Some clients have been excluded from school, or have yet to be allocated a place at school or college, and attend the Centre during term-time.
Some clients have completed all their educational opportunities, and are unable to find any employment. They therefore need somewhere that they can attend during the day that provides them with meaningful activities to help them develop their skills and abilities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025
The charity’s policy is to ensure that all its activities are undertaken by qualified and experienced staff, and always use the appropriate staff to client ratio.
The on-going backdrop of austerity measures has caused the organisation to pay careful attention to all financial matters, to ensure best value for money, and to maximize its efforts to raise funds, whilst maintaining high standards, and supporting the staff team by paying the London living wage to all members.
Relationships with other groups, charities and individuals
BPA has received support from the John Lyon's Charity for many years which has enabled them to increase the number of clients that they are able to work with, and the variety of activities which they are able to provide.
7. Financial Review
The financial results for the period are set out on pages 12 to 13.
Investment and Management Powers
These are vested in the Trustees' and are governed by the memorandum and articles of association of the
Reserves
The Trustees have examined the charitable company's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 6 and 12 months of the expenditure.
Budgeted expenditure for 2025/26 is £ 179,000 and therefore the target is £175,000 to £200,000 in general and restricted funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention

which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or

a) Accounting Bases
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the 2005 Revision of the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005. The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
b) Accounting convention anf going concern
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and fixed asset investments.
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements and have reviewed cash flow forecasts and budgets in performing this review.
The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
If the going concern basis were not appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to provide for any further liabilities that may arise and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets and long term liabilities as current liabilities.
The charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also
