DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The directors, who are also trustees, present their report and financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Constitution
The organisation is a Charitable Company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 11 December 2007 and registered as a charity on 31 March 2008. The charity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association which established the object and powers of the Charitable Company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
Recruitment and Appointment of new Directors
The Directors identify and appoints potential trustees whose appointment is ratified at the next Annual General Meeting under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. This year, we said goodbye to Eddie Langdown as Director. We thank him for his dedication and impactful contributions, which include grant-writing, building community relationships, and exploring innovative ways to maximize the value of donations and wish him all the very best for his 'retirement'.
We are pleased to welcome two new directors to the Board of Deptford Mission. Lynne Ramsay joins us with extensive experience in legal matters and campaigning, bringing valuable expertise in advocacy and governance. Lea Andrews, a former teacher and accomplished artist, has already shared his talents with us through his performance at our Christmas and Easter celebrations and now offers further creativity and insight in his new role. We look forward to the skills, knowledge, and commitment they will contribute to the continued development of our work.
Organisational structure and decision making
Directors are accountable for setting the strategic direction of the charity, providing governance and oversight ensuring the highest levels of health and safety and safeguarding principles are met and identifying and managing risks. The management of the charity is delegated to the Management Committee consisting of the leadership team and a trustee. The Chair fulfills the role of line manager on behalf of the trustees.
Overview of the Deptford Mission
Deptford Mission exists to support isolated, elderly, and disabled people in South East London, primarily through our welcoming Day Centre in Deptford. Open three days a week, 35 Members who would otherwise face loneliness and limited mobility.
Our dedicated team of around 40 volunteers plays a key role, helping with transport, meals, and social support, creating a strong sense of community often described as "one big family." Activities such as art, music, exercise, and outings improve both wellbeing and quality of life. We also provide much-needed respite for family carers, reducing their emotional and practical burdens. At our core, we aim to combat isolation, promote dignity, and foster joy in later life through compassionate, community-based care.
Review of the Activities
The need for our service continues. There is significant deprivation in the boroughs we serve, as is supported by the Age UK loneliness heat map which has identified several areas with a Very High Risk of loneliness in the boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich.

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Review of the Activities (continued)
We are striving to get to our target of 22 members attending per day at the centre since we have reduced the very high level of protection for Covid we had last year. That level of protection ensured that none of the Members nor Volunteers contracted Covid in the exceedingly challenging times of the restrictions we had.
The buses carry out a door to centre service three times a week picking up members and dropping them back at home after a full day at the centre. We have delivered some 2,600 ‘member days’ this year with the buses covering some 9,000 miles on their journeys to and for the centre. With the cook and her team delivering some 4,300 three course meals throughout the year to members and volunteers it has been a busy year again!
Review of Our Finances
This year, like many across the country, we have felt the effects of rising living costs and inflation. As a London Living Wage employer, we remain committed to paying our staff fairly, ensuring their wages reflect the real cost of living in the capital. An 8% pay increase was implemented in line with the updated standards, which has added pressure to our finances but ensures we continue to value and support our team.
Fundraising has been more difficult in the current economic climate, yet we are proud to have secured an additional £20,000 in grant income. Our charity shop, The Well, also made a strong contribution, raising an additional £15,000 of sales this year. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, we were able to reduce costs by £4,000, and overall achieved a surplus of £23,500 for the year.
These results reflect not only careful financial management, but also the generosity and commitment of those who support us. To our donors, volunteers, staff, and trustees we offer our deepest thanks. Your time, skills, and resources make it possible for us to continue serving those who depend on our work.
Looking ahead, the challenges remain real. To sustain and grow our services, we will need continued financial support, as well as more people willing to give their time and expertise. We warmly invite anyone, especially those with professional skills, governance experience, or simply time to spare, to join us in this mission. Together, we can ensure Deptford Mission remains a place of hope and care for those most in need.
Reserves Policy
Our policy is to maintain a minimum of three months' worth of operating costs in reserves, ensuring financial stability and the ability to sustain services in the event of income fluctuations or unforeseen expenses.
The Well Charity Shop provides a steady income stream throughout the year, which supplements our reserves and helps manage any fluctuations in timing or shortfall in other income sources.
Reserves are intended for bridging temporary income shortfalls, covering unexpected costs and supporting essential expenditures that may arise.
At 31 March 2025 the total funds comprised:
| Unrestricted: Restricted: |
82,530 11,250 |
|---|---|
| £93,780 |

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Risk Review
The most signifciant risk to the charity is that we might not obtain the funding we require to keep the Day Centre open. The Directors consider that in the current environment with a steady income from 'The Well' charity shop, the contribution from members and continuing funds from Lewisham the National Lottery and other funders, there will be sufficient income to maintain the charity for the foreseeable future. We will be continung to seek additional grant funds and undertake other fundraising activities to ensure we have sufficient resources to maintain the charity.
The results for the period ended 31st March 2025 are shown in the statement of financial activities on page 6.
The overall surplus for the year amounts to £23,513 (2024: £19,322 deficit).
The Directors confirm that they have complied with Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 in having due regard for
the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also Directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable laws and United Kingdom Accounting standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give an true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for the 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 Charity SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statement of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approved by the Directors on 1 October 2025 and signed on their behalf by;
Ian Stewart Chair

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF DEPTFORD METHODIST MISSION: DISABLED PEOPLE'S CONTACT
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 15.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity 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 company’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
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 that in any material respect:
-
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.

DEPTFORD METHODIST MISSION: DISABLED PEOPLE'S CONTACT Page 9
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
c) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT (continued)
A liability will be recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive obligation. A constructive obligation arises where the charity has indicated to a third party that it will undertake certain responsibilities and as a result of these, the charity has created a valid expectation to these third parties that it will discharge these responsibilities.
d) Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
e) Restricted Funds
Restricted funds include income received where the donor has specified a particular purpose and a separate fund has therefore been created.
f) Designated Funds
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretioin to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
g) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking of any trade discounts due.
h) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash 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.
i) 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 due amount due to settle the obligation can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
j) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Motor Vehicles 25% Reducing Balance Office Equipment 25% Reducing Balance
k) Employee benefits
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
l) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves and forecast of future cashflow over the next 12 months. The trustees believe this will enable the charity to deal with any uncertainities over the next 12 months. For this reason the trustees do not believe there are any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
m) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
