**APPROVAL COGGES HERITAGE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

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 charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the Trust are to preserve, protect, develop and improve the archaeological, historical, architectural and environmental heritage of the site of Cogges Manor Farm and associated land for the benefit of the people of Oxfordshire and the members of the wider public such as visitors to the county; and to advance the education of the public in an understanding of rural heritage and contemporary and future farming and food production. 

The Trust, with the continued support of its volunteers and paid staff, continues to be a strong attraction to the local community as well as those from further afield and Trustees are always mindful of the need to review the offer to the public on a regular basis to ensure their continued support. 

Following the easing of Government restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, Cogges Manor Farm started a phased reopening at the end of March 2021. This initially involved pre-booked admission only so as to regulate numbers on site with the café operating on a takeaway basis only. Visitor numbers from the local area were strong, but we also received visitors from further afield including larger conurbations where people were seeking the space and tranquillity that Cogges has to offer. 

As the months progressed the rest of the site gradually reopened including the Manor House, outdoor children’s play area, indoor cafe seating and was done in line with the prevailing Government guidelines at the time. Cogges Heritage Enterprises were also able to resume weddings although on a limited basis. 

Most of our traditional events were again postponed, however we were able to stage a highly successful Halloween and Christmas offer which included a light trail for the first time. 

As part of the grant awarded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) significant investment in improved visitor and volunteer facilities was undertaken in 2021. This included improved heating, lighting and interpretation in the Manor House, an introductory video, dedicated disabled car park and new toilet facilities. Adult learning courses were also initiated together with an improved offer for schools including children with Special Educational Needs and a program aimed at young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). The final stage of the investment includes the building of a replica Saxon House close to the entrance and car park with work scheduled to commence in 2022. The construction of a pathway from the main car park, involving the bridging of a culvert and a path across a field was also completed and funded by the Trust from grants received to support the Next Steps project which involves developments over and above the NLHF project. 

As part of our agreement with Oxfordshire County Council in acquiring the freehold of the site, work on renovating the Barley barn roof was almost completed by the end of the year and work on the Wheat barn started in the Autumn. 

An event was held in July to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Cogges Heritage Trust being formed. This also coincided with the reopening of the Manor House and other NLHF / Next Steps funded projects.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Financial review** 

For 2021 the Trust achieved a surplus after depreciation, in respect of unrestricted activities of £174,405 (2020 - £326,534). The 2020 surplus, however, included £333,333 of unrestricted funds received from Oxfordshire County Council relating to the transfer of the freehold of Cogges to the Trust. But for this, the Trust would have incurred a deficit of £6,799. The details of the financial performance are shown in the following statements of account for the period ended 31 December 2021. 

The Trust continues to charge Cogges Heritage Enterprises for use of Trust resources including staffing, based upon apportioning those costs which relate to the daily operation of both organisations on the basis of the percentage of total income generated by the respective organisations, excluding certain income such as grants and gift aid.  This basis of apportionment will be kept under review. Any profit the trading company makes after these charges may be donated to the Trust. 

The Trust has determined that it will maintain a cash reserve of £90,000 equivalent to a three year cash deficit of £30,000 or approximately three months operating costs. This will be kept under review. 

The Trust’s current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI’s Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU). 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Trustees have established four committees reporting directly to the Trust Board:  Finance and Property Committee, People and Legal Committee, Business Development Group, and Development Committee. 

The appointment of new Trustees is by resolution of the existing Trustees. The Trust’s constitution provides for a minimum of 5 Trustees (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) but there is no maximum number of Trustees. Two Trustees must be resident in Witney or one of the surrounding parishes. 

In November 2021 Judy Niner stood down as CHT Chairman after 11 years in post. Paul Evans was elected by 

the Board in her place. 

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the Trust or Company. All of the Trustees are members of the 

Company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

The Trustees have developed a risk management strategy which comprises (i) an annual review of the risks faced by the charity, and (ii) the establishment of systems and procedures designed to manage those risks identified.   The primary risk faced by the Trust is that it is unable to identify and secure sufficient funding to keep the site open to the public.  Work continues to identify new sources of funding and to explore the developments which need to be made to the site to attract a wider range of visitors in the future.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

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: 

J Niner (Resigned 10 February 2022) J Bradshaw G Merifield J Bugeja J Harwood J Holberry (Resigned 3 February 2022) P Evans S Rodway A Blythe-Smith A Nickson G Dow (Appointed 25 November 2021) P Harkness (Appointed 25 November 2021) S Williams (Appointed 25 November 2021) K Butler (Appointed 3 February 2022 and resigned 30 September 2022) R Harber (Appointed 3 February 2022) E Spencer 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees are aware of their public benefit duties and confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the Trust should undertake. 

