Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31st December 2022

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 31st December 2022. 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 Trust is a registered charity whose principal object is to advance the education of the public by establishing an exhibition and interpretation centre, and to promote the Historic Landmarks of the town of King's Lynn to increase the Public's Knowledge and awareness of the town's history. The Trust also works to promote the town's Hanseatic connections, both historic and contemporary. The Trustees have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Achievement and performance

In 2022 following the end of COVID-19 restrictions the Trust reintroduced a programme of lectures and to engage the public in the town's history. The Trust continued to increase its online presence through social media engagement. This allowed the Trust to continue to meet its educational objectives.

Financial review

Financial position

In 2022 the Trust's Project Manager resumed her contracted hours. Maintenance and improvement works were commissioned which have been provided for in the accounts. In these circumstances the Trustees are satisfied with the results for the year.

Investment policy and objectives

The Trustees Investment policy is to maximise returns on the cash balances held, having due regard to risk.

Reserves policy

The charity defines its reserves as the value of those assets over and above those which are required for it to meet its current commitments and planned expenditure. Trustees aim to have sufficient reserves to enable the charity to meet its financial objectives for one year.

Future plans

The Trustees are engaged in organising further lectures and events during 2023/24 and in promoting the use of the premises for room hire and educational purposes. Grants opportunities to enable enhancement of the heritage exhibits continues to be explored. A partnership has been established with the Town Guides enabling more frequent use of the facilities linked to their programme of walks and tours. The Trust is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations with Borough Council for the renewal of their lease on the premises, which the trustees anticipate will enable a continuation of their activities in the building over the medium to long term.

Structure, governance and management

The Marriott's Warehouse Trust, a company limited by guarantee, was incorporated on 17 December 2012.

The Trustees are recruited and appointed by pro-active invitation and relevant skills and experiences are reviewed at this time. Induction and training is given when required.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Marriott's Warehouse Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Marriott's Warehouse Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2022.

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.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Improvements to property - 33% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% p.a. reducing balance
