Trustees, Annual Report and Strategic Report
for the year ended31 August 2025
President's Welcome
l am pleased to introduce Goodenough College's Annual Report and Financial Statements for
the year ending 31StAugust 2025. The College continues to perform well due to the talent and
energy of a strong leadership team and the generous commitment of College residents
('Members') to making the College a success for Iheir entire community.
The College saw strong demand for admissions in September 2024. which translated into high
occupancy levels Ihroughoul the ensuing academic year. This was complemented by a wide
take-up among Members of our renowned inlelleclual, cultural and social enrichment
programme. Demand remained highest for the College's cheapest rooms, with economic
conslraints a major factor for many of our applicants.
It is notable that the year under review saw a welcome 7.50A increase in couples and
families applying for accommodation, a small bounce back from the 40% decrease last year
which was caused by UK Govemment changes in visa eligibility for dependants. Marketin9
the College's family accommodation (as well as more expensive rooms) remains a challenge
but we are pleased that a significant number of families eligible lo bring dependants to the
UK continue to live among and enhance our community. this is widely appreciated across
Ihe College.
Our hotel, short-slay and sabbatical accommodation business continued to do well in a difficult
market, thanks in large part lo the appointment of an experienced hotel general manager and
a reorganised team. In addition, Goodenough House, our venue-hire business, achieved an
income of over £1 million for the first time. These commercial activities, together with highly
effective fundraising by our philanthropy team, helped strengthen the College's firm financial
fooling and ensured that we could continue to expand our acGommodation scholarships
programme and deploy an emergency fund for those Members facing LSnexpected financial
difficulties.
An unstsble global political environment, leading to widespread public protest and some
challenges to free speech, including within a number of London's academic institutions,
continued to present a threat to the College's renowned ethos of global collaboration and open
debate. Againsl this backdrop, we were proud to fulfil our charilable mandate by building
diverse, friendly, mutually supportive collegiate community which engaged in collaborative
dialogue. We remained focused on encouraging our tslented membership to develop critical
skills and build experien￿ to enable them to become the change makers of the future.
This year we were able to expand the number of opportunities for our Members lo engage in
academic retreats on our Scottish estale, The Bum, and in UK-wide and overseas study trips.
and in an extraordinary range of cross-disciplinary talks and seminars, delivered by publi¢
figures and scholars from some of the UK'S most prestigious academic institutions. This
superb programme was made possible by the generous support of an increasing number of
sponsors, who subsidised individual events and trips, and by the help and advice of an
exceptional group of College Fellows.
l am delighted lo report that the early phase of the capital campaign to fenovate five Georgian
townhouses on the College's estate is well under way and the College's Philanthropy and
Alumni Relations team has already secured an impressive number of generous donations to
help restore the buildings to a standard befitting their historical significance. Work on the
renovation project stsrted in April 2025, with the aim of compleling work by the slart of the

Goodenough College
TnAstees' Annual Report and Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 August 2025
2026-27 academic year. Once complete, the buildings will provide an additional 60 lower cost
rooms for students.
Besides the capital campaign. we continue to offer our donors the opportunity lo sponsor
individual students and it is gratifying that many of the Members who receive scholarships
build strong connections with their sponsors.
Looking ahead. our main objectives for 2025-26 will include ¢onlinuing to build our
partnerships with academic institutions in the UK and more widely, to raise our visibility among
potential high-qualily applicants,. enhancing our collaboration with scholarship foundations
across the world lin partic(Jlar, across the Commonwealth}, to build a membership of truly
eX￿PtiOnal students., and expanding our efforts to secure philanthropic donations, to support
thosé whose personal circumstances would not otherwise enable them to aC￿sS our
community. We will also be focusing on attracting more applications from under-represented
parts of the Commonwealth, including the Caribbean and Pacific nations and smaller African
slates. With several members of the College Board. including ils Chair, due to step down in
2026, we will also be focusing on strong succession planning across our governance
structures.

