CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Chairman’s Report on behalf of the Trustees

Dear Members and Supporters of Nunhead’s Voice.

It is with great pride that I present the Chairman’s Report for the year. This past year has once again demonstrated the strength, resilience, and unity of our community. Through the combined efforts of our Board of Trustees, staff, and volunteers, The Green Community Centre has continued to flourish as a vibrant hub of activity, learning, and social engagement.

Our programme of activities has continued to grow in both variety and participation. The Green has remained a welcoming and inclusive space that reflects the diversity and spirit of our local area. Each event and activity represent the commitment of our team to fostering connection, opportunity, and belonging for all who walk through our doors.

I wish to formally acknowledge and extend my sincere appreciation to our Board of Trustees for their sound leadership and commitment throughout the year. Their guidance has ensured that the centre continues to operate with clarity of purpose and good governance. I also extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff, whose professionalism and enthusiasm underpin the success of our daily operations. To our volunteers the heart of our organisation your generosity, time, and goodwill have once again made an immeasurable difference.

While we celebrate our achievements, we must also recognise the challenges ahead. Rising operational costs and increased demand for our services make it essential that we strengthen our financial position. Continued investment, grant funding, and community donations are critical to maintaining and expanding the wide range of programmes that make The Green so vital to our community. We therefore encourage all partners, supporters, and friends to assist us in our efforts to secure the resources needed for our future sustainability.

I remain confident that, with the continued dedication of our team and the steadfast support of our community, The Green Community Centre will continue to thrive, adapt, and serve as a beacon of community pride in the years ahead.

On behalf of the Board, I extend my sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to the ongoing success of The Green Community Centre throughout the year. Together, we continue to build a strong legacy of service, inclusion, and community spirit.

With warm regards

…............................................ Dayon Raymond Haynes - Chair

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, 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 Purposes

Nunhead's Voice is set up under its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following:

In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power: To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or cooperate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing and shaping the charity's aims and objectives for the year and planning future activities.

Page 3

NUNHEAD'S VOICE LTD

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

(1). The Green, Community Centre

Nunhead's Voice is responsible for managing The Green, Nunhead's community centre. We aim to offer a lively, flexible space that is available to all members of our community. Our intention is that the centre is known by all, used by most and frequented by many. We host a mixed programme of events, classes and groups. The centre seeks to be independent and responsive to the demands and needs of local people in Nunhead with an open access policy, so that local businesses, groups and individuals can make use of the space to run commercial, community and private events and meetings.

(2). Community activities, events and projects

Using grant funding and the income derived from The Green's operation, we deliver a programme of regular activities and events throughout the year, to benefit local people. Most, but not all, of these activities are delivered at The Green.

Increasingly, we are able to use the centre as a base for collaboration with other local individuals and organisations to broaden our reach and increase the vibrancy of life for people in Nunhead.

(3). Community Advocacy

Nunhead's Voice was initially established as a community forum to give local people a voice to shape local services and regeneration investment. We continue to work to identify issues of local concern and advocate on behalf of residents.

(4). Providing information

The internet and social media are increasingly widespread channels for finding out about what is going on locally, but not everyone accesses information in this way. In addition to our centre website and a growing social media presence. The Green also offers a physical community notice board and information on more comprehensive local services and activities and hosting information events by the Council and local NHS services. Staff and volunteers are always on hand to signpost, or carryout internet searches to help members of the community to find the information they need.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Internal and externalfactors

We have been operating against the back drop of a cost of living crisis which has increased the need for our services, whilst also increasing the running costs of the community centre.

Our aim is to:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The charity’s total income for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £166,672 (2024: £111,807), representing an increase of £54,865. This increase was primarily attributable to higher levels of grant income and donations received during the year, alongside continued growth in hire income from the charity’s premises.

Income from charitable activities amounted to £104,520 (2024: £93,113), reflecting increased utilisation of the venue. Grants and donations totalled £53,062 (2024: £14,372), a significant proportion of which was restricted for specific charitable purposes.

Total expenditure for the year was £133,127 (2024: £116,283). Expenditure on charitable activities increased in line with the charity’s expanded programme of activity and rising operational costs, particularly utilities and building maintenance.

The charity generated a net surplus for the year of £33,546 (2024: deficit of £4,476). At the year end, total funds amounted to £33,656 (2024: £110).

Investment policy and objectives

The Charity has adopted an ethical investment policy to ensure that its investments do not conflict with its aims and objectives. The charity deposits funds with its bankers to ensure a reasonable return in terms of interest and long-term protection from inflation.

Reserves policy

At 31 March 2025, the charity held total funds of £33,656 (2024: £110). Of this amount, £13,245 represents restricted funds which may only be used in accordance with the terms of the relevant grant funding.

