CLIFF HOUSE TRUST LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Cliff House Trust Limited for the year 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit. The charitable company's objectives are to provide and maintain Cliff House for the use of the inhabitants of, and visitors to, Salcombe, Devon without distinction of political, religious or other opinions. More specifically, the aim is to provide community facilities such as an assembly room, reading room, library and recreation garden for those in the locality.

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

For many years the Trustees of Cliff House Trust have faced the problem of the progressive deterioration of their principal asset (the house itself). From its inception the Trust was endowed with adjacent land and properties the income from which was intended to fund the upkeep and maintenance of Cliff House. All of the properties were disposed of by the Trust by the early 1960s, and without income from them the Trust has struggled to cope with the increasing deterioration of the building. The incorporation of the Trust coincided with a radical change in the business model combining more organised fundraising activity with a strategy aimed at realising the income potential of the building. This latter was based on the employment of staff to support and market Cliff House as a venue for weddings, corporate events and private parties combined with the refurbishment of the interior and exterior of the building to underpin the marketing effort.

CLIFF HOUSE TRUST LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The aim of the charitable company continues to be the provision and maintenance of Cliff House, recognised as an iconic building in Salcombe of historic and architectural merit, as a multifunctional facility for use by the inhabitants of Salcombe and its visitors. To achieve this the company raises income from rents from its tenants, including the Salcombe Yacht Club, the Town Council offices, the Library, the residential tenant occupying the second floor and various other lettings. However this rental income, particularly from the Yacht Club which is calculated according to a formula included in the 99 year lease commencing in 1994, does not cover the day-today running costs of this large building. Income is augmented mainly by the hosting of wedding parties, private parties and a range of fundraising events. Charitable donations are also gratefully received.

The Trust keeps the operating model under review to be able to respond to changes in demands in the wedding and entertainment event market, as well as the current economic challenges. Wedding bookings for the 2025 season increased relative to 2024, largely due to the unpaid efforts of a previous Trustee who stepped down at the end of 2024 FY. In order to ensure that these bookings were adequately managed, and to market and administer new bookings for 2026 the Trustees sought the assistance of an experienced weddings organiser appointed in November 2024 on a self-employed basis. Wedding bookings for 2026 are currently at a similar level to 2025. reinforcing Cliff House as a popular wedding venue.

Although the Trust has been able to carry out internal redecoration and some external works to help meet customers’ expectations, as well as preserving the building’s visual amenity, upper parts of the building façade are fast deteriorating, and the Trust does not have the funds to repair and maintain them. As reported previously, the roof structure is deteriorating, with serious water ingress in several places particularly during last autumn’s storms. The Trust was able to employ specialist roof access contractors to investigate and carry out repairs earlier this year, but their report confirms that the roof is in need of comprehensive renewal.

Thanks go to past and present staff and Trustees for their superb efforts and work, during an increasingly challenging period, in supporting Cliff House.

CLIFF HOUSE TRUST LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Financial review

a. Going concern

As a result of the accumulating losses, the increasing burden of dilapidations and following external professional advice, the Trustees have concluded that the most appropriate long-term strategy is to progress towards the sale or transfer of the building, with the orderly wind-up of the Trust anticipated by the end of 2027. The Trustees are satisfied that the Trust has adequate resources to continue its operations during this transitional period and therefore consider the going-concern basis of preparation to remain appropriate.

No adjustment has been made to the presentation of the financial statements to reflect this as it is deemed that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis, and not recategorising items that are currently disclosed as fixed assets and creditors: amounts falling due after one year, remains the most appropriate form of presentation. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

There is currently no formal reserves policy in place for the charitable company, but the Trustees are mindful of the need to ensure that sufficient resources are held at any one time to enable its obligations to third parties to be met, and to this end regularly update their cash flow forecasts.

At the balance sheet date unrestricted net assets of the charitable company amounted to £4,621 (2024 - £7,837) and net current assets were £2,009 (2024 - £9,710).

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The charity is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 25 August 2011.

The charitable company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 25 August 2011 and is a registered charity number 1146359.

The principal object of the charitable company is to provide community facilities in Salcombe to advance education, social welfare and leisure activities in the locality. With effect from 1 September 2011 the charitable company inherited the assets, liabilities and activities previously carried on within an unincorporated charity, Cliff House Trust, which was registered with the Charity Commission under number 202003.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. Trustees are drawn from the local community. Prospective new trustees are recommended by existing trustees and their merits are discussed by the board.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The trustees meet formally on a monthly basis to discuss the affairs of the charity, review financial information and to plan the forthcoming period.

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors 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 under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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:

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

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  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

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 accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

CLIFF HOUSE TRUST LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Cliff House 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.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling and are rounded to the nearest £1.

1.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result of the accumulating losses, the increasing burden of dilapidations and following external professional advice, the Trustees have concluded that the most appropriate long-term strategy is to progress towards the sale or transfer of the building, with the orderly wind-up of the Trust anticipated by the end of 2027. The Trustees are satisfied that the Trust has adequate resources to continue its operations during this transitional period and therefore consider the going concern basis of preparation to remain appropriate.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property - 2% on cost of building improvements
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on a reducing balance basis
Audio visual equipment - 20% on a reducing balance basis

1.6 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

1.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.9 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

1.10 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.

1.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
