Directors’ Report (continued)

Structure, governance and management

As TCT was established for the benefit of the Christian congregational community of Cheltenham, the majority of Directors are appointed through direct elections within the local parish. Prospective Directors are nominated by the congregation, and elected at the TCT Annual General Meeting.

In order to maintain the objective of operating for the benefit of Holy Trinity Church, Cheltenham and other such bodies as the directors may see fit, the board has a minimum of seven members. This membership consists of three permanent members, being the incumbent minister of Holy Trinity Church, Cheltenham and the two church wardens. In addition, a minimum of four ordinary members, elected as detailed above.

No business is transacted at general meetings without a quorum present, being no less than five Directors entitled to vote, of whom not less than three must be elected Directors. The Directors of TCT may delegate certain authorities to specific Directors or other persons as is felt necessary.

When appointing newly elected Directors, TCT has a policy of induction which includes ensuring that they are fully aware of their responsibilities in relation to both Companies House and Charities Commission guidance and the objectives of TCT.

Risk management

The board regularly discuss and assess the major risks to which the company is exposed and considered the safeguards that have been and can be implemented to mitigate those risks. In accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities the Directors annually review and update the formal risk assessment.

Objectives and activities

The aims and objectives of Trinity Cheltenham Trust Limited are as follows:

TCT is committed to enabling as many people as possible to have access to its facilities and we maintain a policy of being open and inclusive for all sections of the community. In striving towards this, TCT has considered the Charity Commissioners’ guidance on public benefit.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Achievements, performance and plans for future periods

Throughout 2021 and against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic TCT has continued to focus on the utilisation of facilities and generating sufficient funds and donations to serve its aims and objectives and meet its financial obligations, including servicing and reducing debt.

TCT has continued to operate substantially through the property known as ‘Trinity Fusion’ at 98 Winchcombe Street Cheltenham, held on a 250 year leasehold, and the adjoining building, known as ‘Trinity House’ at 100-102 Winchcombe Street Cheltenham, for which TCT owns the freehold (TCT has a mortgage with Kingdom Bank, secured against these assets). The Trust also maintained a lease for rental of additional office space at ‘Winchcombe House’ on Winchcombe Street in Cheltenham. Space in these properties being utilised to further the Trust's aims and objectives by organisations whose objectives are congruent with that of TCT.

In last year's report, the Directors noted that a review of the use and lease for the offices at ‘Winchcombe House’ had concluded the need to identify better suited office space than that currently leased at Winchcombe House. The Directors are pleased to report the freehold purchase of a small office building located at 45 Portland Street. This was enabled through receipt of a generous donation from an existing supporter covering half of the purchase costs and provision of bridging finance through another supporter. A second mortgage with Kingdom Bank secured against this asset has now been secured and notice given on Winchcombe House. In the course of a full year, the cost of the new office space will be considerably less than Winchcombe House.

In common with all charities, the trustees have been mindful of the direct and future implications of COVID-19 on activities. Please see comments below on financial aspects; however, we are pleased to report that we have been able to maintain many of our activities despite pressures.

Financial review

Total income in the year was £319,011 (2020 - £130,601), this included a donation towards buying 45 Winchcombe Street. The main source of income was from charitable gifts or donations, which totalled £254,871 (2020 - £71,057). This figure was inclusive of £7,693 (2020 - £8,385) Gift Aid recovered. There were no restricted gifts received within the year (2020 — nil). TCT also generated £64,140 (2020 - £59,544) in the year through sales activity with income from the use of its facilities. Total Expenditure in the year was £132,740 (2020 - £122,413), including £24,262 (2020 - £38,565) on rent and service charge for Winchcombe House offices and service charge associated with the leasehold of Trinity Fusion.

There were no expenses against restricted funds in the year (2020 — nil).

