Trustees Annual Report

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements for the charity for the year ending 31 March 2022.

Objectives and activities

The charity holds weekly events at our community centre to preserve and promote Hindu culture. Members of community are regularly attending these weekly events free of charge in our warm surroundings.

This year we have achieved record number events post the pandemic lockdown. Our centre provides a safe healthy environment with sanitizer stations, temperature monitor and regular deep cleaning of the premises. The committee has also arranged a professional company to clean on a regular basis.

We are expanding our online presence to broadcast to the wider community of the facilities we offer using many of the social media channels. Further expansions will follow when sufficient funds allow.

The phase 2 – Main Community Centre development is being perused and the biggest challenges is funding and ever-increasing costs of materials. An intermediate stage may be implemented to assist with fund raising and alleviate current shortage of space at our centre.

Achievements and performance

Coming out of Covid 19 restrictions, we have restarted at our centre all the cultural events, educational classes, Lunch club for the elderly, Health and Wellbeing seminars, regular prayers and music and in addition, we enjoyed the successful Ganesh Utsav, Holi, Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, Jalaram Jayanti, Janmashtami, Navratri and more. We have had the pleasure of having at our centre the renowned dignitaries including the Deputy Mayor, Judge Francis Sheriden, Francesca Skelton, HM Deputy Lord Lieutenants', Councilor Sam Crooks, Councilor Manish.

We have successfully increased our online presence to broadcast to the wider community of the facilities we offer using many of the social media channels. Further expansion will follow when sufficient fund allows. Our centre helps a wider society by making the centre available for their regular functions without discrimination on faith or race.

The charity has worked closely with Arts and Heritage on several projects and seek to help the wider community. The charity is active in supporting and contributed to the food banks. From time to time, support is given to crisis appeals worldwide.

We have celebrated 3[rd] anniversary of our community centre with full house celebrating our achievement and acknowledging the benefits of having the centre.

We congratulate our own president Mr. Vinod Pankhania being awarded BEM (British Empire Medal) in January 2022 for his great work, achievements and leadership.

Financial review

Our financial status ends with a positive balance possible only by the generous donations and

help during the difficult times with covid grant. We have had salaried teachers helping with our educational classes for Language, Bollywood dancing, Yoga and wellbeing and music. (Not salaried) Our expenses are kept to minimum by kind help from all the volunteers working tirelessly.

The Chai Nasto (Lunch Club) has become very popular and has to manage through a waiting list due to the limited space available at current premises. The revenue from this helps with running costs and will support picnic outings in the summer months.

We have not taken the RISC valuation of our premises this year and has estimated value. The cash reserves accumulated approx. £119,449 will be supporting expenses toward the phase 2 development costs and day to day running. The minimal estimation to do the starting stage of Phase 2 is £2.4 million so this balance will need to grow in the coming years.

However, we have successfully increased our revenue over previous year and reduced expenses and therefore increased our funds going forward.

Structure, governance and management

We have maintained the requirements of our constitution.

We have had 3 new trustees introduced this year (Nayana Tailor, Manju Koria and Satmesh Panchal AKA Satish Panchal) replacing 2 outgoing trustees (Rikesh Raichura and Darshana Jagatia).

The core team is maintained with 5 members and the Executive team of 10 members plus 2 Co-opt members.

The enthusiastic team all help out with their multitude of skills helping with First aid, Health & Safety, Maintenance, Event planning, Management, compliance and more.
