| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. |
Para 1.18 | All trustees were issued with all the guidance and regulatory information issued by the Charity Commission on all matters relating to charity function, particularly the sections relevant to the role and function of a trustee. This includes guidance on public benefit. Trustees: • Are fully aware of the Commission’s guidance. • The guidance is at the forefront of the trustees’ decision making. • In the decision making, there has been no departure from the guidance. The trustees are confident that: • The charity delivers it services to the benefit of a sufficient section of the public, namely, teenagers and young adults. This was derived from Jasmine’s wish that the charity that she wanted to set up supported others in her age group. • The charity delivers beneficial services to teenagers and young adults with cancer, adhering to a clear procedure for the receipt of, consideration and approval of applications for support, which is wholly impartial, with complete integrityand not based onpersonal views. |

| Policy on grant making. | Para 1.38 | There continues to be a clear and well-defined procedure for the provisions of funds and grants to applicants, which is initiated by the completion and submission of an application form to the charity. The majority of the applicants are supported by representatives of those organisations that the charity has forged close links with (Young Lives v Cancer, The Teenage Cancer Trust, NHS Macmillan cancer services East Midlands). On receipt of an application, a screening takes place to ensure that the applicant is fully eligible for consideration for funding or a grant. Very few applications are declined after initial receipt. Those that have been declined have been ineligible due to age or geographical location not meeting the charity criteria. Further, the charity does, occasionally, receive multiple applications from those who have already benefited from a funding award/grant from the charity. The charity’s policy does not exclude individuals making more than one application, but a majority trustee approval is required in such cases. The charity always notifies the applicant or sponsor of such cases where an application has been declined. The charity always ensures that all information is received relevant to the application before it is processed further. Once the application is fully ready for consideration, the trustees review the application and make their decision. Due to the geographical spread of the trustees’ residences, it is not feasible to meet to assess applications. This process is performed by email, or by the WhatsApp or Messenger group set up in the charity’s name and only accessible by the charity’s trustees. A full record is kept of the approval process. 37 applications were received during the reporting period: • 27 were approved and awards made within the reporting period. • 1 has been approved, but arrangements to finalise the application request were yet to be completed before the reporting period ended. • 5 were not progressed with, due to lack of communication from the applicant or sponsor. • 2 applications were from individuals who were over the age category limit (i.e. over 24, the charity age range being 13-24). • 1 application was from an individual who did not reside in the East Midlands region. • 1 application was from an individual who had already submitted a previous application, which had been approved and funding awarded. The second application was received not long after the first. |

| Policy on social investment including program related investment. |
Para 1.38 | It remains the position that the charity trustees do not believe that the charity is ready to consider or develop social or programme related investment. No policy is in place, nor will a policy be created at this stage. |
|
| Contribution made by volunteers. | Para 1.38 | The charity continues to be extremely grateful to its supporters and volunteers who continue to give up their free time and provide their support to the charity, particularly with fundraising events and activities. The charity has particularly welcomed the continued support from those who have participated in a wide range of events and activities and have raised funds or those who have collected donations for the charity. The trustees wish to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers for their help during this operating year and look forward to seeing them again during 2025 – 2026, as well as welcoming new volunteers. |
|
| Other. | The charity’s third operational and reporting year has brought some stability in the charity’s development and in its operational practices. The charity trustees are thankful that the charity has continued to receive incredible support from its volunteers and from the wider public. Following social media calls for people to get involved in activities and events to support fundraising for the charity, it received a very positive response. This has helped to raise the profile of the charity further within the general community as well as generating additional income for the charity’s services. The charity has also experienced wider support from the business and other charitable communities, particularly with one off donations. Income levels for the charity are positive and has enabled the charity to focus a little less on its own fundraising activities and more on helping those that the charity supports. For the next operational year, 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026, the trustees remain focussed on progressing the charity’s operations and administration. Income remains important, and efforts will be made in the next operational year to review and set an annual fundraising budget plan. Significant effort will also be taken to complete and implement the remaining policies that have been agreed by the trustees. The plans for creating and implementing a charity website continue and it is planned for this to be up and running within the next operational year. The trustees remain focussed in continuing to develop and enhance the charity’s operations. Developing the charity’s income streams remains a natural priority as does promoting the charity’s services to potential applicants and receiving a greater number of applications. The trustees also accept the need to continue to develop the administration within the charity, particularly with policy development to demonstrate and represent good governance. The charity’s action plan for the period 01 April 2025 – 31 March 2026 are: • Finalise the outstanding policies and procedures as advised by the Charity Commission, namely: ➢ Risk policy and risk register. ➢ Data protection and GDPR policy. • Review the UK Charity Commission guidance on safeguarding to assess whether there is a necessity for the charity to develop a policy. • Continue to generate and enhance the awareness of the charity within the East Midlands community. • Secure partnerships with other agencies, charities and support groups that care for teenagers and young adults with cancer who reside in the East Midlands. • Progress the development of a charity website. • Develop a fundraising objective and budget plan. • Review the Charity Commission’s guidance on financial reserves to establish the charity’s financial reserve, including investment considerations. • Continue to investigate and apply to alternative sources for charitable income e.g., charitable foundations, commercial charitable schemes etc. |

Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| 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 | The charity’s third operational year has been another good performing year in all areas. ▪ Fundraising:The charity benefitted by an increase in the income from external organisation or individual fundraising activities rather than from its own fundraising activities. This reflects the public’s increased awareness of the charity within the region and their desire to fundraise for the charity. Internal fundraising receipts stood at 30% of total income, compared to previous year levels of 37% of total income. Due to growing income and despite increased numbers of applications processed this year, the trustees decided to organise fewer charity managed fundraising activities in year. This will continue into 2025-26. ▪ Income:Income received in year also grew, to £39,732, up 77% on the previous year’s level of £22,390. Nearly 50% of this income came from six external commercial or charitable foundation donations or fundraisers, all which were over £1,000. One commercial donation of £6,509 was designated for restricted use to specific geographical areas within Nottinghamshire. The charity’s own dream lottery fundraiser ran for the whole year and achieved £4,597, 12% of total income. ▪ Expenditure:Compared to annual income, expenditure, £23,906, amounted to 60% of total income. 79% (£18.9k) of expenditure was incurred in funding awards, 14% (£3.3k) was attributable to the Dream Lottery winners’ prizes, 6% (£1.4k) was incurred as charity fundraiser costs, all of which were fully recovered from the fundraisers. Only 1% of total expenditure (£334) was attributable to administration costs, which were legitimate charges for the charity operation (accounting charges, social media adverts, collection box labels). ▪ Applications:A total of 37 applications were received by the charity, a three-fold increase in the previous year’s number: ➢ 27 were approved by the trustees and funding awards were made. ➢ 1 has been approved and arrangements are ongoing to finalise the application request. ➢ 5 were not progressed with, due to lack of communication from the applicant or sponsor, despite extensive efforts by the charity. ➢ 2 applications were from individuals who were over the age category limit (i.e. over 24, the charity age range being 13-24). ➢ 1 application was from an individual who did not reside in the East Midlands region. ➢ 1 application was from an individual who had already submitted a previous application, which had been approved and funding awarded (the charity policy does not exclude individuals making more than one application, but approval is subject to a majority decision by trustees. This application had been received not long after the first application had been received and processed). |

| Achievements against objectives set. | Para 1.41 | The charity trustees are pleased with the progress made with the actions contained in the charity action plan for the period 01 April 2024 – 31 March 2025. Out of the 10 actions listed, two were not progressed and one was not fully completed, the remainder were all successfully completed. ACTIONS • Develop policies and procedures as advised by the Charity Commission, namely: ➢ Grant making policy. ➢ Safeguarding policy. ➢ Risk policy and risk register. ➢ Data protection and GDPR policy. PART ACHIEVED: A policy document “Funding Award & Grant Making Policy” was formally approved by trustees and adopted by the charity. Another policy document not listed above, “Reserves Policy” was also formally approved and adopted by the charity. This policy was recommended to trustees during the operational year following a review of the Charity Commission guidance. The risk policy and data protection policy is yet to be developed and these will be carried forward onto the 2025-2026 action plan and priority will be given to completing the action in year. A review was conducted on the need for a Safeguarding policy in the early stages of the charity’s creation. The original view of the charity was that a policy document was not required at that time. However, as the charity has progressed and, on the recommendations and advice of the charity’s partner organisations and the Charity Commission’s guidance on safeguarding, a new review will be conducted to determine if such a policy is required. • Continue to enhance the awareness of the charity within the East Midlands community. ACHIEVED: Considerable success was achieved for this action with various businesses, local government organisations, local community organisations and charitable organisations making contact with the charity, either to make a donation to the charity, run fundraisers in aid of the charity or to request that a representative from the charity attend meetings/events to give a presentation about the charity and its services. Whilst this action was achieved, this will continue as an action for 2025- 2026. • Progress the development of a charity website. ACHIEVED: Work was initiated in year to start the construction of a website. Much has been done to get the website in a position for the trustees to review and approve and it is expected that this work will conclude in 2025-2026. Whilst this action was achieved, this will continue as an action for 2025- 2026. |

