REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2018

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 July 2018. 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 2015).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Principal objects

The principal objects of Interdoceo are:

a) the advancement of the education of the public in languages, literature, cultures, histories and people in the world

including in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of grants and scholarships to enable individuals to learn

other languages and to become language teachers; and

b) the prevention or relief of poverty anywhere in the world in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of grants

to organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

How our activities deliver public benefit

Interdoceo exists to promote multiculturalism and to encourage mutual understanding of languages to achieve a

respectful coexistence. The charity promotes language learning and development mainly by providing support to

individuals to undertake internship programmes with the objective of training to become a foreign language teacher.

The grants are potentially available to any member of the public who wishes to train to become a foreign language

teacher. As such, there is a direct benefit being provided to the public in the support they can receive. There is also an

indirect benefit to the public in having more qualified language teachers available to teach foreign languages.

The nature of the work that Interdoceo does means that certain individuals will receive financial support to enable them

to become foreign language teachers. However, the support that they receive is incidental to the charity's purpose of

advancing education in foreign languages and ensuring that there are a sufficient number of adequately qualified

teachers available.

In addition, the donations that the charity could make to other charities established for the relief of poverty (which is a

fundamental charitable purpose) would benefit the public.

Criteria followed to select individuals or organisations to receive grants

Interdoceo intends to support students interested in pursuing a career in teaching foreign languages and individuals

applying must meet the following criteria:

- be aged 18 or over and have keen interest in language teaching.

- have English, French or German as a first language, or have completed secondary education in any of these

languages.

- undergraduate degree or alternative official diploma earned in the four years previous to the start of the grant.

The allocation is conducted on a first-come first-served basis.

In respect of poverty relief grants, Interdoceo will analyse any received requests and will decide periodically which

requests it will support, depending on their expected impact and the funds available, if any.

Training programmes' content

Accepted candidates receive a full time scholarship that includes:

- A foreign language teacher training certified course delivered by the University International de Catalunya:

Expert in Bilingual Education, Advanced Methodologies for English Teachers or Teaching English as a Foreign

Language.

- A 4 to 9 month practical training in a Spanish school under the supervision of a school teacher, as language

assistant.

- Health Insurance under the Spanish public health system.

- Financial support during the training programme.

Staff

As Interdoceo is mainly a grant-making charity, there is no need to hire staff at the moment.

Review of 2017/2018 academic year activities

During the academic year 2017/18, 99 Spanish schools hosted a total of 141 participants: 76 from the UK, 41 from

Ireland and 33 from other nationalities (South Africa, Australia, Canada, Austria, etc).

15 participants (10.64%) left the training programme before it ended for personal reasons, while 4 of them (2.84%) were

expelled due their lack of participation.

Feedback

Participants are requested to send a report at the end of the program, and the tutor is also required to report on the

individual. Both reports indicate the impact of the programme in the participant.

Tutor´s reports

Each tutor evaluates from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) the participant's evolution of 12 different aspects during the training

period:

1 . Ability to adapt to a professional environment and to
work with a team

7. Ability to organise and encourage learning
situations.

2. Observance of the school's rules and compliance with
the ethical code of conduct of the education sector

8. Ability to maintain the discipline and keep the
students' attention.

3. Professional relationships with colleagues and the
school's administration.

9. Ability to express themselves correctly in their
mother tongue.

4. Planning and organisation of their own

10. Adaptation of their teaching style to the age of their
students. Use of the most appropriate tools and
teaching methods in each situation.

5. Ability to build a good rapport with his/her students
in an educational manner.

11. Ability to get students involved in their own
learning.

6. Good performance on assigned tasks and activities.

12. Acceptance of constructive criticism and advice to
improve that is offered to them.

Participant's report

As part of their report, participants evaluate from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) 10 different aspects of the training

programme:

Questions

1. Has the online training which you received during your internship been useful in successfully completing your

teaching tasks?

2. Has the centre respected the conditions of the role of the Language Assistant?

3. Were you able to successfully communicate with your colleagues in the school: teachers, tutors, etc.?

4. Did you receive proper support from the tutor and from the school when you needed assistance?

5. Rate your relationship with other members of staff.

6. Have you been able to maintain a good relationship with the students?

7. Have you been able to adapt your teaching style/methods to the ages and needs of the students?

8. Have you been able to maintain a reasonable level of discipline?

9. Have you been comfortable at the school?

10. General evaluation of you participation in this programme.

The average evaluation scores are as follows:

Participant's ReportTutor's Report

No. of reports completed 108 117

Average Score 4.14 4.48

We are very pleased to see that both reports are between 4 and 5, which clearly shows the positive impact of the

programme in participants.

