## **Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society Trust Trustees’ annual report For the year to 28[th] February 2021 (continued)**
## **Structure and governance**
Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society Trust is an unincorporated registered charity established by a trust deed dated 13[th] September 1997.
## **Objects of the charity**
The objects are to preserve the railway line between Ravenglass and Eskdale in the county of Cumbria and the maintenance and protection of such structures, buildings, plant, locomotives, rolling stock and equipment on or adjacent to or connected with the said railway as are of historical, cultural, architectural, constructional or scientific interest or exhibit craftmanship worthy of preservation.
## **Achievements in the year**
The Trust income and outgoings have been dominated this year by donations of nearly £12k towards the Steam Locomotive Maintenance Fund, enabling gift aid to be claimed, and a bequest of similar value.
The Trust funded the booklet 'It's Still A Lot Of Fun' as an educational and historic record of Society and Railway events.
## **Financial review**
During the year the charity received income of £25,655 (2020 - £1,319) and made payments of £24,529 (2020 - £1,153). The income this year included bequests of £12,000 (2020 - £25).
There was therefore an excess of receipts over payments for the year of £1,126 (2019 – excess of receipts over payment £166).
This was added to the funds brought forward of £106,129 (2020 - £105,963) to give a level of funds at the year-end of £107,255 (2020 - £106,129).

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society Trust**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 28[th] February 2021, which are set out on pages 4 to 5.
## **Responsibilities and basis for report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trustee’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
