## **ST AGNES MINERS AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE (2013)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the CIO's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
## **Objectives and activities**
The object of the Charity is the provision of and maintenance of a village hall for the use of inhabitants of the Parish of St Agnes and the neighbourhood.
The Charity, a CIO, is responsible for the management and operation of a building gifted to the local community as a 'village hall' which is to be used for the benefit of all local residents. Trustees are appointed to the CIO in line with its constitution. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the MMI is used in the manner laid down in the original deeds by the benefactor John Passmore Edwards. Activities include the provision of the village hall for any charitable purpose and for the benefit of the inhabitants of St Agnes, Cornwall as the Trustees of the Charity see fit.
## _Public benefit_
We have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planning activities will contribute to those aims and objectives.
## _Activities_
The Charity is a not for profit organisation set up to provide facilities and events that meet the needs of the local population and community. It continues to seek ways to develop the usage of the MMI facilities. The day-to-day management of the MMI is effectively managed by the MMI Manager. The Trust relies heavily on income generated from room lettings in the premises. The MMI Manager has established procedures that ensure the rooms are being used effectively and matched to the hirer’s needs. The success of this strategy over the past few years is seen in the large number of regular and repeat bookings, particularly with local groups and clubs. The use of the facilities by the public has included:
- Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Chair Yoga
- Flamenco, Silver Swans ballet, adult and children’s dance classes
- Young People Cornwall weekly youth club
- Hire of rooms by local groups for AGMs, seminars & public information meetings
- A workspace
- Charity jumble sales
- Baby & toddler groups
- Art, writing and music groups
- Monthly community market
- Community cafe
- Memory Café twice-monthly for those affected by Dementia and their carers

## **ST AGNES MINERS AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE (2013)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
## **Achievements and performance**
The year ending 31 March 2026 has been one of both challenge and achievement for St Agnes Miners & Mechanics Institute. Like many community organisations, we have continued to face rising operating costs, particularly for energy and the maintenance of our historic building. These pressures have reinforced the importance of securing the MMI's long-term future while continuing to provide the services and activities that our community relies upon every day.
Despite these challenges, this has also been a year of progress. We have invested in maintaining our building, been active in planning significant improvements to accessibility and sustainability, secured vital grant funding, welcomed new trustees and volunteers, and strengthened our fundraising efforts. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our staff, volunteers, trustees, funders, supporters and the wider St Agnes community.
The following highlights provide a snapshot of another busy and rewarding year at the MMI.
## Highlights of the Year
## _April & May 2025_
Essential damp-proofing work was completed in our beautiful Enys Room, which had become increasingly cold and damp for the many groups using it throughout the year. Thanks to generous grants from The Norman Family Trust, the Bernard Sunley Foundation and the St Agnes Local Improvements Committee, together with a contribution from the MMI's reserves, the room is now warm, dry and once again fully fit for purpose.
## _May 2025_
We were delighted to secure funding from Cornwall Council's Community Capacity Fund to consult with our community and develop plans for the future of the MMI. Working alongside a local architect, design specialists and a steering group of 18 local people representing a wide range of ages and backgrounds, we created a vision for improving accessibility, sustainability and the flexibility of our spaces. These exciting plans will guide future improvements over the next five years, subject to funding.
We launched our first-ever full-day music festival 'Bal Fest' showcasing ten local artists across two MMI stages.
## _July 2025_
The MMI hosted the village VE & VJ Day Celebration, with a full family-friendly day of activities. This was a village wide project and included exhibitions, speakers, dancing, a military vehicle display, and 100 cream teas for locals, donated by a local bakery.
## _August 2025_
Improving the environmental sustainability of the building became a major priority. Work began on our solar panel project with ecological surveys of bats and birds, marking the first stage towards reducing our ever-increasing energy costs and protecting the future financial sustainability of the MMI.
We were delighted to welcome two new trustees, Sally Thomas and Claire John, who bring valuable experience in human resources, social care and business management.
