ANGELIC STARS

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the 's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)".

Objectives and activities

To preserve and protect the health of patients, particularly but not exclusively, children, their families and carers, who have severe physical, mental or life threatening illnesses causing life time disabilities such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome and fatal illnesses like cancer, by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities, support services and equipment not normally provided by the statutory authorities.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the should undertake.

The ongoing economic climate continues to make successful and cost-effective fund raising very challenging. Despite this Angelic Stars works tirelessly to raise sufficient funds to maintain and when possible to expand services to seriously and terminally ill children.

This year,Angelic Stars continued to direct its funds at sick children throughout the UK and offered much needed support, entertainment and toys to children's hospital wards and hospices. We hope that by helping to positively reframe the hospital experience,we can help rebuild resilience and happy memories for children and their families,leaving a positive impact long after treatment has ended.

Every child and young person has the right to play, even in hospital. Our donations provide our patients with both fun and stimulating activities that help bridge the gap between hospital and home. These every day activities enhance the childrens' stay and make a huge difference to the whole experience of being in hospital.

Children who are diagnosed with a serious or life-threatening illness spend a lot of time in hospitals. This can be a lonely and frightening experience, and particularly distressing for younger children who may have to be separated from their parents for long periods of time. It is an incredibly difficult and stressful period which can lead to emotions of fear, sadness and helplessness for the entire family. This can have immediate and longterm consequences for the health and emotional wellbeing of the child.

Research has highlighted that the importance of play and entertainment in hospitals, helps with preparing children for what is going to happen and also provides ways for them to work through anxieties and fears and deal with the experience. Angelic Stars services are based on distraction therapy. A method of helping a child cope with a painful or difficult procedure or pain. Our distraction boxes have helped hospital and hospice staff with different ways of distracting a child whilst undergoing procedures.

Donations from Angelic Stars continue to help bring the extra 'magic' above and beyond what is available through the NHS, creating an environment where stress and anxiety are reduced and providing a means with which to cope with their diagnosis and treatment.

We continue to be inspired by our supporters who donate fundraise put on events and also fancy dress in their pursuit to helping further our mission in bettering the lives of ill children.

Over the next year, Angelic Stars will continue to create new and innovative ways of using entertainment to distract children from the pain and isolation often caused by their illness and treatment.

Without the generosity and thoughtfulness of the general public, Angelic Stars could not make these wishes come true.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.7 Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs),unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends cither to settle on a net basis,or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.8 Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1.9 Trade Debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
