The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The charity's Memorandum of Association lists ALEHM's established objectives which are to help to protect and improve the environment and public health in London and to advance education in environmental health for the public benefit by:(a) Providing a policy and strategy forum for London borough environmental health managers and staff to develop and deliver environmental health services within London;
(b) Developing, delivering and promoting coordinated environmental health services for London; and
- (c) Identifying the training needs of London's environmental health services to develop and deliver appropriate training.
ALEHM publishes a business plan which, with other examples of the Association's activities and formal documents, can be found on the Alehm web site at https://alehm.org.uk/. Records, minutes and other technical and professional supporting information are recorded on a membership section of the Knowledge Hub which is accessible to members of the Alehm community.
Significant Activities
ALEHM continued to offer a range of member meetings, using hybrid facilities which enabled more face to face meetings with and training manly taking place online. Attendance numbers at members meetings continued to be very high, as the hybrid meetings offered greater flexibility and more officers were able to attend. The communication with members continues via email via contact lists to ensure members receive information relevant to their specific interests, and key information is available on the website and LinkedIN Alehm’s key purpose is to raise the profile of a broad spectrum of emerging issues that affect member authorities and provide low cost training to ensure members have the knowledge of up-to-date issues and can maintain the required number of CPD hours. ALEHM also provides operational support to enable members to react quickly and effectively to the changing environmental health environment.
Public Benefit
The Executive regularly review and agree a working business plan containing activities that deliver our aims and objectives. Activities are grouped within the themes of:
-
Partnership;
-
Policy and Strategy;
-
Support Services;
-
Learning;
-
Building Capacity.
Our activities within the themes during 2024-25 are described below.
Partnership:
We aim to work with partners to establish and develop alliances that will help us to improve the effectiveness of environmental health related service delivery.
Healthier Catering Commitment:
The HCC group represents 27 local authorities and public health teams, and the aim is to make small changes to the food offered in fast food and takeaway premises to make it slightly healthier, and to provide healthier options to make it easier to make healthier choices.
ALEHM has helped coordinate the project and maintain its momentum by supporting the chair, minute taking and attending business meetings to promote the aims of the group with food producers and distributors. The group aims to improve the opportunities of food businesses to purchase healthier food from their suppliers and to influence multi-site businesses to change their recipes. Financial assistance was received with a grant of £3,665 (2024 £13,766) from the Greater London Authority. A small proportion of ALEHM’s costs were covered by this funding, although ALEHM also invests significant internal resources into this important project. Alice Bimpong from Tower Hamlets council, continues to chair the group and extend our grateful thanks to Alice for all her hard work and dedication.
GLA Licensing and Regulation sub-group
Created during the Covid pandemic to bring enforcers, policy makers and business representatives together, ALEHM’s vital role in this dynamic and strategic group enables issues faced by enforcers to be raised and discussed and potential resolutions identified through sharing of information, lobbying and training while ensuring regulatory activity is aligned with business needs.
Learning – student consortia and continuing professional development:
We aim to enhance the learning and development of London staff and trainees.
A Student Apprenticeship Support Group was established in 2023/24 which has continued and will remain in place.

London Environmental Health Practitioners Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Public Benefit - continued
A programme of low cost virtual training courses and workshops was run across the year.
Most training is taken up by Alehm member authorities, but where there is extra capacity spaces are offered to other authorities at a slighter higher charge than for members.
Building Capacity:
We aim to develop the business capacity of LEHP to support ALEHM’s future plans.
Incorporation and charitable status was achieved for London Environmental Health Practitioners in 2008. From 1st April 2018 ALEHM became an employer and appointed 3 key workers on permanent contracts, extended to 4 in 2022. The ALEHM employees provide some administrative support such as minute taking and coordination support to members, and action certain areas of work on behalf of members under the direction of the trustee board. External review is provided from accountants to ensure the effective governance of the company.
This annual report will be placed on the website and the link circulated to members.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Over the previous 12 months, ALEHM’s membership activities have included:
The continuation of the student apprenticeship group to support managers with staff undertaking the Environmental Health apprenticeship program, we have also engaged with Middlesex University who run the environmental health apprenticeship degree in London
Based on identified membership needs, across a range of technical areas, to providing training to maintain competency of regulatory staff and to upskill officers taking on a range of new regulatory duties. Courses included a wide range of legal training courses, gas safety enforcement, nuisance investigation, regulation of approved food premises, and anti-social behaviour regulation. These courses provided a total of hours of CPD accredited competency training for the environmental health community. ALEHM ran 4 low cost CPD days for front line officers to provide essential update training to assist officers to maintain their competency and help maintain a high-quality regulatory service for businesses in London.
ALEHM ran 5 free member meetings on the themes of Food, Pollution, Intelligence and Enforcement, Housing, and Licensing and Animal Welfare. These meetings are free of charge and provide valuable CPD as well as the opportunity to network.

