Trustees, Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31 March 2025.
Annual Report 24-25
This year has seen a significant growth and development in all areas of our work.
We have increased our Staff team, the quantity and variety of services we offer and income by 750A to support
this growth and strengthen our reserves.
In April we appointed Brandi Levy as our Children's manager and Lead Worker. Her role is to be responsible for
and develop our existing after school and holiday clubs with children aged 4-11 and establish our new 'Thrive'
project working in partnership with Edward Wilson School to support and improve children's attendance and
wellbeing. Funded by John Lyon's the Thrive project has already had a big impact within the school with
attendance increasing over the year from 90.7/ to 94.50/. The project included whole school assemblies,
attendance reward trips, afterschool and holiday provision, a walking taxi service and therapy for targeted
children provided by the Catholic Children's Societv.
Another new initiative acr055 the year included starting an afterschool club for neurodiverse children in
primary schools, We had already established a similar club for secondary aged pupils so through providing a
club for primary age group we are able to support children and families across their school life. There is a ratio
of I staff for 2 children which enables us to focus activities tailored around the children's needs and interests
In January 2025 the local contingency hotels were closed to asylum seekers, the majority of whom were then
dispersed across London and the county. As a result, our project providing cooking and a weekly communal
meal for them adapted to welcome all local families, whilst still inviting the remaining asylum seekers.
After a couple of years in working with Westminster Housing and Everyone Active through providing
afterschool estate-based clubs we decided to end the project due to persistent low attendance. This was a
difficult decision to make with partners, but it has enabled us to start other after school provision, as
previously mentioned, with higher levels of attendance and engagement.
As a result of a very successful fundraising year, we have achieved three months reserve for the first time in 22
years of operation. The total Income received was £534,810 a 58Yo increase compared to the previous year
1£338,5331 and our expenditure was £472,494 a 33% increase compared to the previous year1£353,6711.
We continue to support staff and volunteers through an annual training, development and review program
and building management capacity through the new appointment of staff and releasing the CEO away from
delivery of activities to overseeing and developing the charity. Improving our services to support children and
families remains a focus and so we have been working on securing the NVCO frusted Standard level I to
ensure standards and expectations are high. We achieve this successfully in April 25, with the assessor stating
that our staff rated hope in the organisation higher that any other of the 60 organisations he has assessed.
As a Christian faith-based organi5ation, we are hopeful about the future, despite the many challenges for
children and families. We will continue to provide an inclusive environment adapting to meet local needs
alongside those whom we serve to strengthen families and support children in becoming responsible and
healthy adults.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Westbourne Park Family Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March
2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
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 l 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

report in respect of my examination of the Westbourne Park Family Centre's accounts carried out under
section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions
given by the Charity Commission under gection 14515llbl of the 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 l 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 examlner's statement
Since Westbourne Park Family Centre's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of
a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that l am qualified to undertake the examination
because l am a member of , which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection
with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in respect of Westbourne Park Family Centre as required by section
130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements toncerning the form and
content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any
requirement that the account5 give a 'true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an
independent examination.
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.

Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general
nature 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 with sufficient reliabilitv.
Donations und legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be
reliably measured.
Grants recelvable
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.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or construCt￿ve 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 charge5 allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in
trading activities that raise funds.
Churituble actlvitles
Chèritable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activitie5 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.
Support cost5
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a ba51S
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.

therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect ol 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.

Office equipment
Depreciation method and rate
20°A straight line
20% reducing balance
Fixed asset Investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the
balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales
proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited
to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or
charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or service5 performed in the ordinary
course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised
C05t using the effective interest method, le55 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 receivable5.
