Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law. Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. ## **Objectives and activities Purposes and Aims** Our charity’s purpose as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are to promote the benefit of the public in the Colindale and Burnt Oak area of North London, principally in the London Borough of Barnet (the ‘area of benefit’), without distinction of race or sex or sexual orientation, or of political, religious, or other opinions, by associating the public, voluntary and private sector organisations and residents in a common effort. The aims of our charity are to: - provide or improve facilities for community, social, recreational, sporting and other leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the conditions of life of inhabitants in the area of benefit and in adjoining local authority areas (including the protection and improvement of their health); - advance education for the public and to provide or help to provide opportunities for education, training, work experience and access to employment or self-employment and to advice services, particularly among unemployed people and people suffering financial hardship or social exclusion; - develop the capacity and skills of members of socially disadvantaged communities within the area of benefit in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and participate more fully in society; - promote the improvement of the physical and natural environment and access to open space for the benefit of the public; and - undertake other charitable activities as are for the general benefit of the public in the area of benefit. ## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims** The trustees review the aims, objectives, and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 2 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** ## **Achievements and performance** With a strong presence on Grahame Park and Colindale and wider trust in our services, CCT is committed to being a place-based community charity and anchor institution that invests in communities where people can flourish and thrive. Great health and wellbeing are essential foundations for thriving and resilience communities and a successful economy, and CCT are rightly proud to provide safe, warm, and trusted facilities and holistic service, a key cornerstone for good health. CCT recognise the impact of other determinants of health for our communities, such as income and employment status, and the implications this has for tenancy sustainment and creating and sustaining resilience communities. As a member of the Grahame Park (Strategic) Steering Group focusing on Neighbourhood partnership working through a Neighbourhood Theory of Change approach, CCT leads on ensuring the Resident Voice is heard at all levels. Our leadership of the Colindale Consortium which comprises of up to twenty VCSEs ensures the smaller third sector organisations contributions and needs for the community are intrinsic in the Neighbourhood approach. Tackling inequalities of service access caused by the wider determinants of health is a key focus for CCT. This provides us with the opportunity to strategically influence and shape local health and social care service to reduce the clear inequality of statutory services to the 62% culturally diverse community within the ten percent of deprivation indicators. There is a strong commitment from the CCT Board and Staff Team to place health, wellbeing, and prosperity at the heart of the charity and this is reflected in the Business Plan and specific aims to achieve over the next five years. CCT knows that we cannot achieve these ambitions alone and are therefore committed to working in partnership with others to make a positive lasting difference to the diverse range of people and communities we serve. This report covers a challenging period for individuals and families attributed to sharp increases in the cost of living, hard on the heels of the Covid-19 pandemic, stop and start of the regeneration moves, driving many more residents into further difficulty. CCT was on the front line of dealing with the fall-out, supporting the local community struggling with anxiety and mental health issues, as well as increased pressure on finances. During the year 2023-2024, the team at CCT met and exceeded our projected key performance indicators. We have had; - 13,689 service users come through our doors, 190% increase - 4,007 are unique visitors, 160% increase - 175 young people through our partnering youth club - 179 benefitting from physical wellbeing - 505 from mental and social wellbeing - 1,542 through food poverty support - 520 with digital inclusion - 44 through ESOL classes - 8 helped directly into employment by CCT - 33 through volunteering and work experience - 106 VCSE hirers of our community venues - 547 Triage reception Information, Advice & Guidance - 174 Holistic Financial Inclusion Casework - 727 Partnership employment and training support And as proud as we are of these numbers, we know that they do not tell the entire story of our impact in the community. CCT has been a trusted anchor within Grahame Park for many years, providing essential, independent, and face-to-face advice and support to vulnerable residents. Our engagement spans various groups, including local VCSEs, resident associations, and individuals, many of whom are often neglected by statutory bodies due to barriers like 3 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** digital exclusion and language difficulties. As an independent organisation, we listen actively to the community to understand their needs and develop bespoke services, either through direct delivery or strategic partnerships. We take a holistic approach, connecting residents to relevant services and specialist VCSEs depending on their needs, be it translation and cultural needs, mental health support, employment services, or substance misuse programs. This helps prevent a relapse into financial or emotional distress and contributes to wider public health outcomes, including reducing emergency hospital admissions, evictions, and improving overall well-being. ## **Key highlights of our year:** - We have robust monitoring of our Key Performance Indicators and measure the Social Return on Investment (SROI) of our services. CCT can evidence the following impact over 2023/24. - We are very proud of our Walking Group as a key example, which may seem a simple approach, but through the pre and post surveys and follow-on support and additional services, we can evidence for every £1 spend, we have generated a SROI of £44,594 which has benefited 80 adults, majority elderly and with a range of health conditions over the year. |**Programme name**|**Project name**|**Budget Value**|**Actual Adjusted**

