The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

Legadel is an non-profit organisation and charity in north-west London that supports young children by providing an early intervention plan, which meets the developmental & educational needs of children failing to thrive and succeed at school.

Through the formulation of a personal plan for each child which includes the necessary input of relevant professionals as well as the support of specially trained Key Workers, these precious children will have bs’d the support they require to help them achieve their maximum potential and enjoy their years at school.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objectives and aims of the charity and its principal activity is to advance the education of young people by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities (not required to be provided by the local education authority) for education.

The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charity Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Company's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Internal and external factors

The Trustees have considered the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been spreading since early 2020, on the Charity's activities. The Trustees have taken appropriate action to follow government guidance and to mitigate the effects of Covid-19 on the finances of the charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year the charity received £327,073 (2020: £440,757) in donations and grants, spent £23,040 (2020: £25,607) on fundraising and £235,860 (2020: £372,471) on charitable activities which were primarily the costs associated with paying staff and external consultants who provide the support the charity offers.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEGADEL (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08430102)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Legadel ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of the Institute of Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
