REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021
Charitable objects
The advancement of the Christian religion, in particular:
-
(i) to assist in the establishment of a house of prayer at Lindisfarne
-
(ii) to promote retreats and other spiritual events at Lindisfarne and elsewhere
-
(iii) to promote the advancement of education by a study of the saints of Lindisfarne and elsewhere
Review of Activities during the year
The Trustees of Lindisfarne Trust have a particular responsibility to manage the property and other facilities of the Community of Aidan and Hilda, including the regular maintenance and improvement of the Community’s buildings and other assets, in keeping with the ethos of the Community, and so to offer spiritual renewal and refreshment to guests, pilgrims and visitors.
In line with the experience of many organisations involved in the hospitality sector, Covid-19 has had a major impact on our finances, with a significant loss of guest income. After long and careful consideration, the Trustees came to the decision that that our existing model of operation was sadly no longer financially sustainable.
Having exhausted all other possibilities, the Trustees concluded that the only option which gives future financial sustainability was to sell the Open Gate. After an extended period of consultation sadly we had no option but to make our valued staff redundant as from the end of April 2021, providing as generous a redundancy package as we were able to afford.
Sale of the Open Gate to an Island family was finally completed in November 2021. This enabled us to pay off our liabilities, both bank loans and personal loans, and also provided some capital to enable us to upgrade our other properties.
This means we can continue to offer space for spiritual retreat, renewal and refreshment for guests, pilgrims and visitors at our other properties, primarily on a self-catering basis. It is therefore planned that we should be able to do this in a financially sustainable way during the 2022 season and into the longer-term future.
Financial Review
The Trustees report a surplus of £89,703 income over expenditure during the financial year end 31st December 2021, compared to a deficit of (£29,078) in the previous year.
Payments to Trustees
Apart from loan repayments totallng £54,000, no other payments were made to Trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period.
One Trustee donated an aggregate total of £10,000 to the charity during 2021 (2020: One Trustee donated an aggregate total of £10,000).
No Trustees made loans to the charity in 2021 (2020: Two Trustees made loans to the charity totalling £23,500).
The above transactions did not have conditions attached.
No other material transaction took place between the organisation and a Trustee or any person connected with them.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021
Risk Assessment
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
Public Benefit
The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or aims that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Statement of Director's responsibilities:
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to
-
:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed , subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The trustees are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
I approve the attached statement of financial activities and balance sheet for the year ended 31 December 2021, and confirm that I have made available all information necessary for its preparation.

Lindisfarne Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Grants and Donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
Tax reclaims on Donations and Gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Gifts in Kind
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Government Grants
The charity has received HMRC job retention scheme and covid support government grants in the reporting period.
Donated goods
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated Services and Facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Directors' annual report.
Income from interest, royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Expenditure and liabilities
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance Costs
Support costs represent the cost of central functions, for example governance costs, payroll administration, information technology. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Employee benefits
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
Redundancy cost
The charity has made redundancy payments totalling £9,500 during the reporting period.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Taxation
Lindisfarne Trust Limited is not registered for Value Added Tax and therefore expenditure is shown inclusive of Value Added Tax.
The company is recognised as a charity by H M Revenue & Customs and therefore benefits from certain exemptions on income and gains, to the extent that they are applied for charitable purposes.
Funds
Funds held consist of:

-
Designated Funds which have been ring-fenced for a specific purpose by the Trustees

Assets
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity:
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.
Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows:
Motor Vehicles 25% Property Improvements 10%
No depreciation is charged to freehold property as the property is maintained to such a standard that the estimated residual value is not less than cost. Land and buildings are primarily used for charitable purposes.
In 2016, the Board of Directors carried out a revaluation of the properties held and based the fair value on current local market conditions. The effective date of revaluation is 31 December 2015.
An independent valuer was not involved, but the Trustees believe that internal personnel had sufficient knowledge of the local property market to make an informed valaution.
The value of the land element of the property is deemed to be one fifth of the total carrying value. For properties acquired after 1st January 2016 the cost of acquisition is taken.
The carrying amount that would have been recognised had the assets (those purchased before 1 January 2016) been carried at historical cost is as follows:
