## **SENIORS IN TOUCH (SIT)** ## **CONTENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025 Trustees' Report Receipts and Payments Statement of Assets and Liabilities Notes to the Financial Statements ## **SENIORS IN TOUCH (SIT)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** ## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025 The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2025. The purposes of the Charity as set out in the Governing Instrument is for the benefit of seniors residing in Thamesmead and environs, to promote the health and wellbeing of its members through the provision of recreation and other leisure activities that will enhance their quality of life. During the period of this report, some activities undertaken by the charity are outlined below. We organised local and seaside trips, Arts and Cultural Community Engagement activities (E.g. Intergenerational Beauty in Diversity programme, Easter and Christmas Sing along events at Lakeview Court Thamesmead). Nutritional workshops were delivered by trained dieticians and nutritionists, focusing on healthy eating and the impact of diet on overall wellbeing. The sessions were highly interactive, giving members the opportunity to ask personalised questions related to their individual health conditions. Members birthdays were celebrated on a month-to-month basis with the celebrants for each month cutting a birthday cake and taking group photograph. Culturally relevant take away meals were also provided to members monthly. Seaside trips were organised within the course of the year to Margate Beach and Eastbourne Beach. We also had a visit to the National Maritime Museum during the year. We offered members a yearly Professional Massage Therapy and there were also three Arts and Crafts sessions held in conjunction with GDCA and a private artist. Members had the opportunity to make home and Christmas decorations during the Arts and Craft sessions in December 2025. We engaged in Cookery Sessions facilitated by GCDA, where members participated in the preparation, cooking and tasting of healthy meals. We also had a frailty Workshop (A falls prevention Workshop) which focused on how to prevent falls among the elderly. A Health care professional, Physiotherapist, was invited to speak with the members and the event was a huge success based on the feedback received after the event. The Trustees confirm adherence to the Guidance issued by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit. Our activities are open to members of the public who are 50 years and above living in Thamesmead, Southeast London and environs. Principal Funding Activities Members supported the activities of the Charity through voluntary donations received on a week-to-week basis and in support of specific programmes held all through the Year.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476. The trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. These accounts have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The financial statements were approved by the Board on 16 January 2026 and signed on its behalf by: **Abimbola Adetunji (Trustee, Chairperson)** Date : **16 January 2026** ## **SENIORS IN TOUCH (SIT)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025 ## **1. Accounting Policies** The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows. ## **1.1 Basis of preparation** These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation. These 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)” (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound. ## **1.2 Going concern** The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. ## **1.3 Change of accounting policy** These accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view ## **1.4 Income from donations or grants** Income from donations and grants is recognized when the charity is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal o'er is made in writing. If a donation or grant contains terms and conditions outside of the charity’s control which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds, or if the donor specifies that the funds must be used in future time periods, then the income is deferred. ## **1.5 Taxation** The organisation is a registered charity and has no liability to income tax or corporation tax on its charitable activities during the year. ## **1.6 Creditors** The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. ## **1.7 Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. ## **2.
