**VICTORIA CROSS TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** 

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 2021. 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.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** 

During the period August 2020 to July 2021 we were able to complete the: 

- Construction of office space in our new premises 

- Cleaning of 5 VC related graves 

- Design and production of VCT branded retail items 

- Development of veteran volunteer network 

- Identification of proposed VC grave clean locations 

- Consolidation of social media presence across the internet, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn 

- Preparation of grant funding bid to pump-prime our 2021/2022 Maintaining the Memories project 

This focus on business planning took precedence in order to ensure that in the long term the VCT became self-sustaining financially. 

The start of the 2020/21 financial year threw up a number of challenges for us to overcome if we were to be successful in achieving our aspirations of becoming self-sustaining whilst delivering our core charitable aims. These included: 

1. Our new premises at Armthorpe provided us with a base from which we could attend grave locations, produce retail products and plan for up-and-coming events for the 2020/2021 season. These did not however provide us with a year-round public facing location at which to maximise education and retail opportunities. 

2. Our social media and web presence was not cohesive and ad-hoc requiring further coordination of resources to ensure that consistent messaging was promoting the VCT. This would encourage new opportunities to clean, generate income and educate the public in the history behind the VC whilst also potentially attracting new volunteers with new skills with which to support us. This consistency and corporate branding was not in place. 

3. Our financial position was heavily reliant on reserves generated through the sale of assets as a result of the closure of the Ashworth Barracks Museum and whilst donations were picking up and online sales were increasing these alone would sustain us beyond 2021. New forms of income generation needed to be identified. 

4. Our workforce of veterans was ageing and reliance on them to continue to deliver our objectives was placing a strain on their resilience. We needed to provide greater resilience and generate a stronger volunteer presence at the VCT. 

The trustees formulated a business plan to focus activity in three primary areas of activity. This included: 

1. Cleaning and restoration of VC graves 

2. Development of retail opportunities to generate income 

3. Development of events to promote education and retail 

4. Support veterans and volunteers by providing opportunities to work with us 

In September 2020 the trustees formulated a proposal for funding to enable the VCT to pump prime our restoration, retail, events, and veteran volunteer network. This project entitled Maintaining the Memories was submitted for consideration to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund (AFCF) positive pathways programme. This laid out how we would continue to extend our grave cleaning, develop our retail and brand, attend, and run events to generate more support and income and provide veterans with an opportunity (positive pathway) to support us in our work. 

In February 2021 we were informed that our proposal had been approved and that we would receive the maximum grant to implement our proposal from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022. The VCT was immediately able to: 

- Complete 10 grave cleans and 15 inspections 

- Develop our VCT brand and a range of products to sell online and at events 

- Attend 10 events at which we were able to sell our retail products and educate the public in the VC 

- Consolidate our internet and social media presence to maximise our public face

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The outcomes for Maintaining the Memories in the period March to July 2021 saw a significant increase in income generated from events through retail and donations that indicated to us that we could replenish reserves through our work in this area of the business plan but not to the point of self-sustainability. We therefore explored an opportunity to create a memorial event with retail stalls at a popular retail outlet at Lakeside Doncaster. Such was the success at this event that we were invited in July 2021 to repeat it and were offered a rent-free presence in our own shop that we could take up from October to December 2021. The end of the 2020/21 financial year therefore saw the VCT business plan bearing fruit and moving us in the right direction in terms of maximising our objectives and charitable aims. The impact of our business plan is evident within our reported accounts which sees a significant reduction in reported loss compared to previous years. 

The year 2021/22 was clearly laid out with opportunities for us to maximise our financial strategy enabling us to continue at least in the medium term to clean and restore VC graves and educate the public whilst providing welfare support to veterans. 

## **Volunteers** 

The Trust has been very fortunate to have benefitted from the contributions of dedicated volunteers, without whom the cost of grave restoration and running the museum would be significantly higher. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

**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 2021. 

## **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.
