Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Charity's object is to promote charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in the London Borough of Camden and in surrounding or adjacent areas, including assisting the homeless and parents and children in need. It does so by arranging play and learning activities for homeless children living in temporary accommodation hostels, by arranging enrichment activities (outings and trips) for their families during the school holidays, and by conducting welfare and housing support work with those families.
.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Financials
The Charity's endowment funds decreased by £43,369 to £1,773,886, The fund produced income of £66,537 (2024 £65,378). Being an endowment fund we are not able to spend the capital and it does not count as a reserve. Our investment policy is to prioritise income. For the Charity's impact please request a copy of its Annual Review which gives full details.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
As a company limited by guarantee, the Charity's governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In 2021 the Charity adopted the working name "Caris Families", reflecting the fact that it did not work exclusively in the London Borough of Camden.
The Charity is governed by a board of Trustees who are its directors and also its members. They meet about four times each year and also deal with more urgent business by email. New trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees with the exception that the articles allow the North and South Camden Deaneries each to appoint one trustee (none has in fact been appointed by the Camden Deanery Synod).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Caris Camden
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Caris Camden ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
