LONDON CORINTHIAN TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS REPORT)
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and accounts of the Trust.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the Trust’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the London Corinthian Trust ('the Trust') are, in summary, to:-
I. provide water sports facilities in Hammersmith in the interests of social welfare; II. preserve buildings of heritage value in Hammersmith for the benefit of the nation at large; and III.undertake any other charitable purpose.
The Trust owns Linden House, a Grade II listed building of beauty and historical interest situated on the riverside in Hammersmith. It carries out its purposes for the public benefit by maintaining and operating Linden House as a water sports centre.
The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance on Public Benefit published by the Charity Commission in September 2013 when exercising any powers or undertaking any duties to which that guidance is relevant.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trust provides water sports facilities at an affordable cost to a sailing club and a rowing club by means of licenses. The yearly access charge for 2021/22 was set at £115 per full club member equivalent. Concessions were given for various groups including, for example, the free provision of facilities for students and under 23s.
The London Corinthian Sailing Club was established in 1894 and has around 450 members. The Club provides sailing throughout the year, with dinghy sailing on the Thames at Hammersmith and offshore sailing on the Solent and further afield. The dinghy programme includes races and cruises most weekends and mid-week in the Summer. Dinghy sailors also participate in training and events away from the Thames, including weekends on the South Coast. The Offshore programme covers cruising, racing and training, members participate in established regattas and events including Cowes Week, Round the Island Race and the Fastnet Race. The Club also has an extensive cruising programme and runs several overseas trips each year. The Club is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) training centre and provides an extensive range of RYA and non RYA training for dinghies, offshore and powerboats. To make the offshore programme more accessible to members, the Club has established a long term charter arrangement of a yacht for racing, training and cruising.
Sons of the Thames Rowing Club ('Sons') is a registered Community Amateur Sports Club. It offers affordable rowing to men and women of all ages, both competitive and recreational. In the year ending 30 September 2022 the committee sorted out boat fleet and coaching structure for a return to normality in the 2021/22 season. This resulted in crews competing in both local and international rowing regattas.
Both Clubs also have an active social schedule with Linden House providing a superb venue for club nights, social events and parties throughout the year.
London Corinthian Services Ltd, the Trust's trading subsidiary, operates a bar for the sports club members and raises funds for the Trust through provision of room hire and catering to external customers. Services was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic but has recovered well during 21/22 with a bounce back in wedding and other functions, allowing donations to the Trust to return to a normal level in the year to September 2022. The return to normality has allowed the Trust to resume its strategy of maintenance & modernisation of the Linden House Facility. Major projects have included overdue maintenance & repairs to the exterior of Linden House, exterior boatyard gates, security improvements and redecoration and refurbishment of the bar and entrance hall areas.

LONDON CORINTHIAN TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued)
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The Trust will continue to deliver on its objectives by constantly looking for ways to improve the facilities and participation in water sports in Hammersmith and by executing a planned programme of maintenance to Linden House to ensure its continuing preservation.
As part of the Trust’s ongoing review, the Trust will be refurbishing the basement changing room areas for women, as well as remediating sewers and drainage of the building and other infrastructure to allow for planned expansion in membership of the clubs. The Trust is also exploring plans for the modernisation of the commercial kitchen and bar area, subject to continuing improvement in profit generation from Services and works will not be carried out until the necessary finance is available.
The Trust continues to support London Corinthian Services Ltd as they evolve in a changing market.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trustees consider the financial results for the year, which are summarised on page 6, to be good given the challenging financial circumstances in year. The Trust had taken advantage of long term fixed rates for it utilities and was not therefore exposed to increases in costs over the last year. The Trust worked closely with Services to support its costs, accessing local council bounce back loans to support the return to normality post pandemic.
During the year the improvement in Services profitability allowed the Trust to increase significantly its spend on repairs & maintenance. The repairs required to the rear faced of Linden House which have been on hold through the pandemic period, were executed at a cost of £33,150. Other major maintenance projects included redecoration of the Commodores room, bar and entrance hallway, plus maintenance of the Fire & Alarm systems. Details are included in Note 6 to the financial statements.
Capital spend during the year was limited to £27,171 (FY21 £48,885) due to the significant costs of repairs & maintenance during the year. Capital projects included the refurbishment and upgrade of the Linden House entrance hallway including upgrades to the fire doors within the building (£19,261), replacement of kitchen equipment (£4,542), air conditioning & furniture purchases (£2,192) and IT equipment (£1,176). Details are included in Note 11 to the financial statements.
