REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of La Maison de l’Institut de France à Londres (Fondation Edmond de Rothschild) (the charity) for the year ended 31st March 2025. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the charity’s trust deed and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Structure, Governance and Management Constitution
The charity was founded in 1920 by the Institut de France with a gift from the Baron Edmond de Rothschild. It is constituted under a Charity Commission Scheme dated 21st June 1951 as amended on 2nd January 1985 and is registered charity number 312897.
The principal object of the charity is to provide accommodation for French academics and students who wish to come to London for study or research, thereby fostering cultural, academic and international relations between the two countries. The charity achieves its objectives through publicity in France undertaken by itself and the Institute de France, and by providing a convivial environment at La Maison in London, on a bed and breakfast basis in fourteen rooms.
The income is derived from the investment of the original gift from the Baron, now managed by the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF), and from contributions from the guests towards the running costs. The charity’s overall objectives remain unchanged.
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 Charity Commission Scheme. Trustees are recruited through networking or their involvement with the Institut de France in Paris.
Prospective candidates are interviewed by the Trustees and representatives of the Institut de France. Upon appointment, Trustees receive an induction to the history and running of the Charity. In accordance with the constitution, the minimum number of co-optive Trustees in office at any given time should be four and two ex-officio Trustees. The co-optive Trustees are appointed for a term of five years.
The Trustees who served during the year were:-
Mme Beatrice Keighley, Chair Lady Janvrin M Antoine de Navacelle Mme Anne-Marie Gray M Jean-Hugues de Lamaze
The two ex-officio Trustees are the Ambassador of France in London, Mme Helene Duchene, and the Chancellor of the Institut de France in Paris, M Xavier Darcos.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
Organisational structure and decision making
The Trustees are responsible for the overall control of the charity's operations and meet regularly to review the performance of La Maison and authorise strategic decisions.
Day to day management is delegated to the charity's director who is supported by a team of staff.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular, those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied those systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Review of activities and future developments
The net incoming resources of the charity amounted to £(128,378) (2024 – £84,336). The realised and unrealised gains in the market value of the investments amounted to £(100,165) (2024 £178,445). The combined effect is to decrease total funds at 31 March 2025 to £8,770,594 (2024 - £8,898,972).
The total number of visitors in the year was 2259 (2014 from April 2023 to March 2024). This showed an encouraging growth of 12% after the re-opening of Maison after Covid and the refurbishment. It is anticipated this growth will continue assisted by a publicity campaign by the Institute de France.
Objectives for 2025-26 are to increase visitor numbers and to increase awareness in the Anglo-French academia and French institutions in London.
From September 2024 room rates were set at £80 per night for a Student room, £110 per night for a single room and £135 per night for a double room. Staff wages were also increased in 2024 to £13 per hour for housekeeper positions. Room rates will be increased by £5 from 1[st] April 2025.
The relationship of La Maison with the Institut de France in Paris is very close. The Chancellor of the Institut de France is an ex-officio Trustee of La Maison, and the Institut de France is responsible for approving admission policy for guests wishing to stay at La Maison.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
Investment policy and performance
The Trustees' policy is to invest surplus funds in the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF).
Reserves policy
The charity was obliged to cease its primary operations in mid-March 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the British Government. The property owned by the Trust subsequently underwent extensive renovation work between June 2021 and October 2022. The performance of the COIF Investment Fund has, however, remained strong. The Trustees monitor and meet regularly to review the financial position of the charity, including the reserves, and presently remain satisfied that there are sufficient general reserves to meet the anticipated operating needs of the charity for the foreseeable future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF MAISON DE L'INSTITUT DE FRANCE A LONDRES (FONDATION EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD)
We have audited the financial statements of Maison De L’Institut De France A Londres for the year ended 31st March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the Trustees as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters 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 anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Auditors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts which give a true and fair view.
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under Section 154 of that Act. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Trustees’ report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies, we consider the implications for our report.
