CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED) (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Reserves necessarily fell during the pandemic as the Foundation worked to deal with the challenges brought on by the pandemic’s financial pressures. They have since risen substantially above the target level due to the sale of the Old Street building.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charitable Company and the Group are exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charitable Company and the Group and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. The significant risks of the COVID-19 pandemic posed an ever-moving challenge, but were handled by the Management Team in line with Government guidelines.
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.
METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
The management of the company and the Group is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and coopted under the terms of the Articles of Association.
The Articles of Association stipulate that there must be a minimum of three Trustees and not more than seven Trustees. All Trustees must be members of the Charitable Company, additional Trustees may be appointed by the existing Trustees at any time, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Trustees. Any Trustee so appointed will hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting and will then be eligible for reelection. One third of the Trustees are to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting.
- The following Trustees had a beneficial interest in contracts with the Charitable Company during the year: • Russell Thompson was engaged as Interim Finance Director on a part-time basis from 28th September 2020 to date

The Charitable Company strives to ensure equal opportunities and diversity in both the employment of staff and Trustee appointments. Selection criteria and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities.
Trustees are given a comprehensive induction when they join the Charitable Company. Recruitment involves interviews with the Chair and existing Trustees. Additionally, individual Trustees may undertake external training in a particular area of their role on the governing body.

CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED) (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES- CANOPI
CANOPI FOUNDATION 1 AND CANOPI FOUNDATION 2
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 and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
Canopi aims to provide affordable and flexible workspace for UK and International Charities and other Social Sector organisations. We support this activity by providing services and events for a like-minded community of people who all want to do good work and who benefit from working in this collaborative environment.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Canopi’s objectives at the end of the last year were:
-
Reshape the business model: Canopi will continue the work to research and reshape the business model so that it is fit-for-purpose for the post-pandemic world that will fully utilise the redeveloped Waterbridge House
-
Develop Waterbridge House: work on the new Waterbridge House will continue, aiming for a fit-forpurpose design, built within budget, that will put the charity in the best possible position to fulfil its charitable objects
-
Maintain financial sustainability: ensure that the Group is run and managed to continue to be sustainable in the short- to medium-term so that the proceeds from the recent sale can be devoted to the redevelopment of Waterbridge House
Challenging business environment
Business continued to be challenging with the ongoing impact of the Pandemic and as people returned to the office it became apparent that there was a changing demand for the quantity and style of office accommodation. Organisations were downsizing and seeking more flexible offerings, with an increased demand for hotdesking, video-conferencing facilities and for hybrid meetings and events.
In response, Canopi carried out the following activities:
Finances
Finances continued to be challenging as the offices struggled to return to pre-pandemic occupancy levels:
-
We sold the Foundation’s East Road building. Receipts from the sale were used to pay off debts and invest in the development of Waterbridge House, the Foundation’s Southwark building
-
Costs have continued to be kept low
-
Some investment has been undertaken in buildings and facilities on a focused basis, with the aim being to enhance our ability to attract new customers
-
We have also invested in rolling out the new Canopi branding, website and associated marketing
Property - Waterbridge House
The development of Waterbridge House continued but faced significant challenges from the poor results of a structural survey and the ongoing pressure on construction costs:
-
Plans were developed to rescue and extend the existing building, but an intrusive engineering structural survey ruled this option out
-
A new plan, largely similar, was created that aimed to reduce costs and risks, compared to an all-new building, by reusing the existing foundations and basement slab
-
Estimated costs rose significantly due to world events, which necessitated a major value-engineering exercise
-
The updated plans will shortly be submitted for planning permission

