Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August2021 Goodenough College Chairman's Personal Welco]ne l am delighted to inlroduce this Annual Report and Financial Statements for the seventeen months ending 31 August 2021, a period during which we saw the arrival of a new College Director, the Honourable Walpole OBE, to repla Ms Rebecca Matthews. I would like to pay tribute to Ms Matthews for her commitment to the College during her tenure. Prior to joining us on 12 April 2021. Ms Walpole served as United Nations Assistant Secretsry General in Iraq, before which she enjoyed a long and distinguished career with the Foreign and Commonwealth Offi. Ms Walpole's skills, energy and enthusiasm are evident in abundance and I look forward to continuing to work with her in steering the College through the challenges imposed by the global COVID pandemic and on to a successful and financially secur8 future. During the reporting period, y faced unprecedented challenges. Collega life was materially restricted by the pandemic and. in common with many other organisations, we had to make difficult decisions in the face of declining income. Our hotel closed,. our rental income diminished as a result of signtficanlly reduced Member occupancy., our short stay and sabbatical business suspended for 2020 and extemal events were Canlled or postponed. Despite all of those pressures, our Members maintained an extraordinarily positive attituda. helping each other and our broad community in the best traditions of the College. Given the challenges they fad, they showed remarkable spirit, strong values and visible commitment to facing the daily challenges together and to making the mosl of the situation they were in. I hope that they consider themselves fortunate to have been at Goodenough College during the pandemic rather than in a less supportive environment. The impact of the pandemic was also keenly felt by our staff. especially during the lockdown periods. Some agreed to move into the College,. some moved to working from home., under the Government's Coronamrus Job Retention Scheme. some were placed on furlough" and we had lo make the dtfficult decision to say farewell to others of our staff who had been employed lo manage and operate the now-closed hotel. Throughout this, our employed staff remained admirably focused on what was best for the College and its Members, as did our contracted stsff from Holroyd Howe, CBRE and ESS, vtho. alongside our Reception team. have provided a séamless Servi to us al5. Our staff ensured that we were able to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for our Members under extremely difficult circumstances. Major achievements included the provision of an exPtIOnal programme of intellectual, cultural and social events largely online,. enhanGed welfare seNces' and effective hygiene measures that resulted in a very low Inciden of infection. On beha of the Board of Trustees, I would like to pay tribute lo all our Members and staff for their fortitude during this period, and for their commitment to the College and to each other.
Goodenoush College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 Use of The Bum, our Scottish academic rotreal, was also severely restricted during the reporting period although, later in that period. it proved a valuable amenity for College Members and guests looking lo escape Ihe confines of their lockdown location. The Burn remains indebted lo its dedicated team of slaff for their conslruclive approach during a difficult Irading period, and to the many Scottish universities and their representatives who continué to support the venue and are planning io return soon. l am happy to report that, following an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion {EDI) review of Ihe College in late 2020. the Board approved the establishment of an EDI Advisory Committee, with broad stakeholder representation, to identify and deliver measures to maximise diversity al the College. We are committed to ensuring that we are able to maintain momentum and progress in this area. Though the financial impact of Ihe pandemic on the College has been significant, the College's solid financial base has enabled us lo maintain liquidity and a stable budgetary position. Reassuringly, occupancy ratès forthe 2021-22 academic yearare at maximum levels. Though substantially poorer post-pandemic, the College's ambitions for future growth and improvement remain. In particular, our plans to renovate 43-47 Mecklenburgh Square will continue lo be developed, despite the loss of the funds set aside for this project. We will look to our kind supporters and to the capital markets lo realise that ambition On conditions allow. Finally, I would like to pay warm tribute to my predecessor. Mr Eric Tracey, who stepped down in October 2020 after fifteen years on the Board of the College and a professional association wilh the College stretching back to 1980. 1 am delighted that Eric remains with us as Emeritus Governor and conlinL*es to be a generous supporter of the College. Eric is a wonderful colleaguè and his knowledge of the College and his wise couns81 have been greatly appreciated. vlyi _ Stuart Shilson LVO DL Chair of the Board 25 January 2022

Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 The history of what is now Goodenough College began in 1930 when Frederick Craufurd Goodenough, Chaimian of Barclays Bank. established the first student residence in London for international postgraduate studenls. Goodenough's then vtsion was the creation of a hall of reSideTr for male students from Commonweallh countries. offering a collegiate setting in the heart of London to enhan intemational understanding and prevent sludents from feeling isolated in the capital. The College has expanded greatly since that time and now consists of a community of postgraduates from any county worldwide. The College's charitable objects, as set oui in its Memorandum and Articles of Association, are.. The objects for which the College is estsblished are to organise, encourage and assist the education in England of students {'Residenl Members of the College.) from any part of the world, giving preferen to students from the Commonwealth (wilh priority for students from those nations less able from time to time to provide resources and facilities of their own}. Now, looking to the future, we will continue to build upon these strong foundations to achieve our current vision and mission.. ]sion A fellowship of global citizens with shared values of tolerance, respect, understanding, service and togetherne&8 (reflecting the spirit of the UK and the pnnciples of the Commonwealth). Mission To create a stimulating, inclusive and mutually sUptive, re&dential communty in the heart of London where outstanding postgraduate students exchange ideas, openly debale values and fom7 lasting friendships. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the College was forced to delay the implernentation of its 202Lk2025 Strategic Plan, the key objectives of Ihe plan are to: Enhance the Resident Member's experience to deliver our Mission and maximise thè charitable benefrt we deliver. Recruit (especially Commonwealth) Members who will benefit most from what we offer and best conlribule to the life of the College. Build a stronger fellowship of Alumni and other5 closely associated wtth the College. These three key objectives are underpinned by seven enabling objectives, which will help the College to achieve its ambilions. As part of the 202[2025 strategic planning prosS, a new set of values were agreed for the College, which are tolerance, respect, understanding? sersryce and togetherness.
