## **4. CHARITY MISSION**
Our mission is to lead a community movement that redefines what support means, where every family across every generation has the essentials, an education, and opportunities to flourish, eradicating isolation and poverty as the norm and setting a new standard for society.
## **a) CHARITY AIMS**
## **AIM 1 - REDUCE POVERTY, HARDSHIP AND SOCIAL ISOLATION**
To reduce poverty, hardship and social isolation by ensuring families and individuals have consistent access to essential resources such as affordable food, emergency groceries, digital connectivity, fuel support and other vital provisions. By addressing these needs, people are better able to:
- Meet their basic needs;
- Rely less on crisis services;
- Improve their stability and overall wellbeing.
## **AIM 2 – SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE’S PERSONAL GROWTH**
Develop services and programs to support young people’s personal growth by providing access to education, creative programs, and positive social experiences helping them to:
- Build confidence;
- Develop essential life skills;
- and reach their full potential.
**Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.**
The charity continues to run a weekly food hub distributing food and household essentials to residents in the Wallington and Sutton area. Demand for this service has increased and we are currently distributing up to 600-700 KG of food each week.
## **b) ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
In 2024, we were proud to strengthen and expand our community outreach through the introduction of three new services: Champz Youth Club, Wallington Youth Choir, and the Handley Page Food Bank. Both the Youth Club and Youth Choir run during school term time, offering consistent, structured opportunities for local young people to learn, grow, and thrive. The Food Bank runs every Monday evening from 17:45 - 19:30.
The Champz Youth Club provides a safe and engaging environment for up to 30 children each week, helping them build confidence, develop social skills, and enjoy positive experiences beyond the classroom.
The Wallington Youth Choir, with around 10 regular members, offers a creative outlet where children can express themselves through music, nurture teamwork, and grow in self-esteem.
The Handley Page Food Bank has quickly become a vital safety net for families facing hardship, providing essential support with dignity and compassion. This initiative reflects a strong spirit of

collaboration between Wallington SDA Hub, Sutton Community Works, and volunteers from local churches, working together to meet the growing needs within our community. The Handley Page Food bank complements The Food Hub, providing emergency food provisions to persons referred to by the Trussel Trust referral partners
This expansion was made possible through a £45,000 grant, which enabled us to establish the Youth Club, purchase new equipment, and strengthen our logistics by acquiring a new van to support food distribution and community outreach.
The Food Hub continues to be one of our most valued and impactful services, forming the backbone of our community food support. Each week, the Food Hub provides food to over 300 families via direct distribution on Wednesday as well as support for the Youth Club and Youth Choir. On average, families receive approximately £50 worth of food per visit, helping to ease financial pressures and promote stability and dignity during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
In addition, our Supplementary School continues to offer free maths tuition for children aged 7–17 during term time. To date, 30 children have benefited from the programme, which uses mathematics as a tool to build confidence, enhance problem-solving skills, and improve academic achievement.
Together, these initiatives demonstrate our unwavering commitment to empowering children, supporting families, and strengthening community bonds through compassion, education, and opportunity.

## **c) VOLUNTEERS**
Our volunteers remain at the heart of everything we do. Across all our services — from the Food Hub and Food Bank to the Youth Club, Choir, and Supplementary School — their time, dedication, and compassion make it possible for us to reach hundreds of families and young people each week. They contribute not only their skills but also their warmth and commitment, helping to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
The success of our programmes continues to be built on this strong volunteer foundation, enabling us to extend our reach and maintain a high standard of service delivery while keeping costs low. Many of our volunteers are regular members of the local community, faith groups, and partner organisations, reflecting the collaborative spirit that underpins all our work.
We have also benefited greatly from our partnership with the local council, which has provided access to free enhanced DBS checks and safeguarding training. This has strengthened our commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for children, young people, and vulnerable adults, ensuring all our volunteers are properly vetted, trained, and confident in their roles.
Our volunteers embody the spirit of community service — giving their time generously to help others and making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.
## **d) RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES**
Like many small charities, we face a number of risks and uncertainties that could affect our ability to deliver services effectively. These include fluctuations in grant funding and donations, rising operational costs such as fuel, food, and venue hire, and the challenge of maintaining volunteer capacity to meet increasing community demand.
To manage these risks, we continue to diversify our income sources, build strong partnerships with local organisations and funders, and maintain financial reserves to cover unexpected expenses. We also regularly review our safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection policies to ensure compliance and protect both our service users and volunteers. Through careful planning and prudent management, we remain confident in our ability to adapt and continue supporting those who rely on our services.

## **5. FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **a) OVERVIEW**
In 2024, we experienced continued financial growth driven by increased donations from our Wednesday Food Hub and grant funding from multiple sources. Our total combined income of £64,000 was primarily supported by an expansion grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, which enabled us to broaden our services and strengthen our community impact.
We also continued to develop strong partnerships with local government and other stakeholders to enhance service provision for young people and families, ensuring our programmes remain sustainable and responsive to community needs.
## b) **TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS**
Transport and logistics costs have risen this year due to ongoing maintenance and servicing of our van, which is essential for collecting and distributing food and household essentials across our community projects. Although these costs have increased, they reflect our commitment to maintaining reliable operations that support families week after week.
## c) **VENUE HIRE**
Expenditure on venue hire has also increased following the launch of the Champz Youth Club. Providing safe, accessible, and engaging spaces for young people remains a key priority, allowing us to deliver consistent, structured activities that foster confidence, social skills, and community belonging.
## d) **TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT**
We have also seen a rise in technology and equipment costs, primarily due to the ongoing development of the Champions Challenge mobile application. This digital initiative is designed to inspire and engage young people by encouraging personal growth, motivation, and participation beyond our in-person sessions.
## **e) RESERVES POLICY**
As part of our commitment to sound financial management and sustainability, we continue to monitor expenditure carefully while maintaining reserves to cover maintenance and unforeseen expenses. This approach ensures we remain resilient and well-prepared to meet the evolving needs of our community.

## **6. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
Charity laws require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the statement of affairs of the Charity at the year end, and of its excess or deficit for that period.
In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Comply with applicable accounting standards subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statement on the ‘going concern’ basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in its operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper books of 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.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Auditor/Examiner**
The Charity requires an audit or independent examination of the accounts due to its revenue level. The Trustees believe an independent scrutiny engenders confidence among its valued donors and supporters.
Lawrence Yeung has expressed his willingness to offer his services in this direction, and a resolution proposing his appointment will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting.
This report was approved by the Trustees on the 17/12/2025 and signed on their behalf by:

## **7. INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
I report on the accounts **of Wallington SDA Hub** for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 11 to 13.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- Follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b); and
- State whether any particular matter has come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charities Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's statement**
Relating to my examination, no matter has come to my attention, which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, and the requirements:
-
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements for charities.
- have not been complied with.
