The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust Trustees annual report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2021
Objectives and activities
The principal objectives are to advance the education of the public by the provision of facilities for sail training and to maintain, promote, restore, conserve, improve and develop historic and traditional sailing craft.
Public benefit
The Trust gives discounts of up to 30% to be given to youth groups to fulfil the objective to support young people.
The policy of the Trustees is for the yard to be open to the public within the restraints of Health and Safety requirements so that the public can see a traditional working Broads boat yard.
The Hunter yachts are well known and loved by many thus the Trustees not only maintain the Fleet in good condition but also ensure the yachts are sailed as often as possible so that the public can enjoy the sight of traditional sailing boats.
The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on public benefit in planning the activities undertaken by the charity.
Achievements and performance and plans for the future
The continuing difficult trading conditions presented by the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a very conservative approach to the financial year. In the event certain aspects of the pandemic resulted in achieving far better results than we expected. The foreign travel restrictions resulted in a very satisfactory level of bookings.
During the year the Trust began exploring enhancing our social media presence and as a result a new web-site and booking system are being created dedicated expressly to the experience which the Trust can offer. The Heritage Lottery approved a further grant from their Covid 19 emergency support fund and this was very welcome as it covered the costs of the extra work entailed to ensure staff and customers could stay safe and Covid free. The grant included an element towards ensuring that there were sufficient reserves to allow for a safety net.
The Trust was honoured by a visit from HRH The Princes Royal as part of the celebrations to mark our first 25 years.
Looking forward we expect to engage at least two more staff, one working with the boats and another in the office on bookings and reception. We are also exploring engaging a fund-raising firm to assist us in accessing grants in line with the aims of the Trust. Our small team, closely engaged in keeping the yard at work cannot have the time and expertise which a dedicated professional firm can bring to the assistance of the Trust.
We hope to continue electrifying the sailing experience which we offer and a longer term objective is to create an apprenticeship scheme.
Financial Review
The net income for the year, before gains and losses, was £57,601 (2020 – net income of £60,088), as shown on page 6.
During the year the Trust awarded bursaries to schools and youth groups amounting to £1,256 (2020 - £954).
The results of the Trust’s wholly owned subsidiary, Hunters Fleet Limited, are shown in note 7 of the accounts.
The Trustees consider the results for the year and the year end position to be satisfactory.
In addition to donations the Trust benefited from voluntary help from various individuals, to whom grateful thanks are extended.

Reserves Policy
The reserves of the charity at 31 December 2021 comprised:
| General Fund Designated Funds Repair Fund (premises) The Friends of the Hunters Fleet Restricted Funds |
£ 184,554 24,987 17,066 26,699 253,306 |
|---|---|
The free reserves referred to above do not include provision for the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme deficit of £9,000. Deficit contributions are being made by the Trust in addition to monthly contributions in line with payroll. The estimated value of contributions during the next financial year is £20,000.
It is the long term intention of the Trustees to build up the reserves within the General Fund and the Repair Fund to a level equivalent to 6 months expenditure, which amounts to approximately £120,000. This level of reserves is considered appropriate to provide for unexpected repair and maintenance costs and in case funds are required to cover temporary downturns in income.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust For the year ended 31 December 2021
I report to the Charity’s Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the group and the company for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 20.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the group and 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 group and 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 group and company 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 the group and company’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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the group and company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021
1. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of accounting
The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity. 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 described within the Trustees Report on pages 1 to 4.
Statement of compliance and basis of preparation:
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 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) Group accounts
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary Hunters Fleet Limited on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
(c) Fund accounting
• Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
• Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
• Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
(d) Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probably that the income will be received.
• Income from donations and legacies includes grants, donations, and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitlement is established. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
-
Subscriptions are accounted for on a received basis.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Income from charitable activities are accounted for when earned.
• Income from long term moorings is released over the period of the mooring.

The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
(e) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
-
Charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
(f) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold land Not depreciated Buildings 2% straight line New dyke 2% straight line Plant and equipment 20% straight line Office equipment & web site 33[1] /3% straight line Hire fleet 2.5% straight line Motor vehicles 33% straight line
(g) Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.
(h) Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

The Norfolk Heritage Fleet Trust Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
(i) Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
(j) Employee benefits
The charity operates a defined benefit plan for the benefit of its qualifying employees. A liability for the charity’s obligations under the plan is recognised net of plan assets. The net change in the net defined benefit liability is recognised as the cost of the defined benefit plan during the period. Pension plan assets are measured at fair value and the defined benefit obligation is measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method. Actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated at each balance sheet date.
One member of the charity’s staff belongs to the Norfolk County Council Pension Fund, which provides benefits based on final pensionable pay.
The charity also operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable and directly allocated to the activities of the Trust.
(k) 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.
The trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the trust in making this assessment.
