The Charity currently does not have a policy on level of reserves Since the Sole Trustee 1$ the London
Borough of Tower H￿lets. which meet$ in fjjll the Charirfs net eKpendi¢ure. so the Chariry'$ fiJndM
IS 5ecwed. The Trnst Charity Board rherefore has no¢ set up any financial reserves ro procecr against any
unforeseen AuC￿ariOnS in income or expenditure.
The UK Government imposed coronavints {Covid-1911(*kdown measures in ETLgland on 26 March 2020
nd subsequently revised and extended them. As a result. many workers wele furloughed and many
venues, facilities and amenities were closed. After thÉs lotkdown was lifted, various other restrietion5
were in plote throughout 2020 and a second lockdown was implerneEhted from the 5 November 2020.
Thi$ had a decrimental effecttothe Trusts fiThantial position during the 2020121 finaneial yeaT. However,
the London Boiough of Tower Hamlets has contributed £35XI,000 of cO￿d relief funding to the Chariry
to mitigate against the impacts of co￿a-19 in 2020121 to ensure that at the reporting date and moving
forward the Charity would be able to continue as a going concern.
The key risks to the Chariry include financial. reputational and P￿b]IC safery risks.
The Park managernent tearn, on behalf OF the Charity, acts to create a 5U5tainable income stream to
support the maintenance oFthe park and its infr2strneture.
The Green Bridge rentJ units provide a $ignifi¢an¢ contyibuuon io the ChaTiry'S income $rr¢am.
In relation to this propeity rental income stream we have identified the following risk$-.
Non-payment of rentlarrears
Page 24

Tenants vacatinglserving Notice
Breaehes of leases
To mitigate against the above rtsks a competent lettings agent, appointed by the Counckl, manages the
tenancy arrangenents for the Green Bridge rental units to ensure best value And good management of
tenants.
The lettings agent takes a proactive approach LO monitoring rental income aELd take early intervention
if there are any issues identthed with a tenant. If required, the Council can undertake debt iecovery
action ensuring tent is received and arrears are managed.
Historically the rental units have been ￿llY occupied with a low rurnover of teThants. Some of the units
have been occupied by the same tenants for over ten years and durin8 the pandemie only one tenant
C￿ed to trade, and they easily assigned their lease. showing the resilience of the location. The location
is attractive to a wide range of businesse5 due to its proximiry to Mile End tube s¢atRon, a nearby
universiry and TesideELtial areas that prO￿de a high level oFFDDtEall.
With a large number of the tenants benefitting from Security of Tenure under the Landbrd and Tenant
Aet 1954. they would have to serve notice on the knidlord to leave. As a tesult. there will be at least a
3-month nouce period, which will assist in the rnarketing of the unit and would hoPe￿IlY miiigate the
risk of a void period and loss of income. In the event of a unit being vac&nt for a perkod of tirne the
Chasiry could utilise the c¢)urtcit's Meanwhile Use programme to temporzrily occupy a vacant unit with
a'pop-up, shop. thereby maintaini￿8 the vitality of the location. It a150 has the I￿paCt of maiThtaining
occttpation, ana therefore mitigates void costs. ?s well a5 the risk of squatter5.
Leases are monitored by the letting agent and the Park managemenr ce&m with support from the
CountÈl's enforcement and legal tearn5 if Tequired. This approach enables any bTeache5 or compliancy
issues to be resolved as quickly 8$ possible.
tn addition to rental income. the Charity aho relies on income generated through the veTrue hire oFthe
nd Ecology Pavilions. The Park management team piomotes and manage$ b(M)kings for the
pavilions, which are now well-es¢ablished venue5 for weddings. private, commercial and COTporate
events that generate income. ImprovemeThts include setting up an Instagra7n aCCo￿￿t, which has helped
ro increase the number of enquirie5 and bookings. Although there are peak periods for hirers (spring to
autiimnl, the Park managemenE team continue to diversity the range of clkents and adapt to changing
market considerations.
The Park ￿anageMe1}t team operates a comprehensive inspection and repair regirne for the Chariry's
land and facilities. In addition, the Chariry reinvests some of rhe income generated through hires to
upgrade facilities and equiprnent to ensure its open Spaces and buildings are safe and welco]ning places
for the public and commeraal Èenants and venue hirers.
In addition, the council's Facilities Management teamunderiake regular preven¢&tive maintenance and
su￿tY$. This oveTall approach of maintaining and iELvestiELg reduces the risk of 5Tgnificani
buildinglFaciliry failures that could lead ro larger and unplanned for repairs and/or replacernent costs.
Page 25

