No remuneration was paid to any of the trustees during the year. The charity is administered and managed by a Management Committee, comprised of the trustees listed on page 2 and other non-trustee members. ## **OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES** 3 The objects of the Charity are specifically restricted to the following: to preserve for the benefit of the people of Bridgend County Borough and of the Nation, the historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in and around St John’s House in buildings (including any structure or erection, and any part of a building as so defined) of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest. and The provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom they are intended. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE** Due to the COVID pandemic the house was open for the first few months of the year but has remained closed since March 2020. The trustees have continued to meet and prepare for the future. The organisation has been in receipt of government grants which has put the organisation on a firm financial footing. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. As stated elsewhere in this report, the charity’s charitable activity work is clear evidence of both the identifiable benefit provided and the relation of this benefit to the charity’s aims. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** The trustees continually examine the principal areas of the charity’s operations and regularly consider any major risks that may arise in each of these areas. The risk management policy is currently undergoing review - which will lead to an update of the procedures for managing major risks. ## **Reserves Policy** The trustees are aware of the need to accumulate sufficient reserves such that the charity can continue in operation should there be an unexpected drop in funding. It is the policy of the charity to hold reserves representing around six months total running costs, which gives an approximate target of £500. ## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 4 - State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the governing documents. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
