Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

The Trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the independently examined financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

The Charity is a Company limited by guarantee and has no share capital and was incorporated  on 21st February 1995. The Charity was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed under its Articles of Association.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The main objective is to increase the public's understanding and educational use of the fort. in the form of the written word, illustrations, guided tours, audio-visual presentations and the staging of special events in and around the Fort. 

The objectives of the Charity are to advance the education of the public about: 

" the role of Landguard Fort, Felixstowe as a building of great historical and educational interest in the defence of the realm, and 

" the ways in which the inhabitants of Landguard Fort lived their daily lives 

## **Significant activities** 

The Charity’s aims are to open Landguard Fort to the public and to create a unique exhibition, educational facility and visitor attraction. This is achieved through a Local Management Agreement with English Heritage Trust and the recruitment of a force of Landguard Fort Volunteers without whom the aspirations could not be met. A General Manager and Operations Assistant are employed to oversee the day to day running of the Trust's activities. 

The Trustees work with English Heritage Trust, Felixstowe Town Council, East Suffolk Council,  the Landguard Partnership, the recently formed Landguard and Felixstowe Conservation Trust and the Port of Felixstowe and thank them for their continuing and valued support, without which it would be considerably more difficult for the Trust to meet its charitable objectives.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and have strived to ensure that the Charity's activities reflect this. For the public benefit the Trust informs visitors of the history of Landguard Fort which is part of the heritage of England. 

This includes exhibitions of the lives and work of the soldiers who lived there throughout the  period 1650 to 1956 featuring exhibitions of guns, the historic development of the fort and the recreations of living and working conditions. 

The Trust continues to promote its role, this year using radio advertising and printed and social media channels to reach potential new audiences. We actively encourage visits from younger audiences with a policy of not only providing free visits for school groups but supplying an experienced guide for these groups wherever possible. We also collaborate with national heritage days allowing free entry, providing opportunities for visitors of all backgrounds to gain access to the fort. 

## **Volunteers** 

Volunteers remain at the heart of the Trust. Quite simply, without volunteers, the Trust would cease to exist. Volunteers perform all of the functions at the Trust except for the roles of General Manager and Operations Assistant. 

Nearly 50 volunteers, contributing over 12,500 hours of unpaid work annually, mean that the fort can be open for over seven months of the year, seven days a week. They are involved in all aspects of the fort's operations including the ticket office and shop, maintenance and conservation activities and events and shows. Volunteers lead educational visits, guide special groups, manage archiving and displays, and oversee the trust's governance. 

We warmly welcome new Volunteers aged 18 and above from all backgrounds, who can always find an area of interest in which to contribute to and join a community which not only prepares and presents the fort for our many visitors but also enjoys the fun of working together and shared  social events.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

The period covered by this report was again affected by the Covid pandemic following the very difficult 2021 season. 

The fort was again limited by a late start to the season but with the tremendous effort by volunteers we restarted our operation with the resolve to achieve as much as possible. We welcomed 14,850 actual visitors to the fort. The retention of the one-way system generated many positive comments. 

This, combined with the very successful shop and tea room continued to rank the fort as the No.1 attraction on Tripadvisor for visitors to Felixstowe. 

We held a few events which were very successful like hosting the Suffolk Youth orchestra and our Darrell’s Day celebration, pirates weekend, 95th Rifles and of course our hosting of the Mayor’s charity cheese and wine evening. We have also sold themed trails for our younger visitors all through the season and finished with sales of 2,381 trails. 

Our income, spend per head, rose significantly in 2021, this was driven by our active selling, new lines in the gift shop and our ever improving tearoom offer. To put this into context in 2019 LFT income was approximately 30k, this was based on a full season of being open seven days a week and 27,000 visitors. In 2021 the receipts were £35,106 (just on the Square card terminal alone). 

A fantastic result and a true testament to the team of volunteers that worked so hard all season. 

We continued to invest in the visitor experience: 

• Audio Tour Guides - Due to the ‘new’ one-way route for visitors, the audio guides and associated signage were updated to reflect the new route. Several audio tracks were re-recorded and the ‘points-of-interest’ signs re-ordered accordingly with new signage provided where required. 

• Multi-Media Tour Guides Downloadable to Visitors’ Smart Devices – Since the emergence of Covid-19, and the associated health risk to volunteers and the public handling and cleaning the audio handsets, it has not been possible to offer the handsets to our visitors for the last two years. 

