## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Respite. Adventure. Empowerment.** 

The Jasper King Trust (JKT) was set up to make a real difference to families affected by a cancer diagnosis. The JKT raises money to fund family breaks, either on the Isle of Eigg or at Harvest Moon, Lochhouses, East Lothian, as a way of supporting those families, at a point when they feel their world is closing in around them. 

JKT aims to create a lasting legacy in Jasper’s name, helping to create positive memories and experiences for families, and helping to build self confidence and self-esteem in some places which held special significance for Jasper, his wife Sharon, his family and friends. 

Please support us if you can with donations and fund-raising events. Any amount is generous and gratefully received. 

Jasper King was a talented, funny, kind and loving man: husband, family man and friend. He spent his working life touring the world with popular street theatre company ‘The Chipolatas’, bringing clowning and music to over 44 countries for over 25 years. 

Jasper died at the age of 44 on 3rd April 2015 from Stage 4 lung cancer. His wife Sharon King cared for Jasper during the three years of his illness and was also diagnosed herself with Stage 2a breast cancer in 2013. 

The landscapes and communities of Eigg and Lochhouses inspired and nourished Jasper and his family during his life and his illness. The JKT is set up to offer respite, adventure and empowerment for families who would benefit from similar nourishment and inspiration during difficult times. 

set up the JKT with a group of friends to create a lasting and positive legacy in Jasper’s name, by offering support to other families in crisis. In 2021 Sharon stepped down from the board of trustees and her and Jasper’s daughter took over as chairperson. 



## **Structure, governance and management** 

Type of governing document 

The Charity is an unincorporated association. It is governed by its constitution which was adopted on and last amended on 18th May 2017. The charity was granted charitable status by OSCR on 30 August 2017. 

Trustee recruitment and appointment 

Trustees are taken from a diverse pool of talented people with skills in areas relating to Jasper’s life. We welcome applications to become a Trustee. Trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees through a unanimous vote. 



Achievements and performance
The charity has now provided 34 families with much needed rest and
relaxation at a time of stress and pain in their lives. In the financial year
2024-2025 five more families experienced some of the beautiful places
Jasper loved, finding the sarne relief and comfort in their beauty.
We have collated feedback from families following their stay at Harvest Moon
and feel it captures the ethos of The Jasper King Trust.
"Prior to the holiday we felt a bit physically and mentally drained by all the
hospital treatments and related diagnoses. Whilst away we spent time with
Sinead firman capturing precious memories. The holiday left us revitalised.
JKT family June 2024
"I'd finished chemo about one month before the holiday, still feeling the side
effects and feeling constrained and bound to the city. I had been craving time
away to be in nature since I started treatment. The holiday gave me that
space I'd been needing"
JKT laiiiily Scptenibci 2024
"Before the holiday we were feeling pretty scared and oveNihelmed, a lot of
things had happened in a short time with no break. Our time with
meant a lot as we don't have many family pictures of us all together.
was wonderful and the setting was so relaxed and picturesque"
JKT family June 2024

## **Financial review 2024-2025** 

The trust ends the financial year with a healthy amount of funds. As our funds have been healthy for the last couple of years, we have focussed on providing holidays to families rather than fundraising. The board of trustees is excited to aim to offer six holidays in the coming year 2025-26. 

The board of Trustees works closely with Maggie’s Centres In Edinburgh, who signpost families to us; Harvest Moon, who are our holiday accommodation provider and and photographers who provides ever lasting memories of the holidays to families.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Jasper KingTrust** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended April 2024 – March 2025 which are set out on the following pages. 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
