## Structure, Governance and Management
## Governing document
The Sant Baba Joginder Singh Ji Domeli Charitable Trust was established 31 March 2017 and is a charitable incorporated organisation regulated by the Charities Commission. It is a registered charity with charity number 1172354.
## Recruitment and appointment of Trustees
The Trustees who served during the period covered by the accounts, and since year end, are set out in the reference and administration details on page 1. Day to day activities are managed by the Trustees. Any other items such as disposals are to be recommended by the Trusts and Charities Committee by Full Council. New Trustees are appointed by full council as seen fit, and inducted by existing Trustees on the objectives and governance policies of the Trust.
## Objectives and Activities
The objects of the charity are set out as follows:
1) The advancement of the Sikh religion in accordance with the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, in particular but not exclusively by:
- a) The provision of centres or schools or other establishments for religious worship and ancillary educational and cultural activities;
- b) Fostering brotherhood between Sikhs in particular and also all faiths in general;
- c) The preaching, preservation and practice of the Sikh tenents in the manner originally laid down by the ten Gurus;
- d) The provision of all necessary religious services as required by the Sikh faith and the provision of spiritual wellbeing;
- e) Ensuring that all properties under the charity ownership are managed, maintained, and enhanced in order to adequately deliver the above objectives.
2) The promotion and protection of good eye health in the Punjab region of India by the provision of a medical team to detect and prevent early signs of blindness and visual impairment by individuals. The charity owns a place of worship and it uses this asset to generate income to help deliver its objectives.
## Public Benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives of the charitable company and in planning any future activities. In particular, the Trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.
## Achievements and Performance
The main activities include daily religious programmes, which begin at 5am and conclude by 9pm, every day. On weekends and select religious festivals, prayers are recited continuously. Provision of Langar (communal kitchen) where vegetarian food is prepared and served freshly every day, at no cost to anyone who attends the Gurdwara, which can also be taken away for those who are unable to attend or vulnerable groups. Educational classes were mixed as online classes and in a purpose-built classroom. In order to meet its objectives, the Charity's ongoing activities cover the maintenance and upkeep of its land, which encompass a temple and its grounds.
We have taken the opportunity to revisit the current offerings which we feel have been restricted by the current building layout and space. To this end we have continued to work with consultants to present an application to the local council in pursuit of offering more for the local community by increasing the floorspace and enhancing facilities within which we can operate. The charity are still waiting on the approval of planning permission for the temple redevelopment, although the design has been completed.

## Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with 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), Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to small companies subject to the small companies regime and in accordance with FRS102 SORP 2019.
## Going Concern
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## INCOME
## Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when, the charity becomes entitled to the resources; it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## Grants
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.
## Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
## EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
## Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## Governance and support costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
## ASSETS
## Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with the aid of specific grants, either from the government or from the private sector, they are included in the Balance Sheet at cost and depreciated over their expected useful economic life. Where there are specific conditions attached to the funding requiring the continued use of the asset, the related grants are credited to a restricted fixed asset fund in the Statement of Financial Activities and carried forward in the Balance Sheet. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged directly to the restricted fixed asset fund in the Statement of Financial Activities. Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with unrestricted funds, depreciation on such assets is charged to the unrestricted fund.
Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis beginning in the year in which the asset is brought into use on the cost of tangible fixed assets, to write them down to their estimated residual values over their expected useful lives. The principal annual rates used for assets are:
