Significant external risks exist in respect of delivery of projects in accordance with the requirements of external funders. These risks are managed through the oversight of projects by designated trustees, and regular review and discussion of the projects in Board meetings.

A general risk to the Trust's operations exists through the difficulty in securing funding for general charitable activities and the trustees remain mindful of the need to control costs and increase fundraising. Further measures to increase the Trust’s resilience were taken in 2019. A new project is being sought in the coming year.

Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, both within the Trust offices, at various geological sites across the two counties and during other activities conducted by the Trust.

trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The Trust’s objects are to promote the protection, conservation and improvement of Earth heritage sites for the benefit of the public, in particular, but not exclusively, in the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire; and also to educate the public in Earth heritage.

Page 2 of 16

The following main activities were undertaken for public benefit in relation to the Trust’s objects during 2022:

Malvern Hills Site Maintenance

The Malvern Hills AONB and the Malvern Hills Trust contracted the Trust to undertake site maintenance at several important Earth heritage sites for the benefit of all visitors to these sites.

Conserving Herefordshire’s Ice Age Ponds

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The delivery stage of this project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund concluded in 2022. It was in partnership with the Herefordshire Wildlife Trust and the Herefordshire Amphibian and Reptile Team and our Trust’s role relates to understanding the geological heritage of the sites and landscape, involving the general public as volunteers. A variety of contributions were successfully delivered and a bespoke website iceageponds.org was fully populated

Birmingham’s Erratic Boulders: Heritage of the Ice Age This project in which we lead a partnership with the Black Country Geological Society, Birmingham Open Spaces Forum and the Lapworth Museum of Geology was funded by he National Lottery Heritage Fund. Because of a change in Project Manager, we extended the project to September 2023 having delivered many activities including four trail leaflets and a museum exhibition by the end of 2022. A separate website erraticsproject.org was developed.

Website and newsletter

No major adjustments to the Trust’s main website were needed to the website. We continue with a monthly newsletter linked in part to posts on the website which have been fruitful.

Assessment of site conditions of Sites of Special Scientific Importance. Two sites were surveyed on behalf of Natural England

Site designation and documentation. We designated several new Local Geological Sites in the two counties and continue to develop mapbased summaries of our designated sites.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

The Trust would not function without the support of its volunteers. Volunteers assist with all aspects of the Trust’s work from acting as Trustees, assisting with specific projects, helping at public events as well as leading public walks and giving talks.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

New volunteers continue to be recruited and trained and participated in the projects mentioned in the previous section. Also volunteers are also still undertaking work developed during previous projects such as:

Trail Watch Volunteers, developed in 2010/11, continue to monitor the condition of the Geopark Way by walking sections and reporting their findings to the Trust, who in turn inform the relevant local authority.

The Community Earth Heritage Champions Project (2008-2012) recruited local volunteers to take on the monitoring, conservation and education roles at a local level at specific sites across the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Many of the original volunteers together with some new recruits continue giving considerable amount of time to this work.

Section D Achievements and performance

Maintenance of long-distance route. The Geopark Way, a 109-mile route has been supported by sales of the guide and by recruiting volunteers to check on route condition.

Reduction in footprint. We have given up one of our three offices and disposed of a variety of materials that are no longer needed in response to changing working practices and changes in the nature of external activities.

Cataloguing of Trust’s archive. An experienced volunteer has catalogued and arranged the Trust’s physical archive following a cull of unsorted material from previous projects over the last 20 years. We now have approved a Hard Archive policy.

Section E Financial review

While the Trust has no significant fixed overheads, equally it has no Brief statement of the significant fixed sources of income. Accordingly, the trustees accept that charity’s policy on reserves the level of retained reserves will fluctuate from year to year. The trustees seek to deliver a continuation of its basic charitable undertakings, with the necessary costs involved, while they continue to look for additional sources of income, grants and donations and develop its fundraising activities. The trustees aim to build and maintain the reserves at a level that can sustain activities for a period of 12 months or more. Reserves decreased by several thousand pounds in 2022 but were still well above this level. Details of any funds materially in deficit

Herefordshire & Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust Notes to the Accounts, year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

a The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 2005 - Accounting and Reporting by Charities - and the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
b The accounts are not affected by the 2015 changes in accounting practices as the accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis.

1.2 Incoming resources

a Recognition of incoming resources: These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
- the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
  - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

b

Incoming resources with related expenditure:

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.

c

External projects :

Income or cost balances are only taken into General Funds on satisfactory completion of the projects. Where projects are ongoing, income or cost balances are carried in the balance sheet as Restricted Funds.

d Grants and donations :

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts :

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the time they are received from HMRC.
f

Contractual income and performance related grants:

This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

Gifts in kind:

g Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. There were no gifts in kind in the current year. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. As above, there were no gifts in kind in the current year.

h Donated services and facilities :

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Page 9 of 16

i Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

j Investment income:

This is included in the accounts when receivable. We have received no interest on our bank account since October 2016.

k Investment gains and losses :

This would include any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. There were no investment gains or losses in the current year.

1.3 Expenditure and Liabilities

a

Liability recognition :

Liabilities are usually recognised at the time of payment; in exceptional circumstances they are recognised on an accruals basis as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. December Credit Card purchases have been included in this year's accounts while the payment to our card provider will be made in January 2023.

b Governance costs :

Includes costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Grants with performance conditions:

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

d Grants payable without performance conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.

e

Support Costs :

Support costs include central functions not otherwise allocated to projects. Where costs have been allocated to projects it has been done on the basis of a mixture of consultant days and floor space used for the Erratics project and consultant days for Ice Age Ponds.

1.4 Assets

a

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity:

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt. No tangible fixed assets were purchased in the current year.

b Investments :

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. No investments were made in the current year.

c Stocks and work in progress :

Stock of publications is not valued or included at the end of the year.

5 Analysis of Project Balances held in restricted funds

Income balances in excess of costs are usually monies received in advance of planned costs and are carried forward to meet future liabilities on the project.

Expenditure is committed to projects ahead of income receipts only where funding has been approved. In these circumstances, the company may use its own cash reserves to finance timely commencement of such projects.

The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirement:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting software, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a propose understanding of the accounts to be reached
