CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

The chairman presents his statement for the year.

The past year has been one of significant change, and renewed ambition for Pleasley Pit Trust (PPT). Building on the foundations laid in previous years, the Board has focused on strengthening governance, improving sustainability, and expanding our engagement with local communities. In March of 2025 this has included a major trustee recruitment drive resulting in nine new trustees joining the organisation alongside three longstanding trustees, bringing fresh skills, broader representation, and renewed energy to the charity.

A key priority this year has been addressing long-standing capacity challenges. With an ageing volunteer base and increasing visitor expectations, the Board undertook a review of our operating model and identified the need for new roles, clearer processes, and more structured support for volunteers. The Trust has also prepared for the introduction of a Development Worker post, designed to support income generation, community engagement, and event delivery. This development marks an important step toward improving long-term financial viability to take forward into 2025-26.

The Board has continued to oversee the preservation, interpretation, and promotion of Pleasley Pit’s natural, industrial, and cultural heritage. Volunteers have again been central to our success, maintaining the site, engaging visitors, and supporting events and open days. We remain deeply grateful for their time and commitment.

The Trust has also expanded its use of the wider landscape, building on its growing role in community wellbeing. Guided walks, heritage tours, arts-based activities, and opportunities for people to connect with nature have continued to attract strong participation. These programmes reinforce our aim to use heritage and green space to support health and wellbeing, particularly in a community still affected by the legacy of industrial decline.

Financially, the Trust has continued to operate in a challenging environment, balancing limited resources with the need to maintain core services and meet regulatory obligations. The new Board has improved its oversight of financial reporting and strengthened relationships with partners and funders. The additional governance support received towards the end of this year has been invaluable in helping PPT stabilise and prepare for growth.

As we look forward to the coming year, the Board remains committed to building a sustainable future for the charity, enhancing the visitor experience, and ensuring Pleasley Pit continues to serve as a place of learning, connection, and community pride. We thank all volunteers, partners, supporters, and funders who make our work possible.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Pleasley Pit Trust ('the company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 5 April 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and 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 the company's accounts 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.

This report is made solely to the company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE PLEASLEY PIT TRUST

(a company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Pleasley Pit Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Going concern

At the date of signing there is a degree of uncertainty about the economic impact of the wider geopolitical environment and the cost of living. The directors continue to monitor the position closely however they believe that the company can continue at its current level of activity and they therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the 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.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 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.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

THE PLEASLEY PIT TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Expenditure (continued)

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £50 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised 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 measurement 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:

Self-contained buildings - 10% straight line basis
Plant and machinery - 10% straight line basis
Fixtures and fittings - 10% straight line basis
Office equipment - 25% straight line basis

1.6 Stocks

Stocks 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.

1.7 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.

1.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

THE PLEASLEY PIT TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.9 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result 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.

Liabilities 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 it 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 that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

1.10 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic 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.

1.11 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straightline basis over the lease term.

1.12 Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

1.13 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

2. General information

The Pleasley Pit Trust is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales, registration number 03826722 and a charitable company registered with The Charity Commission, registration number 1077660.
