The Trust considered the annual report and
accounts for the year 2024/25, a summary
of operational and strategic matters. In the
short-term, preparations continue for works
on the exterior of the building.
The Trust’s tenants, primarily of the
Barham Park building, continued their
activities during the year. The tenants
include ACAVA (Association for Cultural
Advancement through Visual Art), the
Friends of Barham Library (Community
Library), Tamu Samaj (Nepalese
Community Centre), the Veterans, and
through the Children’s Centre. Some of the
tenants also organised a range of activities
for the wider public, particularly those
organised through the Community Library.
A number of new lettings are taking place
for vacant properties with EchoVibe Hub
and Friends of Barham Library subject to
lease agreements.
Within the park, a visiting funfair was
hosted for two visits during the spring and
summer of 2024; and contributes towards
the funding of the Trust. The park hosted a
number of community events during the
year; and a weekly walking for health
group. A tree planting event was organised
by a residents and tenants association.
The role of community organisations and
volunteers in the life of Barham Park and in
organising many of the above activities is
acknowledged.
Within the park, the establishment of plants
continued in the restored Queen Elizabeth
II Jubilee Garden. This project was funded
by NCIL (Neighbourhood Community| Infrastructure Levy) grants funded by Brent Council. The park of Barham Park continued as one of the most visited parks within the Brent area. The park has features including a Walled Garden, other gardens, trees and open woodland, amenity grassland and a meadow, a children’s playground and an outdoor gym. Barham Park hosted the Borough Remembrance Day event held in November 2024. The Barham Park Walled Garden achieved a Silver Gilt award in the London in Bloom 2024. ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. - 2.2 It is therefore my responsibility as the independent examiner to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **3 Basis and scope of independent examiner’s report** - 3.1 The independent examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charities Commission. - 3.2 An independent examination is a form of external scrutiny that provides a _limited check_ on specific matters. The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept in respect of the Trust and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations for any such matters. - 3.3 An independent examination contrasts significantly to that of an ‘audit’ and should therefore not be mistaken as such. The procedures undertaken as part of the examination do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, I do not express an opinion as to whether the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’. ## **4 Independents Examiner’s statement** - 4.1 In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - 1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the following 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 not been met; or - 2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Darren Armstrong CMIIA, CIA Deputy Director Organisational Assurance and Resilience (Head of Internal Audit)** **London Borough of Brent Brent Civic Centre Engineers Way, HA9 0FJ** **29 August 2025**
