Pyjama Fairies Company No. CE006638 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The aims of Pyjama Fairies are:
To create and distribute pyjamas and surgical gowns specially designed and approved by hospitals,sewn by volunteers, both to hospitals and children in the UK on request
To help children and families feel more comfortable whilst the associated child is undergoing surgeries and or associated treatments in hospital, other health facility or home
Each initial gown and/or pair of pyjamas will be provided free of charge to the family subject to a postage charge
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Parent/Guardian Orders
The charity has provided over 1390 orders to parents/guardians and their children since April 2024, totalling over 2600 garments. Our emergency stock system has been very busy, sending garments out daily for families with short notice orders. We have implemented a new charge for postage and a new postage structure whereby all parent orders now go 24hr or 48hr delivery, this still gets our garments to families in a timely fashion but negates the need for a signature and has hugely cut down on undelivered parcels.
Hospital Orders
The charity has successfully provided large orders to over 47 hospitals since April 2024 totalling over 2400 garments to hospitals in this time. We have a few hospital orders booked for 2026 and are actively advertising for more. We have now dropped the free allocation to 50 garments per ward/unit
as the rising cost of fabric is a never ending concern. We now also charge a small flat fee of £30 towards the postage of said hospital donation. This year we have had lots of our volunteers hand delivering the garments to the hospitals. We will continue to hand deliver as many of our hospital orders as possible as it is a wonderful opportunity to see the difference our garments make to the children at the hospitals and speak to staff who then go on to recommend our services.
Hospice Orders
We have had the privilege of supplying specially adapted garments to 7 hospices this year, supplying over 140 garments.
Website and Shop
The website continues to run smoothly and with minimal maintenance it still reduces admin on the whole. We are still continuing to pay for maintenance to update plugins and create backups. A volunteer has researched and created a whole new shop website of merchandise that is produced by a dropship company. Whilst uptake has been slow we will continue to advertise our merchandise and hopefully create a small income from it.
Ongoing donations
We are very fortunate to have many of our supporters that donate continually and we have also been chosen by Ansaldo Nuclear Limited to be beneficiary for some of their fundraising efforts over the next year.
Fundraising
We are hoping soon to implement a continuous donation opportunity via our website so our supporters can donate a set amount each month which should help us be able to envision our future more clearly.
Events
This year we have been present at 4 conferences again and we regularly have fairies that go out into the community, to WI groups etc, to tell people what we do and possibly recruit more willing volunteers.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The charity reserves currently stand at £22,024. The charity has little fixed or recurring costs therefore the trustees believe a reserve level of £5,000 is sufficient.

Pyjama Fairies Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Pyjama Fairies For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity 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
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 Company 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.

Pyjama Fairies Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. General Information
Pyjama Fairies is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number CE006638 and registered charity number 1166993. The registered office is PO BOX 267, Manchester, M41 4DU.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. 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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
2.3. Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 25% Reducing balance Computer Equipment 25% Reducing balance
2.5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
3. Net Income/(Expenditure)
The net expenditure is stated after charging/(crediting):
