## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Charity is governed by a Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association both of which are dated 2[nd] January 1991. 

The Charity is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee. 

## **Trustee Selection Methods** 

Directors, who are also Charity Trustees, are elected for 3 years by Members at the Annual General Meeting. 

Any potential new Trustee must be recommended by the Committee, or, if not, notice of not less than 42 days nor more than 72 days must be given to the Company of the intention to propose a person for appointment. Not less than 14 nor more than 35 clear days before the date appointed for holding a General Meeting, notice must be given to Members of those whose approval for appointment as Trustees will be sought at that meeting.  If the vacancy resulting from a Trustee retiring by rotation is not filled, then the retiring Trustee will, if willing, be deemed to have been re-appointed. If there are more nominations than there are vacancies, an election is held. Trustees are also directors for the purposes of company law. 

There is an agreed procedure for the appointment of Trustees/Directors on the Charity’s website, which potential nominees are required to follow. All Trustees should participate in the on-line NCVO training programme for Trustees, as part of the formal training and induction programme. 

## **Organisation** 

The Trustees manage the business of the Charity: there must be no fewer than 6 Trustees and not more than 9. At the end of 2021 there were 8 Trustees. The quorum is 5. 

Some Trustees are allocated responsibility for a particular part of the Charity’s activities.  As well as the specifically elected roles, responsibilities of Trustees include Health and Safety and Publicity.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Summary of the Purposes of the Charity:** 

The Company was established for the restoration and preservation of steam locomotives and other railwayrelated material with links to the North East of England. 

## **The Charitable Objectives are:** 

“Promoting and encouraging the restoration and preservation of railway locomotives, carriages, wagons and other artefacts of historical interest and buildings, connected therewith in particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, those connected with the North East of England, and the preservation of books, drawings, records, documents, sound and visual recordings, cinematograph films and photographs relating to such artefacts and vehicles, their history and their development.” 

## **Activities** 

The Company achieves these objects, primarily, through the ownership, maintenance, operation and display of four steam locomotives (Class K1 62005, Q6 63395, J27 65894 and J72 69023) which, prior to withdrawal, were operated by British Railways and had worked in the North East of England. 

## **The Main, Relevant Activities of the Charity are as follows:** 

- i. Maintaining and overhauling the four locomotives to the relevant statutory standards in locations where, whenever possible, members of the public can observe what is going on and talk to those carrying out the work. This work requires the provision of materials, tools and equipment. 

- ii. Arranging, whenever possible, for the locomotives to operate either on Heritage Railways, or the national network. 

- iii. Carrying out as much repair, maintenance and overhaul work on the locomotives as possible by volunteers who are members of the Charity. Some specialist work is outsourced. 

- iv. Fundraising through the activities of the Board’s Financial Strategy Committee, which also manages its Patron membership scheme. 

- v. Using a building (Deviation Shed), which is open to the public to view, situated at Grosmont on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR), for the major overhaul, maintenance and storage of locomotives. 

- vi. Using a building, leased from Darlington Borough Council, which is open to the public on the third Saturday of every month, located at Hopetown, Darlington, for the overhaul and maintenance of locomotives. 

- vii. Continuing to create and maintain an important Archive which is developed through frequent appeals to the Group’s membership for additional material.  The Archive is stored at the National Railway Museum at York, and at the NYMR archive at Pickering. It is currently being catalogued.  In due course the archived material will be made available to members of the public. 

- viii. Having an open membership so that everyone can apply for membership. 

- ix. Having a website, much of which is accessible by the public. 

- x. Providing training to those members who wish to help with the maintenance and overhaul of locomotives. A number of members are sponsored for Personal Track Safety (PTS) certification to support running our locomotives on the national network. 

- xi. Holding a series of Social Meetings during the Winter with speakers on railway topics. These meetings are open to the public. 



## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity in 2021: Another Unusual Year** 

The year 2021 saw the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Working parties continued under the control measures previously devised for activities at Carnforth, Deviation Shed, Hopetown Works, Fort William Depot, on Jacobite Operations and use of the Company van. Working parties remained limited in size and volunteers were asked to stay away, unless specifically rostered. 

The Board continued to meet using Skype video conferencing software. No Social meetings were held. Deviation Shed (except for the donation box) and Hopetown were closed to the public. The AGM, and two (combined) SGM motions, were conducted by postal ballot, in the interest of good governance. 

