UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
CHAIR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Introduction
As Chair of UACS, I am pleased to present this annual report highlighting the work undertaken through
our Elderly Persons Project during the reporting year. Our mission continues to be supporting the well-
being, dignity, and inclusion of older members of our community, particularly those who are isolated,
vulnerable, or living with long-term conditions.
Summary of Activities
Over the past year, our Elderly Persons Project has delivered a range of impactful services, including:
• Weekly Social Clubs: Held 48 sessions with an average attendance of 25 older people, offering
social interaction, hot meals, games, and light exercise. The arts and crafts sessions have produced
some amazing results from our members.
• Day Trip - Our annual day trip to Bognor Regis was well received by the 53 members and
volunteers who attended.
• Saturday Café - offers a more arts and crafts which prepares for main events at the Acton Gardens
Community Centre. The members also engage in window dressing of the office in Hanwell
displaying their arts and crafts to the wider community in the borough.
• Home Visits: Provided 10 home visits and delivering Christmas gifts and flower arrangements to
those unable to attend our activities due to ill health. Conducted friendly calls, helping reduce
loneliness and monitor well-being.
Outcomes and Impact
We are proud to report that the project achieved strong positive outcomes, including:
• Improved Well-being: 85% of participants reported feeling less lonely and more connected to their
community.
• Increased Independence: 70% of attendees felt more confident managing their health and daily
tasks.
• Community Involvement: Several elderly participants became peer volunteers, helping to lead
sessions and support others.
Challenges
Despite our achievements, we faced challenges:
• Rising Costs: Increased transport for our day trips and food prices affected the how we delivered
these services.
• Volunteer Recruitment: A shortage of regular volunteers meant we had to limit some activities.
All funds were used responsibly and in line with our charitable objectives. Full financial accounts are
submitted with this report.
Looking Ahead
In the coming year, we aim to:
• Expand our befriending scheme with new digital inclusion support.
• Launch an intergenerational programme pairing older people with local students.
• Secure sustainable funding to ensure continuity of services.

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees have pleasure in submitting their annual report and financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice
(SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and
financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes
to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United
Kingdom and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.
Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.
CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES
As set out in the charity's deed of constitution, the main purpose of UACS is to provide encouragement
and support for the citizens in the Borough of Ealing and its environment; to work towards the
elimination of discrimination of whatever form.
In furtherance of those objectives the charity seeks to confer with and assist users, statutory authorities
and other voluntary organisations with information and advice. The charity also seeks to raise funds and
invite and receive contributions from any person(s) whatsoever by way of subscriptions and otherwise.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
In planning and reviewing our services the trustees have given careful consideration to the guidance
contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
The focus of our activities remains the Older Person's Project; the project's objective being to provide a
hot and balanced lunch and encourage socialisation by trying to reach older people who are hard to
reach, getting them out of social exclusion and isolation to improve their quality of life. All our services
are open to the public, and many have benefited from them directly and indirectly.
In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they
have set by promoting good practice in delivering their core services to ensure equality and diversity in
the community.
ORGANISATION
The charity operates via an executive committee of trustees with a further sub-committee managing the
charity's existing project; i.e. the Older Person's Project.
The trustees are appointed by members of the charity at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). In
addition to trustees so elected, the Executive Committee may co-opt up to four further members who
shall serve until the conclusion of the next AGM.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks, which the charity faces,
and confirm that adequate operational, legal, and financial systems are in place to enable regular reports
to be produced so that necessary steps can be taken to minimise these risks.

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
RESERVES POLICY
Reason for Reserve
The Executive Committee has reviewed the charity's need for reserves in line with the guidance issued
by the Charity Commission. The Executive Committee has concluded that unrestricted reserves are
needed to:
- Provide funds which can be designated to specific projects on short notice, or for which no
funding can be raised, which further the organisation's charitable aims as stated in its
constitution.
- Cover administration and support costs without which the organisation could not function.
- Protect against risk and unforeseen expenditure which may arise that is beyond the
organisation's control, and cannot be met from existing income.
- Ensure the viability of the organisation beyond the immediate future, and provide reliable and
ongoing services over the longer term.
Policy and Procedures
The Executive Committee therefore, has agreed that unrestricted reserves should be held which
represent a minimum of three months of the expenditure, to ensure the organisation's operation in
the event of unforeseen contingencies.
- Should the reserves fall below the minimum, the Executive Committee shall endeavour within
reason and restrictions on allocated income to raise or allocate additional unrestricted funds
against the deficit.
No more than 20% of annual income shall be allocated to reserves.
No more than £15,000 of reserves shall be expended or accumulated during one financial year.
Should such circumstances arise, whether in accounting or accounts projections, the Executive
Committee will make every reasonable effort to raise or allocate additional funds against the
deficit for charitable expenditure or arrange for charitable expenditure of the surplus in line with
the organisation's stated objectives in the current or following financial year.
At the year-end free reserves which amounted to £9,357 were below the minimum target level (2024:
£25,168: Free reserves were above the minimum target level).

