## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
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 2025. 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 2025 there were five members.
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were:
K King R A Crowther J Can (Chair of Trustees) M Palmer - resigned 27 August 2025 D Mendez - resigned 27 August 2025
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.
Its adjacent activities are to provide the enabling infrastructure to support the core outputs.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## _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 over 200 workshops were taught during the period with workshops now in demand outside of school day, including during the holidays and weekend.
## _Forest School:_
With support from the Portal Trust and local volunteers, we have continued to run 105 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.
We have found Forest School sessions to be particularly valuable to children in Alternative Provision. The activities, setting and pace of Forest School helps to develop listening skills, risk-taking and exploration and builds self-confidence.
## _Community Partnership:_
The Soanes Centre is a valuable community asset. Having taken time to upgrade and improve the use of spaces in order to develop and deliver education activities with grass roots groups and engage with local partners.
We have continued to develop partnerships with local universities, cultural institutions and residents. This has included their support in developing ideas for more inclusive and accessible education practices, supporting popup events that deliver education outcomes e.g. Book swap afternoons, land and social justice workshops as well as strategic support for the organisation to plan long term and diversify its income.
## _Strategic Activities:_
Setpoint London and East and the Soanes Centre continues to be a vital infrastructure for the community. It’s 30 year history of service means we are engaged in many research initiatives ranging from architectural interest due to the design of the purpose built education building, climate justice, youth education, community wealth building and environmental justice.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **Financial Review**
## _Financial outlook_
Setpoint London East has continued to receive consistent income from our partner schools over the last period. We hope to see an increase in income as schools choose to access more workshops during the school holidays.
Grant income totalling £7,850 was received in this period. The grant was awarded from the Portal Trust in July 2025 (£7,850) to support the running of the Forest School.
The year to 30 September 2025 ended with a deficit of £1,958 (2024: deficit of £24,701). Funds were carried forward in surplus of £2,051 (of which unrestricted funds showed a deficit of £12,796) which was below the charities target for the year. We will continue to seek support from grants to provide comfort that we have sufficient funds in line with our reserves policy. We have created a new funding strategy which will support with increasing donations.
## **Strategic Review**
Setpoint London East in collaboration with other organisations across London has campaigned to have leases renewed, this has finally led to positive and ongoing conversations with the council.
We have also delivered community engagement activities with the community, schools and other organisations to understand how they would like to utilise the building. This has fed into a wider 30 year vision document for Setpoint London East. This document details how we plan to expand our activities as an education charity, bring in long term grant funding and create a diverse revenue model through partnerships with organisations like UCL, architecture labs, Kin Structures and other creative organisations.
We have also started a grant fundraising drive which has led to progressing strategic partnerships with two funders.
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:
- Continually reviewing staffing arrangements to maximise the impact we have in the local area.
- Exploring partnerships with other providers to maximise use of space and generate additional income for cross-subsidy of workshops.
- Developing more collaborative project programmes as part of larger bids with a larger lead organisation.
## **Reserves Policy**
As we continue to review our revenue model, we will look to revise our reserves policy as our income diversification takes effect. This work is ongoing and will be reviewed again during the coming year.

## **SETPOINT LONDON EAST**
## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
At the end of this financial year Setpoint holds no reserves, however we have made efforts to reduce our deficit and work towards our reserves targets. Our plans and activities to help raise funds for this pot continues. This involves:
- a series of fundraising drives and activities led by our supporters and friends who will continue to hold events to raise funds for the charity.
- We have put in applications to collaborative funding pots for joint projects.
- We can now expand our evening projects and we will be able to increase our unrestricted income and add to our reserves.
We hope to move towards 6 months of reserves within the next 12-24 months.
Unrestricted funds are in deficit primarily through the reduction in income from room bookings and paid for workshops we usually deliver. This has been due to the local council not having capacity to review, progress or finalise our lease for the Soanes Centre during the financial year. This would give us the opportunity to book activities ahead across the year.
## **Going Concern**
Although the past few years have been challenging for Setpoint London East, the organisation is steadily improving its financial sustainability. Discussions with potential funders in recent months have been positive, and the charity has secured two core funding grants over a two-year period. This will enable an increase in internal capacity and service delivery.
Ongoing discussions with the Council and the Trustees have also been constructive, with a commitment from the Council to work with Setpoint towards securing the charity's use of the Soanes Centre building. The Trustees are optimistic that these discussions will conclude positively, enabling the charity to secure the longer-term strategic funding required to meet its core costs and deliver its activities.
A business plan and strategic framework are being developed on this basis. Accordingly, having considered the financial outlook and made appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
However, there remain plausible scenarios in which sufficient future funding may not be secured. These circumstances may represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be required if the charity were unable to continue operating on this basis.
## **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. Like many organisations in the borough there are delays and uncertainty about future leases of council owned buildings. We are working as a coalition of organisations to address these risks and liaise with the council to demonstrate the immense social impact and public benefit these assets contribute to neighbourhoods.
The trustees have also 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 partners including other educational institutions are in the pipeline.

## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **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 24 June 2026 and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**
## **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 2025.
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 have identified a matter of concern in my report because I have concerns regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. This has been disclosed in the charity's notes to the financial statements.
I draw attention to Note 2.2 in the financial statements, which highlights that the charity incurred a net loss of £1,958 during the year ended 30 September 2025 and, as of that date, the charity has net liabilities of £2,051, which includes a net deficit in restricted funds of £12,796. As stated in Note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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.

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants, donations and other income are credited to the profit and loss account for the accounting period to which they relate or in which the donor intends them to be utilised. Income received in advance of the accounting period to which it relates is carried forward as a creditor of the company until it is due to be credited to the profit and loss.
## **2.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the cost of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Charitable activities and governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
## **2.5 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|Plant and machinery|-|25%|
|---|---|---|
|Office equipment|-|25%|
|Computer equipment|-|25%|
