The Trustees have considered the guidance contsined in the Charity Commission's general guidan￿ on public benefit in reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. Public bènefit The Charity has achieved the public benefil objectives by meeting the spirilual requirements of the congregation. This was achieved by holding the daily poojas, arti and discourses. All key festival and religious dates are observed and celebrated by the devotees. Volunteers The Charity depends heavily upon the continuing support of devotees. We also thank all volunteers for their hard work during the year, particularly those working within the areas of Prashad preparations, various educational activities, car park dLJties, cleaning, organised special events, decorations, and other religious activities and pray that they continue to setve the TrLJSt in the fLJture. Although volunteer contribution is integral to the contribLJtion of the Charity, It is difficult to quantify the number of voluntary hours served by the devotees. Achievements and performance The Trustees are pleased to report on this year in which the Charity fulfilled its objectives. All funds received during the year have been applied in meets'ng the Charity's charitable objectives. Any surpluses arising from donations and other income are held for the general benefit of the Charity's operations. Flnan¢lal revlew The Statement of Financial Activities ISOFAI shows net income and expenditure for the year. The SOFA also shows the financial activity of the Charity distinguishing between restricted and unrestricted activities. Al 31 December 2023, the Charity had net assets of approximately £3.5 million12022- £3.3 million). Income The Trustees were pleased with the level of income during the year. Income decreased from the previous year with a net income for the year at £180,01712022 - £180,902). HINDU TAMIL CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (ENFIELD) TRUSTEES. REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Resèrvès pollcy and golng conc•m The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concem. The trust is totally relianl on donations, taking all Ihese factors into account, next yearf s income is based on the expectation of the governmenl guidelines. No doubt, our core expenses will also reflect proportionally however, having prepared a forecast for this period the trustees have noted that even though income has increased compared to pre-covid level, costs have also increased due to higher inflations and other economic factors. The Trust recognises the importance of having reserves. These funds are freely available to spend on any of the Charity's purposes and hence exclude restricted funds. An increase in unreslricled reserves of £177,38612022 - £1 $0,986) indicates that there are no material risks to the organisation's ability to operate as a going concern. As a result, the accounts have been prepared on a going Coll￿￿ basis. The Trustees have confirmed that, after careful review of the reserves policy, the most appropriate measure of reserves for the Charity is by reference lo the Charity's liquidity position. As al 31 De￿mber 2023, in considering the adequa￿ of the reserves, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this rea50n, they have continued lo adopt the going concem basis concept in preparing the financial stalerllenls. The Trustees consider the key measure of susl8in8bility for the Charity lo be current and future liquidity cover, rather than the surplus or deficit accounting position. AS 8 consequ&n¢e, the Trustees have sel approprialtr reserves policies relating lo liquidity based on the relationship between readily realisable assets, on-going level of donations received, and the cash requiremonls associated with sustaining the Charity's operations for a year. In establishing this policy, the Board of Trustees conducts an annual review of the level of unrestricted resetves in the general fund by considering risks associated with Ihe various income streams, expenditure plans and balan sheet items. This enables an estimate to be made of the level of reserves that are sufficient.. to allow time for rtrorganisation in the event of a downturn in income or asset values., to protect ongoing work programme., and lo allow the Charity to meet its objectives. Risks and issues considered by the Board of Trustees in making this judgement on the level of unreslricled reserves include.. likelihood of a downtum in income streams., year of lime required to re-establish income streams., year of time required to downsize the Charity operations., whether there is adequate control over budgets., and requirements for a reasonable level of working capital. The Trustees are of the view that with minimum annual income of £500k, maintaining cash reserves of al least £50k will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also assessed other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems lo mitigate the significant risks. In tho event of the Charity facing difficult financial cir¢umstsn¢es, this would allow il lo Continue operations during a year of managed adjustment lo these new cir¢umslan¢es. The TrLJStees review the Charity's reserves policy annually and are satisfied with this level of ¢ash reserves at the end of 2023 and are confident that the cash reserves will continue to increase in subsequent years. HINDU TAMIL CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (ENFIELD) TRUSTEES. REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Investmènts pollcy The Trustees, investment powers allow the Trustees to invest surplus funds to generate income with which to fund future activities. The Trustees, investment policy is to aim for safety, commensurate with immediate and planned spending requirements and given the current uncertainties in the financial marf(ets, the Trustees consider it appropriate to be holding funds in deposit accounts where they achieve a steady return. Rlsk managèmènt The Trustees have an informal risk management strategy which comprises.. Ongoing review of the risks the Charity may fa￿-, Establishment of systems and procedures lo mitigate those risks., and Implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should those risks materialize. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Trust. Consideration of such risks is made on an informal ongoing basis and controls to miligate such risks are reviewed on an ongoing informal basis. A review and assessment of these controls is undertaken on an annual basis. Through the above, the Trustees are satisfied that major risks identified are subsequently mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assuran￿ that major risks have been adequately managed. The a¢livilies of the Charity are dependent on its ability to raise funds from donations and other lending. The key risk for 2024 therefore is the Charity's ability lo secure ongoing funding lo support the repayment of bank loans that We￿ used for the purpose of building th& temple lo dale. The Trustees consider this risk lo be low as its donors are diverse and very supportive. The charitable expenditure is largely discretionary and Can be reduced lo miligale substantial redu¢lion in income. Structure. governance and management The Trust is a company limited by guarantee.
