## **St Just and St Mawes Heritage Group**
## **Chairman’s Annual Report to Members for AGM**
## **Year ending 31[st] October 2022**
We have had a varied and successful year when all sections of Heritage Group activities have moved forward. This is a vast improvement on my previous annual report when covid prevented so many activities.
## Membership
Our membership has increased to168 with new members joining as a result of our monthly talks. We now have 1,500 members of our very successful Facebook page where photographs posted result in many comments and reminiscences.
During the year we have increased our annual membership to £10 for a single person and £15 for a couple, children are free.
## Talks.
Our monthly talks have been very well supported. These have covered a wide range of subjects such as Architect Silvanus Trevail, The Coastguard Service, and The Archaeology of the Roseland.
## Web site
Our web site has been used by many people requesting further information about people and places in the area. However, it is in need of an upgrade which we are now undertaking.
## Finance
Our monthly financial reports have shown a very stable income and expenditure throughout the year. The loan we have made to Pomery’s Ltd. and the accrued interest is now reflected in our annual accounts.
During the year we have acquired a” card reader” to accommodate the cashless society needs. We have also engaged a new Independent Examiner for our accounts.
## Annual Exhibiton
This year our telephone box exhibition celebrated Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. It featured Royal Visits to the parish and photos from the open-air drama The Childrens re-enactment of the Coronation. It was accompanied by a walk leaflet describing an historic walk around St Mawes. It was used by 1,000 people during the year.
## Pomery’s Building
The Heritage Group owns 50% of the shares in Pomery’s Ltd., the other 50% is owned by the Roseland Gig Club. Pomery’s Ltd. owns the freehold to the site known as the Pomery’s Building in Kings Road, St Mawes. Pomery’s Ltd. intends to redevelop the site on behalf of its shareholders so that the Gig Club and the Heritage Group can each be granted a long lease on the ground and first floors respectfully of the new building. The remaining floors will be residential accommodation sold on the open market also on long leases.
During the year a pre-planning application for the redevelopment of the building was finalised. A public exhibition of the proposals was held and recorded a good range of comments, nearly all of which were positive. The plans were submitted to Cornwall Council and St Just in Roseland Parish Council for pre-application comments. There were some objections from local neighbours and the planning authority recommended that we withdraw the application so the comments could be addressed.
All the legitimate comments have now been addressed by making design modifications. The new plan is now ready for formal submission of the planning application.
## Trustees
We currently have a hard- working group of nine trustees and I would like to thank them all for the valued contributions of their time and skills over the year. There is space for 3 more if any of you would like to join our group you would be very welcome. For our future needs we would welcome someone with an interest in art.
I would also like to thank you, the members, for your continued support.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2022**
1. The charity has loaned amounts, totalling £60,000 as at the year end, to Pomery’s Ltd, a company of which the charity owns 50% of the share capital.
Interest is accruing on the amounts outstanding in accordance with the agreed terms of the loan. As at 31[st] October 2022, this interest totalled £4,031. The interest receivable is not reflected in the financial statements as they are prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
The 2021 year end accounts, in error, recognised the monies loaned to Pomery’s Ltd as amounts expended. The 2021 comparatives in these financial statements have been restated accordingly resulting in an increase of £35,000 in the reserves and total funds held as at 31[st] October 2021.
2. The charity held £5.45 in petty cash at the year end. The amount had been brought forward from previous years but had not been recognised in the statement of assets and liabilities in previous periods’ accounts. The funds have been introduced this year as fundraising income.
3. The Trustees believe that the value of any non-fixed assets not reflected on the statement of assets and liabilities totals no more than £100.
4. All utility bills and responsibility for payment has now been transferred to Pomery’s Ltd.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST JUST AND ST MAWES HERITAGE GROUP**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 October 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 3.
## **Respective responsibilities of members and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act: and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or.
- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached.
