OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES
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 closed from March 2020 to May 2021 yet the trustees continued to meet and prepare for the future. The organisation has been in receipt of government grants which have put the organisation on a firm financial footing. We were able to reopen the house, under COVID protocols, from June 2021 to the end of the financial year
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
4
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.
-
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.
Approved by the trustees on 2[nd] November, 2022

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
-
Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material examiner's matters have come to my attention in connection with the statement examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
