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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Financial review
Reserves policy
The trustees regularly review the finances, budgets and cash flows

donations, grants, and other income combined with relevant
expenditure in the financial year in order to accurately assess the

Going Concem
The trustees are required to provide reasonable consideration to
satisfy themselves that the charity has the ability to continue as a
going concern. After due attention and review, the trustees consider
the going concern status of the charity to be appropriate and have
therefore adopted the going concern basis for the preparation of the
charity's accounts.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Recruitment of trustees should reflect the outcomes of a skills audit
to acquire or replace skills needed for the effective governance of
the charity as agreed by the board. Consideration will be given by
the board to ensure diversity amongst its trustees and how to
appropriately advertise the vacancies. Applicants who appear
suitable will be invited to interview the charity's Chair of trustees and
its leadership team and to attend two trustee meetings as an
observer. In the event of there being a large number of applicants,
those most closely matching the skills required will be approached
initially. Following two trustee meetings as an observer the applicant
will be asked whether they wish to be appointed. The observations
and recommendations of the Chair will then be put to the following
meeting of trustees and a vote taken for appointing the trustee.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 Company 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
your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your
examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that l am
qualified to undertake the examination because l am a member of the
Association of International Accountants, 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:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as
required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records. or
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
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 (applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic
of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
