**The Blackdown Hills Trust** Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2021 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects of the charity are: 

1. To promote for the benefit of the public the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment. 

2. To advance the education of the public in conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment. 

3. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation for the public at large or individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life. 

Every potential project is evaluated as to how far it reflects our objects. In the future project evaluation will take into account how well outcomes have met with our objects. 

## **Achievements and performances** 

The Trust’s current activities are focused on enabling conservation grazing and woodland management in the public forest, encouraging environmental volunteering, and providing advice to landowners on woodland creation and management. 

The project funded by the Forestry Commission came to an end in March 2017 where it was hoped that the cattle owned by the Forestry Commission would be gifted to the Trust and the Trust could continue the grazing project. During the 2018-19 year end the cattle (livestock units (LU)) was subsequently gifted to the Trust by the Forestry Commission for £nil consideration. 86 LU’s were gifted at the value of £600 each (90% market value). A livestock leasing/management agreement is in place with the two graziers, whereby the graziers will purchase the cattle (at £600 each) over 4 years at which point they will take sole responsibility for the grazing project with the Forestry Commission and Natural England. 

The Trust is working with the Forestry Commission long term to take tenancy on open spaces in the Neroche public forest, and to enter into Higher Level Stewardship agreements with Natural England to enable the continued conservation management of these open areas, through extensive grazing with cattle. Public benefit includes long term conservation and better public access. This project is to some extent experimental; therefore it will also provide valuable information and education about potential management strategies for woodland pasture. 

The Trust are still holding Funds donated by the Blackdown Hills Woodland Association with the proviso that it is used for Wood / woodland / Tree related Projects. 

## **Plans for the future** 

The Blackdown Hills Trust is looking to extend the scope of its activities through more diverse projects. 

The Trust is now involved in applying for funding through FIPLS for scrib clearance and Machinery to help with the ongoing conservation 

## **Impact of Covid-19** 

The impact of Covid 19 has been minimal as farming has been able to carry on as normal, and all meetings are carried out with zoom.

**The Blackdown Hills Trust** Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2021 

## **Financial review and reserves policy** 

The charity operates with minimal running costs.  Most of its charitable work is undertaken on restricted projects, with an agreed contribution to unrestricted core costs wherever possible.  A surplus of £2,211 was made during the year (2020: deficit £10,483). The main costs are cattle management and repairs and maintenance of fencing, which together cost £43,618 (2020: £72,848). Cattle were donated in the 2019-year end and are held as stock until they are sold to the graziers over the next 3 years. During the year, 7 Livestock Units were sold which generated £4,200 of income. 

At 31 March 2021, the charity had total reserves of £67,906 (2020: £65,695), of which £8,863 is unrestricted (2020: £10,154) and £59,043 is restricted (2020: £55,541). The unrestricted reserves would allow for approximately 1 year of unrestricted expenditure, which is in line with expectations. Reserves are held for future plans for the charity and the intention is that spending will be capped to income to maintain reserves. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed. They have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage them appropriately. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are directors of The Blackdown Hills Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report (incorporating the Directors’ Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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 and are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information on the charity’s website.

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## 1.3 

## **Income** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income. The valuation of donated services is not quantified within the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Donated stock is included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from the sale less the expected costs of the sale. If practical to assess the fair value at receipt, it is recognised in stock and income from donations. Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against charitable activities expenditure and the proceeds are recognised as income from donations. 

Income from grants, relating to specifically the provision of goods or services as part of charitable activities or services to clients are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable and in the period in which they relate to. Grants are deferred when the monies have been received in advance of the period in which they relate to.

Expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis.  Liabilities are recognised in the accounting period to which they relate.

**The Blackdown Hills Trust** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2021 

## 1.5 **Government grants** 

Government grants are accounted for when unconditionally due and reasonable assurance can be gained that it will be received. Where funds are received in advance, for a specified period, these funds are deferred and recognised in the period to which they relate. Where funds have not been received in a specified period, these funds will be accrued in debtors and recognised in the period to which they relate. Not all grants received have conditions and performance indicators attached, where this is the case, the income is included within donations. Performance related grants are included within Charitable Activities income. 

## 1.6 **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Plant and machinery                       20% straight line basis 

## 1.7 **Stock** 

Cattle stock is valued at the lower of cost (donated fair value) or net realisable value. 

## 1.8 **Debtors** 

Accrued income is recognised at the settlement amount due and prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## 1.9 **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand comprise cash on hand and call deposits that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## 1.10 **Creditors** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount. 

## 1.11 **Financial instruments** 

The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and liabilities of the charity and their measurements are as follows: 

Financial assets – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 16. Prepayments are not financial instruments. 

Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. 

Financial liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 16. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument. 

## 1.12 **Covid-19** 

The trustees have considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the operations of the Charity. The Charity continues to receive its main source of funding and delivers projects. The Charity has the ability to cap expenditure in line with income. Taking into account all reasonable circumstances, the trustees believe that the Charity remains a going concern and no adjustments to the accounts are necessary.
