The London Institute Annual Report 2022 Annual Report
Research Methodology Conference was held in partnership with Coventry University’s Centre for Global Learning (GLEA) at Coventry University on 20th April 2022. The conference aimed to bring together doctoral students, professionals and early-career researchers from various disciplines within the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities allowing them to share their research experiences. This conference enabled participants to i) share their research experiences during the pandemic, ii) get feedback from their peers and leading academics and iii) develop their understanding of methods and methodologies in global contexts and within the context of continued uncertainty and precarity. Through the one-day conference, attendees were able to explore, empirical, methodological, and ethical issues and challenges in the (post-) COVID-19 era. In doing so, participants had opportunities to be exposed to new and innovative approaches and methods employed during the pandemic and into a new post-Covid era.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 4 (Quality Education).
1.1.4 UK Academic Trip -Academic Trip: A package is created.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 4 (Quality Education).

2. Society
2.1. Producing Social Responsibility Projects
2.1.1 British Engagement
British Engagement: British Engagement Project for Highly-Skilled Displaced mothers (26 April 2022- 26 January 2023).
https://thelondoninstitute.org.uk/event/british-engagement-project-for-displaced-mothers/ This project aims to eradicate barriers for the highly educated mothers of displaced families in gaining knowledge, experience and opportunities by creating a bespoke programme of educational and career advancing activities to integrate these mothers into British job market.
We formed a larger steering committee for this project with directors, trustees, staff, community and beneficiary representatives. To further develop and adjust the project to the emerging needs of the target group, we conducted a pilot study with 15 highly educated displaced mothers and had regular discussions with the community members. This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 10 (Reduced Inequality and Sustainable Community).
2.1.2 Motivating and Empowering Female Students from
Disadvantaged Backgrounds The university attainment rate of migrant communities, especially for Turkish and Somali female students in the UK, is well below the national average. Comparing the male students, the cultural challenges they face and lack of family support stemming from the patriarchal family structures make young female students of these communities further vulnerable. This project is prepared aiming at addressing this social problem.
In this project, we will host informative talks, seminars, and consultancy that address the challenges these students face, inform students and families about the importance of higher education and provide parental support to improve students’ school performance/motivation.

The London Institute Annual Report 2022 Annual Report
2.1.2A practical London-based program will be implemented for six months where at least 20 female migrant students and their families will get the chance to deconstruct common myths around higher education, explore career pathways, and develop a
personalised career action plan with clear and attainable goals. The project proposal is ready, and we are looking for possible funders.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 10 and 16 (Reduced Inequality, Sustainable and Inclusive Communities).
2.1.3 Career Advancement for Displaced Scholars
This project is prepared aiming at eradicating barriers for displaced scholars in gaining knowledge, experience and opportunities by creating a bespoke programme of educational and career advancing activities to integrate these people into British job market. This tailored programme will be conducted with selected mentors from these communities to provide academic migrants a greater understanding of Britain and it’s working environment.
The project will last for one year and will be carried out in a non-formal learning environment for diversity, acceptance and tolerance along with assisting them to advance their careers. The project includes workshops with mentors from the community and educational specialists to assist with writing CVs and learning different ways through which they
can build their careers as well as sessions on job application. The project proposal is ready, and we are looking for possible funders.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 4 and 10 (Quality Education and Reduced Inequality).

THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Freehold buildings | over 50 years |
|---|---|
| Leasehold land and buildings | over the lease term |
| Plant and machinery | over 5 years |
| Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment | over 5 years |
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Taxation
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
Leased assets
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.

THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES Registered number: CE027025 Directors' Report
Research Methodology Conference was held in partnership with Coventry University’s Centre for Global Learning (GLEA) at Coventry University on 20th April 2022. The conference aimed to bring together doctoral students, professionals and early-career researchers from various disciplines within the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities allowing them to share their research experiences. This conference enabled participants to i) share their research experiences during the pandemic, ii) get feedback from their peers and leading academics and iii) develop their understanding of methods and methodologies in global contexts and within the context of continued uncertainty and precarity. Through the one-day conference, attendees were able to explore, empirical, methodological, and ethical issues and challenges in the (post-) COVID-19 era. In doing so, participants had opportunities to be exposed to new and innovative approaches and methods employed during the pandemic and into a new post-Covid era.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 4 (Quality Education).
1.1.4 UK Academic Trip
-Academic Trip: A package is created. This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 4 (Quality Education).

- Society
2.1. Producing Social Responsibility Projects
2.1.1 British Engagement
British Engagement: British Engagement Project for Highly-Skilled Displaced mothers (26 April 2022- 26 January 2023).
https://thelondoninstitute.org.uk/event/british-engagement-project-for-displaced-mothers/ This project aims to eradicate barriers for the highly educated mothers of displaced families in gaining knowledge, experience and opportunities by creating a bespoke programme of educational and career advancing activities to integrate these mothers into British job market.
We formed a larger steering committee for this project with directors, trustees, staff, community and beneficiary representatives. To further develop and adjust the project to the emerging needs of the target group, we conducted a pilot study with 15 highly educated displaced mothers and had regular discussions with the community members. This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 10 (Reduced Inequality and Sustainable Community).
2.1.2 Motivating and Empowering Female Students from
Disadvantaged Backgrounds The university attainment rate of migrant communities, especially for Turkish and Somali female students in the UK, is well below the national average. Comparing the male students, the cultural challenges they face and lack of family support stemming from the patriarchal family structures make young female students of these communities further vulnerable. This project is prepared aiming at addressing this social problem.
In this project, we will host informative talks, seminars, and consultancy that address the challenges these students face, inform students and families about the importance of higher education and provide parental support to improve students’ school performance/motivation.

THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES Registered number: CE027025 Directors' Report
2.1.2A practical London-based program will be implemented for six months where at least 20 female migrant students and their families will get the chance to deconstruct common myths around higher education, explore career pathways, and develop a personalised career action plan with clear and attainable goals. The project proposal is ready, and we are looking for possible funders.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 10 and 16 (Reduced Inequality, Sustainable and Inclusive Communities).
2.1.3 Career Advancement for Displaced Scholars
This project is prepared aiming at eradicating barriers for displaced scholars in gaining knowledge, experience and opportunities by creating a bespoke programme of educational and career advancing activities to integrate these people into British job market. This tailored programme will be conducted with selected mentors from these communities to provide academic migrants a greater understanding of Britain and it’s working environment. The project will last for one year and will be carried out in a non-formal learning environment for diversity, acceptance and tolerance along with assisting them to advance their careers. The project includes workshops with mentors from the community and educational specialists to assist with writing CVs and learning different ways through which they can build their careers as well as sessions on job application. The project proposal is ready, and we are looking for possible funders.
This project is based on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) No. 4 and 10 (Quality Education and Reduced Inequality).

THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Freehold buildings | over 50 years |
|---|---|
| Leasehold land and buildings | over the lease term |
| Plant and machinery | over 5 years |
| Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment | over 5 years |
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
11
THE LONDON INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Taxation
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
Leased assets
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
