## **Review of Activities**
In the year the Temple continued to provide reduced and covid compliant services to the community, religious functions, place of worship, weddings, langar etc as well as providing classes in Gurbani, Vaja, Tabala etc. One of the temple buildings is used by the Community Centre which provides for the youth, women and adults activities such as a health centre, aerobic classes, weight training etc. Many of the activities were impacted by the pandemic and different and reduced services were provided that had to take into account the lockdown and the restrictions imposed the government. This had a significant impact on the finances for the year.
## **Review of Financial Performance:**
The Gurudwara made a surplus during the year of £53k, down on the previous year by £78k. This was due primarily to the pandemic. The reserves policy is to have three months of unrestricted spend which would equate to £20k, the charity currently has negative reserves of £135k. The trustees have not been able to add to the reserves because of the impact of the pandemic, they will be looking to rectify this in the coming years.
## **Future Activities**
The Gurudwara will continue to provide its core activities (outlined above) in the coming year. However this has been severely impacted by the corona virus and the lockdown. Normal activities have not been delivered for the period of the national lockdown. We have however now opened up the Gurudwara, in line with the guidance issued by Government and are providing limited services to our congregation. The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above:

## **Independent Examination Report**
To the Trustees of Guru Nanak Gurdwara, on the financial statements for the year ending 31st December 2020 set out on pages 6 to 9.
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the applicable 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
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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.
It is my responsibility to, examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(b) of the Act), follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission and state whether particular matter have come to my attention.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
