Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31st October 2021
The Directors present below their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st October 2021.
Activities and Review
The Tabley House Collection Trust is a company limited by guarantee which became a registered charity on 26th July 1995. The Trust exists to promote the appreciation of the arts among the general public by the display, in the principal rooms at Tabley House, of the Tabley House Collection of paintings, furniture, objets d'art etc on loan to it from the University of Manchester.
The Collection is open for the general public on four days each week annually from April until the end of October, and on Bank Holiday Mondays.
Volunteer room stewards provided information to visitors under the leadership of the Administration staff, who also organised numerous events held during the year in the rooms. The Directors wish to record their appreciation of the high standard of knowledge of the Collection among room stewards and of their willingness to attend at the rooms throughout the season, and the leadership displayed by the administration in the management of volunteers.
The tea room operator Victoriana Ltd, on the back of their successful first three years, have been offered, and accepted, a further three year lease.
The Portico Room and the Gallery remain popular venues for the performance of civil marriages.
Finance
Operating income for the year was comparable with the previous, up in some catagories and down in others. The administrative team continues to direct its energies towards marketing the wedding and other corporate hire, including film location work.
The Trustees have continued to maintain a tight control on the cost base as far as possible, (overall decrease of 28% on prior year).
The Trustees will continue to monitor the cost base especially in the light of the restictions that COVID-19 have imposed on the world. The Trustees are confident with government grants and tight controls, that the collection will weather this strange time and come out the other side in as good a condition as possible.

No Director has any beneficial interest in the company. All Directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. The number of guarantees at 31st October 2021 was 6 (2020 - 6).
The Trust had three (2020: 2) employees, 1 full-time, 1 part-time.
Director's Responsibilities
Company law requires the Directors, who are also the charity trustees, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities

Auditors
For the period, the company was entitled to claim exemption from full audit under Section 477 and no notice from members requiring an audit has been deposited under Section of 476 of the Companies Act 2006 for the financial year. At the request of the Directors, an Independent Examination of the accounts was carried out and the Report is shown on Page 5.
