The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective on 1 January 2019 (Updated second edition – October 19).

DESCRIPTION OF CHARITY’S TRUSTS AND OBJECTS

The City Council acquired Norfolk Park by virtue of a conveyance dated 18 April 1910 from the Duke of Norfolk. The City Council holds the land acquired on trust for charitable purposes. The governing document is the scheme dated 24 August 1998.

The park is held on trust as a public park, recreation ground and community centre. There is further provision that access to the park will be at no charge and there are restrictions on the sort of public meetings that can be held.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Norfolk Heritage Park is a charity and the sole Trustee is Sheffield City Council. The Charity Trustee Sub Committee is a standing sub committee of the Strategy and Resources Policy Committee. It has been established to take all decisions of the Council, including but not limited to disposal of and other dealings with charitable land.

Management of the park is the responsibility of the Councils’ Parks and Countryside service. Management and administrative decisions are not decisions of the Council as Trustee, and are made by the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services, the Director of Parks, Leisure and Libraries, or the head of Parks and Countryside service in accordance with the Arrangements for the Delegation of Functions To Officers, under part 3 of the Council’s constitution.

The park is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Parks Area Team Leader & gardeners with the centre managed via Parks & Property & Facility Management. Overall, this is overseen by the Area Manager.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have complied with the duty in s. 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Details of how the charity has carried out its activities for the public benefit are given in the section below.

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Norfolk Heritage Park is classed as a City Park and is one of the oldest parks in the country. From 1999-2005 the park has been regenerated through a national lottery restoration project. New visitor facilities have been constructed including the Centre in the Park, a multi-purpose community building. The park landscape has been restored to its original Victorian character. A new sports pavilion and car park were opened in March 2005. Renovation and renewal of new Playground facilities was completed.

The latest major development has been the redevelopment of the Sports Pitches, which were officially opened in Spring 2011 and are now used by the local schools and community.

In 2019 a new footpath link between Jervis Lum & Beeches Drive was installed creating better access links into the park. To allow controlled entry to the park a new rising arm barrier was fitted at the entrance off Guildford Avenue.

In 2023, 16 new litter bins were installed throughout the park.

Norfolk Heritage Park has the following facilities for park visitors:

NORFOLK HERITAGE PARK TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Centre in the Park

During winter 2022- spring 2023 SCC Parks & Countryside relocated its office based operational services to Norfolk Pk following the impending closure of the Moorfoot Building in Sheffield City Centre. Several rooms have now been converted into office space for Parks & Countryside Officers to utilise. The centre can still be hired out for meetings for external clients.

We have successfully reconfigured the building around the core use of Age UK who have established a local service delivery hub within the building taking four of the larger community rooms and bringing increased family usage to the centre which will help to safeguard the long-term viability of the café within the centre.

We have worked with the operators of the crèche to restructure the operation and make it more sustainable which will allow them to continue to provide preschool places within the local area and continue to use facilities within the centre.

Groups with an interest in the park

A new Friends of Norfolk Pk were formed in the year 22/23 with a view to enhancing the park & working with other stakeholders.

The Friends of Norfolk Park are looking to secure grant funding to match fund new signage through the park in 2024. There are also plans to secure working days with the Ranger team to facilitate working in areas of the park.

A new Café operator has now been given a lease to run the café within the Centre. Trading commenced March 2023 & to date has been very successful & provided a much-needed facility for the local community & park users.

NORFOLK HERITAGE PARK TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The trustees will continue to work with key stakeholders to further develop Norfolk Heritage Park.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND FUNDING

Restricted fund - Net expenditure of £50,002 (22/23: expenditure of £21,258).

The revaluation of assets this year showed an increase in value of £886,496 on Centre in the Park and the lodges. There was an impairment in value on the Car Park.

Unrestricted funds - Net income of £8,458 which is investment income (22/23: £3,518). The income from charitable activities was £100,509 (22/23: £66,519) with expenditure of £297,704 (22/23: £229,886). The deficit was funded by the grant from Sheffield City Council of £213,503 (22/23: £204,906).

In 23/24 post- pandemic activity on events is resuming. The expenditure on charitable activities and raising funds increased by £34,155 this year largely due to repairs on the entrance and perimeter as well as increasing utilities costs. However, there was a corresponding increase in income of £33,990 due to additional music room hire and other room recharges.

5

At 31 March 2024 the charity had total funds of £2,572,669 (22/23: £1,727,718). These funds are mainly tied up in fixed assets and investments.

