## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2019. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The London Sri Murugan Temple's primary mission is to promote Hindu religious activities and related cultural and charitable activities. 

The organisation provides the following services for the devotees and the community: 

- Place of worship 

- Religious services at the temple and into the community 

- Meeting place for elderly people 

- Cultural activities 

- Wedding services 

The Temple employs 9 priests and other religious workers who carry out religious services on behalf of the Temple and the devotees. 

In the future we hope to improve and further develop community services by developing a community resource centre that is associated with the Temple to provide facilities and services for visitors to the temple and other people in the community. 

## **Review of Progress and Achievements** 

The Charity reached a major milestone in May 2005 when the newly constructed Temple was opened with a Mahakumbhabishekam ceremony.  The opening has been highly successful and the Temple continues to be attended by a substantial number of devotees and visitors on a regular basis.  The Temple has been recognised as a landmark by Newham Council. 

In 2017, another Kumbhabishekam was conducted and celebrated following 12 years of the opening of the Temple, as is the tradition. 

In 2018 the Trustees and Management committee appointed Architects and consultants to begin the process of developing a community centre to provide more appropriate facilities as well as a wedding hall for the devotees of the temple. 

A considerable amount of work has been completed during the year with designs and meetings with the London Borough of Newham to obtain planning consent before development could begin. However we have not been able to progress with the proposed development plans as the Local authority has insisted on housing development on the site. The trustees do not consider this to be appropriate for the Temple and decided to revisit the designs with a view to remodelling the existing buildings to provide the proposed services. 

The Trustees expected this work to commence in 2020 but due to the Covid 19 pandemic crisis, no further work has been undertaken. The Temple was in lockdown from 20[th] March until 4[th] July 2020.  From 4[th] July the Temple operated  in a restricted manner conforming to Government guidelines on Covid 19 safety precautions until December 2020 when the Temple closed again until the end of March 2021. 

During the lockdown period, the Temple was able to furlough staff under the Governments Job Retention Scheme and the Temple continued to pay staff in full and where possible extra funds provided to alleviate any difficulties during this period. 

The Temple’s income has reduced since March 2020 due to restrictions on activity and understandable lower attendance of devotees but the income is sufficient for day to day operations. 

During lockdown, a new system for doing  archanas and poojas on line was introduced in June 2020  to help devotees unable to visit the temple.  This has been successful and devotes are continuing to use these services. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Charity has continued to provide many religious services in the Temple for the benefit of the community. The Temple

facilitates cultural programmes and activities on a regular basis and also provides a meeting place for the elderly and the young. 

The Temple, its facilities and the religious functions performed by the temple are open to the general public without any entrance fee charges. 

The Trustees confirm that they have given due consideration to the Charity Commissions published guidance on the public benefit requirement under Charities Act 2011.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Volunteers** 

The Trustees are grateful to the volunteers who helped during the year by carrying out activities for the charity. Many volunteers give up their time to help, particularly at weekends and in the evenings and we are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The Temple was closed or operating in a restricted manner for much of 2020-21 due to the global pandemic caused by Covid 19. Although Temple poojas continued to be performed regularly, devotees visiting the Temple fell greatly during the year and activities were restricted. 

The Temple took advantage of the support offered by the Government to furlough staff under the  Job  Retention Scheme and claim funding to help with the costs.  This income together with the introduction of on-line poojas have helped the Temple make a positive cash surplus.  The Trustees are pleased that the Temple has not had to draw down on its savings during a difficult period. 

During the year the Temple made a donation of £11,000 to the NHS to support its efforts to care for patients contracting Covid 19. Further from March 21, the Temple has been hosting a pop-up clinic for the provision of vaccinations for the community in Newham. 

During the year, the Charity generated total income amounting to £458,923  (2020 £832,442). The total expenditure for the year amounted to £525,405 (2020 £704,817), resulting in net deficit after depreciation for the year of £-66,483 (2020 £127,625) before other recognised gains. 

The Charity had cash reserves amounting to £2,042,794 at the balance sheet date (2020 £2,039,878). The Trustees intend to utilise some of these resources to redevelop its properties to provide a wedding hall, a community resource centre and to acquire further adjoining properties to provide sufficient car parking spaces. 

The Temple freehold properties were valued by the Trustees at **£6.8M** on 31st March 2016 and the investments properties at **£1.45M** on 31st March 2020. In the opinion of the Trustees these represent fair value at the year end. 

The fair value reserve at the balance sheet date amounted to £2,086,917 for the freehold properties and £531,855 for the investment properties. 

The trustees acknowledge and thank the auditors for the auditing services provided by the auditors on a voluntary basis. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees consider that the Temple had sufficient liquid funds at the balance sheet date to meet the charities immediate future requirements. 

To reduce the risk of over expenditure, proper procedures for authorisation of all transactions exist. To further mitigate the risk the management committee carry out strict controls on finances and periodic review of procedures 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document**

In August 2020, London Sri Murugan Temple became registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation(CIO) with a new Constitution and a new registration number 1190790.  Both registration numbers will continue to be valid until the transfer process to the new organisation is complete.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees  are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed  requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure,  of the charity for that period.  In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees and Management Committee on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by:

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF LONDON SRI MURUGAN TEMPLE** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of London Sri Murugan Temple (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2019 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

- In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements ; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Page 5 



**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF LONDON SRI MURUGAN TEMPLE** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.  This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under Section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