As outlined above, incozne from tenancie5 and hires is utilised to undertake repairs and maintenance of
the Charity's a55ets. This approach enables the Charity to ensure Health and Safety legislarion is
complied with and that the buildEngs remain in 8 good state of repakr. As the venues are hired out
regularly, it is ktnportant both operationally and reP￿tation￿lly that the buildings are well maintained.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International St2nd3rds on Auditing IUKI IISAS (UKI) and

in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and w¢ have fulfilled our olher ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit eviden￿ we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Concluslons relating to golng concern
In audiling the financial slalements, we have con¢luded that the Iw$tees' u$8 of tha going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements Is appropriate.
Basèd on the work WÈ havè pèrformed, we have not identifted any material uncertainties relating Its events

the financial statemènts are not in Éqreement with the accountino ¥ecords,' or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Respon$ibilitie¥ of trustees
As explained more fully iri the Statement of TTuslees' Responsibilities, the Iru5tees are responsible for the
preparalion of the accounts and for being satisfied Ihat they give a true and lair view, and for such intemal
control as the directors delermine is ne¢essary to enable Ihe preparation ol accounts Ihat are free from
malerial rnisstatemènt, whethar duè Its fraud or error.
In preparing the accoun15. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's 8bility loi continue as
going concern, disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going concem and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo cease operations. or have no realistic altemalive but lo do
so.
Auditoes te$pon$ibilities for the audit of the financial ¥latemgnts
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in #¢¢ordance
with the and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives arè to obtain reasonable assuraneè about whèthèr the financial statements as a whole aré
free Irom material tfi5slalemenl. whether due to fraud or ery¢r. and lo Issue an audilorfs ieport that includes
ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit cOnd￿ted
in a￿rdance wilh ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exi51s. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are ctsnsidered malerial if, individually or in the ag9regaÉe. they could reasonably
be expected lo influence the economiB ￿e￿510n5 of users taken on the basis ol these financial slalemenls.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instarrks of nOn-￿mpli3￿Ce with laws and regulaltons. We design
pr¢cÈdures in line with our responsibilities, oullined abtrve, to deteci material misstatements in rèspect of
irregularities, including fraud. Tha extènt to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
induding fraud, is detailed belt)W.
tection of fraud and breaches of regulations
To identify risks of material rnisstatement due to fraud, we considered events o¥ conditions that could indicate
an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to do so. Our approach included..
using analylic81 procedute5 10 identify unusual relationships.,
reading rninules of Irustee meetings.,
dis¢ussing ¢harity policies and procedures on Iraud detection and prevention with Iwstees, and
enquiiing about any knowledge of actual, alleged or suspected fraud.
We ¢orrmunicaled identiffied fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications ol fraud
throughout th8 audit.
To identify risks ol malerlal misslalemenl due to non-compl1an￿ with laws and regulations, our approa¢h
was a5 follow5..
We identified areas of laws and wulalions that could reasgnably be expected to have a material
effect on the financial statements from our general charity experience. and through di￿u$s1o￿ with
the Iruslees and other management las requi￿￿ by auditing standards), and di$wssed with the
Iruslees and oiher management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and
regulations"
We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financ481 statements
reporting framework IFRS 102 and the Charities Acl 20111 and the relevant tax comp1ian¢e
regulations:
We conSide￿d the nature of the industry. the control environmet)l and charily's performance.
14
Page 30

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout ourleam and Temain$d alert to any indications
of non-compliance throughout the audit.
8ased on thi$ understanding we desig11od our audit PToTrdures lo identify non-compliance with such laws
and regulatlDns. Where the risk was considered lo be higher, we performed audit procedures lo address
èa¢h identifièd fraud risk. We also performed procedures to address the risk of management override of
controls and the risk ol fraudulent revenue recognition. in particular the risks that revenue is recorded in the
wrong period and that manayement may be in a position lo make inapprtspriale accounting entries. Our
procedures included.. testing rnanu81 journals.. reviewing the financial slaleFnenl disclosures and lesling to
supportlll9 do¢um¢nlalion,' perforrning 8n8lylical procedures., and enquiries of tranagement, and were
designed to prO￿rte reasonable assurance that the finandal Statements were free frorn fraud or èrror.
Owing to the inherent limitation$ of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected
some material misstalements in the financial stalements. even though we have properly planned and
performed our audil in accordance with auditin9 Standards. For example, the further removed non-
con7plianTr wilh laws and regu181itsns isfrom the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.
the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing slandafds would identify it. The risk is
so greater regarding non.deteclion of fraud ialh¢r than error. as fraud rnay involvè intentional concealment,
forgery, Coll￿S1on, omission or misrepresenlalion. Our audil Pfocedures are designed lo delect material
rnisslalemenl. We aro nol responsible lor preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo deled non-
compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further desuiplion of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Cguncil's website at..
https.'IlWv￿.trC.0fg.uk/aUdI(orsresp0￿sItsIIilIe5. This description forms part of our 8udilofs report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the f8¢1 that the oharity has prepared financial statements in accordance wrth
'A¢¢ounling and Reporting by Charities.. Slalernenl of Recommended Practice applicable to charthes
