LYME REGIS DEVELOPMENT TRUST
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Objectives and activities
The Trust's objects as stated in its Memorandum of Association are:
"to promote general charitable purposes for the benefit of the community of Lyme Regis and the surrounding area and to provide relief from poverty and disadvantage and to advance education of its residents of all ages; and in particular to provide opportunities for the aforementioned residents to participate fully in the life of their community in ways which address and alleviate social and economic deprivation"
At our AGM in 2008, we adopted this plainer version:
Lyme Regis Development Trust is a community based organisation that works to stimulate the economic, social and environmental well being for all in Lyme Regis and its surrounding area.
Public Benefit
The trustees have considered LRDT's objectives and strategies to achieve them in the light of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. We consider that our aims are charitable and for public benefit (our geographical restriction being acknowledged as "generally reasonable") and that our strategies reflect these aims and are designed to deliver clear benefits to eligible classes of the public. The benefit to the public is clearly demonstrated in the following activities:

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Achievements and Performance
Overview
2020 inevitably turned out to be a difficult year due to the COVID pandemic, especially for the HUB which lost most of its paying customers, not all of whom returned.
The Trust had a fairly stable Trustee board after Bill Trundley stepped down at the beginning of the year, and we appointed new Trustee in Malcolm Taylor who brings a wealth of HR experience from his employment at the Met Office.
We also had to ask Sue Davies to step down following updated Charity Commission guidance as there was an increased risk of Conflict of Interest as she had assumed the Chairmanship of LymeForward and was increasingly unable to offer time to LRDT.
Sadly, the expected merger with LymeForward was
not able to happen and both parties remained separate.
Due to the Covid crisis and the fact that we had a new CEO, Sue Howard remained Chair throughout 2020 for continuity and this was endorsed by all Trustees. All staff adapted to well to working from home, and we managed to keep in touch with frequent Zoom and Teams meetings, and by transferring our server onto the Microsoft Cloud which made access and collaboration across projects a lot easier. This also meant that Trustee meetings were able to continue as well and contact with outside bodies such as the Town Council.
We also made the permanent shift to QuickBooks online from our old QuickBooks pro desktop which (thanks to our Accountants Lentells) not only saved us money but gave us a lot more flexibility and reporting ability.
St Michaels business centre managed to weather the worst of the crisis, although we helped out 3 of the tenants in St Michaels Business Centre as they were unable to make the full rental payment and would have had to give notice. Thankfully we have managed to retain all the businesses that we started the year off with, and we were also lucky to have the Word Forest Organisation take over Unit 1 which was being rented on a temporary basis to another tenant.
Sadly, after reviewing all the positions within the Trust, we came to the conclusion that the Hub Manager role was no longer viable so unfortunately we made that position redundant in June.
With our focus on improving our presence in Lyme Regis, we were able to promote Cleo into the position of Marketing Manager later in 2020
We also welcomed our first volunteer in a long time, as Sarah Rutter joined us for one day a week and has been looking at our environmental policies and also some longer-term projects.
Fossil Festival
The Fossil Festival was one of the first casualties of Covid, and despite looking at running it later in the year, we decided it was not a viable prospect due to the social distancing requirements. Some of the work we had done outside the Festival Weekend was still able to take place though, and Jon rose to the occasion and managed to enable a “virtual” fossil festival website which has had 9500 unique visitors and 195,000 page views since it was published.
The Hub
As mentioned above, we lost most of the Hub Users due to lockdown, but thankfully the core users, B-Sharp, S W Kickboxing and Fitsteps continued to support where they could, and we were further bolstered by Helen French who was a new customer that runs a “use it or lose it” fitness groups for the over 65's
Youth Club unfortunately had to close but again we have taken the opportunity to look at our offering and we will be looking to improve our Youth Services by launching a Youth Academy. In conjunction with the Youth Leaders we will be canvassing parents and children alike to see what they would want from a Youth Club and what service are missing. We are already talking to Sport England about a potential youth archery group and have several other ideas which we hope to implement.

The Community Café
Unfortunately, we closed this down due to Covid, despite another successful clothes swap event. We fully intend to re-launch in 2021 and we have been successjul in obtaining a substantial grant from the Peoples Postcode lottery for this purpose. We have managed to secure the services of the ex LymeForward coordinators for this purpose and they are currently working on several new projects for us.
Lyme Bay Radio
The radio was launched on the ist March 2020 and closed down 4 weeks later due to Covid. We stayed off air for 2 months during which time Simon West stepped down as Station Manager, however we remain grateful to Simon for all the time and effort he put in to get the station launched. Our CEO stepped in on a temporary basis and with the help of Cleo we managed to re-launch in May with the majority of our programming being recorded by presenters at home. We also took the opportunity to completely re-brand the station which was all done in house by Cleo as the original look had been put together quickly and was not quite what we had had in mind.
