Chair's report
Young people hanging out after dark, kids kicking a football around, others chatting with friends, even some lighting fires. For many communities, in 2025, such behaviour might be shocking to local residents. But not in Shadwell. Here these activities - what people used to call playing out - are being done in a safe space, called Glamis Adventure Playground. It has been another milestone year for Glamis as a hub for adventurous play, a place to build friendships and learn about having fun while living healthily. With the help of partner organisations, such as the accountancy firm Crowe, not-for-profit Natterjacks and social enterprise Build Up, we have a smart new covered space for all-weather ping pong or just chatting over lunch, and an upgraded fire pit area with better ventilation and seating - handy for making stew, using vegetables grown in our allotment patch, chop wood with the expert supervisors orjust to gather round and share stories.
We have welcomed many new young people to the site this year, enabling them to build friendships and develop life skills through play. Our registrations have increased from 1,124 to 1785 over the last year.
Our term time sessions, on Thursdays and Fridays from 3.30pm to 6.30pm and Saturdays from 11.30am to 5pm, as well as our holiday schemes, run in every school holiday from spring to winter, have been well attended.
We are aware that we are offering critical support for local families in our community, where child deprivation is among the highest in the UK and many people have been hit harder than most by the cost of living crisis. Our local families have faced very distinct barriers to accessing what they need in these challenging times, when support systems and access to advice have been greatly reduced and children have suffered exclusion from education if they have no access to internet services at home or devices to connect to it.
One significant example of the difference we make is the provision of hot meals and food to take away at our sessions, providing what for some will be the main meal of their day. We are thankful for our partnership with the Felix Project, which delivers bags of fruit, vegetables and groceries on a regular basis to give out to local families in need. But we also know the demand is higher than ever and we are looking to increase this provision of free groceries over the coming year. Funding is key to all of this and we are grateful to Natalie Bell our fundraising manager for continuing to attract grants and income from national bodies, such as BBC Children in Need and the National Lottery, as well as local supporters, like the Wakefield & Tetley Trust and the City of London. We have also recently entered a new partnership with local housing association Poplar Harca, providing consultancy work to help in their ambitions to reopen adventure playground sites in Tower Hamlets that have been forced to shut in recent years. These various income streams enable us to secure regular staff on contracts which has improved consistency and quality of provision greatly. We have retained a core team of playworkers and our manager, a great asset to the adventure playground, enabling Glamis to be open more regularly and build up our numbers again since the Covid lockdowns. We are now looking to raise funds for a site development manager who can help with large renovations and help support the manager in ensuring the site is used to its full potential with other local organisations as well as making it more sustainable by broadening our income streams. We also have seven skilled, experienced board members with a wide range of practical knowledge and expertise. The trustees have volunteered their time to help with the rebuild of some structures, including the removal of timbers that had passed their useful life, and putting in place line management and training to support overall staff team development. The website is also being updated with the help of trustee expertise and a longer-term strategic plan is being drawn up in November at an away day, particularly looking at sustainability and using the site more widely for community work. We look forward to the future, expanding what we can do on this special patch of East End soil, dedicated to our young people. We do this because we know that our local children need such places to create the play that is so necessary to their development. We know also that our neighbours feel safer knowing that the young people are being looked after at Glamis rather than roaming the streets. Glamis has been doing this for many decades now, and we intend to make sure that our wonderful adventure playground can continue doing this for many decades to come.
In planning to meet the objectives we are satisfied that the activities fulfil the public benefit requirement referred to in the Charity Commission's guidance. As well as benefit to the individuals concerned there is a broader gain for the public. Every year hundreds of disadvantaged children and young people from Shadwell and surrounding areas of Tower Hamlets benefit as a result of the Shadwell Community Project's work. Tower Hamlets has the highest level of child poverty in the UK with over half of all local children growing up in poverty. Children and young people benefit from being outdoors and - through our children's cafe and allotment plot - development of skills and learning through 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. Also, we generate increased cultural awareness as a result of bringing children from different backgrounds together to pla, and 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, plus volunteering projects that bring people from different backgrounds and generations together to improve the adventure playground.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Shadwell Community Project exists to serve the children and young people of the East End through Glamis Adventure Playground. We operate from 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 healthy eating. Concrete, high-rise housing and heavy traffic dominates our neighbourhood. The playground and its neighbouring allotments are viewed as an oasis from this noise and density of buildings.
Statement on public benefit
In planning to meet the objectives we are satisfied that the activities fulfil the public benefit requirement referred to in the Charity Commission's guidance. As well as benefit to the individuals concerned there is a broader gain for the public. Every year hundreds of disadvantaged children and young people from Shadwell and surrounding areas of Tower Hamlets benefit as a result of the Shadwell Community Project's work. Tower Hamlets has the highest level of child poverty in the UK with over half of all local children growing up in poverty. Children and young people benefit from being outdoors and - through our children's cafe and allotment plot - development of skills and learning through 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. Also, we generate increased cultural awareness as a result of bringing children from different backgrounds together to pla, and 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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Total income for the year was £117,304 (2024:£114,139). Income from restricted grants was £108,802 (2024:£105,896). Unrestricted income for the year was £8,502 (2024:£8,243).
Total expenditure for the year was £119,931 (2024:£128,271).
Reserves
We have carefully considered the Charity's needs to hold reserves for dealing with unforeseen circumstances and, to the extent that further funds permit, for investment in future activities. Hence, in light of increased uncertainty over most sources of income available to us, we have decided that a target level for the General Reserve should be the equivalent of between 3 and 6 months of total annual expenditure. Going concern The past year has presented significant financial challenges for The Shadwell Community Project. Specifically, the increase in the cost of living and increased competition for grant income have created a period of considerable financial pressure. While the project has successfully concluded its lease negotiations, at the date of signing these accounts, the charity’s free reserves have fallen below our target policy of three months. This represents a considerable concern regarding our status as a going concern and indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue. To address this, the Board of Trustees has implemented a recovery plan, including reduced operational hours, fundraising campaigns, and exploring additional avenues for funding and social investment. While the outcome of these actions is not guaranteed, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements) and believe they provide a viable path to stability.

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 3and 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. The Shadwell Community Project has carried out a risk assessment in relation to funding and resulting potential risks to our funding base and those arising 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. Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Each new trustee receives an induction to The Shadwell Community Project. In particular this explains:
-our aims and objectives
-responsibilities of being a trustee
-how the Project runs on a day to day basis
-and a review of our policies and procedures
The Shadwell Community Project works closely with Play Association Tower Hamlets and Tower Hamlets CVS who provide or assist in finding suitable training for trustees and staff as and when required.

The Shadwell Community Project Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2025
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 of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and after deduction of grants received for capital expenditure. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed asset, less grants received and their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following base:
Permanent Log Cabin - 2% straight line
Portacabin - 20% straight line Furniture and Fixtures - 33% straight line
