Progress on delivering the Leamouth bridge (Hercules Bridge) slowed significantly in 2021 largely as a result of COVID-19. However, a small TBWT/USM working group met in the Autumn to develop a strategy for promoting and delivering a series of initiatives to address the issue of poor local connectivity in the Leamouth area including new pedestrian bridges, improved footpaths and cycleways and better facilities and improved access to the public realm. These efforts led to the submission to Tower Hamlets Council of projects for LIF/CIL funding in November 2021 referred to above.
These efforts were funded through the Trust’s Designated Fund which at 31st December 2021 stood at £149,569.

Financial Review and Reserves
The trust continues to receive regular income from its share in rents and licenses from Trinity Buoy Wharf. It trades within its financial capacity and has sufficient reserves to meet regular outgoings and commitments. Total receipts within the year (all of which were unrestricted) totalled £339,213 (2020: £270,466). The charity expenditure totalled £473,824 (2020: £181,347).
Unrestricted net assets at the year end totalled £149,569 (2020: £284,180).
The policy of the trustees is to ensure that the level of reserves over the coming years is sufficient to meet the demands of the Trust. The level of free reserves at the end of the year under review total of £nil (2020: £92,896), however the trust has £149,569 of funds designated (2020: £191,284), which can be undesignated if the need arises to ensure grant commitments can be met. All of the Trust’s funds held at the year end are generally unrestricted funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance working capital requirements.
In addition to the Trust’s regular income from USM, the Trust received an income of £97,500 from Ballymore Properties. This is in respect of compensation resulting from a successful “rights of light” claim by USM and the Trust against Ballymore for their large and tall Good Luck Hope residential development adjacent to TBW. The gross compensation payment was shared 50;50 by USM and the Trust.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
The trustees (who are also the directors of Trinity Buoy Wharf for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year.

TRINITY BUOY WHARF TRUST A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust is a charitable company registered on 28 July 2000 under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The charitable company is a public benefit entity, limited by guarantee, under the number 03466597 in England, within the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office, and place of business, is 37 Rushey Green, Catford, London, SE6 4AS.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies, and in accordance with Statements of Recommended Practice for Charities of the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (SORP 2019 – FRS 102) and applicable accounting standards as amended by Bulletin 1. The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and are rounded to the nearest £.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which forecasts that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this financial report.
A forecast has been prepared for a period of more than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecast indicates that, whilst taking into account reasonable downsides, sufficient funds are expected to be generated within the Company so as to meet the liabilities of the Company as they fall due.
As part of their review the Management Committee have additionally considered the implications of the current Coronavirus Pandemic on the going concern assumption.
The economic impact on the Trust due to the Coronavirus Pandemic is subject to an unprecedented level of uncertainty with the full range of possible effects unknown. Sensitivity analyses have been applied to the forecasts to assess a range of potential impacts from the Coronavirus Pandemic. In the analyses, a variety of assumptions were modelled with varying degrees of impact and duration. Whilst there is evidence of potential negative effects on income and cash flows, the resulting sensitised forecasts continue to support the going concern assumption and the Management Committee are confident they can take sufficient mitigating action to ensure that available funds will be sufficient for the Trust’s needs.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Rental income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. Rental income is recognised in the period to which it relates.
Donations, legacies, grants and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as income when receivable.

TRINITY BUOY WHARF TRUST A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is inclusive of VAT. Expenditure has been classified by nature. Governance costs are those incurred for the governance arrangements of the Charity which relate to the statutory running of the Charity as opposed to those costs associated with generating funds.
Costs that cannot be allocated directly are apportioned as support costs on a fair, reasonable, accurate and consistent estimate basis weighted according to the use of the trust's general resources.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
-
Leasehold property & leasehold improvements: Straight line over 15 years
-
Plant and machinery: Straight line over 3 years
-
Fixtures, fittings & equipment: Straight line over 4 years
Assets subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairments whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value is greater than the recoverable amount.
Trinity Buoy Wharf includes its property, Trinity Buoy Wharf, at cost. As the cost of the property was fully covered by a grant there is subsequently no tangible fixed assets shown on the balance sheet.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at bank and in hand
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.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The Charity 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. All assets and liabilities are recorded at cost which is their fair value.
Taxation
The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Key sources of judgement and estimation uncertainty
No significant judgements, accounting policies or assumptions have been made by management in applying the Charity’s accounting policies.

