Functions include weddings and Tamil traditional music and dance. The Temple carries out services for funerals. Due to Covid-19 infection challenges and associated Government restrictions the activities at the temple were much reduced during the year 2021. 

## **Public benefit** 

Public Benefit Statement: 

Public benefit is at the heart of what it means to be a charity. Two key principles define this area: 

1. There must be identifiable benefits. 

2. The benefits must be to the public. 

The Trustees must carry out the following: 

1. Review the activities undertaken for the public benefit. 

2. State whether they have complied with this duty. 

The Temple is in an inner-City Borough, London Borough of Lewisham that the Government has identified as containing areas of deprivation.  The whole community is welcome to use the Trust's facilities. Temple complex is warm and comfortable, and we recognise that some visitors may not have any financial resources to make donations. 

The starting point for a prayer donation ticket continues to be £1. Thus, the aim is to make the Temple available to all persons of limited financial means. 

The Trustees have reviewed the activities undertaken for the public benefit as noted above. Moreover, the Trustees confirm their compliance with this duty and that The Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit has been followed. 

## **Grantmaking**

Serving food to devotees on special days. Regular assistance with administration. Cleaning and washing within the Temple and grounds. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The main achievements and benefits to devotees, visitors and the local community include the following: The Temple was open every day of the year except during the full shut-down period. 

Considerable numbers of functions were held including weddings, cultural music and dance events, funerals and family prayer ceremonies were held in the past. However, the activities were very much scaled down during the year 2021. The Temple has welcomed persons of other faith with warmth and friendship. The aim is for harmony in our local community. 

Trustees warmly welcome local schools children visit to the temple to understand Saiva (Hindu) religion and way of worship at the temple. It also promotes interfaith relationship of various communities in the Borough. 

Our Temple is situated in an inner-city borough identified by the government as containing areas for improvement. All persons are made welcome and may have refreshments. We recognise that some persons may not have financial resources to make donations. 

The Trustees set objectives of having good attendance, running a good number of functions, keeping the school busy with good teaching, welcoming people of other faith to the Temple and helping those in the community with limited financial resources to use the Temple facilities. The Trustees feel that the achievements have met the objectives set despite the Covid-19 difficulties and restrictions. 

The Trust own the freehold of the London Sivan Centre building at 12A Lee High Road which houses a cultural and wedding hall and a number of classrooms.  These facilities are used by local communities at subsidised rates. The Trust also own a flat at 4C Clarendon Rise and a small land adjacent to the 4A Clarendon Rise. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The medium-term plan includes the purchase of the Templepremises of 4A Clarendon Rise. The Trustees plan to commence fundraising at the appropriate time. The Trustees have successfully raised funds in the past to build the Sivan Centre cultural Hall and the new Temple.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Cash at bank and in hand increased to £543,979 at 31st December 2021 compared to £416,411 the year earlier. The trustees consider the level of cash in the bank and in hand to be sufficient to cover day to day requirements. The cash in the bank committed for the Temple premises is explained below in the reserves policy. 

Bank loans were £134,780 at 31st December 2021 compared to £143,288 a year earlier. Loans from trustees were £11,000 at 31st December 2021 compared to £11,000 a year earlier. 

The statement of financial activities shows a £174,154 surplus of income over expenditure for the year ended 31st December 2021 compared to a deficit of £56,461 the year earlier. This surplus includes the decorative items brought into the account 

Debtors include £26356 (accumulated since 2011) due from devotees for services performed in the Temple (2020 £40,650, accumulated since 2011). A deposit is received with the balance due within a reasonable time after the service is held.

## **LONDON SIVAN KOVIL TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have reviewed reserves as follows: The amounts are rounded for clarity. 

The average amounts of monthly income have exceeded monthly expenditure with the surplus being used to repay bank loans and build up an amount that is committed for the Temple building. A £70,000 reserve in the bank current account and within debtor balances should cover points when the day-to-day timing of expenditure is ahead of income to prevent the account going overdrawn. One month’s average expenditure is £70,000 with one month’s loan repayment of £1,000. This gives the £71,000 reserves amount. 

The amount committed in case emergency repairs and maintenance are needed to our Temple premises is £9,000. 

The Trustees hold regular reviews of this long-term plan. 

The policy on holding reserves includes the following: 

|Total funds<br>Tangible fixed assets not available for general purposes<br>Less related loans repayable within one year<br>Less related loans repayable after one year<br>Committed if emergency repairs are needed to the premises<br>Committed bank balance for Temple building<br>Committed for the repayment of trustee loans<br>Actual reserves<br>Reserves policy amount|Exclude from<br>reserves £<br>1,763,159<br>-7,172<br>-127,609<br>9,000<br>450,000<br>11,000<br>2,098,378|Reserves £<br>2,170,049<br>(2,098,378)<br>71,671<br>70,000|
|---|---|---|



## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Trustees will need to make future decisions on capital expenditure to secure the freehold on the Temple premises and any further construction activity required. During previous years Trustees have financed capital expenditure with amounts committed, bank loans, loans from Trustees and fundraising. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LONDON SIVAN KOVIL TRUST** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of LONDON SIVAN KOVIL TRUST** 

I report on the accounts of the LONDON SIVAN KOVIL TRUST (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act: 

- Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: 

- State whether particular matter have come to my attention 

## **Basis of independent examiners statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Freehold property|-cost less residual value is depreciated over the useful life|
|---|---|
|Long leasehold|- over the lease term|
|Fixtures and fittings|- at varying rates on cost|



Depreciation is not charged on the land element of freehold buildings. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