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strdtegic Report for the 17 months ended 31 August 2021 values that have always been part of the Goodenough experien. These values are fvrther articulated by the College's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Adwsory Committee. The College presents its 2020121 expandilure in pursuit of the following previously adopted strategic goals= To attract outstanding postgfaduate students from a wide geographic, academic and social base giving Preferen to those from the Commonwealth,. To transfomi College Members through the experience of living in a values-based community which inspires intellectual engagement and endeavour. encourages cross- cultural understanding and offers an exceptional social environment,. To raise the College profile, intemationally and within the UK. by developing key opportunities and pursuing strategic partnerships consistent with our values and ambitions; and To suslain the College as an enduring institution which is underpinned by secure finanS, a well-maintained estate and high-quality staff, with a commitmenl to minimising its 8nwronmental impact. The College measures its perfornian through Key Perfomiance Indicators {KPlsl that assess the success in the reporting period compared to prior years. These KPIS cover areas inGluding ocGupancy'. diversity of membership-, numbers of cultural. social. sporting and educats'onal events- numbers and levels ofscholarships and Bursaries. and numberofAlumni ontacts. Further information is containe(J within the Financial Review and Achievemènts and perfornan. The College serves over 40 of the academic and professional institutions in London. It maintains a balance between the broad facullies of medicine and natural sciences, law, business. political and social sCienS and the arts and humanities. The College attracts scholars from a wide range of intemational schemes including Chevening, Fulbright, Commonwealth and Marshall. The College prowdes a wide public benefit. The Trustees are aware of and have regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. College Members retum to their home nations or elsewhere with a broadened perspective on the wodd and a much-expanded knowledge of and affection for the cultures and politi of the UK. This contribution to inlemational lolerance and understanding serves an even greater purpose in todals world of political and economic uncertainty. The College frames its distinctive domestic paradigm through the vectors of 'commensality' and 'convivialiV- common eating and common limng. The experience of College Members is framed entirely residentially and together they negotiate the joys and the trials, the ups and the downs, of lrfe. Members engage in many intellectual, social, experiential and developmental actiwties. 'Port talks. where esteemed and intemationally renowned individuals lecture and share knowledge and lrfe experience are a regularfealure ofthe College calendar. A series of'GoodSkills' weeks also take pla to refine the non-academic skills base of College Members. In shori, College Members work, play and dine amongst a broad spread of social,
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August2021 national and economic backgrounds, developing und6rstandirwJ and empathy across a wde spectrum of experience within a rich peer group. An extemal 'representstion' programme is additionally coordinated by the College staff lo enable College Members to grow their capacity for fluenl nelworking across a range of extemal institutions in the Cities of London and Westminster and beyond. The College seeks to secure and provide an increasing level of Scholarships and Bursaries to support those who stwggle to meet the costs of their accommodation at the College. The College adapted the application of 'commensality' and 'conviviality' in light of the restrictions of the COVID-19 global pandemic, but our Members who were with us during this b'me reported that they still felt part of a warm supportive community, albeit much of it wrtual. In nomial limes The Bum, our Scottish academic retreat and holiday centre actively supports Scottish universities and offers its facilities to national and intemational students and study groups. Serving to enhance the leaming experience. The Bum also and wÈll often organise events to bring the academic and local communities together. The Bum has been closed to the public during much of the pandemic. but has continued to play a key role in supporting th& local community through the provision of meals to isolated individuals. As restrictions eased over the summer. the College also took the opportunity to arrange four pasloral trips to The Bum for Members who had been with us throughout the pandemic. The provided a valuable opportunity for them to relax amongst their peers. build friendships and tske pleasure in the natural world. The College is also normally open to the public for concerts, operas, conferences and lectures. A large number of extemal organisations and individuals also use the College's facilities for their own events and activtties. but again much of this has been curtailed during the pandemic. The College also works in partnership with a number of organisations that share the College's aims such as Cara (the Council for At-Risk Academics), Windle Inlemational. Chevening and SOAS University of London. ACHIEVEMETh AND PERFORMANCE During the extended 17 month period of 2020121 College life was materially damaged by the global COVID-19 pandemic. This significantly o)nstrained the College's ability to provide a vibrant and transfomiative College experience to Members.. the primary focus being on securing the wellbeing, health and welfare of the College community that remained on the Square. College Member occupancy reduced to less than 50 /0 of the normal level, and the College programme of physical events was suspended. with resident Members confined to their rooms during the official national lockdown. Following the initial lockdown in March 2020 all but core staff worked from home, until retuming in Ihe majorrty frotn September 2021. Core operational and welfare se[wS were maintained on site throughout the pandemic. After government enforced dosure from March 2020 the hotel remained closed until 4 July 2020, re-opened briefly until 5 November. but has since remained closed awaiting a major bedroom refurbishment. Commercial events were predominanlly Canlled or postponed, and the short slay and sabbatical business was suspended for 2020, retuming to a lesser degree in 2021 generating just 20% of 2019 summer revenue. 10-
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 This situation severely IrtalIed Ihe College's ability to deliver its core Charilable aims and led to an operating deficit of £3m in the period, a shortfall of £6.4m against nomial operations. This has curtailed the College's ability to apply Ihe College Development Reserve in pursuit of its development ambition with a further £3.7m of the £7.6m reserve held al 1st April 2020 diverted to support core operations and contributions to the Assel Replamen1 Plan. In common with many other organisations. the College had to make drfficult decisions in the face of dedining income. To help manage the situation. we made use of the Govemment's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRI and furtoughed staff who were not required to run our essential sermces during this period. In total the College reiVed £492k in payments from the Government CJR Scheme and £81k in olher pandemic grants. The Strategic Plan published in January 2020 was suspended following the pandemic and is now subject to further consideration following the change in College leadership from May 2021. The College's 'Commemorative Biennium, was abandoned in April 2020. The statement of Financial Activities shows 2020121 College charitable expenditure against the same strategic goals as prior years. The impact on Members is a growth in Confiden through their experience at Goodenough College. with broadened perspectives, strong cultural. social and professional neorkS and a positive image of the UK and the Cofflmonwealth. Supported by Ihis growth we expect our Alumni to be outstanding leaders in their fields. engaged global atizens and advocates of the College. The independent study commissioned by the College in 2019 to quantify the impact of the College's Scholarship and Bursary programme on the Membership concluded that for every £1 invested into the Goodenough College programme and facilities, £2.04 is returned in social value created. This is a healthy retum particularfy given that part of the inveslment required lo make outwmes happen involves buildings costs as well as programme costs. The report also concludes that overall postgraduate students have an overwhelmingly positive experien and that the College is creating substantial impact for its stakeholders. We will consider how this study may influence our work going forward. During 2020121 £10.5m (2020.. £7.4m) was spent againsl the goal of 'Transfoming College Members,, reflecting the operating costs of the College buildings (that so influence College lifel alongside the influential Dean's programme. The increase on the prior year is predominantly due to the extended 17 month period. The Dean's programme for the full extended 2020121 academic year delivered (including member led activities) 17 sporting fixiures.. 72 cultural. music and arts events, most of them delivered online- 153 evening lecture 'Port Talks,, trdnsfomiative skills based sessions (the 'GoodSkills' programmesl and academic occasions. 112 of them delivered wholly online. As may be seen from the above. the extreme phyEical restrictions created by the pandemic fOrd much of the extended Academic year's programme to migrate to the online space, with a consequent drop in Member participation. A restricted physical programme was devaloped wherever possible and resulted in 50 OLrtdoor educational actimties, chiefly a series of'Dean's Perambulations, around London and the Home Counties. The Dean's Office carried out an extensive and tailored programme of actiwties to support indiwdual Member wellbeing through the lockdowns. 11
Goodenough College Trustees. Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 During 2020121 Ihe College maintsined its accreditation against the National Code for Assured Accommodation, which demonstrales the College's commitment to the highesl standards in delivering its accommodation and supporting its community. The College sought to follow all government guidan throughout the pandemic, and was in regular contacl wth Public Health England and the London Coronavirus Response Cenlre. The College received posilive feedback on the College's Outbreak Plan and f(s actions to minimise infections within Ihe College Community. The activities of The Bum provided a different (but no less imporlanl} experience for the students attending activities al this venue, funded from its restricted fund. The Bum's work continued to form ever closer and more effective bonds wth Scottish Universities. Though the use of The Bum was severely restricted by the impact of the pandemic. it was well guided by its Universityslakeholders throughout the period. The Bum prowded an ever more valuable facility for College Members and guests. during times when foreign travel was severely restricted.

