PHYS-CAP FOR CHILDREN
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 1 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
Objectives and activities
The object of the charity is to improve the quality of life for children with severe physical and mental disabilities in the Yorkshire area, particularity but not exclusively through the purchase of specialist or therapeutic equipment to help make their lives easier and facilitate greater participation in everyday activities.
Phys-Cap for Children is often the last resort for families with limited funds who, with their healthcare advisors, have identified equipment of this nature. To date the charity has supported children with a wide variety of disabilities and debilitating medical conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Cats Eye Syndrome, Angevin's Syndrome and Muscular Dystrophy to name but a few. Requests for assistance are considered on the basis of need regardless of considerations of race, colour, religion or lifestyle.
The charity works closely with therapists, hospitals and local specialist schools in the Yorkshire area and receives many referrals from these sources.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Volunteers
The charity has no employees and all who work towards the charity achieving its objectives, including the trustees, are volunteers.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
2025 has been a challenging year due to the fact we haven’t run any of our annual events. Notwithstanding that, it didn’t deter us of our combined objectives & our strategy for 2026 which is to focus on working with corporate entities as their chosen charity of the year or by means of one-off donations.
Financial review
The total income for the year was £40,221 (2024: £219,485) of which £40,221 was unrestricted (2024: £72,485) and £Nil was restricted (2024: £147,000). The expenditure for the year was £81,252 (2024: £254,121) of which £81,252 was unrestricted (2024: £58,121) and £Nil was restricted (2023: £196,000).
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources continue to be the special fundraising events put on during the year, the appeal directly to potential donors across the Yorkshire region and encouraging donations through its website at: https:// www.physcap.org/ donate/.
Going concern
At the time of signing these accounts in the opinion of the trustees there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

PHYS-CAP FOR CHILDREN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Phys-Cap for Children is a constitution adopted 2 February 1982 as amended 3 November 1987 and 13 March 2009.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, 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 financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
1.5 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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
