## ANNUAL REPORT
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020
## AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This report covers the period from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2020. It is the twenty fourth annual report of the Charity which was set up by a Scheme sealed by Order of the Charity Commissioners on 23rd October 1996. The objects of the Charity are to apply the income of the Charity in relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the Parish of Lindale and Newton-in-Cartmel who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress, by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons. If and insofar as income is not required in any year for this purpose it is applied for such charitable purposes for the general or individual benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Lindale and Newton-in- Cartmel as the Trustees shall think fit.
## APPLICATION OF INCOME
Having defrayed the cost of maintaining the Charity properties and of the administration of the Charity, donations were made to local causes. Assistance was given to the following local causes for charitiable purposes and for the general benefit of the inhabitants of the area of benefit. Grants were made towards the cutting of grass at Lindale churchyard for the general benefit of parishioners, to Lindale School for replacement defibrillator pads, to High Newton Village Hall for roof repairs, to Leven Valley School for a consortium (which includes Lindale School) sports event. Donations to bodies outside the parish but for the potential benefit of parishioners as follows: Rosemere Cancer Foundation; St Mary's Hospice; North West Air Ambulance; Springfield Women's Refuge and North West Blood Bikes;
## MANGEMENT OF CHARITY LAND AND BUILDINGS
The Trustees continued to instruct Harrison Coward of Ulverston as agents for letting and managing the land and properties owned by the Charity, the Trustees were consulted regularly. The grazing land continued to be let on 3-year grazing agreements. The three letting properties at Skinner Hill were occupied on assured shorthold tenancies during 2020. The Trustees met with a representative of Electricity Northwest on 5th December 2019 to discuss wayleave agreements and a substation lease held by the trust. New agreements and rents are being negotiated but still have not been completed. A number of repairs on the properties were completed during the year. 1 Myles Taylor Barn required a replacement door and windows, 2 Myles Taylor Barn had replacement doors and windows, kitchen painted and part of the lounge painted. All of the allotments owned by the Charity were eventually occupied for the year. All property and land is now registered with the Land Registry and email alerts in place. When the routine maintenance was carried out on the septic tank it was noted that it's condition is deteriorating. The Trustees are investigating the way forward which may mean installing a treatment plant to comply with new legislation. The ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the properties has been affected by the retrictions that were in place due to the covid pandemic.
## INVESTMENTS
The development of the Skinner Hill properties, completed by the Trustees in 1996, produced a regular income in 2020 to meet the charity's objectives. It is unlikely that the capital value of these properties increased through the year. Cash is invested in a number of sound financial institutions. The Trustees agreed to rent reductions during the lockdown period as tenants were unable to work.

## TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees 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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## TO THE TRUSTEES OF TAYLOR NEWTON AND HIBBERT CHARITY TRUST
We report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st December 2020, which are set out on Pages 1 to 6
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity is preparing accrued accounts, and we are qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
It is our responsibility to examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities 2011 Act and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:-
- 1 which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
