Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

Governing instrument

The charity was incorporated in England on 15 August 1996 as a private company limited by guarantee, and its governing documents are its memorandum and articles of association. It changed its name by special resolution on 2 October 2010 to Lejeune Clinic for Children with Down Syndrome.

Principal activity and achievements during the period

The charity’s principal activity is to promote the care and treatment of children who have Down Syndrome, and to provide specialist assessment and advice that can improve all aspects of such children’s development.

The charity runs Early Intervention Groups (‘EIG’) for small groups of children in premises in Sloane Square, Central London, providing speech & language therapy and advice. The charity also runs online speech & language sessions and topical webinar workshops led by specialist therapists and professionals.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Financial Review

Reserve policy and risk management

The trustees are satisfied that free reserves are more than adequate to fund the operations of the charity for the next twelve months. The charity’s reserves policy is to make sure that there are adequate reserves to cover foreseeable operating costs for at least three months. The trustees have assessed the main risks to which the company might be exposed and do not consider that there are any that are likely to impinge on the charity’s ability to carry out its functions during the next twelve months.

Charity’s organisation

The charity’s operations are run by a clinic manager on behalf of the trustees, who meet at least twice a year and take all decisions, based where necessary on advice given. The charity ceased clinical activities in December 2015, but continues to provide early intervention speech & language therapy sessions in central London every two months and monthly tele-therapy sessions and webinar workshops.

The charity’s articles of association require there to be at least three trustees, but there is no maximum. One third of the trustees retire at each annual general meeting, although they are eligible for re-election. New trustees are appointed by the serving trustees from amongst people of known ability who are interested in the trust’s work.

Results

The net movement in funds retained for the period was a surplus of £16,280 as set out in the accounts on pages 8 - 10.

Investment Powers of Trustees

The trustees have unfettered powers of investment.

Structure, Governance and Management

Statement of the trustees’ responsibilities

The Charities Act requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently, and make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lejeune Clinic for Children with Down Syndrome

For The Year Ended 31 August 2025

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lejeune Clinic for Children with Down Syndrome

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity 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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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
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.
