## **Structure, governance and management**
The Centre for Specialist Educational Assistance Limited is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 24 July 1996 as a company and the company number is 3228893. It was registered as a charity on 30 June 2000 with a charity number 1081366.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Trust Deed and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.
There is no chief executive officer. The day-to-day affairs are undertaken by Mr S Grant on behalf of the trustees. All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees and all the trustees give of their time freely. The trustees are unpaid, and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts. The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity’s employees are the sole domain of the trustees.
There are no policies for the induction or training of new trustees.
## **Risk review**
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.
The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective grant making or direct charitable activity. These risks are managed by the trustees researching potential beneficiaries before granting donations or paying out for direct charitable activity.
Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all grants.

## **Year ended 5 April 2025**
The charity is particularly keen to enable mainstream service providers to successfully engage with what is often perceived as a particularly inaccessible community. It has, therefore, an impressive record of effectively partnering mainstream bodies including Local Authorities, PCT's and national regulatory bodies e.g. The Care Quality Commission, The Mental Health Commission in the creation of community initiatives meeting service provision gaps.
The trustees consider they have met the public benefit test and outline these achievements below.
The trustees measure the success of achieving the stated aims by the number and value of grants paid out for each object. The grants paid out in the year are detailed in the notes to the accounts and the trustees consider they have met their aims successfully this year.
The trustees consider the shorter-term aims to be similar to the longer term aims and assess the achievement of the charity in the same way.
The application of the funds by way of grants is to either institutions or individuals.
## **Strategic report**
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity received £159,113 (2024: £86,079) in donations and grants during the year and £37,641 (2024: £36,616) was paid out directly for tutors and educational consultants, £57,263 (2024: £12,115) was paid out by way of grants to further the objects of the charity and £40,449 (2024: £33,968) was for other direct charitable expenditure including apportioned rent as well as support costs.
The trustees consider that the above expenditure is in line with the objects of the charity.
The charity has support costs that comprise, insurance, professional fees, sundry office costs and the apportioned salary costs of an administrator.
Grants over £1,000 made during the year to institutions are as detailed in the accounts.
There were no material fundraising costs during the year.
Related party transactions in the reporting period are as disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
The split between restricted and unrestricted funds is as disclosed on the face of the SOFA.
There was an overall net income and net movement in funds for the year amounting to £23,760 (2024: £3,380) of which £22,457 (2024: £3,391) relates to the restricted fund and £1,303 (2024: (£10)) relates to the unrestricted fund.

## **Financial review**
The trustees are delighted to have made many valuable contributions to the community and hope to be able to do so for many years to come.
## **Reserves policy**
The unrestricted fund represents the unrestricted and restricted funds arising from past operating results.
The trustees are satisfied that the balance of the funds is acceptable level of reserves given the nature of revenue receipts against grants payable. The trustees intend to retain a small level of unrestricted reserves.
The free reserves, represented by the net current assets of the charity amounted to £123,533 (2024: £99,757) of which £122,188 (2024: £99,738) is restricted, and £1,345 (2024: £19) is unrestricted.
Total funds held by the charity at the year-end were £123,563 (2024: £99,803). Of these £122,218 (2024: £99,761) was restricted and £1,345 (2024: £42) unrestricted.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Centre for Specialist Educational Assistance Limited**
## **Year ended 5 April 2025**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Centre for Specialist Educational Assistance Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 5 April 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 charity’s accounts as 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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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).

## **Year ended 5 April 2025**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable, and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable, and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Tangible assets**
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 5 April 2025**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Tangible assets** _**(continued)**_
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment - 33% reducing balance
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
## **Financial instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Financial instruments** _**(continued)**_
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
## **4. Limited by guarantee**
The Centre for Specialist Educational Assistance Limited is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
