Objectives and activities
NW7 Hub was founded by local residents with a vision to create a vibrant, inclusive community facility on the site of the former Civil Defence Building in Daws Lane, Mill Hill. The charity's purpose is to improve quality of life through community engagement, cultural enrichment, access to services, and social inclusion.
Our charitable objects are to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare, for individuals in need by reason of youth, age, infirmity, disability, financial hardship or social circumstances.
Since 2017, NW7 Hub has operated Mill Hill Partnership Library under contract with Barnet Council. In parallel, we have delivered a growing programme of cultural, educational, and wellbeing activities that meet the diverse needs of our local community.
With the support of staff and volunteers, NW7 Hub continues to be a trusted, accessible space for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Achievements and performance
During the year, NW7 Hub has built on its strong foundations, responding effectively to change while broadening its reach and deepening community impact.
Key achievements include:
-
Multi-Faith Events: We coordinated and supported a series of multi-faith events in Mill Hill Town Square, which promoted dialogue, inclusion, and civic pride among diverse community groups.
-
Warm Spaces Delivery: In collaboration with Barnet Council, we played a key role in the Warm Spaces initiative, offering a safe, heated and welcoming environment during winter months, with refreshments, signposting support, and social interaction.
-
Food Security and Supply Chain Resilience: Following the closure of Barnet Food Hub, NW7 Hub established new relationships with local and regional food suppliers. This ensured continuity of food distribution to vulnerable residents and allowed us to scale support in some areas.
-
Expanded Cultural and Social Programme: We significantly grew our programme of events and regular activities. New concerts, art sessions, and community socials have been introduced, along with dedicated groups supporting elderly residents and those at risk of social isolation.
-
Strategic Partnerships: We began working closely with Middlesex University and other partners to develop longer-term collaboration opportunities focused on community research, education, and innovation.
Operational oversight:
NW7 Hub continues to report monthly statistics to Barnet Council as part of our Partnership Agreement. We participate in regular operational reviews with the Council's Library Services team to ensure quality and compliance across all areas.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
Financial review
Total incoming resources amounted to £78,575 (2023: £99,001). This income includes restricted grants, restricted and unrestricted donations and rental income. The total expenditure for the year amounted to £54,534 (2023: £75,939) leaving a net surplus for the year of £24,041 (2023: £23,062). NW7 Hub had £3,837 (2023: £3,337) of restricted funds at 31 March 2024. Detail is contained in the accounts herein.
The charity's finances remain stable and carefully managed. Core operating costs are covered by fixed rental income from three long-term clients and supplemented by an annual grant of £25,000 from the London Borough of Barnet, with an inflationary uplift typically in the region of £3,000.
This year, we invested in new leadership capacity with the appointment of a Managing Director, whose role includes developing a co-designed fundraising strategy and increasing income diversification. Looking forward, we are entering into a lease renegotiation process with Barnet Council in Q1 2025. As part of this, NW7 Hub will be assessed under the Council's Community Benefit Matrix, and we expect to receive:
-
Up to 80% rent reduction
-
100% business rates relief
These changes will significantly enhance our long-term sustainability and ability to reinvest in community delivery.
Reserves policy and going concern
NW7 Hub does not operate a fixed reserves policy but ensures that liabilities can be met as they fall due. The trustees regularly review cash flow and operating costs to ensure continued solvency. Based on current projections and secured income streams, the trustees are confident that NW7 Hub remains a going concern.
Plans for future periods
The trustees remain ambitious for the charity's growth and impact. Priorities for 2024-25 include:
-
Continuing to deliver and expand the Mill Hill Partnership Library programme
-
Growing our fundraising capability to attract new grants, sponsorships, and philanthropic investment
-
Finalising the lease renegotiation and securing financial savings through the Community Benefit Matrix process
-
Developing our partnership with Middlesex University and building further cross-sector alliances
-
Continuing development of the Daws Lane site and exploring new opportunities for capital investment
-
Broadening our offer to include a stronger emphasis on arts, culture, and intergenerational wellbeing

Fundraising statement
In accordance with Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011, we confirm that NW7 Hub does not currently work with professional fundraisers or commercial participators. All income generation is managed internally by the board and senior staff.
There were no complaints received in relation to fundraising activity during the reporting period.
In Memoriam
This year, we were deeply saddened by the passing of Paul Edwards, a founding trustee and lifelong supporter of NW7 Hub. Paul was a legacy trustee and tireless community champion who served the charity with unwavering dedication, compassion, and vision from its very inception.
His contributions to the development of NW7 Hub and the wider Mill Hill community cannot be overstated. Paul's leadership, wisdom, and commitment to public service helped shape the values and direction of the charity, and his influence will be felt for many years to come.
We honour his memory and are committed to continuing the work he helped start, driven by the same spirit of service, inclusivity, and community empowerment that he so passionately embodied.
Trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of NW7 Hub for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its income and expenditure. In preparing these statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue operating
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records and safeguarding the assets of the charity, and for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud or other irregularities.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of NW7 Hub
Year ended 31 March 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of NW7 Hub ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2024
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Mill Hill Library, Hartley Avenue, London, NW7 2HX, England.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The Trustees have reviewed the current and future cashflow requirements of the charity and concluded that the charity has the ability to meet its debts as they fall due. On this basis the Trustees consider that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare the financial statements.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All income is 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:

Year ended 31 March 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources (continued)
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
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:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
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.
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% reducing balance Equipment - 25% reducing balance Investments
Fixed asset investments are initally recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity 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, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
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.
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.
4. Limited by guarantee
The liability of the Charity members is limited.
Every Charity member promises, if the Charity is wound up whilst he is a Charity member or within one year after ceasing to be a Charity member, to contribute such amount as is required up to a maximum of £1 towards:
-
winding up the Charity
-
the payment of the debts and the payment of the costs, charges and expenses of liabilities incurred whilst the contributor was a Charity Member, and
-
the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves
