CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2024 &iw DaylightFelebrate its 201h anniVe￿ary, which provth uswith an opportunity to look to the future
and make co
nectÈons. We began the year by finalising the rebrand which sought to set Daylight up
for a new era. And we marked our anniversary by sending a gfft box to every prison chaplaincy in the UK.
The* gift boxes contained gifts for the chaplains, as well as free gospel resources and infomiation about
our work. We comlnissioned the publication of 'Lefs stsrt from here, and partnered with Tum The Page
and Ihe Gocxl News Broadcasting Asswat1(￿.
We also offered p
$0rn8 the opporbjnity to tske advantage of free (to them) perfonT￿ceS by Songs of the
Folk and of '1 AM MARK by Stefan SmafL Seven prisons took up that opportunlty during the summer,
leading to Coverage in the national Christian press, induthng cornm￿ts from prisoners such as: "This is
one of the darkest. laces on earth, and whatyou've brought today is light. We badly need the light..
The annNersary gi
boxes also led to a significant iThxease in demand ￿ our letter writing ministry. At the
beginnlng of the y
ar, 25 prisoners were in correspondence with one of our letter writern: by the end ofthe
year, this had rfsen to 76. In addilion, the demarKI for our written messages increased substantialty this
year. We give thanks to God for these new Gonneclions arKI trust Htm to be at work as the gospel is
shared.
Our CEO has
rked on many occaSi￿S this year that in God's kindness, prisons appear to be a very
fertile haNest-fiel
at presenl. As we seek to serve faithfully as Worke￿ in that harvest-field, we are
indebted to the many volunteers who gNe of their time and energy to minister in prisons. As a Board we
wish to record our Ihanks to them. Some of those volunteers were recognised towards the end of the year
with an HMPPS V
lunteer Team of the Year Award in the Faith & Belief Support Category.
During the past yerr, we have continued to see God faithfully provide for us- both financially and in tem
of manpower wrth an addition to our office team. As we contsnue to pursue the strategy adopted by the
Board in 2023, we,are seeking to expend significant amounts of our reserves into gospel ministy. trusting
that the Lord will continue to bless us Into 2025 and WorKI.
This year was als
one of change for us as a Board. In June, Alan Hare stepped down as ChaimTrn in
order to focus his
the Chair. At our fi,
ergies on serving as Treasurer. I was honoured to step inlo his large shoes and take
al meeting of the year, John Little stepped down after serving the B¢)ard faithfully for
fve years. We are
rateful for his inpu( and are glad that he will continue to se￿e the Lord through Daylight
in prisons in the north-east.
2024 also saw us take some Important steps in our governar￿.
A focused advertislng campaign enabled us to app￿t two new trustees in December, with more scheduled
to joln us in 2025.1
Risk management wa8 devolved to our trustse panels, leading to a much robust risk register.
Tnstees agreed IPt Dayligm should become a Chaiilable InCorp￿atsd Organisation (CIO) and to that
end approved a nff￿ ¢onststutson and applicknn to the Charity Commission.
As we look back on our first 20 years and look ahead to the next season of Daylighfs life, we say with the
hymn-writer. We'll praise Him for all that is pasL and trust Him for al thafs to come.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's

It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (undersection 145 of the Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General
irections given by the Charity
Commissioners (under section 145 (5)(b) of the Act)., and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commlssioners. 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 seeking
explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and,
consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view"
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examlner's Statement, report and opinion
In connection with rny examination, I can confirm that -
1) in accordance with Re
2008, the accounts of t
ulation 31 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
Is Incorporated charity are not required to be audited under Part 16

Act 2011 and in accordance with any directions given by the Commission under that
section which are applicable., and
3) no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me
reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and.,
that the financial statements be prepared in accordance with the methods and principles
set out in the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
have not been met., or
to which, in myopinion, attention should be drawn in my report in orderto enable a proper
understanding of the accountsto be reached.
