INSULATION ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING TRUST
LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02670451)

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The charity was established to promote and advance, for public benefit, the education and training of persons employed or intending to be employed in the thermal insulation industry and other related industries, both in the UK and elsewhere. This includes research into matters relating to training for employment in the thermal insulation and other related industries and to publish and disseminate any useful results of such research for the public benefit and is in accordance with Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Significant activities
The activities of the charity include the donations of funds to the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association for the purchase of training equipment for the training of apprentices and operatives in the thermal insulation industry and the undertaking of end point assessments for the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association and its members.

Public benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and believe that they are acting accordingly.

Grantmaking
The charity achieves its objectives by making grants as and when required to the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association who uses the funds to invest in new equipment and facilities for use in the training of apprentices in the thermal insulation and related industries as and when required.

Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
The charity has undertaken end point assessments for the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association (TICA) and its members on a not for profit basis. In prior years it has made grants to TICA for the benefit of its apprentices and it intends to continue to make grants in the future.

Investment performance
The charity earned £8,591 (2022: £1,693) of interest on its cash deposits during the year.

Financial review
Financial position
The charity holds £323,448 (2022: £284,705) of funds at bank. Of this £181,117 (2022: £181,259) is held in deposit accounts with 12 months notice. The charity will continue to invest its funds as prudently as possible and seek to fund new charitable projects in the training of apprentices in the thermal insulation industry.

Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources this year have arise from the provision of end point assessments for the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association and interest earned on cash deposits. The performance of these has been shown in detail in the charity achievements and performance statement above. Although deficits have been made in recent years,, the reserves are still very positive given the current economic conditions.

Investment policy and objectives
There is no formal investment policy for the charity but the trustees have acted to maximise investment income by investing in short term treasury deposits which earn a greater rate of interest with little risk involved. The trustees seek to maximise returns on investment income whilst ensuring minimal risk.

Reserves policy
The charity has no formal reserves policy but will continue to allow the cash funds to grow and donate reserves as and when required.

LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02670451)

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

Future plans

Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The company is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated on the 11th December 1991, amended by special resolutions on 4th December 2012 and 7th October 2019.

The company is a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. In the event of the company being wound up all members, or within one year after ceasing to be a member, are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The recruitment and appointment of new trustees is governed by the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association to appoint the board of trustees by nomination from the members by election at the Annual General Meeting.

Organisational structure
The charity is controlled by the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association which considers itself the parent undertaking. Certain trustees of the charity are also members of the board of the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association. Decisions are made by the board of the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association and actioned by the trustees. The day to day management of the charity has been delegated to the company secretary by the trustees.

Induction and training of new trustees
The induction and training of new trustees is undertaken by the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association. A new trustee would usually be appointed upon the departure of an existing trustee at the discretion of the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association. There is no formal training for new trustees as duties are not complex but new trustees would be chosen with adequate knowledge and experience of the thermal insulation and related industries and the role of trustees within a registered charity.

Related parties
The Thermal Insulation Contractors Association has the power to appoint the board of trustees by nomination from the members by election at the Annual General Meeting.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Insulation Environmental Training Trust Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
