Peepul Centre Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year. The Charity achieves ils objectives described above in the Asian Arts and Culture and wellbeing. with the assislence of public bodies, like ACE and NHS, and others, with a granl also from the parent charity EIF. Peepul Centre's Health Department runs a Mental Health Neighbourhood Crisis Cafe, in partnership wlh the NHS, during the year which has been a success story of making a positive heallh and wèllbeing impact on the local community. In addition. thè 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 other groups for women empowerment. The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit. The Trustees conduct a regular review of the slated objectives and are satisfied th31 all of Ihese activities slated above are being delivered for the public benefit. As a result of these activities a number of community organisations have benefited from its meeting spaces. arts and music events, and conferences and training in partnership with public bodies and with Trustees, aim to provide benefit to the larger local and regional community. The Trustees have had dile regard to Ihe Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.
Peepul Centre Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The short term and longer term aims and objectives. Peepul Centre's short term aims are to develop its Health programme in partnership with the NHS and its arts programmes in partnership with the Arts Council England {ACE). Our last year's ACE application for our 2024 programme of half a dozen events for £100k was rejected by the ACE Nottingham office assessors, who have consistently rejected all our applications over £30k since 2019. We have informed our ACE artreach officer about what we believe to be the reasons for this unfair treatment towards us. Since inception of the theatre in 2016 the ACE Nottingham offiGe has approved large funds for other theatres but ours one situated in the heart of the margenalised ethnic communily who cannot even afford the higher ticket prices, let alone invest in the creative arts, have not yet had the opportinuty lo be a National Portfolio Organisalion, an NPO, like the olhers. Indeed more and more organisalions are given the status of an NPO but we are rejected outright for even projects that may lead lo Ihal status. Our only consolation is that we are fortunate to have the advice of a very kind outreach officer from ACE and like before she advised us lo pul an application for under £30k as Ihal would be assessed by a panel not the Nottigham assessor. Lo and behold. the panel approved our applicalion. albeit a small sum of under £30k bul it was for one of the projects rejected by the Nottingham office. We continue to implore ACE to better address their diversity policy at the Nottingham office as il seems we come into ils geographical area. Peepul Theatre is a purpose built 314 seal theater with ACE funding of up lo £2m in 2005. The theatre was buill to give resilience to a poor margenalised community area. During 2006 the Peepul Centre promoted an organisalion lo gel established but then that organisation went lo other NPO'S and received its NPO slalus in London. Now the same organisation is given an NPO status for Leicesler for similar projects we had applied for but we got rejected outright. We are happy about the success of that organisalion bul we believe we are being suppressed for its success. Hence an NPO slalus continues to escape us, since 2006, and yel we are based in the heart of a minority ethnic margen31ised community, where art cannot be developed unless subsidised by ACE. The NHS partnership for health projects is working very positively and Ihe Peepul Centre is set to be community hub for community health intetventions in the medium term. The charity's strategies for achievlng its aims and objectives in the future. Peepul Centre Health Department is developing a much greater nelwork of some highly plad health professionals, the local Councils, health officers. the Leicester Health partnership networks and now does Iwo or three Health conferences a year al the Centre which are fully subscribed. There is an increasing aGlivily for the communiiy on health and wellbeing matters at the Cenlre. With the South Asian Culture and Arts we are continuing lo do our programmes to build evidence for our long desired ACE relationship. We believe once ACE is on board with us we will not look back as this relationship is the key to the success of the Charity and to help develop the British Asian arts wilh UK artists.