Para 1.41 | • • • • • |
Continue to actively advertise the services of the charity within NHS cancer services in East Midlands, particularly hospices that support young people. ACHIEVED: A review was performed of hospice services in the East Midlands that supported teenagers and young adults with terminal cancer. A total of 15 hospices were contacted. Sadly, only three hospices responded however, this action was achieved and it is hoped that, at some future point, the charity may be contacted by these organisations. Continue to investigate and apply to alternative sources for charitable income e.g., charitable foundations, commercial charitable schemes etc. ACHIEVED: Significant work was done for this action, and some positive results were achieved, particularly with charitable foundations, non-profit organisations and local faith groups. Some of the contacts/sources made were achieved through the charity’s research whereas other contacts/sources came either from word of mouth, from the charity’s Facebook page or from chance meetings at some of the charity’s fundraisers or speaker events. Whilst this action was achieved, this will continue as an action for 2025- 2026. Develop the interest of members of the public to support the charity by participating in activities and events to fundraise for the charity. ACHIEVED: A fantastic response was received from members of the public in response to the charity’s call to get involved with participating or organising activities/events to support fundraising for the charity. Over £10,300 was received in income from these organised fundraisers, as follows: Local equine business open day £4,917 1,000-mile charity walk (parent of child who received a funding award from our charity) £2,000 London Marathon (two participants) £1,273 Triathlon( one participant) £871 Local folk group music events £812 Local pub/restaurant beer festival £489 £10,362 Due to the success of this action, this will continue as an action for 2025- 2026. Continue to develop the charity’s social media channels as agreed by the trustees. ACHIEVED: The trustees performed a review of the various social media channel options available to it and it was decided that, for now, given that the charity is progressing with the development of a website, the charity’s current Facebook social media account is sufficient. Continue to investigate options for delivering alternative support to teenage and young adult cancer patients other than individual funding/grant applications. NOT ACHIEVED: Due to the changing priorities of the charity during the operational year, no progress was made on this action item. The trustees continue to believe that this is a relevant action to pursue, so this will continue as an action for 2025-2026. |

Update the charity’s governing document objective to cover the charity’s expansion of its services to teenagers and young adults (ages 13-24) in the East Midlands who have been successfully treated for cancer and continue to be supported by NHS cancer services. NOT ACHIEVED: Due to the changing priorities of the charity during the operational year, no progress was made on this action item. This will continue as an action for 2025-2026. Review the Charity Commission’s guidance on financial reserves. ACHIEVED: The Charity Commission guidance on financial reserves was reviewed and a formal “Reserves Policy” was created. However, further work needs to be done as the trustees agreed to consider investing some of the reserves. This will continue as an action for 2025-2026. |
|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set. |
Para 1.41 | Despite the increase in approved applications, the level of income received by the charity over the year has continued to grow, mainly due to donations and fundraising activities from external organisations for the charity. A decision was made by trustees to limit the number of charity organised fundraisers however, the level of income has continued to grow overall. Currently, this is not of concern to the trustees however, they do accept that a fundraising objective will need to be set and they believe that, by analysing the data for the three-year operating period, 03 Dec 2021 – 31 March 2025, an annual fundraising objective can be developed during the reporting year 1 Apr 2025 – 31 Mar 2026. Accordingly, this is set out in the action plan for 2025-2026. The finance summary for 1 Apr 2024 – 31 Mar 2025 is as follows: Income £39,732 Expenditure £23,906 Funding awards 47.5% of income 79% of expenditure £18,881 Charity fundraiser costs 11.8% of income 19.6% of expenditure £4,674 Administration costs 0.9% of income 1.4% of expenditure £352 Administration costs were kept very low for this operating year compared to the previous year. £250 of the £334 was for the accounting independent examination, an obligatory charge. All charity fundraiser costs were recovered through event sponsorship and specific fundraising activities (lottery number purchases for the Dream Lottery, class sponsorship for the charity horse show). |

| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period. |
Para 1.21 | The charity has attached its accounts for the reporting period 01 Apr 2024 – 31 Mar 2025. The trustees are very pleased to report that the charity’s financial position as at the end of its second reporting period continues to maintain a healthy balance (£74,881). This is up by £15,826 from last year’s year end position. Notwithstanding the fact that the charity received 37 applications for funding (a threefold increase on the last performance year) and funding award payments increased significantly (totalling £18,880), compared to £4,358), the overall funding level held continued to increase, mainly due to the increase in external group fundraising and donation income received. Given this situation, the trustees made the decision mid-year to limit the number of charity-based fundraisers to try and stabilise the funding held by the charity. This will continue into the next performance year. Expenditure on individual funding awards was 47.5% of the total income for the year, up 20% on the previous year. Income for the period was £39,732 Payments for the period was £23,906 Net cash funds c/f from previous reporting period £59,055 Net cash funds c/f to 01 April 2026 £74,881 For payments, the % breakdown of total costs is as follows: Individual funding awards 79% £18,881 Fundraising event charges 19.6% £4,674 Administration charges 1.4% £352 |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held. |
Para 1.22 | The charity does not currently have any funds strictly held in reserve. It was recognised by trustees, during the last performance year, that, given the level of funds held by the charity, that a reserves policy was required. Consequently, a formal reserves policy for the charity was created, approved by the trustees and is in force. Work will be undertaken in the next performance year to identify suitable accounts that reserves can be held. |
| Amount of reserves held. | Para 1.22 | Nil. |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves. | Para 1.22 | During previous performance years, the trustees considered that the charity was not in a position to establish reserves. With funding levels continuing to increase, the trustees approved for the charity to move towards the development of holding reserves. The first step was to develop a policy document for reserves, which is now in force. Further work is to be done to investigate suitable accounts for reserves to be held. |
| Details of fund materially in deficit. | Para 1.24 | Nil. |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern. |
Para 1.23 | The trustees do not currently hold any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern. The auditor who performed the independent examination of the charity’s set of accounts for the reporting period reported nothing of any concern regarding the accounts or any issues arising that would give uncertainty as to the charity’s continued operation as a going concern. |
