SUTTON VISION REPORT FROM THE CHAIR FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 This year has been one of consolidation, resilience and community connection for Sutton Vision. In a challenging environment for small charities, we have focused on strengthening our foundations and maintaining the high quality of support that people with sight loss in Sutton rely on. Our priorty has been to ensure that every service we offer remains welcoming, person-centred and responsive to the needs of our community thanks to the dedication of our staff. volunteers and partners. Our social and peer-support activities continue to thrive, from our popular yoga and bowls sessions to new 'Community Cuppa, groups in Cheam and Wallington, which provide relaxed spa￿S for people to meet and share eXperien￿S. Volunteers remain at the heart of everything we dH)ffering time, energy and empathy that transfonn the lives of those we support. As one volunteer described it after helping on a recent outing. it felt like a family day out with laughter at every turn., These moments capture what Sutton Vision means to so many.. connection, belonging and mutual support. Our Low Vision Clinic remains a cornerstone of our work, providing specialist assessments, equipment and advi￿ for people adjusting to sight loss. We were pleased that our NHS commissioners confirmed continued funding through to 2026, recognising the clinic's quality and impact. We also continue to contribute to national learning through our involvement in the RNIB Eye Care Support Pathway pilot-helping to shape how emotional and practical support is embedded into eye care ServI￿S across the country. More than half our staff now have lived experience of sight loss, giving Sutton Vision an authenticity that runs through every conversation, group and servi￿. This insight has strengthened our digital inclusion work, our befriending programmes and our partnerships with local health and social care teams. Our impact is best seen through the stories of the people we support. Mr L, referred to Sutton Vision after a stroke left him with significant sight loss, received tailored help through our Low Vision Clinic, including aids to help him read again. He joined our Living with Sight Loss workshop and our Chartes Bonnet Syndrome support group and now contributes to local digital-ac￿$S testing-proof that with the right support, confidence and participation can be restored. As we look ahead to our 60th anniversary in 2025, our focus remains on sustaining and safeguarding the services our community depends on, diversfying our income, and continuing to be a trusted, welcoming space where everyone with sight loss can thrive.

The total number of such members at 31 st March 2025 was eight. The mernbers of the Executive Committee who served during the year are set out on page 2. The Executive Committee has overall responsibility for the strategic direction and governance of the charity. Day-to-day matters are delegated to the charrty's General Operations Manager. The General Operations Manager is not a member of the Executive Committee. RISK MANAGEMENT The members of the Executive Commtttee have examined the major strategic, business, and operational risks which the charity fa￿S and confimi that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be prodU￿d so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. In line with our Safeguarding policy, all staff, volunteers and Trustees have received training on their safeguarding responsibilities as they relate to Sutton Vision and those we serve. Training is renewed annually. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES To promote and improve the welfare of blind and partially sighted persons resident in the administrative area of the London Borough of Sutton. Core services are provided to ensure the needs of blind and partially sighted people in the London Borough of Sutton are met. These core ServI￿S include: Information and advi Low Vision Clinic . Social and educational activities Digital Inclusion and Assistive Technology seniice . Access to equipment through our Technology Resource Hub Early intervention support at St Heller Hospital (Eye Clinic Liaison Officer- ECLO) Health and Wellbeing sepdices including befriending, home visits and workshops. . Peer support groups and network STRATEGIC REPORT ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE During the year 2024125, we reached 159 new beneficiaries and overall, we helped 429 unique beneficiaries. We further developed our impact measurement during the year continuing to use the Visually impaired Outcomes Stars but also adding newly developed tools to measure the impact on the health, wellbeing and Independen￿ of the people who use regularly use our services. A narrative providing performance of 2024125 is provided below: 1.Outreach and Community work Our Outreach and community work enables us to increase awareness of our sep4ices and support across the whole communty. l+Vhilst the nature of many sight loss conditions mean that our service users are predominantly older people, we continue to broaden the demographic of our service users helping people of working age access support to maintain or gain employment and supporting people to claim the disability benefits they are entitled to- this has been particularly important as the cost of living crisis has continued to adversely affect people with sight loss.

