## Trustees’ annual report 

## For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2024. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association, the requirements of a directors’ report as required under company law, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. 

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on supporting those living and working in Clerkenwell and surrounds and are undertaken to further The Peel’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

## A message from our Chair 

It is with great pleasure that I present The Peel’s Annual Report for 2023-24, a year in which we have focused on stabilising the organisation after an extended period of change and external challenges. This period of reflection and renewal has allowed us to maintain vital services, strengthen our foundations, and plan for an ambitious future. 

Throughout the year, The Peel has remained a pillar of continuity in Clerkenwell, delivering programs that address key community needs such as food poverty, mental health, and social isolation. From the success of our inaugural Community Christmas Fair to our ongoing food distribution efforts, we have continued to make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. 

This year, we also redefined The Peel’s ‘True North’ reaffirming our purpose of fostering a vibrant, connected, and cohesive community. By building meaningful partnerships and prioritising human connections, we are ensuring that Clerkenwell becomes a place where everyone feels valued, supported, and included.

The Peel Institute Company 

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

Our achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment and generosity of our staff, volunteers, and Trustees, as well as the trust and generosity of our partners and funders. To everyone who has contributed to our work, we are deeply grateful. Thank you! 

Looking ahead, The Peel remains extremely ambitious about our future in the heart of Clerkenwell. We are committed to growing our impact and meeting the evolving needs of the community. Together, we will continue to make Clerkenwell a place where everyone thrives. 

With warm regards, 

Rosie Allimonos Chair of The Peel 

## Introduction and context 

Over the last eight years, The Peel has faced several challenges including: 

- The sale of our community centre at Percy Circus in 2016 and the move to the Three Corners Centre in 2017, with all the associated implications for ways of working and staffing 

- The impact of the Covid pandemic from 2020 

- Changes in leadership, with four CEOs (including Interim) between 2019 – 2023. 

Throughout and despite this period of change and instability, we have ensured that our work with and support for the local community has been maintained. 

With the appointment of a new Chair, an additional new Trustee/Chair of Resources Committee, and the arrival of an Interim (now Permanent) CEO, all in the summer of 2023, The Peel has taken the opportunity to: 

- Focus on stability, both of delivery and organisational/internal operations 

- Review its identity, ambition and strategy, and operations, developing the platform for our future development and impact, including: 

   - Articulation of The Peel’s ‘True North’ (see below) 

   - Development of operational and strategic plan for 2024-25, within the context of a longer-term financial plan.

The Peel Institute Company 

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

## The Peel’s ‘True North’ 

In the Autumn of 2023, board and staff together undertook a process to review and re-articulate The Peel’s core identity, its ‘True North’.  This is described below, including an expression of ambition, and key outcome areas and assumptions. 

## Purpose – why The Peel exists 

“By working with and connecting all those living and working in Clerkenwell (and surrounding areas) we will enhance the well-being and life experience of the whole community.” 

## Our Values and Principles 

- ‘People-first’ - we prioritise human connection and relationships 

- ‘ 

- • Open to all’ – we treat people equally, without distinction 

- ‘ 

- • Work with not do to’ – we are part of the fabric of the Clerkenwell community, not separate from it.  We seek to empower and support our local friends and neighbours 

- ‘ 

- • Compassion’ – we care passionately for the people in our community, treating them with the respect and dignity they deserve 

- ‘Partnership’ – we can’t do everything by ourselves, so we work in partnership and collaboration with others, both inside and outside The Peel, to maximise the difference we make. 

## Aspirational Values and Principles 

We are aiming to develop and fully integrate the following values and principles in our work. 

- ‘Learning’ – we will only achieve our aims and ambitions if we fully understand the needs and aspirations of our local community and if we learn from the work that we do, where it works well, where it doesn’t and where it can be improved 

- ‘Innovation’ – we will look for and test new ways of doing things that could improve our impact. 

## Our Ambition – the change we want to see 

Clerkenwell is a vibrant, connected and cohesive community where: 

- There is awareness and understanding across the community of the strengths, assets, needs and challenges faced by all those living and working in Clerkenwell and surrounding areas 

- Everyone feels valued and appreciated 

- People are healthy, safe and secure 

- There is a positive sense of pride, energy commitment and ambition 

- The potential of Clerkenwell as a whole community is being realised.

   - Basic needs:  food, clothing, essentials 

   - Connection and relationships 

   - Health:  physical and mental 

   - Learning, knowledge and skills 

   - Giving and volunteering. 

## Key assumptions and approach 

- The Clerkenwell Community includes all those living and working in Clerkenwell (and surrounding areas):  residents, local businesses and institutions and those that work in or engage with them, and Islington Council 

- We take a ‘needs/issues-led’ approach, within the framework of ‘well-being’/outcome areas above ie: 

   - Social needs:  connection, relationships, addressing Isolation and loneliness 

   - Health:  physical (inc. nutrition, cooking) and mental (inc. mindfulness) 

   - Basic needs eg. warmth, food, clothing, other necessities 

   - Digital exclusion 

   - General advice and support. 