Governance and management of conflicts of interest

Interdoceo outsources responsibility for obtaining information on applicants to a separate company called Meddeas.

Meddeas is paid by the schools who agree to host the successful applicants, and not by Interdoceo. The process involves

a Skype interview followed by an interview by a local freelancer. One of the former trustees, Elena Selva, acted as one

of Meddeas' freelancer in London. She interviewed 40 to 70 applicants a year in London on behalf of Meddeas and was

paid up to 60 EUR per interview. She did not actually make a decision as to who is successful, but simply collected and

passed the information back to Meddeas. She resigned as trustee on 31.12.2017

In addition, Meddeas is partly owned by another trustee, Tomas Dawid. Of course, if there is a potential conflict of

interest in deciding whether to outsource responsibility to Meddeas, this conflict will be managed.

In particular and as foreseen, an additional trustee (Mrs. A. Munoz) was appointed on 31.10.17 so that there is a quorum

of trustees independent from Meddeas to make the decision.

We reiterate that there is no direct payment of money from Interdoceo to Meddeas or from Interdoceo to the trustees.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

We continue along the same lines having a balanced budget in which expenses don't exceed revenues. The entire

available budget is used to fund our programs, but avoiding all financial risks. The slight lost this fiscal year, which was

expected, has not created any cash flow difficulties.

We have received 23,5% more in contributions, reducing the dependence on contributions from Linguam Foundation

from 24% to 22.25%, which we hope will continue this trend in the coming years.

Principal funding sources

Funding

A total of 59 non-for-profit entities (Foundations, Associations, schools and others) have funded our programmes,

raising a total of £837,202.

Of this amount, a bit more than £186,000 (22.25%) has been given by Linguam Foundation, to cover the gap between

raised funds and grant awarding. Linguam Foundation intends to follow this policy until Interdoceo becomes

economically independent.

The income of Interdoceo, from whatever source derived, is, and will be, applied solely towards the promotion of its

objects. No portion thereof is paid or transferred directly or indirectly by way of dividend, bonus or otherwise by way of

profit to the member or trustees of Interdoceo.

Reserves policy

Given Interdoceo's social purpose and policy, the creation of long-term investments or reserves is not expected.

Proceedings of trustees

The Trustees must hold at least two meetings each year. The Chairperson may at any time, and two Trustees jointly may

at any time, call a meeting of the Trustees.

Notice of every meeting shall be sent to each Trustee, specifying the place, day and hour of the meeting and the business

to be discussed. A quorum at a meeting of the Trustees is two or fifty per cent of the total number of trustees whichever

is the greater, excluding any Conflicted Trustee who has not been authorised to participate in discussions or a vote under

Article 5.7 (Articles Interdoceo). A meeting of the Trustees may be held either in person or by suitable Electronic Means

agreed by the Trustees in which all participants may communicate with all the other participants simultaneously. The

Chairperson or some other Trustee chosen by the Trustees present presides at each meeting. Every issue may be

determined by a simple majority of the votes cast at a meeting. Except for the chairperson of the meeting, who has a

second or casting vote, every Trustee has one vote on each issue.

Powers of Trustees

The Trustees have the following powers in the administration of the Charity in their capacity as Trustees:

To appoint (and remove) a Chairperson, Secretary, treasurer and other honorary officers from among their number on

such terms as they shall think fit;

To invite observers to attend meetings of the Trustees, and to pay their reasonable expenses out of the Charity's funds.

For the avoidance of doubt, such observers are not Trustees and shall not count towards the quorum for a meeting;

To delegate any of their functions to committees consisting of two or more individuals appointed by them. The Trustee

may:

Impose conditions when delegating.

Revoke or alter a delegation.

To delegate the day to day management of the affairs of the Charity in accordance with the directions of the Trustees to

any person;

To make standing orders consistent with Interdoceo's Articles and the Act to govern proceedings at general meetings;

To make such reasonable and proper rules or bye laws as they may deem necessary or expedient for the proper conduct

and management of the Charity provided;

To establish procedures to assist the resolution of disputes within the Charity; and

To exercise any powers of the Charity which are not reserved to the Member

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

INTERDOCEO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Interdoceo ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2018.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAS which is one of the listed bodies

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2018

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been

prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2015)',

Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of

Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost

convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it

is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the

charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and

the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has

been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly

attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of

resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but

not accrued as expenditure.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions

arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