STRATEGIC REPORT
0￿Ec[IvEs AND AcfIviTIES
The institution that became Goodenough College was eslablished in 1930, when a group of
individuals led by Frederick Craufurd Goodenough. Chaiman of Barclays Bank, and his wife Maeve
Goodenough, established a student residence in London for international postgraduate students.
Their vision was the creation of a home from home for (malel students from the Ihen-Dominions
(subsequently, Commonwealth counlriesl, offering a collegiate community in the heart of London to
promote friendships and enhance international understanding. Th& College has expanded greatly
since that time and now consists of a six hundred-strong fully inclusive community of postgraduates,
some with accompanying families, from across the wortd.

Funds and reserves
The College's reserves are divided between unrestricted, restricted and endowment funds.
Unrestricted funds are further divided into designated and general unrestricted funds.
Unrestricted funds total £142.6m {2024.' £140.8m), which includes designated reserves of £133m
12024.. £131.6m), general funds of the charity of £9.4m {2024-. £9.Oml and general funds of the
subsidiary of £0.2m12024'. £0.2m). See Note 17 for further details.
The Trustees have designated the value of the College's non-inveslment fixed assets (net offunding
from the long-tem loan) as the Tangible Fixed Asset reserve. The value of this reserve is adjusted
annually lo reflect the net value of these assets and stands al £114.3m al year*nd (2024.. £114.1 m).
The Trustees have designated the value of the College's investment properties {recognising the
College's strategy to retain inveslmenl properties as reliable long-temi assets) as the Investmenl
Propety Reserve al £2.4m {2024-. £2.2ml. This increase reflects the revaluation of the investment
properties on 31 August 2025.
The College has an eslablished long-term forecast. which enables the College to agree a framework
for the management of ils 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
sufficient levels of cash are available to secure a well-mainlained estate over the long lemi. An Asset
Replacement Reserve IARR) has been established to support the costs identified for the
replacement and refurbishment of the buildings, fixtures. fittings and equipment of London House,
William Goodenough House and the hotel to 2046. The required value of this fund is agreed to be
designated from the available funds accumulated by the College from annually generated operating
surpluses and drawn down against relevant costs:
The Trustees designated the budgeted contribution from 2024-25 performance to the ARR at the
year-end. After debiting appropriate asset replacement expenditure and accounting for income,
gains and losses, the value of the ARR stood at £10.2m on 31"Augusl 2025 (2024.. £10.7m). The
Truslees review the value of this designated fund annL¢ally as il accumulates and is utilised for asset
replacement. The ARR is represented by investment funds with investment mandates (as overseen
by the Finance & Audit Committee} matching the investment objectives and horizons of this reserve.
The Trustees have designated a further £1.2m lo the planned future devèlopment of 43-47
Mecklenburgh Square. ShoL¢ld the College achieve its philanthropic fundraising ambition for this
capital project, the fund will provide sufficient funds to complete the project. Any shortfall in
fundraising will require a drawdown from either the General or other designated reserves. The fund
at 31" August 2025 slood at £6.2m {2024'. £4.7m). The fund is held with the College's short-term
investment fund. The College is delivering the development of the site under the guidance of the 43-
47 Mecklenburgh Square Steering Committee.
The Trustees have reviewed 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 estate maintenance expenditure. To allow the College to be
managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interrupted Services, the policy requires that
general reserves in the range from £6m £9m should be maintained. This range is based on
managing lo sustain core College activity if there were a fall in Member income of 25°h for three
years IG£6ml and a loss of 500/0 of The Goodenough Hotel, London and the College short-slay and
sabbatical rooms business net operating surplus for two years (c£2ml. In addition, a minimum of

The Trustees have assessed the value of reserves and the operations of the College and do not
consider that there remain material uncertainties related to these or other events or conditions that
asl significant doubl on the College's ability to continue as a going concern. The College remains
financially stable with freely available funds on 315IAugusl 2025 of £9.4m (2024.. £8.9m, see nole 17

fixed interest rale of 3.102 %. The loan is secured against London House. William Goodenough