- We try address both the short-medium term (Alleviation) and the medium-long term (Prevention) 

- We HAVE TO work in partnership and collaboration – we can’t do everything. 

## Statement on Public Benefit 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. In particular, our services are aimed at the prevention or relief of poverty, advancement of health and advancement of citizenship or community development. 

## Our activities 23/24 

## Delivery and impact 

Whilst we take a ‘whole community’ approach, our work focusses on vulnerable groups in particular, though not exclusively, older adults, and children, young people and families inc.

The Peel Institute Company 

## Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

- The Islington Management Group, convened by the Central District Alliance, the Business Improvement District that includes Clerkenwell 

- The Radical Clerkenwell Working Group, bringing together organisations and individuals with the common aim of using history and heritage to engage with and support the local community.  Organisations involved include:  the London Archive, the Dickens Museum, the Marx Memorial Library, the Islington Museum and the Charterhouse. 

With our focus on maintaining ongoing delivery activity and providing organisational stability, as well leadership changes at The Peel over the year, the Clerkenwell Alliance, the cross-sectoral network of local organisations that we convened through Covid, has been on the backburner somewhat.  We aim to reconvene the Alliance at the appropriate time. 

## Volunteers 

The Peel is incredibly fortunate to have some wonderful volunteers, across all areas of our activity, who continue to support our work.  We are very grateful to them all. 

## Organisational development and operations 

Alongside our delivery and impact activities we have spent time reviewing and developing our internal operations, including: 

- Budget format and process, to provide better management information and insight 

- Our ‘Target Operating Model’, to ensure that we have the right resources in right places.  We are recruiting to and developing the model on an ongoing basis 

- Regular staff engagement, including oversight, training and supporting their well-being 

- Reviewing, and updating where necessary, our policies and procedures, including safeguarding (plus see below) and financial controls 

- Developing our IT systems, including digital security, so that they are ‘fit for purpose’. 

Organisational development remains a key strand of activity, as we continue to build that capability and resilience that will support our delivery and impact as we move forward. 

## Safeguarding 

The Peel is committed to safeguarding all adults and young people from harm and will not tolerate abuse in any form. 

We have reviewed and developed the following policies: 

- Adult safeguarding 

- Child protection 

- Digital safeguarding 

- Safer recruitment. 

10 



The Peel Institute Company 

## Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

Safeguarding is a standing item agenda at all board meetings and main internal staff meetings, and we continue to ensure that all staff, volunteers and board members are up-to-date with any necessary training. In addition, Emma Hallinan, board member, has taken on the role as our Safeguarding Trustee. 

## Financial review 

The statement of financial activities shows income for the year of £511,364 (2023: £535,667) with expenditure of £716,903 (2023 £656,995) leaving a deficit before investment gains/losses of £205,539 (2023: deficit of £121,328). 

We registered investment gains of £526,650 (2023: losses of £761,386). 

At the end of the year, we carry forward a reserve of £9,062,271 (2023: £8,741,159), of which £8,445,376 is designated (2023: £8,306, 171) with the remaining £616,895 (2023: £434,988) being unrestricted general funds, which represents 12 months of forecast unrestricted expenditure. Free reserves (unrestricted funds, less designated funds and fixed assets) at 31 March 2024 are £589,669 (2023: £405,368). 

## Investments 

The Peel’s funds exist for two purposes: to maintain reserves, and to provide an income to cover core operating costs. 

The Board provides ongoing stewardship of funds and investments and oversees the activities of The Peel’s two fund managers.  We hold regular (at least annual) meetings to review performance, jointly to agree priorities and/or adjustments to approach for the year/s ahead. 

Funds are held in charity specific investment vehicles, approved by the FCA, guiding and restricting where and how funds are held ie. with due consideration to social and environmental factors. 

Investment objectives are: 

- Cazenove:  UK CPI +4%, over rolling 10-year period 

- Rathbones:  UK CPI +3%, over rolling 5-year period. 

Performance from April 2023 – March 2024 as follows: 

   - Cazenove: 9.7% return 

   - Rathbone:  10.5% return 

- (vs. CPI +3% of 6.5%, based on most recent CPI figure published at time of valuation). 

11 



The Peel Institute Company 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

## Reserves policy and going concern 

The Peel will maintain reserves equal to 12 months of unrestricted expenditure to cover working capital, funding shortfalls and unexpected costs. The level of reserves is reviewed by the Resource Committee on a regular basis, based on analysis of projected income and costs. 

The Peel is fortunate to have investments and reserves, a legacy of careful stewardship of the organisation’s assets over its 125-year lifetime and, more recently, the sale of the community centre at Percy Circus in 2016.  This financial base gives The Peel stability, continuity and sustainability that allow us to plan and address the long-term challenges that many in our local community face, whilst also being able to take action in the short-term. 

In addition, the income generated from our investments allows us to make a significant contribution to our core operating costs, including staff costs – we take our responsibilities as a local employer seriously.  This in turn means that any additional funds raised can, if so desired, go straight to the ‘front line’. 

