  1. The provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation in the interest of social welfare with the object of improving the conditions of life of people with Down Syndrome, their families and carers.

These objects shall be primarily undertaken in the Metropolitan District of Leeds and the surrounding area.

The charity's main activities

Sunshine and Smiles is a support network for children and young people who have Down Syndrome, and their families, in Leeds and the surrounding areas.

We aim to improve the lives and opportunities for children and young people with Down Syndrome.

We offer speech and language therapy, regular groups and activities, individual support and advocacy for families, as well as raising awareness and challenging preconceptions in the wider community.

We are able to achieve this by establishing links with hospitals, health and education professionals and connecting with other related charities.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and we feel that our services and the objects of our organisation are beneficial in the following respects:

Reducing social isolation by providing a network of support and friendship for children and young people who have Down Syndrome, and their families

Strengthening families by offering advice and support at times of stress and difficulty

Improving outcomes for children and young people with Down Syndrome by offering therapeutic support such as speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and early development support

Promoting community and social cohesion by facilitating activities and services that bring children and young people with Down Syndrome, and their families, together

Improving other services and raise awareness of issues relating to Down Syndrome by advocating on behalf of children and young people with Down Syndrome and their families

Promoting inclusion and accessibility by endeavouring to provide all of our activities and services free of charge to children and young people with Down Syndrome and their families

Increasing sensitivity and awareness to ‘difference’, to augment the spectrum of what is perceived as ‘normal’ and broaden horizons of all

Maximising the potential of people with Down Syndrome to ensure they can best participate in, and contribute, including economically, to the wider society

Maximising the potential and development of people with Down Syndrome so as to encourage their inclusion into the wider society, to minimise their dependence on their families of origin and wider society

In these ways the charity promotes equality and social inclusion for people with disabilities.

Achievements and performance

Over the past year we have run regular group activities as follows: Weekly Mondays from 10.30am – 12pm – 0–3 year olds group.

Fortnightly Saturdays – 2 x creative sessions for children aged 2–18 years. Fortnightly Saturdays – 2 x music classes for children aged 2–18 years.

Monthly Mondays, Saturdays or Sundays – 23 x speech and language sessions plus Makaton Baby Sign groups.

Fortnightly Wednesdays – cricket sessions for young people aged 12-25 Fortnightly Saturdays – Family Swim Sessions with taught lessons for 16 children - when possible. Fortnightly Sundays – Football Sessions for children aged 4–16 years.

Weekly online yoga sessions for young people aged 16+. Fortnightly online karaoke sessions for young people aged 10+.

Half termly youth group activities such as bowling, climbing & trampolining.

The groups offer children opportunities to make new friends and socialise and at the family sessions siblings also get the chance to socialise and make friends. Parents and carers also have the opportunity to meet each other and share experiences and make supportive friendships.

There are a variety of activities for the children: musical instruments, paints, soft play, water play, tactile play, early developmental activities and support, singing and Makaton signing, movement and imagination play plus our speech and language therapy sessions. Parents are able to gain support and advice from other parents. We provide healthy snacks and drinks for the children, parents and carers.

We held our annual celebration late 2025 – this was a wonderful celebration with over 300 people in attendance.

We have a private Facebook group and a public page where people can share experiences and ask advice from other parents and carers. We also have links with the Child Development Centres and are often asked to meet with, or be available to, new parents who have a baby with Down Syndrome or parents who have had a diagnosis in pregnancy.

We have worked alongside the neo-natal and pre-natal teams at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to start to develop a support pathway and we have developed an information pack for new families who are expecting or who have a baby with Down Syndrome.

Over 190 children and young people with Down syndrome, 60 siblings and their wider families, have accessed group sessions and activities; over 40 children and young people have had the opportunity to access monthly Speech and Language sessions.

We have arranged parent information sessions and social opportunities for families to come together.

We have delivered raising awareness workshops to student midwives, medical students, childminders, nurseries, schools and health professionals.

We are part of a number of networks that enable us to raise the profile of people with Down syndrome and also advocate for better services and support, namely: Short Breaks Partnership, Down Syndrome Network North, Down Syndrome Parent Support Groups UK, Leeds Early Years Special Educational Needs and Disability Steering group, Young Live Leeds, Leeds Parent Carer Forum and Voluntary Action Leeds.

We have offered individual support to families including home visits, hospital visits, support with completing forms and referrals or signposting for other support.

We have set up a weekly session from 9.30am – 2.30pm where families can book individual support sessions with one of our staff team.

We have also developed age specific WhatsApp groups to promote peer support and sharing of advice and information.

We send out a weekly newsletter.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Our consultation process was completed and we have been working on the outcomes from this; financial resilience, improved service pathway and improved organisational structure.

We have been running our 21 Co. shop & café since January 2019 and in February 2025 we opened a second site, Cafe 21 at Hollybush Conservation Centre. We offer work & training to adults who have Down syndrome. We have 15 adults working with us currently.

Members of the group, friends and family continue to support us by doing their own incredible fundraising challenges, by making generous donations and by making us wonderful thigs to sell at our fundraising events.

We have continued to fundraise to ensure that the organisation is sustainable in the long term.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £100,129, including net income of £90,539 on unrestricted funds and net income of £9,590 on restricted funds.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £264,715.

Sunshine & Smiles – Leeds Down Syndrome Network needs reserves to:

Meet contractual liabilities should the organisation have to close. This includes redundancy pay, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases;

To meet unexpected costs like break down of essential office machinery, staff cover re illness, maternity leave, parental leave, and legal costs defending the charities interest.

To replace equipment as it wears out;

Ensure that the charity can continue to provide stable and quality services to those who need them. Within this context to minimise recruitment, staff training, staff induction and marketing costs by avoiding the need for redundancies caused by financial crisis.

From time to time funding has certain restrictions which mean that by law it must be held in a restricted reserves until it is spent in line with the funding agreement.

Sunshine & Smiles plans its fund raising in advance having a 12 month view of the organisation’s cash flow.

Sunshine & Smiles aims to have reserves in the region of 9 months running costs kept in reserve. Based on actual expenditure for the year ending 30 November 2025 this would equate to a reserves target of £220,500.

Approved by the board of trustees on 24/7/2026

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 30 November 2025

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

The 2023 accounts have been restated as previously they were prepared on a receipts and payments basis. Unrestricted funds have reduced by £4,426 due to the recognition of £2,236 debtors and £6,662 creditors at 30 November 2023. No other changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, if it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Office equipment: over 4 years Café equipment: over 3 years

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
