BAWDSEY RADAR TRUST
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Objectives of the Charity
The Charity is a Company limited by guarantee and has no share capital and was incorporated on the
16 January 2008. The Charity was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed
under its Articles of Association.
The aim is to conserve the Transmitter Block at Bawdsey, maintain a unique exhibition, educational
facility and visitor attraction, to explain how radar was developed and to record the central role that
Bawdsey and radar played in saving our country during the Battle of Britain and thereafter.
The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit and have strived to ensure that the Charity's activities reflect this.
Appointment of Trustees
Trustees are recruited through adverts in relevant local publications and recruitment websites (such
as NCVO, AIM etcl. The charity acknowledges the benefits of diversity and is seeking greater diversity
through the recruitment process. A recruitment panel of selected trustees and an independent
person holds final interliews.
Graham Murchie, who had stepped into the role of Chair on the unexpected resignation of the
previous Chair, stood down in September 2024. The Trustees were grateful for the energy and
enthusiasm that he brought to the role in somewhat difficult circumstances. He made it clear that he
would only act a5 Chair for one year. In a departure from previous practice, when he stood down, his
position was filled by Clare Sullivan and Peter Wain acting as co-chairs.
Review of Activities and summary of the year
There have been a number of changes in the year, the most significant of which was the departure of
Lynette Burgess, the Trust's salaried Visitor Services Manager. This was a great sadness and arranging
to cover Lynette's work with volunteers has been, at times, difficult because of the amount of work
Lynette undertook coupled with her considerable experience and knowledge. The Trustees are keeping
the situation under review as to whether a paid (full time or part timel employee may need to be
appointed in the future but in the meantime the Trust no longer has any employee and salary costs.
The Trust's bookkeeper, Katherine Kingston left to pursue her studies in August 2023. Her departure
was a significant loss to the Trust because her work was of the highest standard. The Trust was
however fortunate in obtaining the services of Vanessa Austin as a replacement volunteer bookkeeper
and she started in March 2024. As a result of the rigour and discipline in procedures and the supply
of information that Vanessa has introduced to her role the Trustees have a much greater awareness
and understanding of the Trust's finances. The Trustees are grateful that Vanessa has recently agreed
to take on the role of Treasurer after Kevin Sullivan, the then Treasurer, parted company with the
Trust.
The Trust has a very good working relationship with its landlord, PGL, and the local members of staff
have always been co-operative and helpful.

Financial Review
At 31 March 2025 the unrestricted funds were £62,815, the restricted funds were £85,601 and funds
totalled £148,416.
At the beginning of the financial year in April 2024 it was predicted that the Trust would make a loss
and at the 31 March 2025, the loss was £9,893. Grants and gifts had increased and although visitor
numbers were slightly up, revenue from admissions was down.
Included in the10s5 of £9,893 were window repair costs of £3,359. A donation was received post year
end of £3,000 towards these costs and will be recognised in 2025126.
Income from shop sales continued to provide essential additional income and talks about Bawdsey
Radar proved very popular and an excellent source of additional income.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees previously agreed that an Operational Reserve of £20k should be built up when possible
in case of a major incident not covered by our insurance. It turns out the loss of income caused by the
pandemic was one of these incidents. The current level of £20k has been reviewed by the Trust and it
was agreed that this will remain at this level for the time being although the Trustees acknowledge
this money may be required to meet operation expenditure in the short-term.
In addition 3 reserve fund of £50k has been put aside to meet current and future maintenance on the
refurbished building and surrounding infrastructure, but every opportunity will be taken to find
additional grant support for major works, such as window replacement, to minimise the drain on this
reserve.
Future strategy
The mood in the Trust is buoyant although a shortage in the number of Trustees (in December 2024
the number was five) and volunteers means that there is always a great deal of work to be covered.
That the work is covered is due to the keenness, commitment and hard work of all those involved for
which the Trustees are very grateful.
Although beyond the remit of this report, the trustees can report that they are optimistic about the
future and this optimism is borne out by events i
is current financial year.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General bnformation and basis of preparation
The Charity is a Company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The Charity is incorporated
in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Transmitter Block, Bawdsey,
Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12 3BA. The company number is 06474550. The nature of the charity's
operations and principal activities are to conserve the transmitter block at Bawdsey, create a unique
exhibition, educational facility and visitor attraction, to explain how radar was developed, and to
record the central role that Bawdsey and radar played in saving our country during the Battle of
Britain.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements 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 issued in October 2019, the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102), and
the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have been departed
from the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a
true and fair view. This departure has invloved following the 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 issued in October
2019, rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
effective from l April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention,
modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling
which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set
out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise
stated.
Going Concern
The funding model for the charity has changed significantly since the completion of the Lottery
project funding and the reduction in visitor numbers following the pandemic. The trustees, staff and
volunteers, have been working hard to increase visitor numbers but in reality these are not back to
pre-pandemic levels, leaving the Trust drawing on reserves to cover the increased costs. Since the
Balance Sheet date the trustees have been working on a Finance Plan to address the shortfall in funds
over the coming years and are confident that there are sufficient reserves in place to cover any
funding issues whilst the plan is given time to take effect. The trustee5 have therefore considered
the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the 12 months from the
date of authorising these financial statements and consider that the charity will still have sufficient
access to cash resources to operate in that period. The trustees therefore have a reasonable
expectation that the charity can continue in operation for the next 12 months and it is appropriate
to prepare the financial statements on a going-concern b35iS.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general
objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
