0rt4Si ht Chair's Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Amrat Khorana - Chair As we close the 2024125 year, l am proud to reflect on the progress and resilience of Support 4 Sight during a time of both consolidation and renewal. I would like to begin by thanking my fellow trustees, our CEO Sharon Schaffer, and the dedicated staff and volunteers whose commitment ensures that Support 4 Sight continues to provide vital services for people living with sight loss across Essex and beyond. Strengthening Governance This year we prioritised succession planning and governance development. We undertook a skills audit of trustees, began shaping a rolling plan for board succession, and opened discussions about introducing trainee or associate trustees to build future leadership capacity. We also reviewed and approved a suite of policies, updated our Risk Register, and enhanced safeguarding oversight through training and monitoring. These steps give us a stronger foundation for the years ahead. We also said farewell to two long-standing trustees, Pat Arnold and Andrew Streeter. Pat has been part of Support 4 Sight from the very beginning, giving not only her wisdom as a trustee but also her tireless commitment as a volunteer. Her contribution has shaped the charity at every stage, and we are delighted she will continue her involvement as a volunteer. Andrew has provided invaluable connections and insight during his time on the Board, helping us to strengthen our networks and partnerships. Both leave a lasting legacy, and we are truly grateful for their service and dedication. Page

Su 0rt4Si ht Chair's Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Services and Impact Support 4 Sight has continued to deliver and expand services in challenging circumstances. We saw the successful establishment of the ECLO role at Broomfield Hospital, ongoing support for the Low Vision Service at PAH Harlow, and the creative adaptation of activities and events to meet the needs of our community. Our Christmas parties and volunteer gatherings reminded us how central connection and community are to our mission. Fundraising and Financial Sustainability The Quirky 30 fundraising initiative has been a highlight, galvanising support and raising significant income for our services. Building on its success, events such as the December Bikeathon brought further energy and visibility. l extend my thanks to Sue King and the team for their creativity and drive. Financially, we have ended the year in a stronger position than many in the sector, with healthy reserves providing some breathing space. The Finance Committee has kept a careful eye on budgets, income diversification, and controls, ensuring our resources are managed prudently while enabling investment in staff and services. We do not employ any third party fundraisers or commercial operators. During the year we received no complaints regarding our fundraising activity. Related Parties: Ruth Mulandi, who is on our Board of Trustees, was engaged as a fundraiser on a freelance basis and received fee payments amounting to £1,870.49 in this capacity. People and Culture The dedication of our staff and volunteers cannot be overstated. This year we reflected on lessons from staff transitions, considered appraisal processes and remuneration to ensure fairness and motivation. Trustees joined in safeguarding training, reinforcing our shared responsibility for a safe and supportive environment. Page

0rt4Si ht airfs Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Looking Ahead The year ahead brings both opportunities and challenges. We will continue our focus on strategy development, patron and ambassador engagement, and strengthening our presen across Essex, particularly Chelmsford. However, we must not take our financial position for granted. Sector pressures are increasing, and the proposed Devolution Bill may significantly affect local authority funding arrangements on which many of our services rely. Navigating these changes will require vigilance, adaptability, and collective effort. With the 2025 AGM set for November, we look forward to celebrating our impact with members, volunteers, and supporters. On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone for their support during my first year as Chair. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a committed team, and I remain optimistic about the future of Support 4 Sight as we continue to champion independence, inclusion, and quality of life for those affected by sight loss.

0rt4Si ht Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims The charities objectives are the relief of persons with a visual impairment in Essex and surrounding areas and in particular" (i) To give information, advice, guidance, and support to blind, partially sighted and deafblind people and those with acquired sight loss, their families and carers; (li) To offer services which enhance the quality of life and social involvement of people with sight loss. Details of activities undertaken by the organisation during the year in carrying out its objective are provided in the above sections. Page

Su 0rt4Si ht ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit In accordance with their duties under the Charities Act 2011, it is incumbent on the trustees to conduct a Public Benefit Test to assess whether the charity has complied with its duties in due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The trustees are satisfied that Support 4 Sight has complied with its duty in regards to the Public Benefit Test over the past year based on the four principles of the Commissions Guidance. 1. There mut be an identifiable benefit: Support 4 Sights purpose is to provide support and relief to any member of the public who has concerns about sight loss, blindness or partial vision. Its services benefit a large number of the public in the geographical areas it covers in Uttlesford, Harlow, Epping, Braintree and Chelmsford in Essex. 2. Benefit must be to the public or a section of the public: All the charities services are open to members of the public at large and access to our services is not restrictive. 3. People on low incomes must be able to benefit: The Board of trustees recognises that many visually impaired people are on low incomes, as people with impaired vision are more likely to be unemployed in comparison to fully sighted people. In addition many do not avail themselves of their benefit entitlements. Support 4 Sight does not make a charge for its services of support and advice and offers its services to the public at large free of charge. 4. Any private benefit must be incidental: The Trustees do not consider that any individual or organisation receives 'private benefit, from the work of Support 4 Sight. Page
