London School of Osteopathy For the year ended 31 August 2024 Trustees, report Public benefit The outpatient teaching dinic provides low cost and subsidised osteopathic healthcare to the local community. Pat'ents confim that for many recipients, rf the LSO dinic were not present. there would be no provision for musculo-skeletal health needs, particularfy those with complex or chronic problems. The clinic runs at a loss, and is subsidised by sludent fees. This is appropriate as the teaching clinic forms part of their osteopathlc tralning. The LSO offers four pathways all leadlng to access to the statutory register for osteopaths (under the aUspiS of the General Osteopathic Council). Two are at Bachelorfs level, and two at Masterfs lev81. Both full-time and part-lirne options are available, to give the widest and most flexible choice options. Many of our students come to osteopathy as 2nd career Ch0s, and balance WO and home lives with study. During their studies (and on graduation) students contributs to the health and wellbeing of the local population. both through the teaching clinic, and through research undertaken in the final stages of the Masterfs palhway.

London School of Osteopathy For the year ended 31 August 2024 Trustees, report With regards the teaching dinic, in past years over 7,000 appointments were delivered to a diverse patient base, ranging from 1 week to over 90 years old, across the soao-ecorK)mic spectrum. A high proportion of these appointments were at concessionary rates (for example elderly, childn. job- seekers). The gradual resumptK)n of services post COVID shutdown has seen a welcome return to on-site activities and the withdrawal of telehealth (atthough this is still available for the initial case history rf a patient prefers this option). Numbers remain at about 650/0 of pre-pandemic levels. Financial review The Charity made a surplus of £215,880 for the year ended 31 August 2024 compared to a surplus of £239,454 in the previous financial year. All of the surplus relates to unrestricted funds except for £68 deficit (2023: £1,178 surplus) relating to restricted funds. There weTr no periods of operating at a deficit. Overall, income decreased by 1.2% whilst expenditure increased by 0.6 % . The main income stream is via student fees. These decreased by 6.30/0 to £950k due, in part, to lower student intake compared to the previous year. Related grant funding from the Office for Students. detemiined by grant rates applied to the number of full-time equivalent students following each mode of study, increased by 18.89A to £173k Income from the outpatient dinic increased by 8.7¥0 to £147k mainly as a resutt of increased patient bookings. Restricted expenditure from the Hospital Saturday Fund to fund the clinic charges of a patient was £68 and £240 is carried forward. There were no movements on the Robin lfjrk legacy restricted fund during the year. The Chaiity became entitled to legacy payments totalling £23k from two estates, of which £6k was receivable at the end of the year. No conditions were attached to the legacy paents and it is therefore unrestricted income. The increase in expenditure of £7k comprises: increased staff costs (£6k) primarily due to additional clinic supervisor shifts supporting higher income at the outpatient dinic, an increase in exlernally provided digital marketing costs (£25k). increased franchise payments due to the validating university ARU (£13k), increased repairs and renewals costs {£6k) and cleaning contract costs (£3k), legal costs relating to the new lease at the outpatient dinic (£4k} and an increase in the bad debt charge (£13k); offset by reduced student bursary costs (£3k), a credit to business rates due to a backdated tharitable relief claim (£53k) and lower depreGiation costs (£8k). Bank and Gash balances increased to £672k from £650k in the previous year. The outstanding balance on the mortgage loan reduced by £63k to £400k. The Charity offers a govemment pension scheme administered by Nest pensions; the Charity has no control over the assets of the scheme or how it is administered. The Charity does not hold any investments.
London School of Osteopathy For the year ended 31 August 2024 Trustees, report Reserves pollcy The reserves policy takes into account the need to: . Deal with short-temi volatilty of income withoLrt having to suddenly cut expenditure. This allows the charity to spend a portion of reserves. subject to a plen1$hfflent plan being in place. Provide funding to cover unavoidable charity staff and other costs in the extreme case of closure. The trustees have assessed that a target range for free reserves of between £140k and £170k is appropriate for these purposes. The reserves pdicy and target level are reviewed by the trustees on an annual basis, together with any steps necessary to align the actual level with the taTget over time. As of 31 August 2024, total reserves stood at £1.534k, of which £1.1 k were restricted. Of the totsl unrestricted reserves, £325k was designated by the trustees for a Building Development fund with £90k being transferred to this fund during the year. Of the remainder, £917k is taken up by fixed assets, leaving £291 k as free reserves. The trustees have considered medium term forecasts and assessed that free reserves will fall within the target range within this timeframe. Golng concern The trustees believe that there are no material unrtaintieS Ihat call into doubt the charity's ability to continue its activities. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concem. Principal risks and uncertainties The risk register is kept under review. and any changes considered at Trustee Board meetings. In 2023-24 the critical risks associated with the pandemic have receded, with other aspects largely unchanged. For 2024-25, the cost of living crisis continues to impact student recruitment and student retention, and is slowly staring lo impacl patient numbers. Recruitment and retention of students (induding the impact of inffiation I cost of living) Conlinued provision of our courses (validation. accreditation, Office for Students) • Extemal policy changes (business rates; data protection; employrnent law; National Insurance) Risk mitigation principally lies with: Support aimed at staff and student retention (whilst exercising restraint in salary review) • Additional emphasis on marketing and recruitment Close liaison wth our outsourced HR provider. Plans for the future The new curriculum has been validated and accredited. Implementstion is tsking place year by year. the impact of these changes will be monitored.

Our responslbllltles for the audit of the finaneil sttements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable &ssurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether du¢ to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable &ssurance is a bigh Icvel of assuran¢¢, 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 aris¢ from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to infiuence the ecilnomic decisions of tsken on the basis of these fjnancial statements.

W¢ reviewed the financial statement disc105ures and tcsted these to swrting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We perfornied analytical proceduTes to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls. we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjuslmcnts, assessed whether th¢ judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outsi(k tbe llornl course of business. Because of the inberent lin]itations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all iTregularities, including those leading to a matfflal misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk is also greater Tegarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than CTror, as fraud involves intentional Concea1nDE forgery, collusion. omission or misrepTe5cntation.