Outreach events and activities included three living with sight loss workshops, three community events and two awareness talks. We provided support to 117 individuals", etther in people's own homes, over the telephone, or at our offices. During the year we carried out 241 one-to-one appointments, handling benefits, blue badge applications, technology support and general queries and signposting people to other relevant support and services. Over double the number of appointments from the previous year. °The Outreach officer has helped me to sort out my Access to Worf(, from start to finish, he has been such a great help as I was unsure how to initiate the process. he helped me by filling in the fom7 online for us to review together making sure all infonnation cO￿eCt. byrthout his help I doubt I would still have a job" 2.Social groups and Peer to Peer support Our social groups and activities provide opportunities for people to connect with others, take up new interests and help reduce isolation and loneliness. As with all our services we design and deliver our activities with the involvement and participation of people living with sight loss. We have sought feedback and ideas for new activities through follow-up calls made by our volunteers and with a wrttten survey circulated with Contact magazine. We have continued to respond to the needs identified by people with sight loss by establishing a wider range of peer support opportunities including an audio book club, crossword group and have increased the sports and physical activity groups. This has included developing a partnership with a local bowls club to provide both indoor and outdoor bowls sessions and approaching a Zurnba teacher to set up specially designed audio described exercise classes for people with visual impairment. We have also established our new "community cuppas" _ local peer support groups run on a drop-in basis at cafes in different parts of the borough, increasing accessibility for people who struggle with travelling to our centre and who want to meet other people with sight loss informally. This year we have again offered a series of supported group trips and excursions including transport and sight guided visits to Hampton Court Palace, Kew Gardens, Paws on the Imiarf and Epsom Playhouse. In total, we organised 322 separate group sessions and outings, compared to 242 the previous year, covering over 2,000 attendan￿s. This registers a significant 21 % increase in group sessions. "Just to say that l am always amazed at the huge range of activities that SV undertakes - and the detailed Newsletter this moming will give everyone something to look fO￿ard to in the New Yeart. 3. Digitsl Inclusion. Assistive Technology and Resource Hub People who are blind or partially sighted are twi￿ as likely to be digitally excluded than members of the general population, meaning that they are less likely to be able to find the best money saving deals, choose the cheapest options or access online sources of information and support. The increasing digitalisation of services, information and support continues to isolate many people with sight loss who are less likely to have the s￿'11S and knowledge to get online and stay online. Our Assistive Technology Co-ordinator helps people get set up on, and use smartphones. tablets, and computers by accessing helpful features such as voiceover, screen reading and magnification. This year, we carried out 113 one-to-one tech support sessions over the phone. in homes or in our Resource Hub (across 102 beneficiaries as often more than one session was required} and another 140 interventions for general advice. Our Resource Hub enables people to test out laptops, mobile phones. and other smart devi￿8 specifically designed to improve day-to-day living. We hold regular demonstration days for our beneficiaries to come and test out the latest in technology and equipment.

1. Low Vision Clinic (LVC) Our Low Vision Clinic (LVC) offers our beneficiaries an appointment with our optometrist who will assess sight capabilities and prescribe visual and reading aids as required. There is also an opportunity to meet with a Rehabilitation Officer from the Sensory Impainnent Team to address any concems and support with sight-related difficulties. including managing at home and mobility training. The LVC service is self-referral (no GP referral required); however, individuals must be diagnosed with low vision by an optometrist and live within the London Borough of Sutton. Over the year we carried out 22 in-person clinics and we also supported 16 beneficiaries with domiciliary and remote appointments., in total we supported 119 beneficiaries including 68 new referrals. We issued 211 pieces of visual aid equipment, predominantly magnifiers. 5.Early intervention and Eye Clinic support at St Heller Hospital Our Eye Clinic Liaison Officer works at both St Heller Hospital and at our Sutton Vision office and offers information, practical and emotional support to anyone attending the eye clinic. Over the year. they have provided support to 156 people diagnosed with a sight loss condition (of which 140 were in-person).
2. Befriending and Volunteer support Using our team of dedicated volunteers, we kept in contact with our Servi￿ users with weekly telephone calls, supporting people on our trips and outings, accompanying people on walks, and meeting for a coffee and chat. We had 30 beneficiaries who received weekly or fortnightly befriending calls and visits during the year. Overall, we caThied out 1,378 calls and visits, a 260k increase on the year 2023124. In the year, we managed to increase our volunteer support to 45 people who help to run our social and activity groups and providing administrative support. Around half of our volunteers have a visual impairment themselves and the peer support they offer is invaluable to our service users.
3. Fundraising This year we received £66,308 of new one-off grants through Trust and Foundations. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Operating loss for the year was £5,948 {2024 - surplus £3,203). The Charity had a surplus for the year of £78,429 (2024 - surplus £5,444) after the Exceptional income. INVESTMENT POLICY The charity does not have a formal investment policy. It endeavours to obtain the best possible retum on its investments and cash balances.

