Objectves and Actvites
Our third year of operations focused on continuing to build our brand and awareness thorough the following activity:
-
local partnerships with complimentary cancer charities, whose cause are aligned to ours but cause no conflict of interests in our operations, giving us room to collaborate and build a better future for those living with cancer and their families
-
developing our community reach, relationships with those living with cancer and our bank of stories to show the need for and impact of our work
-
and developing assets and materials to showcase our unique position and intentions in the support of childhood cancer, including a podcast series lead by those affected by childhood cancer, their families, survivors and leaders in the field of research
-
developing and broadening our community and corporate relationships to enable greater future fundraising that delivers increased awareness and sustainable future income
-
strengthening of our network and board, by identifying skills and needs to support the above growth and building relationships with the appropriate individuals to deliver these
Funding in 2023/24 from new sources continued to be difficult given the economic landscape, the crowded marketplace we operate in, and the early development of our organisation. We have reduced our outgoings toward the end of the 2024 financial year, bringing our marketing inhouse, to ensure our sustainability and have stabilised income form known and warm sources, including a handful of individual donors. With our revised our strategy in place we are on track to
The Childhood Cancer Charity 151 Wardour Street, London, W1F 8WB Charity No. 1195413
grow our income over the coming 12 months with the aim of delivering our first grant round in the coming years.
Good governance and financial stability remain a key focus for us, and the next few years will be key for us to increase our trustee numbers, and further develop greater skills in the areas of Research, Paediatrics, Nutrition, Mental Health, Parent Experiences and Marketing. This will ensure the ongoing robustness of our organisation and broader experience to support our next stage of development.
This year our income continued to be generated through the generous donations of our trustees and connections all of whom have a personal interest in the development of dedicated childhood cancer research. We have also begun to receive generous donations from the wider public, a positive step for our organisation and one we are proud of given our limited resources for marketing at this stage.
Partnerships with local suppliers, including IT services and marketing, who have provided their services and advice this year at revised reduced rates or pro-bono, have been key to enabling us to carefully grow our organisation and develop our strategy. Strategic partnerships with local companies will form part of our ongoing strategy, combined with support from our growing community with the aim of providing dedicated cancer research for all children.
We continue to be mindful of our costs and those incurred have been covered by our modest fundraising as detailed below. In addition, any costs related to the continued recording and marketing of our podcast have been covered by an external company as a pro-bono gift.
Accounts
The attached accounts show receipts of £3,898.57 and expenditure of £4,125.52. We are proud to have increased our organic income by 68% in this second full public-facing fundraising year, and acknowledge that our expenditure increased due to the investment in the recording and promotion of our new podcast series. We expect the results of this investment to be shown in our 2024/2025 financial year, with an increase in public donations from new source following the launch of the podcast and subsequent fundraising appeal.
The Charity has no debts and does not hold funds as investments. These accounts have been verified by Laura Townsend & Zahra Scott-Gunnlaugsson in their capacity as Trustees. The Charity has no paid employees.
This Annual Report is approved by the board of Trustees Chairperson, Zahra Scott-Gunnlaugsson and verified by all trustees.
