TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the consolidated financial ststements and auditors, report
about the Charity and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 $1 March, 2024, which are also prepared to meet the
requirements for a directors, report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and
Articles ol Association 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).
REPORT OF THE CHAIR
The results for the year have been adversely and significantly impacted following a critical review of the Fixed
Asset Register, resulting in a write-off of assets amounting to £288,536.00 which has had an adverse impact
on the reported results for the year and reserves.
However, despite various challenges, there has been an improving situation because of tighter Cost controls
and a much-improved financial accuracy, which has helped to make informed decisions regarding Trust
activities, crucial to undertake the work necessary enabling the public to benefit from the 80°h of green spaces
wilhin Torbay that the Trust cares for.
The Trust is currently in negotiations with Torbay Council regarding the renewal oflhe Service Level Agreement
ISLAI for the maintenance and development of the 1700 acres of natural and built heritage that is such
precious resource lor Torbay.
The relationship was established 25 years ago and. as the current level of funding no longer rellects the true
operational cost for the Trust in delivering this commitment, 8 full review of the partnership is both necessary
and timely.
Despite challenging low reserves, the Trust has found ways to reduce cost, improve efficiency and meet its
liabilities over the last 12 months.
Viable external options have been proposed for reducing risk and developing future financial sustainability while
the SLA is negotiated and those continue to be investigaled.
However, the impact of the recent Budget announcement on staff costs from April 25 will increase the pressure
on reserves further in the coming year, giving uncertainty as to how the Trust will meet all of its objectives and
financial liabillties until these options are confimied.
I would like to thank the Management team, staff members, volunteers and Trustee colleagues and advisors
who collectively enable the Trust to funclion at its optimum level.

and well*stablished team offering quality food and service.
Farm Park & Play continues to be enloyed by the local community as well as summer visitors and offers a great
environment for youngsters especially during inclement weather, Focus on events during the year has been
well received as we have not had the funds to develop the Play equipment this year but after a review of running
costs, is becoming more financially sustainable.
The retail offering continues to be a commercial challenge, in particular establishing its identity in order for it to
benefit from the increased footfall seen in other areas.
Land Management
TCCT is dedicated to the sustainable management of Torbay's diverse landscapes, encompassing coastal
cliffs, woodlands, grasslands, and agricultural areas. The Trust's approach prioritises the conseNation of
biodiversity, protection of heritage sites, and engagement with the local community. We are indebted to our
loyal group of volunteers who dedicate time and expertise to support the wider work of the Trust.

a multi-agency approach.

ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A new CEO and Group Financial Controller joined the organisation and are working through a full review of
operations. A Marketing Communications Manager also joined during this period to develop a more cohesive
brand strategy.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Trustees have reviewed the activities of the chaflty in the light of the guidance published by the Charity
Commission on public benefit. The Trustees are satisfied that the Trust's activities are for the public benefit,
relating as they do to the conservation of the environment and heritage of Torbay. This benefits the community
in maintaining important heritage and environmentsl assets for people of the area and visitors to the area lo
enjoy.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Consolidated income for the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to £3,116.329 {2023'. £3,34,111). There
were no additions to restricted funds during the year (2023.. £Nil). There was an overall deficit for Ihe year of
£514,048 (2023: deficit £473,982), including a deficit of £257,270 (2023= deficit of £381,220) on unrestricted
funds, and total funds carried forward at 31 March 2024 amounted to £2,956,383 (2023.. £3,470,791) with
£2,672,249 (2023.. £2,929,387) classified as restricted. Unrestricted funds carried forward were £284,134
{2023.' £541,404), including £864.833 (2023.. £799,427) which the trustees have designated for specific
purposes.
Net Cash inflow for the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to £25,372 (2023 oufflow of £117,350) and at the
year end the Group's cash resources were severely depleted.
GOING CONCERN
INhilst the Trust's financial perfomance and stsnding continued to be Challenging, signs of Improvement,
reflected in the results and cash flows summarised above, with a substantial increase in income and a reduction
in the deficil, were evident as the capital works at Occombe farm were completed and the Park and Play visitor
attraction finally opened whilst a number of iniliatives lo enhance the financial performance of the Farm Shop
were undertaken.The support of Torbay Council for the turnaround plan discussed in last year's Report was
critical, and, again as discussed last year, provided the opportunity for the development of a more
comprehensive new Business Plan, with Its focus on new revenue streams, alongside enhanced financial
discipline and cash management, implemenled for the current financial year ending 31 March 2024
Inflationary and recessionary factors remain but management and Trustees continue to be encouraged by signs
of progress. In the new financial year, the Trust has operated substantially in line with budget and cash flow,
although remaining tight, is better controlled. Small investments in growth initiatives have been possible and
educational activities have been successfully relaunched, within the Park and Play operation. Other
opportunities for new revenue streams have been identified by a largely new management team, for
development as funds allow. This progress has been underpinned by revised funding arrangements with the
Council, effective from April 2023 and part of the continuing and committed support and encouragement of the
Council for the Trust's operations.
Notwithstanding these signs of progress the Trustees recognise that significant challenges remain ahead.
However, having reviewed the position in some depth, including the budget for the year ending 31 March 2025
and related financial projections, and in the expectation of the continued support of the Council, the Trustees
are satisfied that the Trust will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the
next ￿e1ve months and that accordingly it is appropriate to prepare the Trust's financial statements on a going
concern basis.
However. the Trustees also acknowledge that, given the deficits incurred, the precarious financial position of
the Trust and that an increase in council support is not guaranteed, a material uncertainty exists in relation to
events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the Trust and Group's ability to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the nonnal course of business and to continue as a going concem.
The financial statements do not reflect the adjustments that would be necessary should the ability of the Trust
and Group to trade be jeopardised due to the material uncertainty.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees remain commitled to achieving a meaningful level of free reserves (unrestricted reSe￿e$,
excluding those designated for specific purposes and those represented by capital assets) in line with Charity
Commission best practs'ce.
However, at 31 March 2024, the Trust's consolidated free reserves were in deficit to the extent of £3,464,040
(31 March 2023.. £3,404,963) The predicted positive financial impact of the Occombe Redevelopment has been
slower than expected and further recovery options are being considered.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Alongside ils focus on developing Occombe as a leading deslination for Torbay and improving Its financial
performance, the Trust will continue to deliver its core programme of land management. seeking to manage
and enhance Torbay's natural heritage and facilitating access.
As Occombe progresses to generating surplus, it is anticipated that the Trust will be able to expand delivery of
its three charitable objects to the benefit of the community and visitors.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trust has reviewed and updated the Strategic Risk Register, before referral to the Board. This register
comprises Ihose issues Ihat are considered to present a significanl strategic risk to the organisalion (lower level
'operational' risks are dealt with through risk assessments for specific operations>. The Slrategic Risk Register
includes all Governance, Financial, Management, Operational. Repulalional, Health & Safety and Compliance
Risks. which are deemed to have the potential to jeopardise the overall viability (operational andlor financial)
of the organisation andlor significantty impair the organisation's ability to deliver its charitable purposes.
The principal risks on the Strategic Risk Register al the end of March 2024 identified as fequiring further action
were as follows..
Governance
We continue to recrult additional trustees to strengthen the board's capacity and range of expertise, as
and when required.
Financial
Cash flow remains a major concern due to minimal reserves. Accurate, relevant and timely Financial
Reporting remains of paramount importance to enable the Trustees to make infomied assessments.
Management
Over reliance on limited resources to drive foNiards fijrther development and improvement of the
organisation. Limiled resources for the recruitment and coordination of volunteers; volunteers are vital
for the Trust to deliver charitable purposes.
Operational
Compliance - a full Internal audit is required to ensure the organisation is compliant in areas such as IT
and health & safety to reduce potential risk.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The Trust's policy has been to place surplus cash funds in Short term investments with reputable institutions,
for example bank notice deposits. The trustees recognised that unattractive concentrations of funds may arise
and that investment returns may not match those available on longer term andlor higher risk strategies.
Certain of the funds described as either restricted or designated (for example those provided under s106
arrangements) have been received by the Trust wilh the requiremenl thal they are invested in order to produ
a return on investment sufficient to fully fund the obligations of the related agreements.
Recognising the need to obtsin a better return than was possible for cash deposits, the Trust determined that
it should invest a significant part of its restricted and designated funds into one or more schemes that would
provide the required rate of return to fully fund the obligations arising from the agreements.
Trustees believed that the redevelopment at Occombe would meet these requirements and investment of the
cash balances representing the restricted and designated funds complemented external funding in financing
the redevelopment of Occombe.