The subsidiary companies were severely impacted by the closure of ServIS and the downtum in the marf(el described above. The companies generated combined losses of £659k. These losses have been supported by a combination of historically accumulated assets within Goodenough Club Ltd and the provision of £0.1 m of net debt arrangements by the College to GoodenoLtgh Ventures Limited.

The perfomiance of th8 investment porifolios and the inveslment manager is reviewed regulady by the College's Investment Committee and the Trustees continue to be satisfied with their management and the perfornance of the funds over the long temi. All investments acquired during the year were in accordance with Trustees, powers. The Value of Ihe portfolio at 31 August 2021 is shown in note 11. Worknng through the Investment Committee and with its investment managers the Trustees continue to review the investment Performan and strategies of its funds under investment as the College's financial perfomiance, reserve position and capital ambition develops. Funds and reserves The College's reserves are diwded belween unrestricted and restricted funds. Unraslricted funds are further divided into designated and other unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds total £141.Om (2020.. £142.6m), vthich includes designated reserves of £132.4m (2020.. £133.5m), general funds of the charity of £8.5m (2020.. £8.5m) and general funds of the subsidiaries of £0.1 m (2020: £0.7m). See Notes 16 and 17 for further details. The Trustees have designated the value of the College's non-inveslment fixed assets {nel of funding from the long-term loan) as the Tangible Fixed Asset reserve. The value of this reserve is adjusted annually to reflect the nel value of these assets and stands at £116.8m at the year-end {2020= £118.5ml. The Truslees have designated the value of the College's investment properties {recognising the College's strategy to retain investment properties for the benefit of future beneficiaries) as the Investment Property Reserve at £3.5m {2020= £3.2m). reflecting the revaluation of the investment properties at the balance sheet dale and the sale of the freehold of 12-13 Mecklenburgh Square under enfranchisement in February 2021. 15-
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 During 2016 the College established a long temi foretxst, which enabled the College to agree a revised framework for the management of its unrestricted funds and to quantify the level of liquid assets required to sustain the College as an enduring institution. The College has established a plan to ensure that SLrficient levels of cash are available lo secure a well maintained estate. This established the requirement for an Asset Replacement Reserve {ARR) to support the costs identified for the replacement and refurbishment of the buildings. fixtures, fittings and equipment of London House. William Goodenough House and Ihe hotel over a 30-year period to 2046. The required value of this fund was agreed to be designated from the available funds accumulated by the College from annually generaled operating surpluses and drawn down against relevant costs. In light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemi¢ on the College and Hotel financial performan the Trustees designated an additional sum of £1.4m into the ARR, representing the ARR contribution that would have been generated by the College and Hotel under nomial operations over the 17 months of 2020121. After debiting appropriate asset replacement expenditure and accounting for income. gains and losses, the value of the ARR stands al £7.5m on 31 August 2021 {2020'. £4.Om). TheTrustees will review the value ofthis designated fund annually as il accumulates and is utilised for Assel Replacement. The ARR is represented by investment funds wth investment mandates las overseen by the Investment Committee) matching the investment objectives and horizons of this reserve. Following the completion of the debt restructuring exercise in June 2017. the Trustees designated £11.9m of funds secured in excess of thal required to settle the previous long lenn loan and swap arrangements, as a designated fund referred lo as the College Development Reserve {CDRI. The Trustees originally aimed to apply these additional funds, secured at a 3.102 % interest rate, lo take opportunities to further develop the College's activities and its estate over future years. The CDR is represented by investmenl funds with an investment mandate (as overseen by the Investment Committee) matching the investment objectives and horizons of this reserve. This fund bore the interest cost of this excess bOowing. During 2020121 the Board approved the redirection of funds held within the CDR in support of shortfalls in College surpluses to maintain the value of the College's General Funds (its freely available reserve} and to maintsin the prewously planned contribution to the Asset Replacement Reserve. Having released £3m of the CDR to the General Funds as at 31 March 2020 (in anticipation of the 'least worst, scenario of the crisis on the College), Trustees undesignated a further £3.7m of the College Development Reserve as at 31 August 2021. With £6.7m of CDR funds redirected for this purpose. the total value of the support proded from the CDR to mitigate the impact of the pandemic fell short of the uppennost scenario anticipated in the 2019120 accounts of £7.4m. On 4 March 2021 the Board also approved the allocation funds from the College Development Reserve to fund the refurbishment of the hotel's 65 bedrooms planned for 2021122. On 21 July 2021 the Board approved an allocation of £1.9m to be made from the CDR in support of the budgeted 2021122 shortfall of College and hotel surpluses against nomal operations. lo further maintain the value of the College's General Funds (its freely available reserve) and the prewously planned contribution to the Asset Rep1arnent Reserve. The value of the CDR stands at £4.3m on 31 August 2021 (2020: £7.6m). On 22 December 2021 the College signed a contract with a contractor to carry out works to refurbish the hotel's bedrooms. The value of the contract remains commercially confidential, but the Trustees are confident that the value of the CDR is in excess of that required to provide for the hotel project and the budgeted 2021122 shortfall.