The Trust's general fund target, i.e. the unrestricted and readily realisable financial reserves, remains unchanged. This target is the total of:-
-
I. nine months' operational and governance costs (excluding repairs & maintenance and depreciation);
-
II. six months' of cash expenditure on repairs, maintenance and additions to fixed assets averaged over a five year period; and
-
III a sinking fund (for large long-cycle replacement items and investment in new facilities) growing over time to £30,000.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trust is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The liability of its members is limited to £1 each. The Trustees are the directors of the charitable company.
The Trust has a wholly owned trading subsidiary, London Corinthian Services Ltd ('Services'). Services occupies part of the Trust's freehold property under license and carries out commercial activities including the hire of rooms and provision of bar and catering. It pays an arms length occupational license fee to the Trust, and, in addition, gifts its net profits to the Trust. The Services Board comprises directors nominated by the Trust and the clubs and, if considered appropriate, approved by the Trustees. The Services Board is responsible for direction and oversight of all activities of Services in compliance with relevant regulations.
The Services company employs a full-time manager to manage the day to day operations of the Trust and its trading subsidiary, including the recruitment and oversight of staff and contractors.
The Trust has established a group of volunteers to manage repairs and maintenance of Linden House, the adjoining leasehold property and the boating facilities. They are responsible for management of all propertyrelated work in compliance with relevant regulations.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued)
The Trustees establish the strategy through which the Trust achieves its charitable objectives. They approve the Trust's annual budget, review and approve key appointments and strategic decisions made by the Services Board, and review and approve key decisions of the Facilities Committee. They bear ultimate responsibility for the health and safety of staff and visitors to Linden House, except in relation to the clubs' sports activities.
The Trustees are ultimately responsible for the identification of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, the assessment of those risks and the establishment of control procedures to mitigate them. The Facilities Committee provides expert assistance on the property-related risks. The Services Board provides insight into the commercial risks. The manager operates the majority of the control procedures. The Trustees review the major risks and controls at least yearly. They consider health and safety incidents and newly identified hazards (if any) at each regular meeting. They arrange insurance cover for the Trust and Services, including buildings all risks, employer liability and public liability.
APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
New Trustees are usually recruited from the membership of the charity by e-mail advertisement or word of mouth. At least three but no more than twelve of the Trustees must be elected at an annual general meeting; up to five more may be co-opted. Retirement procedures ensure a minimum turnover of Trustees of approximately one-third from one annual general meeting ('AGM') to the next.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
a) General information and basis of preparation
London Corinthian Trust ('the Trust') is incorporated as a private company limited by guarantee in England and Wales and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. In the event of the Trust being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Trust. The address of the registered office is given in the Trust information on page 1. The nature of the Trust’s operations and principal activities are given on page 2 of the Trustees' report.
The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The activities of the subsidiary company have not been been consolidated as the Trust has taken advantage of the exemptions available to it under the Companies Act and under the Charities SORP (FRS 102) as a small group.
The Trust accounts do not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charity.
The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The accounts are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Trust and rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these accounts are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
b) Income
Income from donations and grants is recognised when the Trust is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal offer is made in writing, unless the grant contains terms and conditions outside of the Trust's control which must be met before the Trust is entitled to the funds.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution.
Income from charitable activities is made up of capitation fees receivable from the clubs which occupy the Trust's freehold property under licence. Income is recognised when receivable.
Income from other trading activities are made up of income from the subsidiary company to generate funds for the charitable objects. Occupational licence fees are recognised when receivable and donations from the subsidiary company are recognied when they are received.
Income from investments is made up of rental income and bank interest. Bank interest is recognised when receivable and rental income is recognised over the period to which it relates.
No amount is included in the accounts for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ report.
c) Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Any attributable irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense and where identifable against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants payable are recognised when the grant has been formally approved by the Trustees and confirmed to the grantee.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
d) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Trust and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the accounts.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Trust. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or grantee or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the accounts. Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 15.
e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended and where applicable any attributable irrecoverable VAT.
All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and valued at historic cost.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold buildings 2% straight line basis Freehold building improvements 5% straight line basis Fixtures and fittings 5%, 10%, 20% or 25% straight line basis
f) Investment
Investment in the subsidiary is measured at cost less impairment.
g) Debtors
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts.
h) Cash at bank
Cash at bank includes cash held in current accounts and instant access deposit accounts.
i) Creditors
Creditors are recognised when a present legal or constructive obilgation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event. It is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obigation and can be estimated reliably.
All creditors are initially recognised at a transaction price. Accruals are subseqently measured at the settlement amount.
j) Tax
The Trust is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and, therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
k) Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these accounts. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