For the reasons outlined above, our aim is to maintain the level of investments and funds, including through fundraising, rather than draw down on them, which would likely reduce our income over time, and therefore have a negative impact on the scale and quality of the work we could do and on the communities with whom we strive to make a difference. 

## Principle risks and uncertainties 

To evaluate, manage and mitigate risks a risk register is maintained.  It is reviewed and updated at each board meeting.  At time of writing, we have a range of low-level ‘green’ and ‘amber’ risks that are being managed appropriately. 

Whilst not a specific risk per se, the external environment (inc. eg. the level of need across the community; and financial/capacity/capability pressures on the local authority, and actual and potential partners, funders and donors) continues to be challenging. 

We continue to push the Council to conclude our lease arrangement on Three Corners on reasonable terms, ensuring that they take appropriate responsibility as landlord.  An ongoing challenge.

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

## Fundraising and income generation 

The Peel fundraises in line with the Code of Fundraising Practice in all our fundraising activities. We have not used any professional fundraisers or commercial participators. We did not receive any complaints in relation to our fundraising activity. 

Through years ending 2021-2024 we have been in receipt of a core grant of £200,000 (£50,000 per annum) from Islington Council as part of their VCS Partnership Grants programme.  In October 2023 we successfully applied for the next four-year funding round.  In a challenging environment, where some previous grantees were not awarded anything, and most had their grants reduced, we secured funding of £160,000 (£40,000 per annum).  A good result. 

In addition, our Food Connections grant (£20,000) was renewed by the Council. 

The Paul Hamlyn Foundation have kindly renewed their two-year Neighbourhood Fund funding (£20,000 per year) for 2024/5 and 2025/6.  They can only renew once, so this funding will come to an end in March 2026. 

Despite receiving an encouraging initial response, we were unsuccessful with an application of c.£63,000 to the National Lottery Community Fund Cost of Living grants programme. 

We continue to generate income through the hire of space at the Three Corners, most notably through our long-term license agreement with Migrateful, a food/cooking charity working with asylum seekers and refugees, but also through regular and ad hoc hires to, for example, dance schools and faith groups, Clerkenwell Design Week, and local residents. 

We also undertake adhoc fundraising activity (eg. the Kung Fu fundraiser, raffles/tombolas etc) and take in small contributions from members/users of The Peel for various activities where appropriate and reasonable eg. one-off trips. 

## Plans for the future 

The Peel is ambitious for the future and the positive impact it can make as part of the wider Clerkenwell community.  Having developed a degree of stability over the course of 2023-24, we plan to: 

- Further develop and refine our strategic approach, including through the development of a Theory of Change model and our approach to impact measurement and reporting 

- Ensure that we are maximising the impact of our financial and other assets and resources, in pursuit of our core purpose and overall ambition 

   - Focus, maximise use of resources 

13

## Structure, governance and management 

The Peel (Institute) was formed in 1898. It is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 20 June 1997 and registered as a charity on 16 February 1998. 

The organisation operates under the company’s Articles of Association, which sets out the objectives of the Charity, its powers and rules governing its procedures. 

Members of the Board of Directors, who act as Trustees of the Charity, and number not less than four and not more than fifteen, supervise the governance and management of the organisation. Directors who served during the year, or have been subsequently appointed, are shown on page 1. 

Appointment to the Board is by nomination by the members after the needs of the Charity are considered by the current Directors. The Board of Directors aims to ensure that the composition of Directors contains individuals with suitable skills and experience to contribute positively to the governance of the Charity. Trustees are given a thorough induction including provision of information provided by the Charity Commission on the role of a trustee. Training is provided on a personalised basis. 

The Board has overall responsibility for developing and approving strategy, budgets, operational plans and policies.  Implementation and delivery are delegated to the Chief Executive and staff team. 

The Board is supported by the Resources Committee, the members of which are also Board members.  The Resources Committee is responsible for reviewing all finance and operational aspects of the organisation (eg. budgets, policies etc) before recommending them to the full Board for approval. 

The Board has responsibility for setting remuneration of the CEO. In doing so it undertakes market testing and benchmarking against other similar sized organisations and those with growth and change ambitions similar to our own. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 4 to the accounts.  The CEO is also a trustee, and is paid only for the CEO role, the details of which are disclosed in note 4 to the accounts.

The Peel Institute Company 

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 

## Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees 

The trustees (who are also directors of The Peel Institute for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements, in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice 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 adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware 

- The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at Year End was 11 (2023:9). The trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of The Peel Institute Company (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows 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 FRS 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 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 

- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 

## 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’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 Peel Institute Company’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.

Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## The Peel Institute Company 

## 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. 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. 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- The information given in the trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- The trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- Adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- Certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- The directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ annual report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of 

18 



Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## The Peel Institute Company 

company law) are responsible for the preparation of the 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

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. 

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 are set out below. 

## Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- We enquired of management, the finance committee, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; 

   - The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience. 

19 



Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## The Peel Institute Company 

- We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

- We reviewed any reports made to regulators. 

- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. 

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: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
