**HAWKER TYPHOON PRESERVATION GROUP TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
1. To preserve and protect a Napier Sabre powered Hawker Typhoon MkIb aircraft and return her to full working order for the benefit of the public and to demonstrate and display her to the public; and
2. To advance the education of the public in Hawker Typhoon aircraft and their crews for the benefit of British Heritage, remembrance and historical knowledge and in particular:
- a. Its associated provenance and historical context;
- b. Its aviation and engineering heritage,
- c. Its significant heritage interest,
- d. Its operational and maintenance procedures and processes
- e. Its design, engineering and technologies
In planning all the charity activities for the year 2020-2021 we have continued to reference the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at Trustee meetings.
The full focus of activities during the year has been to continue to advance the education of the public in the Hawker Typhoon aircraft and their crews, to preserve and protect the project airframe (serial number RB396) and to raise funds towards the first stages of rebuild. We have committed to maintain a presence at as many public events that our trustee and volunteer base will allow and continue a much larger footprint at major air shows in the UK which will enable us to grow the volunteer and supporter base.
Supporters of the charity have continued to make a significant contribution towards the objectives. They volunteer their time to help (some as post holders) which include maintaining the organisation’s headquarters, managing the shop, hosting events, attending public events (on behalf of the charity) and attending organised presentations to further the objectives. Without their valuable contribution of time, energy, enthusiasm, expertise and on occasions a financial contribution, the project would not have been able to achieve the exposure to the public that has been continued this year.
The trustees wish to place on record our thanks for all the supporter volunteers for their help and their continued support.

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
All events that had been planned for 1st April 2020 were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Platinum Club (the extra Supporters’ Club tier) was launched, as was the new website and limited edition merchandise. Notable achievement, at the height of the first lockdown, was £60,000 raised or pledged surrounding the 1st April events.
The trustees and project team assessed the potential future impact of COVID-19 on their fundraising abilities and elected to pause the rebuild to preserve cash, pending the unknown effect of the pandemic.
A project Patron and two project Ambassadors were announced. Their role is largely a silent one, although their appointment is a PR benefit to the charity and adds credibility to an already impressive performance.
The Annual Supporters’ Club renewal window opened at the end of October 2021, however, the annual Supporters’ day was cancelled due to Covid19 rules. The day prior to the members’ day was the charity’s AGM, led predominantly by Sam Worthington-Leese, trustee.
Covid-19 continued to hamper the charity's activities but this did not stop the continued efforts of the volunteers to work towards raising the needed funds.
Supporters’ Club renewal window grace period for annual members closed at the end of February, with over 1000 current members.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain the general unrestricted funds at a level to provide sufficient reserves to meet the future anticipated demands on the charities resources.
Having regard to the likely levels of incoming resources and direct charitable expenditure, the Trustees are satisfied that the funds held at 31st May 2021 as reflected in the balance sheet are available and adequate for the Trustees to fulfil the obligations of the Charity and maintain its operations. Freely available funds held at 31st May 2021 were £158,945. Funds of the charity totalled £659,447.

## **HAWKER TYPHOON PRESERVATION GROUP**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
The project will continue to raise funds and will conduct a review of best practices for this. Advice and guidance has been sought from other, similar, projects, regarding large scale fundraising. Air shows, small events, and merchandise will continue to play a part, but in a lesser role. Whereas specific fundraising targeted towards HNW individuals, companies, or those with familial links to the Typhoon will be explored.
Due to the pandemic, 2020/21 saw a refocus for the project. Air shows and events could not happen. For this reason, the above advice and guidance has been sought, by the trustees, to allow the project to continue to raise the funds required. Early indications are that the refocus of activities, although yet to fully bed in, has been very successful.
The Trustees will continue to authorise investment in any activities that will promote the charity’s objectives and increase the public awareness of the aircraft, crews and project whilst adhering to our reserves policy.
## **Plans for 2021-2022**
A review of current and planned fundraising activities is underway. Large scale investment is sought and one of the trustees (Sam Worthington-Leese) is seeking the advice and guidance required through his contact network, in order to facilitate this.
When able, the rebuild will be recommenced. This will be dependent on a larger than normal cash reserve being held, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Physical events have been cancelled due to the pandemic. However, online sales are strong and will continue to be promoted. The new tier to the Supporters’ Club has proved popular and will continue to be promoted.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 12.
## **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**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institue of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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 the charity 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 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of accounting**
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts (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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group is an unincorporated registered charity and meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are of the opinion that the charity has sufficient resources to continue its activities for the next 12 months from the date of signing these accounts.
## **Incoming Resources**
Donations and subscriptions are recognised when receivable.
## **Resources Expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes VAT as the charity is not VAT registered. The majority of costs are attributable to specific charitable activities. Governance costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the charity and include independent examination, strategic management and Trustees’ meetings.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Major expenditure on tangible fixed assets is capitalised. This includes aircraft parts purchased for the restoration project.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
No depreciation is charged on the aircraft during restoration. Event equipment - 10% straight line
