Ovèrview
Resource foi London provKles office space and meeling ¥oorns lo London based charitable
organis8lion5 81 an affordable rent al 356 Holloway Road, London N7 under a fifteen-yearlease granted
in 2018 by Trust lor London, (UK registered Charity 2056291. Resource for London is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Trust for London Ithe Trust). the largest independent Charitab￿ foundation funding work
tackling povety and inequality in the capital.
The Centre is managed on a day-to-day basis by The Ethical Propety Company who work dosely with
the Board.
Objectives and Activities
We have given due consideration lo the Charity Commissiorh's published guidance on the Public Benefit
requirements under the Charilies Act 2011 when reviewing our aims and obje¢lives and in planning our
future aclivilies.
Resource for London promotes and improves the efficiency and effectNeness of charitable
organisalions. In delivering this object Resource for London's Centie provides office space and
meeting rotsms lo London based ¢harrties * affordable rents and charges. 11 is where London'5

years. It delivers outstandin9 social impact for Ihe voluntary sector in the Ca￿tal.
Achievements and Performance
Our Tenants
Resource for London is home to organisations addressing povety and inequality in the capital both by
campaigning or providing servi¢es and supp(￿. Our Tenants currenlly include Race On The Agenda.
Hibiscus, Student Action for Refugees and Ihe St Giles Trust. The Elhical Propety Cornpany. who
manage the Centre for Resource for London. worked hard throughout the year to find new tenants. and

Resource for London Report and Financial Statemerbt$ 31 December 2022
we recently welcomed Rosa Fund and Healing Justice. We also provide free desk space as part of our
grant funded Enhance project. During the year the Enhance desk space gave rnany small and start up
community groups space lo work from as well as support around govemance and fundraising.
As with offices throughout the UK and beyond the post-covid wortd is one where many more people
work from hc*me for part of the week. Although we continued to see a trend of people returning lo
offices pre-pandemic levels have not yet been achieved. We started the year with 65% occupancy and
despite some tumover of tenanls during the year, o¢cupan¢y of 70% was a¢htved from 151 January
2023. There are 18 tenants currently in the building and we are finding that smaller units ale proving
more attractive lo potential tenants.
Throughout 2022. Resource for London continued its positive action lo retain and support our tenants.
This included free fundraising and business planning sessions resulb'ng n some securing new funding
streams and two new collaborations on projects befv￿en tenants.
Conference and Meetin
ce
Resource for London continued to see a good rebound in demand for meeting space post-pandemic.
This may mean that whilsl demand for office space is only steadily increasing, working from home
appears lo generate a higher demand for meeting rooms. In particular, organi5alions providing training
or organising seminars for the nol-for-profit se¢lor have relumed to the Centre. We have ¢onb'nued lo
engage ¥Mth our key cuslomers lo relain their commitment to Resource for London and our marketing
efforts also attra¢led many new customers.
One of our ground floor shop front spaces vras used a5 an NHS Vaccination Cenlie until June 2022
and the National Heatth Blood Translusion Service conlinueil lo fun an average ol two sessions a
month", they see us as a valuable. even essential resource.
Maytree, pioviders of ￿SidentIal facilities for people in suiud31 crisi% and the Samarrtans have
continued to use the Centre in 2022 and Barnardo's are now regular users of our meeting space.
Through these organisations, Resource for London has conlinued to make a si9nificanl contribution to
the wellbeing of Londoners.
A large proportion of the smaller meelings th* %%Y)tsld have laken I￿ace at Resou￿ for London pre-
2020 have now migrated online. We have therefore had to rethink our model and many organisalions
now use a hybrid model that provides both face-lo-face and online optK)ns for attendees. All of our
meeting looms as well as the Conference Hall are now equipped to offer hybrid meelings and we have
Gonlinued lo inve51 in sound equipment and othei resources to meet the Increasing expecl8b.ons of our
customers.
As a￿aYS, the diversity of not-for-profit organisalions that choose Resource for London for their events
is striking ranging frorn small community groups to major national charities and health and social care
public sector bOd￿S local. Tegional and national.
Our café was closed throvghoul the pandem￿ and this was much missed by both lenants and meeting
room users. During Ihe year St Giles Tcust reopened the café as a social enterprise enabling them lo
train and employ clients.
We are looking forward lo a pos11ive year in 2023 wlth a go￿ level of forward bookings for meeting
space.
The following graph illustrates our continued recovery from the pandemic with projections for the next
two years.

