TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of Setpoint London East Limited (the charity) for the year ended 30 September 2023. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition effective 1 January 2019).
This is a directors' report required by s417 of the Companies Act 2006 and all trustees are directors. The trustees' report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Structure, governance and management
During the year the constitution of the company remained unchanged and it continued to operate as a charitable company limited by guarantee without share capital. At 30 September 2023 there were seven members.

P G R A Boorman (Chair of Trustees) - resigned 26 February 2024 K King R A Crowther J Branthomme - resigned 12 March 2024 C Glen - resigned 9 October 2023 H K L Gray - resigned 3 June 2024 A Law - resigned 3 June 2024
None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
Objectives and Activities
The charity’s objectives are, “To advance public education within science, technology and the environment for young people of statutory school age in the East London Boroughs and surrounding areas”.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Activities, achievements and performance
Setpoint London East is a charitable organisation working with schools to promote interest and experiential learning in science and nature topics. Its main activities are aimed at primary school-aged children, providing science workshops onsite at the Soanes Centre and in the surrounding Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park and exploiting the woodland Cemetery Park as a base for Forest School sessions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
Science and nature workshops :
The Park offers a wealth of natural resources that help bring science to life for groups of children from local schools. There are two ponds for pond dipping next to our building, and various sites within the Park which suit different workshop topics. Since being de-consecrated in 1996, the site has returned to nature, offering a hugely bio-diverse space and designated a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation.
There are more than 60 primary schools in the Borough, many of which do not have green outdoor space, and our workshops are a valued addition to their teaching resources. Schools are charged a fee for each workshop equating to around 40% of the cost of delivery – the shortfall being covered by grant income, donations and occasional hiring of space within the Soanes Centre.
Tower Hamlets schools are charged a reduced rate for workshops in return for ‘in kind’ support from Tower Hamlets Council through our rent free use of the Soanes Centre. The popularity of our workshops – reportedly the only out-of-classroom experience that many local schools can afford. A total of 278 workshops were taught during the period.
Forest School :
We have run Forest School sessions throughout the school year for two groups of children – a senior school group, who come for a full day session once a week, and a smaller primary school group, who attend for a half day every week.
Teacher and pupil feedback confirms the value of these sessions and we will be seeking dedicated funding to support this activity in the future, including purchasing additional equipment.
Community Partnership :
During the previous years there was a growing desire in the local area for access to spaces like ours where grass roots groups could meet and for community-led arts or cultural activities to centre themselves. The Soanes Centre where we operate had been under-used for several years, and we realised that it offered a perfect solution to this need.
In response to this, we entered into a partnership with Kin Structures through an artist residency which has been instrumental for us in exploring the community need, and understanding how the Soanes Centre itself can - and should - develop. Kin Structures brought expertise and their work has helped to safeguard the space and ensure it can continue being a vital and cherished community resource for future generations.
Their work has been compelling and inspiring to the local community - it has also helped attract new people to the centre, using art and learning programmes which are sensitive to context and responsive to relationships you have been building with the local community.
At the end of the initial 6 month residency, we agreed to a 2 year partnership across 2024 and 2025.
Financial Review
Performance against budget (figures rounded):
Income was improved from the previous period. No grant income was received in this period, except that the unspent amount from the Tower Hill Trust, awarded last year, has been rolled forward. The year to 30 September ended with an operating surplus of £3,779, however this is partly due to grants secured during the year being paid in the next period (see Financial outlook).
Page 3
SETPOINT LONDON EAST
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
Funds carried forward (£24,608) represent around 5 months’ operating costs, but grants already pledged provide comfort that we have sufficient funds in line with our reserves policy.
Financial outlook :
A grant from the Portal Trust was awarded in October 2022 (£5,250) with payments due in October 2023 (£7,850) and October 2024 (£7,850) – all subject to satisfactory progress reports.
Grants from The Foyle Foundation (£5,000) and Canary Wharf Group (£5,000) supporting core costs were awarded during the year, allowing workshop fees for the 2022/23 academic year to remain subsidised for schools within Tower Hamlets.
Strategic Review
The funding landscape remains highly competitive, and Trustees are keen to reduce the charity’s dependence on grants by increasing the range of income generating activities over the coming years. This includes:
-
Reviewing staffing arrangements and responsibilities
-
Exploring partnerships with other providers to maximise use of space and generate additional income for
-
. cross-subsidy of workshops
-
Bringing the small classroom (‘training room’) up to standard for use as a teaching or meeting space.
Reserves Policy
The reserves policy as agreed by the Board was revised in the year following professional advice, with the Charity now required to hold sufficient funds for 6 months of operational costs. Free reserves held at year end fell below this target and Trustees are looking at ways to build the free reserves so the policy can be met in future years.
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Principal Risks & Uncertainties
For the charity to continue operation and meet its objectives it will be essential to secure additional grant funding and additional sources of income. The trustees have drawn up plans which include new grant applications and other revenue earning activities such as Forest Schools and learning for early years children.
Opportunities for collaboration with Kin Structures a CIC we have worked with over the past year continues to be developed and we look forward to further collaboration and revenue earning opportunities. For our internal workshop programme the charges made have been progressively increased since they were first introduced in 2012. They have now reached the limit of what schools can afford, but they still cover only a percentage of our costs. Similarly reducing our overheads and running costs have been cut to a minimum and leaves no scope for further reduction.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The Trustees (who are also directors of Setpoint London East for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 of the Charities SORP;
• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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 preparing this report, the trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report, incorporating the strategic report, was approved by the Trustees on 26 June 2024 and signed on their behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Setpoint London East ('the Company')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2023.
This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
