TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025. The annual report serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 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).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Objectives and activities (continued)
Main activities undertaken to further the company's purposes for the public benefit
The playground is an inclusive environment that attracts and brings together children, young people and families from our diverse community. Our activities enable children and young people to have new opportunities, develop their skills, build positive relationships across age groups and communities, and strengthen their physical and mental health.
Parents and carers can also join in some activities with their children and get to know other families from the community.
Achievements and performance
Main achievements of the company
Again, we saw healthy attendances at the playground. Various workshops took place throughout the year, and the ad hoc evening BBQs in the summer months proved hugely popular.
Our major fundraiser during the year was the Fête de la Musique ; however, due to a combination of the European Championship (England's quarter-final appearance), poor weather, and cost overruns it proved to be a financial disaster. However, for those attending it was an absolutely marvellous event enjoyed by all, and continued well past the expected closing time. With lessons learned, this event will be repeated.
Income covering our running costs continues to be a concern. Although the playground was bequeathed a substantial sum by a former trustee - which does provide an element of security - the trustees decided to contract with an individual to assist with our fundraising, administration, and generally raising the profile of the playground.
The playground remains a popular place for parties and a substantial number took place during the year, with deposits taken for bookings through to September 2025.
Some of the structures underwent substantial repair or were removed altogether. Repairs continue and it is expected that further large-scale - and costly - repairs will take place in September 2025. This is necessary to maintain a safe environment for the playground’s users. Despite numerous meetings with Southwark Council, there is no current timescale for the redevelopment of the playground.
Volunteers
The charitable company recognises the significant contributions made by volunteers.
Financial review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Reserves policy
The trustees' policy is to hold free reserves equal to six months' unrestricted expenditure on charitable activities, after deduction of the value of any donated goods and services. This is simply based on one-half of the relevant adjusted annual expenditure figure for the year - for the year ended 31 March 2025 this was £33,428. As at 31 March 2025 free reserves stood at £139,954.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The trustees have examined the major risks which the charitable company faces and believe that maintaining free reserves at a reasonable level, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which the charitable company faces and confirm they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Financial performance
Total income for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £169,451 (2024 - £58,132), of which £2,840 (2024 - £nil) was restricted fund income.
Total expenditure for the year was £70,636 (2024 - £55,798), resulting in net income of £98,815 (2024 - net income of £2,334).
At 31 March 2025 total funds of £152,792 (2024 - £53,977) were held, of which £12,838 (2024 - £13,779) related to restricted funds.
The ultimate aim of the trustees is for the provision of a new building to both make the playground an even better environment and hopefully provide further opportunity to give the playground a sound financial footing.
Some years ago the trustees commissioned a cost analysis for a new building; this was subsequently updated to reflect current prices. The cost of a new building is circa £740,000, exclusive of VAT. Southwark Council has offered £640,000 towards the costs. However, this money will also have to pay for landscaping and structural changes to our site, and negotiations are ongoing. The trustees hope to persuade the council to keep these additional costs to a minimum in order to leave as much of the £640,000 offered as possible for the new building, and to minimise the potential of the changes to alter the character of the playground. This led to a subsequent trustees’ discussion as to whether it would be more cost-effective to acquire a specialised prefabricated unit(s) instead of a permanent structure, and this is currently being investigated. With discussions concerning the grant ongoing at 31 March 2025 and no monies received at this date, no income has been recognised in respect of this item in the 2024/25 accounts.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' 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 . Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies exemption in the Companies Act 2006.
Approved by order of the members of the board of trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dog Kennel Hill AP Limited ('the company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and 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 the company's accounts 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
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.
This report is made solely to the company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

DOG KENNEL HILL AP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. General information
Dog Kennel Hill AP Limited is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales under company registration number 05227463. The registered office address is Dog Kennel Hill, London SE22 8AA. It is also registered as a charity with the Charity Commission under registration number 1123221.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional and presentation currency of the company, and are rounded to the nearest £1.
Dog Kennel Hill AP Limited 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.
2.2 Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next twelve months. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the company, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Where a donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the company's accounting policies.

DOG KENNEL HILL AP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Income (continued)
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount it 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.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand 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.
2.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

DOG KENNEL HILL AP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Liabilities and provisions (continued)
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.8 Financial instruments
The company 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.
2.9 Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
2.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
