|Summary of the purpose of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|**The charity exists to support children**
**and young people undergoing cancer**
**treatment, with a partcular focus on**
**those with Autsm Spectrum Disorder**
**(ASD), and their families. We provide**
**both fnancial and practcal assistance**
**to help alleviate some of the**
**challenges associated with treatment**
**and hospitalisaton. This support**
**includes the provision of**
**entertainment and wellbeing**
**packages (now known as Bundles of**
**Fun) and, where needed, food**
**vouchers to assist families**
**experiencing fnancial hardship.**|
|Summary of the main
actvites in relaton to those
purposes for the public
beneft, in partcular, the
actvites, projects or
services identfed in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|**During this year the charity contnued**
**to support children and young people**
**undergoing cancer treatment,**
**partcularly those with Autsm, and**
**their families. Alongside providing**
**direct support, we focused on**
**increasing public awareness of the**
**charity’s work and strengthening**
**fundraising eforts to ensure the**
**contnued delivery of our service.**
**We received and fulflled 48 referrals**
**for our entertainment and wellbeing**
**packages (Bundles of Fun). These**
**packages were designed to provide**
**comfort, distracton and enjoyment**
**for children during periods of**
**treatment and hospitalisaton. In**|
**addition, food vouchers were provided to families experiencing financial hardship as a result of their child’s illness and treatment. Feedback received from recipients of both our packages and vouchers programme was overwhelming and very positive, demonstrating the value of this support in reducing stress and improving wellbeing during difficult circumstances. The charity also continued its annual Christmas initiative, offering children spending the festive period in hospital the opportunity to write letters to Santa. Each child received a personalised reply together with a small gift. During this year, 48 children of varying ages participated in the scheme, helping to bring comfort, joy and a sense of normality during what can be a particularly challenging time for families. During the year, we began developing a new “Comfort Kit” initiative for parents whose child is receiving palliative or end-of-life care. The purposed kits will contain practical and supportive items for families facing the possibility of a transfer to a hospice or an extended hospital stay. This initiative was inspired by the lived experience of the charity founders and aims to provide comfort, guidance and practical assistance to families during exceptionally difficult circumstances. We also commenced planning, in partnership with a local motorcycle group, to deliver sensory toys to children undergoing treatment during the Easter period. This project aims to provide additional comfort and engagement for children in hospital and will further extend the charity’s**
|||**support services in the coming year.**
**We as a charity have expanded its**
**range of practcal support by sourcing**
**materials and producing specialised IV**
**drip covers for children receiving**
**chemotherapy, blood transfusions and**
**platelet treatment. These covers are**
**designed to conceal the contents of IV**
**bags, helping to reduce anxiety and**
**distress for children who may fnd**
**medical procedures and visible**
**treatment equipment intmidatng. By**
**providing a source of comfort during**
**treatment, they contribute to a more**
**positve hospital experience for**
**children undergoing treatment.**
**In conclusion with healthcare**
**professionals on paediatric oncology**
**wards, the charity also identfed a**
**need to support parents and carers**
**who are unexpectedly admited to**
**hospital with their child and may not**
**have had the opportunity to pack**
**essental personal items. In response,**
**we have begun developing emergency**
**parent support bags containing**
**practcal items such as toothbrushes,**
**fannels, comforts socks, toiletries,**
**puzzles books. Colouring material and**
**other every day essentals. These aim**
**to alleviate some of the practcal and**
**emotonal pressures experienced by**
**families during hospital admissions,**
**ensuring that both parents and**
**children receive additonal support at**
**what can be an extremely challenging**
**tme.**|
