The Barracks Trust Limited
Trustees Report ( incorporating the Director's report)
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The Trust aims to:
Ensure the conservation of the Barracks for present and future generations; support local communities through grant-aiding local voluntary and community groups.
It intends to meet these aims through meeting the following objectives:
-
Development of a fundraising strategy to meet building refurbishment costs;
-
Ensuring that grant aid is available to individuals and small organisations for the benefit of the
-
residents of Newcastle-under-Lyme and surrounding area;
-
Ensuring that the organisation’s governance and administration are fit for purpose;
-
Maximising the usage potential of the building for income generation;
-
Establishing a property that complies with all legal, planning and general building legislation;
-
Improving the historic profile and increase public awareness of the Barracks as a Heritage site.
Public benefit
The trustees have kept in their duty to ensure that the resources of The Barracks Trust are used for public benefit. This has been realised by the Trust in:
-
Providing grants to local charitable organisations;
-
Providing grants to individuals;
-
Maintaining and improving the Barracks, a significant heritage asset in the town centre.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Grant making policies
During the year ending 31 March 2025 the Trust distributed £3,732 (2024 £4,950) in charitable grants and £349 in donations (2024:£1,606). One of the major problems with grants giving is finding worthy causes to support but grants and donations this year have supported Newcastle Foodbank, supplied a sensory mark making board, enabled housing modifications for a disabled child, St Chads C of E School, Emmaus Staffs t/a Emmaus Potteries and contributions to Newcastle Rotary Club who were supporting various charities and individuals. The Trust has provided £600 in prizes to support Newcastle-under-Lyme’s Music Festival and Newcastle’s Open Art and Craft Exhibition 2024 art prize. Grants to individuals total £732.
The Trust has developed an informal partnership with Newcastle Rotary Club, whereby the two parties work together to provide joint funding for certain projects e.g. safe garden access for disabled child.

Trustees Report ( incorporating the Director's report)
Financial review
During this financial year the Trust has undertaken general maintenance and repairs at a cost of £25,451 which is lower than 2024 (£28,000). This includes guttering replacement £18,219 and continuing work on the windows as necessary of £2,327. General repairs and gardening totalled £4,905. Roof and damp issues are constantly monitored, and corrective work carried out as these issues occur.
During this financial year the Board has continued to instigate the decision made in 2023/24 to recommence the replacement of the windows. The terms of reference for Phase III have been drawn up and an initial investigation has established that there would be a further thirty-eight to be replaced at an estimated cost of £160,000. The project will be broken down into three phases, and an application has been made to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for financial support.
The Trust has continued with its initiative to make the building more energy efficient. This has seen the installation of loft insulation in a number of units and the replacement of old wall heaters with new eco-friendly alternatives. One significant development was the investigation to consider solar panels as an alternative power source. A specialist consultant was tasked with providing the Board with a feasibility study at a cost of £3,060. It was hoped that the study would identify economic benefits for the tenants and make the building environmentally friendly. The study found that the estimated cost for solar panels would be in the order of £60,000 but unfortunately with little benefit to either the landlord or the tenants in terms of their energy costs.
In this financial period the Board has successfully overseen the replacement of old and insecure plastic guttering with new guttering based on a Victorian design which is more sympathetic with the overall architecture of the building. The work for this latest replacement was completed by September 2024 at a cost of £18,219.
Policy on reserves
The Trust currently hold unrestricted free reserves of £20,000 (2024 £18,000). to cover
-
potential rent arrears;
-
tenants leaving and units being left vacant unable to rent out;
• the need to leave units untenanted to ensure building works may be carried out safely and efficiently;
- any unplanned emergency repairs.
There is also a designated fund over and above the reserves, to pay for building improvements. At 31 March 2024 designated reserves were £89,539 to be used to complete the Phase II window replacement project and the replacement of the guttering and to investigate and address the environmental issues and concerns for tenants.
At 31 March 2025 designated reserves of £104,396 are available for specific improvements and towards Phase III of the first floor front window replacement.
The remainder of the unrestricted designated funds are £550,000 (2023 £550,000) which is the value of the property.

