Objectives and activities
To promote the benefit of persons resident in Wapping and the surrounding areas and to advance education, welfare and recreation for residents and to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical environment without distinction of sex, sexual orientation and/or political, religious or other opinions.
Structure, governance and management
The Trustees who served during the year are as follows: Mr J Aldenton (Chair) Ms M McAtee (Vice Chair) Ms D Martin (Secretary) Mr D Blois (Treasurer) Mr M Scorer Mr Andreas Odysseos (Appointed 12 February 2025)
The trustees have a broad range of skills and strong links with the local area. The board meets regularly to agree policy and to determine the charity’s activities and to monitor its finances. In 2024 we held three board meetings.
Amanda Day continues as a member of staff to carry out day-to-day functions and initiate projects. Trustee Jon Aldenton continues to voluntarily carry out executive functions and staff the charity’s small office. Our accounts are, annually, subject to independent examination.
Review of our activities
In planning our activities, we continue to keep in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. We also continue to monitor planning applications and submit comments if those proposals compromise our objectives.
The focus of our activities continues to be the well-being of the Wapping Community.
Local History and planning
We continue to support the History of Wapping Trust. There were 2 walks in 2024 one at the Wapping Summer Shindig in memory of Ray Newton, a founder of the history trust who died suddenly in April. He is greatly missed. The second walk was led by trust member John Tarby and was well attended. The trust celebrated its fortieth anniversary in October and showed a film made in 1982 which recalled local residents’ experiences of the London Blitz and its profound impact upon them.
In planning we continued to lobby the local authority to refurbish St George’s Pools and pursuing a lido for Shadwell Basin.

THE TURKS HEAD COMPANY
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Community Well-Being
Our annual summer festival was held in July. Although it suffered from poor weather the show went on.
A drug rehab centre was proposed by the local council to be located above a children’s nursery. The charity, along with thousands of local residents, wrote to the council opposing the co-location of the service so close to a children’s centre.
Trustees were concerned about the condition of the main shopping hub in Wapping. The shops in Wapping Lane have historically been at the heart of the area but with two of them closing down the street has taken on a forlorn look. Trustees requested a shop survey be conducted to better understand issues that the other remaining shops may be experiencing.
Environmental Improvements and Conservation
The charity has been successful in its lobbying for Wapping’s river stairs to be restored. At a public meeting hosted by the Port of London Authority (PLA) and after many years of campaigning, the PLA has now agreed to take on the project over a two-year period. The focus group set up in 2023 will continue to support the project. In turn, Tower Hamlets Council has now improved and enhanced 4 of the alleyways leading to the stairs. Further discussions will take place regarding plaques attached to the alleyways to create a history trail.
The charity made a donation to a local litter pick team for equipment.
Shadwell Basin
The charity remains committed to wider enhancements to Shadwell Basin to make it a more attractive place to visit and provides updates on the programme when information is made available.
King Edward Memorial Park
The charity remains committed to ensuring the masterplan for the park is fitting and value for money. The landscape consultants for the park are the same ones working on improving Shadwell Basin. The charity continues to be a member of the masterplan advisory group, although it met only once in 2024. The charity continues to push for the reinstatement of regular meetings.
Ensign Youth Club
The charity has continued its support the Ensign and assisted them in improving its relationship with Tower Hamlets Council.
Risk Management
The Turk’s Head Charity is committed to practicing good governance. The trustees meet on a regular basis, communicate between meetings and consider all aspects of the charity’s activities, success at meeting its objectives, financial health and the environment in which it operates.
The charity has a risk management policy and the trustees regularly revise and assess risks to the sustainability and health of the charity.
Plans for the Future
The charity is confident that its plans for the King Edward Memorial Park Shadwell basin and Brussels Wharf will come to fruition. The charity has also updated its policies and has an Equalities and Diversity Policy.
Small Company Provisions

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TURKS HEAD COMPANY
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The charity’s Trustees, who are also the directors of The Turks Head Company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
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:
-
(i) examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
(iii) 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
(ii) to prepare financial statements 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
-
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE TURKS HEAD COMPANY
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Turks Head Company is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 1 Green Bank, London, E1W 2PA, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, 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 accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. 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 company 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 income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
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.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specific service or output.
Grants payable without performance conditions are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Governance costs
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
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.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Land and buildings 2% straight line method Plant and machinery 33% reducing balance Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at revalued amounts.

(Continued)
1.7 Investment property
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
1.10 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
