GO HELP ASIA TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 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 Trust's objects are firstly, to promote for the benefits of the inhabitants of Southall and the surrounding areas without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other options, by organising together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time activities with the objects of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants; and secondly, to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre (Hereinafter called 'The Centre') and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in cooperation with any local authority or person or body) in furtherance of those objectives.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Trust should undertake.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charitable organisation has made available, during the year, a substantial amount of space with limited facilities for third-party charities to organise their own fundraising events at no cost. This has continued to grow over the years and currently, many charities benefit from the facilities offered by Go Help Asia Trust.

In addition to the above, the usual social activities and facilities are being made available for senior citizens to get together and have various musical and recreational events. The Charitable Organisation has continued to maintain this facility, despite a number of external pressures such as the lack of car park spaces and the growth in property development in the year, that seems to continue. The number of people attending is relatively stable and the Charitable Organisation is set to continue to provide this facility for the foreseeable future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Review

During the year, the Trust continued to enhance the property in order to ensure that further facilities become available for a Community Centre to be provided for the local community and to this extent received donations of £366,507 (2023: £360,589). Total expenditure of £148,014 (2023: £115,434) was incurred on administrative and property development and maintenance costs and in relation to the provision of the facilities to the local community.

It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue trust current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be used. This level of reserve has been maintained throughout the year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

GO HELP ASIA TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to accountancy fees and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the directly identifiable costs incurred and on the basis of time spent in dealing with the organisation charitable activities both internally and for external charities.The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 7.

Tangible fixed assets

No depreciation is provided in respect of the freehold property; this constitutes a departure from the statutory rules requiring fixed assets to be depreciated over their useful economic lives and is necessary to give a true and fair view. Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual review and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Tangible fixed assets other than investment properties are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows

Plant & machinery - Straight line over 10 years Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