Peepul Centre Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 How the activities undertaken during the year contributed to the achievement of the aims and objectives. On South Asian Arts we ran successful Ghazal and folk arts programmes, albeit with a shoe string budget due lo ACE Nollingham Office being unkind lo us on funding. On Health the Mental Health Neighborhood Crisis cafe has gone fiom strength t0 strength and the NHS has eaimarked funding for four years foi ils conlinualion. Our ¢ommunity Mela on South Asian Arts and wellbeing was a resounding success, with large participation from local community businesses. Resources used in the activities undertaken during the year. The Elhnic Inclusion Foundation. the parent Charity, continued lo support the Peepul Centre activities. NHS partnership with the Peepul Health have kindly providèd funds to support those activities. The contribution of volunteers during the year. A number of volunteers were engaged by the Peepul Health division. Large number of volunteers are engaged on community events like Ihe Peepul Mela and our Diwali Tree Play for children Grant making policies and how these contributed to the achievement of the charity's aims and objectives during the year. Peepul Centre Charity is a large community arts and leisure centre with substantial overheads. Concerted efforts are being made to apply for public funding for projects.
Peepul Centre Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year. The Peepul Mela for South Asian Arts and wellbeing was a resounding success wilh the community. Our Enchanled Diwali Tree production goes from strengih to slrengih every year. The Crisis Cafe project with the NHS partnership is forming a solid health basis al the Peepul Centre. The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity. Several community groups continued lo benefit from the free use of the Cenlre. These groups are women's educational and empowerment groups, art-groups, disabled sports groups and other charity organisations who hire rooms at nominal rates. Peepul Centre charily provides facilites for sports and fitness, children's nursery, perfonning arts and rental of sppace to olher community based charities at very reasonable rates. The Mental Health Crisis Cafe was successful in giving relief to several patients sufferring al the edge of life and signposting them to gel the right treatments. The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society. All the setvices outlined above are for the benefit and resilience of the communities in the area and il is importanl to acknowledge that the Centre now is never short of a footfall, it has grown lo be well used and widely. The conslrainl remains in the theatre under-ulilisalion for a lack of properly funded arts projects. Peepul Health is growing stronger every year.
Peepul Centre Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The significant charitable activities undertaken in the year. Significant aclivilies during the year was the Peepul Mela and the Mental Health Crisis Cafe impacling individuals at the edge of life. Peepul Health runs professional mental health conferences usually oversubscribed by the communily and professionals The performance of material fundraising activities during the year against the fundraising objectives set. The Charity relies on grant aid from the donors identified in the accounts, particulary from the parent charity the Ethnic Inclusion Foundation generally and the specific projects grants from various public bodies. Expenditure Incurred in the year in order to raise income in the future. Expenditure is monitored closely due to cashflow Pressures and decisions are made by the Board to prudently spend in order to keep the Charity future prospects healthy.