The resulting surplus for the year was £186,271 (2020 - £8,188). Cumulative funds at the year-end were £838,032 (2020 - £651,761), which includes no carried forward restricted funds (2020- nil). Trinity Cheltenham Trust Limited Annual Report and Accounts 2021

At the year end, TCT owned tangible fixed assets with a net book value of £1,347,140 (2020 - £935,129) and had net current liabilities of £213,645 (2020 net current assets — £25,265) TCT’s creditors which are due after more than one year are £295,463 (2020 - £308,633), which represents the balance of the Kingdom Bank mortgage together with a private unsecured interest free loan.

TCT is registered for VAT. All items shown in the financial statements are net of VAT, with a VAT creditor of £3,027 (2020 debtor - £2,197) at the year-end representing the balance of the VAT quarter ended 31 December 2021.

TCT continues to exercise all appropriate internal controls, reporting and general financial systems to ensure effective financial management and to limit financial exposure wherever possible. The Trustees are currently assessing the need for major expenditure on repairs required to the roof of the Fusion building. Over recent years, money has been set aside into a capital projects fund and the Trustees will make use of this.

TCT holds no stock or petty cash.

COVID19

In common with other charitable organisations, the charity was again impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic, with reduction in rental opportunities.

The Trustees will continue careful monitoring of income and expenditure to ensure that the charity can continue to meet all its obligations.

Statement of directors’ responsibilities

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the 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 company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant Companies Act and Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

| report to the Trustees on the financial statements of Trinity Cheltenham Trust Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021. ,

Respective responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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 for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, | 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, | have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

:

| have completed my examination. | confirm that no material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe that in material respect:

In considering other matters to which attention should be drawn, we draw your attention to note 1.2 to the financial statements and the disclosures made in the going concern accounting policy which describes an uncertainty relating to the going concern of the Charity. The Charity is dependent on donations and other income which are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict as the UK enters the post lockdown recession. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the financial statements were not prepared on a going concern basis. Otherwise | 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

  1. Accounting policies

1.1. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Charity Statement of Recommended Practice 2019 for FRS102. The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

1.2 Going concern The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast a significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

In making the current year’s assessment the Trustees have taken into account cash reserves and available unrestricted funds at the point of approving the financial statements and reviewed detailed forecasts.

There are inherent uncertainties regarding the forecasts, such as the extent of the impact of the UK recession on the Charity and the levels of future incoming resources. However the Charity continues to be supported by its supporters and the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will have adequate resources to continue in operation for at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements.

Consequently, the Trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual statements.

The Trustees make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. There are no estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

General funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the Trustees. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the Trustees are also unrestricted.

Restricted funds represent the funds of the charity that can only be used for particular restricted purposes with in the object of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular purposes.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Trustees are responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Trinity Cheltenham Trust Limited Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

1.5 Income and endowments

The charity is registered for VAT. Income from use of facilities represents the total invoice value, excluding VAT, of sales and rentals made during the year.

Donations and legacies are included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated assets are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

1.6 Expenditure

Expenses are recognised in the year in which they are incurred.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities. Itincludes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

1.7 Taxation

The charities activities fall within the exemptions afforded by the provision of the Income and Corporation Taxed Act 1988. Accordingly, there is no taxation charge in these financial statements.

1.8 Capitalisation and depreciation of tangible fixed assets All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset (excluding freehold land) over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold buildings - 50 years straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% straight line Leasehold property - 250 years straight line

1.9 Leasing Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income ona straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.10 Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. All trade debtors are repayable within one year and hence are included at the undiscounted cost of cash expected to be received. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the debtors.

Trinity Cheltenham Trust Limited Annual Report and Accounts 2021

11

Trinity Cheltenham Trust Limited Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Trade creditors are obligations for pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, otherwise they are presented as noncurrent liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and are repayable within one year and hence are included at the undiscounted amount of cash expected to be paid.

1.12 Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented asa liability on the balance sheet. The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expenses in the profit and loss account.

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit and loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Funds held by the charity are either:

Unrestricted funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the directors.

Designated funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the directors.

Restricted funds - these are funds which 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 purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
