We started the financial year with our Mobility and Retail operations under lockdown and the residential seNices functioning under visitor restrictions. We were delighted when the servi￿$ were able to fulty reopen to Visitors but we continued to implement protective measures to keep people safe and are proud of our record that as of November 2022, we have not had a single death from COVID-19 in our sep4ices. Our success in managing COVID-19 was driven by our dedicated staff members across all of QEF but in particular the residential seprfices who continued to deliver front line care throughout the pandemic. Wrthout this passionate and loyal team, life could have been extremely difficult within these Se￿iCe8. While staying safe was clearly the priorty, supporting mental health and well-being for all was also paramount. Nevertheless, in line with the trend seen nationally, we were impacted by a shortage of support workers. This was exacerbated by a high level of absence due to sickness and seff-isolation. There is no doubt that the pandemic and the operational implications have had an impact on staff and their morale. This was not helped by the introduction of mandatory vaccinations by the government and its subsequent reversal. We are working hard to address the staff shortages, reduce our reliance on agency staff and have implemented a Recruitment and Retention plan. As we entered the final quarter of the year, the winter pressures on the NHS increased considerably. We were pleased to be able to work closely with our NHS partners during this exceptionally difficult time, extending our rehabilitalion offer to support a wider group of patients. While our primary focus remains neuro-rehabilitation, our expertise has allowed us to expand into other pathways. We are proud to have been able to contribute In such a significant way and to have been part of the solution for the NHS during this time. We look forward to further developing our relationship with key NHS partners in 2022-23. We were delighted to open the fourth wing of our Care and Rehabilitation Centre {CRC) with occupancy reaching 88Yo at times. This was a remarkable achievement given the increase in capacity from the previous neuro-rehabilitation facility in Banstead with 17 beds to the state-of-the-art CRC with a capacity of 48. During the year. we developed a new 3-year strategy for 2022-2025. taklng Into account market needs, our strengths and weaknesses, changes within the sector and our wider aims for the organisation. The key pillars of that strategy are to deliver operational excellence; strengthen our business,. and seek innovative and sustainable 501utions. We need to build upon our strengths and consolidate what we do well while operating within our financial constraints. The financial pressures on our organisation remain significant and managing our cash flow and delivering cost reductions throughout the year have been key priorities. We are cognisant of our long-term obligations to the Pension Protection Fund and are grateful for their enabling approach during 2021-22, allowing us to defer an element of the total loan repayments due for the year given the unprecedented circumstances. We also secured a 6-month payment holiday on the C-BILS loan repayments. QEF Queen alzabeth'5 Fovndatlon for Dlsabl•d P•ople Looking ahead, we are aware of the need to strengthen OUT financial position further to provide protection against inflationary pressures and an uncertain outlook for fundraising. The cost-of-living crisis and high-profile international causes appear to be impacting donations to local charities in recent months. We were delighted to return to INe events and conferences during the year, in particular the visit by the Countess of Wessex in June 2021 to fomially open the CRC. Other highlights include the visit by Sir Edward Guinness to the CRC in June 2022 and the Mobility Open Day to celebrate its 401h anniversary in October 2022. We are ever 9rateful to all our supporters and volunteers for their commitment, time and fundraising efforts. In particular, we would like to thank the Edward Guinness Appeal CoMm￿ee for their support over the last few years as this campaign starts to draw to close. INhile fundraising is not due to finish until February 2023, the bulk of the money for the CRC has been raised. We would also Ilke to extend our gratitude to the Trustees for their unwavering support, commitment, and guidance throughout the year. Your efforts are much appreclated. We are proud of our achievements over the last 12 months, how the workforce demonstrated the QEF values of everyone matters, everyone works together. and everyone makes a differen￿. As we move into the next financial year, we are focused on implementing the new strategy and will endeavor to meet any new challenges that arise. There may be changes to the organisation as the strategy is rolled out, but these changes will be managed sensliively. Our primary aim is to improve accessibilty, promote independence and enable people that we support reach their potential.

Staff at the centre were delighted to be able to hold the annual open day event in March 2022, the first since the pandemic. to which QEF welcomed the Minister of State for Transport, Wendy Morton. VASD The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the closure of the slte at Leatherhead Court where VASD was located, and where the sale and hire of aids and equipment was previously provided. The operation of providing advice and mobility equipment hire has now been pemianently relocated to the QEF Mobilty Centre at Carshalton. VASD continues to provide an accessible holiday home in West Sussex for hire by individuals and families with disabilities who require specialist facilities such as profiling beds.

