Trustees (who are also directors of the company under company law) may be elected at any General Meeting of the Charity which has at least a quorum of 3 Trustees.
Risk Management
The Trustees consider risk management on an on-going basis and systems are in place to identify and mitigate the major risks to which the charity may be exposed.
Aims:
The aims of the charity are to 'To preserve for the nation, Ingestre Orangery, and to carry on there, activities which sustain the preservation of the building and support and enhance the education, health, wellbeing of the community and understanding of the Heritage asset.'
Achievement and Performance:
This past year has seen Ingestre Orangery continue to make positive strides in meeting its charitable objectives.

Staffing has had some changes in personnel and changes in roles. Communications have been taken in-house.
Measures have been made to make the operations more agile, restructuring of the operations for the sustainability of the existing business as well as focusing on generating new business. This has focused on the Orangery as a venue for weddings, entertainment, and events. Volunteer opportunities have been expanded.
Preservation of the building and surrounding grounds:
The building has been maintained and this is a continuous monitoring and action plan. A contractor will be assigned to look after the maintenance of the building.
There have been signs of wear and tear which have been identified and actions put in place to repair. Heavy rain caused some issues , causing leaks through the roof due to blockages in the internal drainage system. Works have been put in placed to rectify this.
Heating issues were further dealt with. The system is running adequately, and this will be continually monitored and maintained.
Investments in furniture to enable us to offer a better weddings and celebrations package have been made so that this arm of the business can be self sufficient and rely less on outside suppliers which will help with the revenue return.
Investment in The Lounge is being made, a bar/café in the new-build area, with a relaxed seating area. Estimated opening is August 2025.
Despite ongoing challenges in volunteer capacity and numbers we have continued to maintain the grounds to a high standard, consolidated interest from existing volunteers and one Trustee in particular supports volunteer management and recruitment.
The Gardens are being suitably maintained and are excellent condition thanks to the Garden team who are made up of mainly Volunteers, with the help of a gardener partly paid for by HS2.
The general appearance of the Orangery and Gardens has been improved dramatically and it now stands as a sophisticated venue.
A garden Maintenance plan, commissioned to help the maintenance strategy stay in line with being a Historic Garden is being considered.
Education & Access to Ingestre Orangery's Heritage
Volunteers/Trustees continue to create and deliver guided walks for visiting groups and individuals.
Ingestre Hall continues with its commitment to delivering art activities at the Orangery for resident school groups of the Hall.

Regular and active programmes of subsidised community event hire were firmly established - well-being, arts, music and crafts, hobbies, residents meetings and special interest activities and groups.
Trustees and staff established opportunities and procedures for increasing income to support charitable objectives.
Structured public access has been provided throughout the year via open days and through ad hoc public visits when staff have been on site. This have included events such as the craft fairs and family fun day. The gardens are fully accessible to the public (unless in use by a community or commercial hirer), 7 days a week between 9am and 4pm.
Digital Access:
The review and subsequent redevelopment of the Orangery digital continues to show significant growth in number of viewers and audiences accessing the Orangery content across all social media platforms reaching new audiences. The Website has been redone to improve and streamline the look and continues to show case the history of the Orangery, community events, volunteer opportunities and the availability to hire for a variety of purposes including weddings and parties. Digital output includes a variety of social media platforms.
The future
The Trustees are aware of risks, and we have a good core group that are able to manage those risks.
The wedding and celebration (parties etc.) business is financially our biggest security and we have restructured the charging and services that are offered to generate more income but also remain competitive and accessible. There will be a need for further investment in facilities and staff to manage these events going forward. With this solid financial platform, and continued investment we should be able to further secure the future of the orangery for the future.
There are no related party transactions or conflicts of interest. There are no serious incidents or other matters that Trustees should have reported to the Commission but have not done so.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
The Trustees' Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees' Annual Report under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. The trustees of the charity are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the charity's constitution are known as members of the board of trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
The trustees, who are also directors of Friends of Ingestre Orangery for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees as the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" Section 1A (Small Entities). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with. 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.

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Friends of Ingestre Orangery Charitable Company (‘the Company’)
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30th June 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s Trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity’s accounts as 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
Since the Company’s gross income did not exceed £250,000 your examiner does not need to be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. However, I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination of larger charities because I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

The notes on pages 13 to 18 form part of the financial statements
1.GENERAL INFORMATION
Friends of Ingestre Orangery is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office of the charity is Ingestre Orangery, Ingestre, Stafford, Staffordshire, ST18 0RF, United Kingdom which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.
-
General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
-
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.

Page 13 of 18
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
- Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as income.
-Time based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.
In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.

Page 14 of 18
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
Long leasehold property - Over life of leasehold
Plant and machinery - 20% Straight line
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% Straight line
Catering and office equipment - 33% Straight line
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
Taxation and deferred taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption. Irrecoverable valued added tax is expensed as incurred.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the charity's taxable income and its results as stated in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
