Chips Charity Limited
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 May 2025
Objectives
The object of the charity is to provide mobility for youngsters up and down the UK, by the provision of powered and some manual wheelchairs and which are not available to these youngsters through the NHS.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Achievement and Performance
During this period a total of 42 chairs were handed over which was up by 9 chairs on the previous year. Funds from sources including Genting, who donated the largest amount ever received in a single donation, sponsorship of Stuart Hunter (Half Marathon) FNAIST, Tower Bridge (BGC Charity Day), Clarion, Metropolitan (London Clubs), Passport Technology and the CHIPS Golf day. CHIPS was able to deliver freedom and mobility to youngsters from Rugby to Aldershot and Bristol to Kings Lynn
Financial Review
The statement of the finances is attached to this report and shows an income of £460,971 with an expenditure of £328,491.
Funding
FNAIST part funded 16 chairs and donated over £20,000 with top up's in some cases from the Boparan trust, both trusts allow CHIPS Charity to take all the credit.
CHIPS Charity had donations via Just Giving which amounted to £19,500, which is an increase on the previous year..
A new scheme had been introduced by Genting called 'Pennies from Heaven' which is formed of small donations from donors salaries raised £873.
CHIPS Charity's partnership with Just Giving costs £216 per annum, plus 1.9% +20p for credit/Debit card donations and 5% for which they handle all the 'Gift Aid' forms.
The average cost of the wheelchairs was approximately £8.5K which has pushed our budget. This is not the case with every chair and some chairs have been part funded with the Boparan Trust and Florence Nightingale Aid in Sickness Trust, both of whom are happy for CHIPS Charity to take the publicity.
Motus Medical continue to be our major supplier, but we have used other reputable suppliers, in a few cases the chairs supplied from other suppliers have been manual wheelchairs, with special seating.
Other charities must employ assessors or rely on the family's requests, which aren't always the correct equipment for the child. CHIPS Charity carefully vets all applicants to ensure they meet the charity's criteria.
The 2025 Golf Tournament netted £37,250 with the largest number of players and everyone had a good day.
There were no monies received through the collection boxes in the year.
The CHIPS Charity investment fund has had minor increases over the year and at end May 2025 was £103,894, the major increase from the previous year was due to £50K being transferred due to the large donation from Genting of £325,000, the trustees decided to add £50K to the investment fund.
Governance
Charity governance is controlled by its document, a deed of trust and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee 2006 as defined by the Companies Act, is watched over and a Diversity page has been added to the Website. Mark Dixon has assisted to ensure Chips Charity are compliant to all regulations.
The Trustees continue to be aware the economic situation remains difficult for the country and as such there will be pressure on discretionary spend for general leisure/gambling and also on charitable fund raising.
Efforts will be made to engage more strongly with the on-line gambling sector this remains a factor for the coming year.
