Weavers Adventure Playground Association Trustees Report For the year ended 31 March 2025
The trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, " Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The Charity's objects and regulations are regulated by the constitution, and the charity is an unincorporated association.
Appointment of Trustees
The trustees for the purposes of charity law are known as members of the management committee. Under the requirements of the constitution, the members of the management committee are elected to serve for a period of one year, after which they must be re-elected at the next annual general meeting.
Trustee Induction and Training
The trustees maintain a working knowledge of charity and company law and from current year onwards, they endeavor to attend charity and company courses run by outside providers. New Trustees are given copies of the memorandum and articles of association and policies and procedures of the organisation.
Related Parties
During the year ended 31 March 2025, £3131.69 was reimbursed to trustees for project- related costs.
Risk Management
The trustees have identified the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and believe that the systems in place are adequate to mitigate those risks. The charity makes little use of financial instruments other than an operational bank account, and so its exposure to price risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk is not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and profit or loss of the charity.
Public Benefit Statement:
The trustees consider that they have complied with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 with regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. The paragraphs below demonstrate the public benefit arising from the charity's activities.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Principal activities of the charity remain as a social centre for children within Bethnal Green and East London, catering to children of all cultures and religions. The principal objectives and activities are as follows:
-
To manage and run an inclusive adventure playground for all children and young people
-
To provide opportunities for social integration and creative play in a safe, supervised environment
-
To provide workshops in areas of art/craft and sports that encourage healthy growth of the mind and bodies from all backgrounds and cultural groups`

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The statement of financial activities showed a net profit for the year of £2,398. (2023/24-deficit £50) and total reserves stand at a deficit of £2,503. (2023/24 deficit £4,901).
Reserves Policy
The management committee has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. The strategy is to build reserves through planned operating surpluses, the Management Committee has also considered the extent to which existing activities and expenditures could be curtailed, in the unlikely event that reserves become inadequate to meet the necessary commitments.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
Under the Charities Act 2011, the trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of the incoming resources in the year. In preparing the statement, the trustees are required to:
*select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,
-
*make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-
*state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of Recommended practice has been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the statements of accounts.
-
*Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its operations.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that any statement of account prepared by them complies with the regulations under section 130 of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report was approved by the Board and signed on its behalf by :

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Weavers Adventure Playground Association
For the year ended 31 March 2025
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 11.
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 year 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,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, 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 of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
