OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities

Service Provision: Provided appointment only advice at Springfield University Hospital and Jubilee Health Centre East in Wallington. Also provided Legal Outreach Services at Wilson Hospital and other sites in London Borough of Merton such as Morden Medical Centre GP and Mitcham Medical Centre GP.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the matter of reserves for the purpose of establishing the level that the charity should maintain. They believe that free general reserves in the region of £100,000 would provide adequate provision against a major decrease in incoming resources, thereby enabling the Law Centre to continue its activities.
In 2019, the trustees established a designated restricted-use fund to hold the legacy monies received from the estate of the late Mr Michael Harold Pantlin. The trustees have designated this money for a specific trainee solicitor project, and do not intend to use it for the day-to-day running of the Law Centre.
The current level of free unrestricted reserves (excluding the Pantlin Fund) is in line with the reserves policy, and is considered adequate. This level of reserves will be maintained by continuing to generate income from charitable activities and maintaining a mix of legal aid and grant income.
Financial review of the year
Incoming resources from charitable activities amounted to £209,409 for the year compared with £219,066 for the previous year. Legal services and costs recovered were £91,103 (2024: £101,927).
Charitable activities expenditure amounted to £206,940 (2024: £230,944). Overall the charity disclosed a net in increase in funds of £2,964 compared to a decease of £10,289 last year.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
All members of the charity, which include members of the management committee, undertake to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each, in the event of the winding up of the company whilst a member or within one year of cessation of membership.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Members of the management committee are recruited on the basis of the value they can introduce into the charity through their experience and knowledge gained in areas of benefit to the charity, including legal services, financial awareness, operation of other charities, fundraising activities and direct personal knowledge of mental health issues.
Induction and training of board members is carried out through the existing board with the assistance of external training as required.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Springfield Advice and Law Centre Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2025
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Berringers LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 6 January 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SPRINGFIELD ADVICE AND LAW CENTRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02610711)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Springfield Advice and Law Centre Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the independent auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 6
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SPRINGFIELD ADVICE AND LAW CENTRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02610711)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report or in preparing the Report of the trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the independent auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and error, we considered the following:
-
the nature of the industry, control environment and business performance;
-
results of our enquiries to management about their own assessment of the risks of fraud and error;
-
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud may occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
Our procedures to respond to risk include the following:
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation;
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected areas that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error;
-
addressing the risk of fraud and error through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journals, assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SPRINGFIELD ADVICE AND LAW CENTRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02610711)
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
