REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2024
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Activities
2023-24 was to bring in much needed funds to continue current and expand services. However, this proved very difficult with large funding applications being unsuccessful due to heavy investment in to council and statutory services. Whilst funders were supportive, they were unable to award the grants. We continue to work to improve our financial position.
Play and family work: Another busy and fun year; registering over 150 new children and young people; our total membership now stads at 610 children and young people aged 1 to 25 years, with and without disabilities. We have continued to see many parents and carers participate in activities with their children as per last year. We hope to see more of them over the coming years.
Youth Work: We had hoped to have recruited a compliment this year but had been unsuccessful. In the absence of providing our own service, we have Coffee Afrik who have been delivering sessions 2 evenings a week.
Partnerships and sharing knowledge: We have continued to make contacts and have worked closely with schools and other community organisations based in Tower Hamlets; SOUL, Paracarnival, Harry Gosling School.
Our staff team continued to engage in professional development in safeguarding, mental health and full first aid including paediatric first aid.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy
All funds not required for immediate use are invested in a deposit account.
Reserves policy
The current reserves policy states that the charity should carry sufficient reserves to meet its operational commitments for a period of 12 months. Our general reserves for the year ending 31st March 2024 were £55,840
FUTURE PLANS 2023-24
1) To expand play services to 5 days a week
2) Recruit new youthworkers and relaunch our youth service.
3 Continue to develop a range of complementary partnerships to provide outreach activities with families, informal learning and vocational training and social research; e.g. with the Attlee Foundation.
4) Secure longer term unrestricted funds to enable us to subsidise our pilot projects as well as other unfunded projects.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ATTLEE CENTRE
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Attlee Centre ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (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 the Company 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 the Company 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 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements and assessment of going concern
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£).
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimated and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the trustees to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets:
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Assets with a value below £1,000 are written off in the year of acquisition. Fixed assets with a value in excess of £1,000 are capitalised. Finance costs incurred as a direct result of part of the Leasehold property have been capitalised as part of the final cost. Depreciation is provided on fixed assets at rates at which will write off the cost or revalue amount of the assets over their useful economic lives.
Short leasehold - Over 20 years Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost
The carrying values are reviewed at the year end for impairment if circumstances indicate that the full carrying value may not be recoverable.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand

Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at their settlement amount.
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise of unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Attlee Centre Building: the fund represents the net book value of the property.
Family and Youth Project: the aim of the Attlee Youth Community Centre is to provide informal learning and community services through Play, generic youth activities and intergenerational work. In the past year we have catered for these services through two main projects: Attlee Families (incorporating Play) and Youth, which promotes healthy living through sports and diet and accredited youth activities.
The Big Lottery is a three year grant ending in 2016/17. The grant will provide funding for three full time staff, a community development manager, a volunteer coordinator and an administrator. The grant will also fund general running expenses, training, travel, consultancy and advice, legal costs and IT costs.
Garfield Weston Foundation, Jack Petchey, London Youth and East End Community Fund: these grants are received to support the overall aims of the Centre but are spent for the purposes specified by the funders.
Harry Gosling School; monies received to be spent on staff time for school play sessions.
Hummingbird; monies received to be spent on all play staff and some resoruces.
LBTH: Youth; Historical underspend but ringfenced for youth activities only. We have not been able to deliver a youth programme as we still have not managed to recruit appropriately qualified staff. This is on hold until we can fill the positions.
