The trustees which are appointed at the Association’s A.G.M. by representatives from affiliated groups are responsible for preparing financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the CIO will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are also responsible for ensuring balanced programs of activities are met, that the building is clean and inviting, that all Health and Safety practices are adhered to.

Objectives and Activities

Objectives

The aim and objectives set by the charity, and the strategies and activities undertaken to achieve them

To be a benefit to the inhabitants of Perivale and the surrounding neighborhood without distinction of sex, political, religious, race or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

Activities

The principal funding source came from the hire of accommodation.

The charity has managed to raise the income from hire of accommodation slightly higher than last year. We were able to hold a Christmas Raffle last year along with the sales of donated items.

The Centre has had on-going sales of donated items along with the Christmas Raffle and sale of greetings cards, jams & pickles. The sweet dispenser and crisp dispenser have also helped to raise funds throughout the year. Brent Valley Archers ran a course for new members and donated the course fees to the Perivale Community Association Charity.

The on-going economic situation and events in Ukraine continue to contribute to market uncertainty. As a result, the Charity closely monitors their ongoing impact upon the activities. While there are broader economic implications of events in Ukraine, such as increases in energy prices, rising pressure on the inflation rates, and so the charity is running at a loss.

The Management Committee feel that the Association has performed well in this continuing challenging time.

How the objectives set for the year relate to longer term strategies and objectives set by the charity.

Review of last year’s activities and last year’s accounts.

Grant Making Policies

None

Significant use of volunteers

Management Committee Members and Officers of several groups

Financial Review

Financial Position

The Management Committee reviewed the accounts and declared the Association to be in a healthy financial position. Despite efforts to keep outgoings as low as possible, rising utilities and governance costs resulted in a financial deficit in the year.

Reserves Policy

It has been decided that The Association will endeavour to keep one year's worth of running costs along with redundancy money for three staff as a contingency fund. Some of the contingency funds may have to be used to offset the deficit in future years. Hopefully this will not be needed with new groups starting use the centre.

Public Benefit Reporting

The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commissioners’ guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Plans for the future

The charity intends to fill any remaining vacant time slots with new groups and this is very close to be completed.

The aims and key objectives it has set for the future are to keep the Association solvent, and maintain the level of service we provide to members of the local community.

Chair’s Report

I present my report for the above period.

I am pleased to report that Perivale Community Centre has fulfilled its financial commitments for 2024/25. This includes a Christmas raffle and in-house fundraising which is on-going.

The Management Committee thank Tammy, Donna, Cliff and the people active in raising funds which have made the above possible.