Principal risks and uncertainties
To oplimise the College's managemenl of risk, Ihe College Board and staff are briefed on the nalure
of risk and accept responsibility for risks associated with their area of authority. Senior management
provides appropriate support, assistance and commilmenl to ensure that both operalional and
strategic risk is managed on a daily basis lo the best of the College's abilily. This risk management
process provides reasonable, bul not absolute. assuran￿ that the organisation is protected.
We define key strategic risks as those that. wilhoul effective 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 process by which il reviews, registers and mitigates risks that may impact
13

Goodenough College
ThA$tees' Annual Report and Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 August 2025
on College life and operations. These risks (including likelihood, impact and mitigalion measures)
are held in a Strategic Risks Register, which is regularly reviewed by the College Board and senior
management. The risk management process encourages the Trustees lo challenge any assumptions
senior management has made about risks and interrogate the corstexl in which decisions are taken.
This helps ensure that the most serious risks are being mitigated effectively and the impact of
mitigation is assessed.
Revenu8 shortfall, primarily through a downturn in Member application numbers and attendance,
remains a fundamental financial risk for Goodenough College. Vigorous promotion of the College
through public outreach, strategic partnership building and enhancing the College's digilal presence
is given high priorrty in order to mitigate this risk,. together with market-sensilive pricing of
accommodation and a robust admissions policy making appropriate use of search engine
optimisalion, peer reviews. adverlising and approaches to educational institutions and scholarship
bodies (within London, the UK and internalionallyl. Application numbers are reviewed on a regular
basis and the admissions slrategy 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
conb'nues to enhan￿ its scholarships schemes (including developing partnership schemes with
other scholarship providers) lo support less affluent students. The College maintains a focus on
fundraising for scholarships (including hardship funds allocated as Thé MecklenbLtrgh Fund). The
College reviews its rent annually and any increases applied are based on sound market information
and consultation with the College Member community.
A key strategic objective of the College is to deliver a transfom)ative expertence for College Members
through community, cross-cultural understanding and an exceptional intellectual and social
programme. The College implements a rigorous process of risk assessment for all activities, and
impact assessments of enrichment activities.
The College considers that it has substantially mitigated the risk of failing lo secure sufficient funds
lo propedy maintain and renew its assets through development of a comprehensive Asset
Replacement Plan and careful long ierm financial planning. The Finan￿ & Audit Committee of the
College Board reviews the long-lemi financial performance of the College and provides further
diligence on the application of available funds. The College has demonstrated to itself, through
hallenging scenarios and stress testing, that it will be able to meet ils Asset Replacement Plan at
least unlil 2046.
The level of the College's unreslricled freely available reserves. combined with ils designated funds
(see below). reassure the College that it remains a going concem.
The 30-year fixed-inlerest debt minimises the College's exposure to variations in debt financing
costs. Further details can be found in Note 15.
The Board continues to oversee the College's business conlinuity and contingency arrangements in
the event that the College suffer from a major disaster affecting its eslale. or be impacted by terrorism
or disease outbreak or pandemic. The Board is confident that the College's plans, controls and
insurance arrangements adequately mitigate these risks to a tolerable level. As the College's main
base of operations is in central London. the College recognises that terrorisl aclivity. bolh local to the
College and worldwide, has the potential lo affect the College through restricting physical access lo

