REFLECTIONS ON THE 2024 - 2025 YEAR AND THE YEAR AHEAD

LETTER FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AND OUR DIRECTOR

2024-25 was a landmark year for Ace of Clubs, marking 30 years of supporting people who are homeless and facing adversity. This milestone gave us the opportunity to not only celebrate our history, but also to honour everyone who has been part of our journey: our guests, founders, volunteers, partners, funders, supporters and local community.

Throughout the year, we marked our 30th Anniversary with a series of events designed to bring people together and reflect the breadth of our community. These included a celebration for our guests, an Open Day, community engagement activities, a significant fundraiser, and a dedicated thank-you event for our volunteers.

We launched the anniversary year with a celebratory lunchtime BBQ for our guests in May. With sunshine overhead and a joyful atmosphere, it was a truly special moment and a memory we will cherish. In June, volunteers delivered invitations to neighbouring homes ahead of our Open Day and centre tours. Held on a Saturday, the event welcomed over 100 people, including long-standing supporters and many who were discovering Ace of Clubs for the first time. The visit around our Ace of Clubs garden offering home grown raspberries and honey was particularly appealing on a summers’ day.

Throughout this financial year we also planned for our 30" Anniversary events that extended into the 2025 — 26 financial year — events made possible by incredible generosity and collaboration. This included a Plate Modern challenge for local schools; our first Banquet of Hope dinner fundraiser; and a thank you to our volunteers. It was wonderful to invite people to our Ace of Clubs dining hall to hold these unforgettable events and then to gather at St Mary’s Monastery to thank our volunteers— connecting us back to the roots of Ace of Clubs and how it all began 30 years ago.

In this memorable year, we were also pleased to see growing interest in our work, with a number of interviews and films produced to explore our journey and the impact of our food and services. Further details can be found in the Communications section.

Our services continue to gain strong, positive feedback from our guests as identified in our service user surveys with 99% of guests saying they would recommend our services to others.

Nevertheless, demand for our services remains high, with 38,302 meals served last year. Our numbers appear to be stabilising after the sharp increase seen since the Covid period which is both a relief and an opportunity, enabling us to explore additional ways to add value for our guests. During the year, we trialled a number of enriching activities, including a visit from an opera group and special celebrations for Refugee Week, Black History Month and Volunteers Week, with themed food and activities.

Alongside our core services—food, support work, showers, laundry and IT access—we continue to offer a wide range of partner services, including NHS nursing, dental and eye care, additional casework and outreach, employability support, and addiction support services. We take great pride in the strong relationships we have built with our on-site partners, allowing us to provide a seamless, one-stop experience for our guests.

Looking ahead, we are planning confidently for the future. We have madea strong start to the 2025-26 financial year, thanks to our investment in fundraising during 2024-25 and our generous supporters and funders. We remain hugely thankful to our individual, community, corporate and trust donors, particularly those who have committed to multi-year grants or regular monthly giving, which enables us to plan sustainably.

This positive financial position allows us to move forward with confidence in our operational planning, while continuing to prioritise fundraising to secure Ace of Clubs’ long-term future.

Keeping our guests at the heart of everything we do remains our central focus. Every day we witness the impact of our work, which sustains us through challenging times. Ace of Clubs provides vital stability and support to people living with complex and often chaotic circumstances, and our commitment to those who are homeless or living precariously remains as strong as ever.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports our work. We could not do this without you. ;

With Warm Regards

Anna Long, Chair of the Trustees’ Management Committee & Treasurer

Heidi Shrimpton, Director

Report of the Trustees and Directors for the year ended 31 July 2025

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report with the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the financial statements and comply with current statutory requirements of the Charity’s Trust Deed, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)"

OUR HISTORY

Ace of Clubs opening in 1995 can be seen as a positive gesture in line with Redemptorist tradition to alleviate local suffering, poverty and loneliness — and provide them the best club, the ‘Ace of Clubs’. The charity initially started as a place of warmth and food to grant people refuge in our building - what was previously St Mary’s Primary School, initially a boy’s school — who had moved out of St Alphonsus road premises. When you enter our premises, this is very apparent with our large dining hall, high ceilings and adjacent classrooms, now adapted for our charity operations.