## _September 2025_
Our first ever Open Day proved to be one of the highlights of the year and a turning point in our fundraising efforts. More than 400 people visited throughout the day to celebrate everything the MMI offers our community, and their part in creating it.
Visitors enjoyed a fascinating talk on the history of the building by Roger Radcliffe, café refreshments, information displays, taster sessions, live music, workshops and a moving campaign video created by a trustee, highlighting the financial challenges facing the MMI and asking for community support.

## **ST AGNES MINERS AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE (2013)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
The response was overwhelming, with many local people signing up as monthly "Legends" supporters. The day demonstrated just how much the MMI means to our community, and was a heart-warming reminder of the strength of local support.
Alongside this, we established a Fundraising Sub-Group which continues to meet weekly. We delivered fundraising leaflets throughout the parish and launched our Corporate Legend scheme, with several local businesses including Hanbury Financial Services, Pullen Davies Solicitors, Edhen Vets, Aspects Holidays and Revitalise Dental Centre becoming some of our first supporters.
## _October 2025_
We were extremely grateful to receive a £15,000 grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation towards our running costs, our second award from this funder. Receiving continued support following the successful delivery and reporting of our previous grant is a welcome endorsement of their confidence in the MMI and the way in which we manage the funding entrusted to us. The grant provides much-needed support during an increasingly challenging financial period.
## _November 2025_
Following the increase in the Real Living Wage, the Trustees took the important decision to continue paying all staff at or above this rate. During the same month we also launched the MMI 100 Club, an ambitious campaign encouraging 100 individuals, families or organisations to each contribute £1,000 towards building a more secure financial future for the charity. This is an ongoing project.
## _December 2025_
We were delighted to receive a £20,000 grant from the National Lottery Awards for All programme, our second from this funder. We are extremely grateful for their support. The MMI continued to be a vibrant community hub throughout the year, hosting National Theatre Live screenings, Carn to Cove performances, Community Cinema, Power to the Meeple gaming events, games nights, pool competitions, Robbie Bunt's popular jam nights, Small Plates evenings, boogie-woogie piano performances, Mingle & Jingle celebrations, private parties and a very popular family-friendly New Year's Eve party with an amazing local live band, four different rooms full of children’s activities, and and at 9pm, a balloon drop & New Year’s Eve celebration.
We also introduced wedding and private party packages for the first time.
Our talented Arts groups once again produced beautiful Christmas card designs, raising valuable funds for the charity.
Ben Jackson organised a staff, café and Workspace darts tournament, bringing everyone together for a fun evening of friendly competition and team building.
We also met with Tim Bagshaw from Access 2 Finance to begin developing a three to five-year business strategy for the organisation.
## _January 2026_
The MMI held its first Annual General Meeting, establishing what will become an important annual opportunity to review our progress and engage with members.
During the month, Storm Goretti caused damage to our roof and left the village without power for several days, creating additional challenges for the building and our operations.
## _February 2026_
Our Manager, Rachel Budden, completed a comprehensive organisational Risk Register and, working alongside Sally Thomas, our Safeguarding lead, reviewed and updated key policies including Fire Safety, Safeguarding, First Aid and Health & Safety.
The MMI also welcomed BBC Radio Cornwall, who broadcast their Breakfast Show live from the building, helping to showcase our work to listeners across the county.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
We also thanked Ben Jackson for his outstanding service as Chair of Trustees and welcomed Hilary Owen into the role. We are delighted that Ben continues to serve as a trustee.
Our jazz programme restarted in conjunction with a local jazz musician, helping to curate regular events featuring local players alongside nationally recognised talent.
## _March 2026_
We launched our Free Wills Service in partnership with Pullen Davies Solicitors. The scheme enables local people to make or update their wills free of charge, while offering the opportunity to leave a legacy gift to help secure the future of the MMI for generations to come.
## Conclusion
As we look ahead, we remain committed to safeguarding this remarkable building and ensuring it continues to serve the people of St Agnes for now and for the future. While financial challenges remain significant, the support shown by our funders, volunteers, staff, trustees and community throughout this year has given us renewed confidence. Together, we are not only preserving an important piece of Cornwall's heritage, but also strengthening a thriving community hub that continues to change and improve lives every day, in line with our mission ‘to build, enhance and support lives and communities in St Agnes’.