Trustees Report ( incorporating the Director's report)
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees are authorised by the Memorandum of Association to deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund manager and arrange for the investments or other property of the Charity to be held in the name of a nominee.
Achievements and performance
The trustees continue to carry out the vast majority of the work associated with the Trust.
Business Planning
The trustees renewed their action plan in April 2015, and the following objectives were adopted: 1. To conserve and preserve the building for future generations, in keeping with plans to improve the town;
-
To ensure that the units are of sufficient standard for letting;
-
To attract the right mix of tenants in keeping with the ambience of the Barracks and its purpose;
-
To maximise the surplus for charity distribution given the constraints on the mix of tenants desired;
-
To promote the history of the building;
-
To ensure that the organisation’s governance and administration are fit for purpose;
-
To ensure that grant aid is available to individuals and small organisations for the benefit of the residents of Newcastle-Under-Lyme and surrounding area.
These have been used to drive all activity this year.
Grant Giving – The Trust’s grant giving activities have not been curtailed during this current period, but it is largely down to finding worthy causes to support that restricts the grant giving
The Building and Lettings
During this period the Trust has focused on developing a strategic maintenance and development plan to safeguard the longevity of the building. This covers general maintenance, window replacement, unit refurbishment and the courtyard development and repairs.
There are Environmental issues and concerns which the Trust had decided to initiate by having Energy Reviews to produce an Energy Performance Certificate for each unit. The provision of extra loft insulation and possibly replacing gas boilers with the more energy efficient Green electricity is being discussed. Most of this was initiated after March 2021.
The Trust is also considering ways in which they can help their tenants with the increase in gas and electricity costs as it would prefer to intervene in some positive way rather than letting the businesses fail.

Trustees Report ( incorporating the Director's report)
General Maintenance
During this period the general maintenance programme has continued with the Trust focusing on any roof or damp issues. A recent roof survey shows the roof to be in sound condition and any rising damp issues are promptly resolved and are well managed by a building contractor with a proven quality service record. The cost of general maintenance was £4,175.
Unit Refurbishment
There were no significant refurbishment projects during this financial period.
Window Replacement
The Trust initiated Phase II of the project in the year 31 March 2022 which covered the replacement of the ground floor windows on the front elevation. A project budget of £60,000 had been established and a Project Manager and Health and Safety consultant appointed. The windows were installed by March 2022 at a cost of £45,470. Further costs were later incurred for the repairs to the masonry and other external repairs following the installation.
Previously discussed, to replace the final first floor front windows, Phase III will hopefully recommence in 2026 with the Trust investing resources to support the submitted funding bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Work costing £25,900 has been completed since April 2025 for Phase III.
Property Management and Tenancies
Despite tenants leaving during this period there has not been a problem in finding suitable replacements. The town centre location, having a car parking space and the character of the building ensure that there are people keen to take up each vacant unit. The only time that units remain empty is when they are awaiting refurbishment and whilst the work is being carried out.
The Trust has provided an award to support the Open Art Exhibition for the Borough of Newcastle each year since 2014 and is committed to continue this practice in the future. The Trust also provided an award to the Newcastle Music Festival in 2017, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2025 of £250. The Trust is committed in supporting the Arts, in its widest context, within the Borough. This has enabled the trustees to become more involved with local networks and to recognise local excellence e.g. supporting the Lantern Parade.

Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 November 2010 and registered as a charity on 19 July 2011.The company was established under a Memorandum of Association. It is not a membership charity.
This charitable company received the assets of the pre-existing unincorporated association, the Barracks Trust (registered charity number 217919) on 1 April 2012. Incorporation was sought to protect the trustees of the charity and also to facilitate the development of the organisation by, for example, taking ownership of other properties.
The Barracks is a grade 2 listed building in the centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme. The building has 19 separate units which are rented out to local organisations. The income is used to maintain and improve the building and the surplus is distributed to local community and voluntary groups and individuals in need through a grant-giving process.
The Trust pays for the services of a managing agent, Lowe and Elliott, to oversee the management of the property. The Trust also pays for administration support. The financial recording is carried out by a volunteer accountant who works closely with the Trust’s treasurer.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The serving trustees elect the trustees.
The Trust are actively looking to recruit new trustees. During a previous period, the Trust participated in an event which was organised by VAST for attracting new trustees into the voluntary sector. Further events involvement needs to be undertaken.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Barracks Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognsied as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Page 10
The Barracks Trust Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant provisions
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Major expenditure during the year is due to refurbishment of vacant units and necessary repairs to occupied units, windows, fire alarm and courtyard. This is on-going and necessary to maintain a sufficient standard for letting and to conserve and preserve the building for future generations and is therefore written off in full in the year it is incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Depreciation and amortisation
Asset class
Land and Buildings
Depreciation method and rate no depreciation is provided
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to 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 Charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
