Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
The Charitable Trust is constituted by trust Deed.
Objectives and activities
The Charity's objects are to help and educate boys and young men, and girls and young women, particularly those aged between 11 - 20 years through their leisure time activities so as to develop physical, mental and spiritual capacities, so that they grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their condition of life may be improved.
Achievements and performance
The Trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory.
The trust would not be able to provide such a wide service to our beneficiaries without the continued support of a large number of willing support staff who give their services voluntarily.
There was a £12,766 increase in income and a £44,873 increase in expenditure during the year resulting in a net operating deficit of £4,984 compared to last year's surplus of £27,123. The income for the year includes a £20,000 grant from the National Lottery and a £25,000 grant from the London Marathon. Expenditure from these funds was £50,944.
Accumulated funds available are sufficient to permit the trust to continue in operation in the medium term. Support from the London Borough of Croydon was withdrawn in 2011/12 and alternative areas of financial support are constantly being sought. The lease to the premises at Stroud Green Way expired in August 2018 and has been the subject of one year extensions for 4 years until a new lease was granted at an annual rent of £1,085 per annum, expiring on 15 December 2031.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law.
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees as a minimum to prepare financial statements drawn up on a receipts and payments basis for each financial year. The trustees have chosen to modify the accounts to include amortisation of leasehold premises in the income statement and the inclusion of a prepayment and an accrual in the Balance Sheet.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Addiscombe Boys & Girls Club.
I report on the accounts of Addiscombe Boys & Girls Club for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 2 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act; to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 the 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 you as 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:
-
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
- (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
