Organisational structure

New Parks Academy has a Board of up to 3 members who meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. A scheme of delegation is in place and the day to day management of the charity rests with the senior management team and volunteers. The management team is responsible for ensuring the sound management and monitoring of the activities and programmes and reporting to trustees and funders.

Volunteers

A great contribution is made by member volunteers. We are grateful for the many hours volunteers have spent listening and encouraging our parents and young people and working with our workers. Without this valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise we would not have been able to achieve so much. Our strength lie on our volunteer support and parents involvement.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the financial year, the owner of the freehold land and building at 22 Dillon Road, Leicester, LE3 9PF gifted the property to New Parks Academy. This significant donation has enabled the charity to continue providing essential community services, including daily prayers, madressa classes, and a range of educational and welfare facilities for local residents.

The Charity has organised events, activities, community support, many seminars for the wider community and sports recreation for youth to fulfil its aim and objectives.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

RESERVE POLICY

The charity reserves policy is to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves at the levels stated above will give enough resources in the event of adverse conditions. Systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to major risks.

Accounting and reporting responsibilities

The Charities Act 1993 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives 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 the financial statements the trustees should follow best practice and select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

Follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements; and

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and to enable them as trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 1993. The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the Trust's assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEW PARKS ACADEMY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of New Parks Academy for the year ended 31 March 2025

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.