## **Maintenance and Overhaul** 

Winter maintenance was carried out on the J27 in Deviation Shed at Grosmont, whilst the Q6 boiler work was progressed and a number of other maintenance tasks were undertaken. Winter maintenance and repairs on the K1 and support coach took place at West Coast Railway Company’s base at Carnforth and at Grosmont. The J72’s 10-year overhaul at Hopetown Works continued. The boiler was gradually dismantled and revealed more significant work was needed in the firebox area, leading to a revised estimate of costs (including material cost increases) and a ballot of members, to approve additional funds, was held at the end of the year. The pattern making for the new cylinder block was completed. 

## **Operation** 

After completing some crew training/competency work on the NYMR, the K1 worked the Jacobite between Fort William and Mallaig from late April to mid-June. However, tyre flange wear reduced the thickness to the minimum and the locomotive returned to Carnforth, in preparation for overhaul. A ballot of members approved the estimated expenditure for the overhaul. The K1 logged 3436 miles in the year. 

The J27 re-entered traffic at the NYMR in June and was also used at the North Tyneside Railway’s gala in July. The total mileage run by the locomotive was 2933. 

The Q6 re-entered traffic at the NYMR in October. The total mileage run by the locomotive was 495. 

## **Volunteer Input** 

The hours worked by volunteers during 2021 were equivalent to the hours which would have been worked by 6 full time persons (volunteer input was reduced because of Covid-19 measures). 

Our volunteer efforts normally include Junior Volunteers (under 16s). The JVs have been unable to attend working parties this year, because of the retirement of the JV Coordinator for health reasons. 

## **Building Maintenance** 

At Grosmont, Deviation Shed saw continued maintenance of the fabric of the building, roller shutter door maintenance, and regular equipment checks (including the defibrillator and PAT testing of electrical equipment). Tests of lifting gear, ladders and fixed wiring were carried out by the NYMR. 

A number of non-North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG) locomotives have been stored in Deviation Shed at various times during the year. 

A health and safety review at Hopetown has produced a list of actions requiring attention and the Board is considering how best to take these actions forward. 

A total of £410.00 has been donated to the Charity through the Grosmont collection box by members of the public. 



## **Membership** 

Membership of the Group at the end of 2021 stood at 690 (including joint members). 

## **Social Meetings** 

No meetings were held because of Covid-19. 

## **Communications** 

Regular reports on the progress of locomotive maintenance and overhaul are published on the Charity website and in its bi-monthly members magazine, supplemented by emails to working volunteers. 

The Charity published and distributed 6 issues of NELPG News, the members magazine, which remains the journal of record. 

No members’ Open Meeting has been possible this year. 

## **Reporting** 

The have been no matters to report to the Charity Commission in 2021. 

## **Archive** 

We continue to add material to our archive. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Year-End Financial Position:** 

At the end of the period under review, the Charity had total funds of £795,631 (2020 = £740,757), an increase of £54,874. Full details will be found in the Accounts. 

## **Statement Regarding Policy for Holding Reserves:** 

The reserves policy is to provide for unforeseen expenditure, which can sometimes arise when key components of the locomotives require renewal earlier than expected. The policy is to maintain a reserve of £100,000. The Trustees have designated funds to a total value of £460,339 as a "Locomotive Maintenance Fund" to cover the on-going operation and maintenance of our locomotives, and a further £266,483 to a "Locomotive Overhaul Fund" designed to accumulate funds to support major overhauls of our locomotives. 

## **Investment Policy:** 

The investment policy aims to obtain the best available rate of return on a range of accounts with banks and building societies, each investment being at the maximum covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and over a fixed term of the order of 12 months. Some funds are held in two accounts which allow withdrawal in 1 day and 90 days respectively. A more significant sum is invested in the COIF Charities Global Equity Income Fund for a better rate of return. 

## **Details of Funds Materially in Deficit** 

No funds are materially in deficit. 

## **Uncertainties about the Charity Continuing as a Going Concern** 

At this point in time there are no doubts about the Charity continuing as a going concern. 

## **Principal Sources of Fundraising** 

During 2021 the Charity’s Principal Sources of Fundraising were as follows 

i Fees paid by those hiring locomotives; 

ii Donations and grants, particularly in favour of the J72 Appeal; 

iii Subscriptions, including the Patron Membership Scheme; 

iv Legacy giving; 

v Sales. 



## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have identified a number of risks. The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and the systems and procedures to mitigate and respond to these risks are: 

- i Safe maintenance, overhaul and operation of the locomotives. The Charity has in place a Risk Assessment and a procedure for its review, amendment and approval. In addition, an Operating Manual is in place for operations at Fort William, supported by appropriate reporting lines and structure, to ensure it is applied in day-to-day operation. There are preventive maintenance procedures and all new volunteers are briefed on safety. To further protect the Charitable Company, it has appropriate insurance. 

- ii Difficult economic conditions. The Charity has in place financial procedures to identify at an early stage the onset of potential problems and to develop plans to respond appropriately. 

- iii The continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our activities and income. Government guidelines and our own control measures will be kept under review. 

- iv Loss of volunteer resources, including sufficient Trustees, and the effect of changes in their age profile and physical ability. The Charity actively manages the wide base of volunteer skills and is developing a strategy for ensuring sufficient volunteer resources for the longer term, contracting work out where necessary, but Trustee numbers remain a concern. 

- v High costs associated with maintaining and operating steam locomotives, and increasing costs because of the increasing age of our volunteers resulting in more work having to be carried out on a paid contract basis. A strategy is being developed to ensure that resources are in place as and when they are needed, including the establishment of a reserve fund. 

- vi Difficulty in sourcing affordable coal fuel. The Group is engaged with other heritage stakeholders through the Heritage Railway Association. 

## **FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS** 

No funds are held as custodian trustee on behalf of others. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** 

## **There are Two Elements to Public Benefit** 

- i The “Public” element – which requires that the purpose of a charity must benefit the public in general or a sufficient section of the public and must not give rise to more than incidental personal development. 

- ii The “Benefit” element – which requires that the purpose of a charity must be beneficial in a way that can be identified and is capable of being proved by evidence where necessary and not based on an individual’s personal views. 

The Trustees of NELPG take the view that the preservation and operation of steam locomotives helps, considerably, to develop interest in and understanding of the history and development of railways, a mode of transport that arguably had its roots in the North East of England and which played such an important part in the development of the modern world.  This is considered “beneficial” even though it is difficult to quantify or measure. 

## **Awareness of Public Benefit Guidance** 

The Trustees confirm their compliance with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit Guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance relates. 



## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

Our plans will depend on the ongoing virus situation. The Trustees continue to monitor the situation carefully, taking account of Government advice and input from a number of bodies, including the Charity Commission, to minimise the impact on our objectives. 

We hope that the Q6 and J27 will see some service on the NYMR early in 2022. There have been some expressions of interest from other heritage railways in hiring the J27. The K1 has commenced a major overhaul, which we hope will see significant progress in 2022, towards completion in early 2023. The J72 overhaul will continue in 2022, with the boiler repair progressed and the production of the new cylinder block. 

Plans to vacate our workshop at Hopetown will be progressed and we hope to identify an alternative site in Darlington or on Teesside. 

As a result of our concentration on navigating our way through the virus situation, the Trustees have been unable to progress significantly a number of strategic issues which require more focus during 2022. This work includes: 

- i Establishment of a Locomotive Sub Committee. 

- ii Delivery of a long-term strategy for the overhaul, maintenance and operation of our locomotives. 

- iii Delivery of a long-term financial plan to support the strategy for the overhaul, maintenance and operation of our locomotives. 

- iv Revision of the Group’s governance documents, including a review of safety and the Locomotive Maintenance Policy. 

- v Review of the way in which the organisation is managed, with a view to the Trustees spending less time on day-to-day matters and more on strategic issues. 

- vi Development of a long-term strategy aimed at ensuring that successors are available when key persons leave their posts. 

- vii Continued development of IT related systems. 

- viii Continued efforts to improve communications within the Board, within the Group and between the Group and like-minded organisations. 



## **INFORMATION ON FUNDRAISING PRACTICES** 

Although the Charity is not auditable under the guidance issued by the Charity Commission, we are aware of the Fundraising Regulator and we continue to consider the implications for our operations. 

## **Small Company Provisions:** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTH EASTERN LOCOMOTIVE PRESERVATION GROUP** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTH EASTERN LOCOMOTIVE PRESERVATION GROUP** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **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.
