## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

|**Summary of the objects of the**<br>**charity set out in its**<br>**governing document**<br>**Summary of the main**<br>**activities undertaken for the**<br>**public benefit in relation to**<br>**these objects (include within**<br>**this section the statutory**<br>**declaration that trustees have**<br>**had regard to the guidance**<br>**issued by the Charity**<br>**Commission on public**<br>**benefit)**|To advance public education and particularly scientific learning and skills<br>development by the acquisition, restoration, preservation, exhibition and<br>operation of such British Railways steam locomotives, rolling stock,<br>equipment and artefacts, relics, documents and records of historic and<br>scientific interest as the trustees may from time to time decide.|
|---|---|
||In order to fulfil its objectives, the Trust seeks to maintain and operate<br>71000 Duke of Gloucester in a manner that emulates as closely as<br>possible the environment of its original working life, whilst taking into<br>account the demands and opportunities presented by operation in the<br>21st century. This requires an ongoing programme of periodic overhauls,<br>development and maintenance of the locomotive and its support coach to<br>ensure that they continue to meet the latest main line operating<br>standards. The operation of the locomotive hauling trains on both the<br>main line and heritage lines is fundamental to meeting the objectives so<br>that it can be experienced by the widest possible audience. An encounter<br>with No.71000 has the potential to ignite a lifelong interest in engineering,<br>technology, and transport and the potential to foster interest in these<br>subjects among young people.<br>The overhaul of the locomotive has continued through 2021, although<br>there was some continuing disruption due to the Coronavirus pandemic.<br>More recently the overhaul of the loco has again resumed, and the Trust<br>hopes to complete this late in 2022.<br>Although the activities of the Trust have been curtailed by the pandemic,<br>fundraising from members and other donations has been resilient.<br>To provide a public window on our activities, the Trust maintains an<br>active website to demonstrate the advances made on the loco.<br>Information is also regularly made available to interested members of the<br>public through magazines and periodicals, specifically targeting heritage<br>railways.  Like most organisations, our face-to-face contact with the<br>public has been severely limited in 2021 as a result of the Coronavirus<br>pandemic.<br>The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on<br>public benefit.|



## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

Throughout 2021 the overhaul of the locomotive (71000 Duke of Gloucester) progressed in accordance with the objectives and educational activities of the trust.  Most of the work is undertaken by the professional engineers of Tyseley Locomotive Works, although the Trust has two Working Parties per month when associate members work on the loco.  As stated in the summary above, work on the loco has been disrupted by the pandemic, but nevertheless good progress has been made.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

The work of the trust has continued despite the challenges of the **Summary of the main** pandemic during the year.  The Trustees and Management Committee **achievements of the charity** met monthly (via video conferencing) and regular communications were **during the year** maintained with all associate members (either electronically or by post). The finances of the trust continued to operate on a sound basis through previously established bank accounts (an operating account and a membership account), plus Stripe and PayPal accounts for on-line payments. During the year, the number of associate members supporting the trust increased from 400 to 441. Our regular communications with associate members continued through the year, with high readership and complementary feedback from members. 

Sadly, there were no opportunities to attend public events in 2021, due to various pandemic restrictions, however as stated elsewhere, interested members of the public have been kept informed via articles in relevant magazines, the Trust’s website and social media platforms.

|**Brief statement of the**<br>**charity’s policy on reserves**<br>**Details of any funds materially**<br>**in deficit**<br>**Further financial review details**<br>You**may choose**to include<br>additional information, where<br>relevant about:<br>•<br>the charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising);<br>•<br>how expenditure has<br>supported the key objectives<br>of the charity;<br>•<br>investment policy and<br>objectives including any<br>ethical investment policy<br>adopted.||
||During the year the trust maintained a tight control over its cashflow and<br>projected expenditure especially on the overhaul of the locomotive.  The<br>Trust spent £102,236 on the locomotive, but also maintained a healthy<br>cash balance through the year, with a balance of £175,779 on<br>31 December 2021.<br>The trust will continue to maintain limited reserves to ensure that it can<br>fund any emergency or short-term expenses.  The size of such reserves<br>will be reviewed from time to time and will be commensurate with the<br>risks that the trust is proactively managing.|
||The trust has no funds in deficit.|
||**(Optional information)**|
||The trust’s primary continuing source of income is associate membership<br>donations (primarily by monthly payment).  In 2021 the Trust’s income<br>from associate members and members of the public was £126,416.  The<br>Trust also undertakes limited sales of merchandise; during the period of<br>this report those sales totalled £2,206, which represented just under<br>1.5% of its income.<br>The bulk of expenditure in 2021 was on the locomotive overhaul and<br>insurance, which comprised 69.0% of expenditure.<br>The Trustees are acutely aware of the financial risks and review the cash<br>flow at least monthly.|
