Charity trustees
Objectives and activities
Love Po SCIO is a charity which donates gifts and experiences to those living with cancer; either currently receiving cancer treatment or received it in the last 12 months. The aim of the gifts and experiences is to put a smile on their face during a difficult time.
Love Po allows eligible individuals to apply for gifts and experiences that suit them from the convenience of their own homes. Applicants can apply for:
-
Wee Gifts - Typically something small such as beauty vouchers or something to be enjoyed at home every two months. These gifts go to the first eligible person who applies.
-
Big Gifts - Includes weekend breaks etc every six months. This allows everyone a fair chance of getting what they want and allows the charity time to refresh our offering and source great new gifts and experiences.
Love Po SCIO and friends of Love Po raise funds for the charity to operate through a variety of means. This could be through bake sales, raffles at events and various sponsored activities. These funds are used to purchase gifts and experiences that eligible individuals can request through our website and cover the operating costs of the charity.

Trustee recruitment and appointment
The current trustees are all individuals with the charities purpose close to their heart. Each of our trustees have a blend of different skills and experience which the charity benefits from. Their stewardship has allowed Love Po SCIO to have a successful first year and help a number of families whose lives have been impacted by cancer.

Basis of independent My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts

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, | do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
