The Chairman agreed to stand in as Treasurer until a new Treasurer was appointed. **The Oxfordshire Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] December 2020** The objective of the Oxfordshire Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England is to protect and enhance the Oxfordshire countryside and landscape, together with its rural villages and market towns. CPRE Oxfordshire has continued to manage its investments to provide funds in the pursuit of its objectives. There was a deficit on general activities of £14,784 (£448 surplus in 2019). After adjustments for the reduction in district balances and the unrealised increase in value of investments, the net surplus for the period was £3,284 (£53,577 surplus in 2019). The Accumulated Fund as at 31 December 2020, represented by investments and bank and building society accounts and other assets totalled £399,233 (£395,949 in 2019). The trustees have determined that a reserves policy is not required at the present time. The Charity is in receipt of a regular income and holds an accumulated fund which is sufficient to meet all identified present and future commitments. The trustees have complied with their duty in having due regard to the guidance on public benefit, as published by the Charity Commission, in exercising their powers and duties. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the charitable company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. Approved by the Executive Committee and signed on their behalf.

07| ## **The Oxfordshire Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England.** Charity No. 1093081 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees** I have reviewed the accounting records held by the charity, and compared them with these accounts. I am convinced that proper records, in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 have been kept, and that these accounts for the year to 31[st ] December 2020 reflect accurately the financial activities of the charity during the year, and its financial position at the year end. The charity is entitled to small company's exemption from the full requirements of the Companies' Act 1985 and these accounts have been prepared in accordance with that exemption. No matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement to keep accounting records, and prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, has not been kept. I have examined these records and accounts as an Independent Examiner, and not as a qualified accountant. Richard Broadbent 2021 Date: 14[th] April
