WINTERBOURNE MEDIEVAL BARN TRUST
CHAIR’S STATEMENT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Dear Friends
This year marked the formal end of the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) project, which began around 10 years ago when we first started considering making a lottery bid to restore the Barn site. I am pleased to report we received a very favourable report from the NLHF in their Evaluation of the project, including that it strongly delivered against all the stated aims.
Our wonderful Barn site is a testament to the work of very many volunteers and trustees over this period. We have also had invaluable support from our staff in delivering events, developing the commercial hire side of the Trust and maintaining the buildings to a high standard.
This year has again been impacted by Covid 19. The various restrictions particularly during the earlier part of the year meant that some activities including the Medieval Fayre could not take place and others were severely limited. With the easing and then removal of restrictions many of our events and workshops could again take place including a very successful Orchard Harvest Day. The Barn is very much becoming the Rural Craft and Heritage Centre we envisaged.
The pandemic has also continued to impact on interest in commercial hire of the site for events, which are an essential element of our Business Plan. We had several weddings in 2022 and are hopeful that once these have demonstrated how wonderful the venue is, we will attract more weddings and other celebratory events.
As we contemplate an exciting future for the Trust, we recognise that we need to ensure appropriate governance with the right mix of skills and experience among our Trustees, as activities and circumstances change. We would love to hear from anyone who believes that they can complement our existing Board and bring new skills.
As noted in last year’s report, Linda Hall resigned as a trustee during the year. Derek Andow, Tim Bowles and George Kousouros retire by rotation this year and are happy to stand for re-election.
We are looking forward to an exciting future which will be built on the firm foundations developed since the formation of the Trust. Everyone who has been involved should be proud of what has been achieved.
Sue Parsons Chair

WINTERBOURNE MEDIEVAL BARN TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The Trust operates the site of the Winterbourne Court Farm Barn under a 25 year lease from South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) which commenced in September 2020. SGC has agreed to waive the rent payable of £37,730 per annum under the lease on condition of the Trust meeting various obligations with regards to the operation and maintenance of the site.
The objects of the Trust (which were amended by special resolution at last year’s AGM) are:
(1) To promote and undertake the conservation, management, maintenance and improvement of the site at Winterbourne Court Farm Barn to ensure that it is protected, celebrated and used as a unique historical asset for the public benefit of serving the local community and improving community cohesion now and for the future by such exclusively charitable means as the trustees shall from time to time determine; and
(2) To advance public education by increasing the local community’s knowledge and understanding of the history and medieval architecture of Winterbourne Court Farm Barn, and its surrounding landscape by the provision of guided tours, exhibitions, talks and such other activities as the trustees shall from time to time determine.
The trustees have reviewed and assessed the achievements of the Trust in terms of key activities and benefits and have taken the objects into account when planning future activities.
b. Activities for achieving objectives
The Trust’s main objectives continue to be preservation of the unique 14th century Barn and promotion of knowledge of the history of its architecture, agricultural landscape and people through creation of a renowned centre which will provide for future generations:
-
Information on medieval architecture and construction, as well as guidance and support on restoration of historic buildings to include practical workshops and courses on traditional building methods;
-
Information on the vernacular architecture of the region;
-
Provision of facilities for guided tours, exhibitions, talks, study days and school visits;
-
Centre for education on rural crafts
-
Knowledge of the history of local food production, storage and sustainable farming methods;

