## **THE RAJ PUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM** **Registered Charity No: 273125** **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for year 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2025** ## **THE RAJPUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM** ## **Registered Charity No: 273125** ## **INDEX TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR 01 APRIL 2024 TO 31 MARCH 2025** ||**Page**| |---|---| |Report of the Trustees|1 & 2| |Independent Examiner's report|3| |Balance Sheet|4| |Income and Expenditure account|5| |Notes to the Accounts|6| **Page 1** ## **THE RAJPUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM Registered Charity No: 273125** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR 01 APRIL 2024 TO 31 MARCH 2025** The trustees present their report and the accounts of the charity for the year to 31 March 2025. ## **STATUS** The Rajput Samaj of the United Kingdom is a recognised UK registered charity. ## **OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY** The main aims and objectives of the RSUK are to: - a. promote social, cultural, educational activities for the welfare of all members irrespective of creed & sexual orientation, maintaining the Rajput traditions and values. - b. support any charitable causes which the members may see fit to promote in relief of poverty, distress, and sickness in the United Kingdom and for specific causes abroad. - c. provide facilities, when possible, for the recreation and leisure activities, taking account of the needs of children, youth, elders and disabled in the RSUK. ## **REVIEW OF YEAR 01 APRIL 2024 TO 31 MARCH 2025** ## **Income** The net income of the charity for the year was £9,354.06 **(** Period ended 31 March 2024: £1,071.41) from donations, subscriptions, religious and cultural events. ## **Charitable distributions** The charity made £1,000 (Period ended 31 March 2024: £Nil) charitable donations during the year. ## **Reserves** Reserve funds are held in bank and building society accounts which generate interest at varied rates throughout the year. Interest and net funds raised from cultural activities are utilised for administration costs and charitable donations. Over the years the charity has accumulated a capital projects fund with a view to purchase a centre for the community. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT POLICY** The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to generating income. The trustees have made no risk related investments. A formal review is undertaken regularly to ensure that all surplus funds are invested in bank and building society accounts at best rates of interest. **THE RAJPUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM Registered Charity No: 273125** **Page 2** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued) YEAR 01 APRIL 2024 TO 31 MARCH 2025** ## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** The trustees are required by charity law to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year. In doing so the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - Prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the necessary regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are required to prepare accounts each year that comply with the statutory requirements, the constitution deed, the statements of recommended practice and the Charities Acts and to submit the financial statements to the Charities Commission as appropriate. These accounts comply with the above requirements. ## **APPROVAL** These accounts were approved by the board of trustees on 9[th] June 2025 and signed on their behalf. ## **By Order of the Board of Trustees** ## **Dharmendrasinh R Jadeja** ## **Trustee** **Page 3** ## **THE RAJPUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM Registered Charity No: 273125** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE RAJPUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM YEAR 01 APRIL 2024 TO 31 MARCH 2025** I report on the accounts of The Rajput Samaj of United Kingdom for the year ended 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 6. ## **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 statement** 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or - • the accounts do not accord with the accounting records I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn, in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Sapnaba M Chudasama** 13 Queens Crescent, Bedford MK41 9BN **Page 4** ## **THE RAJPUT SAMAJ OF UNITED KINGDOM Registered Charity No: 273125** |**BALANCE SHEET**
