Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 26th January 1990 and registered as a charity on 26th January 1990. The powers of the charitable company are governed under its Article of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's article are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of six years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

In an effort to maintain a complementary skill mix, members of the Management Committee are required to provide a list of their skills (and update it each year) and in the event of the particular skill being lost due to retirement, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election for the Management Committee.

Trustees induction and training

Trustees are invited and encouraged to attend short training sessions on a range of governance issues. Trustees are already familiar with the work of the charity through attending regular events and meetings throughout the year.

Objectives and activities

The charity objective is to relieve poverty among members of the Asian community living or working in and around the London Borough of Haringey. To promote the preservation and protection of health of such persons. To advance education among such persons. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities for the recreation or other leisure time occupation of the inhabitants of the London Borough of Haringey and in particular members of the Asian community. In the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Achievements and performance

The Council of Asian People (Haringey) rebranded the Asian Centre as the Community Hub in 2018 to reflect the need to engage a wider local community, but still keeping its heritage as the Asian people were at its core. Since 2018 we have seen a wider clientele using the service, from its Day Care through its open access classes with a wider ethnic and cultural background using its facilities. Loneliness and isolation are also key areas identified locally which became a focus for project planning and grant funding applications, bearing fruit in August 2018 with the start of Re-Connect.

The year 2024 - 25 has seen a re-focusing of the current activity, consolidating its strengths and applying for new trust and foundations grants to further develop the work of the organisation.

The focus on Health, Learning and Social activities had developed including dance and keep fit classes, IT for beginners and health workshops. The organisation continued to offer members activities, special events, trips out in the minibus as well as encouraging local people to hire the Halls.

The biggest standalone community project was the Community Reach project engaged with young women of child bearing age to promote good health care in pregnancy. This project successfully engaged with 300 local women of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds to promote the information and signpost people to ante natal classes and general health information to ensure good pregnancies.

Financial review

The income of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025 was £144,703 (2024: £128,467), whereas the cost of Charitable Activities were £140,608 (2024: £130,612) and governance costs of £3,540 (2024: £3,564).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Council of Asian People (Haringey)

Year ended 31 March 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Council of Asian People (Haringey) ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Limited by guarantee

In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In producing these accounts, the directors have considered accounting policies & relevant estimates. In the director’s opinion and to the best of their knowledge significant accounting entries are based upon facts. However, these accounts do include estimates in relation to useful life of assets, deferred tax provision and immaterial prepayments and accruals.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Accounting Policies (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

Incoming resources

Voluntary income including donations and gifts is recognised as income as soon as it is prudent and practicable to do so.

Intangible voluntary income or donations -in-kind are not included in the Financial Statements as their values are often impossible to quantify.

Grants from Government and similar grants are dealt with in accordance with the terms under which they are given. Where no special terms are attached, they are dealt with on a receivable basis.

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, non-charitable 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.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 10% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% straight line

Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Trust’s balance sheet when the Trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
