Chair's Report for Year Ending 31 March 2025
As Sara, our CEO, has reported, Angel Eyes has had another very successful year. The credit for this comes, firstly and very importantly, from our institutional and community donors. It is you who provide the funds that makes the charity possible. Secondly, I must acknowledge Sara and her trained, talented, and hard-working staff, who do the work on the ground every day.
One aspect of Angel Eyes activities that I think is particularly impressive is the work carried on beyond its specific remit. For example, caring for a visually impaired child costs more than for a sighted child. This is much more challenging for lower income parents, especially as inflation never stops. In response, we have been able to use some of our donations to set up a small fund to ease the burden. Kerrie and her team have also succeeded in getting vouchers from the utility companies, supermarkets, and specialised charities that give specific items such as fridges, beds, etc. I should also draw your attention to the extra care and support for the few families who are caring for a visually impaired, disabled child at the end of life.
Another important recent initiative beyond Angel Eyes remit is with Féach, a similar organisation operating in the Irish Republic. Together we have compared legislation, policies, and practices with respect to visually impaired children in both Irish jurisdictions. We have highlighted some excellent practices in one jurisdiction that can readily be emulated in the other part of the island. We are also able to spot gaps in policies and practices in either jurisdiction. Both Angel Eyes and Féach are now advocating and lobbying for improvements.
Yet another initiative, which actually came from the young person’s we work with. They suggested we look into how QR codes might assist visually impaired young people. The first step has been to encourage cafes and restaurants to use QR codes that give clear, easy to read menus. Our staff are now encouraging local authorities all over Northern Ireland to promote the spread of these codes widely. The young people now think that QR codes can also provide maps of the layout of public buildings, business offices, etc. Wouldn’t it be a great step forward if all buildings open to the public had such explanatory QR codes at the entrances! They would also be a great help to the whole community.
I must reiterate that none of this invaluable work would be possible without the continuing financial support of all our donors. So, on behalf of my fellow trustees, and of the entire staff, I wish to express my profound thanks to you all.
And I cannot conclude without also thanking the ongoing hard work and enthusiasm of our expert staff. Finally, too, on a personal note I am most grateful for the advice and support always given to me by my fellow trustees. Thank you all for another great year.
Dr Brian Scott Chair, Angel Eyes NI

Chief Executives Report for April 2024 - March 2025
As CEO of Angel Eyes NI, I am proud to present our Annual Activities Report for 2024/25 a reflection of the passion, resilience, and strong commitment that defines our organisation.
This past year has seen both excellent progress and increasing challenges across the sector. In a climate where many charities have been forced to scale back or close entirely due to drastic reductions in government funding, Angel Eyes NI has not only sustained our services - we have grown them. We made the strategic decision not to rely on government funding, instead focusing on Trusts, Foundations, and community fundraising. This independence has given us the flexibility and focus to continue delivering high-quality and impactful support.
At the heart of everything we do are children and young people with vision impairment, and their families. Guided by their lived experiences, we’ve continued to expand and innovate, ensuring our work remains meaningful, impactful, and relevant. From immersive clinical training through Empatheyes VR to strengthened family support, education advocacy, and youth empowerment, every service we provide is shaped by the voices and needs of those we support.
This year we have also introduced our new Home Visit Service through the SpecialEyes Project, offering muchneeded practical and emotional support directly to families. We know from our own data that only 29% of our children have access to a Disability or Sensory Social Worker, despite 50% having complex or additional needs. This shrinking of statutory services places immense pressure on families - many of whom are fighting just to secure basic respite support.
We have been consistently engaged in the ongoing SEND Reform process, led by Minister of Education Paul Girvan. While the direction of reform is still evolving, we remain concerned that, without ringfenced funding or increased provision for SEND, any positive outcomes will be limited. Our role is to continue gathering robust data which is an essential tool in advocating for our community and pushing for meaningful, evidence-based change. This work is just one of the many ways Angel Eyes NI is striving to influence long-term reform and help build a truly inclusive education system for all.
Some key highlights from the past year:
• Family Support Team: Reached over 250 families, hosted 18 inclusive events, and secured over£32,000 in direct grant support, ensuring families are supported at a time of financial need.
• Education Team: Driving systemic change in the education system, supported over 70 families, and secured vital improvements in Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision.
• Youth Services Team: Empowered 77 young people to grow in confidence, explore new opportunities, and become advocates for themselves and each other.
• Clinical Team: Delivered Empatheyes VR training to over 500 participants, raising awareness and improving understanding of vision impairment across schools, healthcare, and community settings.
Behind every number is a story, a child finding their voice, a family feeling heard, or a professional gaining a new understanding of vision impairment. These moments are the heartbeat of our work and keep us driving forward to create an inclusive community.

