Accessibility & Governance

Accessibility and governance are paramount to us as a charity supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer.

Accessibility
ensures that our services and information are available to all families, regardless of their circumstances. When providing access to the services we offer it's important to ensure equal and accessible opportunity. Accessibility breaks down barriers and empowers families to fully engage with our services.

Please see the Accessibility Statement below.

Governance provides the essential framework for our charity's operations. It ensures transparency, accountability, and the effective use of resources. Strong governance safeguards the interests of children and families, builds trust with donors, and enables us to make informed decisions that drive positive impact.

By prioritizing both accessibility and governance, we create an environment where every child and family affected by childhood cancer feels supported, valued, and empowered to participate fully in our mission.

 

As a registered charity, all activity by The James Anthony Foundation is carried out under the guidance of, and in accordance with the Charity Commission. For further details please see the Charity Commission website.
