DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 July 2022
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual Trustees’ Report for the year to 31 July 2022 which is also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ Report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 2015).
Chair’s report
Storey’s Field Centre is a community facility in the heart of Eddington which acts as an arts centre, events and music venue, meeting place and community hub.
The Centre serves as a venue for the whole community with parent and toddler sessions; free coffee mornings; arts and crafts; exercise, yoga and wellbeing classes; and after-school activities including language learning and artistic endeavour. It hosts wedding receptions of different denominations, wakes and other family and celebratory parties, corporate meetings and seminars. It promotes a range of arts events including rock and pop gigs, classical performances, comedy, dance and drama. The Centre is an active participant in the Eddington-wide food and drink, art and cycling-themed festivals.
From March 2020 to February 2022 the Centre was either closed to the public or offering a limited programme of events fully in line with the relevant and changing Government Covid-19 guidelines. A Covid Secure Risk Assessment for the Centre was put in place on its re-opening and communicated to all hirers. The Centre team worked with, amongst others, the Eddington Residents’ Association to present a programme of community events such as cinema film screenings. For some distanced seated comedy and choir concert events, a table service with contactless ordering and payment system was put in place.
On re-opening there were several months where a sense of nervousness persisted amongst the public with some wedding parties cancelled or rescheduled. Commercial bookings have not yet fully returned whilst a new hybrid way of meeting – partly in person, partly online – has become a normal way of business. The beautiful acoustics of the Centre’s Main Hall continues to attract amateur choirs, orchestras, and community and student musical ensembles to rehearse at the Centre. The Centre has become a sought-after space for holding public meetings by the City and County Councils as well as internal meetings for local authorities, the University of Cambridge, and other public service organisations. The local community held diverse celebrations at the Centre including children’s birthday parties, and larger events celebrating Black History Month, Divali and Garba festivals.
A slow public response to live gigs following the pandemic led to a cautious approach to programming by promoters but included performances by the Tom Robinson Band, folk singer John Smith, Kristin Hersch, Laura Veirs, and Gruff Rhys amongst others.
The Centre has its own Business Continuity Plan in place. It also features in the plans of local organisations through its ability to provide, at short notice, shelter for local residents should they be displaced due to an unforeseen event or to offer an administrative base from which to coordinate recovery plans.
Cambridge City Council manages the Centre under an agreement with the Trust which expires in December 2022. Trustees are seeking a new management operator to fulfil the Centre’s community ambitions alongside a viable and vibrant programme of events.

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
On behalf of the Trustees, I wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to the Centre staff who have brought the Centre life from its opening in 2018 and met the challenges presented by Covid with such effectiveness. The University and Council staff who support the Centre and Trust in various ways and members of the community who have initiated and sustain such a diverse range of activities and of course the providers and audiences of the arts, music and entertainment events.
Our purpose and activities
The objectives of the charity are stated in its articles as:
-
(a) The advancement of community development and environmental improvement in particular through the provision of public access to and use of the Jointly Managed Open Land together with the Community Facility by, and for the benefit of, the residents, businesses, communities, visitors and the wider public in the area surrounding of the Jointly Managed Open Land, the neighbourhood, and elsewhere (including but not limited to the City of Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire District);
-
(b) The promotion of volunteering and of voluntary and other organisations for the benefit of the communities local to the Community Facility and the Jointly Managed Open Land and the wider public;
-
(c) The conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of the Jointly Managed Open Land;
-
(d) The conservation, maintenance and preservation of the Jointly Managed Open Land and the Community Facility;
-
(e) The advancement of such other charitable purposes beneficial to the public, so far as consistent with the objects stated above, as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion determine.
The Storey’s Field Centre achieves its objectives primarily through the provision of the Storey’s Field Centre for Community use. Residential and local groups are encouraged to use the facilities and small grants are available to assist in the establishment of such groups.
The open area adjacent to the building has been utilised for the flag parade and carol singing amongst other activities and as the Centre activities develop, more use will be made of the Jointly Managed Open land. The Centre works with the City Council Sports Development Officer to increase opportunities for residents to take part in fitness classes both at the Centre and in Eddington.
The Centre building is built to high sustainability standards and is managed with waste and environmental considerations at the forefront. In mid 2018 a Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge series of workshops was held to help residents to reduce the amount of food waste. This project works closely with just a few families/households at a time.
The Storey’s Field Trust does not employ staff directly to manage the Centre but it has entered into a service agreement with Cambridge City Council to provide the staff to run and manage the Centre. A separate agreement has been entered into with a facilities management company, Mears, for the cleaning and maintenance of the building and surrounding landscaping.

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of Storey’s Field Community Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (2015);
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors’ report is approved, that:
(a) so far as the Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditors are unaware; and
(b) The Trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information.
By order of the Board of Trustees

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Storey’s Field Community Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINION ON THE OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based solely on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST (continued)
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from the branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
-
The Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement on page 6, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items;
-
in addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the Charity’s ability to operate or to avoid material penalty. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were data protection, anti-bribery, employment and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting correspondence available; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST (continued)
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we;
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing documents made available to us such as internal reports and correspondence with relevant regulators.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General information and legal status
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and is incorporated and domiciled in England. The address of its registered office is Eddington Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 1AA.
2. Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015 – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follow:
a) Basis of Preparation and Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on the Going concern basis. Storey’s Field Community Trust is in a net deficit position as at 31 July 2022. The Trustees have received confirmation that the University of Cambridge intends to support the charity for at least one year after these financial statements are signed. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Exemptions for qualifying entities under FRS 102
FRS 102 allows a qualifying entity certain disclosure exemptions, subject to certain conditions, which have been complied with, including notification of, and no objection to, the use of exemptions by the Company’s shareholders.
The Company has taken advantage of the following exemptions:
-
(i) from preparing a statement of cash flows, on the basis that it is a qualifying entity.
-
(ii) from disclosing transactions with other wholly owned Group companies as stated in paragraph 3.1A of FRS 102: Related party disclosures.
-
(iii) from disclosing detailed information on financial instruments as set out in paragraph 11.41 of FRS 102: Categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, on the basis that it is a qualifying entity.

STOREY’S FIELD COMMUNITY TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
d) Income recognition
- (i) Room Hire Income
Room Hire Income is recognised on the accruals basis. Where cash is received in advance of the event, this is recognised in deferred income.
e) Financial Instruments
- (i) Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
- (ii) Financial Liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where a debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
f) Fixed Assets
Office equipment, Furniture & Fixtures and IT equipment are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently recorded at cost less any accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of an asset less its residual value, over the useful economic leasehold length of life of that asset as follows:
Office equipment – 7 years Furniture & Fixtures – 7 years IT equipment – 3 years
The Trustees have adopted a policy of revaluing freehold land and buildings. The company hold a long leasehold over the Storey’s Field Centre property which has been stated at the revalued amount less any subsequent depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on buildings is calculated, using the straight-line method, to allocate the cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
- Long leasehold property over the remaining lease period.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.
g) Prepayments

Leasehold property refers to the Storey’s Field Centre property. This property was transferred to the trust for zero cash consideration as part of the North West Cambridge S106 commitments. The leasehold interest was then valued on 31 March 2018 by an independent valuer using market based evidence for similar properties sold in the local area. Had this item been carried under the cost model, it would have been stated at zero cost.
No future lease payments are required for the duration of the lease and so no liability for rentals payable has been recognised separately in the balance sheet.
