## **Trustees' report For the Year Ended 31 October 2025** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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). 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission titled ‘Public Benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. 

## **The Charity objects are to:** 

- advance education in Marathi culture, language, music, dance and art amongst Marathi speaking people their spouses and descendants (hereinafter referred to as Maharashtrians) in the United Kingdom through the provision of a centre, library, exhibitions, displays and other facilities and activities. 

- advance religion amongst Maharashtrians. 

- preserve and protect good health and to relieve sickness and poverty amongst Maharashtrians. 

- do all such activities that will help Maharashtrians to integrate with British culture and society so that Maharashtrians are benefited by the best of both cultures and make their living in the United Kingdom a fulfilling experience. 

Such activities may not be traditional Maharashtrian but in the spirit of aforesaid objects could cover activities like Sports Club, Education courses, celebration of British national days and so on. This list is not exhaustive and may cover activities that are in the spirit of mutually beneficial cultural co-existence without being prejudicial to Maharashtrian or Marathi culture. 

## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives** 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

The trustees of the charity are also common trustees of Maharashtra Mandal UK Ltd, an incorporated charity with same charitable objectives as Maharashtra Mandal London.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **a. Main achievements of the Charity** 

Diwali, Badminton & Cricket tournament, Gudhi Padawa, Shiv Jayanti, Maharashtra Din, Tejomay Saptsur and Ganeshotsav programmes were celebrated in the Mandal along with few other regular and one off events. The Executive Committee successfully managed these events efficiently coping with vast numbers of attendees. From the total donations, sponsorships & membership subscriptions generated of £105,908, a sum of £61,500 (2024: £37,500) was donated to Maharashtra Mandal UK Ltd. 

## **b. Fundraising activities (Building Fund)** 

The Trustees are delighted to provide this update on the progress toward securing full ownership of Maharashtra Bhavan. We have received a cheque form INR 5 crore (approx £405k) from the Government of Maharashtra. The government is currently in the process of transferring these funds directly to our bank account, which will enable us to complete the purchase of the freehold title. This milestone brings us closer to ensuring a permanent home for our community, preserving Maharashtrian culture, traditions, and social initiatives for generations to come. 

This generous support from the Maharashtra Government strengthens our foundation and opens new avenues for bilateral relations between Maharashtra and the United Kingdom. Maharashtra Bhavan will serve as a key platform for cultural exchanges through Marathi literature, dance, music, and festivals. We plan to host language classes, workshops, and international conferences to promote the Marathi language globally. Additionally, this will foster opportunities in industry,investment, and education, such as attracting UK investments to Maharashtra’s IT, manufacturing, and services sectors, establishing joint ventures, and developing scholarships and exchange programs for students. These efforts will enhance trade, tourism, arts,culture, and skills development between our two regions. 

On behalf of all members of Maharashtra Mandal London, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the visionary leaders who have made this possible: 

## • **Honourable Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis** 

## **• Honourable Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde** 

## **• Late Honourable Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar** 

## **• Honourable Minister for Industries and Marathi Language Uday Samant** 

Their foresight and generosity continue to elevate Maharashtra’s global presence and support our diaspora’s thriving community. 

Responding to a building fundraising appeal made in the last AGM to the members, a sum of £10,001 was received from members who generously donated specifically towards buying Maharashtra Bhavan. This sum is recorded as a restricted reserve in these accounts of the Charity. 

## **Financial review** 

The financial results for the year are set out in accompanying financial statements. 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

## **Trustees' report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 October 2025** 

## b. Reserves policy 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three to six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in donations, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while considering ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

## **c. Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **Structure, governance, and management** 

## a. Constitution 

The charity was established by a charitable trust deed dated 9th February 1963. The constitution of the charity was amended and filed with the Charity Commission 5th March 2014. The organisational structure of the charity is divided into two parts i.e. an Executive Committee (EC) and a Board of Trustees (BOT) 

The EC is responsible for the management and administration of the day to day running of the operations of the Charity. The EC is led by a President, who is elected on a periodic basis, together with other committee members who are appointed by the President. 

The BOT are responsible for overseeing the finances, investments, and custody of the Charity’s property. The BOT is led by a chairman and consists of a minimum of four and maximum of six trustees duly appointed under the provisions of charity constitution. One of the trustees is appointed as a Finance Trustee. In addition, the president of the EC acts as ex-officio voting member of the BOT. 

A Nomination committee is appointed who are responsible to scout for the appropriate trustee candidates and after interviewing them and depending on their qualifications, experience and commitment invite them to join the board of trustees. After the incumbent has accepted the invitation the nomination committee then recommends the incumbent(s) to the General Body for their approval of trustee appointment in the members Annual General Meeting. All current trustees accepted the invitation to become trustee of the charity in this manner. 

None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the Charity. The trustees are also common trustees in the charitable company Maharashtra Mandal UK LTD (MMUKL) limited by guarantee which has similar objectives as this charity. 

The EC members were elected at the Annual General Meeting held on 01 April 2023. 

All members of the Maharashtra Mandal London are also members of Maharashtra Mandal UK LTD. 

## **Post Balance Sheet Event:** 

Implementation of the new constitution and the registration of the new entity with the appropriate authorities is in progress. 

During the month of December 2025, the Board of Trustees, decided to appoint the solicitors Blake Morgan LLP to discuss and negotiate with the diocese of Church of England on behalf of the Charity, regarding certain Covenants which are unfavourable and hence required to be amended or deleted completely as they are totally in favour of the seller which is Church of England in the Charity’s case. The outcome of these negotiations would be intimated to the members when this matter will be concluded. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

## **Volunteers** 

We would like to thank all our volunteers for their hard work and commitment throughout the year in the running of various activities and cultural programmes and look forward to their continuous support in the future. 

## **b. Financial risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate

## **Maharashtra Mandal London** 

**Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 October 2025** 

## **1. General information** 

Maharashtra Mandal London is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission. The registered office is 306 Dollis Hill Lane, London, NW2 6HH. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

Maharashtra Mandal London meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 

## **2.3 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

**Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 October 2025** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.4 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.5 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **2.6 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 

## **2.7 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.8 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted 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. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