QEF Tradlng Llrnited QEF charity shops continue to sell a variety ofdonated goods and fumiture, greatly helping QEF raise awareness and contributing to income in unrestricted funds. At the yearaend, there were 16 charity shops in and around Surrey (2021: 19). QEF Qu¢•n Ellzabelh's Foundallon for Dlsabled People Due lo the COVID-19 pandemic, all of the charity shops were closed at the start of the year and re-opened for trade when government restrictions pemiitted. During the enfOr￿d closures, all of the staff were furloughed with ￿ndS available from the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The financial impact of the closures was partly miiigated by income re￿iVed from the govemmenvs Retail Hospitality and Leisure Grant (RHLG) fund. E&P Engagement and Partnershlps (Fundralslng) The Engagement and Partnerships team had been optimistic for 2021-22, all the signs were that we were 'getting back to normal life, which would enable us reinvigorate our events programmes which had been affected drastically during 2020-21. The effects of the pandemic, however, continued throughout the year. To mitigate this, 2022 saw QEF supporters undertake a huge range of different activities lo raise funds for our vital work. Together, they donated a total of £2.7m (for QEF and its subsidiaries) in 2021-22, up on 2020-21 and 2019-20. This included £799,000 in legacies from many generous supporters who lefl QEF gifts in their wills. As ever, we are grateful to all our kind supporters without whom QEF could not continue to run. The Events Team was dellghted to be able to run Ilve events again. October 2021 saw our first live event, with the Autumn Ladies, Lunch which was closely followed by our flagship event, Guinness & Oysters, at Mansion House. Both events raised similar amounts to pre-pandemic years. Unfortunately, one event planned for February had to be postponed due to the Omnicron outbreak but we were able to go ahead with the Rugby Legends Dinner in March 2022. This event had been postponed three times but, despite various challenges. It ralsed 8 Staggering net £125,000. QEF complies with sector best practice. During 2021-22, all fundraising was conducted by a tearn of employed fundraisers. QEF monitors and manage5 its fundraising regulation and compliance through a combination of training programrnes, internal processes and quarterly management reporting. This includes the collection and use of personal data, frequency of contact, how to identlfy vulnerable people, as well as compliance and regulatory requirernents. QEF Is registered with the Fundraising Regulator, Peoplo The pandemic has had a huge impact on the workforce over the last 12 months. Employees have had to continue to adjust to the rapidly changing circumstances of the government requirements to keep our employees, residents and clients safe. The implementation of mandatory vaccinations and the removal of the 'Right to Work. In the UK for many of our European employees due to the implementalion of Brexit had a detrimental impact on employee retention and wellbeing. It became apparent during the year that some of our employees well-being had been impacted from either contracting the virus andlor working in such unexpected and emergency practices for a prolonged period. Covid related ill health was the top reason for sickness absence in the last year closely followed by stress, anxiety and metal health issues, a pattern that has been seen across the sector nationally. 10 QEF Qveen Efizab•lh's Foundalion lor Dlsabled People Due to national staff shortages, recruitment and retention has been the key priority. As we move into the next financial year, it will be vital to ensure Ihat our pay and reward remain competitive to aid recruitment and implementing retentlon strategies. This will help us reduce our reliance on interim and agency staff. Volunteering QEF'S volunteers Iraditionally have represented an older demographlc. Following the challenges of the global pandemic, understandably there was a real hesitancy to return lo volunteering within our services and in particularly in retail. We have seen dedicated volunteers within operational services who have remained with QEF supporting our employees, clients and residents throughout COVID-19. QEF currently has 209 volunteers who participate supporting the QEF group on a regular basis. The most popular areas for volunteering are our front facing services with 127 in our retail establishments and 44 in our operational services. We are ever thankful for the diverse skills and experience, and 5UPPOrt that these dedicated volunteers bring to QEF. COVID-19 Command Structure Ensuring the safety of the people we support and staff has been a continuing challenge this year. Having a Gold, Silver, and Bronze command structure in place from the start of the pandemic has ensured that the services have complied with government's guidance and that the impact of COVID 19 has been minimised on the people we support. LOOKING FORWARD Understanding and determining the future dlrectlon for QEF is key to the organisatlon's sustalnability and success. We need to consolidate what we do well, look for potential opportunities and articulate our future offers in what is a complex and changing extemal environment. The previous strategy was for the period 2016-2021. Where appropriate. elements have been used as the springboard on which lo build the new strategy for 2022 onwards and assist in identifying the changes that have taken place across the disabllity marketslsectors and develop the work programme.