Today, Ace of Clubs has grown to be a multi-faceted, holistic project where every aspect of each person’s needs is given due attention, respect and care — with a range of opportunities from healthcare, education, accommodation, advice and advocacy.

‘When we opened the Ace of Clubs on the 15" May 1995 our hope was that it would meet the needs of those poorest and most vulnerable in our society. It is a real joy to see the club now flourishing and serving so many deserving men and women.’

Fr Jim McManus CSSR — Founder

OUR PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVES

The principal objectives of the charity are to promote and provide for the relief of poverty, the advancement of education and undertake other charitable work through the provision of an openaccess day-centre for the homeless, vulnerable, dispossessed and most vulnerable in society.

The aim is to not only address immediate human needs (e.g. hunger) but also to go above and beyond such needs by making a difference to guests’ lives through transformative support (e.g. physical and mental health, welfare, wellbeing, training and education).

PUBLIC BENEFIT

Further to the objectives set out above, the Trustees have considered the general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit when reviewing the charities activities, and in particular, the guidance on the prevention or relief of poverty.

OUR VISION

Our Mission is to meet the basic human needs of homeless and isolated people through a range of high quality and easily accessible services. We seek to enable service users to gain a sense of purpose, belonging and self-esteem in order that they can make informed and responsible choices that affect their lives.

We do not discriminate on the basis of age, race, colour, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or disability.

We provide an essential lifeline of non-judgemental, transformative support to address urgent and complex issues, impounded by street homelessness and precarious living conditions, to help change and transform lives. We provide an accessible, safe space to relax, where all those who walk through our doors can feel respected and a sense of belonging in a trusted environment.

----- End of picture text -----*

We have continued to serve those in the community who are experiencing homelessness, including those who are sleeping rough, or are living in temporary or insecure housing. Guests come from Clapham and neighbouring boroughs within London. However, we have witnessed guests travelling from across London for the comfort of Ace of Clubs.
Weare an open-access service, open Monday to Friday (including bank holidays and Christmas Day), 5 days a week, all throughout the year.
Ourcore food serving times are between 12 — 2.30 each day, but some other services run outside of these times. Guests can choose to eat their food in or have a take-away, depending on what best suits their needs. A standard day usually varies from 130 -200 clients. Our guests are asked to pay £1 for their meal, which helps support the cost of providing the food. We also provide funded meal tickets for guests that are unable to pay. Guests with No Recourse to Public Funds are not required to pay.

Our core delivery services include:

Adaily nutritious hot meal prepared by our Chef with a vegan and meat option, catering for different dietary requirements.
Tea and coffee bar and refreshments, ensuring people stay hydrated and can warm up.
A food bank service which includes fresh produce — all freshly donated by local food donors.
- Hot Showers, Laundry Service, clothing donations, toiletries and other emergency supplies— to enable people to freshen up and get warm again.
Essential daily communication needs when homeless such as postal service, phone charging, phone use, transport vouchers — these can bea lifeline for GP or hospital appointments, job interviews and appointments with the Job Centre.
Support/Case Workers on site for daily support needs, welfare assistance, translation, ID and bank opening, finance, end of life care etc.
Referral to housing, benefits, debt, pension credit, passports, immigration etc. (from onsite Case Workers), enabling people to progress to the next stage.
Referral to food banks to support people experiencing hunger and malnutrition.
- Referral to local night shelters during the winter months to support people off the streets. - Onsite IT suite for IT use.
Mental health, Addiction, Physical Health support (from NHS nurse and mental health services) enabling people to address their health and wellbeing for positive progression.
- Other essential health services including dental, eye care, podiatry and health and wellbeing days for health checks, vaccinations etc.