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
TREASURER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
We are very grateful to the London Borough of Ealing and National Lottery Community Fund for the
funding of our major projects.
We are also grateful to staff, members and well-wishers who assisted with our fund-raising events.
UNRESTRICTED FUNDS
Older Person's Project:
The charity runs this project within unrestricted funds. The project relates to the operation of a
subsidised Luncheon Club held at rented premises. The Luncheon Club as a service provider continues
to play its part in the community by allowing free access to the facilities provided for older people.
The charity also co-ordinates transport to and from the Luncheon Club.
Control over our financial resources has been maintained. This year, the Older Person's Project made a
deficit of £15,811 (2024: surplus of £1,704).
We continue to embark on further fund-raising ventures to supplement our funds so that we are able to
continue to enhance the quality of life for older people.
RESTRICTED FUNDS
Restricted funds operated by the charity are as follows:
• Building Fund: The charity has for several years tried to raise funds to help fund the charity's
long term objective of obtaining its own premises from which to carry out its charitable services.
However, the fund has not moved for a number of years and it is unlikely that the charity will be
able to meet this objective. The fund balance was £10,989 (2024: £10,989) at the year end.
Everyone Matters Project: The purpose of this project is to identify the impact of Covid-19 on
Ealing's Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and Refugee communities (BAMER).
During the year, the charity received a grant of £22,375 (2024: £22,250) from National Lottery
Community Fund and from this expended £18,836 (2024: £12,603), leaving a balance of the
fund of £32,291 (2024: f28,751) at the year end.
• Digital mentoring project: During the year, the charity received £5,000 from Acton Gardens
for this project (2024: Nil). This project did not commence during the year and the amount has
been carried forward to the next year.
I would like to express the charity's appreciation to its entire team for their invaluable services, and to
the volunteers for their dedication and commitment to the organisation in helping to maintain a high
standard of service to our users.

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements
for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the
incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
and the provision of the trust deed. They 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.
Signed on behalf of the Executive Committee on 291/July 2025.

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of United Anglo Caribbean Society (the 'charity') for the year
ended 31 March 2025 which comprise of the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and
notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting
Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then
ended;
• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice; and
•have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements
are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in
the relevant sections of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' annual report, other than the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other
information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover
the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
ба

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise
to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required
to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial
statements; or
• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees are
responsible for the preparation of financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and
fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance
with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
6b

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and
identified that the principal risk of non-compliance related to breaches of health and safety regulations
including food safety. We considered the effect on the financial statements, due to any non-compliance.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements,
such as the Charities Act 2011. We evaluated the risks related to the management's manipulation of
accounting entries and accounting estimates, which could directly impact the financial statements.
Audit procedures performed included:
• discussions with Trustees, including whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected
or alleged fraud.
• performing procedures to address the risk of management override. Our audit testing
included complete populations of certain transactions and balances, but typically involved
audit sampling and a selection of a limited number of items for testing to enable us to draw
a conclusion about the population from which the sample was selected.
• Reviewing grant conditions for any major non-compliance issues.
• Reviewing minutes of Executive Committee meetings.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities,
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of
instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud
rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or
misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-
fi/description-of-the-auditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our
auditor's report.

USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state
to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or
for the opinions we have formed.

Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with
items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes
to these financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and
Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable
in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102), Charities Act 2011 and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are presented in UK sterling which is the functional currency of
the charity and rounded to the nearest UK pound.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable
to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather
than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Tangible Fixed Assets
All assets costing more than £1,500 are capitalised and depreciated over 4 years on a
straight-line basis.
Donations and Grants
Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included in incoming
resources when these are receivable.
When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital grants, are for particular
restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this
income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure
includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the
expenditure to which it relates.

UNITED ANGLO CARIBBEAN SOCIETY (UACS)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Cost of raising funds comprises the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its
activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated
directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Other costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory
requirements of the charity and include a proportion of Audit and Accountancy and
sundry costs.
Debtors and Creditors
Debtors include amounts the charity has paid in advance for the goods and services it will
receive. Debtors also include amounts receivable on grant funding to which the charity is
entitled. Debtors are measured at the amount the charity anticipates it will receive from a
debt or the amount it has paid in advance for goods or services.
Creditors are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive
obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement
will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Leasing and Hire Purchase commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contract and finance leases are capitalised as
tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
Obligations under such agreements are included in creditor net of the finance charge
allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the
statement of financial activities so as to produce constant periodic rates of charge on the
net obligations outstanding in each period.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on straight-line basis
over the lease term.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees
believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of
funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from
authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient
with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires trustees to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and
judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