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strdtegic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 The Trustees have revtewed the College's reserves policy. The policy considers the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match variable income with fixed commitments and the need to provide for known essential estste maintenance expenditure. To allow the College to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interrupted semces, the policy requires that general reserves in the range from £5 million £8 million should be maintained. This range is based on managing to sustain core College actiwty if there were a fall in Member income of 250h for three years {c£5 million) and a loss of 50P/o of Goodenough on Mecklenburgh Square net revenue for tr40 years {c£2 million). In addition, minimum of £1 million is considered necessary lo deal with major estate issues. such as a failure of heating, plumbing or electrical SerwS in either House. In light of the financial impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Trustees have resolved to seek lo secure additional funds lo further secure the College from any future pandemic and its actimties thereafter. Trustees will balance a tsrget increase in reserves against the developing post pandemic 8conomiG environment. The Trustees have therefore resolved to seek additional borrowing to prowde replacement funding for the hotel bedrooms refurbishment and to release such funds and any further unallocated balan of the College Development Reserve against the College's freely available funds. as such become available. The College reserve investrnent fund was £8.2m on 31 August 2021 (2020.. £9.3m). Aftèr taking account of other balanS within the College's general funds. the College's freely available funds, stand at £8.5m on 31 August 2021 (2020: £8.5m, see note 17 for more details). The Trustees have assessed the value of reserves and the operations of the College, and the remaining impact of COVID-19, and do not consider that there remain material UnrtaIntieS related to these or other events or conditions that cast signrficant doubt on the College's ability to continue as a going concem. The College remains very financially stable with freely available funds of £8.5m,' other unrestricted designated reserve funds of £12.1m and unrestricted investment properties valued at £3.5m. The Board has recognised that it is no longer able to provide for the refurbishment of 43-47 Mecklenburgh Square from wthin the College Development Resetve. these funds hawng been redirected to support operating shortfalls as a result of the pandemic and its ongoing impact. The Board has resolved to seek further borrowing to support ils ambition for Ihe site where such ambition cannot be met from the generous contributions from its donors, when such borrowing is available lo Ihe College on commercially attractive terms. The ongoing risks of holding 43-46 Mecklenburgh Square as vacant properties over an extended period have been mitigated through arrangements for their occupation by property guardians. The College conlinues to develop its plans for the site under the guidan of its Steering Committee. The Truslees have established a designated fund to support the refurt)ishment of 43-47 Mecklenburgh Square from those funds already generated diredy in support of Ihat project. This fund stood at £250k at 31st August 2021. Other designated reserves include funds donated to the College for 'greatest need, and were fully allocated against College aclimties during 2020121. 17-
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Slrategie Report for the 17 months ended 31 August2021 RestrACted funds are represented by assets and investments that can only be used or spent for a particular purpose as stated by the donors. The total value at 31 st August 2021 was £12.7m (2020.. £12.3m). See Note 16 forfurther details. Restricted funds include The Bum Fund of £12.1 m (2020". £11.9m) and other restricted funds of £0.6m (2020.. £0.4m}.