Unrestricted funds at the year end amounted to £20,411 (2024: £110). These unrestricted funds represent the charity’s free reserves available to support ongoing operations and to manage cash flow fluctuations.

The trustees regularly review the level of reserves held and consider the charity’s future commitments, risks, and operational needs. While the current level of unrestricted reserves remains modest, the trustees are satisfied that the charity continues to operate as a going concern and will seek to strengthen reserves where possible in future years.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN FOR OTHERS

The Charity did not hold funds as custodians on behalf of others in the year ended 31 March 2025.

The reserves and cash flow position will be closely monitored by the Finance Sub Committee of the Board at its regular monthly meetings and monitored by the Centre Manager. The reserves target is reviewed as part of the annual budget setting cycle.

Going concern

The charity trustees have continued to make appropriate enquiries, review financial position of the charity that there are no implications which may be so severe as to cast doubt upon the charity's financial sustainability, and also review that the charity has adequate resources and sufficient sources of funds available for the foreseeable future, and thus the trustees are confident that the charity will continue in operation for the foreseeable future, hence, a going concern basis was adopted by the trustees in preparing the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Green Café

The Green’s community café has become an essential lifeline for local residents, particularly those experiencing loneliness, isolation and vulnerability. The community café is a small volunteer-led team that plays a vital role in the daily operation of the centre and the experience of all who use it, including residents, community partners, hirers and local businesses.

The café serves between 10 and 40 people per day, with demand increasing steadily throughout the year. Many users are older adults, people experiencing loneliness, people with disabilities or mental illness, or residents facing financial difficulties. The café also underpins the delivery of our wider programme, with volunteers supporting Older Adults activities (Ivy Club, Daffodil Activity group, Knitting and Arts) and Children & Family provision (Tots Tracks, Tots Tennis, Under 5s Dance, Mother Nurture and Nature Club).

During the year, 10 volunteers (1280 hours) supported café operations between 10am–2pm daily, contributing significant in-kind value. Alongside this, the café generated £4500 donations, which directly contributed to core building costs that allows to provide a welcoming free access to a safe, heated environment alongside affordable refreshments, ensuring dignity and inclusion for those affected by the costof-living crisis. Through regular interaction and trusted relationships, volunteers often become the first to notice changes in wellbeing, providing early insight into mental health challenges and social isolation. These informal conversations are critical in helping people feel seen, supported and connected to wider services.

The community café is an initiative that incubates Nunhead's local neighbourhood and peer to peer support networks. While the current volunteer-led model delivers strong social value and financial efficiencies, it is increasingly under pressure. Volunteers are frequently supporting individuals with significant emotional and social challenges, without the time or resources required to respond fully. Demand also extends beyond current opening hours, with some residents waiting outside before doors open.

Next year, the Green will need to invest in a revised operating model to balance volunteer contributions whilst extending the operating hours and support The Green’s ability to reduce loneliness, improve mental wellbeing and build long- term community resilience. This development would ensure that volunteers are supported, residents receive appropriate care and the café remains a safe, inclusive and sustainable space for all.

July 2024- South East Asian Heritage Month

Page 11

NUNHEAD'S VOICE LTD

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

South Asian Heritage Month is an annual celebration held between 18th July to 17th August all over UK. The aim is to commemorate the history and culture of the countries of South Asia, and to explore the connections between South Asian communities and Britain. On 15th August which is India Independence day, we held a celebration between 11am – 1pm. The Ivy Club members, young people from the Rainbow Collective and the centre volunteers participated in the event.

There was a display on the board in the foyer, on ‘South Asian Presence in Britain’. The theme of the day was ‘Free to be Me’. We started the day with a presentation in the foyer, on the ‘History of South Asian presence in Britain’ using the display as a visual aid. In the Holly room, there was music, an exhibition of artefacts, books and clothes. The participants had a great time trying on Indian clothes. It was very significant for some members who had south Asian heritage but had lost connection with it and being able to connect with it by trying on clothes and touching some artefacts and knowing some of the history was very helpful. There was also a space on the wall for people to tell their story of what the theme ‘free to be me’ meant to them. The Ivy club members were served tropical fruit such as custard apple, papaya, mango, passion fruit and pineapple as desert. For some people this was a new experience.

September 2024- Nunhead Art Trail

Nunhead Community Art for Health showed off their art work alongside members of the community for the Nunhead Art Trail. This was a well attended event with many people following the trail over the weekend. It was great to be part of this event and to show case what The Green has to offer. Some visitors came to The Green for the first time and were delighted to find our vibrant space.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Black History Month was celebrated at The Green on Saturday 19 October. The event was arranged by Tracey Francis and Levi Anderson, tow of our longstanding volunteer evets team. The event included the Premier of a film made by The Rainbow Collective about Peckham and how it has changed over the years. The Rainbow Collective is a group of young film makers based in Peckham. The film was in part made at The Green and included some interviews with key members of The Green community.

