**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 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 Society works to preserve and enhance the buildings, landscape and coastline of Suffolk. It continues to pursue this key aim by making professional informed representations on planning applications arising anywhere in the county where, in the opinion of the Society's professionally qualified planning officers, those developments would harm the interests the Society seeks to protect. This work is critical in preserving the best of the county's common inheritance for the benefit of all.
## **Review of activities**
SPS has had a good year with increased outputs, impacts and successes, all underlined by a 10% increase in membership. We thank all our members, new and old, for supporting us in our very important work. Our members give us our mandate, help us to raise crucial income, but more importantly help us to raise our voice and increase our effectiveness. The last twelve months has seen a continued growth in major development across Suffolk; SPS planners have been heavily engaged with this. However, we have also widened the scope of our work with a number of exciting new initiatives.
2022 saw a full calendar of training, lectures and social events and we have been lucky enough to secure access to some of the county's most exclusive and beautiful locations including Tendring Hall and Sibton Park.
## **Routine planning activities**
Through our sustained campaigning work, we have seen some real successes this year in the proposed changes to the Levelling Up Bill. This sees a major planning breakthrough with the scrapping of housing targets which have so often meant damaging development in Suffolk because of top-down targets, disempowering planning authorities and disenfranchising local communities. Other important breakthroughs include a major shift in government policy to prioritise the development on brownfield (previously developed) land over greenfield.
The Society's position remains that the scale and complexity of each of these very large applications has the potential to overwhelm the finite resources of the charity. Accordingly, the trustees have agreed that the Society would provide support, as far as capacity allows, in terms of signposting special interest groups to appropriate specialist expertise, and offering input on their evidence, using our own in-house expertise. The Society has concluded that to fight all of these energy applications 'all the way' would prevent it from discharging its duties to the rest of the county where many other pressing applications arose during the year.
Our work with communities in Suffolk has recently developed to include exciting project work. In 2022 we were successful in a second round of funding from CPRE, to reinstate/restore hedgerows in the Dedham Vale AONB as part of the Hedgerow Heroes campaign. SPS has been pleased to work with the Dedham Vale Farmer Cluster to provide vital funding for this important restoration work.
We have continued to respond to sensitive planning applications affecting protected landscapes, listed buildings and other sensitive locations across Suffolk. In 2022 we responded to 57 planning applications and 15 local and national planning consultations affecting our countryside and built heritage including 12 responses to consultations on energy Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects. Of the planning applications that have been determined, the views expressed by the SPS have to a greater or lesser extent been successfully reflected in 69% of the decisions. We consider this to be a good outcome and, in addition to this, SPS has continued to provide planning advice to many individuals and communities to help them understand and respond to planning issues that affect them.
We are proud that we have been able to work with and offer support to a number of single-issue campaign groups in Suffolk. In particular, we are pleased to have supported the Say No to Sunnica group campaigning against Sunnica, a solar factory in West Suffolk and East Cambridgeshire.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Routine planning activities (continued)**
We have also worked closely with a community group known as CARE Suffolk who are fighting for the best outcomes from 3 solar farms in and around Bramford. We have continued to support the work of SASES and SEAS, who have campaigned tirelessly against the selection of Friston for an energy hub near the east coast. We have supported their work by writing to MPs and ministers at crucial points in their campaign.
Finally, we have been pleased to work alongside the Coalition of Amenity Groups in the East of England, who are pushing local MPs to resist the proposed pylon lines by National Grid. Together we are standing up for Suffolk, holding our local representatives to account, pushing back on damaging schemes and demanding that affected communities' voices are heard.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commissioners' General Guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in formulating future plans.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
In early 2025 the trustees were alerted to a serious situation involving the Society's financial position that came to light and materially impacted each of the Financial Years 2021 to 2024. In particular it transpired that during the period that COVID 19 restrictions were in place, and continuing thereafter, significant sums have been diverted from the Society without authorization, including numerous payments out of the Society's bank account. The total amount is in excess of £123K in respect of the four years 2021 to 2024, with other years also impacted.
The matter was immediately reported to the Police, and investigations continue with the involvement of specialist anti-fraud officers. An employee of the Society was suspended and subsequently dismissed. The Charity Commission was promptly informed, and we have been in regular contact since then. The Commission has acknowledged that the matter is being addressed appropriately.
