THE LETHERHEAD INSTITUTE
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for 01 June 2024 to 31 May 2025.
Trustees are appointed on the basis of their interest in the local community, as reflected in the Institute’s Trust Deed Objects, with particular regard to their expertise in contractual and construction matters.
Objectives and Activities
Policies and objectives
The objects of the Charity are twofold. Firstly, to maintain the Institute building for the benefit of the local community in accordance with the wishes of the benefactor, Abraham Dixon, who presented the building (but provided no endowment) to the local community in 1892 for social, leisure and educational purposes. Secondly, to promote the use of the building for these purposes for the benefit of the inhabitants of Leatherhead and District. A substantial part (70%) of the building now houses the Leatherhead Community Association (Charity No. 1142164) whose purpose is to promote these latter activities.
Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for public benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity and in planning future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.
The Trustees have met to conduct business on five occasions during the year. Richard Cunningham of Cunningham Eves of Leatherhead has offered to act as solicitor at cost to the Letherhead Institute.
The Trustees’ meetings are also attended by the Chairperson and Treasurer of the Leatherhead Community Association. This forms a very worthwhile relationship for both charities and ensures co-ordination and co-operation on a wide range of issues.
The Chairman and the Treasurer meet regularly to discuss current matters. There is a part-time administrator and a fulltime caretaker. The decisions relating to expenditure are reported and agreed by the Trustees. Expenditure can be seen, as bookkeeping is kept up to date on a monthly basis and is readily available to all Trustees. Bank balances are noted at each meeting.
Financial review
The year produced a surplus of £22,778 (2024: deficit of £21,599). The performance of the charity is satisfactory to the Trustee's expectations.
Review of activities
In the absence of financial endowment, the Trustees continue to lease seven suites of rooms in the building to tenants in order to provide income for the maintenance of the Institute building and for necessary or desirable improvements, maintenance and running costs. The remaining rooms, including the main Abraham Dixon Hall (able to seat 160 people), the Small Hall, the Library and five other areas, are leased to the LCA. The LCA pays 70% of the expenses in relation to the rooms that they occupy and 70% of the running costs of the lift and the common parts.
Within this reporting period, two of the tenants (Planning Resolution and Radfield Homecare) have relocated within the building (one downsizing and the other upsizing) and we have welcomed a new tenant (Susanna Taggart) who previously was a regular hirer.
Following completion of the restoration works to the front elevation in 2023-2024 (stonework cleaning/repairing, brickwork cleaning/repairing and replacement windows), we now wish to carry out the same works to the return side elevation to the drive. We have obtained competitive quotations for the work, totalling £110k including VAT. We have applied for partial funding via a Community Infrastructure Levy grant from Mole Valley District Council (£50k). Previously, MVDC kindly supported us in the works to the front elevation in the same way.

THE LETHERHEAD INSTITUTE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
The building has a complicated electrical installation due to the way the building has been altered and extended over its lifetime. There are three separate electrical intake positions to the building and a multitude of meters and electrical distribution boards of varying ages scattered around the building. All the distribution boards are being upgraded where necessary to ensure they all have RCD protected circuits. This work has commenced and will continue into the forthcoming year. The work is be carried out sporadically outside normal office hours due to the location of some of the distribution boards within occupied rooms and the requirement to turn off the power. We are grateful to the LCA who have kindly agreed to finance this ongoing work.
The Victorian building continues to require unscheduled repairs and in particular to the 30 year old lift and Victorian drains. These are in addition to any planned maintenance works.
Our caretaker (Max Watson) continues to be an asset liaising with the LI trustees over building maintenance issues and with the office staff of the LCA on the requirements of the day to day hiring of their rooms
By the collaboration with the LCA (Leatherhead Community Association), the Trustees fulfil their own obligations to the community as required by the terms of the Institute’s Trust Deed and enable the LCA to achieve its own charitable objectives
The LCA have a 10 year lease which commenced in May 2017 with a break clause after 5 years requiring 12 months’ notice with a rent of £15,000 per annum. The Covid-19 pandemic commencing in early 2020 severely affected the activities of the LCA to the extent that little income was generated due to shutdowns and the imposition of Government health requirements. Due to the drastic reduction of income of the LCA, the LI trustees agreed that that the five year break clause be replaced by a rolling twelve month notice period. In 2021, there was a gradual returning of their hirers which accelerated through 2022 - 2024 to the extent that the LCA revenues are now in excess of their pre-pandemic levels. The two LCA office staff have worked very hard during the year to attract a diverse range of hirers.
We continue to liaise with the LCA over operational matters. During this year Fran Fleming stepped down as chairperson of the LCA and was replaced by Simon Ritchie. The LI trustees wish to thank Fran Fleming for her contribution in the continuing success of the Letherhead Institute as a valuable community building. Their new chairperson (Simon Ritchie) and treasurer (David Hanson) attend our trustees’ meetings (five a year). In addition, there is regular communication via email with the LCA and their office staff. The co-operation of the Chairman of the LCA and his team of LCA Trustees, was much appreciated and continues as a strong link between the Leatherhead Community Association and the Trustees.
The LCA contract with a commercial firm to carry out the cleaning of all the building except Tenants’ offices. There is a charge from the LCA to the Trustees for this service in respect of the common parts. The Trustees employ the caretaker who lives on site for security reasons in a 2-bed cottage as part of his employment. The LCA contributes towards his salary, pension and NI costs.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Please note that in November 2019 the net assets and operations of the charity were transferred into a new charity of the same name. The old charity (no.1046688) has been closed and the transfer to the new charity (no. 1185057) is complete.
Reserves policy
The Charity has no free reserves apart from the building itself. All surplus monies are committed to ongoing maintenance and restoration projects on the Victorian building.
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The charity was founded on 21 March 1995 and is governed by the Trust Deed sealed on 21 March 1995, and has the registered charity number 1150587. Until that date the Institute had functioned for community charitable purposes under a Trust Deed of 1892 set up under the authority of the Literacy & Scientific Institutions Act 1854.

THE LETHERHEAD INSTITUTE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
Method of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
Risk management
The Trustees have considered the major risks faced by the charity and, after review and evaluation, have ensured that systems are in place to manage these.
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the income and expenditures of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.
Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

THE LETHERHEAD INSTITUTE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Letherhead Institute ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 May 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE LETHERHEAD INSTITUTE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Letherhead Institute meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.4 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Freehold property No depreciation charge Computer equipment - 30%
1.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and 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.
1.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1.9 Financial instruments
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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
