Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	Prevent ALL has two main objectives: 1) For the public benefit to relieve the needs of children, and their families, in England who have been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and/or other blood cancers, in particular but not exclusively by providing items and grants of financial assistance for those who are undergoing treatment; 2) The advancement of health for the public benefit through the provision of funding to support research into Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and other blood cancers, the useful results of which will be disseminated for the public benefit.
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	During our second year, Prevent ALL was focused on fund raising activities and promotion of our objectives. These included community events, sponsored activities and local media promotion. We have also established a relationship with the Institute of Cancer Research, who’s research into prevention of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and made donations to the ICR to support their research. We provide our first support to families and children undergoing treatment at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims, objectives and future planning.

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	Prevent ALL was focused on continued fund-raising activities and promotion of our objectives. These included building a website and social media pages, engaging with local media. Our initial efforts on fundraising included community events, sponsored activities and local media promotion. The local community were key to supporting our efforts. We have also established a relationship with the Institute of Cancer Research, who’s research into prevention of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia we are aiming to support in the future. Our website has been built and explains this research and why this would benefit children in the future. We have met with the ICR to better understand the research and how we can help. We provide our first support to families and children undergoing treatment at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. We are aiming to expand these efforts in the future.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	We generated £45,343 of income from fundraising activities. Spent a total of £38,574 on operating expenses and grants. A balance at the end of the year of £15,899. The Trustees decided to retain these funds at year end to cover expected operating costs and to fund and upfront cost for future events.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	Our policy for reserves aims to ensure that on a prudent basis the Trustees have sufficient reserves to continue operations. In setting the

		reserves we consider the following reasons: a) The risk of an unforeseen emergency or other unexpected need for funds, eg an unexpected large bill or finding ‘seed-funding’ for an urgent project b) Covering unforeseen day-to-day operational costs, eg employing temporary staff c) A source of income, eg a grant, not being renewed. Funds might be needed to give the trustees time to take action if income falls below expectations d) Planned commitments, or designations, that cannot be met by future income alone, eg plans for a major asset purchase or to a significant project that requires the charity to provide ‘matched funding’ e) The need to fund short-term deficits in a cash budget, eg money may need to be spent before a funding grant is received.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£15,899
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	N/A
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	At year end reserves were around our target level. Excellent progress had been made from our initial starting point less than two years ago.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	None
