**Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 September 2020** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

On constitution it was believed the cohesion and togetherness of the members of the Sikh faith in Luton required addressing. The charity began with an initial donation. Both the initial donation and subsequent donations since have been under the terms which allow the trustees to either retain the amounts as capital or to spend them. 

The objectives of the charity include; 

a) To bring together members of the Sikh community in Luton for deeper dialogue and cooperation b) To increase understanding and trust within the Sikh community, building on common ground between them yet respecting the unique contribution which each brings c) To work towards greater social cohesion and community integration in Luton 

d) To provide a place of worship for members of the local Sikh community 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During the year the charity continued with its high profile charity work. This included: 

Day Centre Programme - Shri Guru Ravidass Wellbeing Club 

The members of the Sikh community alongside the charity and other communities participated in a day care programme where the elderly and vulnerable members of the local Sikh community where given shelter and warmth. This also ensured they had a local social community aswell as alleviating isolation. 

Cookery classes and tuition 

Here the charity organised many classes where local members of the community can attend and be taught cooking lessons. 

## **Financial review** 

The net incoming resources for the year was a gain of £27,933 (2019 - £88,204). At the end of the financial year the reserves were £213,097 (2019 - £189, 193) of unrestricted funds and £13,921 (2019 - £9,892) of restricted funds. The adequacy of the reserves policy is reviewed annually. The trustees are satisfied that reserves are presently more than adequate to meet future expenditure. The reserves policy is to have reserves available in order to ensure the day to day operation continue into the foreseeable future.

Tangible assels {wntin￿￿)
An increase in the carrying amount ol an assel as a result ol a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless il reverses a charge lor impairment that has previously been
recognised as expenditure within the slalemenl ol financial activities. A decrease in the Carrying
amount ol an asset as a result of revaluation. is recognised in other recognised gains and losses.
except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain. in which case the loss is shown within

Depreclalion
Depreciation is calculated so as lo write off Ihe cost or valuation ol an asset, less ils residual
value, over the uselul economic life ol that asset as follows..
Equipment
20% reducing balance
Impalrment of flxed assets
A review for indicators ol impairment is carried out at each reForting dale. with the recoverable
amount being eslimaled where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, Ihe asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed lor
P95siblo reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes ol impairment lesling. when it is not pjssible lo estimate the recoverable
amount ol an individual assel. an estimate is made ol the recoverable amount ol the cash-
generating unil lo which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallest idenliliable
group ol assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent ol the
cash inflows from olhor assets or groups ol assets.
For impairmenl testing ol goo(hw'll, the goodwll acquired in a business combination is. from th¢
aequisition dale. allocaled to each ol the eash-generating unils thai are expected to bènefit from
the synergies ot the combination, Irrespective ol whether other assets or liabilities ol the charlty
are assigned lo those units.