RESERVES POLICY Introduction This reserves policy outlines Sutton Vision's approach to managing and allocating reserves. including endowment funds, to ensure financial stability and sustainability in fulfilling our mission. Purpose of the Reserves Policy The purpose of this policy is to: Define the types of reseNes and funds held by the charity. Ensure that the charity has sufficient funds to meet its obligations and support ongoing operations. Provide transparency and accountabilty to stakeholders regarding the charity's financial management. Types of Reserves 1. Unrestricted Reserves Definition: Funds that are freely available for use in the charity's operations. The charity aims to maintain a minimum of 6 months of unrestricted reserves to cover operational costs. These reserves are intended to protect against the Un￿rtaintY of fundraising from grants and foundations, from inflation and cost of living increases, from potential recruitment and redundancy costs, as well as some unforeseen overheads. 2. Restricted Reserves Definition: Funds designated for specific purposes by donors or grantors. These reserves will only be used for their intended purpose as specified by the donors. 3. Designated Reserves Definition: Funds set aside by the trustees for specific future projects or expenses that Gould not be met from future income. These are currently put aside for the following specific purposes; To ensure continuity in funding for the Low Vision Clinic For estate matters such as site development or property relocation The board will review designated reserves annually to ensure alignment with the charity's strategic goals. 4. Endowment Funds Definition: Donations that are invested to generate income while preserving the principal amount. The income generated from endowment funds will be used for core seniices such as social groups, assistive technology, events and trips, while the principal remains intact. Investment Strategy: Endowment funds will be managed according to a conservative investment strategy to balance risk and return, ensuring long-term growth. Reserves Strategy The charity will conduct an annual assessment of its financial position and reserves to ensure they meet operational and strategic needs. Unrestricted and designated reserves may be invested in low-risk financial instruments to generate additional income while preserrfing capital. Spending Policy Unrestricted Reserves: The charity may draw on unrestricted reserves to cover operational shortfalls, with prior approval from the board. Restricted Reserves: Funds will be spent according to donor stipulations and will not be reallocated. Designated Reserves: Expenditure up to £10,000 in any one year from designated reserves can be approved by the finance sub-committee. expenditure above £10,000 in any one financial year must be approved by the Trustees. All spend must align with strategic priorities. Endowment Funds: The board will determine the appropriate income generated by endowment funds to be spent annually6ensuring the sustainabiltty of the fund.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE 1. Financial sustainability We plan to invest in, and to continue the development of fundraising channels outside of Trusts and Foundations. To help achieve success and focus we have commissioned a report into the development of fundraising activities beyond 2025. The report will focus on the areas that have been identified for development, include: Community and individual giving income streams" Legacy funding inttiatives; Fundraising through third party events; Corporate partnerships primarily from those based in Sutton. In addition to the above, we will continue to apply for grants with Trusts and Foundations, some of which are regular supporters of Sutton Vision and have provided multi-year grant support. 2. Activities All our activities are led by the needs of our beneficiaries. We continually engage with them in the development of new activities and support servI￿s. Our Service User Advisory Group is a key mechanism to ensure lived experien￿ is at the heart of all that we do. As part of our new strategy development our service users told us that our core ser41￿S are critical in supporting and enabling their daY-t￿daY living. We will therefore continue to develop and evolve our existing sep4ice offer. To help address eye health education we ran our first information session this year to coincide wrth national eye health week. We undertook an evaluation of the day and plan to include further eye health education work in our activities based on the feedback we re￿ived. We are developing more informal peer support opportunities rather than running fomial 'support groups" and the groups we are running (such as our glaucoma group) include information talks and relaxed opportunities for people to chat with one another aftenvards. We plan to extend our Living with Sight Loss workshops to reach more people newly diagnosed with sight loss and will be producing publicity materials and promoting these to newly diagnosed patients at the Eye Unit and to newly registered partially sighted and blind people through our Eye Clinic Liaison Officer and the Local Authority Sensory Impairment Team. We have piloted 1.1 digital skills support through a volunteer with relevant IT teaching experience and this has fonned part of our new project funded by the National Lottery starting in January 2025. We have piloted additional physical activity groups (including bowls and Zumba) and are planning a walking group. We will continue to explore more opportunities for people to be physically active by developing new partnerships with sports and leisure providers in the borough and seek project funding to enable us to develop a full programme of activities. Our future strategy will follow the Sutton Vision strategy of "Towards 2030.. We will continue to develop core existing ser41￿S but also identify potential areas of unmet need such as: Employability: Supporting visually impaired people (aged 18- 40 years old) into or back into employment. Psychological support: Beyond well-being, additional mental health support ServI￿S Children's servi￿. Taking a life course approach to vision impairment in Sutton. Advocacy: Extend our existing advocacy to include prevention materials, support, and information.

1. Organisation Structure and Management We identified the need to have a succession plan for Trustees and recruit more Trustees with lived experien￿. Despite engaging a professional recruiter in this area. we have not managed to find new Trustees, and therefore we plan to continue our efforts in the coming year and beyond. We plan to use our sight advisory group and local contacts to help Sour￿ potential Trustees with lived experien￿.
