Aeblevements and porformabee
The benefits for the children
Visiting theatre performances and trlps to the theatre
Thc perforniances teach th¢ children about the worl& about history, about geography, about people and emotions. The
perforn]an¢es promote empathy and help the children to undeTStand themselvcs alld othcrs. By cxpcricncing live theatre
the children can enhance their Creativity, imagination and undersLgnding of different perspectives and cmotions. The
experience of music, drama and live theatrc is not onc that thc Children usually experience. It is a very positive
experience that supports positive mental health and attitudes. The children join in and engage in a very inllnersivc
opportunity. The ¢hildren rarely, if ever, get to see live wforming arts atLd so these perforniances a wonderfi
opporttmity lo introducc tbdt magic into their lives.
Residenti21 group #rti￿ty holidays
The residential group activity holidays enable children with disabilities to ￿h]eve their true potential througb the
challenge of outdoor advctLturous ￿tivitieS in the countyside. The residential courses are individually dcsigncd to
promote education. inclusion, independence and self- motivation for thosc with even the most severe disabilities.
young person should experience the world beyond hom¢ and classroom 85 an essential part of learning and personal
d¢vclopment whatever their ability or cir¢umstanres. AC￿rdIng to research people with complex learning ne¢d5 are
more susceptible to emotional and mcntai health conditions than the rest of the population. The growing body of
evidence indicates that greater exposure to, or contact with natural environm¢nts and time spent on holiday is associat¢d
with better physical, social and emotional well- being.
Holldays
Caring for a child with special needs 18 an enormous responsibility and one taken gladly by the parents. How¢v¢r. a break
away means tlwt the family spend quality time togeth¢r bonding. resting and having some much n¢ed¢d fim. They get to
spend time away from their day to day Cares and worries.
Day trips
The children go to all sorts of wonderful venues such as theatres. wildlif¢ parks, theme parks and places of Trtiterest in
towns, cities and the countyside. These opportunities help to improve their social and communication skills. The
children rarely, if ever get day trips out and these are wonderful opportunities for them. Studies show that people with
diverse needs and abilities take part in f￿¢[ activities and participat¢ less frequently than those without diversity, and
they tend to have fewer fiiends.
These Opports￿1t1eS enable the children and their families to take part in an activity more often enjoyed by the wider
commuDÉty, thereby promoting social inclusion.
The Charity to date bas helped in excess of 414,000 children ￿rOsS the United Kingdom to attend many divcrse
attractions, to enable the children's lives to be more emiehed and that they have experienced somcthing positive that can
be built on towards their thture development. For many of the children il will bc a first time experience outside of their
nomjal cnvironment, wbich will bToad¢n their outlook and help inwov¢ th¢ir social skills.
We are very gratefid for the continued support in the coming year from various trusts, companies and individuals.
ar¢ determincd to reach as many childrcn as possible who need OUT hclp. We are pleased to hear positive feedback from
families and groups who have had faTnily breaks and outings. This helps us to evaluate the work we do and that we ¢aD
en5ll￿ that the types of activities undertaken are of ¥￿at benefit to the childreo not just with the immediatc effect but
with the longer tCTm benefit of renewcd strength of spiriL positivc well being, confidence and forward going thinking.
Happy Days is very kccn to benefit as many children from poor so¢io<conomic backgrounds and minority groups.
Iher¢by creating harmony and iutegration into tbe conunwiity.

Reserves policy
Reserves now stand at 6 months of expenditure. Th's is to ensure that the charity has sufficient funds in place to continue
its a¢tivity-
The clwity Iiad a surplus of £80,283 at the year end (2024 deficit- £1.639).
We wfflr pleased to receive an endowment of £200,0(K) from the Edward Gostling Fund lo be used on beneficiary
activity at £40,0￿ per year over 5 years.
Total incoming resources for the year ended 31sl March 2025 amoun*d to £1,076,124 (2024: £1,050,126). Total
payment and support costs for respite break family holidays and leisure time activities of £735,682 were expended durltig

£181,684 (2024: £252,663). Total restricted income was £563,913 of which £572,651 was expended during the year.
This left an unexpended balance of £82,730 at 31st March 2025 (2024: £91,468).
Happy Days is very dependent on i￿ome from the general public and business sector alike. Happy Days does noi benefit
from lo￿ government grants and is solely dependent on its own fimdraising.
The charity's fijnds have been applied as follows..
l. To provide funding towards Tesidential activity for groups of special needs ¢hildr¢n within the a¢¢q>ted cri*ri&.
2. To provid¢ day tripslgroup oulings to children within the accepied criteria.
To provide trips to performing arts productions and visitlng t1￿ perfornwices to children within the accepfrd
criteria.
4. To provide family day trips and family holidays for children within the accepted criteria.
5. To the rLmning c4)sts of the fan)ilies and day trips department which enables the above activity to take place.
6. To the costs of the Charity$ fimdraising activity and further expanding th¢ fun(]raising activity.
7. To pay for the nmning of ihe Charity.
8. To setting aside sufficient reserves which may be called upon in the eventuality of priority cases. or an emergency
such as the ￿ellt pandemic to continue its activity.
Future plans
The ch￿lty remains cautious in the pr¢s¢nt financial climate, but still hopes to help rnore children in the next year, and
will be seeking to gain new donors. This will help lo creale a steady income for the Charity. Happy Days is looking
fonvard to working with corpornte sponsors and grant making trusts and for many children to benefit &s a re5uIt.
The Charity intends to help groups of children who are suffering from life-limiting conditions by way of wondeLthI days
out in addition to the holidays presently undertaken.
The demand for help for ¢hildr¢n falling into the Charity's ￿l￿ria is ever on the increase. The Charity intends to
Continue its policy for incr&qsing the amount of day tripslgroup outings. The trustees wish to s¢e ¢hildren ben¢fiting
from inner city areas and minority groups and are keen to invite applications from such groups, thereby creating harniony
and integyation into the commutiity. The Charity wishes to ¢ncourage the refeTrals of families with children who bave
pecial needs on low incomeslin ￿elp1 of benefits to apply for assistance. We also wish to see the children benefiling
from the day trip activity to be more involved in the ach￿1 planning and evaluating of the trip activity.
It is felt ihat providing such acttvities for the children within the criteria stated, who are often in despair, will help
promote greater spiritual well being. This will encourage renewed energy and detem]ination to tackle the ongoing
situation or to continue to cope with tragic ¢]￿UMstances.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENf AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF

Opinion
Wc have audited the financial stakments of Happy Days Childrens Charity (the 'charitable ¢ompany') for the year ended
31 March 2025 which compise tbe Ststement of Finallcial Activities. the Statement of Financial Positio￿ the Statement

evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Coneluslons relating to gokng concern
In auditing the f￿anCIal statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in
the preparation of the fmancial statements is appropriat.
Based on the wod( we bave perfomied we have not identified any material un¢¢rtainties rel￿1n8 to ¢v¢nls or conditions
that, indiNrydually or ¢ollectiv¢ly. may cast significant doubt on the charitsble company's ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of al least twelve months from when the fjnancial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibililies and the responsibilits'es of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant

REPORT OF THE INDEPEIWENf AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
HAPPY DAYS CHILDRENS CHARITY
R¢spon$lbllltl¢s of trust¢es
As explained more fully in the Statement of Thistees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the
ch￿itable company for the pu4)oses of company law) are responsible for the PT¢paration of the financial statements and
for being satisfied that they give a ttue and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees detemiine is necessary
to enable the preparation of fllwicial statements that are free from n]aterial misstatemenL whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the f￿￿1¢181 statements, the trustees rt responsible for assessing the clwitable companls ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, rclatcd to going collccrn and using thc going concern basis
of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company OT to cease operations, or have no
rcalistiL altcrnative but kn do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial stalements
We have been appointed as auditors under Scction 144 of the ch￿ltieS Act 2011 and report in a¢cordance with the Act
and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain re&sonable assurdnce about whether the Imancial statcmcnts as a whole are free from
material misstaternent, whether due to fraud or error. and to issuc a Rewirt of the Tndependent Auditors thai includes our
opinion. Reasonable &ssurdnce is a higll level of aSSL￿anCe, but is not a guarante that an audit conducted in a¢¢oTdan¢c
with ISAS (UK) will always detsct a rnatcrial mtsstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered rnaterial if, inth'vidually or in the aggregate, they wuld rwonably be expected to infiuence the
e¢onomi¢ decisions of users taken on th¢ basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures aT¢ capable of detscling iTregularities, including fraud is d¢tsiled below:
We considered the nature of the Clwitable Companys sector and its control environment, and reviewed the Charitable
Company's documentation of their policies and procedures relatiog to fiaud and compliance with laws and regulations.
We also enquired of manageJn¢nt about their own identification and ￿eSsMent of the risks of irregLdarities.
We obtained an understsmditig of the legal and regulatory framework that the Charitable Company operate5 and
identifi¢d th¢ key laws and regulations that..
- had a direct effect on the determination of maierial amounts and disclosures in the financial stalements. These included
guidance from the UK Companies Act, and Charity Commission. and
- do not have a direct effect on the f￿anCIal statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Charitabl¢
Company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
We discussed among the audit engagement fram including relevant internal specialists such as tax specialists regarding
the oppottunities and incentives that may exist within the orgaDisation for fraud and how and where fraud might ocLur in
the fmancial statements.
In ¢ommon with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are also required to perform specific proccdures to respond to the risk of
managetllent Ov￿TIde. In addressing the risk of fraud through mandgement Ove￿ide of Controls, we tested th¢
appTopriatcness of journal entrics and other adjuslments; assesscd whether the judgements madc in making accounting
estimates are indicative of a potntial bias" and evaluated the business rationale of any significant tsansaclions that are
unusual or oulside die llOLillal course of business.
In addition to the above, ourprocedures to respond to thc risks identified included thc following:
- reviewing financial statemeni disclosurcs by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions
of relevimt laws and regulations described as having a direct effcct on the financial statements"
- ￿fOnnlng analyiical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpecied rclationships that may indicat¢ risks of material
misstatement due to fraud.
- enquiriDg of rnanagen]￿t concerning actL￿1 and potential litigation and Claims, and instances of non-cornpliance with
laws and regulations; and
- reading minuts of meetings of those charged witb governance, and reviewing
(￿reSpOndence with HMRC.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audil of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at www.fr¢.org.uklauditorsresp)nsibilities. This description fonns part of our Report of the
