successfully registered with the Charity
Commission on 9thJune 2022.
The initial focus of the charity has been in
the Surrey region.
Following a successful launch and
fundraising event the charity commenced the
provision of care packages to children
receiving cancer treatment in hospitals in the
local area. Feedback from children, parents
and hospital staff has been very supportive.
We also started providing healthy snacks to
a local NHS hospital in Epsom along with
leaflets explaining the work of the charity
and signposting to further useful resources
for families of children suffering with cancer.
In July 2022 the charity held its first annual
Family Fun Day for families of children
suffering with cancer as well as the wider
community providing fun activities, children’s
entertainment, local radio and a dedicated
support area. The event enabled families to
come together and share experiences as
well as raise public awareness in matters
relating to childhood cancer within the wider
community.
In March 2023 we held our first Gala dinner
at Epsom Downs racecourse to raise funds
and promote the work of the charity. We’d
like to thank all those who attended and
gave generously. Over £31,000 was raised
from the event.| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
