LLANTHONY SECUNDA PRIORY TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
Objectives and activities
The Trust's objects are:
-
to preserve for the benefit of the people of Gloucestershire and of the nation, the historical architecture and constructional heritage that may exist In and around Gloucestershire in buildings (including any structure or erection and any part of a building) of particular beauty or historical architectural or constructional interest. In particular to manage, restore and preserve for the benefit of the public, Llanthony Secunda Priory in the City of Gloucester
-
to advance the education of the public in the historical, architectural and constructional heritage in Gloucester, In particular the Llanthony Secunda Priory building and for the public benefit as a whole
-
to secure (as far as reasonably possible In accordance with all relevant laws and regulations) public access to the land known as Llanthony Secunda Priory In the City of Gloucester and registered under title number GR49417 and GR143668
To meet these objectives the Trust promotes itself to secure donations and grants, and is actively developing a wider range of other income sources.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit In our aims and objectives and In planning for our future activities.
Achievements and performance
Llanthony Secunda Priory is a scheduled monument, with seven individual listed structures/buildings. Four of the structures had been on the Historic England ‘At Risk’ register; the successful achievement of its Reformation Project resulted in these buildings being removed from this register in 2018.
In March 2016 the Trust was successful in being awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) grant of £3,194,400 towards a total scheme of £3,999,400 for the Llanthony Reformation Project.
The completion of the capital phase of the project was achieved in August 2018 with the opening of the two main building ranges – the Medieval Range and the Brick Range. From September 2018 the Priory has been open as a heritage attraction and venue.
The Trust continues to look for further funding to support future work, both capital grants and operational/activities awards, and for widened revenue streams through running events and undertaking appropriate cultural, heritage, educational, recreational, community and commercial activities.
Funding from the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund, through Gloucester City Council, is being used to create an outdoor activity and wellbeing area, promoting activity, health and wellbeing whilst enhancing ecology and biodiversity net gain.
At the end of 2025 the Trust applied to the National Lottery Heritage Fund programme for a further grant to support the Trust’s sustainability and resilience. We are delighted to report that a three-year grant of £235,384 was offered running from 1 April 2026 to 31 May 2029. The grant will support the appointment of a CEO, additional staffing for events, a finance assistant, together with a new enhanced website and e- commerce platform and integrated IT systems.

LLANTHONY SECUNDA PRIORY TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Prior to the NLHF application a revised draft Business Plan covering 2026-2029 was prepared, with the focus for 2026 to continue expanding the commercial revenue, whilst acting as an important Heritage site within the City of Gloucester and securing a sound basis for expansion through to 2029.
The Trust continues in partnership with Gloucestershire College who have a 10-year lease on space within the buildings to 2028. This lease contributes to the commercial income in the year.
The primary focus in 2025 was to continue developing the commercial/trading revenue, through a difficult trading environment. This revenue showed a small drop on the previous year on both hire fees and catering.
The site is a licensed venue for marriages for both indoors and outdoors ceremonies, as well as hosting civil ceremonies and receptions.
Various community-friendly events took place within the year – open days, heritage weekends, outdoor theatre, adventure cinema and workshops.
Volunteers continue to be a wonderful resource for Llanthony, especially in the maintenance of the overall grounds and the courtyard garden. Although many organisations are struggling to recruit volunteers we have welcomed new faces, and continue to promote the benefit of volunteering at Llanthony.
Investment performance
The Trustees have the power to invest any funds not required for immediate use after having taken financial advice and having regard to the suitability of the investments and the need for diversification.
Financial review
The financial year to December 2025 the Trust showed an small deficit on unrestricted funds amounting to £796 (year to December 2024 surplus £2,386), with all areas of the business showing a downturn on the previous year.
The Trust was able to make a VAT Capital Goods scheme retrospective claim, which resulted in a payment of £43,106 set against the Heritage Assets – this helped boost cash holdings.
Heritage Assets
The Trust’s heritage assets in terms of building and land were transferred to the Trust from Gloucester City Council for £1 in 2007. At the time the assets were in a ruinous state with no economic benefit. As a result of the grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England the two main structures and the landscape are being conserved and restored.
The decision has been taken that restoration and conservation works fall under the definition of Heritage Assets in FRS 102 and the Charity SORP. The value of the capital work and associated professional fees to date has therefore been capitalised during the past five financial years.
Major risks
The Trustees continued to review the major strategic, business and operational risks which the company faced and confirmed that systems were established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps could be taken to lessen these risks.
The principal risk to impact both financial and non-financial aspects for the Trust in 2025 and beyond is the sustainability of the required level of income to support the ongoing running costs.
The financial risk for 2026 and beyond remains significant. A revised operational budget for 2026 was prepared, but this does not include overhead costs and investment connected to the new IT systems and the major maintenance requirements for the buildings and site.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Structure, governance and management
Llanthony Secunda Priory Trust is a charitable company, incorporated on 19 February 2007, limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the number of trustees shall not be less than 3 and not more than 12.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Mr G Howell
Mr M White Mr P M Evans Mr M J Court Mrs J Crichard (Resigned 28 February 2026) Mr P S James Mr G Bowden Mr D Crofts Mrs R Roberts Mrs L Griffiths (Appointed 8 July 2025) Mrs M Ball* (Appointed 8 July 2025)
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
(* Co-opted in the year under review, ahead of formal appointment at the next AGM).
At each Annual General Meeting one third (or the number nearest one third) of the trustees shall retire.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company.
The trustees may at any time co-opt any person duly qualified to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee. A coopted trustee will hold office until the next AGM.
The liability of the members is limited, and each has undertaken to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of the winding up of the company.
The board of trustees meet on a regular basis, not less than four times a year, and is responsible for setting direction and policy of the charity. The day-to-day administration of the Trust is delegated to the Secretary of the Trust.
The Board had formed three sub-committees focusing on Operations, Business & Finance and Estates Management. The sub-committees met on a regular basis, between Trust meetings. Given the Trustee changes, it was decided to continue to hold Operation Board meetings regularly between Trust meetings. The agendas are to be fluid, with each meeting to have a particular focus, such as estates, finance, or recruitment, for example. Important decisions would be taken to full Trust meetings for formal ratification.
The structure Is under constant review, as the Trust develops.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Llanthony Secunda Priory Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 3 Ambrose House, Meteor Court, Barnett Way, Barnwood, Gloucester, GL4 3GG.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Income from government and other grants Is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds. Any performance conditions attached to the grants should have been met, and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 10 - 33% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Heritage assets
The Trust heritage assets in terms of building and land were transferred to the Trust from Gloucester City Council for £1. At the time the assets were in a ruinous state with no economic benefit. As a result of the grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Historic England the two main structures and the landscape are being conserved and restored.
Heritage assets in course of restoration are measured at cost of restoration works to date, including associated professional, legal and management fees where these contribute directly to the asset's restoration. Heritage assets In course of restoration are not depreciated.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

(Continued)
1.10 Financial instruments
The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the trust’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
