivery of meaningful
services.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|We have met our initial challenging aim of
raising £25,000 over the first three years.
This has now enabled us to commit to the
significant outlay for our first ‘Year in a Day’
event for beneficiaries and their families in
September 2023.| |Investment performance

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The Charity’s financial position continued to
improve significantly during the period due
primarily to £20,740 of individual
donations and a net £2,502 from event
fundraising. Our other outgoings mainly
related to purchases for beneficiaries
including providing our free of charge
boredom busting packs.
Our reserves and liquidity are considered
healthy given that we have no staff or
premises costs.
However we remain conscious that costs of
IT support, Insurance, future Storage and
our bank charges will increase.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Our accumulated cash funds which equate
to our reserves reached
£ 34,158 at 31/5/23 in readiness for very
significant outlays towards beneficiaries
including our free of charge ‘Year in a Day’
event and related technology-based
services.
We have also provisionally earmarked
£10,000 of our retained earnings as
‘unrestricted’ reserves to cover the future
planning and investment costs into
provision of both the virtual and physical
wish villages in the medium to longer term.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£27,234 of our total cash fund (reserves)
were held in an interest-bearing bank
account as they are not expected to be
used within 90 days.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|Not Applicable| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|None| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|The Charity has moved beyond its initial 3
year start-up phase and is receiving
increased interest from potential
beneficiaries and supporters. Accordingly,
apart from the possible impact on
fundraising and costs from the uncertainties
of the UK economy, the Trustees do not
have material concerns in the short term
about the Charity continuing as a going
concern.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|Para 1.47|Individual donations are the primary source
of funds. The Charity has started to
diversify funding by approaching more
organisations for sponsorship of events,
beneficiary gifts and donations.
Applications have been made to a couple
of grant making bodies but we are not
considering any borrowings.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|The Investment Policy is to place funds
only with banks authorised by the PRA and
protected by the FSCS.| |---|---|---| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|In the short term, the Charity is not
envisaging having to face any significant
financial risks. However, the
principal financial risk is the potential
magnitude of future costs in providing the
virtual and physical wish villages and other
experiences for beneficiaries such as the
‘Year in a Day’ event versus our
fundraising capabilities. We also rely
heavily on individual donations and those
from community benevolent organisations,
whose resources may become stretched by
the UK Economy. There is also the human
risk that we will not have adequate
trustees, volunteers and other supporters to
enable us to deliver the envisaged services
and maintain the Charity without incurring
significant operating costs.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
trusts:||| |---|---|---| |Type of governing document