The general restricted fund is represented by The Bum investment porfolio. The other restricted funds have been donated to the College for a number of restricted purposes including restricted Scholarships and Bursaries funds of £582k {2020.' £306kl. The College has adopted a policy lo increase the level of support to ils important Scholarships and Bursaries activity provided through donations. Expenditure on Scholarships and Bursaries from restricted or designated donated funds rose again to £490k12020.' £214k) in the year. Borrowin&s and bank faci]ities On 2 June 2017, the College secured a £40m non-amortising 30-year loan with Rothesay Lrfe al a fixed inleresl rate of 3.102°A. The loan is secured against London House and William Goodenough House. During 2020121 the loan Agent completed a iriennial market valuation of the loan security which, due lo a 330h in the value of the security, redUd the Loan lo Value from 26.4Yr* lo 19.8%. The College holds a £250,000 overdraft facility with Barclays Bank. Principal risks and uncertainties To optimise the College's management of risk, College Govemors and staff are briefed on the nature of risk and accept responsibility for risks associated wilh their area of authority. Senior management provides appropriate support. assistance and commitment to ensure that both operational and strategic risk is managed on a daily basis to the besl of the College's ability- This risk management prOsS provides reasonable. but not absoluté, assuran that the organisation is protected. We define key strategic and operational risks as those that, wthout effecttve and appropriate mitigation, would have a severe impact on our work, our reputation or our ability to achieve our ambitions. The College continually improves the prOsS by which il rewews, registers and mitigates risks Ihal may impact on College lrfe and operations. These risks (including likelihood, impact and mitigation measures) are listed in a Strategic Risks Register, which is regularly reMew8d by the College Board and senior management. The risk management process encourages the Trustees to challenge any assumptions senior management has madé about risks and interrogate the context in which decisions are taken. This helps ensure that the most serious risks are being managed effectTrvely. Revenue shortfall. primarily through downlum in Member application numbers. has been identified as a fundamental finanal risk for Goodenough College. Vigorous promotion of the College through public outreach, strategic partnership building and enhancing the College's digital presence is given high priority in order to miligale this risk- logether with market sensitive pring of accommodation and a robusl admissions policy making maximum use of search engine optimisation. peer rewews, advertising and approaches to educational institutions and Scholarship bodies (within London, the UK and intemationally). 18
Goodenough College Trustees. Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 Application numbers are remewed on a regular basis and the admissions strategy adjusted on the basis of findings. The maintenance of a diverse College community (including enabling access for students with limited financial resources) is recognised by the Trustees as a key area of risk. The College will continue to focus on targeting its outreach on less represented geographic areas and socio-economic groups. It continues to enhance its Scholarships and Bursaries schemes (including developing partnership schemes with other scholarship providers) to support less affluent studenls. The ColSege maintains its focus on fundraising for Scholarships and Bursaries (including hardship funds allocated as The Mecklenburgh Fund). The College rewews its rent annually and any increases applied are based on sound market information and consultation wth the College Member community. Since March 2020, the College has recognised the potential impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on ils ability lo safeguard its beneficiaries, fulfil its charitable objectives and deliver its financial targets. The College managed its overall response to the pandemic through COVID Management Team meetings, and COVID Recovery Action Planning meetings dealing with the immediate and the medium tem response. respectively. In June 2020, the College published a statement confirming its compliance with the Govemment's guidan on managing the risk of COVID-19. With regard to the safeguarding risks for its Members, the College continued to exercise its duty of care towards Members who remained resident on Mecklenburgh Square during the 'lockdown'. The College applied appropriate measures in line with Govemment advice. sector best practice and advic8 from Public Health England. The College received a positive rewew from Public Health England of ils aangeMentS for deaning, social distancing and the isolating of 'households'. There were particular challenges in managing arrangements for thos8 Members wth shared bathroom and food preparation facilities. The Colleg8's caterer, Holroyd Howe, maintained an effective, flexible arrangement for providing food to College Members throughout the crisis. A key strategic objective of the College, to deliver an exceptional Member experien. faced unprecedented challenges during the peri¢)d under review. Wilh Members largely confined lo their rooms and severely restricted in their activities through the requirements of social distancing, the College's ability to transfomi College Members through community. cross-cultural understanding and an exptional inlellectual and social enwronment was sharply curtailed, safeguarding taking the higher priority. Although some impact was unavoidable. the College maintained a vigorous online programme throughout the crisis and continued lo look for imaginative ways to engage with Members within the law and guidance, reverting to a comprehensive in-person programme of inlelleGtual, cultural, SOGial and sporting actiwties for the membership as soon as Govemment regulations relaxed in July 2021. The College implements a rigorous process of risk assessment for all activities. tether wth impact reviews and ROI assessments of enrichment activities. The College has prewously recognised that securing sufficient funds to implem8nt its Asset Repl3ment Plan represents a key risk to the College. The College considers that it has substantially mitigated that risk through development of a comprehensive Asset Replacement Plan, long te financial planning and the securing of £40m of 30-year nor amortising debt. The Finance sub-commtttee of the College Board reviews the long-temi financially sustainable performance of the College and provides further diligence on the 19-