the College. reducing future applications to the College, or directly impacting the welfare of College
Members. The College exercises care in maintaining its aC￿sS control and security arrangements,
holds financial reserves, specific appropriate insurance cover, effective business continuity plans
and robust welfare systems to mitigate that risk.
With accommodation at the heart of ils operations, fire risk management forms a key consideration
in the College's operation and development. The College regularly reviews its fire management
policies and carries out annual fire risk assessments. It complies with all statutory obligations and
best practi￿.
To counter the risk of diminishing revenue generated by the College's wholly-owned hotel. The
Goodenough Hotel London, the College invests in the maintenance and development of this asset.
The hotel {operated through a subsidiary company) returns a SLsbslanlial operating surplus each
year.
The College takes safeguarding very seriously. The College is confident that it provides a safe and
trusted environment, and promotes an organisational cullure that priorilises safeguarding. The
College considers that it maintains adequate safeguarding policies, prO￿dureS and measurés lo
protect people. These are reviewed regularly and kept up to dale in line with Government guidance
and best practice. The College has reviewed ils safeguarding govemance and management
arrangements within the last 12 monlhs.
In response to the Corporate Criminal Offence of Failure to Prevent the Facilitation 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 lax evasion at its Board
meeting in March 2018. The College continues to apply due diligence- apply and communicate its
procedures., and monitor and review its position.
Goodenough College continues lo meet the requirements of the General Data Protection
Regulations {GDPRI and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations {PECRI, building
on its previous programme of work to achieve compliance. The Trustees remain confident that the
College is fully complying with the Regulalions.

for appropriate cyber security. In September 2025, the College achieved CyberEssenlials+
rtification. The College maintains appropriate Cyber Insuran￿ protection.

activity. There is a clear focus on enabling supporters lo reengage and reconnect with the College,
as well as making an informed decision on supporting the College financially. The College does not

judge accepting the donation would be ethically wrong or cause ham lo the donor. To help inform
our approach, we refer to the Fundraising Regulator's Code of practi￿ and the Chartered Institute
of Fundraising's statement on vulnerable donors. We regularly review industry standards to ensure
we are meeting requirements. No complaints have been received by the College, CASE, the Charity

nature of ils provision of accommodations, including reflecting on the opportunity to convert existing
flats lo multiple occupancy, providing additional more affordable accommodation.
Meanwhile, the College remains committed to enhancing and diverstfying its scholarship programme
in future years, continuing to work with alumni. established partner bodies (such as the Chevening
scholarships programme and London universities) and other stakeholders. The College will seek to
develop new partnerships, further expanding aC￿$S lo the College for those from lower income
backgrounds and nations currently under-represented.

Goodenough College
Independent Report of the Auditor (continued)
for the yeor ended 31 August 2025
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 assuran￿ is a high level of assurance. but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delect a rrtaterial
misslalement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence thé economic
decisions of users taken on thè basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
prO￿dureS in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, lo delect material misstatements in
respecl of irregularities, including fraud. The extenl to which our prO￿dureS are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of
irregularities, including fraud and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. was as follows..
• the engagement partner ensured Ihat the engagement team collectively had the appropriate
competence. capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-complian￿ with applicable laws
and regulations.,
• we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to Ihe
group and the charitable parenl company and determined that the most significant frameworks
which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are Ihose that relate
to the reporting framework {Statement of Recommended Practice.. Accounting and Reporting by
Charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) and the Charilies A¢t 2011)
and those that relate to data protection (General Data Protection Regulation),. and
• identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceplibilily of the group's and the charitable parent company's finan￿al
statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur.
by:
• making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,.
and
• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non<ompliance with laws
and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions.,
• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates
were indicative of potential bias- and
tested aulhorizalion controls on expenditure ilems, including staff expense claims. lo check that
all expenditure was approved in line with the group's and the parent charitable company's
financial prO￿dUres',
21

