The aims and objectives of the charity are:
To benefit the residents of Mottingham and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, political or other
opinions, by associating together the said residents and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations, in a common effort to
advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation, with the
objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
Review of Activities and performance
Mottingham Community Centre has continues to have a strong presence in the
community with a number of regular hirers.
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 and Yoga, which all encourage the local
community to take part in Sports and exercise. Other activities operating from
the centre include 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
updates of what is on at the centre is published weekly. We do have a very high amount of interest
from hirers for parties and events on a recommended basis from friends who have used the hall.

2024: £39.530). The total funds/reserves as at 31 March 2025 were f38.437 (2024: f35.224)
Reserves policy
t is the policy of the charity that the unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use, should be maintained at
vel equivalent to between three (£10,000) and six months (£20,000) expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this leve
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.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected
to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 the surplus or deficit of the company for
that period. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to:
•
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• state whether applicable UK accounting standards 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 to operate
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 fiance al state rea comale step for the preies to and they are also responsible regularding the assets of the company
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in
other jurisdictions.

Mottingham Community Association
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Mottingham Community Association
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Mottingham Community Association (the Trust) for the year
ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination
giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1, accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the acant eport reply in the pee re herent one in the read retreater ear are.,
matter considered as part of an independent examination.
4. the accounts have 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)1.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn
n this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Matter to which attention is drawn
Without qualifying my report, I draw attention to the fact that during the year certain payments of a personal nature were
mistakenly made from the charity's bank account. These transactions were not supported by contemporaneous records at the time
they were made. The trustees have confirmed that the matter has been addressed and that procedures have been reviewed to
prevent recurrence. The amounts involved were not material to the accounts. In addition, it should be noted that not all expense
transactions had been subject to independent review.
