## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The main objectives of the Charity are to promote charitable purposes in particular, to advance education and vocational training, protect health, relieve poverty, sickness and distress, relieving unemployment and in particular, providing recreation and leisure facilities in the interests of social welfare.
## **Significant activities**
The Charity achieves its objectives described above mainly through its social enterprise trading subsidiary Peepul Enterprises Limited which provides Gym, Sports, Children's Nursery, Theatre attached to Bars and Restaurant, the performing arts and in general Art facilities to the public.
In addition, the Peepul Centre charity provides space for various charitable groups like women's groups, coffee mornings for community groups, small fund raising activities for other causes like cancer research and various other activities at the Centre.
Peepul Centre started a new department Peepul Health under which nutrition advice and products are provided to the communities and a pilot NHS Crisis Cafe is being launched in 2022.
The Trustees conduct a regular review of the stated objectives and are satisfied that all of these activities stated above are being delivered for the public benefit. As a result of these activities stated above a number of community organisations have benefited from meeting space, arts and music events, and conferences and training in partnership with public bodies.
Peepul Centre meets the requirements and needs of a high quality conference centre, fitness centre, provision of children’s nursery activities, and theatre and arts activities.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.
## **Volunteers**
During the year volunteers helped to deliver the food to the vulnerable communities and NHS used several volunteers also in its vaccination hub at Peepul Centre.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
Peepul Centre being used a Covid vaccination hub benefited the local communities for the entire year whilst the restaurant kitchen continued to provide and deliver free food for the vulnerable well into the year.
Our Peepul Health department gave online and in-person talks for fitness and food nutrition for a healthy living.
Peepul Enterprises Ltd activities although curtailed continued their children’s Nursery in a fuller activity as parents began to return to work and our Gym facilities were all used more as people generally began to come out of the lockdowns.
Our research and development project was funded by ACE, which continued in 2022, and for our free food and healthy nutrition and fitness programmes we received a generous grant of £100,000 from Barclays.
Other activities under Peepul Enterprises Ltd continued developing post-pandemic under social enterprise business rates. The NHS rented the theatre and other spaces which helped us with the cashflow, which meant we did not need to apply for the ACE's culture and recovery fund to meet our theatre overheads.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE – continued**
## **Fundraising activities**
The charity relies on grant aid from the donors identified in the accounts , whose support is valued. There have been no other fundraising activities this year, apart from our normal social enterprise activities.
## **The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity.**
Several community groups benefit from the free use of the Centre. These groups are women's educational groups, other vulnerable groups, art-groups, disabled sports groups and other charity organisations who hire rooms at nominal rates.
The Peepul Centre Charity provides facilities for sports and fitness, children's nursery, performing arts for the local communities at reasonable rates.
The Charity continued to provide free meals for the vulnerable and NHS staff, and delivered over 100,000 cooked meals by the summer of 2021, with the very generous support of the Barclays Food Project Fund.
NHS used the Peepul Centre as a vaccination centre throughout the year and until April 2022, after which two purpose built rooms were created for the NHS to continue their Booster programme.
## **The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.**
During the year 2021, the core activity of Peepul Centre was to help the NHS deliver its vaccination programme to the local communities.
## **The significant charitable activities undertaken in the year.**
This has been our free food delivery and nutrition and fitness talks during the year.
## **How the achievements during the year measure up to the objectives set.**
The year was still one of coming out of the Covid pandemic with free food projects and NHS vaccination hub, whilst the Peepul Enterprises Ltd activities began to develop again.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities shows a net income for the year ending 31 December 2021 of £1,607 (2020 - £10,795).
Income included rents received for the use of the Centre as the Covid Vaccination Hub of £540,000 (2020 - £20,000), commercial rents of £108,533 (2020- £108,230), grant income for the delivery of charitable projects, income from delivering charitable activities and trading income through the subsidiary Peepul Enterprises Limited. Other grant income was also received from the government to support the Charity through the Covid-19 pandemic. Total income for the year amounted to £1,533,808 (2020 - £1,222,529).
Total expenditure for the year was £1,532,201 (2020 - £1,211,734).
Although the Covid-19 pandemic restricted some of the charity’s activities and income streams, in particular their restaurant, bar, gym and theatre facilities, the contract for using the centre as a Covid Vaccination Hub boosted the group’s overall income. Total income from the contract was £816,835 (2020 - £20,000, including rent charged of £540,000 (2020 – 20,000) and allowed us to meet our objective of providing facilities to the community.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW – continued**
## **Reserves policy**
As at 31 December 2021 the group had total reserves of £4,456,785 (2020 - £4,455,178), £63,376 of which was held in restricted funds (2020 - £114,427).
