## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit and are satisfied that Civitas benefits the public by pursuing the following aims, which fall into three main groups:
o the direct provision of education through Civitas Saturday and evening schools;
o conducting research into social and economic problems to improve the stock of public knowledge, raise understanding and encourage informed discussion;
o providing teaching materials and talks for schools.
Civitas is a community of researchers and supporters committed to discovering how best to strengthen democracy, maintain personal freedom and achieve opportunity for all. We strive to achieve our ideals through independent research, reasoned argument, lucid explanation and open public debate.
We make our work available in books, pamphlets, online, and in electronic formats and encourage authors to make their arguments accessible to non-specialists. We have published a knowledge-rich primary school curriculum designed to enable children of all abilities to share in the intellectual heritage of Western civilisation.
Uniquely among think tanks, we play an active, practical part in rebuilding civil society, particularly by running schools on Saturdays and after-school hours so that children who are falling behind at school can achieve their full potential.
Under the company's memorandum of association, the charity is established to advance the studies of ethics and religion and any other charitable purpose.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities**
Primary Education For Children Falling Behind at School
Many primary school pupils are not learning the basics. On Saturdays and after school hours during weekdays we provide lessons in English and maths for children who have fallen behind. We use a no-frills approach which concentrates on high-quality teaching along traditional lines to enable children to master essential skills quickly. We emphasise small class sizes, reading through synthetic phonics and mental arithmetic.
In 2020 Civitas operated eleven supplementary schools in London. The schools provide additional English and maths lessons for 300 children each week. For much of 2020 lessons had to be taught remotely because of the Covid crisis.
Our pupils tend to come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Although many of the parents have high aspirations for their children, they often lack the skills and experience to help them continue learning outside regular school hours. The aim of the project is to encourage disadvantaged children to be high-achievers, to reach their full academic potential and thereby to open up new opportunities.
## I CAN BE
Over the last year we have worked with inner-city primary schools across London, taking a group of 10 girls from each school on 10 workplace visits. During the summer the project became independent and now runs as a separate charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CIVITAS LIMITED
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Civitas Limited ('the Company,)
report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended
3 1st December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible
for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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 201 l Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirn]
that l am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Chartered Accountant which is
one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confinn that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the
examination giving me cause to believe:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts 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
the accounts 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)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should
be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