However, a small TBWT/USM working group met in the Autumn to develop a strategy for promoting and delivering a series of initiatives to address the issue of poor local connectivity in the Leamouth area including new pedestrian bridges, improved footpaths and cycleways and better facilities and improved access to the public realm. These efforts led to the submission to Tower Hamlets Council of projects for LIF/CIL funding in November 2021 referred to above.
These efforts were funded through the Trust’s Designated Fund which at 31st December 2021 stood at £149,569.

_____________ TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial Review and Reserves
The trust continues to receive regular income from its share in rents and licenses from Trinity Buoy Wharf. It trades within its financial capacity and has sufficient reserves to meet regular outgoings and commitments. Total receipts within the year (all of which were unrestricted) totalled £339,213 (2020: £270,466). The charity expenditure totalled £473,824 (2020: £181,347).
Unrestricted net assets at the year end totalled £149,569 (2020: £284,180).
The policy of the trustees is to ensure that the level of reserves over the coming years is sufficient to meet the demands of the Trust. The level of free reserves at the end of the year under review total of £nil (2020: £92,896), however the trust has £149,569 of funds designated (2020: £191,284), which can be undesignated if the need arises to ensure grant commitments can be met. All of the Trust’s funds held at the year end are generally unrestricted funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance working capital requirements.
In addition to the Trust’s regular income from USM, the Trust received an income of £97,500 from Ballymore Properties. This is in respect of compensation resulting from a successful “rights of light” claim by USM and the Trust against Ballymore for their large and tall Good Luck Hope residential development adjacent to TBW. The gross compensation payment was shared 50;50 by USM and the Trust.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Trinity Buoy Wharf for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year.

TRINITY BUOY WHARF TRUST A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust is a charitable company registered on 28 July 2000 under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The charitable company is a public benefit entity, limited by guarantee, under the number 03466597 in England, within the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office, and place of business, is 37 Rushey Green, Catford, London, SE6 4AS.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies, and in accordance with Statements of Recommended Practice for Charities of the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (SORP 2019 – FRS 102) and applicable accounting standards as amended by Bulletin 1. The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and are rounded to the nearest £.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which forecasts that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this financial report.
A forecast has been prepared for a period of more than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecast indicates that, whilst taking into account reasonable downsides, sufficient funds are expected to be generated within the Company so as to meet the liabilities of the Company as they fall due.
As part of their review the Management Committee have additionally considered the implications of the current Coronavirus Pandemic on the going concern assumption.
The economic impact on the Trust due to the Coronavirus Pandemic is subject to an unprecedented level of uncertainty with the full range of possible effects unknown. Sensitivity analyses have been applied to the forecasts to assess a range of potential impacts from the Coronavirus Pandemic. In the analyses, a variety of assumptions were modelled with varying degrees of impact and duration. Whilst there is evidence of potential negative effects on income and cash flows, the resulting sensitised forecasts continue to support the going concern assumption and the Management Committee are confident they can take sufficient mitigating action to ensure that available funds will be sufficient for the Trust’s needs.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Rental income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. Rental income is recognised in the period to which it relates.
Donations, legacies, grants and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as income when receivable.

TRINITY BUOY WHARF TRUST A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is inclusive of VAT. Expenditure has been classified by nature. Governance costs are those incurred for the governance arrangements of the Charity which relate to the statutory running of the Charity as opposed to those costs associated with generating funds.
Costs that cannot be allocated directly are apportioned as support costs on a fair, reasonable, accurate and consistent estimate basis weighted according to the use of the trust's general resources.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
-
Leasehold property & leasehold improvements: Straight line over 15 years
-
Plant and machinery: Straight line over 3 years
-
Fixtures, fittings & equipment: Straight line over 4 years
Assets subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairments whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value is greater than the recoverable amount.
Trinity Buoy Wharf includes its property, Trinity Buoy Wharf, at cost. As the cost of the property was fully covered by a grant there is subsequently no tangible fixed assets shown on the balance sheet.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at bank and in hand
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.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The Charity 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. All assets and liabilities are recorded at cost which is their fair value.
Taxation
The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Key sources of judgement and estimation uncertainty
No significant judgements, accounting policies or assumptions have been made by management in applying the Charity’s accounting policies.
