The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The main objective of the charity is the advancement of health for public benefit by preserving and protecting the health of those in need of treatment and care. Great Causes II (GCII) works with professionals and experts to deliver targeted and systematic improvements in healthcare. We seek to build close working relationships, with carefully selected partners, to provide seed funding for projects that are designed to tackle complex and seemingly intractable problems and deliver impactful and scalable solutions. We identify and select our partners through our independent research. We offer targeted funding and support to help deliver positive outcomes, reduce costs and amplify their impact. We do not respond to unsolicited requests for funding and all donations of money and time were made by trustees. ## **Significant activities** During the period, the trustees engaged with two leading health charities on three key projects: ## - ' Projects 1 & 2 St Christopher s Hospice The aim of these projects is to work towards improving the experience for people that are terminally ill or are bereaved both in the UK and internationally. St Christopher's Hospice is developing two important and cutting-edge initiatives. The first (Project 1) brings to life an all-important report published in 2021 by the Lancet regarding the value of death and how global inequities at the end of life can and must be addressed. Project 2 is a new undertaking that will improve the practice of nurses delivering palliative care and by extension, the experience of the terminally ill (End of Life care for the public benefit). ## Project 3 - Mind GCII works with Mind to drive for innovation in developing a cost effective, early support digital offering as part of Mind's supported self-help programme. The goal is to support Mind scale-up an existing successful programme it delivered in Wales. ## **Public benefit** When considering where to focus our attention, all our trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and what this means for sustainability of Great Causes II. ## **Grant making** Grants are made in accordance with charity law, our constitution, signed agreements, trustees agreement and the reliance of our primary donor for funding. In making grants, we endeavour to reflect the wishes our charity partners by directing funds towards areas they tell us are most in need with the biggest outcomes for the public benefit. During the period to 31 May 2023 grants totalling £88,200 were made. Page 1 ## Great Causes II ## Report of the Trustees for the Period 9 August 2022 to 31 May 2023 ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** It is the policy of GCII to only hold sufficient reserves so as to cover operating costs. GCII is currently dependent on trustees and their families for donations, one of whom has provided a committed statement on file to fund the day to day needs and further projects for the charity, for the foreseeable future. To ensure the sustainability of GCII going forward, work has begun to create an independent fund to provide capital and income. During the period, £103,667 was donated by the trustees and their families to cover the initial set up and ongoing administrative costs of the charity as well as grants made to the partner organisations. As at 31 May 2023, unrestricted funds held were £6,830. There are no restricted funds. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Charity number** 1200004 ## **Principal address** Longmoor Forest Road Pyrford GU22 8LU ## **Trustees** Mr R Lobo (appointed 9.8.22) Mr D Lobo (appointed 9.8.22) Mrs G Lobo (appointed 9.8.22) Ms C Daly (appointed 9.8.22) ## **Independent Examiner** Vanessa Cresswell Three Kings Accounting Ltd Suite 3 Dukes House 4-6 High Street Windsor Berkshire SL4 1LD Page 2 G￿8t Causes11 Re ort of the Trustees for the Period 9 Au ust 2022 10 31 Ma 2023 Appro rder of the board of trustees on 16 July 2023 and signed on its behalf by= Lobo- Truslee Page 3 Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Great Causes II ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Great Causes II** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Great Causes II (the Trust) for the period 9 August 2022 to 31 May 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
