BALMAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 5 April 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
During the period to 5 April 2022, the charity received income of £31,990 (2021: £38,238) 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 £12,000 (2021: £21,000) from the income fund as detailed in notes 3 and 7 to the accounts. The charity donated charitable funds to 9 Charities, totalling £12,000 namely: Second Chance, Free Mind, The British Red Cross, Surfers Against Sewage, Kew, Conservation Zambezi, The Longford Scholars, The Trussell Trust, Help for Heroes.
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 £3,172,165 (2021: £3,204,280).
At the balance sheet date, the charity held considerable investments amounting to £739,494 (2021: £893,521) which have been retained before being applied for the charity's main purpose.
Bournemouth University. BECT continues research collaboration with. Professor Ben Thomas, Senior Academic in Sustainable Design at the Faculty of Science And Technology. Ben put the BECT ideas as an option to the final year project students on Mechanical Engineering and Design Engineering which would involve the student completing a 9 month long design project to come up with a concept design that will meet the criteria. One student , Sam Webb , has taken up our project " Hydropower using Offshore Windfarm Infrastructure". The idea is to harness the tidal power in the legs of offshore wind turbines. The project is in it's infancy . Sam is due to hand in his feasibility study by the New Year.
Work continues to develop the Eco Centre at Ashbrooke. Planting continues of the food plants of selected Butterflies and Moths. Many sightings of butterflies, moths and caterpillars are submitted to the Dorset branch of Butterfly Conservation. One notable sighting in October was of a Merveille du Jour moth which only flies September - October and is nocturnal. Very few people have seen one although they could not be described as rare.
The breeding of the critically endangered Baer's Pochard was again successful. BECT now has 15 birds. The plan to distribute them to other breeders to expand the national population has been put on hold because of Avian Flu movement restrictions. We must hope that these will be lifted in the summer.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going concern

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 2022.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 5 April 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
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.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the accounting policies, which are described below, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the year ended 5 April 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
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
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.
