Driffield Agricultural Society

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30th September 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The principal activities of the charitable company in the year under review were those of the advancement of the science and practise of agriculture, horticulture and kindred trades, professions and activities. To advance education for the public benefit.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

A Board of seven Directors meet on a regular basis. These Directors are also the Trustees of the Society. The Show Committee and Education Committee meet up to 3 times working on the activities of the Society, these meetings moved on to Zoom for the duration of the 2020/21 lockdowns. Regular meetings enable the membership to be integral to the workings of the organisation. At the start of all meetings a Director will give a report on the health of the Society and all committee members will be kept up to date with Society based activity. This process helps to keep the Society focused on its charitable objectives and activities. The Board have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives. The Trustees consider how planned activities contribute to the aims and objectives of the Society.

This year the Board have continued to meet more than ever, teleconferences and face to face were held monthly and more frequently as necessary. It is acknowledged that due to Covid-19 and the exceptional year of pandemic that the charity has been unable to deliver many of its usual projects to the wider community in the normal way. This has been considered and reviewed throughout the last 6 months where the vast majority of the charitable activity takes place.

How our activities deliver public benefit

The Society's normal public benefit is delivered through a number of different projects which run annually throughout the year, unfortunately, all other than the annual show were curtailed due to Covid-19. Driffield Show was able to go ahead in July as the first agricultural show in the country outside of the July easing. The show ran over two days with attendance capped each day. Budgets for the event were strongly managed and all that attended were able to enjoy attending the show.

In February the Society set up a new project to launch a series of videos all about farming into schools, the videos were filmed individually for the society on members farms, and each show a different aspect of farming. The first two went live on the society website in September and will be followed over the coming months with a further 8, this project initially set up to replace the 2021 education day will run side by side the society's other work for years to come and has already been well received by schools.

Whilst Covid-19 significantly reduced our usual activities for public benefit during this financial year we assisted the community in other ways. Very early in the pandemic the Society offered its facilities to East Riding of Yorkshire Council to help with the countywide response to Covid-19 - continuing to house the Council's Emergency Response Hub (until the end of January 2022), the Mobile Testing Unit twice a week on an ongoing basis and the local foodbank remained in our main facility (The Rix Pavilion) until August at which point they found their own premises to move into permanently.

Significant activities

The main charitable event of the charity is the Driffield Agricultural Show, which was held on 21st and 22nd July this year (a two day show for the first time). The Show brings together the local farming, rural and urban communities together and promotes the principal activity of the charitable company.

The Events Centre was completed in 2015 through the Charity's subsidiary Company, Driffield Showground Events Limited. The aim of this facility is to generate income to both protect the Society from poor weather costs at its main event (the Driffield Show) and also to further its charitable activities.

Grantmaking

The charity is not involved in providing grants.

The Focus of our work

The Society's objects are the advancement of the science and practise of agriculture, horticulture and kindred trades, professions and activities. To advance education for the public benefit. To further these objectives the Society look to encourage and promote agricultural education, research and knowledge, transfer and enhance the understanding of agriculture and land management practise amongst the wider population and, to encourage and advance sustainability through responsible stewardship of land and related resources consistent with the needs of future generations and thriving rural economy.

Volunteers

The charity relies heavily on volunteers, both members and non members, and committee and non committee representatives. None of the members of the Board received any benefits from the charity during the year.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The main charitable activities of the charity were those of the advancement of the science and practise of agricultural, horticulture and kindred trades, professions and activities. To advance education for the public benefit.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Society has had another difficult year with 6 months of the financial year being in lockdown or under strict restrictions as set by Government. Limited income and grants were obtained to keep the society afloat. The Society has recognised the factors that have resulted in the downturn of profits, and this has been acknowledged, a plan was formulated by the Board to help rectify this in the coming years with year one working successfully.

Principal funding sources

The charity is funded by a bank current account.

Investment policy and objectives

The Agricultural Society maintains an adequate current account to meet its day to day requirements.

The main NatWest account and other accounts used for the retention of this money are annually reviewed by the Board and any changes to the charity's investments reviewed before the end of each term.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30th September 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It has been agreed that the Society should in best practice maintain at least £150,000 in cash reserves. After a period of consolidation and the significant impact of COVID-19 this fund now needs to be restored to a working level, this will be achieved over the next few years. This then ensures the safe use and running of the Society's facilities and helps to prepare the Society for events in a future year which may create losses by preventing it from holding its annual show, educational events and other fundraising activities. This occurred with the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001 and poor weather during the summer of 2011 and 2012.

The Society received assets totalling £33,617 on the closure of The Rotary Club of Driffield Trust Fund. The application of the assets received is restricted to the operation of a bursary scheme, as set out in note 19. The assets constitute a restricted fund and can only be used for the intended purpose, which is narrower than the Society's general charitable objectives.

Unrestricted reserves can be spent as and when deemed necessary by the trustees, but normally in the pursuit of the Society's charitable objectives and in line with current fundraising practises.

The reserves policy will be reviewed annually by the Trustees of the Society.

As at 30 September 2021 the unrestricted funds reserve held £1,269,092 (2020: £1,300,810).

Funds in deficit

The charity has no funds in deficit.

General

The total income for the year amounted to £195,641 (2020: £217,116). Resources expended in the year amounted to £193,612 (2020: £199,294), resulting in a net surplus for the year of £2,029 (2020: £17,822).

Future developments

During the year, the Society have moved forward considerably with regards to developing the facilities on their showground through the wholly owned subsidiary, Driffield Showground Events Limited. Most of this work is now complete with this forthcoming year's focus being to develop the Driffield Show and its other events onsite further.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Driffield Agricultural Society is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company dated 29 August 1996 as amended by special resolutions dated 30 September 1997, 14 July 2003, 8 December 2009 and 23 January 2018.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

5 Trustees were appointed at the annual general meeting of the company's members on the 27 February 2018, eventually each will sit for 5 years, although initially to ensure rotation a board member will stand down each year for the first 5 years. After year one the members will be sought to nominate a new Board member at the Annual General Meeting.

Induction and training of new trustees

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Key management remuneration

The Society's trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the society. All trustee's give their time freely and no trustee received any remuneration in the year.

The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually and pay increases assessed on a year to year basis dependent upon average earnings and the performance of the society. The remuneration bench-mark is the range paid for similar roles within a Society with the pay maximum no greater than the highest benchmarked salary for a comparable role.

Wider network

The charity does not have a network of branches and operates solely from its office in Driffield.

Related parties

The charity has a 100% interest in Driffield Showground Events Limited. The activity of Driffield Showground Events Limited is the rental and organisation of non-charitable events on the Driffield Showground. The charity operates a current account with Driffield Showground Events Limited.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. A trustee (also acting as Treasurer) inspects the accounts on a quarterly basis and reports back to the Board. These systems have been established to enable regular monitoring of these risks so that their impact can be lessened. The trustees met 13 times during 2021 to review Society activity.

A Risk Management Assessment has been written considering the strategic, operational, administrative, and other areas of the business that is reviewed annually at Trustee level.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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)).
