TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of The Lighthouse, Attleborough ('the Charity') for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law.

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

The objectives of the Charity are to relieve sickness and financial hardship, to promote and preserve good healthy provisions of funds, goods or services of any kind, including the provision of counselling and support; to advance education in accordance with Christian principles by such means as the Trustees may consider appropriate by means of establishing and operating any educational establishment(s); to provide community facilities for recreational and other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare for persons who have need by reason of their youth, poverty or social and economic circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life in Attleborough, Norfolk and in such parts of the UK or world as the Trustees may from time to time see fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the Charity.

Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
This year has seen the continued growth and impact of our charity, with each group playing a pivotal role in supporting our community.
Sparklers has continued to offer a consistent and welcoming space for parents and toddlers, with growing attendance and heartfelt feedback from families who value the safe, joyful environment - some even travelling significant distances to join us. A key milestone this year was hosting our first ever Christmas Sparklers session at The Lighthouse Centre, providing festive activities that helped families feel comfortable in the new space and strengthened the sense of connection within the wider community.
During its opening trial period, the Lighthouse Education Book Club supported 8 children, fostering measurable gains in confidence, particularly for those with additional educational needs who overcame their fear of reading aloud. Several children also expressed joy in having a consistent, caring 1:1 adult alongside them.
Ignite Youth Project made 660 encounters and supported more than 65 individuals through Friday night Detached work, alongside strong engagement in Ignite Drama, where young people regularly attended weekly sessions, performances, and our annual awards evening. A new partnership with Christ Community Church in Attleborough has also been established to strengthen local youth provision through a joint programme at Attleborough Academy.
The Light Café has continued to grow as a supportive weekly space for individuals experiencing poor mental or physical health, with most attendees referred through the NHS or Social Services. A consistent group has formed, engaging in sessions on relaxation, self-reflection, trust building, communication, and empathy. Alongside creative activities and shared lunches, these sessions have strengthened relationships and increased confidence and social connection among participants.
Treasures has grown to support 137 local senior citizens through twice-monthly coffee mornings, seasonal events, and regular newsletters and doorstep deliveries. These activities have helped reduce isolation and build strong peer support networks, with several members gaining confidence and renewed social connection. A new intergenerational visit with pupils from Aurora supported-needs school was a successful addition, creating meaningful interaction across generations.
The Foodbank has seen continued growth in demand over the year, supporting an estimated 415 individuals through emergency food provision and practical assistance. Clients consistently highlight the warm, supportive environment created by volunteers, with feedback reflecting appreciation not only for the food offered but also for the personal care and welcome they receive. Attendance increased notably in the latter months of the year, demonstrating the Foodbank’s ongoing role as a reliable and valued community service.
The Table Tennis Club has continued to grow, now welcoming over 20 participants each week following its move to the Lighthouse Centre. The expansion from two to four tables has increased capacity and improved the quality of the sessions. Feedback from participants highlights the value of the club in offering connection, enjoyment, and a supportive community atmosphere.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The total funds of the Charity were £33,736 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £28,206) . Free reserves, being unrestricted funds not represented by fixed assets were £20,049 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £10,087) .
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain appropriate to the Charity’s needs. A formal policy on reserves has been agreed which states that the reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that The Lighthouse, Attleborough’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty and has been set at £12,000 which would cover 2 months running costs. This is based on the Charity’s size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the Charity can continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure.
The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. We are grateful to the 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust, King Charles Community Fund, Simon Gibson Trust, Allen Lane Foundation, Attleborough Parish Charities, Souter Charitable Trust, The Co-Op Local Community Fund (along with other gifts) has contributed to the work of the Charity in the last financial year.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Lighthouse, Attleborough is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Lighthouse, Attleborough ('the Charity')
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