Goodenough College Trustees. Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 months ended31 August 2021 application of available funds. The impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic crisis has severely tested the level of the College's reserves and thus its confidence in delivering ils Asset Replacement Plan. alongside other estate development ambitions over the longer term. However, the College has demonstrated lo itself, through challenging scenarios and stress testing, Ihat it will be able to meet its Assel Replament Plan for at least the next 15 years. The level of the College's unrestricted freely available reserves. combined with its designated funds (see below), prowde the College wsth comfort as to its going concem, in July 2021 the Board approved the application of a further £1.9m College Developm8nt Reserve (CDR) funds and enhanment of Asset Replacement Reserve funds. The 30-year fixed-inlerest debt has minimised the College's exposure to variations in debt financing costs. Further details can be found in Nbte 15. As the College's main base of operations is in central London, the College recognises that terrorisl activity both local to the College and woddwide has the polential for high impact on the College through restricting physical access to the College. reducing future applications to the College,. and directly on the welfare of College Members. The College exercises care in maintaining its access control and security arrangements, holds financial reserves, specffic appropriate insurance cover, effective business continuity plans and robust welfare systems in order to mitigate that risk. Wilh accommodation at rts heart. fire risk management foms a key consideration in the College's operation and development. The College regulady revrews its fire management policies and carries out annual fire risk assessments and complies with with all statutory obligations and best practice. To wunter the risk of diminishing revenue generated by the College's wholly-owned hotel, The Goodenough on Mecklenburgh Square. the College remains committed to maintaining that accommodalion to a markel-competitive stsndard and CntinUIng a proactive sales and marketing policy. As at the balance sheet date the hotel remains closed. The College has commissioned an exlensive refurbishment of the hotel's 65 bedrooms in 2021122. during a downtum in the market. The College is confident of this asset (operated through its subsidiary company} retuming to substantial surplus after reopening. With the majority of the College's income streams generated in-year from Member rents. holel charges. letting of a lease lo a comMeal venture and other business income. the impaci of these trading enwronments will affect the finanual performance of the College. The College is confident that its planning, risk management and operational management activities sufficiently manage these risks and enable the College to put in place appropriate mitigation measures. The College takes safeguarding very seriously. The College is confident that it provides a safe and trusted environment and promotes an organisational culture that prioritises safeguarding. The College considers that it maintains adequate safeguarding policies, procedures and measures to protect people. These are rewewed regulady, and kept up to date in line with Govemment guidance and best practice. The College has remewed its safeguarding g0Veman and management arrangements wtthin the last 12 months. -20-
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17months ended31 August2021 In response to the Corporale Criminal Offence of Failure to Prevent the Facililalion of Tax Evasion introduced by the Criminal Finances Act 2017, the College carried out a risk assessment and made a Top Level Commitment to a zero tolerance to the criminal facilitation of tax evasion at its Board meeting in March 2018.

Any extemal fundraising consultants or suppliers are employed to support activities rather than lead them, ensuring we have full control of all activities. The College is a memberof The Council for Advanrnent and Support of Education (CASE), a professional association serwng educational institutions and the professionals who work on their behalf in Alumni relations. communications. development, marketing and allied areas. As part of its work, CASE sets slandards arKI an ethical framework for the fundraising profession which the College follows. This year the College t)onations Adwsory CommÉttee also remsed and updated its the College's Ethical Fundraising Policy. now referred to as a Gfft Acceptan Policy. This Donations Advisory Committee wll meet at least annually to review large gifts and any considerations around gift acceptance. One of the core fundraising campaigns is the College's Annual Appeal to Alumni and friends, which is now nJn through digital means. Those contacts vtho are deemed lo have a legitimate inlerest in Goodenough College are encouraged to give but those who have opted out of fundraising appeals are exempted from this programme of acliwty. Above and beyond securing a donalion, we seek always to put the needs of the indiwdual first, and to help supporters to reengage and reKinneGI as well as making an infornied decision about supporting the College finacially. We do not accept donations where we have reason to believe that Ihe donor may be vulnerable andlor accepting the donation would be ethically wrong or cause hami to the donor. To help infomi our approach, we use the Fundraising Regulatorfs Code of Practice and the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's statement on vulnerable donors. We frequently review industry standards to ensure we are meeting requirements. This year, no complaints have been received by CASE, the Charity Commission. the Fundraising Regulator or by the College about its fundraising activities. PLANS FOR FLfwRE PERIODS As the College moves fotward into the 2021122 academic year, the business and academic environments in which we function are far less predictable than they were before the global pandemic, whose impact on our operations remains considerable. Nonetheless, plans for the 21
Goodenough College Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report for the 17 OnthS ended31 August 2021 future of the College. including the Strategic Plan. the Asset Replaoment Plan, the Governance Remew and the College investrnent plans, remain largely on track. Member occupancy has retumed close to pre-pandemic levels.. and the intelleclual. SOGial and cultural enrichment programme for Members is the most ambitious ever delivered by the College. College staff are physically back worknng on College premises. The long-temi impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the College has primarily been in the financial domain, as detailed in the Finanaal Review section of Ihis report, with College reseeS significantly depleted, a continuing lad( of incorne from the hotel, which remains closed, and the events, short stay and sabbatical businesses still substsntively affected by the reduclion in travel and socialising. The College's Scottish estste, The Bum, has seen ils business hosting Scottish university groups evaporate- there is every indication that such business will not start to rally until 2022 at the eadiesL In the immediate future, the College will consider how to mitigate this loss of income relating to the pandemic. We will make use of the hotel closure to refurbish ils bedroom and prepare