Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 December 2024

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Review of progress and achievements:

The Old Chapel income from lettings more than doubled in 2024, but is still not sufficient to cover overheads, however Hartpury Church continues to make good use of it and covers the shortfall. During the year we fitted wall heaters with the intention of replacing the oil-fired boiler if they prove sufficient. They will be far more suitable for shorter lettings.

Work on the restoration of the Old Forge is at last well underway, with completion expected in late spring 2025. This will include a new septic tank which will also serve the Old Chapel, avoiding the need for twice yearly pump-outs.

The carpark shared with the church is working well and is very unobtrusive. Most of the paddock is mown so that it can be used for various activities, such as the church plant sale, but a section is being planted as a small heritage orchard, with significant local and other historic fruit varieties. The grass is allowed to grow in the remainder encouraging a wider rage of biodiversity. The church organised an ecology morning to highlight the issue.

Trustees Steve French and Jim Chapman walked around the orchards and wetlands at the Orchard Centre with Laurence Richards the GWT Agroforestry adviser and Andy Ellis, a trustee of Gloucestershire Orchard Trust. GOT is interested in taking over responsibility for the orchards, provided they can sort out the stewardship grant, which is due for renewal in 2026. Laurence will be advising us on the options available for stewardship funding and ways in which we can improve the conservation value of both orchards and wetland. We had intended to hold our usual Wassail at the start of the year, but this had to be cancelled due to the extremely wet ground conditions making parking difficult. We might need to consider a similar carpark to that at the church. The date we chose for our Blossom Day celebrations was rather after most blossom was over, nonetheless many came and walked around the orchards enjoying a cup of tea afterwards. Gordon Kirk kindly led our Dawn Chorus walk as Keith again had family commitments. In June we set up our usual display at the Royal Three Counties show.

We held our Plum Day in August, displaying a wider range of plum varieties thanks in part to Gloucestershire Orchard Trust's Longney orchards. The display was again well received, and we will try to make it an annual fixture. In September, our own perry display was again on a Saturday, due to the car rally on the Sunday. We were awarded a gold medal for our perry pear display at the Malvern Show. We supplied the pears for the Perry Day at the Hereford Courtyard theatre event and finally the Big Apple weekend brought to an end an exhausting season. Interspersed with these activities were the usual number of groups visiting the Orchard Centre.

Peter Mitchell held his last training week at the Centre during the year. Following his retirement and Chris Atkins' decision to give up cider and perry production it seemed a good opportunity to review perry production at the Centre

Investment performance

Investments are placed with the CBF Church of England Investment Funds.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Income which is project based is utilised in meeting that project and reserves are only accumulated in the interim until the expenditure is met.

Funds in deficit

All funds are fully funded and any deficit which arises is only short term resulting from claims against guaranteed funders which have not yet been received.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Constitution as a non profit distributing body incorporated in England and Wales and limited by guarantee.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

New trustees are appointed as required by the other trustees from those with an active interest in the objects of the trust.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hartpury Heritage Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hartpury Heritage Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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'). 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

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  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)).

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on cost and 10% on cost

Heritage assets

The trust preserves two heritage assets, the Old Chapel at Hartpury which it acquired and refurbished and the Bee Shelter which has been relocated and restored.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life of 50 years.

Heritage assets - 2% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The trust is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