We engage private organisations as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises to take advantage of place-based facilities. We do this both by raising awareness of available facilities in the community and providing our own space for hire. Use of these place-based facilities means that organisations delivering services and support to people within the community can be more accessible and useful to them. ## **One Stop Shop** The Trust took over the management of the One Stop Shop premises in Grahame Park in 2013. The Shop continues to have two long-term service users and has the ability to hire out the training room. The purpose of the Shop is to provide a resource for local not for profit groups and organisations whose work contributes to the Trust's charitable objectives, and an essential trusted drop-in information, advice, and guidance service to the community. ## **Pulse community flat** During 2014-15, the Trust entered into an agreement with Fairview Homes. The agreement included provision of a community office in the Colindale Pulse development. Youth Realities, one of our youth partnership organisations, continue delivery of their services for young women from this site, alongside community events which engage all members of the community. ## **Grahame Park Community Centre** Based on the need to deliver more projects which supported the community needs, the Trust took on the management of the previously under-used centre in October 2017. This continues to host a wide range of daily community projects for residents which are supported by local volunteers, through the IT Suite and through a range of VCSE partners. **Grahame Park Old Library** With funding awarded from the Mayor’s Good Growth Fund, this is CCT’s main office and open-door triage reception service. We host NHG’s Make It Happen (employment, training, and enterprise) Hub, alongside a range of community learning courses, social health and well-being activities and services, a warm space, digital inclusion support and community kitchen. The large facility can also be hired out at weekends. ## **New Community Hub** The new community facility design discussions have continued as part of the regeneration commitments for the area. The Trust has continued to play a major part in this project to ensure it meets the needs of the community, and not just for individual project groups and organisations. The design delivers an innovative, adaptable space including catering/learning kitchen, food growing garden space, with an iconic, new landmark building for Colindale. The development of this new base will be in partnership with the new Medical Hub and any other local facilities to ensure we are not duplicating services, and maximising known services for all. ## **(b) To identify local needs in order to influence community services;** ## **Health & Wellbeing** Through our local partnership approach 684 people were supported through CCT’s physical and mental wellbeing services. CCT also supported 1,085 residents through food and emergency fund support. We also distributed 3221 recycled clothing as well as additional shoes and books. - We have clear baseline data to commission and deliver programmes against gaps identified. 5 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** - We have continued to expand and change our physical programmes with two female fitness classes, and two walking sessions. - Enhanced our social and mental wellbeing programmes, drop-in service, coffee mornings, counselling, art and craft groups, youth club, warm space. - All residents have opportunities to be referred to range of programmes locally, supported by commissioning opportunities to meet gaps identified. - Have brought onsite mental wellbeing services and substance misuse services. ## **(c) To ensure partners join up to prevent duplication and maximise the benefit of working together for the benefit of the community;** ## **Grahame Park Consortium** The Trust continues to strengthen the collaboration between VCSEs, statutory providers and commissioned services, to ensure there is a cohesive impactful delivery of services by all. We host the Grahame Park Consortium which brings together up to twenty local organisations guided through the Neighbourhood Theory of Change model; developed with residents, local groups, and voluntary and statutory organisations, and sets out a common vision for the area. There is increased trust among Consortium members, with joint funding bids and more sharing of information. Over the year we have taken on commissions through a range of council directorates and NHS, and larger umbrella VCSEs with delivery and associated funding allocated to up to five local organisations. This has strengthened their finances and solidified our partnership working and trust with the communities we all support. ## **The Grahame Park and local area young people focus** CCT’s universal youth offer approach continues with local schools and VCSEs; FUSE Youth Project, Youth Realities, The 4Front Project, Art Against Knives and Center of Excellence. Our strength of partnership with Saracens High School and Orion Primary School continues through joint projects and promotion of services to parents/carers and young people. We continue to support NHG’s young people research through Common Vision’s intensive work on the ground to guide the youth strategy and action plan and identifying where our role sits within this. ## **Coordinated direct grant support to vulnerable residents** The Hendonian Trust has continued to provide grants for CCT and local partners to directly support individuals and families. £7,500 supported a range of individuals and families (39 adults, 19 