The trustees have adopted the pr!)visions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable iri the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives for which the charity was established, as set out in its Trust Deed, are 1. to provide education and training for students and graduates in osteopathy.
-
to provide and maintain a clinic or clinics for the treatment of those in need of osteopathy.
-
to carry out research into a11d develop the methods and practice of osteopathy and to disseminate the useful results of such research for the public benefit.
-
to lay the foundation of a charitable hospital to be called "The Littlejohn Memorial Osteopathy Hospital" (in honour of the late John Martin Littlejohn, founder and Dean of the British School of Osteopathy).
The trustees delegate the day to day responsibility for organising the charity's activities to the clinic administrator.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity continues to provide the charitable activities as detailed above.
Until suitable premises are located for the memorial osteopathy hospital, the trustees have taken the decision to invest some of the charity's contingency fund into investment properties as the return on these investments are considered better than holding the money if! cash deposits at the bank.
Fundraising activities
The fundraising activities of the charity are primarily the provision of donations from patients receiving osteopathic treatment.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
As stated above the main source of income for the charity are the donations it receives for providing osteopathic treatment to patients along with interest it has received on its contingency fund.
Reserves policy
The charity has invested surplus cash into investment properties with a view that future proceeds from a sale of these property investments can realise the Trust Deed objective of establishing a charitable hospital.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE; AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document

Independent Examiner's Repor to the Trustees of The John Wernham College of Classical Osteopathy
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The John Wernham College of Classical Osteopathy
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The John Wernham College of Classical Osteopathy (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
