DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The directors, who are also the trustees of the charity, present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Company status

Pink Events UK Limited does not have share capital and is limited by guarantee to the value of £10 per member.

The company was incorporated on 12 March 2014 and is constituted under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company, dated 12 March 2014 as amended on 16 September 2014 and comprise its principal governing documents.

The company obtained charitable status from 23 September 2014, with the charity number 1158646.

The objects of the charity are to relieve sickness and promote and protect good health amongst those who are at risk of, or who have been diagnosed with, breast cancer in such ways as the trustees shall think fit, in particular but not exclusively by:

Providing and improving resources and equipment for patients and consultants as appropriate to improve care, treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer;
Raising awareness about early diagnosis and treatment and reminding people to check themselves; and
Raising funds to support research into all aspects of breast cancer, its causes, diagnosis, treatment and disseminating the useful results of such research.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

Company Law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company at the end of the year and of its financial activities during the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.

The directors are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the trust and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the trust and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Governance and management

The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 23 September 2014. Its constitution was adopted on 16 September 2014. The governing documents instruct the trustees to act in a way to promote the objects of the charity.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Trustee appointment, induction and training

Trustees are appointed by the Members of the Charity, who are also the Trustees. New trustees undergo induction and training to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, and recent financial performance of the charity.

Achievements and performance

During 2024 Sarah’s Pink Events team, having been so overwhelmed by the continuing support of friends, decided that one of the ways in which Sarah will be remembered is to carry on fundraising for the Charity.

With this in mind the committee went ahead and planned the events for 2024.

We are always immensely grateful to everyone who helps at our events and there are many who step up regularly to give up their free time to volunteer, to them we say a big thank you.

Without our volunteers it would be difficult to manage events, these include the annual Harrogate Christmas Fair which raises an enormous amount of money over the course of four days.

The wine tasting events, where our volunteer waiters are invaluable. The Michael Bublé afternoon tea and our first Abba afternoon tea held at the Marriott Hotel which was a great success.

Our annual summer garden party held in Kimberley’s back garden was, as usual, well attended and enjoyed by all.

We would particularly like to thank the many friends who raise money on our behalf, this includes the many who run marathons, fun runs, organise sports days, bake sales, fitness challenges and many more who donate regularly from personal events.

We would like to acknowledge and thank Woods Insurance Company who contribute to our annual fees for insurance cover. A special thank you to Mailway Packaging Solutions Limited who continue donate a substantial amount every year and support us in many other ways.

Last year Sarah’s Pink Events were awarded the Flame of Hope by Cancer Research UK for the second time. This is an annual award that celebrates the achievements of outstanding and inspiring volunteers. Sarah’s Pink Events have donated £115,000 to Cancer Research UK to date.

To date Sarah’s Pink Events have donated £241,394 (in money, equipment and research project funding) to the Breast Carer unit at St. James’s Hospital.

Sarah’s Pink Events remain committed to continuing the fundraising and supporting all the excellent work that is done by the team at the Breast Care Unit at St. James’ as well as the research into causes and treatments of Breast Cancer.

Future plans

2025 sees the return of the Pink Ball which has been missing from our activities for a short time. This was scheduled to be earlier in the year rather than its traditional October timing.

Following the success of the first Abba tribute afternoon tea we have planned a similar event for 2025. The regular and well-established events will continue as they have done for some years.

Sarah’s Pink Events are looking at funding support groups which will be directed by the team at St. James’s. We will also be looking at requests for addition resources for the Breast Care Unit. We will be funding a second research project is scheduled to start in October 2025.

PINK EVENTS UK LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Financial review

The income for the charity is £56,329 for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023 - £42,778). As at 31 December 2024 the charity recorded unrestricted general funds of £62,824 (2023: £31,695) in addition to a designated fund with a balance of £24,800 (2023 - £24,800). Details of the designated fund are shown in note 7.

A proportion of Pink Events’ income came from donations from fundraising activities, also from sponsorship by Mailway Packaging Solutions Limited.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PINK EVENTS UK LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

I report on the financial statements of Pink Events UK Limited for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements 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 financial statements as 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(b) of the 2011 Act.

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body. 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 examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, which is complete, no matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of Pink Events UK Limited in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principals of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Charitable activities represent grants made. These are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In applying the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Trustees believe that there are no critical accounting judgements nor key sources of estimation uncertainty within these financial statements.

3. Expenditure on charitable activities
