## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
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.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The Charity's objective is:
To relieve the needs of and to promote and protect the physical and mental health of cancer sufferers by:
- a) the provision and advice and assistance on the treatment and prevention of cancer;
- b) providing access to therapeutic care and assistance; and
- c) carrying out research and publishing any useful results.
In setting the objective and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives**
Star Throwers supports people with cancer and their carers through personalised information that helps them to become well informed about their cancer and their treatment options, and through complementary support services that meets their holistic needs.
## **c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
This year has been a period of transformation and strategic development for the Charity. With a renewed vision, focussed leadership and stewardship, the Trustees are proud to share the significant progress made towards ensuring the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of Star Throwers CIO.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the Charity**
## _**Governance, leadership, and management**_
Recognising the importance of robust governance, this year saw the successful recruitment of four new Trustee Board members bringing specialist expertise in finance, clinical care and user experience. These appointments have enriched the collective knowledge of the Board, strengthening the Charity’s capacity for informed decisionmaking and strategic oversight. The new Trustees have already made valuable contributions, particularly in shaping the Charity’s financial strategy, enhancing service quality, and ensuring the Charity’s activities are truly centred around the needs of those the Charity supports.
A major milestone was reached with the recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer. The incoming CEO offers established leadership skills, experience in enhancing cancer services, stewardship and a fresh perspective for Star Throwers CIO. This will help advance the Charity’s growth ambitions while preserving its core values and providing effective stewardship.
## _**Strategic development**_
A key development was the initiation by the Trustees of the of a five-year strategy 2025 - 2030 development designed to secure the long-term sustainability of the Charity.
Work on this strategy commenced during the year, with active input from Trustees, staff, volunteers, and external experts to ensure that it remains both ambitious and achievable. While the Charity’s strategic priorities have been identified - expanding the reach and impact of the Charity’s services, deepening community partnerships, investing in staff and volunteer development, and diversifying the Charity’s income streams - the strategy itself was finalised in September 2025. This ongoing process provides a clear roadmap, guiding the Charity’s journey towards building a resilient and responsive charity that can adapt to the evolving needs of those the Charity supports in the years ahead.
## _**Organisational Review**_
To enhance effectiveness and efficiency, the Trustees requested a review of the Charity’s organisational structure and service delivery model. Actions that have already been implemented include clearer lines of accountability, streamlined processes, and the introduction of new financial arrangements. These changes have improved internal communication, reduced duplication of effort, and ensured that resources are directed where they are needed most.
## _**Centre Refurbishment and Funding Efforts**_
Securing funding for a much needed refurbishment of the Charity’s centre has been a major focus this year. The senior team have worked diligently to identify grant opportunities, engage with potential donors, and build strategic partnerships. While the fundraising campaign is ongoing, the Trustees are heartened by the positive response from supporters and the community. Refurbishment of the centre is central to enhancing everyone’s experience, increasing the Charity’s capacity, and providing a welcoming, accessible environment for all.
## _**Looking Ahead: Building on strengths and embracing opportunity**_
This is an exciting period for Star Throwers CIO. The Trustees are committed to building on the Charity’s established strengths - the Charity’s dedicated staff and volunteers, the Charity’s reputation for compassionate personalised care, and the Charity’s collaborative spirit. The changes made this year position the Charity to build new opportunities, extend the Charity’s reach and accessibility, and deepen the Charity’s impact. As the Trustees look to the future, we do so with confidence, optimism, and a shared determination to continue to be there for those affected by cancer.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **Financial review**
## **a. Summary**
The Charity has made notable financial improvements over the past year. Through prudent management, rigorous cost control, and the identification of new income streams, the Charity has strengthened it’s financial position. The Charity’s reserves are healthy, and operational overheads have been reduced without compromising the quality of the Charity’s services. These achievements provide stability for future investment in the Charity’s people, service delivery, and facilities.
## **b. 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.
## **c. Reserves policy**
The Trustees have established a reserves policy to ensure the Charity’s financial stability and ability to continue its work for the public benefit. Reserves are defined as unrestricted funds that are freely available for use, excluding restricted and designated funds, and tangible fixed assets and associated loans.
The Trustees have determined that it is prudent to maintain reserves at a level equivalent to four months of core operating expenditure. For 2024/25 this was calculated as £78,092 and £138,220 for 2025/26. This level allows the Charity to manage fluctuations in income, meet ongoing commitments, and respond to unforeseen events.
At 31 May 2025, the Charity held £166,986 ( _2024 - £228,421_ ) in free reserves. This is broadly in line with the target level, and the Trustees are satisfied this is adequate over the coming year and will consider investment of any surplus reserves. The policy is reviewed annually at the September Board meeting.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Star Throwers CIO is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.
## **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 Memorandum of Association.

## **STAR THROWERS CIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 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.
## **Acknowledgements**
The Trustees extend their sincere appreciation to all supporters, donors, funders, staff, and volunteers. Their continued dedication and generosity enable the Charity’s work and serve as ongoing inspiration. Collectively, we are effecting meaningful change for individuals affected by cancer within the Charity’s community.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Star Throwers CIO ('the Charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 May 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**
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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.

The financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by:
................................................ **Celia Lynne**
## Date: 17 December 2025
The notes on pages 10 to 26 form part of these financial statements.

**(A Company Limited by Guarantee)**
## **STAR THROWERS CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **1. General information**
Star Throwers CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The registered office address and principal place of business is 30 Melton Road, Wymondham, NR18 0DB.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Star Throwers CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
## **2.3 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 on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

## **STAR THROWERS CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.4 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold property are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Freehold property was initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, freehold property is carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date.
Fair values are determined from market-based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tangible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing business, a Charity may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach.
Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities, with a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|Freehold property|-||Not depreciated|
|---|---|---|---|
|Short-term leasehold property|-|33%||
|Plant and machinery|-|10%||
|Office equipment|-|33%||
|Computer equipment|-|33%||
## **2.6 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.7 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

## **STAR THROWERS CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.8 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
## **2.9 Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.10 Pensions**
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
## **2.11 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

## **STAR THROWERS CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
## **3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment**
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
## **Valuation of Freehold Property**
The Charity holds freehold property which is included in the balance sheet at fair value. The valuation of property is inherently subjective, requiring the use of assumptions and estimates, including market conditions and comparable property evidence.
Changes in these assumptions or market conditions could result in material adjustments to the carrying value of the property in future reporting periods. The Trustees consider the valuations used to be appropriate for the purposes of these financial statements.
