Executive Committee meetings were held regularly. Meetings are generally held using zoom. The minutes on
Ihese meetings were circulaled to all the committee members and accepted, approved at a next meeting The
executives were given the progres5 report for each of these evenls Ihal were organised by executive members.
Our building currently is used by SEVACARE, during weekdays for the welfare and education of children with
special needs. This ha5 provided us with much needed funds, for maintenance of our building, support charity and
our members.
We are glad lo stale that the Executive Committee carried out their duties throughout the year. All the general
essential building and upkeep work like fire alarm maintenance, updating security CCTV system with 24 hours
remote monitoring, window upgrade, protection and upkeep of the property was carried out.
Member's details were updated i.e., procuring e-mail addresses of more members at the time of Sam81 events.
Hall hire charges were revised for members & non-members.
SPA London has been very active al SPA HQ by attending HQ meetings over Zoom and supporting the work of
the SPA (UK) International Trust Fund as well as fundraising for the SPA UK nominated charity of the year.
The Trustees acknowledges ils members valuable supportal events both in terms ofattendance and the voluntary
help received in preparing and organising events throughout the year_ Volunteers have worked very hard during
Ihe year.
Those attending our Centre have given donations generously during religious functions and raised fund5 through
activities, for disaster appeals and education charities. Funds are made available to support financial problems of
parents enabling their children to continue higher education.
The attached financial Statements show the currenl stale of the finances. which the Committee considers to be
reasonable. During the year, the Association generated donations and other income amounling lo £95,642 (2023..
£74,206) and with charitable expenditure of £54,210 (2023.. £55,400), the Association had a surplus of £41,432
(2023.. £18,806) in the year.
There are no restrictions on Ihe charity's power to invest. The Executive Committee considers thal, in view of the
demand and funds needed to maintain the buildings, sufficient funds are maintained in low-risk bank accounts.
The Executive Committee considers that the unrestricted funds not committed lo or invested in tangible fixed
assets {'the free reserves.) held by the charity should be between six months and one years of the resources
expended, which equales £26,000 10 £52,000 in unrestricted funds for ChaTity's normal activities. At this level
the committee feel that they would be able lo continue the current activities. The Execulive Committee feels that
the present free reseNes surplus of £151.583 is adequate.
Our community is growing but the make-up of the executive committee does not reflecl the community we serve.
Like all olher communities. allracting the youth to come and become active in the community is one of the
ontinuing key goals. This agenda has become more pressing due lo change in the economy and the pressures
of western inff uence on young people to ensure the continuation of this wonderful organisalion. This is not a
problem for our association alone as this issue is faced by all voluntary sectors.

members and others, all in line wilh government guidelines.

statements. The planning and conduct of an audit, goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent
examination can provide. Consequently. l express no opinion as lo whether the financial statements present a 'true
and fair, view, and my report is limiled to those specific matters set out in the independent examinels Statement.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Acl., or
> the financial slaternents do not accord with those records., or
> the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content
of financial statements sel out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any
requirement thal Ihe financial statements give a 'true and fair view which is nol a matter considered as part
of an independent examination.
