SLADE GARDENS COMMUNITY PLAY ASSOCIATION

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

Mission Statement:

Slade Gardens Community play assoc. CIO is responsible for running of Slade Gardens Adventure Playground and has done so since 1999. We are committed to supporting, developing, and enhancing the work of this open space, covering a fenced area of some 1.25 acres. First and foremost a children's provision that manages to remain staffed and free at the point of entry without any direct grant from local or national government for our running costs. It has been a local resource for over 50 years and continues to promote essential needs for children, particularly in this densely populated inner-city area, their right to play freely, safely in a healthy and attractive environment. We believe that every young person between the ages of one to twenty-one should be able to develop their social, physical and creative skills through play.

Objectives:

The Charitie's objectives are to provide facilities for the recreation and other leisure activities for the children resident in the borough of Lambeth in the Vassall and Stockwell wards, being facilities as children that have the need by reason of their youth, social or economic circumstances and will improve the condition of life for such children by promoting their physical, mental, and social wellbeing. We are particularly interested in making them aware of their relationship to the environment and the importance of sustaining it.

Activities and Funding:

As a whole the organisation and its subsidiaries has never been more active and relevant to both its immediate surroundings and the borough of Lambeth as a whole. The Edible playground after help from Urban growth and a substantial grant from the Lord Mayor of London with the particular aim of encouraging and educating children and local young people in the delights of horticulture has established a strong foundation which has blossomed with the help of some keen local gardeners, many volunteers from around London and the world, our resident gardener Anke Zeller who has worked successfully with our OOCC introducing parent- children gardening sessions, including two teenagers participating in their Duke of Edinburgh award. And more.

We hope to retain a playworker with expertise in gardening on a permanent basis with original intention to encourage those who use the APG to take a more active role in this facility. So that we can increase the number of children that participate in Bee Keeping (200 jars of honey this year) and gardening.

There are plans afoot to turn the wild area next to the mural into an orchard. We had a busy summer holiday with the children averaging 110 a day for APG and 45 per day for the Stay and Play.

One of the main provisions for us this summer was providing hot meals and fresh fruit and veg. This came about because Lambeth applied for a grant from the government to provide meals for the children. In order for Susan Acland -Hood the Permanent secretary for the dept. of education to approve this grant Lambeth chose ourselves and one other to help her decide. She arrived on a bike and spent the best part of an hour helping the children plant seeds.

October saw an average of 60 children a day and this was stimulated by the offer of a hot meal provided by the efforts of the play workers and at the APG's cost. Providing child care for families, a safe place for the children of Lambeth to play and a hot meal, is proving to be more relevant to our objectives more than ever before.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

Well further activities are promised with a number of different after school clubs culminating with our first youth club for many years. Other activities include football club, up-cycling, cooking and drama club. The APG is now a registered accredited centre, providing AQA certificates for those involved in our training and work experience projects.

During the covid lockdown the APG developed a method of getting children with SEN special/ additional educational needs to use the facilities of the APG. It was very important to many of those families as an outlet for a very stressful time. Those same children now come on the playground when we are full and play with the other children.

The New Building

We are in process at moment of discussion our third approach to finding a new building that we can afford with TGE Estates. They have come up with a design as large as the previous building but with a simpler building remit. The cost for this building will be in the region of 1.6 million and with our grant from Lambeth which we understand is still in the CIL account we feel more confident that we can raise the remaining £600,000 to get this project of the ground.

The important thing is, as of July 2022 we were granted a lease securing SGCPA and all those that share the site for another 20 years.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of SLADE GARDENS COMMUNITY PLAY ASSOCIATION

Year ended 31 March 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of SLADE GARDENS COMMUNITY PLAY ASSOCIATION ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not 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).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The Charity is registered as a charitable incorporated organisation, having no share capital.