Unrestricted funds includes £806,000 (2020 - £806,000) held in a fair value reserve which arose on the valuation of a proportion of the property which is used for investment purposes.
After making allowances for restricted funds held and funds of £4,435,599 (2020 - £4,480,244) that can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets and the proportion of the property classified as investment property, the group had negative residual reserves as at 31 December 2021 of £60,190 (2020 - £139,493).
Peepul Centre is redefined now as a South Asian Arts and Wellbeing Centre which will be specifically developed over the years whilst its subsidiary Peepul Enterprise Ltd will continue developing its present activities for all communities.
## **Going concern**
The Trustees are of the opinion that with the continued support of the group’s ultimate parent charitable company, The Ethnic Inclusion Foundation (EIF), the group's future is secure. The Trustees of EIF are committed to supporting Peepul Centre and Peepul Enterprises Limited for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In addition, the freehold property comprising the Peepul Centre is free of any mortgage charges. However, the property was built in 2006 with the financial assistance of the Big Lottery, the Arts Council England and the Leicester City Council who hold a covenant charge on the property.
The trustees expect the company to have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Peepul Centre's short term aims and objectives are to redevelop the theatre and performing arts and also work for the wellbeing of the communities after the pandemic. During the Pandemic the theatre was closed and throughout the year 2021 it was used as a vaccination hub.
However, we used this period to carry out a research and development project in conjunction with the Arts Council England (ACE). We also obtained a Home Office Licence to bring artists from India to perform on a short term basis. Due to the NHS vaccination residency this year we formed a Peepul Health department under which we have started a Crisis Cafe in 2022 as a 12 month pilot project.
Peepul Centre's long term aims are to obtain a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) status with ACE so that the theatre can function fully resourced to develop the arts and the artists. On the health and wellbeing, we aim to continue bidding successfully.
Peepul Enterprises Ltd, a 100% owned trading arm of Peepul Centre continues to develop its social enterprise activities in children’s nursery, fitness and gyms, and hire of the theatre and other facilities to other art and business entities, whilst the restaurant is used for party bookings only for the time being but again as we come out of the pandemic the business conferences and weddings will be redeveloped.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **FUTURE PLANS – continued**
Peepul Centre's strategies presently are to regain the business and art activities lost during the pandemic but for a long term self-sufficiency, we are implementing the recommendations coming out of the research and development project as alluded to in the above section on arts and wellbeing in particular.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

Whilst the Board of Trustees meet quarterly, the Chairman keeps the Board of directors informed of all major issues regularly. The Trustees oversee any surplus created through the social enterprise activities and any public funds, as restricted, for any charitable projects, to ensure such funds are expended properly in the relevant projects for maximum public benefit.
## **Organisational structure**

## **Key management remuneration**
The senior management team of the charity are in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Charity on a day to day basis. All directors give their time freely and no director receives remuneration in the year from the charity Peepul Centre itself, although they receive a remuneration from the charity's business trading arm Peepul Enterprises Ltd.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Peepul Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **ACCOUNTS FILING DELAYS**
The charity and its subsidiary changed auditors in June 2022 due to the health and well-being of the previous auditor. In October 2022 the incoming auditors informed us of their decision to give a 'qualified' report as they had not been able to get information from the outgoing auditor on opening balances. However, it took some time for the outgoing auditor to retrieve the files after which he gave the information by midDecember 2022. We were led to believe that the audit would be then finished by the end of December 2022 but with their key audit staff being on leave in December 2022 and busy on other work in January 2023 they resumed their work in February 2023 to finish by early March 2023. The audit was done extensively by email during 2022 with a short half-day visit to the Peepul Centre premises in February 2023. The delay in the filing of financial statements is not expected to recur in subsequent periods.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 15 March 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Peepul Centre**
## **Qualified Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Peepul Centre (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities (incorporating an income and expenditure account), consolidated and parent charitable company balance sheets, consolidated cash flow statement and notes to the consolidated cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for qualified opinion**
We were not appointed as auditor of the group until after 31 December 2020. We were unable to audit the opening balances as at 1 January 2021 and were unable to use alternative means to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to support the opening balances. As such, we are unable to conclude that the opening balances do not contain misstatements that materially affect the group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 1 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
Page 8
## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Peepul Centre**
As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the opening balances at 1 January 2021 do not contain misstatements that materially affect the group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Directors included within the Report of the Trustees.