As well as the financial loss, the impact on the Society's administration has been considerable, including the loss or destruction of almost all of the financial records. The financial data and materials put before the trustees were not authentic and, contrary to the trustees' understanding and belief, had not been independently examined. In consequence, it has been necessary to reconstruct Annual Accounts for the years 2021 to 2024 relying exclusively on copy bank statements and other external sources. At bottom, while in this report the trustees are confident that the Society's total income and expenditure are correct; the constituent elements have been assessed to the best of our ability on what we have available.
In the twelve months to December 2022 the Society's total revenues amounted to £162,368 (including legacies and donations amounting to £23,150), while total expenditure was £206,284, resulting in a gross deficit of £43,916 and a net deficit of £89,026 (after investment losses of £45,110). Total expenditure includes unauthorized spending during the year of £31,316 (in the circumstances outlined in the Financial Review).
Total funds carried forward amounted to £520,024 at the year end.
## **Investment policy**
CCLA continue to advise the Society, based on a moderate risk strategy which resulted in a steady increase in fund into the third quarter of the year.
## **Reserves policy**
The Society will continue to husband its reserves with caution, and the importance of these reserves has become increasingly clear as the financial impacts of the pandemic continue to bite.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The key objective of the Society during the continuing adverse phases of the pandemic must be to control its finances wisely and to control its costs where it can whilst focussing energy of staff and trustees on sustaining the valuable planning work output of the team. If the Society can do this it will be fulfilling its charitable objects and striving to protect and enhance the natural and man-made beauty of the whole of Suffolk.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document based on the "associated" model Charitable Incorporated Organization constitution published by the Charity Commission, adopted on 25 November 2013. The Charity's constitution was updated during 2021 and adopted on 5 November 2021.
The Charity commenced its undertaking as a Charitable Incorporated Organization (CIO) number 1154806 on 1 January 2014 having taken over the liabilities and assets of the previous charity number 249981.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The Society is a registered charity and is supported by a number of Trustees who constitute the Board. New Trustees are nominated by the Board drawing on their experience and, subject to approval are co-opted on to the Board of the Society. They will become full Trustees by confirmation of their status by a vote at the following AGM together with being a full member of the CIO. On becoming a Trustee, the candidate is given a welcome package including details of meetings, the organization of the Society and duties and obligations of being a Trustee, as identified in Charity Commission guidance
Sir Guy Quilter and Karl Debenham were appointed as trustees by members at the AGM on 10 June 2022. Longstanding trustee Rev. Tony Redman retired.
## **Organizational structure**
The Board is supported by a paid Director, who is both a qualified Planning Officer and a Conservation Officer, a Planning Officer and an Office Manager, all of whom are part time. The Chairman and Director are available to answer any questions the Trustees may have.
## **Decision making**
The Trustees comprise the Board which sets policy and strategy and has an overriding duty to ensure the Society acts within its remit and manages its assets wisely and prudently.
## **Relationship with other Charities and with Related Parties**
The Society acts as the Suffolk representative of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) to whom CPRE members pay their subscriptions direct at rates determined from time to time by the CPRE. The CPRE determines the share of each individual subscription which the Society is entitled to receive back in respect of its numbers. For the year to 31 December 2022 the Society received 50% of the total subscriptions paid by its members direct to the CPRE.
The Society rents an office within Little Hall in Lavenham, in a building owned by the Suffolk Building Preservation Trust. A four year rental agreement is now into its third year.
## **GOING CONCERN**
The Trustees have given careful consideration to the question of ' going concern '. In the light of the financial information given in the report above, and excluding any speculative valuation on the legacy, the Trustees are of the opinion that it is appropriate to continue to prepare its accounts on the 'going concern basis' during the 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 8 December 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SUFFOLK PRESERVATION SOCIETY**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Suffolk Preservation Society ('the Charity')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement - matters of concern identified**
I have completed my examination.
In early 2025, the trustees became aware that suppliers to the Charity had not been paid. A full investigation was subsequently carried out, which revealed that a significant number of payments had been made without the trustees’ authorisation.
It is alleged that an employee was able to redirect supplier payments and other funds to their personal bank account, without the trustees’ knowledge.
Suffolk Police are currently investigating the matter.
Between 2021 and 2024, the trustees have identified misappropriated funds totalling £123,410. Of this, £30,011 relates to the financial year under review.
Furthermore, accurate accounting records had not been maintained since 2021. As a result, the trustees have had to reconstruct the financial records in order to prepare these accounts. I have reviewed the accounts against the underlying information reconstructed records; however, I have not conducted an audit, as this falls outside the scope of I engagement.
I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. except for the matter of concern noted above accounting records were not kept in in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.; and
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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
