Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Chairman's Statement for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
During the period under review, the Panel continued to further its aim of “making Battersea a safer place to live, work and play.” It continues to manage and support projects, initiatives and schemes which include:
-
promoting crime prevention measures with young people including, in conjunction with outreach and sessional worker, many considered to be at risk.
-
supporting crime prevention activities in Battersea and Balham organised by other organisations such as the Police (including Safer Neighbourhood Teams), Wandsworth Borough Council and organised clubs.
-
initiating crime prevention projects focussing on young people but also supporting issues which relate to the elderly and developing these in conjunction with other organisations.
-
the Battersea Summer Scheme, a youth diversion project which provides resources and activities to enable young people of Battersea and Balham to take part in constructive, challenging and recreational activities during the summer holidays.
The activities and operation of the Panel, as well as its partners, were severely curtailed by coronavirus lockdowns. Throughout the year meetings were held online. Summer Scheme activities were significantly curtailed. The Battersea Ball was cancelled which has seriously affected the Panel’s finances.
In April the Panel provided funding to St John Bosco College for the purchase of laptop computers to support distance learning for their most vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils.
The Panel had supported a Young Entertainers Showcase (YES) in the previous year. The climax of that project was to have been a show staged at the Clapham Grand. The show was cancelled due to coronavirus restrictions leaving half of the funding unused. As pandemic restrictions were still in place at the year’s end the Panel approved the use of this balance for the development and production of music videos building on the YES work.
The Panel maintained its working relationship with Wandsworth Borough Council’s youth services and the Borough Early Intervention Team (BEIT).
In spite of coronavirus Battersea Summer Scheme ran a programme of events in 2020, albeit a reduced one. The 4-day Summer in the Park event was cancelled but other events including two residential trips, day trips, sports, and arts and crafts workshops took place. The Great Battersea Bake Off that had been organised so successfully the previous summer was repeated in a modified and socially-distanced format.
Support has been provided for football coaching on the Doddington estate as part of a community-driven programme of wellbeing, safety and job-training.
The Panel maintained its working relationship with the local police and Wandsworth Borough Council’s Community Safety Department both of which are represented at the monthly Panel meetings. A grant was provided to the police to purchase robbery prevention packs for use in a crime reduction drive aimed at Year 6 school children. The Panel funded bike-marking kits to the Community Safety Department for use at community events in Battersea and Balham.
The Panel has been represented at meetings of the Crimes Against Older People Forum to better inform themselves of issues in this area. The Panel provided a small grant to support the Forum and is ready to provide further support as and when suitable proposals come forward.

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Chairman's Statement for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
The Panel applies to external funders for support with specific projects, especially in respect of the Summer Scheme. By far the largest single source of funds for the Panel is the Battersea Ball that, due to coronavirus, was cancelled this year; this had a serious effect on the Panel’s income. Calls on the Panel’s funds were lower than in previous years and the balance sheet was still reasonably healthy at the year-end. However careful management of the Panel’s finances will be needed in the immediate future. The Battersea Ball is scheduled to take place in December 2021.
For many years the Panel has made a grant to the Summer Scheme to cover its administration and salary costs. In March the trustees decided, with regret, that they could not support this generosity in the coming year and reduced this grant by 50%.
Members of the Panel continued to raise awareness of the existence of the Panel and its work although the opportunities to do so were severely curtailed.
Many Panel members are involved in other crime prevention, advisory and community groups in the Borough including the Knife Crime Forum, Crimes Against Older People Forum, Stop and Search Monitoring, Volunteer Appropriate Adult Scheme, Safer Neighbourhood Board, to name a few. They use the knowledge gleaned to inform the work of the Panel.
This has been a challenging year for the Panel. The preceding paragraphs give an overview of the work the Panel has supported over the year. Calls on the Panel’s funds have been modest while the cancellation of the Battersea Ball drastically reduced the Panel’s income. As always, careful budgeting and financial planning will be practised to ensure the ongoing viability of the Panel.
The Panel has given up the small office space within Carney’s Community building and relocated to a shared space in Caius House. With coronavirus restrictions it has not been possible to use this space so far.
The Panel exists through the huge amount of time that so many volunteers give to its running, its projects and both the Ball and the Summer Scheme; many of these volunteers work unseen behind the scenes. The Panel is looking for new members to participate in its work. Panel members bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and no special qualifications are needed, just a will to support the Panel’s aim of “making Battersea a safer place to live, work and play.”

Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Trustees
Mr Charles Jones
Mrs Catherine Meacock
Mrs Henrietta Croker Poole MBE
Mrs Marlene Gwen Price BEM
Col Martin Stratton CBE
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. This is a directors’ report required by s417 of the Companies Act 2006 and all trustees are directors. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The Company which is limited by guarantee and has no share capital, was incorporated on 12 March 1999 and commenced to operate on 1 April 1999 when it took over the assets, liabilities and operation of the Battersea Crime Prevention Panel (unincorporated).
Objectives of the Charity and its principal activities
The Panel is established for the general benefit of the public:
(i) to promote the encouragement of greater public participation in the prevention and solution of crime;
(ii) to assist the police in measures designed to reduce the level of crime;
(iii) to provide recreational and leisure time activities for young people, in the interest of crime prevention and social welfare;
(iv) to promote, for the benefit of the public in partnership with the Police and other organisation including the Council, the protection of people and property from, and the prevention of, criminal acts.
During the period under review, the Panel continued its work in furthering its aim of “making Battersea a better and safer place for people to live, work and play.” It continues to manage and support local projects, schemes and initiatives, including:
The Battersea Summer Scheme, a youth diversion project which provides additional resources to enable young people in Battersea to take part in constructive social and recreational activities in the summer holidays.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Results of financial activities
The results for the year are as shown on the attached financial statement and the Board of Trustees consider the state of affairs of the company to be satisfactory.

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
We continue to value the Summer Scheme which provides a programme of subsidised organised events, throughout the holidays. Due to covid-related restrictions the Battersea Ball did not take place. The Ball is the mainstay of the Panel’s income base and this has had a significant effect on the charity’s finances. The trustees have taken steps to mitigate the effects of this reduction in income. The Battersea Ball is scheduled to take place in December 2021.
We acknowledge the hard work and commitment of our many volunteers who over the year have given hundreds of hours of their time to the Panel’s activities.
Free reserves at 31 March 2021 were £109,291 (2020: £158,374), which is available to be spent on the aim of the charity – making Battersea a better and safer place to live, work and play. Restricted funds at 31 March 2021 were £125,138 (2020: £53,377). This is deemed prudent in the current economic climate. Our designated fund of £9,139 is set out in note 16 to the financial statements.
Reserves policy
The trustees reviewed and revised their reserves policy during the year under review and have agreed that the annual budget for future years must show an end-of-year balance of not less than £50k.
Investment policy
All available funds are invested in deposit accounts.
Grant-making policy
All grants are authorised by the Panel in regular meetings. Grants are only authorised if they support the aim of the charity.
Trustees
The trustees who are also the directors of the charity who served during the period under review to date are set out on the information page at the front of these accounts.
All trustees must retire at each Annual General Meeting and may be re-elected by vote of the members. Any other person wishing to become a trustee must be recommended by the existing Trustees or be proposed by a member with at least 14 days notice, and then elected by vote of the members.
Risk assessment
The Panel has in place a strategy of imaginative and thoughtful fund-raising and appeals for public grants, which has to date proved markedly successful. We intend to continue this strategy.
Counterbalancing this very positive approach, the Panel’s ethic is never to spend more than our actual income.
The Panel’s income has been hit by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Reflecting their prudent budgeting and financial planning the trustees have taken steps to mitigate the damage of these effects.
Thus the future sustainability of the Panel is totally pragmatic, governed by common sense, reality and a determination to continue our work and with the positive support of Wandsworth Borough Council and the local Area Commander of the Metropolitan Police.

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
The Panel’s Public Liability Insurance cover is reviewed regularly by the trustees as is the insurance covering specific events organised by the Panel. The Panel’s funds are deposited with a UK clearing bank protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
We foresee no impediments to the future viability of the Panel.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small companies provision statement
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
Approved by the trustees of the charity on 24 November 2021 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 8 to 19.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
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
-
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)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: 70 Royal Hill Greenwich London SE10 8RF
The principal place of business is: 20 Priory Road Cheam Sutton Surrey SM3 8LN
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 24 November 2021.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Second edition October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Page 10
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the periods in which the estimate is revised where revisions affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revisions affects both current and future periods.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Page 11
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant provisions
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Office equipment
Depreciation method and rate 25% straight line method
Page 12
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

19 COVID 19
The charity’s activities continued to be affected throughout the year by the Covid-19 pandemic; this is described in more detail in the trustees’ report. Face-to-face meetings were cancelled from March 2020. All Panel meetings, trustees’ meetings and the AGM were held online. These arrangements continued throughout this financial year and it is intended to continue on this basis until at least January 2022. The Summer Scheme’s activities were curtailed. The 2020 Ball was cancelled which severely affected the charity’s income however, at the time of writing, the 2021 Ball is scheduled to take place on 15 December. Requests for financial support from the charity fell significantly during the year and have remained low. The charity remains confident that it will be able to continue its activities in the coming years.