children and young people) around their essential and emergency needs over the year. The impact on supporting mental well-being was a key outcome. ## **(d) To further the economic well-being of residents by supporting the improvement of education, skills, learning and routes to employment;** ## **Volunteering and Work Experience** Over the year we supported 33 local people with volunteering though supporting our projects, and work experience through our reception and administrative work. 6 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** ## **Training, learning and routes into employment** Our community prefer face to face learning. This is an area we focus on as a core need to reduce social isolation and decrease anxiety and depression and raise aspirations. Through our community learning partnership, courses, workshops, digital inclusion support, and NHG coordinated ‘Make It Happen’ programme, we supported 1,546 people over the year. As an accredited training centre, we are enhancing much needed training to build the confidence and skills of our community, supporting them into work experience and into employment. ## **(e) To ensure and encourage clear and accessible information and communication within the community and between agencies.** ## **Grahame Park Communications (previously Strategy) Group (GPCG)** The Trust handed over the chair and coordination to the London Borough of Barnet as all the actions in we could progress were completed. Outstanding areas required leadership from the Council and Barnet Homes for outstanding areas. The GPCG brings together senior leaders with accountabilities against strategic statutory services to support the community, buildings, environment, and support services. The GPCG meet quarterly to review work to date and identify barriers, future needs, and strategic influence actions. The strategic action plan has been aligned to the Neighbourhood Theory of Change Framework’s four key objectives. Over this year the Trust has successfully raised it voice in the inequality of statutory health service provision for the vulnerable community which the Public Health team has acknowledged, with strengthened partnership working to address the gaps. The Trust also raised the poor public environment which the landlord has addressed. CCT is very proud of its achievements in improving the local environment and services to date for the community and continues to play a key Residents Voice and VCSE voice. CCT are recognised for having a deep understanding and trust of the local community and for sharing data with partners such as schools, services and organisations who approach CCT for support when developing new programmes, identifying the ongoing needs of the local community and through their ability to successfully reach the community. These organisations will be able to support the community through their service provision in line with the Neighbourhood Change Programme, especially addressing the needs before, during and post regeneration plans over the next 20 years. ## **Colindale Consortium** The Trust chairs and coordinates the Consortium which includes voluntary, community, charitable and statutory providers. Information and communication are regularly shared on all activities, gaps, funding available and reviews of programmes to ensure everyone has the same communications. - The Trust produces leaflets and posters on a regular basis as residents have said they prefer hard copies. These are shared widely through our email network, on our social media feeds, CCT website, partner’s websites, community What’s App groups, at Colindale Library, GP surgeries, Children’s Centres, and are displayed in our venues. Website hits have doubled this year with 7,394, the following quadrupled; Facebook 3616, Twitter 3,586, Instagram 1,480. - The Trust promotes the activities of other organisations, including NHG and Barnet Homes supporting distribution of residents’ newsletters and all our partner VCSEs from older people, Somali group through to young people’s services. - CCT continues to be the only consistent organisation providing daily face to face services over the year. 7 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** ## **Beneficiaries of our services** CCT operates within Grahame Park Estate -Barnet’s largest social housing estate- and surrounding areas in Colindale, Greater London. Despite a 20-year-old regeneration plan, the estate remains in dire need, approx. 550 homes in non-secure tenancies and pervasive deprivation. Public Health acknowledges systemic inequalities across health, education, employment, and criminal justice systems, disproportionately affecting residents. Ranking among 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England, 51.8% in bottom 10%. Highly diverse population; 61.3% from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, 27.7% non-native English speakers, and high levels of digital exclusion. Health indicators are dire: emergency hospital admissions significantly above the national average, the lowest life expectancy in the borough, and highest rates of obesity, substance misuse, and mental health issues. Economic challenges are severe: 31% children live in poverty, 42.8% single parent households, 37.6% economically inactive. These systemic challenges create a cycle of poverty, exacerbating residents' inability to improve their health, wellbeing, or economic prospects. The need for face-to-face services supported by IT is essential and not provided to the detailed support we deliver elsewhere in the borough. We support a high level of displacement anxiety due to the long-running regeneration programme, with 20 more years ahead. We have also experienced a high level of needs from the locally placed asylum seekers and refugees and work in partnership with specialist services for referrals. ## **Financial review** During the year, the charity had unrestricted income of £117,975 (2023: £108,038) arising from the hire of community facilities and management of projects, expenditure of £135,162 (2023: £83,523) on support and running costs which resulted in an unrestricted deficit for the year of £17,187 (2023: surplus £24,515). Restricted income totalled £112,777 (2023: £146,388) consisting of £108,181 (2023: £146,388) in grants towards running costs (treated as donations) and £4,596 (2023: £nil) grants towards charitable activities. Restricted expenditure totalled £131,773 (2023: £155,077) resulting in a restricted deficit for the year of £18,996 (2023: deficit £8,689). Funds of £9,476 were transferred from restricted to unrestricted funds (2023: £3,179 from unrestricted to restricted funds). £21,500 (2023: £35,000) was transferred from restricted to designated funds. At the year end the charity has unrestricted funds of £145,504 (2023: £153,215), designated funds of £56,500 (2023: £35,000) and restricted funds of £28,178 (2023: £78,150). ## **Reserves policy** As the Trust develops its income sources, it is the intention to hold an accumulated balance of unrestricted funds (which have not been designated for a specific use) appropriate to the level of the Trust’s running costs equivalent to six months expenditure which the trustees estimate to be £128,000. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. As at 31 March 2024 current reserves (excluding designated funds) comprise 6.8 months running costs so we are at the required level. 8 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** ## **Financial control** The Trust receives a financial report on a quarterly basis compiled by its treasurer who draws attention to any variances from the budget. The administration of payments is managed by staff in the Colindale Communities Trust in accordance with the Trust's Financial Procedures. The Trust regularly reviews its financial position and cash flow and is confident that it is fully able to meet its liabilities for the next twelve months and beyond. ## **Plans for the future** Over 2023/24, our one-year funding for a specialist Early Intervention & Prevention Caseworker proved invaluable in addressing interconnected challenges faced by vulnerable residents. This support provided immediate debt assistance, stabilised incomes, mitigated food poverty, prevented utility cut-offs, and averted evictions. By addressing these urgent needs, we enabled residents to shift focus towards improving their health and pursuing long-term goals such as education and employment. Once stabilised, residents engaged with our broader team, accessing additional services such as digital skills training (including NHS tools), employability programs, and connections to trusted local partners for holistic wellbeing support. Our approach’s core strength lies in transitioning individuals from crisis to resilience by embedding them into sustainable support systems, enhancing their overall quality of life. Recognising the success of this model, we plan to expand our reach to address the needs of both existing and new residents facing crisis situations, and new offers for other identified needs. A significant milestone ahead is our move into a new community centre, part of a major regeneration project. This move represents a growth opportunity for CCT to foster a cohesive and inclusive community by serving both long-standing residents and newcomers. However, delays in the regeneration process have resulted in increased maintenance costs for our current aging venues. Simultaneously, the funding landscape for small to medium-sized charities, especially in London, has become more challenging due to reduced grant availability, economic pressures, and shifting donor priorities. Many funders are narrowing their focus or closing entirely, exacerbating difficulties for organisations like ours to sustain financial stability amidst rising operational costs and fluctuating income. To address these challenges, we are revising our five-year Strategy and Fundraising Plan. This plan will guide us in adapting to funding cuts while driving a fairer local society. We aim to transform how we demonstrate impact, open new opportunities for community engagement, and create meaningful connections for all Colindale residents to be part of CCT’s mission. Our position as a trusted and embedded partner within the local authority and NHS underscores our commitment to exploring commissioning opportunities. By leveraging our leadership within the Colindale Consortium and our Neighbourhood Theory of Change approach, we will continue to amplify the voice of the local VCSE sector. Our track record of improving health and wellbeing in Colindale is built on collaborative relationships with residents, including those often considered "hard to reach." In an area marked by both deprivation and significant regeneration, CCT’s role as a well-established and trusted charity is more critical than ever. Looking ahead, we will manage the new community centre sustainably, co-producing solutions with residents and advancing our neighbourhood Theory of Change goals. Our plans include developing self-sustaining services and expanding drop-in support to meet diverse community needs. 9 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** The development of the new community centre within the next three years represents a transformational opportunity for CCT. This hub will strengthen our partnerships, expand our networks, and increase our reach, offering a focused and inclusive space to build skills, improve health and wellbeing, and inspire aspirations. CCT is uniquely positioned to help the community navigate the challenges of regeneration, bringing together diverse groups to foster unity and drive social change. ## **Structure and history** ||| |---|---| |**2003**|The Wright Community Development Trust (Trust) set up on 17 July 2003 by

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2024 was nine. The trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 to the accounts. When recruiting trustees, the Board takes into account, to the extent the Board considers it practicable to do so, the need for new trustees to contribute to the skills mix and balance of the Board. Alongside "stakeholder" trustees amongst whom there will be a co-opted representative from LB Barnet, there are currently five "resident" trustees on the board. ||**Date appointed as**|**Date appointed**|**Date resigned**| |---|---|---|---| |**Trustees/directors**|**trustee**|**as director**|| |Christopher Smith|17-07-2003|13-04-2004|| |Gill Sargeant|26-08-2005|26-08-2005|| |Karen Whitting|09-12-2014|09-12-2014|| |Sherine McFarlane|06-01-2016|06-01-2016|18-10-2024| |Carol Jackson|11-05-2016|11-05-2016|| |Keith Balcombe|11-05-2016|11-05-2016|| |Sean Wellington|10-07-2019|10-07-2019|

