ANNUAL REPORT
Objectives
The Object of the CIO is: The advancement of education for the public benefit by the provision of additional tuition services for GCSE and A level students seeking to increase and then sustain their academic levels in Maths, English Language and the Sciences.
Charity Structure and Legal Status
The Hillside Education Trust CIO was registered with the Charity Commission on 20 April 2017 as Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Our objectives and powers are set out in the Constitution.
Principal Activities
The Aim of Hillside Education Trust is the advancement of education for members of the public who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access tuition services as they require. With this in mind we aim to ensure our services remain non-profit and accessible to all. To this end we rely heavily on volunteer support and good will.
We are seeking to establish our base in North West London.
We believe through proper attainment in education this will encourage members of the local community to become involved in their community for the betterment of all.
Activities and events:
Hillside Education Trust is a non-profit organisation based in London. Our group consists of professionals and business-people principally based in the wider London area. The group has a broadly even number of men and women. In recognition of the educational, social and health problems within our community, we supplement the efforts of other likeminded individuals and organisations to bring about change. We believe that improving literacy and numeracy skills not only forms a firm foundation for academic and employment success, but also provides a means for greater integration into society and an empowerment of individuals to express themselves as productive members of the community.
We are also committed to addressing the root causes of anti-social behaviour and providing individuals with the moral direction that is needed for each of them to take their place as a conscientious member of British society. By emphasising the importance of sound personal ethics, access to a strong education and the need to contribute to the community.
As parents, professionals and educators, the membership of the Hillside Educational Trust are deeply conscious of the many factors that restrict people’s opportunity to fulfil their potential. As a result, we have developed an approach that addresses several of the key problems faced by our communities and provides our beneficiaries with the support they need to overcome them.
The trustees confirm they have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011. Each year our trustees review our activities to ensure they continue to reflect our objectives. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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 for this year 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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
• the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.
