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 Little Ted Foundation's dedication to
supporting families facing serious illness or
bereavement is truly remarkable. Through
their various initiatives, they have made a
significant difference in the lives of
countless families across the UK, providing
comfort, solace, and opportunities to create
lasting memories during challenging times.
Financial Assistance and Memory Making
Funding: The foundation's provision of
financial assistance to 170 families across
the UK, along with Memory Making
funding, has been instrumental in allowing
families to make the most of their time
together during difficult circumstances. This
support has alleviated financial burdens
and enabled families to create cherished
memories despite the challenges they face.| Reunification and Special Occasions: Families have been able to reunite and spend valuable time together, often for the first time since their child's birth. Additionally, the foundation's support has allowed families to celebrate special occasions, such as a much longed-for 6th birthday party for a terminally ill child. These moments of joy and togetherness are invaluable for families navigating through tough times. Recreational Activities and Respite: Families have also benefited from recreational activities, such as days out at the zoo, following extended hospital stays. Furthermore, the opportunity to enjoy breaks at Little Ted's Lodge provides much-needed respite and a peaceful environment for families to relax and heal. Support for Bereaved Families: The foundation's provision of breaks at Little Ted's Lodge to bereaved families is a testament to their commitment to supporting families through the grieving process. Each family receives a Getaway Grant, enabling them to have a stress-free break and make memories or honour the memory of their lost child. Peace and Healing: Little Ted's Lodge serves as a sanctuary for families, offering them a tranquil retreat in the foothills of Mount Snowdon. It provides a space where families can find peace, reflect, and heal together amidst the natural beauty of the surroundings. In its first year, The Little Ted Foundation demonstrated remarkable success and community support, raising a total of £97,535.42. This impressive fundraising effort reflects the generosity and dedication of the foundation's supporters towards its charitable objectives. Out of the total funds raised, £81,451.68 were allocated towards supporting the foundation's charitable objectives. This allocation underscores the foundation's commitment to utilising the funds raised effectively and efficiently to make a meaningful impact in the lives of families with seriously ill children or experiencing bereavement. The transparent and responsible use of funds highlights the foundation's dedication to its mission and ensures that resources are directed towards initiatives that directly benefit its beneficiaries. This achievement serves as a testament to the hard work, passion, and generosity of the foundation's supporters, enabling The Little Ted Foundation to fulfil its mission and make a positive difference in the lives of those it supports. ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Financial reserves = Total funds raised -
Funds used for charitable objectives
Financial reserves = £97,535.42 -
£81,451.68
Financial reserves = £16,083.74
Therefore, The Little Ted Foundation had
financial reserves of £16,083.74 at the end
of the period. These reserves represent the
remaining funds available for future use in
supporting the foundation's charitable
initiatives and objectives.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Little Ted Foundation aims to maintain
reserves equivalent to £12,000. This target
has been determined based on a
comprehensive assessment of the
organisation's financial needs, operational
requirements, and risk tolerance. This
essentially funds a full year ahead of
unfunded breaks to Little Ted’s Lodge,
should the charity face unforeseen
circumstances or fluctuations in
fundraising.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**£12,000**| |Reasons for holding zero
