Chair's Statement I
Welcome to this year's Annual Report
It is a real privilege for me to continue working with members of our community for the betterment of our
children, young people and their families.
I have been delighted to see how the Charity has continued to promote the welfare of Kongolese and other
black and ethnic minority in London, particularly in Enfield, so that they fulfil their potential and play an active
role in the society.
The 2023 - 2024 year has been the best year since the start of the KCA marked by the training of 60
Childminders and ESOL (City Bridge Trust), advice and provision of information (Trust for London), the
Community fund, recreational project 'Bringing Smile to North London Kongolese Elders, and the biggest
project we have ever run". The Rumba.. Protecting Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanityl Funded by Lottery
Heritage. In top of that, the charity has continued to deliver its other habitual objectives such as
Supplementary School Activities, One-to-one Tutoring and opportunities for volunteering.
In conclusion, I would like to pay tribute to all the Trustees, volunteers and staff who have been involved with
the work of the Charity. Their commitment, dedication and skills have enabled the Charity to deliver its
objectives effectively and efficiently.
Thank you to all our members for their enormous financial contribution during this financial year and thank you
also for volunteering to help other people during the pandemic time.

KONGOLESE CHILDREN'S ASSOCIATION
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kongolese Children's Association
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st March 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 11.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to-.
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act..
to follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section
145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act- and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attenb'on.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 2011 Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and cornply with the accounting requirements of
the 2011 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.