OUR IMPACT

We collated our impact in the following ways:

Daily monitoring and recording of the number of guests having a hot meal (our numbers do not include seconds that many of our guests come back for).
Wecarried out two Service Involvement Surveys to record feedback on our services from our guests. We conduct Service Involvement Group meetings and this group also helps

support the shaping and development of our services. We also provided feedback forms and complaint forms on site (including in different languages) ensuring people can feedback.

Logging dedicated Case Work support in the areas of Housing, Finance, Transport, Physical Health, Mental Health and referrals on to our Charity Log System.
Estimating each week, the number of ‘interventions’ our Support Workers carry out from helping charge a phone to obtaining a meal ticket.
Collating data from the partners who are also working on our site to support our guests — these partners include other homelessness charities, NHS, mental health and physical health teams. We hold regular Service Provider Partnership meetings so we can share best practice and encourage feedback around our services and support requirements.
Collect focussed Case Studies from our clients to understand better their journeys from homelessness to gaining more independence. We have also invited pro bono external partners in to interview our clients and provide case studies and films about our work.
Track our numbers of volunteers and their overall hours according to our daily volunteer schedule.
Work closely with our food partners and donors to ensure we have regular food donations and other donations to supply our daily provisions and track these.

IMPACT AND THE DIFFERENCE MADE

Impact - Our Meal Service

All hot meals are prepared from scratch, using fresh ingredients, on a daily basis. We rely on donations from local supermarkets and food businesses, City Harvest, Fare Share, The Felix Project, Critical Support, KFC, Nandos, individuals and local churches and schools, particularly at Harvest Festival time.

A full list of our food partners (see appendix 1).

Accordingly, records have been kept on a daily basis (from a physical count) of the number of guests accessing our hot food takeaway service. Note, the statistics below do not include the extra meals given to our guests at the end of the lunchtime service from food that is ‘left over’.

This has satisfied demonstrable needs — particularly financial hardship and hunger.

We served 38,302 meals (previous year was 37,595). We also continued to serve seconds on a daily basis with any leftover food for guests.
Our driver made 709 food collections for surplus food and harvest donations.
- Our highest number of clients entering on one day was 214 clients (previous year 204 guests).

Impact - Daily Interventions from our Support Workers

We have estimated around 10,000 interventions a year (around 40 a day) — be that topping up a phone, helping someone find clothing, with a travel ticket or food voucher, shower or much more.
We counted a total of 1030 showers offered in the year.
In general, around 30 people per week access clothing, 30 people per week access laundry, 30 people per week access the IT suite and 100 people per week access shower gel, hygiene products, razors, toothbrushes and toothpaste etc.
2488 bus tickets were issued to guests enabling them to travel to vital medical appointments.

Impact - Onsite Support to clients

Support Worker sessions are more dedicated one to one support with a client in areas such as housing, finance and benefits, transport, physical health, mental health, referrals. Detailed sessions are logged.

The Case Workers collectively had 548 direct meetings with clients involving casework with 159 different guests.

This was a total of 315 casework hours (215 hours in 2023 — 24).

Impact - Our partners on site also provide the following support:

Glass Door provide dedicated Case Worker sessions 4 days a week at our Ace of Clubs site and saw 1,176 guests — 68% male and 31% female (last year 989 guests) for case work sessions with 477 outcomes (last year 344 outcomes) in the areas of housing, financial, benefits, immigration, visas, health and others) - with the highest outcome being in housing.
- Our onsite NHS nurses visited twice a week and supported 361 HIT consultations with 150 distinct patients.
Onsite mental health teams supported guests at least twice a week.
Other onsite providers such as eye, podiatry, employability - supported our guests on around a monthly basis or in some cases more regularly.
The dental van did not visit for a few months due to an NHS funding gap, but since January 2025 the dental team been seeing up to 8 patients a week at Ace of Clubs — supporting over 150 visits for treatment.