Under company law the Trustees musl not appfove the financial slatements unless they are satisfied that

Resource for London Report and Financial Statements 310ecember 2022
In so far as each Tru51ee is aware, there is relevant audrt information (that is, information needed by the
company's auditors in ¢onnection with preparing their report) of which the company's auditOf5 are unaware",
and each Trustee has taken all the steps that they oughl to have taken as a dire¢tor in order lo make
themselves aware of any relevant audit infomiaiion and to establish that the company's auditors are aware
of that inforrnation.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenan¢e and integrity of the corporate and financial infomalion
included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the UK governin9 the preparation and
dissemination of financial slalements may differ from legislation in otherjurisdicbons.
Members of the Charity guarantee lo contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Charity in
the event of vAnding up. The total number of such guaranlees at 31 Decembei 2022 was 1 12021 11. The
Trustees are not members of the Charity therefore they have no enlrtlemenl to votin9 rights. The Trustees
have no beneficial interest in the Charity.
Conclusion
2022 ha5 been a furthei year of recovery and Resource for London would not have achieved what il has
wlhoul the support of City Bridge Trust and Trust for London and the hard w￿k by The ElhKal Property
Company team. Resource for London has taken a thg stride toward a full recovery and we believe that,
despite the economic headwnds. this will take a lurther year.
11 is also evident that life will be much harder for communib.es in the ¢apiial that were already experiencing
the highest levels of poverty and disadvantage. Since the siart of Ihe pandemic and now the cost of living
crisis there has been a surge in new community organisath)ns being set up across London to meet basi¢
needs. Our role as a key capacity builder for London's VCS and a calawsl for activities that support the
hardest hit communiknes means that Resource for London remain5 an essenb.al resour¢e for the capital.
This report is prepared in accordarKe with the provisions of the CoMpan￿S Act applicable to srnall entities.

Resource for London Report and Financial Statements 310ecember 2022
Extent to which th8 audit was consideTrd capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance wth laws and regulations We identified and
assessed the risks of material misslalemenl of Ihe financial statements from irregularities, whelher due to
Iraud or error, and discijssed these between our audit team members. We then de519ned and performed
audit procedures responsive to those risks. inrjuding oblaining audit evidence suffi¢ienl and appropriate lo
provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding ofthe legal and regulatory frameworks wlhin which the charitable company
operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the delemiinalion of material
amounts and dis¢losures in the financial statemenls. The laws and regulalions we considered in this context
were the Companies Act 2006 logelhw with the Charities SORP IFRS 102). We assessed the required
cornpliance wth these laws and regulation5 as part of our audit procedures on the related financial
slalemenl items.
In addition, we Considered provisions of other laws and regula￿'OnS that do not have a direct effect on the
Inancial statements bul ¢omplian¢e wlh which mighl be fvndamenlal lo the charitable company's ability to
operate or lo avoid a material penaty. We also ¢onsidered the opportunitie5 and incentives that may exist
thin the charitable company for fraud. The laws and ￿gUlationS we considered in this context foi the UK
operations were Televanl health and safety and other legislatson in connection with operating as a
commercial landlord.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identfy non-compliance wlh these laws and
regulations lo enquiry of Ihe Twstees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence, if any.
We identified the g￿alest risk of material impact on the financial slalemenls from irregularities, including
fraud, lo be within the timing of recognition ol ienl and servKe charge income, aulhorisalion and approval
of expenditure transactions and the override of controls by management. Our audrt procedure5 to respond
lo these risk5 included enquiries of the managing partner, The EthTcal Property Company, and the Board
about their own idenlificalion and assessment of Ihe risks of irregularities, sample tests'ng on the posting ol
journals, reviewing accounting eslimales foi biases, reviewng regulatory correspondence with the Charity
Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance.
Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audil. there is an unaVoida￿e risk th* we may not have dele¢teil
some material misslatemenls in the financial statements. even though we have properfy planned and
performed our audit in accordance wth auditing standards. For example, the lurther removed non-
compliance with laws and regulations lirregularib.esl 15 from the events and 1ransacb.ons reflected in the
rinancial siatemenls. the less likely the inherently limited pr￿edureS required by auditing standards would
identify it. In addition, as ¥Mlh any audit. there remained a hrgher risk ol non-deleclion of Irregularities, a5
these may involve collusion. forgery. intentional omissk)ns, misfepresentations. or Ihe override of internal
controls. We are not fesponsible for preventiThJ non-compliance and cannot be expected to dete¢l non-
compliance with all laws and reguLqtions.
Use of our report
This report is made solety to the charitable company's members. 3$ a body, in accordance with Chapter 3
of Part 16 of the Companies Acl 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might slate lo the
charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and
lor no other purpose To the fullest extent permitted by law. we do not accept or assume responsibilily to
anyone olher than the charitable Company and the tharitsble company's members as a body, for our audit
work, for this report. or for the opinions we have forffled.