The role and responsibilities of a Trustee and relevant Charity law is explained to new Trustees by the Trust's Chief Executive as well as the more specific charitable objectives of the Trust. A skills audit is conducted from time to time to identify the specific contribution each Trustee can make to the Trust and identify any gaps for future recruitment, as well forming part of the induction process. ## **Related parties and relationships with other organisations** Gill Sargent is also a councillor of LB Barnet. Ross Houston (co-opted from May 2022), Anne Clark (co-opted as a deputy from May 2022 to April 2024) and Andreas Ioannidis (co-opted as a deputy from April 2024) (are also councillors of LB Barnet. Sherine McFarlane worked for Notting Hill Genesis who provide funding through their organisation to the Trust for our charitable purposes. ## **Remuneration policy for key management personnel** The organisation is led by the Chief Executive supported by the Community Development Manager, and up to April 2023 a full-time Caretaker. The part-time Early Intervention & Prevention Caseworker joined the team in March 2023 to March 2024, a full-time Engagement & Activities Coordinator joined the team in March 2024. Currently in post are a Triage Receptionist and an in-house Cleaner. The CEO and Community Development Manager manage the core staff team, including facilities and communications. Strategic level decisions are taken by the Board of Trustees, with the day-to-day operational decisions delegated to the Chief Executive. The Trust’s Officers review staff remuneration annually. Salaries for any new posts are recommended by the Chief Executive to the Officers for review and approval, after an independent assessment/benchmarking where required. ## **Risk management** The Trustees regularly review and consider the risks to which the Trust could be exposed (operational, financial, governance etc.) analysing and prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of mitigating the risks identified. ## **Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others** The charity does not have any custodian trustees. No Trustees held title to property belonging to the charity during the reporting period or at the date of approval. 14 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** ## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees** The trustees (who are also directors of Colindale Communities Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report 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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently - Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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. This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006. The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on 20 December 2024 and signed on their behalf by: Nicola Theron Chair 15 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 **Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Independent Examiners Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages 17 to 29. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Directors' responsibilities: - The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006, - The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. These accounts are prepared in accordance with the special provisions of part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies and in accordance with FRS102 SORP, and constitute the annual accounts required by the Companies Act 2006 and are for circulation to members of the company. The notes on pages 19 to 28 form part of these accounts. Approved by the trustees on 20 December 2024 and signed on their behalf by: Chris Smith Treasurer 18 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 ## **1 Accounting policies** The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: ## **a** ## **Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling. ## **b** ## **Judgements and estimates** The trustees do not consider that there are sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. ## **c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. ## **d Income** Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. Page 19 Doc ID: a736b2b5f9af9d9ed4d7c6abdd7ca8b4b9315955 Colindale Communities Trust (CCT) Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued) ## **e Donated services and facilities** Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. ## **f** ## **Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. ## **g** ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. ## **h** ## **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: - Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading including their associated support costs. - Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of community development undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. - Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. ## **i** ## **Operating leases** Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. ## **j Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis. There are currently no capitalised assets.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **l Short term deposits** Short term deposits includes investments with a maturity of more than three months from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar accounts. ## **m Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## **n Creditors and provisions** Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. ## **o Financial instruments** The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **p Pensions** Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were outstanding contributions of £736 (2023: £603) at the year end which were paid over in April 2024. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within charitable activities, support and governance costs and allocated to funds in line with the area the employee is funded. ## **2 Legal status of the charity** The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
