THE KENT MINING HERITAGE FOUNDATION

REPORT OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021

The Trustees present their report and examined financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes 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 published on 16 July 2014, as amended by Bulletin 1.

Objectives and Activities

The objects of the CIO are:

Public benefit statement

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Achievements and Performance in the Year

Between the demise of Hadlow College and the sale of Betteshanger Country Park to Quinn Estates the Charity continued to function maintaining and increasing its collection through volunteers, and complying with Charity Commission guidance. The Board of Trustees was further strengthened, and the Board seeks to strengthen it even further by filling two vacancies with people having the relevant skill sets. The Board is also seeking to diversify.

Following the sale of BCP a dialogue was opened with the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) to reactivate their £2.1m grant and allow work to recommence on the building of the Kent Mining Museum. During this phase the Board worked closely with the new owners establishing a new base build budget and preparing a draft lease and Service Agreement. During this period all of our existing major suppliers and contractors confirmed their willingness to continue with the project.

In March 2021 the NLHF grant was reactivated and permission to proceed was granted. In April 2021 building work was re-commenced by Quinn Estates and their sub-contractors.

A recruitment programme was begun looking for a Museum Manager, Learning and Education Officer and a Community Curator for the museum. In the period covered the Museum Manager was appointed.

The centre piece of the museum is three mine cars from Tilmanstone Colliery. After training from a machinery conservation specialist volunteers undertook the work which was completed in this period.

Until such time as the Kent Mining Museum is operational and able to generate an income from its activities it is dependent on grants and donations to create the museum and supporting elements in the first instance.

Grant making policy

The Trustees intend to make grants to Betteshanger Country Park Ltd to support the provision of facilities and activities which will be hosted by Betteshanger Park and which will further the KMHF’s objects. Applications will be considered from other organisations or partners which will aim to further the objects of the KMHF through the Museum or the wider Park, or beyond if appropriate. Where KMHF has been the recipient of capital and/or revenue funding, KMHF funds will be gifted to the appropriate recipient body (to be agreed by KMHF Board) and spent in accordance with the agreements and criteria set out by the funder.

THE KENT MINING HERITAGE FOUNDATION

REPORT OF TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021

Grant making policy

The Trustees expect that grants will normally achieve one or more of the following outcomes:

Financial review

Income received for the year ended 31 July 2021 amounted to was £88,021 (2020 £690). Expenditure totalled £91,617 (2020 £4,938). This resulted in a deficit of £3,596 (2020 £4,248) and net funds as of 31 July 2021 of £53,956 (2020 £57,552).

Reserves policy

In accordance with the Charity Commission guidance the Trustees review on a regular basis the level of income they consider appropriate. As of 31 July 2021, the Trustees consider it appropriate to aim to hold reserves equivalent to 6 months general expenditure not covered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund which amounts to around £15,000 (2020 £15,000). The reserves at 31 July 2021 were negative £19,944 (2020 negative £15,948).

Once open, the museum can begin to work towards its business plan and generate income from educational visits and events. This will enable the museum to move from a position of working with restrictive funds specifically for the museum’s development to generation of income that can be used as unrestricted funds to support the charity’s operations.

Restricted funds at 31 July 2021 amounted to £73,900 (2020: £73,500). These relate to ongoing projects.

Going concern

Covid 19 has hampered the remobilisation of the build of the Kent Mining Museum as it was hoped to restart building work in 2020. Within 2021 the Kent Mining Museum, having secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, will be making steps towards opening a fully operational museum with three staff in place. Once open, the museum can begin to work towards its business plan and generate income from educational visits and events. This will enable the museum to move from a position of working with restrictive funds specifically for the museum’s development to generation of income that can be used as unrestricted funds to support the charity’s operations. The museum opened in April 2022.

Risk Management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable the charity to lessen or mitigate those risks.

The year to 31 July 2021 has presented many challenges for the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, but despite this the KMHF has developed a stronger board of Trustees and has worked hard to ensure that the Governance and Policies of the CIO are more robust. Principal risks include loss of National Lottery Heritage Funding and relations with the new owners of Betteshanger Country Park to ensure the Kent Mining Museum project can be delivered inline with its original vision to enable the ongoing support of its funders.

We are pleased to report that we were successful in our application to NHLF so that risk did not materialise. In addition we have good relationship with the new owners. The principal risks for 2020/21 are:

A Risk Register forms part of the regular Board reporting process and is regularly appraised, reviewed and updated. The purpose of the Risk Register is to help all staff and Trustees identify and manager risks before they occur, rather than dealing with the consequences. Our approach to risk management enables us to fulfil our ambitions and maximise opportunities when they present themselves. The Trustees believe that effective systems and controls are in place to mitigate these risks.

THE KENT MINING HERITAGE FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 13.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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:

I would draw your attention to the negative unrestricted funds as detailed on the Statement of Financial Activities on page 6. We would also draw your attention to the commentary on page 3 under Reserves Policy. Discussions with the Trustees have been held and it is the intention to return the funds to a positive position once the Museum is fully open. The Museum opened in April 2022. A fundraising programme is currently in place to generate additional funds to assist the Foundation. Our opinion is not qualified in this respect.

Other than the above, 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.

THE KENT MINING HERITAGE FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021

1.1 Basis of accounting

The Kent Mining Heritage Foundation is a registered charity with the Charity Commission in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are to advance the education of the public for the public benefit in the mining heritage of Kent and in old and new forms of energy, in particular green energy, in particular but not exclusively by the establishment and maintenances of a museum on the former colliery site at Betteshanger, Kent; To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 as amended by Bulletin 1, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

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

1.2 Fund accounting

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the Trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restriction arises when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

1.3 Income recognition

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

1.4 Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, is inclusive of VAT and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

THE KENT MINING HERITAGE FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.5 Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

1.6 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

1.7 Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1.8 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Covid 19 has hampered the remobilisation of the build of the Kent Mining Museum as it was hoped to restart building work in 2020. Within 2021 the Kent Mining Museum, having secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, will be making steps towards opening a fully operational museum with three staff in place. Once open, the museum can begin to work towards it’s business plan and generate income from educational visits and events. This will enable the museum to move from a position of working with restrictive funds specifically for the museum’s development to generation of income that can be used as unrestricted funds to support the charity’s operations. The Museum opened in April 2022.

1.9 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

There are no significant judgements or accounting estimates.