The Trustees of Peepul Centre are approved by the Charity's ultimate controlling parer)l undertaking, the Ethnic Inclusion Foundalion (EIF). The Charity is a social enterprise as is ils parent EIF. The Chairman is a Trustee appointed as Mana9ing Director to run the entire EIF group, so as to first lun the group as a business in order to maximise surpluses for a charitable benefit to the public, and equally to minimise any trading risk for the directors who are liable for any departures under company law. Whilst the Board meets quarterly the Chairman keeps the Board of Directors informed regularly of major issues. The Trustees oversee any surplus created through the social enterprise activities and any public funds, as resliicted, for any charitable projects, to ensure such funds are expended properly in the relevant projects for maximum public benefit. The Charity advertises first for new Trustees and then through a short list mechanism invites them for interview lo assess their skill and input to the Charity before appointment.

The Trustees are generally senior skilled professionals who have experience of running other charilies and the Specialist business, legal and community relations skills needed lo run this group.

The articles provide for a minimum oflhree Trustees with no maximum limit. The Trustees meet on a regular basis and are responsible for Ihe overall policy for running the charity and advising on all matters relating lo staffing, finance and development. How the charity makes decisions and how decisions are delegated. The Board has delegated the authority to run the Charity lo ils Managing Direclor. who is also the Chairman of the Trust and Ihus as Chairman consults Ihe Board on any major issues as they arise before finalising such decisions bul the day to day decisions of running the Charity are pnmarily his responsibility. However, his style of work and decision making is done in a team-work environment, first by the senior management team meetings at Head Office and then by a system of Staff Managemenl Team {SMT) meetings regularly al Ihe operating premises in Lei¢estèr, which is now conducted weekly by the Head of Health Director. The Chief Executive Officer and other senior management personnel to whom day to day management is delegated The Senior Management team of the charity are in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day lo day basis with overall direction of the Managing Director IMD). AII directors give their lime freely and no director receives remuneration in the year from the Charity Peepul Centre itself. The parent charity EIF funds the Charily and the management salaries.

Peepul Centre the Charity itself has business income loo, for which Ihe Managing Director {MD) wilh his Senior Management Team work hard so as to redu the defi¢ils of running this large Centre.

They are supported by Crisis Cafe staff in Peepul Health reporting lo Dr Santosh Bhanol and the theatre staff for the Arts presently reporting lo Anil Bhanol. Other positions, like Director of Charity and Cultural Programmer, cannot be funded from losses and Ihus the Executive developmenl shall depend on the ACE future funding for Soulh Asian Arts al the Centre. We do double roles because of a lack of funding from public sources on arts. Management salaries are approved and funded by EIF. Due to cashflow pressures and a lack of public body grants the Management and Staff work extra hard to make ends meet, and primarily because of the large overheads of the Centre we have to continue to be funded by EIF. No DireCtor[UStee is remuneraled from PC the Charity itself. How the subsidiary undertakingls) islare constituted and managed. Peepul Cenlre. the Charity, has a 1004/0 subsidiary Social Enterprises Limited as ils trading ami.

Peepul Centre Charity, for the South Asian Arts and Wellbeing, itself is 100 /0 owned by the Ethnic Inclusion Foundation based in London, which is the ullimale holding charity and a social enterprise itself. Both Charities are registered at the Charity Commission and are also Companies Limited by Guarantee at the Companies House. Thus EIF a social enterprise Charity which raises ils funds through its business activities and uses its surplus for charitable projects, where PCIPEL is one of ils largest projects to help the Leicesler ommunities. The EIF Board under the group Chair Anil Bhanot has so far and annually given a commilmenl to continue to support PCIPEL insofar it is able to. PCIPEL deficit puts additional pressures on the EIF staff and management lo increase its surpluses lo be able to support PCIPEL. The three companies are related in ownership bul with a differenl Board on each and thus the relationship can be constrained by each Board's independent decision process, but one where the Group Chair tries lo keep the decisions complimentary.