Due to the uncertainty of when the level of risk will allow us to reintroduce the handsets, we decided to invest in an alternative safe method of delivering the audio tour. Several visitors had suggested that we provide the facility to download the audio tour to their personal smart devices (smartphone, tablet etc.) thus eliminating the risk of cross-contamination to visitors, staff and volunteers. The decision was taken to use our existing audio tour guide provider (Orpheo) who could deliver an affordable, downloadable, multi-media content to visitors' smart devices. 

The new Orpheo system increases the experience for those with access problems to inaccessible areas with pictures. The system allows us to control the content and is therefore “future proofed”.  It also allows ‘live’ interpretation of a site which cannot be physically altered either for access or physically restored. 

• Replacement of Interpretation panels – many of our interpretational panels were looking tired and the content in need of being updated therefore we embarked on the huge task of updating the panels. We were fortunate to have received a small grant from the council to help finance the project.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

At the close of 2021 season the trustees committed to a further recovery plan for 2021/22. This committed to create a new Deputy Manager position in order to help with day to day operations but also to drive income from special events. We also decide to recruit from the ‘Kickstart’ scheme where we could provide an opportunity for a young person to help with our wide range of activities while gaining valuable workplace experience. 

We continued to work closely with the nascent Landguard and Felixstowe Conservation Trust which was being formed as the Landguard Partnership was ending. 

We made significant progress in another difficult year and is therefore a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to our recovery. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The financial statements are set out on pages 10 to 21. The financial statements have 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 1st January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS102))and the Companies Act 2006 

The Trustees consider the financial performance by the Charity during the year to have been satisfactory. 

In common with most organisations, the Trust is exposed to increasing costs at the present time. Notwithstanding this, in association with English Heritage Trust it was decided not to raise our visitor admission prices for a second year thereby further making the fort an even better value-for-money destination. 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows net income for the year of £12,907 (2020: £25,618). Total Funds at 31 December 2021 stand at £212,937 (2020: £200,030). The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity holds an adequate amount of liquid assets (in the form of bank and building society deposits) to ensure that it is able to meet its obligations as they fall due. 

In completing this report the trustees have considered the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial health of the Trust. Whilst the restrictions were being relaxed from June 2021 there remained some uncertainty about further future restrictions due to the pandemic. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements including a reduced income scenario, and consider the charity will still have sufficient access to cash resources to operate in that period. The trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charity can continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

Landguard Fort Trust Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy Unrestricted Funds** 

Free reserves are represented by net current assets within the Unrestricted Funds of the Charity. Free reserves ensure the resilience and sustainability of the Charity in such circumstances as when encountering: 

- a temporary period of reduced income 

- an unexpected increase in operational costs 

- unexpected management/overhead costs 

The Trustees continue to take into account relevant guidance, including that provided by the Charity Commission in CC19 "Charity Reserves: Building Resilience". The continuing review examines potential risks and assesses these risks against costs to determine an appropriate and prudent level of reserves, together with an appropriate management framework, for 2021. This review has continued after the period of these accounts to consider the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic 

## **Designated Funds** 

As part of its review of Reserves the Trustees have confirmed the designation of Unrestricted Funds in respect of the following strategic developments included within the Trust's current strategic plans: 

## (i) Artefacts Fund 

The Trust is always looking at ways to enhance its collection of artifacts, particularly ordnance. These items are infrequently available and the Trust needs to be able to respond promptly to any opportunity as it emerges. In recent years the Trust has spent over £25,000 on ordnance. 

## (ii) Capital Investment Fund 

Several large-scale improvements have been identified by the Trustees as being required both to further enhance the visitor experience and promote the Trust's objectives or to ensure that artefacts are maintained in a suitable environment. 

Portable chemical toilets have been in use at the fort for many years. The significant increase in visitor numbers achieved in recent years mean that this solution is not considered by the Trustees to be sustainable and £20,000 has been allocated within the Capital Investment Fund for a project to provide permanent visitor facilities. It is hoped that external funding can also be secured in this respect as the overall cost is likely to be significant. Since the year end the Trustees agreed to allocate a further £30,000 for the Toilet Block Project 

## (iii) Heritage Lottery Fund 

There are significant opportunities for accessing Heritage Lottery funds which normally require an element of matched funding. This Fund has been established by the Trustees to allow the Trust to submit future bids as opportunities arise, either independently or in partnership with other organisations.

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 shown net of VAT. 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. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity including the following :- 

- Activities in furtherance of the charity's objectives