We conducted our audrt in a¢¢ordance wrth Intemational Standards ori Audrting (UK) {ISAs (UKI) and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit
of the financial statements section of our report. We are Independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the
Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Materlal uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 1.3 In the financial statements, which indicates the financial position of the Group has
deteriorated over the year to 31 March 2024 as a result of the continued under-performance of its Occombe
Farm site. It also outlines that whilst improvements in performance have been achieved since the year-end, the
Group remains in a precarious financial position. As stated in note 1.3. these events or conditions, along with the
other matters as set forth in the note 1.3. indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant
doubt on the Group's and the parent charitable compan￿$ abilty to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Infomiatlon
The other information comprises the infomiation included in the Trustees Report and Financial Statements other
than the financial statements and our Auditors. Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other
infomation contained within the Trustees Report and Financial Statements. Our opinion on the financial
statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our
report, we do not express any fomi of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other
infomation and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomiation is materially inconsistent wilh the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or olhemise appears to be materially
misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to
detemine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on
the work we have perfomied, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information. we are
required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstalement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Audilors, Report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a malerial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non<ompliance wilh laws and Tegulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities.
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
In idenlifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, induding fraud and non-
compliance ￿llth laws and regulations, we considered the following:
tha nature of the charity sector. control environrnent and the Group's and the parent charitable CoMpan￿S
performance.,
results of our enquiries of management and the Trustee board, including the committees charged with
governance over the Group's and the parent charitable companrfs finance and control, about their own
identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.,
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Group's and the parent charitable compan￿8
documentation of their policies and procedures relating to.. identifying, evaluating and complying with laws
and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non<ompliance;
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected
or alleged fraud.,
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations:
and
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team and involving relevant internal charity
specialists regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential
indicators of fraud.
As a resutt of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exisl within the
organisation for fraud, which included incorrect recognition of Tevenue. rnanagement override of controls using
manual journal enlries.
We also obtsined an understanding of the legal and regulalory frameworks that the Group and the parent
charitable company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on
the detennination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
In addition, we considered pn)visions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the
financial statements but compliance wilh which may be fundamental to the Group's and the parent charitable
company's ability to operate or to avoid 8 material penalty. These included data protection regulations.
occupational health and safety regulalions, eMplO￿ent legislation. Charities SORP 2019 and FRS 102.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following for the parent charitable company and
Subsidiaries, as was considered appropriate:
reviewing the financial statement disclosures arKI testlng to supporting documentation lo assess
compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the
financial statements;
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the
recognition of revenue.,
enquiring of management and those charged with governance concerning actual arml potential litigation
and claims.
performing procedures to confirm material compliance with the requirements of its regulators.

performing analyiical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpeded relatlonships that may indicate
risks of material misstatement due to fraud.,
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance and reviewing internal control reports.,
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of
journal entries and other adjustments: and
assessing vthether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicakn've of a potential bias.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team
members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non<ompliance with laws and regulations throughout
the audrt.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements.
recognising that the risk of not delecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery,
misrepresentalions or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the
further removed non4ompliance with laws and regulalions is from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial stalemenls, the less likely we would become aware of it.

1.3 GOING CONCERN
There was an overall deficit for the year ended 31 March 2024 of £514,408 (2023.. deficit £473,743).
Net cash inflow for the year amounted to £25,372 (2023.. oufflow of £117,350) and at the year end the
Group's cash resources were severely depleted.
Whilst the Trust's financial performance and standing continued to lag aspirations, the Trustees
believe that signs of improvement, reflected in the results and cash flows, were evidenl as the capital
works at Occombe farm were completed and the Park and Play visttor attraction finally opened
alongside a number of initiatives to enhance the financial performance of the Farm Shop. The
impacts of Covid 19 largely abated but inflationary and other adverse macro*conomic pressures
increased significantly over the period. The interim support of Torbay Council was critical. and
provided the opportunity for the development of a more comprehensive new Business Plan, with its
focus on new revenue streams alongside enhanced financial discipline and cash management, which
has been implemented for the current financial year ending 31 March 2024.
Inflationary and recessionary pressures remain but management and Trustees continue to be
encouraged by signs of progress. In the new financial year the Trust has operaled substantially in line
wrth budget and cash flow, although remalning tight. is belter controlled. Small investments in growth
inrtiatives have been possible and educational adivities have been successfully relaunched, within
the Park and Play operation. Other opportunities for new revenue streams have been identified by
largely new management team, for development as funds allow. This progress has been
underpinned by revised funding arrangements with the Council, effective from April 2023 and part of
the continuing and committed support and encouragement of the Council for the Trust's operations.
Notwrthstanding these signs of progress the Trustees recognise that significant challenges remain.
However, having reviewed the position in some depth, including the budget for the year ending 31
March 2026 and related financial projections, and in the expectation of the continued support of the
Council, the Trustees are satisfied that the Trust will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as
they fall due for at least the next ￿e1ve months and that accordingly it is appropriate to prepare the
Trust's financial statements on a going concern basis.
However, the Trustees also acknowledge that, given the deficsts incurred, the precarious financial
position of the Trust and that an increase in council support is not guaranteed, a material uncertainty
exists in relation to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the Trust and Group's ability to
alise its assets and discharge rts liabilities in the normal course of busines8 and to continue as a
going concern.
The financial statements do not reflect the adjustments that would be necessary should the abilty of
the Trust and Group to trade be jeopardised due to the material uncertainty.