Goodenough College
Independent Report of the Auditor (continued)
for the year ended 31 August 2025
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed
procedures which included, bul were not limited lo..
• agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.,
+ reading the minutes of meetings ofthose charged with governance., and
+ enquiring of management as lo actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that18WS
and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of
non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit Procedures required to identify non-
compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the
inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstalemenls that arise du8 to fraud Can be harder to detect than those that arise from
error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of Ihe financial stalernents is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.ukjauditorsresponsibilities. This description
fomis part ofour auditor's report.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 August 2025
AccouwfiNG POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as
modified by the inclusion of investments and investment properties at fair value at balance
sheet date.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting
by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 (effective 1$t January 20191- (Charities SORP {FRS 102)). lh6
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) and the
Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
They also comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment {Scotland} Acl 2005 and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and applicable accounting standards. The
accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the accounts.
Goin
Concem
The Trustees reviewed the College's surplus operating budgel for the year 2025-26 and the
subsequent long term forecast in July 2025 and were content that thesa plans were affordabla
and that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis.
The College holds in eX￿sS of £30m in unrestricted funds not representing current operating
assets, of which £2m is in investment property and £28m in liquid investments managed
through our investment managers. In lolal these reserves are well in excess of the annual
turnover and annual cash flow requirements of the College.
Given the strength of the balan¢e sheet and the availability and liquidity of unrestricted
investments the Trustees believe thal, while Un￿rtaintY exists, this does not pose a material
uncertainty that would cast doubl on the chanty's abilily to continue as a going concern. The
Trustees. therefore. consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern
basis.
Further detail on the availability of unrestricled funds can be found on page 12 of the Trustees,
Report.

offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid nel of any trade discounts due.
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the College has a present obligalion resulting
from a past event that will probably resull in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount
due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Credilors and provisions
are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Other financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value and any changes to their fair
value are subsequently recognised in the SOFA under 'net gainsl{losses) on financial
instruments..

or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation
Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that

The College has elected to present the deemed cosl of ils freehold assets at the value held at
1" April 2014, as permilled under the FRS102 Iransilional arrangements. Where there is an
indication of an asset being impaired the recoverable amount is identified and the impairment
loss is recognised as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities.

components over their expected useful lives, on a slraight-line basis as follows..
Life (years)

io TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS (continued)
{a) Freehold properties (continued)
Freehold properties consisted of student accommodation, the hotel (The Goodenough Hotel,
London) and The Burn. They were all the subject of independent valuations, for inclusion in
the accounts at 31° March 2013, provided by Drivers Jonas Deloitte, Willis Lld, Ecclesiastical,
Bell Ingram and Alpha Browett Taylor.
Assets under construction consist mainly of the properties at 43-46 Mecklenburgh Square,
previously held as investment properties. The lease on the properties expired on 261h
November 2019 and the College is in the process of converting them, alongside 47
Mecklenburgh Square, into additional student accommodation. Accordingly, they are no longer
held as investments and were transferred lo freehold properties at a value of £11 m in the year
ended 31 March 2020 and are treated as being at deemed cost. This is based on a valuation
provided by Alpha Browett Taylor included in the accounts al 31. March 2018 and confirmed
by them in June 2019. Furthèr work on the project, as well as other ongoing works at the
College premises during the year, amount to £2.4m. No depreciation is applied to these assets
as they are not in operational use.
Also included in Freehold Properties are the College's Royal Albert Hall seats. held at historic
cost of £350. The sèats were purchased by the College in 1967 and are held on a 999-year
lease from 1867.
Excluding 43-46 Mecklenburgh Square, the historical cost net book value of the land and
buildings if Ihe revaluation had not taken place would be £28.Om (2024: £29.3m). The
historical cost of 43-46 Mecklenburgh Square cannot be determined.
One of the College's properties is used by Goodenough Trading Ltd, trading as Th8
Goodenough Hotel, London, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodenough College. The purpose
is to provide short-slay accommodation close to the Gollege for altjmni and College guests, as
well as generating commercial revenue in support of College activities. Due to the level of
shared facilities and services with the College, il is not possible to separate out the proportion
of the site that relates lo external guests so the entire property is treated as a funclional fixed
asset and held at depreciated wst of £15.1m (£15.6m in 2024).
Dufing the prior year, the decision was taken to transfer one of the investment properties into
tangible fixed assets due to it being brought into use as an operating charitable asset. Al 31
August 2024, the property was revalued from ils opening market value down to its depreciated
historic cost, and transferred from investment properties to College tangible fixéd assets
above.
