the ietirernent of Sardar Nirmal Singh Kaily, who selflessly served for 18 years. While errorts
we¥e made to form a consensus-based comrnittee and avoid electlons, the decision was
ultimately made to proceed with an election in which Mr. Mann wa5 elected.
2. StaffSng Changes. The previous Klrtani latha departed wilhout prior notice, creating
operational challenges. Temporary arrangements were made promptly, and a new Jatha has
since been appointed. Or]e member is currEE)tly awaitlng arrlv21 to commence duties.
3. Buildlng Malntenance,. Flat 4A, an investment propeFty, developed mould issues and was
fully renovated wllhln a Few months.
4. January was notably challenging due to an unexpected incre3se in bereavernent services,
exacerbated by staff shortages
5. The Gurdwara successfully sponsored several commLtnity programs, Including Nagar
Kirtan, Sports Dayi Ladies, seaslde trips, Sikhy Camp, Punlabi classes, and student
outing5.

The Charlty reported a net surplus of £79.432 (compared to a deficit of £49,185 in 2D241. Trustees
are satisfled with thls year's financial outcome, made possible through voluntary contributions from
the 5angat. The gurdwara would not be able to provide such & wide service to all the members and
worshipei's without continuÈd support of many willing supportive people who give their service
vDluntarily.
Despite the pre5sure5, the trustees are Confident with the ongoing support from the 5angat, and It Is
apprapriate to adopt the going concern in prepafin8 the accounts as was applied in previous years.

to the Charities ability to operate as a goinE concern. The trustees have confirmed that. after careful
revlew of the reserves pollty. the most appropriate measure of reserves for the reserves of the
Charity is by reference to the chèfities Ilquldity position. In consldpring th@ adequacy of the reserves,
the Trustees have taken largely discretlonary nature of its expenditure into account and relativelv
stable level of annual donations were retrived.

1055es alreddy incurred or lor the purpose tsf giving immediate financial support to the entlty with no
future related cost5 shall be considered a5 incomE in the period it becomes receivable,