1.4 INCOME
All income is recognised once the Group has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliabty.
Grants are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The
balance of income received for specific purposes but. not expended during the period is shown in the
relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt,
its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs
before income is received, the income is accrued.
Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to
measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the rtem to the donor should be used. The gain is
recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate
fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the Group's
accounting policies.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of
the gift to the Group which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or
facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market,. a corresponding amount is then
recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift AKI or deeds of covenant is
recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment
income is receivable.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured
reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the inleresl paid or payable by the Bank.

1.5 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or construdive obligation to transfer economic benefit
lo a third party, it is probable thal a transfer of economic benefits will be reqUI￿d in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs
of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs. including support costs
involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are
not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Costs of generaling funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary Income. and those incurred in
trading activities that raise funds.
Costs of charltable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on Ihe companls operations
as included in note 3 and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable
activities.
1.6 BASIS ON CONSOLIDATION

1.7 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Tangible fixed assets are.initially r￿Ognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible
fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be
included in the measuremènt of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value
over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases..
Freehold property
Plant and machinery
Motor vehicles
Fixtures and fittings
other fixed assets
6 - 50 years straight line
8 - 10 years straight line
4 years straight line
4 - 5 years straight line
Livestock assets are value annually by the
directors
A review for impaimient of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls be￿een the carrying
value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impaimients. Impairment
losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities. Changes in the valuation of livestock
are included in the statement of financial activities.
1.8 INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their
transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value
cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost le55 impairment. Investment gains
and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'Gainsl(Losses) on
investments, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activrties.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impaimient.
1.9 STOCKS
Slocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for
obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed
and variable overheads.
1.10 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.11 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturrty
of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Accounting policies (continued)
1.12 UABILITIES
Liabilities and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a
resutt of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement.
and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabiliiies are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or
the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services rt must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate Ihat reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognis8d in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as a
finance cost.
1.13 DEFERRED TAXATION
Full provision 1$ made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences
behveen the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax
Computation.
A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will
be suitable taxable surpluses Irom which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can
be deduded.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time
the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax is not provided on timing differences arising from the revaluation of fixed assets in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
1.14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as baslc financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.15 FINANCE LEASES AND HIRE PURCHASE
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are caprtalised as tangible fixed
assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease tem and their
useful INes. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases
are those where subslantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Group.
Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of the finance charge allocated to
future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Consolidated Statement
of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation
outstanding in each period.

Many of the Tru$t'$ funds arise from commuted sums received in respect of long term agreements
{arrived at through s106 and other mechanisms). for the delivery of ecological mitigation and
compensation projects over 5-25 years. Through such agreements, the Twst receives an initial cash
amount and assumes obligations to deliver an agreed Scheme of Management over a defined period.
The amounts paid to the Trust are detennined through calculation of the expected costs of fulfilling the
obligations, appropriately discounted to current values. The tems of the agreements require the Trust to
invest the sum received in order to generate sufficient resources to fully fund the obligations as they
arise.

23. Penslon ¢ommitm•nts
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme administered by Scottish Widows.
During the year the group paid £46,206 (2023: £40,026) into a defined contribution pension scheme and
£7,896 (2023: £8056) into a defined benefit pension scheme.
Included in creditors is £11,190 (2023.. £10,714) owing to these schemes in respect of employer and
employee contributions payable.
Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust is also an admitted body in the Devon County pension scheme with 1
member (2023.. 1 }. The scheme is a multiomployer final salary scheme which is currently showing
deficit.
No information regarding the amount of deficit attributable to the employese of the Trust is available
and therefore the financial statements have not been adjusted to reflect any potential liability of the
Trust in respect of any deficit of the Pension Scheme.
It is the Trust's understanding that any additional cost to be incurred by the Trust as a consequence
of any Actuarial valuation to reduce any deficit in respect of its employees may be funded by Torbay
Council by amending the service level agreement that is in place with the Council and that, in the
event of a claim against the Trust for any part of the deficit, Torbay Council would underwrile this
part of the liabilty as part of the "Pass Through" arrangements that the Council operates.
