Over the past year, the Centre has grown in many ways and made a real difference in the lives of older adults from all walks of life. It’s become a welcoming place where people feel supported, connected, and cared for.

Through a wide range of services, the Centre has helped improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and social connection—especially for those who might otherwise feel isolated.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis, following the historical cost convention, in compliance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102), effective from 1 January 2016. They also adhere to the SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, which applies to accounting periods starting on or after 1 January 2019. The SORP was issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (CCEW).

The charity has prepared its accounts in line with SORP 2019, superseding the previously applicable SORP 2005, which has now been withdrawn. While the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 still reference SORP 2005, this financial statement has been prepared in accordance with SORP 2019 to align with current best practice.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Where donations and grants are restricted to future accounting periods, they are deferred and recognised in those future accounting periods. Grants for immediate financial support and assistance, or to reimburse costs previously incurred, are recognised immediately.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Income from membership subscriptions

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Expenditure and basis of apportioning costs

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis with the irrecoverable element of VAT included with the item to which it relates and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Charitable activities: Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs associated with the delivery of the charity's activities and services for its beneficiaries, and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities. Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. Support costs include office costs and those of other central functions.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Fixtures and Fittings 20% on cost

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The trustees seek to use short term deposits to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flow.

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Volunteers and donated services and facilities

The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements as it is impractical to estimate such value. Where services and facilities are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.

11 Related party transactions

During the year ended 31 March 2025, the charity reimbursed trustee Neena Choksi a total of £1,482 for the purchase of a cooker made on behalf of the charity. The transaction was conducted at cost and was fully authorised in accordance with the charity’s financial procedures and conflict of interest policy. No other trustees or persons connected with the trustees received any remuneration or other benefits from the charity during the year 24/25:Nil (2023/24: £Nil).

12 Prior Year Adjustment

The charity leases its premises from The Mayor and Burgesses of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, commencing 25 March 2021, with an annual rent commitment of £17,800. No invoice or corresponding funding was received for the years ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2023, and the trustees therefore made no rent accrual for those years, which would have totalled £35,600.

The March 2024 accounts have been restated to include the rental accrual for March 2024, for which the funding was received.
