Objects and activities of the charity
The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.
Furthering the knowledge of the public in the principles and practice of the Alexander Technique by
(a) training teachers of the Alexander Technique in a manner consistent with the training programme developed by Walter Carrington at The Constructive Teaching Centre (CTC) of Holland Park, London;
(b) maintaining and promoting The Constructive Teaching Centre archives on the Alexander Technique; and
(c) such other charitable means as the trustees see fit.

The Walter Carrington Educational Trust
Company Registration Number - 07322855
Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2021
The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.
Throughout the year the teacher training course (known informally as the Constructive Teaching Centre or CTC), run by the Walter Carrington Educational Trust, continued to train teachers of the Alexander Technique in a manner consistent with the programme developed by Walter Carrington in its premises at 13, The Boulevard, Imperial Wharf, London SW6 2UB.
The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.
The maintenance and promotion of the CTC archives: these are held at the Imperial Wharf premises. Certain factors, chief amongst them Ruth Murray’s death and the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, militated against consultation or exploitation of the archives for the period covered by this report.
The Alexander Technique course at the CTC is the only one of its kind for which students of limited means may be offered a bursary. During the period covered by this report, the trustees continued seeking to award bursaries to suitable candidates to study at the CTC, qualify as teachers and benefit society as a whole. A bursary was awarded to one student during the year.
Rooms on the premises of the CTC were also let to Alexander Technique teachers at reasonable rates, allowing teachers to keep their fees low and teach members of the public who otherwise would be unable to afford lessons.
Students of the CTC continued to receive what the WCET believes to be training in the Alexander Technique to the very highest standard, and graduates of the training course will go on to benefit the general public by teaching the Alexander Technique, with some of them working pro bono.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2021
The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.
There were eight students on the training programme during the period covered by this report. One student graduated on 15 October 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect the normal course of the CTC’s teaching programme, but not unduly so: whereas the CTC had shut its premises in line with government policy and/or recommendations during the first wave of the pandemic, it had reopened on 7 March 2021 with a set of stringent guidelines to be followed by staff, student, visitors and cleaners, and has remained open since that date.
Loretta Manson, the part-time administrator who was job-sharing with Claire Butler, stepped down in October 2020, whereupon Claire Butler increased her own hours.
A major upheaval occurred on 15 March 2021 with the death of the CTC’s director, Ruth Murray, soon after being hospitalised for treatment of an illness. Co-director Alan Philps then became the director of the CTC.
At this time, Claire Butler voluntarily increased her existing workload and responsibilities and Alan Philps appointed CTC alumnus and teacher Duncan Knowles to assist him in all aspects of the CTC’s operations.
In the ensuing months to 31 July 2021 (the period covered by this report), significant efforts were made by Alan Philps, Duncan Knowles and Claire Butler working in partnership to reorganise the CTC’s operations and infrastructure in the face of mounting financial difficulties, which had been discussed earlier in the year at trustee meetings. As a result, basic operating costs were cut and expenditure brought under much greater control. Revenue was also increased by, amongst other initiatives, re-conceiving and maximising venue hire operations.

Fundraising activities during the year.
Funding for the year was obtained through donations, including a special appeal in memory of Ruth Murray (those proceeds are earmarked for the bursary fund); student fees; and the letting of rooms at the Imperial Wharf premises, the fees for which were increased as part of a new venue hire strategy spearheaded by Duncan Knowles and Claire Butler.
The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity.
The main beneficiaries of the charity were the students of the CTC, who continued to receive what the Trustees believed to be some of the best training of its kind.
The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.
The students who complete the training will go on to teach the general public to the benefit of their health, some working pro bono.
Structure, governance and management of the charity
The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees.
The expansion of the Board of Trustees of the WCET had been a matter of discussion in 2020. At a meeting of the trustees on 11 June 2021, two candidates were introduced to the trustees by Claire Butler, Administrator, and Alan Philps, the CTC’s director. The potential trustees were Joanna Sleight (who possesses high-level professional experience in financial forecasting and planning, and currently teaches the Alexander Technique and singing) and Mitchell Albert (who possesses professional experience as a book publisher, a manager in non-profit organisations and a small-business owner, and who qualified as a teacher of the Alexander Technique at the CTC). During this meeting, these two candidates were proposed and seconded by the existing trustees, and thus appointed to the Board pending official registration. As noted above, these appointments were formalised on 25 June 2021 and 1 July 2021 respectively.