WINTERBOURNE MEDIEVAL BARN TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
-
Delivery of therapeutic horticulture;
-
Use of the barn as a centre for the local community and provision of cultural and other activities; and
-
Management of the asset to ensure that it can be maintained as befits its status
c. Volunteers
The Trust has two paid members of staff who are assisted by volunteers which over the year comprised 76 individuals. This assistance incorporated maintaining the site, planning, publicising, managing and hosting events and activities, cultivating the vegetable garden and general management.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Review of activities
Covid has continued to have an impact particularly during the early part of the year, but the Trust organised an adapted events and an activities programme during the year, as and when Covid 19 restrictions allowed. Despite these restrictions our various events attracted over 4,000 people over the year.
Over 200 people visited the Barn in September 2021 during the Heritage Open Days weekend. The Annual Orchard Harvest Day attracted over 900 visitors in October 2021 and the maximum number of 300 tickets for Carols in the Barn sold out almost immediately they were advertised in early December.
Apple Grafting and Fused Glass craft workshops proved very popular during the last 12 months and a weekly Tai Chi class has almost doubled in participant numbers. Many of the Tai Chi attendees reporting that their mental wellbeing has improved as a result of coming together regularly to exercise and socialise after two years of near isolation.
280 families took part in Family Craft days. These included (when families could only be entertained in the grounds) Woodland Wonderland, Safari Time and Carnival. Fun in the main Barn included Spooky Halloween, Christmas and Easter crafts.
A variety of talks on various subjects have been delivered to audiences who had a choice of attending in person or online through Zoom. It is planned to continue to offer this hybrid delivery,
Music and drama made a welcome return to the Barn culminating in March 2022 when Green Matthews’ performance of Canterbury Tales was enjoyed by a maximum audience of 140.
History of the Barn talks and tours were held monthly.
The Barn has also been used as a film location and we anticipate increased hire opportunities.
All the above events and activities were supported by our staff and numerous volunteers who also maintain the site and cultivate the vegetable garden.

WINTERBOURNE MEDIEVAL BARN TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. Income and Expenditure
The statement of financial activities for the Trust shows a surplus for the year of £46,344 (2021: deficit £5,334).
b. Balance sheet
The balance sheet as at 31 March 2022 shows net assets of £114,892 (2021: £68,548)
c. Reserve funds policy
The disclosure in the accounts analyses reserves between unrestricted funds, which are available for the main objects of the Trust, and restricted funds, which are only available for the purposes set down by the donor or under some other obligation. The trustees have examined the requirements for reserves considering the main risks to the Trust.
One of the obligations under the lease with SGC is for the Trust to apply a reasonable proportion of any surplus in each financial year into a sinking fund to provide for the expected cost of future major structural work to the site such that a minimum of £50,000 is established and maintained. The trustees consider a reasonable proportion for the year to be £10,000 and this amount was transferred from general funds into a designated Site sinking fund in the year.
The trustees consider that additional unrestricted funds should be designated to the building repair reserve as a contingency against future repair and maintenance costs of the site. £20,000 was transferred from general funds to the Building Repair Reserve in the year.
The trustees consider that at least three months fixed operating costs (estimated to be £16,000) should be the minimum amount maintained by the Trust in unrestricted, undesignated funds not committed or invested in fixed assets (the free cash reserves). As at 31 March 2022 free cash reserves held by the charity amounted to £32,693 (2021: £30,843).
Current free cash reserves are greater than the minimum because of sound financial management in the past and to provide an additional financial buffer whilst the Trust moves towards financial sustainability.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. Constitution
The charity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 12 June 2003 (company limited by guarantee) and is a registered charity number 1112908.
b. Method of appointment or election of trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected under the terms of the Articles of Association.

