MIDDLETON HALL TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The object of the charity is to restore and maintain Middleton Hall and its grounds for the benefit of the public as a building of special and historic interest and as a centre for study and public education in the conservation of land and its natural resources.

Significant activities

The Trusts principal activities are the restoration work and the day-to-day maintenance of Middleton Hall and its surrounding buildings. Following the easing of lockdown regulations, the gardens and grounds were opened to the public, Wednesdays to Sundays, plus bank holiday Mondays during the summer months.

Public benefit

In setting our objectives and planning our activities the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging.

During the year, all the activities described in this report were undertaken for public benefit.

Volunteers

The charity is reliant upon its numerous volunteers for their dedication, skills and knowledge, freely given in helping to achieve the objectives of the Trust. This year the amount of volunteer activity was severely restricted in line with the requirements concerning public safety as part of the Covid precautions. This has not been quantified in the accounts. The trustees are grateful for volunteers time and effort in ensuring their own and the public's safety once they have been able to return on site.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

In March 2020, the United Kingdom entered a national lockdown due to the Covid19 pandemic and Middleton Hall and Gardens were closed from March 2020 until June 2020.

The pandemic dominated the year with restrictions placed upon opening and additional costs incurred to ensure that the Hall and Gardens were 'Covid safe' for subsequent re-opening.

Although limited by social distancing restrictions the Trust still managed to open the Hall and gardens, and concerted efforts were made to increase the profile and public awareness of the historic buildings and grounds using an improved digital presence.

Unable to hold regular special events such as the Plant Holders Fair, monthly Midland Motors or evening concerts, efforts were directed at developing a regular programme of Children's outdoor trails, including a Halloween trail, and an increased facility for outdoor picnics, reflecting a changed demographic of visitor from over fifties to families with children.

Significant financial support was received from the Heritage Lottery Fund, NWBC and the Governments furlough scheme.

Investment performance

Other than cash funds deposited with CCLA in their COIF Charities Deposit Fund, the only investment held by the Trust is its 100% shareholding in Middleton Hall Trading Limited.

MIDDLETON HALL TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

In addition to entrance fees and donations from individuals and groups the charity also continued to receive rental income from the units in the courtyard.

Financial review

During the financial year we achieved a surplus of £75,743 compared to a deficit of £32,766 for the year ended 31 March 2020.

Income for the year ended 31 March 2021 increased to £311,631 compared to £228,977 for the year ended 31 March 2020 with decreases in admission fees being offset by increases in grants received particularly the Heritage Lottery Fund. As a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic we also received Coronavirus Job Retention funding of £6,403 from HMRC as part of HM Government's package of measures to help employers combat the pandemic. Costs were well controlled during the year at £235,888 a 9.9% decrease compared to the year ended 31 March 2020.

As at 31 March 2021 our total reserves now stand at £176,939 compared to £101,196 as at 31 March 2020. Although reserves improved during the year this was predominantly through financial support provided due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Next year will continue to be a challenging environment for MHT and the level of financial support available in the next financial year will be reduced. We are therefore expecting to utilize a considerable proportion of our reserves in the current financial year.

The trustees confirm that after making enquiries they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

Reserves policy

The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in fixed assets, which are the free reserves of the charity, should cover between three and six months operational costs. A minimum of fifty thousand pounds has been deemed necessary for this purpose.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trust plans to continue in its work to maintain and restore the Hall and enable its continuity as a benefit to the community.

KEY RISKS

The main risk concerns the ability of the Trust to achieve its charitable aims. The position is reviewed at regular Board Meetings and to ensure financial viability the Master Planning exercise has been undertaken with HLF and AHF grant funding.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Middleton Hall Trust (MHT) is a company limited by guarantee (company registration number: 04800047) which was incorporated on 16 June 2003 and achieved charitable status on 22 December 2003 (charity registration number: 1101315).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure

The charity is managed by the Board of Trustees, which should number no more than 20 at any time, and no less than 10. MHT currently has 9 trustees and the board is in the process of recruiting further trustees.

We draw upon a wide range of skills mix for our Trustee Board ranging from specialist skills (such as heritage, local government), professional skills (such as law and accountancy) and broad commercial skills. All our trustees have current or past experience of being a trustee, director or partner in either a charity, commercial, statutory or professional organisation.

Furthermore, all our trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from MHT. Any expenses reclaimed from MHT by trustees are set out in the notes to financial statements.

Day to day management is performed by the Heritage Site Manager.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Middleton Hall Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity's accounts as 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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.

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.