## **Financial review**
The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances. The surplus for the year is £18,489 (2025: £5,498 deficit). This is due to unrestricted grants not yet being fully spent totalling £22,090.
Unrestricted reserves show a surplus of £130,621 (2025: £111,937 surplus), with restricted funds showing a surplus of £331,483 (2025: £331,678 surplus). Free reserves total £115,332(2025: £93,950).
## _Reserves policy_
The St Agnes Miners & Mechanics Institute (MMI) aims to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months of essential running costs, currently £37,500.
These reserves provide a financial safety net to protect the MMI if there is an unexpected reduction in income, an unforeseen major expense, or another significant issue that requires the organisation to reduce or cease its activities and close responsibly.
We have also designated £6,500 towards the replacement of our outdated fire doors, and £20,000 to support an application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for essential renovation, accessibility and heritage protection work.
## _Financial Management_
We review our financial position through our cashflow projection, which enables us to monitor budgeted income and expenditure against actual performance. The cashflow projection, together with a written financial report, is presented by the finance team to trustees and managers at a monthly meeting. This provides a clear picture of our financial position and enables appropriate discussion and action.
## _Risk management_
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises of an annual review to discuss those risks identified and plan procedures to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) (registered number: 1156072) and is controlled by its constitution dated 7 March 2014 (as amended 19 December 2024).

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mr B Jackson
Ms H Owen Mr R Wilson Mr J D Cooper (Resigned 24 November 2025) Ms C John (Appointed 1 August 2025) Ms S Thomas (Appointed 1 August 2025) Ms S Quinn (Resigned 1 May 2025) Ms N King (Resigned 16 July 2025)
## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_
At its incorporation in 2014 the charity (CIO) had three trustees. During the year there were several changes to the Board, resulting in the charity having five trustees as at 31 March 2026. We extend our grateful thanks to those who have given their time and expertise to help the MMI reach where it is today.
As part of its constitution the Board of Trustees are charged, when considering the appointment of a Trustee, to consider persons with "skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO". A newly appointed Trustee engages in an induction programme that ensures a) they are aware of the aims and objectives of the Trust and b) are aware of their role and responsibilities as a Trustee governed by the Charity Commission. They are given a copy of the Commission's Welcome Pack.
## _Organisational structure_
In 2014, following approval from the Charity Commissioner to create a CIO to replace the existing Trust, St Agnes Miners & Mechanics Institute (2013), was incorporated and began the preparation for taking on the responsibilities and assets of the old Trust. From 1 April 2016, the new Trust assumed full responsibility for the operation and management of the assets of the old Trust, in particular the building known as the Miners & Mechanics Institute (MMI).
In February 2017, the Trust appointed a Community Development Manager, now called the Manager, who has the responsibility for the day-to-day operation and management of the premises. As at 31 March 2026, the MMI had eight employees and 11 volunteers (including trustees). All are part-time and from the local area.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST AGNES MINERS AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE (2013)**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St Agnes Miners and Mechanics Institute (2013) (the CIO) for the year ended 31 March 2026.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
- I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 CIO as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **ST AGNES MINERS AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE (2013)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
St Agnes Miners and Mechanics Institute (2013) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the CIO's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The CIO is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The CIO has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the CIO. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is derived mainly from 'Other trading activities' which consists of cafe income, bar income, events and room hire.
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.
## **1.5 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.
- 9 -
## **ST AGNES MINERS AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE (2013)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs, management costs and finance costs. Governance costs are those items of expenditure incurred in the course of the charity's statutory obligations and include the cost of independent examination and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Supports costs are mainly allocated to 'Expenditure on raising funds'. The governance costs have wholly been allocated to 'Other resources expended' given they do not relate to the day-to-day activities of the charity.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings Not depreciated Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance Computers 15% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.7 Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The CIO only has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **1.10 Employee 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.
