The ethos of Sikh Gurdwara is centred on recognition of the complele equality of all human beings, including
the full equality of women, and a total commitrnent to a lrfe of service to God through service to His Creation.
This in turn, requires Sikh to work for personal s81f- improvement, while at the same tj'me striving for social
justice for all people. In the closing words of our Ardas.'SarbatkabhalS3' (the wellthing of all}. It is therefore
important that the ethos of our Gurdwara is reflective and supportive of what it means to be a Sikh.
While our religion respects the int8grity and equality of all people, and respecÉs and supports the right of
freedom of worship, the path of Sikhism has its own discipline and commitment. which wuiffjs a distinctive
Sikh ethos in our Gurdwara.
An important part of our faith is 'SEWA' an act of 'Semess Service, towards others; this takes the fomi of
various initiatives and activities either as an individual or collectively with ￿ community.

The Gurdwara facilrtates Birth. MarrFage and funeral services in accordance to both UK civil law and Sikh
Rehat Maryada (code of Sikh conduct).

Respectlve responsiblllties of trustees and exarnlner
As Ihe charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (Ihe Acf). The charity's trustees consider that an audtt is not
required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. I report in
respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under saction 145 of the 2011 Act and in
carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable directs'ons given by the Charity Commission under
section 145(5)(b} of th8 Act.
Basis of Independent examinerfs report
My examInat￿n was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accountiry records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes ￿nSIderatiOn of any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not proV￿e all the evKlence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is
given as lo whether the accounts present a 'true and faiff view and the report is limited to those matters set
OUÉ in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that rK) material matters have come to my attention in conneclion
with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect..
the accounting records were not kept in accordan￿ with Section 130 of the Act. or
the accounts did not accord with Ihe accounting records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in conneth'on with the examination to which
attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the flnancial statements
for the year ended 30th September 2024
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis and in accordance with
the Charities Act 2011 and related Regulations. the Statement of Recommended Practi￿ 'AcGounting
and Reporting by Charities" issued in January 2015 and applicable accounting standards.
As the charity's level of income is below £250,000 the management committee has opted for the
accounts to be prepared in a receipts and payment basis except in respect of payments for fixed
assets and Capital grants. This is in accordan￿ with the Charity Commission guiddines for small
chartties and is seen as more appropriate for this project.
Fund accounting
Incoming resources Éhat may be applied for the charities general purposes are treated as unrestricted
incoming resources and are credited to the unrestricted fund.
Where a donation or grant is required to be used for a spectfic purpose, the amount concemed is
treated as restricted income and is credited to the appropriate restricted fund.
1.3 Tanglble fixed assets
The freehold Gurdwara building and Communty Centre are stated at cost plus capitalised additions.
No depfeciation is provided as the trustees consider that this remains a fair refkctÉon of current value.
Trustees remuneratlon. benefits and expenses
There were no trustees, remuneration or other beneffts for the year ended 31Xh September 2024 nor for
the year ended 30th September 2023.
Previous year's comparlson
