ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Spring and summer saw the museum return to full time activity and programme of 21 events for the year. The Poppy Tea Rooms reopened in February after the winter closure, and immediately saw the return of many regular visitors, pleased to be able to come back to enjoy the fresh baked cakes and scones. Our relationship with Dancing Goat Coffee has given us access to excellent coffee products and the addition of the second coffee machine gave us the ability to cope with what became a very busy summer and autumn for Poppy Tea Rooms.

HEUGH GUN BATTERY TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 May 2023
An evening Craft Fayre for local micro craft businesses in Poppy Tea Rooms
We had taken advantage of the Government Kickstart scheme and had taken on 2 staff, one for Poppy Tea Rooms and the other for the museum reception and Poppy Tea Rooms. At the end of the scheme in March, we were able to offer a part-time post to one of the Kickstart staff, who has since become an invaluable part of the team.
The museum continued with the Pay What You Decide Scheme for visitors, even on most event days where our costs allowed. This was to ensure that visitors could still come and enjoy their heritage even though the cost of living continued to rise and make leisure activities difficult for some families to afford. Celebrating the Jubilee allowed us to open the doors free for community street parties to take place – despite the weather. Again, on the sad occasion of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, the museum became a place where people gathered, without prompt, to mourn and pay their respects with other members of the community.
Visitors enjoying their Jubilee picnics
School visits have recovered strongly, the visit price remaining at £100 for a day visit for up to 30 pupils. We continued the 2 led workshop and 1 self-guided activity format as we struggled for volunteers to cover any more than this. Some schools did report that transport costs made a visit prohibitive and that they were keen to return but unable to pass on the cost to parents.

HEUGH GUN BATTERY TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 May 2023
A surprising success of the year were our regular book sales. Starting with a small donation of books, visitors have been very keen to leave a donation and take a book. We have taken many donations of books since starting the sales, and have raised over £1,400 from them.
We continued a really productive relationship with Lincoln University, working with a student who produced a digital exhibit for our website about one of the artillery pieces we hold on site. Our collections underwent an audit conducted by Peter Meehan and supported with funding from The Pilgrim Trust. This report has helped up to plan for a review of our entire collection, both documentation and objects, which will get underway in 2023.
Annual commemoration of the Bombardment of the Hartlepools, 16[th] December
A visit from historic England led to serious discussions about urgent repairs needed for the site, particularly across the Scheduled Monument area of the museum. This led to an application for funding from Historic England at the end of 2022, and the appointment of Xcite Architecture to do extensive surveys of the site to inform a plan for repair, with a view to applying to the Arts Council MEND Fund in 2023.
Some of the ongoing deterioration of the Scheduled Monument
In January, the manager joined Heritage Compass, a national training programme, which offers a 12 month programme of training and mentorship in key areas of arts and heritage management. The training will help reinforce how we are working here at the Trust, and shine a light onto new areas we can try.

HEUGH GUN BATTERY TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 May 2023
The Board is hopeful that this will be a pivotal year for the organisation and that the structure and plans that are coming into place will take us forward into a strong position next year to access funding to take the first major steps towards our long-term vision in 2023/24.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Heugh Gun Battery Trust Limited principle funding source is museum admissions and café income. Other significant funding comes from grants received from Hartlepool Borough Council, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Arts Council.
The total income for the period was £168,530 (2022: £130,035). This income is allocated across respective funds on the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice.
The Statement of Financial Activities for the period ended 31 May 2023 shows a net expenditure across all funds of -£3,593 (2022: -£20,558).
The Balance Sheet at 31 May 2023 shows total funds carried forward of £136,266 (2022: £139,859) of which there are £23,244 restricted funds (2022: £8,607).
Reserves policy
Heugh Gun Battery Trust Limited has maintained a level of free reserves (reserves not invested in tangible fixed assets) over the years, currently £19,747 to meet the working capital requirements of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of annual expenditure. At 31 May 2023 reserves fall short of this level. The trustees are aware of this and are committed to building up free reserves, with planned operational surpluses.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
-
Work to strengthen the range of skills on the Board of Directors
-
Look to expend the capacity of the café offer at the museum
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's objectives and planning its future activities. This annual report will aim to demonstrate the link between our charitable activity and how this benefits our service users.

HEUGH GUN BATTERY TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 May 2023
Risk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks including the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and for ensuring the consistent quality of the delivery of all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual 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 trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show the state of affairs of the charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the year ended 31 May 2023
I report on the financial statements of Heugh Gun Battery Trust Ltd for the year ended 31 May 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
h accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
h the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
h the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
-
h the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 May 2023
1 Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
2 Basis of accounting
2.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Heugh Gun Battery Trust Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £113,022 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account measures that they can take with the current resources available to mitigate the impact of the current adverse conditions. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
3 Income
3.1 Recognition of income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
3.2 Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
3.3 Grants and donations
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 May 2023
3.4 Donated goods and services
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.
3.5 Volunteer help
The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.
3.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
3.7 Income from membership subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
3.8 Investment gains and losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
3.9 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
4 Expenditure and liabilities
4.1 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised when 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.
4.2 Charitable activities
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of running the museum and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 May 2023
4.3 Governance and support costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
4.4 Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
4.5 Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
4.6 Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
5 Assets
5.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Office equipment Straight line over four years Furniture & fixtures Straight line over four years Heritage assets Straight line over life of asset
