## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.
## STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:
- ~ select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- ~ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity's governing documents are the memorandum and articles of association incorporated 29 May 2003.
Trustees are selected from the members of at least two years standing. A potential new trustee will be approached by one of the existing trustees, on the basis of the skills and experience they have to offer, and if prepared to serve their name will be put to the AGM of all members for their approval.
## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity's objectives are the promotion of any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community of Sheffield and in such other areas as the Charity may from time to time determine; and in particular the advancement of the Christian religion, the advancement of education, the promotion of religious and educational study and research and the publication of the results of all such study and research; and the relief of poverty, sickness, affliction and distress.
In furtherance of the above objectives, but not otherwise, the Charity may exercise the following powers:
(i-viii are the standard powers of a charitable company)
(ix) provide facilities for religious fellowship and training.
(x) procure to be written and print, publish, issue and circulate gratuitously or otherwise any reports or periodicals, books, pamphlets, leaflets or any other documents,

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)
## REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CHARITABLE COMPANY
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. This was the first full year that the charity’s operations were not significantly affected by restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some practices adopted during the pandemic were retained as they enable more people to participate in the charity’s activities.
Providingfacilities for religiousfellowship: Two Weekend Conferences were held: in May at Cliff College Derbyshire, and in October at Foxhill, Frodsham in Cheshire. Day meetings in July and February were held by video conferences. The regular gatherings online, open to all-comers, which had been started in June 2020 continued. The branch in London adopted a practice of holding monthly meetings, alternately on line and in person. The North-West England branch met less frequently, and mainly by video conference. The online meetings were valued by participants who were geographically remote or in poor health, while the meetings in person were valued by those unable to participate in the online meetings because they lacked access to IT. Most of these meetings were attended by associates and non-members, thus providing a public benefit.
Publications: ‘ACT Together’, containing articles by Community members and friends, was published in May and October.
Residential communities: Two of the Community’s houses in Sheffield continued to be occupied for this purpose. Work continued on the refurbishment of accommodation within the Burngreave complex.
Reliefofpoverty etc: All members were asked to give a day’s income to the annual appeal, which this year went towards funding a well in Mali. Grants were made from the Wider Service Fund to Joliba Trust for their work in Mali, towards funeral costs for a family in Uganda, and to Northern Women for Palestine who campaign forjustice for Palestinians.
## PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The 5 year plan of the trustees, following consultation with the membership, is to dispose of all our property, taking due regard to the interests of remaining tenants, and involving other charities where possible. When all remaining assets have been disposed of, the company and Charity will be wound up. The principles for disposing of assets are currently under discussion, and will be further considered at the national gathering in October 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023
1, ACCOUNTING POLICIES
## Charity Information
Ashram Community Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 31 Budebury Road, Staines, Middlesex, TW18 2AZ.
## Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 October 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## Unrestricted Funds
These are funds that are not restricted or endowment funds. There is one unrestricted fund which is the General Fund, as donors give money to the charity on the understanding that it will be used at the discretion of the Trustees to further the work of the charity.
## Restricted Funds
These funds are restricted by the donor(s) for expenditure for different, explicit purposes.
## Grants receivable
Grants are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they are receivable.
## Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
## Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably on an accrual basis, and it is probable that income will be received.

ASHRAM COMMUNITY TRUST (a charitable company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023
## Deferred income
Income received in the year which relates to future performance of an activity or event is considered deferred income, and carried forward to the following year.
## Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
## Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets over £500 are capitalised. All assets held by the charity are land and buildings, the trustees feel depreciating these assets would not give a true and fair view of their value, therefore no depreciation is charged. This is not in line with the Companies Act 2006.
## Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with the charity's bank.
## Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