Peepul Centre Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The Financial Statement of Activilies shows a nel surplus for the year ended 31 December 2023 of £1,775. 2022- £160,432). Tolal Income for the year was £247,044, {2022- £180,706}. This included rents received for the year ended 31 December 2022 of £134,305 {2022- £111,153), and a grant from EIF of £60,000 in the year 2023. Total expenditure for the year was £245,269 (2022 - £241,138). Policies on reserves. As al 31 December 2023 the group had total reserves of £4,271,17712022 - £4.269.401), and £19.348 of which was held in restricted funds (2022 - £48,230). Unreslrided funds includes £806,000 (2022 - £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. Whilst the policy on reserves is desirable to maintain a three month wages free cash reserve it has not been possible to maintain il due lo the large overheads the Centre suffers. primarily becaL¢se of the theatre space's under-unlilisation due to lack of funding from ACE. EIF has funded the Peepul Centre group's running costs deficits in the sum of £2,602,772 {2022- £2,094,667), after acquiring il in 2012. Going Concern The Trustees are of the opinion that wilh the continued support of the group's ultimate parent charity, the Elhnic Inclusion Foundation {EIF), the group's foreseeable future is secure. The Trustees of EIF are committed to supporting Peepul Centre and Peepul Enterprises Lld for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The freehold property comprising the Peepul Centre is free of any mortgage charge but the property was built in 2006 with the financial assislence of the Big Lottery, the Arts Council England and the Leicester City Council, who hold a covenant on the property. The Trustees and management are working to build a partnership relationship with the Arts Council England {ACEI lo help fund Peepul Cenlre's arts projects to create income generation activities and bring the Peepul Centre lo be able lo compete on an even playing field with other local theatre NPO'S which are funded substantially by public money. The Trustees expect the company to have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue lo adopt the going Concern basis in preparing these financial statements. Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds 11
Peepul Centre Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The board of Irusees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in resoect of each fund. Significant events which have affected the financial performance and the financial position. All reslricled funds are spent in line with the project as Ihe NHS funding. ACE project funding for the Peepul Mela is like wise spent in accordance with the budget and contributions paid by EIF grants. Financially EIF has continuèd lo underwrile the large overheads of the Centre. The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them. The primary risk Ihe Charity faces is not being able to receive public funding for its arts projects as the theatre deficits are fast becoming unsustainable whilsl other local theatre groups enjoy sustantial public funds, which is right that they do, but Peepul Centre needs an even playing field to start working its arts programmes and ulilise the large space of the theatre efficiently. 11 is a purpose buill theatre of 314 tiered seals serving an ethnically diverse and margenalised population in the Belgrave area of Leicester ACE Nottingham Office assessors as explained above - in our short terms note above - pose the greatesl risk to the Centre's survival, in spite of other ACE officers and their panel's positive assessments after Ihe Noltingham Office Assessors rejections for our projects. For ir)slance one particular project rejected by the Nottingham office but approved by the panel was our 2024 Mela, a highly successful event, comprising an arts and cullure show, a highly professional and successful mental health symposium, and a full fun day with community stalls, bollywood song and folk dances, sports, several food and juice stalls including specialist cuisine from our own restaurant. Nottighnam office ACE staff seem to favour certain organisalions over and above the Peepul Centre and the reasons are we believe an external influence to undermine us. However. the ACE does need lo review its diversity impact from the Nollingham office as we feel totally discriminated againsl by the Nottingam office agsessers, as evidenced by one of our projects having been rejected by them but later got approved by 3 wider panel, as mentioned above. Their assessors pose now the greatest daanger to the Peepul Centfe survival. In all our previous acoounts we have recorded the history of ACE treatment, of lows and highs, but our 2024 projects application's outright rejection by the Nottingham Office assessors and their several rejeclions since 2009 have proved lo us their discrminant policy towards us. Factors likely to affect future financial performance . 12
Peepul Centre Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 Peepul Centre's aims and objectives are to develop the Ihealre and performing arts, whilst also care for the wellbein9 of the communities. The Peepul Health division under Dr Sanlosh Bhanol is developing fast wilh the NHS partnership and with Dr Bhanot's relationships wilh some highly qualified NHS professionals, consullanls and doctors in Ihe area, and now the Health organisations partnerships. The South Asian Arts programmes are being developed in the theatre which require future funding to make any difference. The Chairman, a semiclassical music hobbyist. did his own his own cultural concerts in the year to keep developing this audience and during 2023 and 2024 we invited other established classical artists lo perform classical cultural concerts, so as lo help continue building a base for cultural events. We are graleful lo ACE for funding our classical concert at the Peepul Arts & Wellbeing Mela in May 2023, which had a resounding success. As mentioned above the problem comes one corner in their Nottingham Office, which hopefully ACE will try and help us avoid for our assesmenls. Funds held as custodian trustees on behalf of others These are none. Other information about the charity and its activities Peepul Cenlre arts programmes remain undeveloped due to the very high risk posed by the ACE Nottingham office which now the Board has to periodically review thal nsk imacling the running of the Centre. Employment of disabled persons Peepul Centre employs differently abled persons as can be seen from cijrient and past re¢ords, equally and with special ¢are as needed. 13
