Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
The London School of Osteopathy is a registered Charity. whose objectives are:
Yhe advan￿ment of the science and pracbce of osteopathy for the public benefrt and the
education and training of persons in this subject.,
The LSO Charty is primarily active through the osteopathy courses and dinic. The school has a
Senior Management Team (SMT) who give effect to the vision of the Board, and manage the day to
day affairs.
The LSO currently only provides degree level education in osteopathy. There are four courses:
Bsc (hons) Osteopathy- full-time or part-time
Most (an undergraduate integrated Masters degree) - full-time or part-time.
The courses are validated by Anglia Ruskin University, and accredited by the General Osteopathic
Councll.
Tha programme is managed and delivered at the London School of Osteopathy, Bermondsey
London SE1. with the teaching dinic at Bethnal Green. London E2.
Clinical education is a fundamental element of the courses. The costs of running the dinic are
subsidised by the fees paid by patients. Fees are modest. and concessions are available, in keeping
with the charitable aims of the LSO.
Mission:
To be an effective, efficient and supportive leaming organisation committed to the generation,
provision & development of high quality osteopathic education and research which meets the needs
and requirements of all stakeholders. The LSO will continue to make significant contributions to the
health care of its diverse local population.

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 aUspi￿S 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 Ch0￿s, 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.

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, child￿n. 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 pa￿￿ents 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.

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 un￿rtaintieS 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.

In preparing thc financial statements, the tnLStees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to

Our responslbllltles for the audit of the finanei*l st*tements
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.

TO THE MEMBERS OF LONDON SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHY
We enquired of managemen( which includcd obtaining and reviewing supporting
docvrnentatio￿ concerning the charitvs policies and procedures relating to:
identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and r¢gulations and wbeth¢r they
were aware of any instances of non-compliance.
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whetherthey have knowleAlgc of any
actual. suspKcte(L or alleg￿ fraud;
The internal controls cstablish¢d to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance
with laws and r¢gulations.
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those c]]arged with governance.
W¢ obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the ckwity operates
focusing on those laws and regulatiotL8 that I￿1 a material cffect on the financial statements
or that had a fundamentsl effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and
sector experience.
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 llorn￿l 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 Concea1n￿DE forgery, collusion. omission or misrepTe5cntation.
