Review of Activities and performance
Mottingham Community Centre has had a continual increase in the numbers of
regular hirers. This includes the use of the premises by the 'Big Local
programme, as part of the National Lottery's community fund scheme.
The Centre continues to attract a wide and diverse group of hirers that allow the
local community to come together and take part in a range of activities. Some of
which include Little Crocs soft football, Marshall Arts and Yoga which all
encourage the local community to take part in Sports and exercise. Other
activities operating from the centre include, Yoga, Bingo & Portuguese lessons.
Maryfield Preschool have continued to operate on the premises with continued
success as have the Apostolic Faith Mission and Downham Baptist Church
services. The Centre also remains popular with the local community to hire for
private parties.
The Trustees remain committed to increasing the scope of the community centre to provide a diverse range of activities for the local
community in line with its aims and objectives.
Improvements to the premises and security
The garden areas have continued to be maintained to make the facility feel welcome and inviting to
all.
Annual maintenance of the security system and fire safety system were carried out as well as for the
air conditioning within the centre. Improvement work has also carried out in relation to the external
lighting as part of the ongoing upgrade work for the building and to improve security.
Michele Duguay has also continued to clean and maintain the hall to a high standard.
Publicity and promotion of the hall
We have been working hard to increase our online profile by improving the website on which regular

from hirers for parties and events on a recommended basis from friends who have used the hall.

The income for the year ended 31 March 2023 was £39,311 (2023: £32,676). The expenditure for the same period was £34,516
(2023: £39,530). The total funds/reserves as at 31 March 2024 were £31,125 (2023: £27,104).
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that the unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use, should be maintained at a
level equivalent to between three (£10,000) and six months (£20,000) expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level
will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while
consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The trustees are satisfied that the charity will continue to be a
going concern for the foreseeable future.

that period. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to:

Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed. subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements

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.

Going concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
d. Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been
met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants has been met, it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured reliably and it is not deferred.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
e. Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. this is
normally upon notification of the interest paid or is payable by the bank.
f. Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is
charged to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.
g. Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that
the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Community support costs relate to costs incurred by the charitable company for events and specific donations to
support the local community to further the purposes of the charity.
Expenditure on provision of facilities relates to costs incurred for the use of the Mottingham Community Association
facilities at Kimmeridge road, Mottingham, London SE9 4EB and their support costs
h. Allocation of support costs
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of

apportioned on the following basis:
Charitable activities
loo%
i. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected
useful lives on the following basis:

j. 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. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of
service users.
k. Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably
