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 continued to grow both financially and geographically in its third year of operation. The addition of further sponsors plus increased individual supporter activity and outreach to a new county helped contribute towards a very positive year. Income rose by 144% to over £230,000 from £94,000 in the previous year. This overwhelming support allowed us to spend nearly £160,000 on supporting families with children with cancer. This included £119,000 on grants to alleviate financial hardship, nearly £33,000 on National Trust Memberships for those essential days out during recovery and £7,800 on survival bags for both children and their parents during those long spells in hospital. At the end of the year, we decided to expand to include families in Hampshire to add to the counties of Sussex, Surrey and Kent that we were already supporting. This increase in catchment area aims to maximise the support we can offer whilst maintaining a strong financial position for the future.

Objectives

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 education, providing discretionary grants, gifts, information, practical support or by any means the trustees think appropriate to the children and their families.

Public Benefit

Achievements and Performances:

The trustees are pleased to report that the following activities have helped the charity establish an ongoing income stream and build a wider network of relationships within the community:

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Appointment of trustees begun from the first annual general meeting and was in accordance with the articles of association. At every subsequent annual general meeting, one third of the trustees are subject to retirement by rotation.

If the Charity at the meeting at which a trustee retires by rotation does not fill the vacancy the retiring trustee shall, if willing to act, be deemed to be reappointed unless at the meeting it is resolved not to fill the vacancy or unless a resolution is put to the meeting 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 committee so long as those co-opted members do not exceed one half of the total number of trustees on that committee.

Trustee Induction and Training

New trustees are required to undergo an orientation day in order to be briefed on legal obligations expected of them under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the processes on decision making within the Charity. The Charity encourages trustees to attend, at their discretion; appropriate external training events were these will be used for the undertaking of the role.

Organisational Structure

The Trustees, presently seven, provide the strategic direction of the Charity. The aims and objectives 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 identified a few minor risks. These are known to the Trustees and have been mitigated 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 mitigate those risks identified in the plan.

  3. The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should they materialise.

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

The policies of risk management are continuously reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the Charity.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the Directors of Finley’s Touch for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and other relevant records in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires that the Trustees prepare financial statements for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the Charity, incoming resources, and the application of aforementioned resources, including the income and expenditure of the Charity.
