Achievements and performance

ofthe charity during the financial
period

AttheRoyalHospitalforChildren inGlasgowwithinthefinancialyear105familieshaveaccessedHamish
Dear'sWarm Hugs, this isanincrease in7 familiescompared tothelastfinancialyearwherethecharity
alreadysawa significantincrease inapplications—thereforethenumberofapplicationsreceivedthisyear
has remained considerably high. 17 familiesaccess the giftvouchersfordays out accessiblefromYoung
Lives vs Cancer Social Work.
86 families applied for gifts, and 20 families have accessed funding for

short breaks, the number of gift applications has increased by a further 6 applications and the number of
short break applications has increased by 7 applications.

At the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital, 26 families accessed the charity within the financial year, this

is a decrease of7 families compared to the last financial year. 9 families have actessed gift vouchers for
days out, 11 families also applied forfunding towards a short break and 16 familiés applied for gifts— this
is a decrease in applications for the area
At the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, 62 families accessed the charity within the financial


year. This isdecrease in 17 families.
10 families accessed gift vouchers for daysout accessible from the

Young LivesvsCancer SocialWorker'swhich isadecrease in numberoffamiliesaccessing this provision
At this time we have had contact with the social work team about the use the vouchers — which remains
available to children with cancer and receiving treatment at this hospital.
26 families applied for funding


towards a short break
, and 49 families applied for gifts which again is a reductidn in applications. That
said,10 families did apply on more than one occasion for gifts
in total, within the financial year 2024-2025a total of 193 families accessed support from Hamish Dear’s
Warm Hugs. Whilst this is adecrease of 16 familiescompared tothe previous year,the number offamilies
accessing the charity remains high — given the significant increase the previous year.
As a result of the
high demand on the charity and less funding being received within the past financial year, the overall
amount familiescan accesswas reduced at the start ofMay 2025 to £300 per short break application and

£300 per gift application — with a total a family can access being £600 per year.
The social work teams
who we liaise with were supportive of this decision.
Overall, the charity considef that this decision will
allow us to continue to support all applications received going forward
Financial review
Briefstatement ofthe charity’s policy The charity does not operate with reserves; all finances afe unrestricted
on reserves
funds available to spend. However, trustees have agreed that should the
bank balance fall below £30,000 then the charity will discuss measures
that can be implemented to ensure that families can continue to access
the charity, as well as being proactive with fundraising ideas and access
funding available toensure continuity ofthe charitable activities available.
Details ofany deficit Within the financial yearthere has been a deficitof£15,411. Trusteesmet
in February and April to specifically discuss the charity accounts, noting
that the income for the charity within this financial year wag significantly
less than the previous year. Thiswas therefore monitored in meetingsand

continues to be discussed. Whilst therewas a deficit the charity continues
to have an adequate income and positive bank balance to support the
charities main activities.
