Preparatlon of Accounts This year's accounts hav8 been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis as per Charity Comrnission Guidance. The Trust leases the Market Hall from North Devon District Coun(al and sublets to tenants. In Ihis way, the Trust generates incoma in its M8rt(et Hall account. Th8 value of leasehold premises is reduced by £4.675 pa which is by straight line depreGiation over the remaining term of the lease. Debtors and Creditors are not significant and are not shown in the Charity Commisslon retum but are notgj in the management accounts. Individual operating bank accounts are held as either unrestricted or restricted funds according to the purpose of the funds allocated or donated. Full details are shown in the accounls presentèd to Trustees. The accounts are also examined by a suitably qLbalrfi8d individual as required by Charity Commission regulations.

Trustee David York has taken on the management of the building and has introduced a robust compliance systern. We have also undertak8n long term planning to ensure we are able to meet our responsibilities as landlord. Middloham Gardens Laura McDouall has continued to mak8 grèat strldes with the gardens this year. We now hold a r8gular Friends of Middleham 9ardens on the first Wedn8sday of every month, this is enabling us to tack18 some of th8 bigger jobs in the gardens. We w8r8 also delight8d to receive some funding Irom the Lyn Valley Society to enable us to purchase an arbour seat to go at the end of the garden where we lost the tree last year. This is in memory of Cllr Suzette Hibbert, who was a huge champion of th8 gardens and Lynmouth and Lynton as a whole, We are also very lucky to hav6 the support of Phil McKinder who donates regularly to the upkeep of the gardens through tslks he gives across the country on the fk)od.
