SLT BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The directors, who are also the Trustees of the charity, present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association , 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 (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
Principal activities
The company is a registered charity limited by guarantee. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The objects of the charity are to preserve for the benefit of the people of Greater London the historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in buildings of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest, including those that relate to the performing arts in Greater London.
Currently, the principal activity of the company is the preservation and management of The Old Fire Station, a Grade II listed building, at 2a Norwood High Street, London SE27 9NS.
Going concern
The Directors' report and financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the directors have reviewed current available resources and considered relevant information including reviewing the cash flow requirements of the charity for, at least, the forthcoming twelve months. The directors have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Review of the financial position
Work on restoration and refurbishment of The Old Fire Station was completed during 2019 at a total capital cost of £2,606,044 of which 89% was supported by grants and donations. The balance was financed with long-term loans from the London Borough of Lambeth repayable over 25 years and the Architectural Heritage Fund repayable over five years. At 31 December 20 20 the outstanding amounts of these loans were £ 242,758 and £ 50,392 respectively.
The effect of long-term loan finance for the building project is that Restricted Reserves carry a negative balance of £ 286,980 representing the excess of total expenditure over grants and donations received. As repayments are now being financed from Unrestricted Reserves, an amount of £3,135 representing loan repayments in 2020 has been transferred from Unrestricted to Restricted Reserves reducing the Restricted Reserves negative balance to £283,845 at 31 December 20 20.
The Statement of Financial Activities for the year to 31 December 20 20 shows net income of £10,960 (2019: net expenditure of £24,279) de creasing negative total reserves carried forward to £266,848 (2019: £277,808).
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be allowed to rise to a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure. The directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised
Review of activities and future developments
The company manages the building principally for the benefit South London Theatre Centre Ltd and its Members’ Club who maintained a full programme of activities during the year. In addition, rooms on the upper floors were hired out to other local charities and small businesses. The building closed as a result of the COVID-19 coronavirus but it is expected that normal levels of activity will be revived when it re-opens.

SLT BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Wider network
The company was formed to act as the vehicle for restoration of the building the tenants of which are South London Theatre Centre Limited (SLTC) and SLTC Members’ Club, a separate entity with its own constitution and ruling body operating for the benefit of SLTC. Income from the building is in the form of rent charged to the tenants at agreed market rates.
Risks and uncertainties
The major risks to which the company is exposed as identified by the directors have been reviewed and systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks.
In particular, as a result of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the building used by the company was closed on 26 March 2020 and all activities ceased. The company enrolled in the government’s staff furlough scheme and successfully applied for a government Rate Rebate Grant of £25,000 which together with Lambeth’s waiving of loan and interest payments during closure, proved essential support in seeing the company through 2020 and into 2021.
In the latter part of 2020, further grants for specific purposes were received of £40,400 from the Heritage Emergency Fund, £87,900 from the Heritage Cultural Recovery Fund, £9,080 from the National Lottery Community Fund and £14,100 from the AHF Cultural Recovery Fund. These grants are for expenditure on projects extending to November 2021 including the conversion to live screening and online activities, improvement of ventilation, community outreach events, staff salaries and contributions to running costs.
The building re-opened in July 2021 albeit with COVID-19 restrictions in place and although this prevents a resumption of activities in full, the process of rebuilding the business has made a promising start. Various government business support grants totalling £32,386 were received during the first half of 2021 and with the gradual resumption of pre-closure income streams, the company will be financially stable to the end of 2022.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
Charlotte Benstead (Chair) Carole Coyne (Resigned 29 December 2020) Fiona Daffern Charles Doyle Marianne Jacobson (Appointed 22 March 2021) Geoffrey Lill (Resigned 29 December 2020) Geraldine McAndrew Jason Salmon Christopher Stooke Lisa Thomas Noah Wright (Appointed 29 December 2020)
Appointment of directors
Directors are appointed for a three-year term and are eligible for re-election for up to two further three-year consecutive terms.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Auditor
In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Begbies be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.
Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
Statement of disclosure to auditor
So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SLT BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of SLT Building Preservation Trust Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard , and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty relat ed to going concern
We draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements which describes the basis of the going concern assumption. Although the net income for the year was £ 10,960 , the company’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £266, 848 as at 31 December 2020 . As stated in note 1.2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 1.2 and note 1 3 , indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit :
-
the information given in the directors' r eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements ; and
-
the directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF SLT BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identifie d material misstatements in the directors' r eport .
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the directors' report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' r esponsibilities s tatement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company ' s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance 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 arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below .
-
Agreement of the financial statements disclosure to underlying supporting documentation;
-
Enquiries and confirmation from members as to their identification of any non-compliance with laws or regulations, or any actual or potential claims;
-
Incorporating unpredictability into the nature, timing and extent of testing;
-
Evaluation of the selection and application of accounting policies chosen by the company;
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
-
An assessment of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by considering the key risks impacting the financial statements.

SLT BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF SLT BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
Our audit was designed to respond to the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentation or through collusion.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed. The further removed instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