During the re-launch we appointed Ashley Kellett as Station Manager who has gone on to shape the look and feel of the station into the professional outfit that it is today. We now have a waiting list of local people who want to be presenters, and over 80 hours of original programming each week.
The next step with the station is to seek advertisers as the few we had could not afford to continue.
The website is also due a complete revamp and work will start on this mid-2021.
The Workshop
The Workshop was finally launched in September 2020 under the guidance of Dot Wood. To say it has been a success would be an understatement as we now have a long waiting list of people wanting to try woodturning and other woodworking skills. Dot has been the driving force behind this and has built a brilliant team of professional wood turners who are happy to pass their skills and knowledge on to very willing and eager pupils. The workshop serves the dual purpose of being educational and also therapeutic and we have several cases where users have said that it is helped them socially or with anxiety issues. Although forced to close during various lockdowns, it has gone from strength to strength. The only issue we will have going forward is that we are running out of space.
Website
Cleo rebuilt the website and it has a brand new look and feel, and also revamped the LRDT logo into something more professional. Work continues into 2021 on this and we will be moving from Wix to a Wordpress site to enable more functionality e.g payments and purchases.
Property Management
Property Management started the year with a new flat purchase at Clappentail Court, adding to our portfolio and able to offer affordable accommodation in the local area.
Property Management was further bolstered with the addition of two new Directors. Mick Burke and Adrian Morgan who both joined mid-year and brought a wealth of business experience with them.
Dot Wood continued as Chair, and St Michaels business centre has managed to retain a full tenancy in her term despite Covid and the assistance we had to give to a number of tenants who were struggling due to the pandemic.
The Future
With an almost complete change of Trustees, there is a general feeling that 2021 will be a year where we review our activities of the past few years and start to re-define the key drivers of the Trust. The three projects listed above are just the start of a journey back to re-establishing itself and its purpose within the community of Lyme Regis and the surrounding area.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Financial review
The income of the Trust and its subsidiary company for the year amounted to £153,613 (2019: £204,685). The income for the year arises from the grant funding of £33,791, donations of £25,413 fundraising activities of £4,478, interest receivable of £2,441 and other income of £87,490.
Total expenditure for the year was £154,817 (2019: £170,921).
The net outgoing resources for the trust and its subsidiary company for the year were (£1,204) (2019: £92,063. The decrease arising largely because of an decrease in grants received, a fall in fund raising following cancelled events in 2020 and the fact a valuation on the property was carried out in 2019 which resulted in a gain on investments held.
The cash balances for the Trust and its subsidiary company at the end of the year were £288,690 (2019: £446,394) of which the general reserves was in a negative position as at the 31 December 2020 and £54,308 belonged to the subsidiary company, LRDT Property Management Ltd. The remaining funds are held for the specific projects managed by the Lyme Regis Development Trust.
Reserves policy
As required by the Charities Commission the Trust seeks to expend as much as possible on the activities consistent with its objectives, however, it is necessary to maintain reserves to ensure the continued viability of the organisation. Wherever possible unrestricted funds are “designated” to particular projects. The general reserve is maintained at a level which, taken together with anticipated income, will allow the Trust to meet its general obligations as they fall due, to meet unforeseen costs and to take advantage of opportunities that may enhance achievement of our objectives.
The Trust minimises risk and maintains its financial stability by careful budgeting, regular reporting and project management to ensure that at all times there is at least 12 months confirmed income to cover core’operating costs and sufficient funding to complete all committed projects.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Anyone interested in helping attain the Trust's objectives can become a member on payment of £1.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The minimum number of trustees is three, with no maximum. Throughout 2020 the Trust had at least four trustees; new trustees with marketing or legal expertise would be welcome. Two trustees usually stand down at each Annual General Meeting but may be reappointed by the membership.
The trustees may decide to appoint one of their number to be the trust's chairman to preside over their meetings. The maximum term for a chairman is four years, which may be extended once for a further four years.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees undergo an orientation to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction they meet the employees and other trustees.
The trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Lyme Regis Development Trust is a charitable Trust company incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is St Michael's Business Centre, Church Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset, DT7 3DB.
- 1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The Trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
.
1.2. Going concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonabie expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Trust.
1.4 incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be recelved.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. we
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.55 Resources expended Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to treat 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 of on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost 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.
“Charitable expenditure" comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature to support them.
Governance costs are those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees, Companies House annual charge and the bank charges.
Expenditure includes VAT as the charity is not VAT registered. The subsidiary company, LRDT Property Management Ltd is VAT registered and therefore expenditure by this company excludes VAT.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings Nil Plant and equipment 33 % straight line Office equipment 33% straight line Computers 25% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially . recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss. 1.8 Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting end date, the Trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments
The Trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Trust's balance sheet when the Trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest methed.
