WOODBRIDGE RIVERSIDE TRUST

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The details on page one form part of this report.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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)”.

The company is a registered charity and limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with the constitution of the company every member undertakes to contribute such amount (not exceeding £10) to the company's assets should it be wound up.

OBJECT OF THE CHARITY

To protect, preserve and enhance the character of the natural and build environment of the Deben riverside for the benefit of the public. The charity also promotes the maritime heritage of Woodbridge.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance in relation to delivering public benefit, and believe the Trust is fulfilling its requirements.

The Trust continues to deliver activities that bring the community together in a workshop for learning and celebration of the maritime heritage of Woodbridge and the River Deben.

The removal of Covid 19 restrictions has enabled the Longshed to be fully opened to the public and for the Trust to continue with its programmes. The Longshed hosts a number of projects including the building by the Sutton Hoo Ships Company of the replica Sutton Hoo Burial Ship and work continued through the year with the size and shape now becoming apparent.

The Longshed Mezzanine was refurbished during the Covid shut down and the display of tapestries is now proving to be a popular attraction. The tapestries depict in a series of tableaus the history of the River Deben, Sutton Hoo and Woodbridge.

During the year a number of successful events were held at the Longshed with an educational and informative theme. This has helped in promoting the presence in the community of the Longshed and has given strong public footfall through the year. The shop has also proved to be an attraction to the public, selling merchandise with a strong maritime / River Deben theme.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

The financial statements reflect the Trust’s activities for the year ended 31st December 2022. At the year end, the net movement, before transfers, on unrestricted funds amounted to a net surplus of £8,996 compared to a surplus for 2021 of £27,665. The net movement on restricted funds, before transfers, amounted to a deficit of £807 compared to a surplus of £10,109 for 2021.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT ( continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

With the lifting of Covid restrictions the Trust was able to hold a number of public events in and around the Longshed. These included a magical Christmas tree constructed from redundant material by young people from Just 42 which was displayed on Whisstocks Place, exhibitions of craft work by the Suffolk Craft Society and Mr and Mrs Bacon of Bungay, an exhibition of winners from the Suffolk Prep Schools art competition and and exhibition by Woodbridge Camera Club. The gallery is used by The Rabble Chorus for their weekly rehearsals. The second St Ayles Skiff built in the Longshed by the Woodbridge Coastal Rowing Club was launched on the 2 May 2022. Another community project hosted by the Trust.

Along with other charitable and community organisations, Woodbridge Riverside Trust have formed, and are active in the promotion of the riverside of Woodbridge and its environs through the Woodbridge Historic Riverside Group.

Friends of the Longshed have continued giving financial and physical support with the running of the Longshed. This along with individual donations, company and corporate donations and grants from East Suffolk District Council, Woodbridge Town Council, Suffolk County Council, Coast and Heaths AONB grant funds and the Nichol-Young Foundation has confirmed the acceptance of the Longshed as an important part of the community in Woodbridge and East Suffolk. The Trust continues to be grateful to our many friends and supporters and to the team of volunteers who keep the Longshed functioning day to day.

Sae Wylfing, the small replica of the Sutton Hoo ship was again launched in 2022 and moored on the River Deben outside the Longshed. She has added to the environment of the waterfront and has helped attract visitors to the Whisstocks area and to the Longshed. Sae Wylfing spends the winters in a local boatyard who help maintain her and the Trust continues to be grateful for their help. Sae Wylfing is now over 30 years old and will eventually need to be replaced. The Trust have a programme to build a replacement vessel in the Longshed.

The Longshed shop has become popular with visitors to the Longshed. The shop stocks merchandise strongly related to the objectives of the Trust with a strong link to the maritime heritage associated with Woodbridge and the River Deben along with the story of the Sutton Hoo ship. Income from the shop is now a substantial and growing portion of the income for 2022. The Trust continues to be grateful to the volunteers who run the shop

The 2022 Education programme has proved to be very successful with the involvement of local schools In particular the “Follow the Ship” programme held in conjunction with the Sutton Hoo Ships Company has provided a learning experience linking the building of the replica Sutton Hoo Ship with the local environment and Woodbridge’s maritime heritage. The Longshed and Woodbridge Riverside Trust are concentrating on widening this programme with more schools, education centres and child support agencies to provide a learning experience related to our local history and natural environment.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The charity trustees (who are also directors of Woodbridge Riverside Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ report and financial statements, in accordance with applicable law, for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies, as described on pages 9 to 11, and then apply them consistently, observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP and make judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The Trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website.

APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES

The trustees of the charity are detailed on page 1 of these accounts.

When a vacancy occurs for a trustee, the remaining trustees seek to appoint an individual with skills and experience which they feel will be of benefit to the charity.

On appointment, new trustees are given copies of the latest Annual Report and Accounts. There is no formal induction and training programme, but individual trustees attend seminars to update themselves when they feel it necessary.

RESERVES

The restricted funds relating to Longshed capital fund, amount to £66,221 at 31 December 2022 compared to £67,028 at 31 December 2021.

The charity does not have a policy for holding unrestricted reserves. Unrestricted reserves amounted to £86,546 at 31 December 2022 compared to £77,550 at 31 December 2021.

A reserves target of £40,000 has been established in line with Trust policy: 1) to protect The Longshed from any potential risks considered to be of sufficient magnitude to impact the charity and The Longshed operations and 2) to build a fund to cover future projects to ensure the future viability of the charity.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The implementation of these procedures minimises those risks. These procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. In particular, to minimise any financial risks the trustees would seek reputable banks and investment providers into which they could place funds. The performance of their investment would then be reviewed.

INVESTMENTS

The charity has no investments.

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

As the charity has no employees it does not yet have a policy in place relating to employee matters. The activities of the Trust are carried out by unpaid volunteers.

GOING CONCERN

The Trustees consider that the charity has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The accounts 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 (FRS102).

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these accounts are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Committee have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Applications for grants from the local council and County Council are sought to cover shortfalls in funding.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds are funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for a particular purpose.

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 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 Accounts.

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: Longshed tools, fixtures and equipment 5 years straight line Longshed improvements – Air conditioning units 15 years straight line Other Longshed improvements 35 years straight line

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 credited or charged to profit or loss.

Impairment of Fixed Assets

At each reporting date the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