Partner meetings were also held quarterly, ensuring vital feedback from our partners. These meetings also support vital safeguarding of our guests and ensure a more collaborative and personcentred approach for all our guests. We have found these partnerships particularly helpful when navigating complex, safeguarding cases, such as a guest who is experiencing domestic abuse from their partner at home/outside of the centre — both who attend the centre.

Impact - Guest Feedback

179 guest surveys were carried out within a 12-month period (compared to 42 guest surveys the previous year)

98% rated the team as good or excellent (4/5 or 5/5)

98% of guests would recommend Ace of Clubs (94% last year)

100% of guests interviewed accessed our food service.

89% rated the food as a 4/5 or 5/5 (92% last year)

Service User Meetings

We held 4 Service User Meetings in a 12-month period ensuring guests could feedback on our services and highlight any concerns.

In addition to gaining the stats from the surveys, we also appreciated anecdotal feedback from guests which guided some of our additional services offered this year.

Impact - Volunteering

Our volunteers support in a range of ways from helping with preparing vegetables and food, our front desk, serving food and refreshments, lunch service, maintaining our food stall, co-ordinating our clothing and shower services. Their contribution is vital for the smooth running of our service each day.

In our most recent volunteer survey, 95% of our individual volunteers rated their experience as a 4/5 or a5/5 (an average rating of 4.8). Note: this survey was after this Annual Accounts period as we did not previously have a volunteer survey.

108 corporate partnership days involving 42 companies and 478 corporate volunteers
76 individual volunteers (73 last year) — 20% of these were guest volunteers.
11 volunteers supported from Probation Services carrying out community service
Ourvolunteers donate over 15,660 volunteer hours a year.
The monetary value of our volunteers per year is over £219,240 (based on 15,660 volunteers a year at £14 an hour).

Throughout our 30" Anniversary year we shared our activities on social media, our website, leaflets and e-communications. This was vital to communicate updates about our services and reach new audiences.

In a 12-month period:

However, as a small charity with limited communications resource, we thank all of the organisations that really supported us in our 30" Anniversary year to leverage our communications, enabling us to reach new audiences.

As a small team we are very grateful for this leverage and partnership working, not only raising the profile of our work but also enabling other organisations to show their audiences the value of their vital contributions to Ace of Clubs.

Locally we were involved in a number of interviews such as Riverside Radio:

Riverside Breakfast with Jason Rosam and Battersea Power Station - Tuesday 18th February 2025 Best of Clapham also shared our work reaching thousands of local residents.

We also thank all those individuals and corporate teams who shared about their experiences or volunteering day on their own platforms on social media. This endorsement of our work really means so much to us when we can share this with our audiences.

OUR PEOPLE

Our Guests

Here is the journey of one of our guests:

K’s Story

When| first came to Ace of Clubs in Clapham, | was at one of the lowest points in my life. | was homeless, struggling with addiction, and unsure how to rebuild any sense of stability.

| walked through Ace’s doors looking for food and warmth — but what | found was a community that helped me rediscover hope and direction.

My support worker at Ace of Clubs helped me navigate benefits, professional guidance, and practical steps toward recovery. And more importantly, she took the time to understand who | was behind the struggle. She reminded me that | still had value and a future worth fighting for.

Ace of Clubs Clapham brought me into a community where | felt seen and valued. The volunteers and staff—always ready with a warm meal, a kind word, or simply a listening ear—created an environment where | could heal. This compassionate space gave me routine, stability, and a sense of belonging.

Today, I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. I’m more stable, stronger mentally, and far more hopeful about my future. Ace of Clubs Clapham has had an immeasurable impact on my life. They didn’t just help me survive hardship—they helped me start over, with dignity and purpose.

This guest is now in our volunteer programme and has quickly becomea well-loved and valued volunteer. They are also back in employment and working on many other exciting ventures.