Arising solely from the limitation of our work referred to above:
- We have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
- We were unable to determine whether adequate and proper accounting records have been kept.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- Returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- The parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 6, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Page 9
**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Peepul Centre**
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
The capability to detect irregularities is based on the auditor identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## a) Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, the following approach was taken:
- Understanding the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
- - Consideration of the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
- Understanding the company's policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations and management of fraud risk, including documentation of instances of non-compliance of laws and regulations and instances of actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- Consideration of matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud;
- Understanding the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in through enquiry of management and those charged with governance and understanding the company's industry and sector. The key laws and regulations that were considered to have an effect on material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements included the Companies Act and tax legislation.
## b) Audit response to risks identified
Based on this understanding, the following audit procedures were designed and performed to respond to the risks identified.
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statement;
- Enquiring of management, those charged with governance and, where applicable, the company's solicitors concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and, where applicable, correspondence with regulators;
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
- Communication of potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remaining alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
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, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charitable companies subject to the small companies regime.
## **Basis of consolidation**
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its subsidiary (the 'Group') as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The company has the financial support of the ultimate parent company, The Ethnic Inclusion Foundation (EIF) who have agreed to provide this support for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the ultimate parent company's support was withdrawn or EIF was unable to continue to provide support. The directors firmly believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.
## **Statutory information**
Peepul Centre is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company's registered numbers and registered office address can be found in the Trustees' Report.
The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
## i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reviewed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current accounting estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty - continued**
## ii) Stocks
In determining stock provisions, future demand and selling price is evaluated and appropriate provisions are made to reflect the risk of obsolescence and impairment in carrying value. The provisioning policy is in place to ensure that the carrying value of stock recognised in the financial statements is the lower of cost and estimated selling price, in accordance with the stated accounting policy.
## iii) Classification of mixed-use property
In determining the proportions of the mixed-use property classified between tangible fixed assets and investment property, the Charity and the Group uses an estimate of the floor area that is occupied for earning rentals on a commercial basis compared to the total floor area of the freehold property and this portion is accounted for as investment property. The residual floor space is used either for delivering charitable activities or for general administrative purposes and is classified as a tangible fixed asset.
## iv) Investment property valuation
Investment properties are valued periodically using a yield methodology. This uses market rental values capitalised at a market capitalisation rate but there is an inevitable degree of judgement involved in that each property is unique and value can only be reliably tested in the market itself. Other inputs into the valuation are the annual rent per square metre and the capitalisation rate. The location, use and age of the property are also significant factors which are taken into consideration when determining the value of the property.
## **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.
Income from exchange transactions is income received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions.
Income from non-exchange transactions is income received from a donor without providing equal value in exchange and includes donations, grants and legacies.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
Membership income is recognised in the period to which the membership relates.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **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.
## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**
Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. All support costs are apportioned between activities in accordance with the floor area occupied by each activity.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost and includes land not being depreciated Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance and 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
## **Investment property**
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

**Peepul Centre**
**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Donated goods, facilities and services**
Donated goods are recognised at their fair value at the date of donation, unless it is impractical to measure reliably their fair value.
If it is impractical to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale or if the costs of valuation outweigh the benefit to users of the accounts and the charity of this information, the donated goods must then be recognised when they are sold.
Donated services and facilities are measured and included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity, being the amount the charity would pay in the open market for an alternative item that would provide the equivalent benefit to the charity.
## **Volunteers**
In accordance with the SORP, the contribution of volunteers is not measured and accounted for within income of the charity, however the Trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers.
## **Investments**
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.
## **Debtors**
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective rate of interest method, less any impairment.
## **Creditors**
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Government grants**
Government grants receivable are recognised in accordance with the performance model.

## **15. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT**
Grant income of £114,437 was awarded during the year ended 31 December 2020 but wasn't included in the financial statements.
Grant income of £4,800 had been recognised in the year ended 31 December 2020 when the Charity wasn't entitled to the income.
Depreciation of £5,600 per annum had been charged in error on the land element of freehold property.
Rental income of £1,500 had not been deferred as at 31 December 2020 when it related to the financial year ended 31 December 2021.
Income of £20,000 for the Covid Vaccination centre was received in January 2021 but was for the period 18 December 2020 - 31 December 2020 and therefore should have been accrued for at 31 December 2020.
A provision of £10,000 was required as at 31 December 2020 for a legal claim against the charity but this wasn't reflected in the balance sheet.
Investment property had previously been accounted for within tangible fixed assets under the cost model. The comparatives have been restated to account for this as investment property at fair value and remove the depreciation previously charged.
The above adjustments have increased reserves by £885,200 as at 31 December 2019 and increased reserves by £1,014,927 as at 31 December 2020.
