## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 5 April 2021** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

During the period to 5 April 2021, the charity received income of £38,238 (2020: £50,496) from its investment portfolio and investment property as detailed in note 2 to the accounts. 

After allowing for the costs of administering the charity, the trustees made charitable grants in accordance with the terms of its constitution of £21,000 (2020: £14,500) from the income fund as detailed in notes 3 and 7 to the accounts. The charity donated charitable funds to 13 Charities, totalling £21,000 namely: The British Red Cross, Second Chance, WWT, The Longford Scholars, Surfers Against Sewage, Kew, Free Mind, The Light Dragoons, Home-Start, Conservation Zambezi, GWCT, Conservation South Luangwa and The RNLI. 

Feedback from the smaller listed Charities confirms their appreciation for the regular nature of the BECT donations over a number of years, which adds significant security to their operations. 

As the charity at present is in its early stages, the trustees do not consider it necessary to retain by way of ongoing reserves any of its income funds. However, the position will be reviewed at regular intervals to consider whether an amendment to this policy would be appropriate. Reserves at the year end totalled £3,204,280 (2020: £3,055,451). 

At the balance sheet date, the charity held considerable investments amounting to £893,521 (2020: £887,284) which have been retained before being applied for the charity's main purpose. 

Having concluded the part funded 3-year PhD research programme into tidal energy with Bournemouth University - there has been one more related project, namely construction of an airborne virus filter for air conditioner systems such as those installed on cruise ships. Because COVID -19 seriously hampered the operation of the engineering department at Bournemouth University, progress is still in its infancy. It is hoped the situation will improve next year. 

Internally, The Charity has been much involved with its new Eco Centre acquisition - whereby development works are ongoing. Wilding up the margins of the property to include planting suitable food plants for the local butterflies was completed. Regular sightings and pictures of butterflies seen at the centre were submitted to the Dorset branch of Butterfly Conservation Charity. Investigations into hydrogen research and efficient power supplies are also ongoing. 

In collaboration with the Head of Conservation at the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT), BECT has funded the construction of a purpose-built wildfowl breeding enclosure at the Eco Centre which is now up and running and 9 Baer's Pochard were successfully reared this year, alongside 6 rare Red Breasted geese. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Going concern** 

The Trustees have reviewed the status of the Trust and concluded that based on the assets and reserves retained that the Trust will be able to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BALMAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION TRUST** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Balmain Environmental Conservation Trust** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Balmain Environmental Conservation Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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. 

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.

Balmain Environmental Conservation Trust is a charity which is a charitable incorporated organisation and is registered in England and Wales and with the Charity Commission. 

The principal places of business are Ashbrooke, West Bourton, Gillingham, Dorset SP8 5PF and 24 Potley Hill Road, Yateley, Hampshire, GU46 6AE. 

The charity is a public benefit entity. 

The financial statements cover only the charitable incorporated organisation. 

The presentation currency in these financial statements is pounds sterling. 

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; 

- the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d); 

- the requirements of  paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); 

- the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; 

- the requirement of paragraph 33.7. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided on the following in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Improvements to property - 10% on straight line basis 

Plant & machinery - 20% on reducing balance basis

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the year ended 5 April 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Fixtures & fittings - 20% on reducing balance basis 

## **Investment property** 

Investment property is shown at its most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in value including any impairment of the value of the investment property is transferred to Unrestricted Funds. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Research and development** 

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity enters into basic financial instruments that give rise to financial assets and financial liabilities including trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, bank account balances, bank loans and other loans and borrowings and investments in certain non puttable and non convertible equity instruments. 

Debt instruments which are not payable or receivable within one year are initially accounted for at the transaction price and are subsequently accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments payable and receivable within one year are measured at their undiscounted cash amounts. Where the debt instruments are treated as a financing transaction, then the financial asset or liability is measured at the present value of future cash flows based on a market rate of interest. Debt instruments which are treated as financial assets and accounted for at amortised cost are also assessed for impairment. 

Equity instruments are initially accounted for at transaction price. They are subsequently accounted for at cost unless they can be accounted for at fair value based on a readily available market price or fair value. Equity instruments which are treated as financial assets and accounted for at cost are also assessed for impairment. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have made their own assessment of going concern and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