Excluding these grants, income from charitable activities including two subsidiaries was £8.4m {2021- £6.8m). Total charitable expenditure in the year was £10.1m (2021- £8.6m) resulting in a shortfall of £1.7m. Commercial operations delivered a net operating income of £0.3m in 2022, a significant Improvement on the loss incurred in prior year of £0.7m, when trading was adversely affected by shop closures due to COVID19. The net profit was bolstered by net income from fundraising and other activities of £1 .8m, which coupled with the government grants, resulted in an overall net operating surplus of £1m. The net movement In funds was £1.1 m afier a £0.1 m adjuslment to the discounting of the loan term PPF liability. This total movement in funds comprised an increase in unrestricted reserves of £1 m along with a £0,1 m increase in restricted reseNes. Cash flow Net cash from operating activities was £0.6m. After fixed asset additions of £0.4m, the Group was left with an overall net cash inllow of £0.2m which increased the year-end cash position to £1.6m {2021- £1.4m). Balan¢• 8he•t The Group balance Sheet shows net assets, excluding long-term debt, of £24.5m (2021: £24.Om). Fixed assets broadly remained at the sarne level as some older equlpment was replaced. Long-temi liabilltles reduced to £13.6m at 31 March 2022 (2021.. £14.3m) and include amounts due under the PPF and CBILS loan agreements of £13.Om and of £0.6m respectivety. The PPF loan is a long-term liability whlch will not crystallise In the short to mid-temi. Unlike the previous penslon scheme deficit, this loan amount is fixed and the loan repayments are also fixed and affordable. The amount outstanding at 31 March 2022. Is £24.6m. This has been discounted over the 30 year-temi at 40/0 to arrive at an amortised cost of £13.6m at 31 March 2022 of which £0.6m is due within one year and £13m is due after one year. The amount outstanding under the CBILS loan agreement is £0.7m of which £0.1m is due within one year. The net current asset positlon improved to £0.4m (2021- £0.1 m) at 31 March 2022. Overall. the Group balance sheet shows net assets of £10,9m at 31 March 2022 (2021: £9.8m). 15 QEF Queen Ellzabeth's Foundatlon for Dlsabled Peoplè Going concern The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns continued to have a signfficant impact on the financial position of QEF throughout 2022" affecting income from fundraising activities and commercial operations, and resulting in increased costs in seN[￿ delivery. The financial impact was mitigated by prompt action undertaken to utilise all government support available. In addition to the challenges presented by COVID-19, QEF have also been impacted by the well docurnented shortage of support workers and nurses across the industry. As a consequence, there has been a need to rety on agency workers lo cover the shortfall which has significantly increased staffing costs. As we entered the new financial year, this increase in cost base was compounded by other inflationary cost pressures including an unprecedented rise in uts'lity bills. QEF continue to look at ways to address support staff and nursing shortages and reduce the cost of agency staff. Managing cash Ilow and ensuring strong cost control remain key priorities, The trustees recognise that the cost pressures pose a significant challenge to the organisation and acknowledge the actions whlch are being taken to mitigate the impact of these. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a r8asonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concem basis in preparing its financial statements. While the services and subsidiaries operated at a deficit, V￿ are developlng plans to retum to an operating surplus in the short term and have sufficient free reserves to cover modest deficits in the intervening period. Other potential risks to QEF'S future include reductlons in government and publlc sector funding. QEF could be exposed to this by receiving less income from the Department for Transport at our Mobilty Centre or reduced Health and Social Care funds being available for clienvresident placements at ILS and the CRC from local authorities and CCGS. However, this is constantly being monitored, QEF is working lo ensure that new revenue streams are being developed to minimise this risk. Reserves pollcy The reserves policy is detemiined after assessing the caprtal requirements, considering the nature and timing of income and expenditure streams and by reviewing the specific business risks identified through the risk management process. The Board of Trustees aims to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves not tied up in fixed assets, which it believes will be sufficient to ensure the operational viability of the charity. The unrestricted fund balance at the year*nd was £10.2m (2021-£9.1m). including fixed assets of£23.7m and a £13.6m long-temi liabiliiy to the Pension Protection Fund. 16 QEF Queen Ellzobth's Found¢Jllon lor Dl$abled Peopl• The Board of Trustees is also mindful that at a time of uncertainty in Government funding it may require sufficient reserves to maintain sep4ices for a limited period if funding ceased or contracts were cancelled. The Board of Trustees has concluded that given the economic environment its. seniices operate within (especially adult social care placements funding) and the reliance on fundraising income that the level of free reserves at the year- end should be six months, worth of unrestricted operating expenditure. Based on 202112022 results this would be circa £6.1 m. As well as the unrestricted reserves described above, QEF also held £804k (2021: £668k) of restricted reseNes at 31 March 2022. Investment pollcy In view of the likely requlrement for accessible cash over the next fve years, the Board of Trustees has decided lo continue Its policy of holding Investments in cash deposts. 