## **Reference and administrative details** 

Reference and administrative details are shown in the schedule of members of the board and professional advisers on page 3 of the financial statements. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Governing document** 

The Association was established in 1975 and is registered with the Charity Commission No. 1023400. Shree Prajapati Association U.K. - London (SPA - London) is a registered charity governed by its constitution that was revised, approved by the Charity Commission and adopted at the AGM on 10 May 2015. 

## **Trustees and organisation** 

SPA - London is organised as an independent association of Prajapati residents in London and surrounding area and is run entirely by membership of volunteers who pay an annual or life membership subscriptions. It is an unincorporated association governed by a constitution and managed by an Executive Committee elected annually by the members. The members of the Executive Committee are the trustees for the purpose of charity law, in whom the control, management and administration of the Association is vested. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. 

The trustees meet as a body approximately once a month and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the charity, the community facilities and the activities provided by the charity. To assist in the smooth running of the charity the trustees have set up several sub- committees that help them oversee certain aspects of the charity’s work. Sub-committees are currently set up for finance, for the day-to-day management of the building, Mahila (ladies) activities and youth activities. Each sub-committee report back with their recommendations to the full meeting of the trustees. 

The trustees who served during the year are set out on page 3. The names of the custodian trustees are also stated on page 3. 

All those who attend our functions and fall within our membership criteria are encouraged to become members to enable them to be elected to the Board in the future if they so wish. These members are mostly Prajapati residents in London and surrounding area. 

## **Related parties** 

The charity is associated with Shree Prajapati Association (UK), which is the national body under which various branches unite and carry out its main objective. The national body and other branches associated are all independently registered charities or voluntary groups. 

## **Risk management** 

The Executive Committee have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, those related to the operations and finances of the Association, and these have been minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions, monitoring of events and appropriate insurance indemnities. The trustees have not identified any other major risk to which the charity is exposed. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The core object of the Association is the advancement of Hindu religion and education, particularly in Hindu culture and the relief of poverty and sickness among the Prajapati Community in Gujarat, United Kingdom and local charities in UK and Gujarat

## **Objectives and activities continued** 

An important part of our strategy is community welfare and education. All our community facilities and activities including classes, health initiatives and seminars are widely advertised, and we welcome the participation of all in our local community, Hindus, and non-Hindus alike. Most of our activities are free and supported by donations or grant funding. Where a charge is made, concessions are made to students, people on means-tested benefits and pensioners. 

Our hall is situated adjacent to one of the most beautiful parks in Brent, and it is our intention to encourage our members to come and join us regularly for walks and for light exercise. 

Our hall has been made available for prayers and meeting after the funeral of loved ones.

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025** 

## **Achievements and performance continued** 

Executive Committee meetings were held regularly. Meetings are generally held using zoom and at the hall. The minutes on these meetings were circulated to all the committee members and accepted approved at a next meeting The executives were given the progress report for each of these events that were organised by executive members. 

Our building currently is used by SEVACARE, during weekdays for welfare and education of children with special needs. This has provided us with much needed funds, for maintenance of our building, support charity and support our members. 

We are glad to state 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. 

We have upgraded our website, now members can access to see upcoming events and our pass history. 

Member’s details were updated i.e., procuring e-mail addresses of more members at the time of Samaj events. Hall hire charges were revised for members & non-members. 

SPA London has been very active at 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. 

During the year SPA London has donated £2,709 in total to charities – Gaushala India - £300, Stroke Foundation - £178, Children Leukaemia - £780, Make-a-Wish - £1,200 and ITF Students SPAUK - £251. 

## **Volunteers**

## **Grant Making Policy** 

Those attending our Centre have given donations generously during religious functions and raised funds 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. 

## **Financial review** 

The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances, which the Committee considers to be reasonable. Please refer to financial report. Our status has improved vastly and has enabled us to do further improvement and maintenance work in the building. 

E.g., replacement of air conditioning units, replace rear fence, repair pavement, fix damaged flower bed with concrete wall, replace safety grills. Upgrade external security lights and alarm system.

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Executive Committee considers that the unrestricted funds not committed to 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 equates £26,000 to £52,000 in unrestricted funds for Charity's normal activities. At this level the committee feel that they would be able to continue the current activities. The Executive Committee feels that the present free reserves surplus of £197,240 is adequate. 

## **Plans for the future** 

Our community is growing but the make-up of the executive committee does not reflect the community we serve. Like all other communities, attracting the youth to come and become active in the community is one of the continuing key goals. This agenda has become more pressing due to change in the economy and the pressures of western influence on young people to ensure the continuation of this wonderful organisation. This is not a problem for our association alone as this issue is faced by all voluntary sectors. 

The committee continues to address this issue. 

The Executive committee will explore and discuss and implement functions and activities that will benefit our members and others, all in line with government guidelines. 

The Executive committee is continuously investigating the way to increase the hiring of the hall as this is the main Income for the Association apart from the donation received from members. 

Some major repair works need to be carried to our building as follows: 

- Balcony roof is now over 25-year-old, and we are experiencing water leak during heavy rain A refurbishment for new roof will be needed. Roof gutter need replacing the new replacement. 

- There is an on-going issue with ground damp in main hall and dining room. 

- Car park paving ground at rear side building is now very uneven and need re-levelling. 

- Outside building needs a coat of paint. 

- Additional storage facility is desperately needed. 

- Main roof guttering needs replacing 

- 

- Improving IT structure and data storage. 

It is estimated that the works is substantial, will cost in the region of £75,000.00

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the situation of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2025, which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes. 

## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's 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. 

It is my responsibliity to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- 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 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1)     which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

- (2)     to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