## **Economic outlook and future plans** 

As is the case with many visitor attractions, 2022 is seeing a downturn in visitor numbers and the Trust is already engaged in minimising any financial effects in 2022 and engaged in planning its offer for 2023 onwards. As a local attraction the Trust has not been as affected by this downturn as other more nationally based attractions.  In addition cost pressures, especially in respect of energy, have had a significant effect on the Trust, and this is being taken into account in planning for 2023. 

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COGGES HERITAGE TRUST** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Cogges Heritage Trust (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination,  I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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). 

I 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 financial statements to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Cogges Heritage Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Cogges Manor Farm, Church Lane, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28 3LA. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and “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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 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 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. 

## **1.3 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity 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. 

The charge made by the Trust to it's subsidiary company, Cogges Heritage Enterprises Limited, for use of its resources, including staffing, is based upon apportioning those costs which relate to the daily operation of both organisations on the percentage of total income generated by the respective organisations, excluding certain income, such as grants and gift aid. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity 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. 

Income from grants is recognised where there is entitlement and all conditions for receipt have been met. 

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.4 Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as the liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

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

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examiner's fees linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

## **1.5 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. 

Tangible fixed assets donated to the charity are initially measured at fair value of the donation. They are subsequently shown 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: 

Freehold property improvements 10% straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment 20% reducing balance 

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. 

## **1.6 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the Statement Of Financial Activities. 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity 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). 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The charity 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity 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, 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. 

## **1.10 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

## **1.11 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’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.

Freehold land and buildings with a carrying amount of £325,186 (2020 - £134,814) have been pledged against any liabilities owed to National Heritage Memorial Fund, limited to a maximum of £815,653. 

On 25 March 2020, Cogges Heritage Trust acquired Cogges Manor Farm from Oxfordshire County Council. 

The cash consideration for this acquisition was £1. The trustees consider this to the reflect the fair value of the property, due to the number of conditions and restrictions that are attached to the freehold property. Given these restrictions, the property is reflected in the restricted fund. 

As a condition of the transfer of the title to the property, Oxfordshire County Council hold the option of repurchasing the property at a cost of £1 on completion of set conditions. The conditions specified are that either the Cogges Manor Farm Heritage Centre is permanently closed to members of the public, or that the Trust serves written notice to Oxfordshire County Council of it's intention to dispose of the property. This option is available to Oxfordshire County Council for 125 years from the date of the transfer of the property, being 25 March 2020.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost. 

## **Financial assets for which fair value cannot be measured reliably** 

Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, in line with the accounting policy. Subsidiaries are not held at fair value as there is no active market so a fair value cannot be measured reliably.

## **20 Restricted funds** 

**(Continued)** 

The Next Steps project is funded by grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund together with other donations and grants, and relates to the ongoing development and enhancement of the visitor experience to Cogges. 

The transfer from restricted to unrestricted funds of £268,137 relates to tangible fixed assets funded by grants received for the Next Steps project. The conditions of the grant were met once the assets were acquired, and the charity now holds the assets for its general charitable purpose. As a result, a transfer of the value of these assets has been made from the restricted fund to unrestricted funds. 

The Barn Roofs project relates to the renovation of the two major barn roofs. This is funded by the receipt of £1 million from Oxfordshire County Council of which two thirds must be spent on this project. A total of £15,613 was spent during 2018 and 2019 in anticipation of the £1 million receipt. In 2021 £277,382 was spent on the project (2020 - £154,111). 

The Light the Fire appeal relates to the restoration of the range. In 2020, £1,036 was raised in donations towards the restoration costs. The restoration was completed in the 2020 year and excess costs over amounts raised were funded from unrestricted reserves. 

The NLHF Emergency Fund relates to a £61,100 grant received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund intended to cover costs incurred during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, primarily staff, professional and equipment costs. 

The Cogges Manor Farm property fund relates to the transfer of the property from Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) that arose on the disposal of the lease and immediate acquisition of the freehold for £1 consideration from OCC. There are ongoing restrictions on its use and the charity cannot sell it without prior consent of the council.
