## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

The objects of the CIO are for the public benefit to preserve historic machinery, artefacts and buildings, in particular at Jesse Shirley's Etruscan Bone and Flint Mill, Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent, and to advance the education of the public in the same and their history. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

The Charity operated the Etruria Industrial Museum and maintained Shirley’s Bone and Flint Mill. The mill was put into steam on four weekends when the public were admitted and talks and guided tours provided. The museum was open to the public on every Friday. At other times, school, history and special interest groups were hosted for educational purposes. A number of outreach event were provided for clubs. The Etruria Canals Festival and the Etruria Classic Vehicle and Vintage Stationary Engine Rally were organised and held at the museum. Significant funds were expended on promotion of the museum locally and nationally. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Keeping the site tidy by litter picking, grass cutting, building cleaning and general maintenance to provide a safe outside environment for public and visitor use. 

General maintenance of the mill machinery during the winter ensured the annual certification of the 1903 Cornish boiler was renewed and the mill could operate. 

A new and enhanced till and system was introduced to make accounting for takings easier for the volunteers. 

Organising four weekend steaming events including the Etruria Canals Festival, Vintage Stationary Engine and Classic Vehicle rallies. With the 50th anniversary of the re-opening of the Caldon Canal this was taken as the theme for the former and a film was commissioned which is shown on a loop when the museum is open. The latter supported the National Heritage Open Days in September with the theme, ‘Routes - Networks – Connections’. External speakers were engaged to present talks on ‘The Golden Age of Canals’ and ‘Connecting the Potteries to the World’. Public entry was free. With the museum opening to the public on every Friday visitor numbers, mainly from outside area, with many from overseas, increased. 

## _**Use of volunteers**_ 

Volunteers provided all the labour to maintain and operate the museum and mill. This is to include mill and site maintenance, restoration and repair of the mill, education, sales and marketing, accounts and general administration. 

## **Financial review** 

The financial results are shown on pages 5 to 19.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

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

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

## **Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income, including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature, is recognised when, the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when: 

- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

## **Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Page 9 



## **Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

**Asset class** Freehold Land & Property 

Plant & Machinery 

**Depreciation method and rate** over estimated useful life. 

25% per annum on a reducing balance basis. 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is establised when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

## **Financial instruments** 

## _**Classification**_ 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities. 

Page 10 



## **Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill Volunteers** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## _**Recognition and measurement**_ 

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
