Objactives and aims

The Shadwell Community Project exists to serve the children and young people of the East End through Glamis Adventure Playground. We operat a permanent building with a green roof and a hobbit hole front door, equipped with a kitchen and cafe area, where children can learn about h eating. Concrete, high-rise housing and heavy traffic dominates our neighbourhood. The playground and its neighbouring allotments are viewed oasis from this noise and density of buildings. This has been a positive year for the playground. Despite the pandemic posing challenges at the s the year, we remained open and partnered up with food providers to give vulnerable families support in feeding their families with healthy nutritiou parcels and meals made on site. We are proud to say that we were the only playground in the area that remained open during most of the pandem continue to diversify both our funding avenues and activity provision as well as building collaborative relationships with local schools, children’s c and housing associations in order to provide wider referrals, services and advice to families. This year there has been a change in our participant: being mainly older children over 8 years to many more young children under 8 years who are accompanied by their parents. We have made a repairs and refurbished much of the site during quiet times which has made a huge difference to the safety and quality of the playground. W grateful to the amazing staff team that enables young people ta have fun. explore and learn in a safe environment on the playground, und leadership of Candace Lewis, who joined us at the beginning of 2019. We are also grateful for the work of our fundraiser, Natalie Bell, who we w thank for her work identifying future sources of funding and building relationships with potential backers. The project continues to be a happy plac we are moving forward to build an even better future for young people in this corner of London.

Statement on public benefit

In planning to meet the objectives we are satisfied that the activities fulfil the public banefit requirament referred to in the Charity Commission's g: guidance. As well as benefit to the individuals concerned there is a broader gain for the public. Every year hundreds of disadvantaged childre young people from Shadwell and surrounding areas of Tower Hamlets benefit as a result of the Shadwell Community Project's work. Tower Hamle the highest level of child poverty in the UK with 57% of local children growing up in poverty. Children and young people benefit from: - improved and wellbeing for local childran who benefit from being outdoors and active and from the children’s cafe; - development of skills and learning tr participation in projects like cooking, gardening, construction, using tools, project planning; - development of creativity, problem solving skill resilience, through arts, self-directed play and opportunities to experience risk and challenge; - increased cultural awareness as a result of br children from different backgrounds together to play; - increased opportunities for children from low income families to participate and develop a range of interests, skills, experiences and aspirations. Local families benefit from: - free, after school and holiday activities that enable parents to study and have respite care, especially parents from low income families. Local residents benefit from: - greater community cohesion, as a re volunteering projects that bring people from different backgrounds and generations together to improve the adventure playground

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total income for the year was £138,956 (2021:£111,647). Income from restricted grants was £136,799 (2021:£77,117). Unrestricted income for th: was £2,157 (2021:£34,531). Total expenditure for the year was £127,415 (2021:£116,227).

Reserves

We have carefully considered the Charity’s needs to hold reserves for dealing with unforeseen circumstances and, to the extent that further funds fF for investment in future activities. Hence, in light of increased uncertainty over most sources of income available to us, we have decided that a level for the General Reserve should be the equivalent of between 3 and 6 months of total annual expenditure.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Governing document

The company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum and Articles of Association on 24 January 2003, updated September 2010.

The objects of the company are:

a. To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 18 living in Shadwell and its environs by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities, including the provision of an adventure playground, as a means of advancing education;

b. In the interest of social welfare, to promote and provide facilities and activities for children and young people and their communities so that their conditions of life may be improved and their physical, mental and spiritual well-being is promoted. The directors of the company (who also act as trustees) are as listed on page 3 and they all held office during the period under review. The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The directors are subscribers to the Memorandum of Association and as such are limited to a guarantee of a nominal £1 in the event of a winding up of the company. The directors meet together as a Management Committee on a monthly basis with the Senior Playworker to review current issues, and to discuss future developments. The Management Committee comprises primarily residents from the local area and is assisted by support from the Play Association of Tower Hamlets. Tha Shadwell Community Project has carried out a risk assessment in relation to funding and resulting potential risks to our funding base and those ansing from both known and potential liabilities. The overall strategy is to continue to diversify funding sources, develop long-tenn relationships with key funders and strategic partners, and continue to build a reasonable level of operating reserves. Through the systematic review of these risks, the Trustees aim to mitigate the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. Internal Controls The Trustees have prepared a Financial Control Policy to document procedures in place to ensure all staff and trustees in the Charity, especially those involved in the accountancy operation, correctly adhere to such controls. This should ensure that an audit trail can be followed and that allocation of costs have been properly ascertained and properly recorded.

The Shadwell Community Project Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and 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 (FRS 102}, and the Companies Act 2006. The Shadwell Community Project meets the definition ofa public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless othenvise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Going concem

The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

Statement of cash flows

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in SORP FRS 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charitable company is small.

Funds

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment. Designated funds comprise of unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them. There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Resources expended

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.

Taxation

As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

8 of 18
