Structure, Governance and Management

Finley’s Touch was formed in July 2022 in memory of Finley Relf, an amazing young lad who danced, laughed and zoomed along in a life that was cut way too short.

Finley’s Touch con�nued to grow both financially and geographically in its second year of opera�on. The addi�on of further sponsors, increased individual supporter ac�vi�es and outreach to new hospitals helped contribute towards a very posi�ve year.

Income rose by 42% to over £96,000 allowing us to spend over £29,000 on suppor�ng families with children with cancer. This included £15,000 on grants to alleviate financial hardship and 63 survival bags for both children and their parents during those long spells in hospital. We also introduced free annual Na�onal Trust memberships to provide days out during and a�er treatment.

At the end of the year, we decided to expand to include hospitals in Surrey and Kent. This increase in catchment area aims to maximise the support we can offer whilst maintaining a strong financial posi�on for the future.

Objec�ves

The Charity's objects are:

The relief of children up to the age of 16 suffering from leukaemia or any other form of cancer living in England, though predominantly in Sussex, by raising public awareness and educa�on, providing discre�onary grants, gi�s, informa�on, prac�cal support or by any means the trustees think appropriate to the children and their families.

Achievements and Performances:

The trustees are pleased to report that the following ac�vi�es have helped the charity establish an ongoing income stream and build a wider network of rela�onships within the community:

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Appointment of trustees begun from the first annual general mee�ng and was in accordance with the ar�cles of associa�on. At every subsequent annual general mee�ng, one third of the trustees are subject to re�rement by rota�on.

If the Charity at the mee�ng at which a trustee re�res by rota�on does not fill the vacancy the re�ring trustee shall, if willing to act, be deemed to be reappointed unless at the mee�ng it is resolved not to fill the vacancy or unless a resolu�on is put to the mee�ng and lost. The number of trustees shall not be less than two and are not subject to any maximum. Trustees have the power to co-opt members to

a commi�ee so long as those co-opted members do not exceed one half of the total number of trustees on that commi�ee.

Trustee Induc�on and Training

New trustees are required to undergo an orienta�on day in order to be briefed on legal obliga�ons expected of them under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Ar�cles of Associa�on and the processes on decision making within the Charity. The Charity encourages trustees to a�end, at their discre�on; appropriate external training events were these will be used for the undertaking of the role.

Organisa�onal Structure

The Trustees, presently seven, provide the strategic direc�on of the Charity. The aims and objec�ves are communicated to the Charity.

Assets held on behalf of another charity.

There are no assets held on behalf of another charity.

From the strategy the Trustees have iden�fied a few minor risks. These are known to the Trustees and have been mi�gated accordingly.

Risk Management

The Trustees have a risk management strategy that includes:

  1. An annual review of the risks the Charity may face.

  2. The establishment of systems and procedures to mi�gate those risks iden�fied in the plan.

  3. The implementa�on of procedures designed to minimise any poten�al impact on the Charity should they materialise.

Financial risk is to be mi�gated by the secretary monitoring the bank frequently to ensure no losses from error or fraud take place.

The policies of risk management are con�nuously reviewed to ensure they s�ll meet the needs of the Charity.
