## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Victoria Cross is the highest military honour of the United Kingdom honours system. It is awarded for gallantry and valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of the British and Commonwealth servicemen and women. To date 1363 Victoria Crosses have been awarded since its creation in 1856.
Across the United Kingdom and the rest of the world, there are a large number of private graves and memorials to those awarded the Victoria Cross. A small number of these graves are cared for by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission because their remit only covers Victoria Cross recipients killed in action during either of the world wars.
All graves of Victoria Cross recipients who fought and died outside dates of these two conflicts are privately owned. A small number of these again are still cared for by their family, the rest lie forgotten, neglected and in some cases are now lost forever.
The Victoria Cross Trust (VCT) seeks to ensure that the final resting places of the Victoria Cross recipients remain tended and cared for respecting the wishes of families and communities alike. In addition, the charity also aims to educate the public in the stories behind the VC recipients and it is to fulfil these two objectives that the VCT was originally established in 2012.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Significant activities**
Although still occupying the Ashworth Barracks museum in Doncaster as the main Headquarters, by the 1st August 2019 the VCT was operating under a completely new management structure with trustees overseeing directly all financial management on a day to day basis. Visitor numbers to the museum began to increase alongside new proposals for VC grave cleaning. The grave cleaning activity was prioritised during this time in order to return the VCT to its main charitable aims.
New cost saving initiatives at the museum were introduced alongside the sale of surplus military vehicles and artifacts and as a result financial crisis was averted. Innovative approaches during the autumn of 2019 also ensured the Ashworth Barracks museum ceased to become a financial drain on the charity and began to fulfil its original purpose of educating the public. Visitor numbers were increased through active promotional strategies and school visits were encouraged. The staff and volunteers introduced new outreach programmes and the museum was used to host a number of specialized fund-raising events. These events were highly successful and enabled the VCT to forecast financial stability extending into the 2021/22 financial year.
Despite this radical change in management and a new transparent approach disappointingly Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council refused to support the efforts of the trustees and renew the lease on the site. The Council maintained the existing terms of the lease and demanded that the VCT vacate the Ashworth Barracks premises by June 2020. Despite numerous meetings with DMBC no alternative suitable premises were found in which to re-house the Ashworth Barracks museum. As a result of this position the VCT undertook a further review of its position in the autumn of 2019 in order to search for new opportunities. This led to the VCT seeking to identify partner organisations that had locations where artefacts and displays from the museum could be displayed on the VCT's behalf.
An unofficial partnership was formed early in 2020 with the Don Memorial War Museum based in Stockton-on-Tees. It became apparent that the objectives of the Don Memorial War Museum and those of the VCT were aligned and as a result the VCT established a number of specialist displays at this museum in order to continue with its objective of educating the public. The VCT also planned a small display at the National Emergency Museum based in Sheffield in order to further its educational ambition. From these locations the education of the public with regards to the history of the VC will continue with minimal costs to the VCT. The VCT will continue to retain ownership of artefacts and funds will be raised at these locations through the sale of retail merchandise. This position will allow the VCT to focus on grave cleaning as well as conducting local educational visits to schools and also presentations to targeted groups.
Having rehoused the main artifacts and displays the VCT had the additional challenge of finding new premises from which to locate its Head Office functions. After a detailed search of available premises the VCT secured a small industrial unit in Doncaster which was leased from March 2020. This resource will allow the VCT to grow the grave cleaning, restoration and retail activity. Once established in the new premises the VCT planned a number of fund-raising activities, including attendance at military rallys, the sale of VCT branded merchandise via a new website and the sale of VCT merchandise at the Don Memorial War Museum.
The plans for the VCT were severely interrupted by COVID 19 - rendering the team unable to undertake any grave cleaning and preventing attendance at fund raising events.This presented a significant challenge in its own right but also affected the VCT's ability to vacate the museum site and establish operations in the new premises. Despite the impact of COVID the VCT was able to clear the museum premises before lockdown was imposed in March 2020 which saw staff placed into furlough until June 2020.
The museum site was formally handed back to DMBC on 30th June 2020 with the charity taking up residence in the new Headquarters in Armthorpe Doncaster. The new accommodation enabled the VCT to introduce scaled down operations once lockdown began to ease. As an outside activity grave cleaning recommenced during the summer months and the trust was able to submit delayed accounts by the end of July 2020.
Graves Cleaned during the year: Pride VC (Bournemouth), Wyatt VC (Cadeby), (Straightened and cleaned) Lambert VC (Wardsend), Hughes VC, Edwards VC (Leeds), Costello VC (East Hadley, Kent)

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Victoria Cross Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements 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 period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 28 April 2021 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF VICTORIA CROSS TRUST**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Victoria Cross Trust ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2020.
## **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**
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
4. 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.
