1.4 Achievements and performance
Introduction:
During the March 2024- Feb 2025 financial year, Shine A Light has seen a lot of successes, but we have also had a few unforeseen challenges.
We are very excited to share our second impact report which is included in our annual accounts and highlights achievements and the services we have delivered during our 2024 - 2025 year.
During the past twelve months our team of staff, volunteers and our trustee board have continued to deliver much needed valuable support for people affected cancer and their families who live in Coventry and Warwickshire.
The main focus of our work has continued to be to support families affected by childhood cancer, whilst we have continued to deliver counselling and play therapy to families affected by adult cancer too. Our cancer support centre in Rugby has had a successful first year. We have successfully launched a community café and shop from the centre which have started to raise an income stream for the charity. We have also seen many members of the local community benefitting from the community café with the launch of a war veterans support group and three craft groups.
We would like to thank everyone who has provided support for Shine A Light this year. Our volunteer team, without whom we could not achieve our work. The amazing support we have received from our local community, with donations of items for our shop, our customers, and donations for the packs we send out to families. Community fundraising events and the wonderful corporate partnerships we have with local companies. The trusts and foundations who have supported our work by providing grants throughout this year. We are extremely grateful to you all for supporting us, whether through the purchase of a 70p coffee or a £5,000 grant– every penny helps us achieve our objectives and provide vital support.
Aside of the 1-2-1 counselling and play therapy we provide, our services are designed to bring families together to provide peer support to one another within a supporting environment.
Some of our highlights and achievements this year included:
A Stratford Summer Day Trip - Behind a fun day out is a vital opportunity for parents to talk and provide peer support to one another. From a first meeting we have seen some wonderful friendships bloom this year and the support that comes with these gives strength and comfort to all.
Counselling & Play therapy - We ran 435 sessions of adult counselling from January to December 2024.
Our play therapy service was featured by BBC Coventry and Warwickshire radio as part of the Children in Need

1.6 Financial review
During the year to 28[th] February 2025, the charity’s total income was £167,502. At the year end, the level of reserves available for the charity’s use (i.e. unrestricted funds and not represented by fixed assets) was £45,979. Total operating charitable expenditure was £163,151 giving an operating surplus in the year of £4,352.
1.7 Investment & Reserves policy
The charity aims to maintain total reserves at a level equivalent to at least six months operating costs based on current annual expenditure. The reserves currently held as of the 28 February 2025 were £45,979.
1.8 Future Development
As this financial year draws to a close Shine A Light are planning to pilot several new groups, starting with a whole family play therapy day for groups of families to experience together and looking at other groups and activities we can run and develop. We continue to make improvements to the centre facilities on offer and we are exploring how we can increase the income from operating both the community café and the shop to ensure they are creating a worthwhile income stream. Create a second therapy room to enable us to provide therapy for more than one client at once. We continue to collaborate with the local community to generate more ways we can use the centre, we have plans to hold a VJ day event in August this year as part of these plans.
The charity is exploring further measures to grow in membership and continue to develop its members to make life- changing impact in society. We continue to work with Coventry and Warwickshire councils, national and local charities, other agencies and NHS departments, to develop further long-term plans to ensure our growth and sustainability in all areas.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Shine a Light Childhood Cancer Support ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 28 February 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
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 Charity 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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 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.
Shine a Light Childhood Cancer Support 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.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
1.3 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met.
1.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
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.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
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:
Computer equipment
25% Straight-Line
1.6 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.
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.
2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgments estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
