Clore Social
Leadership
Letter from the Chair
I wanted lo share some reflections obout Clore Social Leadership's work over the past yeor during
Iliese dillicull or-ld Loriliriuolly Llioriuir-iu IiiTI¥S.
Learnlng In Lockdown
As many organisations experienced. our plons for 2020 changed dramaticolly over the course of the
post year. Thonk5 to the flexibility ol our omazing lunder5, we were able lo quickly adopt our existing
programmes lo be delivered online.
We have now been operating lully digilol versions of our flagship programmes, and feedback has
been overoohelmingly p051tive
porticiponls hove even received more leadership development
content than they would hove in the originol proaramme designs due lo the derreased cost ond
incre05ed occes5ibility ol digilol leorning.
We were also able lo deliver entirely new progrommes to support leoders through lockdown.
The first was a summer progromme lor nearfy 2W leaders working in the Migration and Refugee
Sector. Once we saw the demond lor that Drogromme-- which outDerformed all other programmes
in Clore Social history
we were inspired lo create Leading Beyond Lockdown, which offered
porticipanls from ocross the sociol sector our most impaclful learning interventions as well as space
lor peer connection.
The Great Digital Pivot
At the same lime. the Clore Sociol leom hos been hard ol work Ironslorming into on orgonizotion
that 15 truly 'digitol first,. If we hove leorned anything in 2020, it is that generou5, resilient leoder5hip
hos become more urgently necessary - and also more difficult - than ever before. Bul this year has
olso made cleor that leadership development can be more accessible and affordable if it is done
online, wilh an intent lo reinstole in-person programmes in hope5 01 increasing social interaction.
Going forward, our existing Emerging and Experienced Leader programmes will be delivered fully
online. The team 15 also developing and conlinuou51y improving a series of new online digitol
innovolions launched in earfy 2021, including modules on Digitol Leadership, Leader as Coach,
Managing Remote Teoms. Change Manogemenl and Resilience.
Clore Social hos olso invesled in two new digitol plotlorm5 to increo5e occes5ibilily. improve proce55e5
and enable 5cole. We expect the hunger lor leadership development to continue through 2021 and
beyond. and believe that we can reach l O limes as mony social leaders next year as we did this
year by odopling o hybrid model. utilising virtual ond physical plolforms.
A New Communlty of Changemakers
Clore Social's new digital platforms will also act as an online space lor social leoders to connect,
c.olloborotp. and grnw. We hove long wanted In build a movemp.nl ol rhangemokp.rs. onrl hove
olwoys believed thol the most powerful element ol our progrommes ore the ones that foster peer
learning ond support - a nolural evolution for Clore Social Leodership, porticulorly prescient in this
time ol distancing and isolation. The community officially launched in January 2021 and continues to
goin more troclion eoch week, with plons to provide o sofe environmenl lo reinforce connectedness.
In oddition to enobling leoder5 to connecl ond find eoch other. it will 0150 allow them to creote and
join groups (both thematic and ploce-bosedl. lake advantage ol free resources and much more.
Peer leorning ond networks will be vitol for people coming out of the pondemic ond this will be a
space where leaders can collaborale and support each other in the struggles ahead.
This work was only made possible thanks lo the dedicated stofl and supportive board of trustees, so
o big thank you is in order to them all. And. last but nol least o huge Ihonk you lo our many funders
who have enabled us lo adopt so well lo our changing wodd.

## INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLORE SOCIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of The Clore Social Leadership Programme (‘the company’ for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 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, including its income and expenditure, 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 financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation 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. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. 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. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. 

17 



INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLORE SOCIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the trustees’ annual report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## 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 identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report. 

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 trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees 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 Trustees’ Annual Report and from preparing a Strategic Report. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable 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 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. 

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud 

18 



INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLORE SOCIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME 

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company. 

Our approach was as follows: 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council and UK taxation legislation. 

- We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance. 

- We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance. 

- We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control. 

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. 

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLORE SOCIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME 

## Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the charitable 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 any party other than the charitable company and charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Clore Social Leadership Programme is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England with registration number 07222275. Its registered office address is CAN Mezzanine, 49-51 East Road, London N1 6AH. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The accounts are presented in GBP rounded to £1, which is the functional currency of the charity. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. 

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Trust to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Trustees have given due consideration to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has remained an issue in the period between the year end and the signing of the financial statements.  The charity’s income continues to be largely sheltered from the impact of Covid-19 due to several ongoing grants which have been delayed into the following year or which have been re-negotiated with the funder for newly designed programmes.  The charity has also continued to benefit from the support of its core donors in the current global pandemic. 

Having reviewed forecasts prepared by management and after making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees are confident that the charity will continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and that there are no material uncertainties at the date of signing, and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

Income, including from Government and other grants, whether 'capital' or 'income', is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income for programmes spanning two or more accounting periods is allocated over the period to which it relates in order to more accurately recognise the performance conditions associated with this income. Income received in advance of delivery of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition is met. 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or has received the service. On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. 

24 




Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable. 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.  Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- ! Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose. 

- ! Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of offering fellowships and delivering related services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- ! Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.  However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity (support costs), comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity. 

|!|Fundraising|5%|
|---|---|---|
|!|Emerging leader programmes|39%|
|!|Senior & experienced leader|7%|
|!|Digital and online programmes|29%|
|!|Place based programmes|0%|
|!|NDU and Other innovations|19%|



Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure. 

Governance costs, which are considered a category of support costs, are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. 

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.  Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users. 

The charity contributes towards the employees' personal pension schemes. The cost of the contribution is charged to the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis. 

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the charity is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

There are no estimates and assumptions that are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the financial statements in a future period.

Transfers include: 

Overspent restricted grants transferred from general funds 

Transfers between projects agreed with funders 

Fellowship funds were used to provide funding for specific individual (Specialist) Fellowships. Due to the nature of the specialist fellowship funding, we continue to carry small residual balances at year end (2015 & 2016) as we have been unable to recruit participants within these specialist areas onto our new programmes. We have received permission from these funders to repurpose these amounts as soon as it is possible. 

Short course funds were used for our flagship 4-week online Discover course. 

Emerging Leader Programme funds were a combination of those started at the end of 2019 as well as 5 programmes during 2020. Balances at year end will be spent on the continuation of one programme into 2021. 

Senior & Experienced leader funds were used for several programmes reaching high-level leaders in the sector. Balances at year end will be carried forward for the completion of the programmes during 2021. 

Digital and online programmes balances at year end will be carried forward for continued work on these programmes and projects. 

Place-based programme funds will be used for a series of leadership development programmes in the Wales social sector. 

NDU and Other Innovations funds will be carried forward for continued work in 2021 under the new brand called SharedPurpose.
