TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2025.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

Langham Dome was originally constructed in 1942 to be one of about forty state of the art Dome Teachers built across the United Kingdom and was at the forefront of Britain's anti aircraft defence in the second World War. With its projection systems, ventilation machinery and dummy gun, the Dome was on the very cutting edge of technology and played a key role in helping to train those protecting the country from air attack.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The Dome is owned by North Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust (NNHBT) and its restoration was completed by NNHBT in 2014 at a cost of approximately £280,000. A range of educational displays have since been installed by NNHBT at a cost of over £300,000. All this expenditure has been financed by grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and several other organisations.

NNHBT has subsequently leased the Dome to Friends of Langham Dome (“FoLD”) for 25 years and transferred to FoLD ownership of its contents. NNHBT is responsible for maintaining the structure of the dome building, with FoLD responsible for maintaining the contents.

FoLD is jointly and severally liable, with NNBHT, to HLF for various substantial commitments to sustain the project.

c. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

The Dome is an exciting visitor experience for young and old alike, providing a fascinating insight into the technology underlying aircraft gunner training during WW2 and into the life of the airfield and surrounding villages at that time.

The Dome offers a host of educational opportunities for children and young people at all stages of their education and we work closely with teachers specialising in Key Stages 1-5.

As at 31 October 2025 we had 122 Friends of the Dome, who each pay an annual subscription of £15 from the locality and far afield. We are really grateful for this support.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The Charity continues to seek ways of investing further to preserve the history and bring to life the role of RAF Langham in World War 2, and many aspects of the war itself, to all generations. The Manager remains Scott Eltringham and Deborah Preston remains in the role of Administrator. The Manager relies upon two dedicated volunteers to stand in for him at weekends or when he is on leave.

One cannot complete this report without mention of our dedicated band of volunteers, who on a daily basis turn out to support the coordinators and extend their individual knowledge of the Dome and the Airfield to the visitors. Our TripAdvisor and google reviews continue to highlight visitors’ appreciation of their participation in making their visit an amazing and memorable experience. We cannot praise or thank them enough.

The Charity did not undertake any major capital expenditure this year, but did hold a fundraising event in early September, to commemorate the 80th Anniversaries of Victory in Europe and Victory over Japan. The event was opened by Air Marshal Sir Dick Garwood, who with his wife, drew the 5 winning tickets of the Raffle which raised £2,000. The full size replica Spitfire by the Dome continues to have a major drawing power on visitors passing by.

The Memorial Garden continues to attract a large number of visitors and passers-by who stop to look at the Spitfire and use the garden. This provides a healthy addition of funds through donations made via the “Donation Post”.

In recent years the Trustees stated they must continue to seek ways of investing further to preserve the history and bring to life the role of RAF Langham in World War 2, and many aspects of the war itself, to all generations. It was, therefore, through providing financial support to ensure publication could go ahead, for a new booklet called “Attack and Defence” providing much more detail about the Coastal Command operations flown from RAF Langham during WW2 and subsequently during the Cold War. The authors are two of our most dedicated volunteers who kindly agreed to donate all proceeds to the Charity. The publication continues to be a resounding success bringing valuable funds from sales.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

Financial review

a. Review of the year

The year produced a record number of 4,852 visitors which included 681 children. To increase the Charity’s visibility at events in North Norfolk, two gazebos were purchased, suitably highlighted in the striking yellow and black colours of the Charity’s logo. We are grateful to the RC Snelling Charitable Trust for a donation of £1,500 towards the cost of one gazebo.

Total income was £64,641 ( 2024 - £62,728 ) largely due to a significant increase in trading activity as a result of successful merchandising and refreshment sales as well as book sales.

Total expenditure was £68,135 ( 2024 - £76,077 ). There was a net gain on investments of £1,519 which offset a loss of £3,494 on operations. Therefore, net assets fell marginally from £279,978 in 2024 to £278,003, of which £221,701 relates to unrestricted funds and £56,302 to restricted funds.

Depreciation and amortisation at £11,939 ( 2024 – £20,286 ) fell dramatically, reducing the previously large figure for support costs. Looking forward, this depreciation of assets taken over from the Landlord (NNHBT) is predicted to reduce over the next 5 years as reflected in our five year business plan. Whilst not a current cash expenditure, it does indicate the need to conserve funds for renewal of assets.

Keeping a very close eye on our liquid assets in the bank, the Trustees felt confident they could move a further £5,000 in 2025 from the deposit account into the CCLA investment portfolio short duration bond fund to protect the Charity’s reserves from inflation. Cash at bank and in hand at year end was £43,329 ( 2024 - £38,501 ) hence the decision by the Trustees.

b. Reserves policy

Total reserves held as at 31 October 2025 were £278,003 ( 2024 - 279,978 ). Free reserves, being unrestricted funds not represented by fixed assets were £152,686 ( 2024 - £145,600 ).

At the end of 2025 financial year the Trustees had built up liquid assets of £151,072 being £107,743 invested in CCLA funds and £43,329 in cash at bank and in hand. This, as planned, should give us a reasonably comfortable cushion against the ebbs and flows of our operations and some flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for investment to enhance our visitor attraction.

The Trustees believe that we should hold in reserve around two years' operational cash expenditure, estimated now to be in the order of £85,000. In addition, in due course the depreciation charge will manifest itself in the need for cash to renew assets which is also likely to require us to resort to grant funding. We have no wish to accumulate cash which could be used for further investment but the Trustees continue to believe that the best investment is financial prudence to ensure that our project will continue for many years to come.

c. Investment of funds

The Trustees agreed to hold investments with CCLA at the current level.

d. Independent examination

The Trustees re-appointed MA Partners LLP for the ensuing year.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

e. Going concern

The Trustees have considered the charity's position at the time of signing the financial statements. The Trustees have again held admission fees at the same level since 2022. The Trustees remain confident that numbers of visitors are moving in the right direction, despite the pressures on the cost of living. Any increase in admission fees may jeopardise total numbers for little to no financial gain.

Having considered the financial strength of the Charity, the Trustees remain confident that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Friends of Langham Dome is a registered charity, number 1157742, and is constituted under a Memorandum of Association.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.

The current Trustees were selected for their enthusiasm for the project, knowledge of aeronautical matters, financial expertise and non executive skills.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Memorandum of Association. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Friends of Langham Dome ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 October 2025.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) 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 been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

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 Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

1. General information

Friends of Langham Dome is a registered charity (1157742) registered in England and Wales. The Members of the Charity include the Trustees named on page 1.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Friends of Langham Dome meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees have considered the Charity's position at the time of signing the financial statements, including the current financial strength of the Charity, together with the range of measures the Trustees could take to mitigate ongoing costs should they need to.

Based on this, the Trustees have concluded that they have reasonable expectation that the Charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements, they therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

Page 10

FRIENDS OF LANGHAM DOME

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £1 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Website - 5 years
Film license - 5-10 years

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Page 11

FRIENDS OF LANGHAM DOME

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Plant and machinery - 10 years
Fixtures and fittings - 5-25 years
Other fixed assets - 15 years

2.8 Heritage assets

Where heritage assets have been purchased, they are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, heritage assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

2.9 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

2.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.11 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

Page 12

FRIENDS OF LANGHAM DOME

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.13 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.14 Operating leases

The lease of premises at Trainer Dome, Langham Airfield, Cockthorpe Road, Langham has a term of 25 years beginning on 1 January 2019 and expiring on 31 December 2043. Consideration for the lease has been agreed as annual peppercorn rent.

2.15 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