Financial review
The charity's financial position at the end of the year ended 31 July 2021
The financial position of the charity at 31 July 2021 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:-
| Restricted Revenue Funds Total Funds Net income Unrestricted Revenue Funds available for the general purposes of the charity |
2021 £ 547,658 321,169 3,426 880,462 |
2020 £ (25,665) 329,378 3,426 332,804 |
|---|---|---|
Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 July 2021 .
During this reporting period, 31 July 2021, the trustees considered the charity’s financial position overall as fairly precarious. As in the previous reporting period (2019–20), the loss of income on account of the pandemic shutdowns and the extra costs incurred by COVID compliance continued to exert a dampening effect. However, cost-cutting and cost-saving measures implemented by Duncan Knowles after assuming his role as assistant to the director improved the outlook, as did the review of venue-hire policies along with the acquisition of new renters.
A financial forecast presented by new trustee Joanna Sleight provided additional hope, indicating that the CTC could break even over each of the five years forecast, if it could maintain current student numbers and venue hire along with some staff-hours reduction. Planned student fee increases and venue-hire fee increases, continued cost-savings measures and other revenuegenerating strategies would aid in the recovery of the CTC to a place of resilience, and not merely critical maintenance. There has been no change to fixed assets, the 13 The Boulevard building being the main one. The Trustees agreed to re-value this asset at it's market value as at 31 July 2021 and will re-value the asset based on an independent valuation every 5 years.

Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.
Significant events which have affected the financial performance and the financial position.
Covid 19 was the most significant event to affect the financial performance and position of the charity.
Plans For the Future
Summary of plans for the future and the trustees' perspective of the future direction of the charity.
The trustees shall continue seeking sources of funding in addition to student fees and venue hire; mooted ideas in this regard included alumni appeals, the re-implementation of workshare evenings at the CTC and special Alexander Technique events held there.

Statement of the Directors Trustees' Responsibilities
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).
In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
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 inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2021
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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 Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
Method of preparation of accounts - Small company provisions
The financial statements are set out on pages 11 to 31.
The financial statements have been prepared implementing the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016)
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 27 April 2022.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WALTER CARRINGTON EDUCATION TRUST
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 July 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 26.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
-
and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Charities SORP FRS 102 have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Walter Carrington Educational Trust
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2021
1 Accounting policies
Policies relating to the production of the accounts.
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
Going Concern
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 30 June 2021, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Risks and future assumptions
The charity is a public benefit entity.
Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.
Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance
Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.
Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met.
When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.
Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned,and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.
Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.
17
The Walter Carrington Educational Trust
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2021
Donated goods, facilities and services
Donated fixed assets are recognised at the current fair value. All such donations are recognised as donation income, and debited to fixed assets.
Donated goods that are not fixed assets are accounted for at a fair value, unless it is impractical to reliably measure the value of the donated items.
In the absence of any direct evidence of fair value of donated goods, then a value is derived from the cost of the item to the donor or, in the case of goods that are expected to be sold, the estimated resale value after deducting any anticipated costs of sales.
If it is impracticable to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale, or the costs of valuation outweigh the benefits, the donated goods are recognised as income when sold, with an equivalent amount being recognised as an expense.
The costs of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those goods upon receipt. When the goods are distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is adjusted at the time of sale, to the value at the point of distribution and the adjustment is shown as a cost of donations made.
The carrying amount of any stock held for distribution is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. All donated goods are recognised as donation income, and debited to trading stock.When trading stock is subsequently sold, or appropriated to meet an expense, then the carrying value of the stock is recognised as an expense. In accordance with the SORP, goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries, or for consumption by the charity are included in 'legacies and donations '. Goods donated for resale are included in 'Income from other trading activities'
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt. If the goods held are to be distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to reflect the lower of deemed cost adjusted for any loss of service potential and replacement cost. Replacement cost is the economic cost incurred if the charity was to replace the service potential of the donated goods at its own expense in the most economic manner.
Donated services and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.
All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,(provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value.
Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
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.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.
| Freehold land and buildings | revalued every 5 yrs | revalued every 5 yrs |
|---|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | 25 | % reducing balance |
| Fixtures and fittings | 25 | % reducing balance |
A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Stocks and work in progress
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classed as current liabilities if they are due within one year or less. Trade creditors are recognised at transaction price.
Cash and bank balances
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.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
There are no designated funds, which are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
There are no endowment funds.
