Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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 as the pressures of the Pandemic, both financial and practical, have started to ease. Initiatives and schemes which include:
-
promoting crime prevention measures with young people in conjunction with outreach and sessional workers.
-
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 many of its partners, continued to recover from the disruption of the Pandemic. Panel meetings were held online. The Summer Scheme ran numerous day-trips, workshops and residential courses. We held the Battersea Ball once again. Close to 950 guests attended this popular and successful fund-raising party contributing £56,000 to our funds.
The Panel maintained its working relationship with Wandsworth Borough Council’s youth services department and with the Crimes Against Older People forum.
The Panel maintained its working relationship with the local police and Wandsworth Borough Council’s Community Safety Department both of which are represented at Panel meetings. A grant was provided to the Community Safety Department for bike-marking equipment. A grant was approved for the purchase of materials by the police to support their work addressing Violence against Women and Girls.
Battersea Summer Scheme ran a full programme of events in the summer of 2024 and ran 2500 day trips and five residential trips. For the first time the Scheme worked in partnership with Enable (Wandsworth Council’s partner delivering leisure and community services) to put on a five-day event with a huge range of physical and creative activities, the Big Play out, in Battersea Park. Unfortunately we were not able to run The Great Battersea Bake Off or Come Dine with Me Battersea but hope to be able to do so again next year as these inter-club competitions encourage interaction between the club members.
In May we held two brainstorming workshops to address several areas of concern around the Panel, the Summer Scheme and the Battersea Ball. It had become increasingly clear that many people were unaware that the three entities are, in fact, one and the same. These workshops were run by two facilitators and a full and comprehensive report and recommendations were provided to the trustees. We are now working through those recommendations to strengthen our organisation.
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 was held in November. Near to 950 guests enjoyed an evening of entertainment, dinner and dancing and raised £56,000 in the process. Although the Panel’s balance sheet looks reasonably healthy careful financial management must continue as we clear the ravages of the Pandemic.

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
The Panel made a grant to the Summer Scheme towards its administration and salary costs. Having had to limit this support for the previous three years the trustees felt able to restore this support to its pre-pandemic level.
Members of the Panel continued to raise awareness of the existence of the Panel and its work. 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.
The challenges of the last three years have eased but the Panel continued to operate cautiously. The preceding paragraphs give an overview of the work the Panel has supported over the year. Calls on the Panel’s funds continued to be modest. Holding the Battersea Ball once again produced a healthy addition to the Panel’s resources. As always, careful budgeting and financial planning will be practised to ensure the ongoing viability of the Panel.
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 will always welcome 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 and officers
The trustees and officers serving during the year were as follows:
Trustees: Sarah Banham (From 19 April 2023) Stuart Edwards Syeda Islam (From 19 April 2023) Charles Jones Freddie Morrison (From 19 April 2023) Henrietta Croker Poole MBE (Until 19 April 2023) Marlene Gwen Price BEM Col Martin Stratton CBE Chairman: Charles Jones Secretary: John David Hallmark
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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).

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
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.
We continue to value the Summer Scheme which provides a programme of subsidised organised events, throughout the holidays.
Free reserves at 31 March 2024 were £29,560 (2023: £55,692), 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 2024 were £60,382 (2023: £142,384). This is deemed prudent in the current economic climate. Our designated fund of £8,639 (2023: £9,139) is set out in note 18 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.
Page 4
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
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.
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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 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.
Page 5
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Trustees' Report
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the accounts of the Battersea Crime Prevention Panel (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes 9 to 20.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel 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.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
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.

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 31 January 2025.
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.
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

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
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.
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.
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.
Page 12
Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
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
Depreciation method and rate
Office equipment 25% straight line method
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.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