We have also made our voice heard through key consultations, including:
-
The Executive Office’s draft Programme for Government 2024-2027, Our Plan: Doing What Matters Most
-
The Department of Education’s Free School Meals and Uniform Grant Consultation
-
Department of Education - Accounting for Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs: Changing the 'Supernumerary' Status
-
Claire Sugden MLA - Consultation on Proposed Legislation to Address Age Discrimination in Goods, Facilities, and Services
-
The Department for Communities’ Fuel Poverty Strategy
-
Carers NI’s State of Caring Survey 2025
These responses reflect our continued commitment to influencing policy and ensuring that the needs of children with a vision impairment and their families are represented.
None of this would be possible without our incredible Angel Eyes NI team, who go above and beyond every day. To our funders, partners, and our dedicated Board of Trustees, led by Dr Brian Scott, thank you. Your support, belief, and guidance are the foundations on which we continue to grow.
As we look to the future, our mission remains to break down barriers, amplify voices, and ensure that every child and young person with vision impairment is empowered to thrive.
With thanks,
Sara McCracken CEO, Angel Eyes NI

Financial review
Group Income in the year was £475,626 and group expenditure totalled £445,461 giving a group surplus of £30,165. £88,063 of the total funds are restricted and are not available for the general purposes of the group at the end of the reporting period. Group unrestricted and designated reserves totalled £127,227 at the close of the period.
Charity Income in the year was £415,563 and expenditure totalled £385,424 giving a surplus of £30,139. Total funds held at 31st March 2024 were £184,374. £88,064 of the total funds are restricted and are not available for the general purposes of the charity at the end of the reporting period. Unrestricted and designated reserves totalled £126,449 at the close of the period.
Policy on reserves
Angel Eyes NI Services maintains a prudent level of reserves to enable the organisation to manage financial risk and deliver on our commitments. The objective is that the organisation would be able to carry on its work, even if faced with a combination of difficult circumstances, and have the time to adjust its strategy to meet these changing circumstances. Our reserves policy is set therefore to ensure that there is not disruption to our services at short notice, due to a lack of funds, an unforeseen reduction in income or an increase in expenditure, while at the same time ensuring that reserves are no higher than necessary and not retained longer than required. This gives time in the event of a drop in funding, to seek alternative funds, restructure and cut costs whilst continuing to provide current services. The charity's policy is to retain a level of free reserves, which matches the needs of the organisation, both at the current time and in the foreseeable future. The reserves required should be sufficient to meet committed grant expenditure, personnel and overheads for a period equivalent to three to six months annual expenditure. The charity will continue to monitor compliance with this policy on a regular basis and the Board of Directors will review the appropriateness of the policy annually. At year ended 31st March 2025 free reserves available amounted to the equivalent of just over 3 months' annual expenditure.

Angel Eyes will contribute to the creation of a fully inclusive society for children and young people who are blind and partially sighted so they can achieve their dreams, aspirations, and full potential.

Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
Angel Eyes NI Services is a Company Limited by Guarantee, governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association (NI633274) and registered as a charity with the Charities Commission for Northern Ireland, NIC103126.
The organisation is run by a Board of skilled individuals including two parents of visually impaired children. They are passionate and dedicated individuals who meet on a quarterly basis. It is responsible for the strategic direction of the organisation and oversees the management of the organisation. The day-to-day management and operation of activities are carried out by a staff team, led by the CEO who reports to the board. Directors are appointed according to the specific skills required by the organisation to fulfil its' responsibilities and are ratified on a yearly basis at the AGM.
In the year ended March 2025, Angel Eyes NI Services employs 10 staff, including a Chief Executive, a full time and part time Education Advocate, two part-time Family Support Coordinators, a part time Eye Clinician and a part time administrator.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
It is an underpinning requirement that members of the management board have commitment to and an understanding of the ethos, aims and values of Angel Eyes NI Services. Specific skills may be required and with this in mind, new board members are attracted by advertising on digital platforms and by word of mouth. The new potential member is then invited to attend the next board meeting to observe and will become a full board member if co-opted by the board at that time and then elected at the next AGM.
Induction and training of Trustees
There is an induction pack which includes roles and responsibilities for new board members. A training and induction programme is also put in place.
Organisational structure
The day-to-day management and operation of the activities are carried out by a staff team, led by the CEO and Management Team, who also report regularly to the Committee.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Objectives and policies
The group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk.
Cash flow risk
The group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of reduced funding from grant making bodies. Fundraising activities and donations are crucial to the group's cash flow.
Credit risk
The group’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables. The group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the
counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The group has no significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the group regularly reviews funding sources to ensure sufficient cash flows are available for current projects.
Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.
Going Concern
The trustees believe that the charity will continue as a going concern. Funders have shown themselves to be supportive, flexible and adaptive to the current situation which is an invaluable help. The organisation continues to work in partnership with government bodies and agencies in terms of developing a longer term strategy to support the group's beneficiaries.
Page 13
Angel Eyes NI Services Trustees' Report
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Angel Eyes NI Services for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees'report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they aresatisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the parent charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the parent charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent charitable company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the parent charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Angel Eyes NI Services Independent Examiners's Report to the Members of Angel Eyes NI Services
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 17 to 31 .
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 65(2) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the 2008 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £100,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of CIMA. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 65 of the 2008 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 65(9)(b) of the 2008 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Angel Eyes NI Services Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. Charity status
The charity is a charity limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 28 October 2025.
2. Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Income from trading subsidiary
The trading subsidiary, Empatheyes Ltd, income is summarised on the group statement of financial activities and detailed in note 5 to the accounts.
Basis of preparation
Angel Eyes NI Services 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 notes.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2025.
No statement of financial activities is presented for the charity as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The charity made a surplus after tax for the financial year of £30,139.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved where the charity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of financial activities from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the charity and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.
Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Noncontrolling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-

Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Page 21
Angel Eyes NI Services Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the group.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.
Page 22
Angel Eyes NI Services Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the group transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the group, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.
Fair value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