Financial Review
Financial Position
The Trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory. The main source of income is from membership, in the year to 31/3/2025 total subscription income was £51,930 (2024 - £53,509). There has been no change to number of members. Training income has decreased in the year falling from £34,252 to £27,614. The charity has run 18 courses compared with 19 in the previous year but there was also a fall in the number of delegates attending the courses.
Separate courses have been run from funds received in previous years for training. This has meant that there has been cost without income this year.
The main costs to the charity are staff costs. The total of staff costs have decreased this year to £60,747 (2024 £63,133). There was an inflationary pay increase but due to a fall in staff numbers total costs are reduced. In 2024, there were additional staff as there was a handover in the management role and one employee left and this role has been replaced by freelance secretarial support.
There has been a fall in the income from the Healthier Catering Commitment Scheme. In 2025, Alehm received £3,655 (2024 £13,766) as grant income. ALEHM agreed to cover some of the costs to continue the HCC as funds are not available to fund all the costs.
Interest received as increased in the current year to £5,129 (2024 £3,576). The charity has benefited from higher interest rates and also has deposited surplus funds into a higher earning account.
The Board will propose an increase in subscriptions and training fees from 1 April 2026.
Reserves Policy
The current policy, agreed by Trustees at the Executive meeting held on the 12 April 2016 requires that Alehm maintains a financial reserve of the equivalent of one year of subscription income along with 50% of the expected annual income from grant funded projects. Annual project funding to date has been up to £200,000, so a level of reserve of £100,000 was agreed.
Current annual income from subscriptions is £51,930. The trustees also introduced a contingency fund to be an additional part of the reserves, to allow for any unexpected expenditure. This is set at £15,000. The minimum level of reserves for 2024-25 is set at £155,000 to provide an appropriate level of financial stability.
At the year end the charitable company had total reserves of £179,221 required comprising general reserves of £117,668 and restricted funds of £61,553.
Going Concern
We have no concerns regarding the financial viability of ALEHM . We expect to retain the same membership for 2026/7 and propose an increase to subscriptions to ensure that income will cover anticipated cost increases. We have reviewed the projected income for training for 2025/26, and our forecast for this year is to break even and that results for 2026/7 will be similar. We have a number of training courses booked to secure income. We also have reserves of £179,221 and continue to have the support of the Councils for whom we work.

London Environmental Health Practitioners Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. General Information
London Environmental Health Practitioners is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 06316667 and registered charity number 1122440. The registered office is 4th Floor, 18 St. Cross Street, London, EC1N 8UN.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
There are no endowment funds.
2.3. Incoming Resources
Income, whether from exchange or non-exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions, which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources, is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
2.4. Resources Expended
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
2.5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts. Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
2.6. Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax as all its income is charitable and applied for charitable purposes.
2.7. Pensions
The charitable company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Page 10
London Environmental Health Practitioners Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
2.8. Government Grant
Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial activities in an appropriate manner that matches them with the expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute.
Grants for immediate financial support or to cover costs already incurred are recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities. Grants towards general activities of the entity over a specific period are recognised in the statement of financial activities over that period.
All grants in the statement of financial activities are recognised when all conditions for receipt have been complied with.
2.9. Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amount at the balance sheet date.
2.10. 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.
