REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31

MARCH 2025

The Management Committee presents its report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

GOVERNING DOCUMENT

The club is an unincorporated charity, registered as such on 24 April 1970

The charity was established under a Trust Deed dated 24 April 1970 as amended on 5 June 1997 which established the objectives and powers of the charity. Under that deed, the trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act as a Trustee, either to fill a vacancy, or as an additional Trustee.

ACTIVITIES

The charity exists to provide facilities to individuals and communities who are in need due to poverty or disadvantage, and in doing so to improve their quality of life.

RESULTS

The net incoming resources for the year amounted to a negative amount of £38,467, leaving a fund balance of £96,627. This compares to an incoming net resource in 2024 of £63,922, and a fund balance of £148,381.

CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES

To establish and develop an attractively designed playground i.e. a playground where moveable equipment and materials are provided with a view to contributing to the health, well-being and happiness of children and safely promoting their educational, physical and emotional development through a wide range of recreational facilities.

FUTURE STRATEGY

The charity plans to continue the activities as outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements to benefit the children and families of the Sands End community. Funding and other beneficial support is being sought from the local business community and the wider national and local charitable trust funds.

2

RESERVES POLICY

The management committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or investing in

tangible fixed assets (‘the free reserves’) held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of resources expended. The management committee will continue to seek funding from a broad base of charitable trusts supporting our objectives in order to maintain and improve on current service delivery.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The management committee has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and this will be in deposit accounts which will ensure that the funds are in a liquid state at all times. Reserves will be placed in a ‘High Interest’ account in order to make the best of the current financial climate.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The principal current funding source is the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, and the John Lyons Charity. Additional income is generated through childcare fees, room hire and other chargeable activities. We are seeking and have had successful small local grants for specific activities and will seek larger grants for posts.

RISK REVIEW

The management committee has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the

implementation of our revised financial procedures. These policies and procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of the charity.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The Charities Act 2011 requires the management committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which

give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements the

management committee should follow best practice and:

The management committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable

accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements

3

comply with the charities act 2011. The management committee is 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.

MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Members of the management committee, who are trustees for the purpose of charity law, who serve during the period and up to the date of this report are set out on page 3.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS

Jorgis Accountants have agreed to act as independent examiners to the charity.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by

Charities.

Approved by the management committee on 20th November 2025.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have
come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that
disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material
respect:
•
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130
of the Charities Act; or
•
the accounts did not accord with the accounting		 records; or
•
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements
concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement
that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter
considered as par of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection
with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this repor in
order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
