## **Trustees’ Annual Report and Directors’ Report** The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 together with the Trustees’ Annual Report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 2015). ## **Objectives and activities** The company’s principal activities continued to be the promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit for people originating from the Indian state of Uttarakhand and their dependents. Encompassing this, is - The advancement of Uttarakhand culture, traditions, religion, languages and history. - The relief of poverty, advancement of education and protection of health in remote areas of Uttarakhand. - Relief of financial need suffering among victims of natural disasters. - Social, cultural, and recreational events involving the community and social inclusion for the public benefit. The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The company was registered as a Charity by the Charity Commissioners on 24/11/2017 and is incorporated in England and Wales and is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **Financial review** The Trust has been successful over the past year in building up its reserve funds. At the end of the period financial reserves stood at £44,353 (up from £34,618 last year). The Trust retains reserve funds built up until they are required to be spent on major relief work and other exceptional costs. Additional funds, when generated, will also be retained in preparation for future expansion of branches outside London. Reserves are held in an interest-bearing deposit account. The trust is currently wholly reliant on its membership for donations and participation in its fundraising events for its income. It has made strides in reducing its costs, relying on volunteers for most administration, accommodation costs, etc. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## **Plans for the future** ## **Risk management** We actively managed the risks to the Charity, focusing on the most serious. We have maintained a register of our controls and activities to mitigate risk throughout the year. The most serious risks are: - loss of income —we have sought to mitigate this risk through diversifying increasing our fundraising efforts by actively participation of members in fundraising events and ensuring effective control of expenditure. - loss of key staff —relevant staff and the Board of Trustees are kept informed of plans, and actions taken; significant functions are monitored through supervision structures and reports to relevant meetings. - rigorous controls for the safeguarding of children are in place. Structure, governance, and management Constitution and organisational structure The Association is registered as a company limited by guarantee and is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 17 December 2010, it was granted charitable status on 25 November 2016, registered charity number 1170375. The Association is administered by a Board of unpaid directors, who are also the Charity Trustees, and they are responsible for the overall management and control of the Association. The number of Trustees of the Board should be between three and eight. They meet at least three times a year to formulate the policies for Association and to approve the budgets, annual accounts, and reports. ## **Method of appointment or election of Trustees** Trustees are appointed as vacancies arise based upon an assessment of key skills required from amongst board members. Individuals are appointed for their relevant skills and their potential for guiding the Association forward. The appointment is adopted by a vote of the entire Board of Trustees. ## **Related party relationships** The directors/ trustees are members of the association and participate in its activities on the same basis of other members. ## Directors The directors who served during the year were: Laxmi Kant Joshi (resigned on 10 November 2021) Ramvir Singh Panwar Krishnapal Negi Manish Jugran Pankaj Nautiyal [resigned on 8 April 2022] N C Sharma [appointed on 15 September 2021] Saukar Rawat [appointed on 9 May 2022] Sandeep Bisht [appointed on 9 May 2022] ## **STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES** The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained on the financial statements. - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The company has taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the report above. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report (including the directors’ report) above.
