COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OF NEW ELTHAM NEW ELTHAM LIBRARY BUILDING, SOUTHWOOD ROAD, NEW ELTHAM SE9 3QT C.A.N.E. is a Registered Charity No. 1066788
ANNUAL REPORT 2025 SECRETARY/TRUSTEES
The Trustees have asked me to advise about some of their activities which are quietly proceeding in the background in support of the long-term objectives CANE.
It is true that by the efforts of staff and volunteers CANE has operated successfully in support of the local community for nearly 30 years. Although registered as a charity the organisation has always used its assets to generate income, remaining financially independent from the need of external charity donations.
However as advised earlier this year at Committee the Trustees felt that the existing CANE Governing Document/Constitution did not reflect the actual CANE operating setup. No-cost professional advice was sought and it is apparent that substantial legal costs would be incurred in making any changes. Of course any document change would be in accordance with a standard template from the Charity Commission. This work is proceeding and eventually an action plan will be reported to the Committee. Please understand that the Trustees will lead this Working Group although constructive comments from individuals will be considered.
In the meantime an interim CANE structure document is available setting out the various parts of our organisation with functions and responsibilities. This will make clear the various roles that apply and which are contributing to help run the organisation.
After the AGM, as usual the final CANE audited accounts for 2024-25 will be sent to the Charity Commission website. Last year they were late but this year they will be submitted on time.

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION of NEW ELTHAM Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees
| report to the Trustees and members of the Community Association of New Eltham on the accounts of the Charity for the tweive months which are set out on pages 2 to 6.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner
The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006 and 2011) and that an Independent Examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended);
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under 43 (7)(b) of the Act, as amended); and
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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In the course of my examination no matter has come to my attention:
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
----- Start of picture text -----
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act;
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
