**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.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chips Charity Limited**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Chips Charity Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 May 2025.
## **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 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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can 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 Company 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 (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.