an energetic relaunch in Spring 2022. We will work to raise the profile and profilabilily of our events business. The Bum management team is exploring innovative ways of attracling a new clientele and marketing a broader range of events. We will develop the College's eslate. including explotting the opportunity to expand our Member accommodation offer presented by our r¢qUisItion of Houses 43-46 Mecklenburgh Squar8. We are currently looking at how we might secure philanthropic investment from our Alumni and friends to help fund the redevelopment of these properties. We will continue to seek to identfy sufficient funds to ensure that the College's Asset Replacement Reserve is SLrfficient to maintain the College's assets in perpeluity. As the effgcts of th8 parKlemic SI0Y diminish, keeping our community safe and well remains our priority. Consistently guided by UK Govemment advice, we are continuing a phased resumption of business, involwng gradual, incremental changes matched with careful monitoring of thè changing situation. We will continue to focus on mental health awareness and safeguarding for both Members and stsff and on staff professional and individual development. We will continue to look for cost*ffective ways to raise the College's public profi18, building on valuable new partnerships now being established with scholarship bodies. academic charities and educational institutions, among others. to ensure we continue to attract and secure as many talented intemational postgraduate students as possibla. Through our Alumni engagement and fundraising strategies, we are looking at ways in which we can reconnect the College's Alumni. wherever thèy may be based in the world, using channels such as digttal communications. events and volunteering. On the back of this engagemenl and reconnection. we aim to increase voluntary income to enable as many postgraduate students as possible, ieSpeCtive of background. lo have a Chan to join the College wmmunity. Volunlary income will also support the provision of our emergency financial assistan fund (The Mecklenburgh Fund). student wellbeing {online counselling service) and other College capital projects.

Going forward we plan to market the site further through a postcard campaign. We also need to ensure a steady stream of unique content to keep those already signed up mming back to the site and to encourage as much of it as possible to be Alumni rather than Colleg&led. The Board will complete tts remew of the Co118ge's govemance arrangements, in line with the Charity Governance Code. and then work wth College senior managemenl to implement any recommendations. with a view to embedding best governan practice for the sustainabla long-lemi management of the College. The College will also embed equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives across our operations to ensure we deliver fully on our diversity commitments. The College remains extremely grateful to its Govemors, Fellows and other stakeholders who continue to offer their tirne, expertise and financial support lo enhance our College community.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frorn material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuran is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee thal an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misslatement when it exists.

We considered management's incentives and opportunilies for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements {including revenue recognition and the risk of override of controls). and detemiined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate joumal entries to manipulate financial results and management bias in accounting estimates. Our tests included= Reviewing the financial slalement disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess Complian with relevant laws and regulations discussed above" We made enquiries of the Audit Commtttee and Senior Management Team. Review of minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance" Reviewing correspondence with HMRC.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misslatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a malerial 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, misrepresentations or through (rillusion. There are inherent limitslions in the audit prOdureS perfomied and the further removed non-complian with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in Ihe finaneial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

They also comply with the charleS and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Ael 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and applicable actounting stand2rds. The accounting policies have been applied consislenuy throughout the a(unts. The Tnjstees reviewed the College's plans in July 2021 and were content that these plans were affordable and that the a(xounts should be prepared on a going conwn basis. However. given the impacl of the COVID-19 outbreak and its financial effect, Ihe Executive team and Trustees continue lo review finanryal plans for the next 12 months to ensure that the College can continue ils business-critical activities and remain a going ConM. The lockdown has had a significant effect on the College's finanaal situation. This is across all areas of income. including member rents as well as the hotel an¢Y commercial events. There have been some onsequenlial reductions in costs and the furfough scheme has enabled the recovery of an element of staff salaries, but the net losses against the budget for 2020121 were £7.4m. In July 2021 the Board of Trustees approved a cautious budget showng the College reluming lo a consolidated operating surplus in 2021122. There has been a high volume of aptionS for places in the College for the 2021122 academic year. with occupancy levels exceeding budget. The holel remains closed for the refurbishment project until May 2022 however commercial event bookings have been strong. Due to the Hotel closure budgeted lolal income remains signrficanlly lower than il would OtherSe have been. Business performan is being carefully monitored against budget and financial stsbility reviewed as matters progress. Current 2021122 financial perfomiance is ahead of budget.

The invested portfolio includes in excess of £11m invested in short and medium term funds where capital preservation is the key nveslment strategy. In total these reswes a well in excess of the annual tumover and annual cash flow requiremenls of the College. Given the strength of the balance sheet and the availability and liquidity of unreslricled investments the Trustees believe that, while uncertainly exists. this does not pose a material uncertainly that would cast doubl on the charitys ability lo continue as a going concem. The Trustees. therefore, consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a wing COnM basis. Further detail on the availabilty of unrestricted funds and the potential financial impact of COVID-19 can be found on p15 of the Trustees, Report. The impact of the COVID-19 uisis is reviewed extensively in the Report. 37-