Our Trustees and Trustees’ Volunteer Management Committee

The Trustees and Management Committee bring a range of professional experiences to their volunteer governance roles. Please see more about this group under our Constitution and Governance section.

Our Staff Team

The staff team consisted of a Director, Centre Manager, Senior Support Worker (part-time), Support Worker, Chef and Driver (who collects donations). A Community and Volunteering Co-ordinator started in January 2026. In addition, we hire an independent qualified Security Guard to cover our lunchtime shifts who manages the entry door to our centre and is available to support the staff team during our busy lunchtime period.

Our charity is an accredited London Living Wage Employer ensuring all our staff receive London Living Wage.

Our Volunteer Team

Each day we have around ten volunteers on site supporting the day to day functions and running of our centre. Roles include food preparation and serving, cleaning, distributing food and clothing, coordinating shower visits, signposting, maintenance, advocacy, fundraising and community support and much more! We have volunteers from our local community, our guest volunteers who are looking to gain experience and give back to the centre and also community service volunteers provided by probation services. Alongside this, corporate partnership teams regularly volunteer, further bolstering our volunteer support. We pride ourselves on the diversity and inclusivity of our volunteer team who are able to adapt well to the needs of our guests.

Our volunteers go through a thorough onboarding process and are provided with a Handbook, regular risk assessment, health and safety and safeguarding briefings, support and training provision to ensure they are fully inducted into their role.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The full details of the financial activities of the Charity are shown on the following pages of the Report and Accounts. There was a deficit for the year of £602 on unrestricted funds (2024 surplus: £24,554).

Donations and grants were received from a combination of charitable trusts and other charities, individuals, businesses, churches, schools and events. Details are given in Note 2 of the Accounts. No statutory or government funding is received by the charity.

The Trustees are grateful to everyone who has supported the Charity during this financial year, both large and small, which enables the charity to carry out its valuable work and will continue to explore new funding avenues. The priority continues to be to develop further long-term funding relationships that satisfy core running costs but also build on and diversify our current funding network.

The meal ticket scheme operated by the Ace of Clubs facilitates the giving of support to vulnerable and homeless people on the street, but also provides a valuable option for members of the general public to support those less fortunate in society by providing access to a hot meal.

RESERVES POLICY

The Reserves Policy is reviewed annually and approved by the Trustees.

The Trustees keep the level of Reserves under review, by employing regularly updated forecasts and projections of the known pattern of income and the proposed level of outgoings for at least twelve months ahead.

The Trustees are aiming at free reserves to cover at least three months but working towards six months reserves.

The total funds held as at the yearend were £224,884 (2024 £265,147), of which £41,720 (2024 £25,244) was restricted funds and £21,536 (2024 £41,957) designated fund to cover the future depreciation of fixed assets, and £56,085 (2024 £91,802) Buildings Improvement Fund and the Buildings Maintenance Fund, leaving £105,542 (2024 £106,144) unrestricted reserves.

The combined unrestricted reserves plus the buildings improvement fund and the buildings maintenance fund, totalling £161,627 represents 5 months of Reserves — (based on our expenditure of £422,800 minus depreciation costs of £20,586 = £402,214 expenditure).

The designated depreciation fund is allocated to cover the depreciation of fixed assets.
- The Buildings Improvement Fund was previously set aside from our Reserves by our Trustees to ensure we had sufficient funds to maintain the building and premises that we operate from to ensure our sustainability.
The Buildings Maintenance Fund is an additional building and premises fund donated by a corporate donor to ensure our sustainability. This was largely spent in the last two financial years on our building maintenance and the health and safety of the building and the balance was spent shortly after this financial year end.
- Restricted Funds may only be used for the purposes specified by the donor and only expenditure meeting these criteria is allocated to each fund. Any grants which remain unspent at the year-end will be held as restricted reserves subject to any specific funding terms attached to the grants. These may only be used for the purposes in accordance with the terms of the grants received.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees Committee reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied appropriate controls are in place to mitigate its exposure. Risk management is taken to meetings, particularly around health and safety, safeguarding and incidences, funding and financial updates and forecasts.

