To support the relief of sickness and preservation of health, the charity provides or assists in the provision of equipment, medication, facilities and services intended to improve the wellbeing, comfort and treatment experience of people affected by cancer and brain tumours. This support may be delivered directly or through grants to hospitals, hospices, support organisations and other appropriate bodies working with patients and families. Where relevant, support may also extend to families and carers where this contributes to improved outcomes or wellbeing for the person affected.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
To promote research for the public benefit, the charity supports and funds research projects focused on improving understanding, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours, particularly DIPG. The charity works with established research institutions, clinicians and research organisations to ensure that supported research is credible, ethically governed and capable of delivering meaningful public benefit. The charity seeks to ensure that the useful results of research it supports are disseminated appropriately, so that knowledge gained can benefit patients, clinicians, researchers and the wider public.
In carrying out these activities, the trustees aim to ensure that support is directed towards genuine need, that any private benefit is incidental and proportionate, and that activities are aligned with the charity’s objects.
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when exercising their powers and duties and when planning and reviewing the charity’s activities.
