## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charitable Company's  Articles of Association , the  Companies Act 2006 and “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 2015)” . 

## **Objectives and activities** 

Marygate House Holy Island aims to enable groups of people or individuals to come to Holy Island and carry out a religious, educational or cultural programme. It is also part of its remit to assist those members of staff who usually remain within the Charitable Company for up to one year and to discern where their future career path lies and to help enable them to try and achieve that goal. 

Visitors are provided with full board and whatever assistance with their programme that may be required. It is not the purpose of the  Charitable  C ompany to provide accommodation for seaside holidays and great care is taken to explain this to potential visitors. 

Marygate House Holy Island owns one large building, Marygate House, and its adjoining cottage known as Elemore Cottage. 

The  Charitable  C ompany makes no charge for the use of facilities or for staying at any of the properties, making it available for all, regardless of their financial situation. The  Charitable  C ompany relies solely on voluntary donations from guests and others to cover costs and running expenses. 

It is normal for Marygate House to be used by individuals and groups up to its capacity of 18 people. 

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charitable Company should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Preparations for 2020 went well and measures were put in place to address the previous years financial shortfall and we started the year with a full diary and high hopes for a successful year.  However, the Corona Virus Pandemic with social distancing and lock downs derailed those plans, we had to adapt to a fastdeveloping precarious situation.  Careful and near constant cashflow analysis assisted the Trust to be in the best situation to be in the strongest possible position to get through the crisis, bounce back and to move forward into the future. 

During September 2020 we were open under strict social distancing arrangements due to national restrictions.  This period of opening for individuals only helped us to realize how much revenue we receive running under such a mode.  Also helped us to understand how to re-open in 2021 and therefore to prepare for it.  Further, we observed a perceptible peaceful and prayerful ambiance in the house. 

During the initial lockdown, the Holy Island Support Group ran a not-for-profit shop from Marygate.  This proved a popular community-based initiative. Further, there have been other community initiatives run out of the house supported by the ‘Warm-Hub’ charity, such as provision of mobility aids to the elderly and housebound.  These activities have buoyed up the island community during a difficult and isolating period and foster good relations between Marygate and the resident island community. 

The Trustees set up a team to research and apply for additional revenue and capital funding.  Further ensuring we maximized income from government and other funding schemes. 

Remaining after the pandemic this team will help resource Marygate into the future. 

Being closed for much of 2020 and part of 2021 has given us a good opportunity to review every aspect of the Trust’s operations, keeping what was positive, change or drop what was not helpful and consider and apply new initiatives and directives.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

## **Financial review** 

It is the policy of the Charitable Company that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charitable Company’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The  C haritable  C ompany is non-profit making. There is no fixed charge for accommodation of guests.  Income is derived from donations and covenants, with a small amount from the sale of pamphlets. The  T rustees acknowledge the generosity of those who stay, resulting in healthy bank balances.  The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances which the  T rustees consider to be satisfactory. The  T rustees have reviewed the reserves of the  C haritable  C ompany, in the light of the nature of the income and expenditure streams and consider them enough to meet current and future requirements. 

The Trustees has assessed the major risks to which the Charitable Company is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Risk Review** 

The Charitable Company has conducted a review of risks and procedures  implementing changes in a timely fashion. At present we can perceive two primary threats both pandemic related.  During the pandemic with it’s associated social distancing and lock downs there is a drain on our resources exceeding our income.  Should this position be long lasting we may need to consider laying off paid staff, closing until better times.  Also, societal habits may change in the new normal and this may affect Marygate prospects in a positive or negative way.  So, the Trustees have adopted a proactive attitude. 

## **Plans for the future** 

Firstly, we will continue to welcome our current client base, but in addition we will extend our principal focus becoming a Centre for Peace and Reconciliation.  The House, or how it runs, will not change demonstrably rather it will promote itself in this light.  If there is anything the world or people need, it is peace.  We will continue to welcome people to enjoy the natural peace of the island, advertising that Marygate and the Island are fantastic places to find and grow inner peace and spirituality. Further, it is a great place to retreat from the world which bruises you.  A place to come when you need to be reconciled or receive healing.  We will run and resource events to promote reconciliation, resourcing others to help address division.  We will make our facilities available for dialogue facilitation and mediation, encouraging, enabling, and empowering Reconciliation. 

Secondly, to enable this and to encourage more general retreatants we need to make improvements to the fabric of the building.  Especially in regard to reducing overheads and becoming more environmental.  We are making a concerted effort to secure grants to cover these capital costs, which will enable us to be the foremost retreat house in the North East on England and a place of excellence with regards Peace and Reconciliation. 

The Trust remains committed to offering guests the best experience of retreat possible while continuing to maintain the practice of receiving donations. The Trust is also committed to offering facilities for retreat in continuity with the past, while also exploring new opportunities. 

We feel that measures that were put in place to reverse the losses made in the previous two years put the house in a strong position moving forward. Which together with some financial assets and few liabilities have placed Marygate in a good position to weather the current situation. 

## **Staffing** 

In addition to the two wardens we now employ a part-time general assistant who resides on the island.   At present we are not pursuing voluntary helpers, however when the pandemic has past, we will be proactive in this regard as volunteers have brought so much to our organization and it is very much part of our remit.

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees, who are also the directors of Marygate House Holy Island for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charitable Company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these accounts, 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 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF MARYGATE HOUSE HOLY ISLAND** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Marygate House Holy Island (the Charitable Company) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

As the Trustees of the Charitable Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charitable 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 Charitable Company’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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 that in any material respect:

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the  financial statements 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 

- 4 the financial statements 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).

## **MARYGATE HOUSE HOLY ISLAND** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Marygate House Holy Island is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Marygate House, Holy Island, Berwick upon Tweed, TD15 2SD. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charitable Company's governing document,  the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The Charitable Company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The Charitable Company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  Charitable Company .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  Trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements . 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the Charitable Company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charitable Company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Grants receivable are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in full in the year which they become receivable, that is when the conditions for receipt have been met. 

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Resources expended are allocated to direct charitable expenditure, costs of generating funds and governance costs under the appropriate headings. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Land and buildings Nil Property improvements 10% Straight Line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% Straight Line 

Although Accounting Standards require the annual depreciation of fixed assets, there is no provision in the financial statements for depreciation of Freehold land and buildings. The buildings are maintained to a high standard to prevent deterioration. The estimated residual value of the buildings are, at current prices, not less than their book value. The Trustees therefore believe that the policy of not providing depreciation is necessary for the accounts to give a true and fair view. The freehold property is held on furtherance of the Charitable Company's objectives and not as an investment. 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  Charitable Company  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ). 

## **1.8 Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and  estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell . Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the  stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The  Charitable Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the  Charitable Company 's  balance sheet  when the  Charitable Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the  Charitable Company ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the  Charitable Company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.12 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the Charitable Company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