Restricted funds of £2,397,511 (22/23: £1,561,017) were held mainly as fixed assets. The increase this year of £844,951 is as a result of assets being revalued upwards, in particular on the Centre in the Park and Lodges.

Endowment and designated funds of £175,158 (22/23: £166,700) were held as investments.

There was investment income of £8,458 (22/23: £3,518) and this has been transferred to the Designated Fund which now totals £15,098 and is available to spend in accordance with the Charity’s Trusts & Objectives.

RESERVES POLICY

As the charity is managed and funded by the Council, no specific unrestricted charity reserves are deemed to be necessary.

Annual revenue expenditure is generally greater than income and the variance is borne by the Council and not carried forward into the next financial year.

This charity has specific monies invested in the Council’s internal investment fund. Interest is received half yearly on the monies invested. The investment monies are held as endowment funds and any interest earned is unrestricted income. This income has been earmarked by the trustees for use at the site for one-off projects rather than ongoing costs and has therefore been shown as a designated fund.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The charity is dependent for its day-to-day management upon Sheffield City Council. It is therefore considered expedient and cost effective for the charity to adopt the Council’s risk management policy and strategy, which it considers is a crucial part of the service planning process in highlighting key risks and how they affect the Council’s ability to deliver its service and how they will be managed. The Council has incorporated a formal approach to risk management in its day-to-day operations and has developed a toolkit to allow managers to identify risk, which would prevent them from achieving their objectives and to provide information and guidance on how these risks can be managed. The Council operates an Internal Insurance Account covering a variety of risks.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF Norfolk Park

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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 that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NORFOLK HERITAGE PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. Accounting Polices

Norfolk Heritage Park is a registered charity in England. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are to provide a public park, recreation ground and community centre.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective on 1 January 2019 (Updated second edition – October 19), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

1.1 Fixed assets

Norfolk Park is classified as a Community Asset. The trustees policy is to value Community Assets at £Nil.

Land and buildings are carried in the accounts at deemed cost, as at transition to SORP (FRS 102).

Expenditure on fixed assets is capitalised, provided that the fixed asset yields benefit to the charity and the services it provides are for a period of more than one year.

Assets have been reviewed for any impairment loss in respect of consumption of economic benefit.

In 23/24 the assets were revalued by Property Services at Sheffield City Council.

12

NORFOLK HERITAGE PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.2 Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of the assets over their expected useful lives as follows:

1.3 Investments

Fund balances are invested internally with Sheffield City Council. Investments are held at market value.

1.4 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise of unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for specific purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally investments. Income arising on the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund.

1.5 Income

Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included in income when it is probable that the income will be received, and is allocated to the appropriate fund.

Investment income is included when receivable.

Rental, events, room hire and similar income is included when the event or function has taken place.

The cost of running the park is funded by Sheffield City Council. Annual revenue expenditure is generally greater than income and any variance is borne by the Council by way of a grant to the charity.

13

NORFOLK HERITAGE PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, net of any VAT, which can be recovered as Sheffield City Council is the sole trustee and therefore has special status under s33 VAT Act 1994.

The main exception to this treatment is payments for such items as gas and electricity are charged at the date of the meter reading rather than being apportioned between years. This policy is applied consistently each year.

Expenditure has been allocated to the activities to which it is directly attributable.

Cost of raising funds

The cost of generating any external funding, such as grant applications and events, is attributable to the time of Sheffield City Council officers who work on a range of projects including the charity. As such it is not possible to accurately apportion the cost of this to the charity so no charge is included in the accounts.

Charitable activities

Charitable activities are set out within the charitable deeds and represent the costs associated with the running and maintenance of the park.

Governance costs

Independent examination costs and finance officer costs are charged to the charity. The Council currently absorbs the cost of other officers’ time. This policy is kept under review.

Staff costs

The staff who work for the charity are employed by Sheffield City Council, and are subject to the terms and conditions of that organisation. The costs of such staff are recharged to the charity. Full disclosure of the relevant staff costs and numbers is provided in the notes to these financial statements.

Pensions

City Council employees may participate in the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, which provides members with defined benefits related to pay and service. The City Council makes payments for this group of employees to the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority, which administers pension arrangements on behalf of Sheffield City Council and the other local authorities in the South Yorkshire area. The City Council bears any deficit or surplus on the scheme and does not charge this to the charity.

1.7 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

14

NORFOLK HERITAGE PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.9 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