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Operations
As customers returned to the office post-pandemic, we continued to develop our flexible solutions to meet the new hybrid-working demands:
-
The hotdesk model was further refined
-
A partnership was forged with the Wheelhouse, an organisation based outside of London that focuses on providing office space to small businesses, freelancers and work-from-homers. The intention is for Canopi to provide a minority portion of its serviced office space as a London base for select Wheelhouse customers at a rate above that offered to the Social Sector
-
Investment was undertaken in the Borough offices to raise standards, internally and externally with upgraded heating and ventilation, new kitchens, additional audio-visual facilities and a community garden
Business model
A new business model was developed and approved by the Board. The intention is that Canopi works towards delivering the model, fully achieving its aims once in occupancy of the redeveloped Waterbridge House. In the interim the plan is to run those elements of the model that can be delivered now, using this period of time to trial the new services and hone the offering, ready for the move into the new building.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Governance
As part of an ongoing review of our governance, with the assistance of Solicitors (Shakespeare Martineau) we have applied to change the names of our entities to better align with our new branding. We will shortly be reviewing all of our objects and articles, to ensure they are up to date, using modern templates, and that they better represent our current activities:
-
The Helen Taylor Thompson Foundation becomes Canopi Foundation
-
CAN Mezzanine becomes Canopi Foundation 1
-
Mezzanine 2 becomes Canopi Foundation 2
-
• Education Saves Lives remains unchanged
PLANS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Canopi’s objectives for the coming year are as follows:
-
Maintain financial sustainability : continue to ensure that the Group is run and managed to be sustainable in the short- to medium-term
-
Increase occupancy : to underpin the financial stability we will continue our focus on increasing occupancy to pre-pandemic levels and above
-
Honing of business model : Canopi Foundation 1 will continue the work to research and reshape the business model so that it is fit-for-purpose for the post-pandemic world that will fully utilise the redeveloped Waterbridge House
-
Develop Waterbridge House : work on the new Waterbridge House will continue, aiming for a fit-forpurpose design, built within budget, that will put the charity in the best possible position to fulfil its charitable objects
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES- EDUCATION SAVES LIVES
Education Saves Lives’ principal activities:
-
To educate and train young people and children (“the beneficiaries”) in any part of the world where social and economic conditions put them at risk of exploitation, particularly from prostitution or forced labour, so that they may fulfill their potential and their conditions of life may be improved
-
To promote the protection and preservation of health among the beneficiaries by informing and assisting them to avoid infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
-
To relieve disability among the beneficiaries in any part of the world by the provision of a medical and surgical treatment and by providing education and training to enable them to overcome their disability
Summary of activities undertaken for the public benefit
In carrying out their duties, the Trustees have given due regard to guidance given by the United Kingdom Charity Commission on public benefit.
We seek to meet these objectives through these primary activities:
-
Producing interactive, audio-visual lessons that give the key facts about threats to health and life in an easy to understand, accessible manner
-
Translating the lessons into the local languages of vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, and recording the soundtracks in order to create new lessons which will be available on DVDs, memory-sticks and online
-
Marketing and distribution of DVD, memory-stick and online lessons – wherever possible through partnerships
We produce interactive audio-visual lessons which are published on DVD, memory-stick and offered for online viewing on our website. We currently offer 33 different lesson titles across a range of topics (see below), all of which address different health and life threats, as well as contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each lesson is recorded in local languages so that all communities can access the information, whatever their level of education. These are then made available, free, for use by anyone, from grassroots organisations to government ministries. In addition, over 90% of available lessons are available for streaming from our website.

CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED) (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
A clinical review process to audit and update (where needed) the scripts of our lessons has been established, to ensure that the content is up to date, relevant, and appropriate. Priority has been given to lessons that are most likely to require update because they refer to specific clinical guidance rather than general principles (e.g. guidance on Antiretroviral therapies has changed in the lessons about HIV medicine, as new treatments become available).
HIV/AIDS: HEALTHY LIVING: SAFE LIVING: Caring For Someone With AIDS Basic Hygiene Human Trafficking Having an HIV Test Healthy Eating Taking Care and Keeping Safe Living With HIV Looking After Your Teeth HIV/AIDS Safe Water MOTHER AND BABY: HIV/AIDS: A Guide For Children Breastfeeding How to Take Your HIV Medicine ADDICTION: TBA Skills - Pregnancy (Your HIV Medicine) Dangers of Alcohol When to Have a Baby Dangers of Smoking You and Your New Baby HEALTH: Say No to Glue and Drugs Avoiding Ebola Avoiding Malaria (Malaria) SEX EDUCATION: HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT: Bednets Can Save Lives Becoming a Man Making Compost Cholera Becoming a Woman Planting Trees is Good Coronavirus Safer Sex For Teenagers Beware of Landmines Diarrhoea High Blood Pressure Immunisation
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of main achievements
As countries and communities emerged from Coronavirus lockdowns and began to deal with backlogs and delays in their health provision, demand for the lessons rose. As well as small, locally-led organisations, we were in contact with larger networks and even regional health departments, with the result that a total of 17,155 DVDs were sent out in the reporting period. Users are not charged for the DVDs they receive from us.
We know that on average our DVDs are viewed by 200 people in their lifetime, so we can project that around three and a half million viewings were achieved in the reporting period. This works out at a cost of less than 3 pence (£0.03) per viewing across all our users.
The groups that use our lessons are addressing a wide spectrum of needs across a huge geographical area. The usual model is for the lessons to be used in the context of an existing project, which will be addressing one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals, but sometimes partners are designing projects specifically to incorporate our lessons because they see the value and impact that these lessons add to the local community.
During the period, we also began two targeted projects in India and Rwanda with the aim of testing a new delivery model for lessons on memory-stick and of achieving larger distribution numbers with a state-wide rollout in Tamil Nadu. This work will continue into the next period, during which monitoring visits will be carried out. In the early phase of the projects, during the reporting period, nearly 130,000 confirmed viewings had been recorded across multiple settings.
PLANS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Education Saves Lives’ objectives for the coming year are:
-
Continue to increase distribution : we will continue to identify and engage with new partner groups and users, to ensure maximum reach of the lessons
-
Expand the lesson review project : ensure that every lesson we offer is up to date, relevant and appropriate
-
Planning for root and branch review : ensuring that the delivery method, as well as content, remains fit for purpose in the future. Improving access to technology may allow us, or even require us, to modify the basic template of our lessons; planning for this now will mean we can stay agile

TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Trustees (who are also directors of Canopi Foundation 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 the Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charitable Group 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED)
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED)
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Canopi Foundation (Formerly The Helen Taylor Thompson Foundation Limited) (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the group Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the group Consolidated Balance Sheet, the company Balance Sheet, the group Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
Give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent Charitable Company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group's 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; and
-
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 group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charity’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.
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the 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 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.

CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED) (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED)
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
The information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
-
Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the Charitable Company for the purposes of 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent 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
We have been appointed as Auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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, is detailed below.
EXPLANATION AS TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD
During the audit we identify and assess the risk of material misstatements of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud and error; and to respond appropriately to those risks.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, UK GAAP, UK corporation tax laws and the Data Protection Act.

CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED) (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED)
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charity are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and made enquiries to the management of known or suspected instances of fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations.
-
We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes (where possible), other relevant meeting minutes and review of correspondence with regulatory bodies and also obtained management representations regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the audit team included:
-
Identifying and assessing the controls, management has in place to prevent and detect fraud, including the existence of supervisory controls;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates and judgements (in particular in relation to depreciation and accruals);
-
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusions. There is always the unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected despite the audit being properly performed in accordance with UK Auditing standards.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://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 charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s Trustees 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 charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CANOPI FOUNDATION (FORMERLY THE HELEN TAYLOR THOMPSON FOUNDATION LIMITED) (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Canopi Foundation (Formerly The Helen Taylor Thompson Foundation Limited) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
1.2 COMPANY STATUS
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
1.3 GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have tested their cash flow analysis to take into account the impact on the entity of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
1.4 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.5 INCOME
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.6 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.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.
1.7 CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
Charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
1.8 GOVERNANCE COSTS
Governance costs comprise those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and strategic requirements of the charity and the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
1.9 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The financial statements of the parent and the subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line by line basis. The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Canopi Foundation (Formerly The Helen Taylor Thompson Foundation Limited) and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').
The company has taken advantage of the exemption contained within section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Income and Expenditure Account.
1.10 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Excluding computers, all assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Improvements to property - Over the term of the lease - Plant and machinery 10% Straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost - Computer equipment 10% and 25% straight line

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.11 FREEHOLD AND LEASEHOLD PROPERTIES
As permitted under FRS102, a final "deathbed" valuation was made, and the value assigned to these properties were deemed to be their cost. The charity has opted to a policy of not revaluing its tangible fixed assets. Additions in subsequent years are stated at cost.
Freehold buildings are not depreciated. Their value and condition are reviewed annually by the Trustees, who are satisfied that their residual value is not materially less than its book value.
1.12 INTEREST RECEIVABLE
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
1.13 OPERATING LEASES
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.14 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.15 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.16 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
1.17 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.18 TAXATION
Canopi Foundation (Formerly The Helen Taylor Thompson Foundation Limited) and its subsidiaries are all registered charities and have no liability to corporation tax on their charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.19 PENSIONS
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
1.20 SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include
-
assessing the useful economic lives attributed to tangible fixed assets used to determine the annual depreciation charge, and
-
the provision required for any bad or doubtful debts in respect of licence fees receivable.
