TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2024. 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
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit.
The objectives of the trust which have not changed since the last annual report, as set out in its governing document are the advancement of the Hindu religion, relief of poverty and advancement of education.
Achievement and performance
The funds received are contributed to the repairs and running costs of the temple. The temple is made available for use by the community. The charity continues to hold open evenings and events to raise funds for the temple. The facility is well equipped to cater for Jai Maa Bhameshwari Kali Mandir visions and goals and be a hub of the community and continues to demonstrate excellence in all areas of work by making use of local resource and research and developing key partnerships with local authorities and organisations. All donations have been used for the purpose of this project.
The charity’s principal financial objective has been to continue to ensure financial stability. The charity’s operating plan entails maximum use being made by the community of the Temple facilities, and the Trustees anticipate that this, together with planned religious, cultural and other activities will support the continued focus on fulfilling the charity’s objectives.
Financial review
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a minimum level. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs.
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity 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.
Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Structure, governance and management
Jai Maa Bhameshwari Kali Mandir is a registered UK Charity constituted on 25 March 2011 under charity number 1143008. It is an unincorporated charity. The governing document is a Trust Deed.
The trustees named on page 1 have served throughout the year. The trustees have the power to appoint any person to be a trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed. An appointed trustee holds office within the limits permitted by law.
Plans for future periods
The trustees’ vision for the future is to provide and further develop the services to the community, review current activities and prepare strategic plans for the future and ensure the financial stability of the charity for future generations.

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.
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.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recorded on a receivable basis.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Expenditure
All expenditure (inclusive of VAT) is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expenses categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the charity’s assets and are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Direct costs are costs directly related to employment in, or the promotion of the Hindu religion and culture.
Support costs are all other costs incurred by the charity which are not direct costs or governance costs.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets
