Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2024. 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 charity's objects are restricted specifically to the relief of sickness and the preservation of health by assisting in the treatment and care of persons suffering from mental or physical illness, in particular but not exclusively Huntington's disease, by the provision of funds, promoting research, making grants to other organisations with similar purposes and other such support as the trustees see fit.
Public benefit
As Trustees we consider we have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and the trustees ensure that they carry out their charities aims for the public benefit. The charity's public benefit is detailed below in our fundraising and activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising & Activities
After the success of several events raising now over £250,000 we continued our fundraising efforts with the Do It For Dom 2024 "Adventure Challenge".
On Thursday 20th June 2024, an event, an 'It's a Knockout meets Old School Sports Day' was held at Sedgebrook Hall in Northampton. The event was a stroll down memory lane, an old school sports day with a twist. The day included carefully crafted sports activities catered to all skill levels including egg & spoon, wheel barrow race, assault course and a 'foam attack obstacle challenge'.
Attended by over 80 people, representing all roles within the estate and letting industry as well as associated supplier network, ranging from sales negotiators, valuers and business development managers to software developers, family business owners, regional company directors, and PLC CEOs.
With the generous support from the headline sponsor IAM Property and platinum sponsor Rightmove, we raised around £54,000 with the event costing around £15,000 to host.
We have no specific event planned for 2025 but will continue raising funds through smaller events during the year.
In November 2023 the Charity donated £25,000 to the Huntington's Disease Association along with a further £30,000 donated in November 2024.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Do It For Dom Limited
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Do It For Dom Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
