Trustees
No trustees are remunerated by the Trust.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
Current legislation requires Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the surplus or deficit for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
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 accounts; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and, hence, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement of disclosure of information to the Independent Examiner
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charity’s accountants are unaware and each trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have as a trustee in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Charity’s accountants are aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 05 APRIL 2025
CLAPHAM CHARITY TRUST
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 05 April 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 10.
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 under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
a) Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
b) Follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
c) State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity 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 you as 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
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that all material respects the requirements:
‘to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act’ have been met.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) YEAR ENDED 05 APRIL 2025
1 Accounting Policies (continued)
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognized where the charity has obligations resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognized at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Investments policy
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognized at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at their balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
Realized gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realized gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealized gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realized and unrealized investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Pension Costs
The Charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognized as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
