Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT
The Charity is governed by it's memorandum and articles of association incorporated 21 June 2005, as amended on 03 January 2023.
RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
New Trustees are appointed by existing Trustees based on the experience and skills they will offer, and the requirements of the current Trustees Board and needs of the Charity.
TRUSTEES' INDUCTION
New Trustees are informed about the objectives and running practices of the organisation as well as their duties, responsibilities and role within the Trustees Board and the Charity.
ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
All major policy and spending decisions are subject to approval by the majority of the Trustees. After that, all expenses and spending decisions must be approved according to the framework laid out in section 5, "Levels of Expenditure Authorisation", of the Charities own Financial Controls Policy.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the organisation in the period under review was the charitable advancement of education, in particular of those who have social or economic disadvantage or who have disability, through the provision or assistance in the provision of information, learning and communications technology.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year, The Cooke e-Learning Foundation continued to strengthen its role as a trusted community organisation in Beaumont Leys, delivering a wide range of activities that support children, young people, adults, and families. Our work was made possible through the generous support of the following funders:
DMU Community Challenge Fund 2024, Garfield Weston Foundation, LCC Anti-Poverty Community Grants, LCC Holiday Activities and Food Programme (Easter, Summer, Winter), LCC Abbey Ward 2025, LCC Ward Funding — 20th Anniversary, Leicestershire & Rutland Community Foundation — Anchor Fund, Samworth Brothers Community Opportunity Fund, Severn Trent Water Community Fund, Social Investment Business — Recovery Loan Fund Grant, Trelleborg.
The National Lottery Community Fund - Reaching Communities: Beaumont Leys Catalyst Project. Funding from these partners enabled us to deliver wide-ranging youth and family support, expand community programmes across food, arts, digital inclusion, sport, and green skills, strengthen anti-poverty work, build community leadership, and maintain overall organisational and financial stability throughout the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Cooke e-Learning Foundation remained financially stable during the year, supported by a diverse range of funders and strong internal financial management. Restricted income continued to form the majority of our funding, enabling delivery of youth work, holiday provision, anti-poverty initiatives, community development programmes, and environmental projects across Beaumont Leys. Unrestricted income, though modest, provided essential flexibility to support core functions, staffing, and organisational capacity. Expenditure remained aligned with charitable objectives, and the charity monitored budgets closely to ensure all funds were used as agreed with funders.
The charity continued to manage cashflow prudently, and our relationship with the Social Investment Business through the Recovery Loan Fund grant strengthened our financial resilience during the year. Governance, oversight,
Page 2
THE COOKE e-LEARNING FOUNDATION
Report of the Trustees (Continued) for the Year Ended 30 June 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW (cont.)
and internal controls remained robust, with trustees receiving regular financial reports and authorising key decisions. The Board maintained a focus on long-term sustainability, working to widen income streams and plan for future investment in the E2 Community Hub, including outdoor and environmental enhancements.
At year-end, unrestricted reserves stood at £25,981, which is below our targeted reserves level of £40,000. Trustees recognise this shortfall and are committed to rebuilding unrestricted reserves over the coming year through careful cost control and diversification of income. Overall reserves remain sufficient to meet short-term obligations and maintain operational stability. The Board remains committed to strong financial stewardship, broadening funding sources, and ensuring that all charitable expenditure delivers meaningful benefit to the community.
RESERVE POLICY
A minimum reserve level of £40,000, representing approximately three months of our average running costs. This serves as a financial buffer for short-term operational needs. Our strategic goal is to increase the reserve level to £80,000, which equates to six months of running costs, as financial viability permits. This enhancement will bolster our ability to manage longer-term financial uncertainties.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Trustees examine the major risks that the charity faces each financial year when preparing and updating the strategic plan. The Charity has developed systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the charity in the future.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the net surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will not continue in operation
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP FRS 102. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The organisation has taken advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the report above. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees
for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 12.
This report is made solely to the trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report, or the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act)
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under)
-
section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination is carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the "true and fair" view given by the accounts, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
I confirm that no matters have come to my attention to indicate that:
-
Accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
-
The accounts do not accord with such records.
-
Where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting
requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
- Any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