WINTERBOURNE MEDIEVAL BARN TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Under the requirements of the Articles of Association the number of trustees shall be not less than three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) shall not be subject to any maximum.
At each Annual General Meeting one third of the trustees shall retire. The trustees to retire first shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment. Those trustees who are retiring are eligible to seek re-election.
Members are encouraged to volunteer for a range of tasks including that of trustees; membership is open to all on payment of a modest subscription. Potential trustees are interviewed by a small panel of trustees before making a recommendation for appointment by the full trustee board. In the event of identified skills needed, the Trust will approach an appropriate agency such as CVS South Gloucestershire, VOSCUR or REACH in the quest to fill that skills gap, and a similar process is adopted before appointment.
c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees
The board of trustees strives to ensure that the trustees are informed and educated on their role and responsibilities as a charity trustee and director.
d. Organisational structure and decision making
The board of trustees meets on a regular basis and is responsible for setting the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The day to day administration of the trust is delegated to the members of the Finance Committee and General Purposes Committee. The Finance Committee is chaired by the Treasurer and the General Purposes Committee by the Vice Chair of Trustees. The Chair is an ex-officio member of both committees. In addition to these committees there is an Events and Publicity committee.
e. Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.
f. Impact of COVID 19
Along with most hospitality organisations our operations and plans continued to be impacted by Covid 19 for a large part of the year.
Our Business Plan prepared in 2017 was based on 2021/22 being an established year both as a Rural Craft and Heritage Centre, and with regard to our commercial hires (including weddings). The enforced closure and slow uptake in interest in hiring the barn, particularly for weddings have delayed this. Whilst we have several weddings in 2022 our bookings for 2023 are at this stage not promising.
Whilst the Medieval Fayre could not take place our other signature event, Orchard Harvest Day was a great success. We were also able to run many of our plays and music events. We have continued to hold some events in a hybrid fashion catering for those who could attend in person and those who couldn’t.

WINTERBOURNE MEDIEVAL BARN TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
All the Byre units remained fully let. This together with our successful events programme and the continued support from SGC via its Revenue Grant and Covid Support grants meant that financially we ended 2021/22 in a better financial position than we could have expected.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
a. Future developments
Since the physical refurbishment was completed in March 2020 and despite Covid, we have successfully established our operational infrastructure to run the site as a Rural, Craft and Heritage Centre. We have also been successful in bring back a full range of events and workshops.
Our focus going forward is to ensure that we can significantly increase our commercial hires, particularly weddings in the Main Barn, as this generates the income to support the general operation of the site.
We remain confident that we will have a successful future ahead of us and that Winterbourne Medieval Barn will continue to be a valued community asset.
MEMBERS' LIABILITY
The Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up.

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. The Trustees have considered the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Please see the Trustees' Report for further details. Having considered this and all other factors the Trustees are consider that the charity is able to continue as a going concern.
Income
Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows:
I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods;
II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.
Legacies are included on a receivable basis where charity is entitled to the income, it can be measured reliably and receipt is probable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is not included in income but is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Investment income is included on a receivable basis.
Donations in kind comprise donated services where the costs are measurable and the services would otherwise have to be paid for to maintain operational effectiveness.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
Raising funds
Raising funds expenditure include those costs incurred in seeking voluntary contributions, costs of goods sold and other costs which include the costs of running and participating in fundraising events and collections and cost of goods purchased for resale.
Charitable Activities
Grants awarded are allocated to charitable activities.
Grants awarded are treated as expenditure and a liability in the accounts as soon as they become legal or constructive obligations. In the case of multi-year grant awards, the funding for all years is immediately recognised unless there are conditions which need to be met by the recipient to enable the release of subsequent years’ funding.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Governance costs
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are included within support costs.
Allocation and apportionment costs
Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and this has been included in those cost categories. Other costs, which are attributable to more than one category, are apportioned across cost categories on the basis of an assessment of workload carried out from time to time.
Overhead support costs have been allocated between fundraising and publicity costs, fundraising trading and charitable activities. The apportionment has been allocated on the basis of usage and is analysed in
Intangible fixed assets
Website development has been capitalised to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the website are likely which will benefit to the Trust. The asset is being amortised over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets costing less than £250 are not capitalised. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated ultimate residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
-
Computer equipment - over 3 years; straight line Equipment - over 5 years; straight line
-
Other fixed assets - over 5 years; straight line
Heritage assets
Heritage assets are held at cost at the time of acquisition. The asset balance represents the historic cost of a cider mill purchased by the Trust in 2014. The cider mill has not been depreciated due to its long economic life and high residual value, meaning any depreciation charged would not be material. One of the Trust's objectives is conservation and therefore it is the responsibility of the trustees to ensure that the condition of the charity's heritage assets does not deteriorate over time.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Designated funds form part of unrestricted funds and have been identified as being for particular purposes by the Trustees. They are not restricted and can be transferred to general funds at any time at the discretion of the Trustees.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in note 17 of the financial statements.