17 QEF Queen Ellzabeth'$ Fovndallon for Dlsabled Peopl• STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES The Trustees (who are also directors of QEF for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financia5 statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generalty Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company (and the group) and of the incoming reSoUr￿S and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charitab￿ group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistentty: observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP., make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements., and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeplng proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply wrth the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company (and the Group) and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities, In so far as the Trustees are aware: there is no relevant audlt Information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial infomiation included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. APPROVAL OF TRUSTEE REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON 29 NOVEMBER 2022 E J Denning Director CHARITY NO. 251051 COMPANY REGISTRATION NO. 00892013 18 **QEF Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People** ## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF QUEEN ELIZABETH’S FOUNDATION FOR DISABLED PEOPLE** ## **Opinion** We have audited the financial statements of Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries(the ’group’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated and Group Company Balance Sheets, the Group Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group’s 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 the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 group’s and parent charitable 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 trustees 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 contained in the annual report. 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. 19 **QEF Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People** 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 course of 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 themselves. 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. ## **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 group and parent charitable company and their 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: - the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the parent charitable company’s 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. ## **Responsibilities of trustees** As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 18, 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 group and parent 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 group or parent 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 20 **QEF Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People** 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. 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 group and parent 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 group and parent 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 group or parent 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. - Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit report. 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. ## **Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 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. 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 21 **QEF Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People** 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 charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. - 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. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. ## **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 charitable company's members those matters which 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. ## **Neil Finlayson (Senior Statutory Auditor) for and on behalf of Moore Kingston Smith LLP** **Chartered Accountants Statutory Auditor** Date: 5 December 2022 9 Appold Street London EC2A 2AP 22 QEF Queen s1za￿th.$ Foundallon for Dl$obl•d People GROUP BALANCE SHE AS AT 31 MARCH 2022 COMPANY REGIrnTION NO. 00892013 GROUP 1022 £ooo' QEF 2Q21 £OOO's 2022 Éooo. 2021 £OOO'¥ FfxED ASSErs Tangbè Ftrxed Assets Jntangbk Fk¥ed Assets Investments 24.120 1741 24,047 1981 23,311 23,237 24,046 23,949 24,341 24,267 CURRENT ASSErs Stocks Debtors Investments Cash at bank and h hand 96 1,692 33 80 1,246 24 1,636 27 1.462 20 948 2.430 3,401 2.727 2,664 CURRENT LIABitriES C￿dknrS - amounts tsllng due wthkn one ye•r 241 CURRENT ASSErs 446 724 TOTAL ASSEfs LESS CURRENT UABLMES Credtor5 - amounts fallThJ due after more than one yeor 21 (13,6071 (14.2721 113,601) 114,2391 NEf ASSETS In(knlbv4 p•Mknn •¢hme Il•bMIty ACCUMUL4TeD FUNDS Re5trkted Funds Unrestrkted Funds Total Accumulsted Funds 715 668 337 316 io The finJnclg1 statements on pages 23 to 43 were approved aThJ authortsed for dbtrbvtbn by the Board of Trustees onl b￿and We￿ s¥Jned on *'5 trRhalf by: E J Dennlng Chalman of the 8oard of Trustees 23 QEF Queen Ellzabeth's Foundotlon for Dlsabled People CONSOLIDATED STATEMW OF FW4CNL A INCORPOK4ThG THE ]NCOME AND EXPENDThURE ACCOUMT APID STATrIENT OF RECOGNJSED GAf4S AND LOSS FOR THE YFOA bVDED 31 MAR¢H2022 2022 2022 2022 2021 2021 2021 Urrntrkted R¢•trhXed TOTAL Unro8tr**ed Resttkted TOTAL £ooo' £ooo' £ooo' £OOO'* £OOO'• £DOO'% INCOME ijoriatb Legac*s comme￿*1 TrndivJ Operntb Fundratslng Events Incorne from property Investment Income Bank kntsre$t recefvab Other 1,161 799 2,622 188 456 1,617 799 2,622 308 28 I,iii 662 2,403 85 29 329 1,440 662 2.403 109 29 120 24 li 37 4,846 37 5A22 32 4,327 32 4,680 576 353 Incomkrf re8ourtt• from th•rlt•bkn adkTllbb•i Nturo-Reh8bltatbn Serv*es Independent Servtes Moblvty Servkes Accessf0￿ Avthtbn Vokjntary Asso¢.