Other people who came along were

Exhibition Sabera (African History Pre-colonisation) and USEMI a small photography exhibition I did with a Pecan project last BHM Book, film or poetry session to share contemporary work in a group session - led by Tracey Althea Wray's (local) will have her newly released children's book and is happy to do a reading and share Rainbow Collective film - I have seen it now and besides it being great it would fit well with the day.

I think the event well really well and it highlighted the Green, as quite a few people had not visited the space before. New people to the Green I spoke to were from the local area, attendees of Pecan events, Croydon, Beckenham and Dagenham. They saw information about the event and wanted to be part of it. Althea Wray who read from her new book and sang some songs, is also a local who has never been to the Green before. She is a piano teacher who has taught children in Nunhead and beyond for the last 20 years. For the first half of the day we had upto 36 people, and by the end approx. 60 people - (I bought more plates just incase and glad I did).Good feedback about the food Ian’s artwork was a lovely feature alongside the photography exhibition Good feedback in person about the event and highlights the importance of awareness days for the community Great photos by Boo which are on the Volunteers’ whatsapp group and be downloaded and saved into a folder for socials/archive/reports/funding The book/film session was something new and all ages got involved and appreciated sharing

October 2024- Halloween

Volunteers decorated the foyer to become a spooky meeting point for children and their families. Our local special constables also came along to join in the fun. The Green was a safe haven for younger children in the community to join in with trick or teat. Sweets were donated by members of the community.

December 2024- Christmas Fair and Grotto

We held a very successful Christmas Fair. Stall holders filled both Willow and Ivy rooms and there was a steady flow of visitors to the stalls and of course our Santa's Grotto. The event was very well supported by our local shops who donated prizes for the raffle and cakes to sell in the café. There was a real Christmassy feel to The Green, setting everyone off in the Christmas spirit at the beginning of December.

March 2025- International Women's Day

International Women's day was celebrated with song, poetry and sharing of stories of strong women in our lives. The Ivy Club were there in force, Sabera Jaffer talked about women through history with music provided by Boo as well as our fabulous Green Singers.

Tots Track 2024/25

Tots Track has gone from strength to strength over the past year. Initially only running an afternoon session, we now hold 2 busy sessions on a Tuesday providing more children and their parents/carers the opportunity to enjoy the indoor and outdoor space at the Green. We were also delighted to receive funding from Peckham Settlement to buy new toys and equipment for this group. This has meant that the original toys that were all donations have been replaced and supplemented with new toys. We were also able to buy lidded cups for use at Tots Track to reduce the need for throw away paper cups with lids and ensure that hot drinks can be drunk safely around the children. We have seen a regular group of parents and carers come along to these sessions in addition to seeing new faces most weeks. The garden has really come into its own for these sessions, we have been very grateful for the National Gardens Scheme funding to develop the garden including a fabulous new pond cover and also the huge amount of volunteer time it takes to maintain the garden.

Our warm hub provided hot food, company and live music for local people from November through to March. We saw a steady number of people come along and join us for lunch, some regular users of The Green and some new faces. From January having the addition of the advice and information service provided by Share the Cost Global on site meant that even more people were able to discover what The Green has to offer. The information service ran until the end of August providing help and support for over 30 local people.

The regular programme is chair based exercise led by the amazing Sheba, a buffet lunch prepared by Cris, the Ivy Club lead and organiser followed by a variety of activities such as bingo, games, flower arranging, line dancing. Trips to the seaside, Rochester Christmas market and the theatre have been greatly enjoyed and well attended by regular Ivy Club members and some who enjoy these trips out together.

Being new to the area the Ivy Club has given me a network of friends, activity and physical exercise. Trips out to many different places and sharing small roles of responsibility. This has helped me to feel welcome, needed and socially active. The singing group is good for the lungs and the sole. Ivy Club is a big beating heart.

These sessions have provided those attending with the opportunity to paint together using a variety of different types of paint and surfaces. The group have used canvases, bottles and paper to create abstract and realistic paintings. The group meets fortnightly and has become an important part of many participants lives. The group is currently self funding, they also rely on donation of art materials.

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. The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pound Sterling (£).

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.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

CASH FLOW

The financial statements do not include a cash flow statement because the charity, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the FRS102.

TAXATION

Nunhead's Voice Ltd is a registered charity and is potentially exempt from taxation inrespect of income and capital gains received within the categories covered by Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to charitable

FUND ACCOUNTING

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
