The Statement of Financial Activities shows The trustees consider the surplus achieved on its activities to be satisfactory.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows net incoming resources of £530,738 for the year and reserves of
£2,127,817
During 2020, the Gurdwara saw significant movement in its income and expenditure. The increase is an initiative to fund raise and complete the renovation projects undertaken.
The constitution of the charity remains an important part of our management structure. Compliance to the constitution and to the principles of Sikhism remains priority.
During 2020 the foot flow of congregation was substantially lower due to Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns. The support from the community the bank and commitment from the trustees we have been able get through this period without impacting our financial position.

The the charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The the charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees' have a reasonable expectation that the the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees' in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
## **1.4 Incoming resources**