The charity carried out a full Health and Safety Risk assessment with the support of external experts. This ensured all areas of the charity operations were reviewed in terms of risk - with recommendations around policies and procedures. A Planned Preventative Maintenance buildings survey was also carried out from a property company. In addition, a yearly Fire Safety Assessment from London City Fire Group. Service checks of our utilities and premises are regularly scheduled according to recommended health and safety guidelines.

Our charity continues to hold a 5-star food hygiene rating from the Food Standards Agency.

FUTURE PLANS AND FINANCES

The Trustees are committed to developing our strategic plans for the future growth of the Ace of Clubs while maintaining the core services that remain in high demand among our guests.

Our 30" Anniversary year has demonstrated a firm foundation on which to build our operations on. We increased our budget in 2024 — 25 by bringing in a dedicated post for volunteer co-ordination in January 2025. We therefore had forecasted some deficit for yearend, but endeavoured to bridge that gap by applying for new grants.

We have now built back our deficit at the start of 2025 — 26 with new grants that came in shortly after 2024 — 25 year-end and our subsequent successful Banquet of Hope fundraiser. Therefore, the charity continues to be ona financially firm footing with sufficient reserves, in line with our Reserves Policy.

OUR CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNANCE

The organisation is a charitable Company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14 July 1995 and registered as a Charity on 8 May 1996. The Company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the Charitable Company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the Company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

In March 2012 the Trustees amended the Charity's Articles of Association to allow the formation of a Trustees' Committee. They have delegated day to day management of the Charity to this Committee. This consists of three Redemptorists and up to five non- Redemptorists from the local community.

The Trustees’ Management Committee

Director and Centre Management staff team

The Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and policy making of the charity, and have through the committee regulations, delegated all matters relating to the day-to-day management and operation of the charity to the Trustees’ Management Committee.

The Trustees’ Management Committee meets at least six times a year for formal meetings. Information provided by the Director and senior staff at the charity around daily operations is reviewed and approved from a governance perspective. Key information is then taken to our Board of Trustees for further approval.

The day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services by the charity is the responsibility of the Director, assisted by the Centre Manager and other paid staff, with the assistance of volunteers.

RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW TRUSTEES AND OUR MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The Trustees are elected by the members of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer for a period of four years, with the possibility of re-election at the end of each four-year period. In all matters relating to finance and civil law the Trustees are aware of the importance of seeking appropriate professional advice.

RELATED PARTIES

Ace of Clubs is ultimately controlled by the Trustees of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer which continues to provide premises at a heavily subsidised rental cost of £30,000 per annum.

Ace of Clubs is related to Redemptorist Publications, a registered charity, by virtue of the common control by the same group of Trustees. Redemptorist Publications also provides payroll and administrative services to the Ace of Clubs, including payment of salaries in advance of reimbursement.

The Congregation also oversees the management of a charity shop in Clapham, with the objective of generating profits which are ring-fenced and restricted and can only be used by the Ace of Clubs charity upon request and approval. However, for financial reasons the Trustees of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer made a decision to close the Charity shop in December 2025. This was approved by Ace of Clubs Trustees Management Committee.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The Trustees, who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (2006 Act).

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 ail 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

the accounts do not accord with those records: or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination: or

4, the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of ireland {FRS 102).;

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 July 2025

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation offinancial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relavent accounting volicv below.

1.2 Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

1.3 Going concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. At the time of approving the financial statements, there are good levels of secured income and a strong fundraising pipeline for the financial year 2024-25.

1.4 income

Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from grants, whether 'capital' or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The charity receives donated food. The estimated value of this food and other consumables and used by the Ace of Clubs of £19,151 (2024 £19,000) has been included in the accounts.

In accordance with Charities SORP (FRS 102) the value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts. Refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administrating such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.11 Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.12 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliability. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount due.
