The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustee's Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

Structure, governance and management

The Charitable Incorporated Organisation was established by a constitution registered with the Charity Commlssion on 26 July 2016.

During 2015/16 the Trustees reviewed the status of the charity and decided to seek incorporation. This was effected through the creation of a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and the subsequent transfer of assets from the unincorporated charitable trust (registered charity number 291931) to the CIO on 1 January 2017. The transfer was part of a restructure including the transfer of assets from The Green Howards Regimental Museum and The Green Howards Normandy Memorial Trust to the CIO as their corporate successor.

The Charity Commission has also granted a scheme to appoint The Green Howards Trust as the sole Trustee of The Green Howards Regimental Museum.

Historically the Trustees have been former officers of the regiment. The current Trustees have begun to broaden the Trustee base and will continue to do so over the medium term. Trustees are made aware of the Charities Commission regulations by the secretary.

The Trustees meet formally four times per year. They set and monitor the annual budget and agree strategy and future plans. Two sub-committees have been established which report to the board; a museum executive committee, which is responsible for the oversight of the museum, and the investment committee.

We are grateful for the support of Paul Taylor and Lynda Powell; both of whom resigned as trustees in 2024. This year we welcomed Marcus Hinde and Josh Robson to the Trust and David Barras and Christine Power to the Museum Executive Committee.

Vision, Objectives and Activities

The Green Howards Trust's vision is:

To inspire and inform present and future generations with the story of The Green Howards. and

To preserve and develop the core physical collection and the history it represents, whil promoting the achievements and ethos of quiet excellence of The Green Howards.

The charity's objectives are:

To advance education in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of the Green Howards Museum and the preservation and maintenance of the Green Howards collection and

To promote the efficiency of the armed forces by upholding the traditions and ethos of the Green Howards Regiment and perpetuating its deeds.

The Green Howards Museum's mission is:

To advance education of the role of the Green Howards and the Army in world events for the benefit of the general public. To be the spiritual home of the Green Howards for ex Green Howards and their families.

Ours is an open invitation to see, engage with and learn from the collection with specific focus on veterans, the elderly and young people, to actively contribute to the development of the museum, the collection and the stories it tells.

By collecting, preserving and facilitating access (both physical and digital) to material relating to the Green Howards and the Royal Yorkshire Regiment, we challenge perceptions, encourage debate and create an emotional connection to the soldiers who served.

Our strategic objectives are to:

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustee's Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

Vision, Objectives and Activities (continued)

In 2024 the Trust worked with a consultant to deliver a case for support for the museum. Through this work, the Trust agreed to prioritise three key audiences in our outreach activities: veterans, the elderly, and children under 18. This strategic focus emphasises using the collection for educational good and to achieve broader societal benefits; and will shape our outreach activities over the next three years.

Achievements and perfomance

The Trustees remain fully focused on delivering the new strategy which was agreed in May 2023. There is a clear understanding that it is ambitious and will hold a number of challenges but ultimately is the right direction for the Trust to move in.

With a vision to inspire and inform present and future generations with the story of The Green Howards and to achieve this on an in-perpetuity basis means, there is a need to fundraise over the next 5 years to ensure the Trust's endowment can support the vision; initially this will be through a legacy campaign. In the short term the income generation is required to create financial resilience to weather the potential cessation of MOD funding to the Museum in 2030.

Museum Report

2024 was a busy year for the Museum. We had 7075 visitors, an increase on 2023 by 4.5%. Over 250 children attended curator led school workshops and 5 GCSE and A level students carried out work placements. We worked with 44 students on 3 projects with Leeds University, had 76 research cases commissioned and added over 21,000 soldiers names to our database.

The focus for the museum was commemorating the 80[th] anniversary of D-Day. Nine of our volunteers spent 8 months researching for our D-Day Special Exhibition which opened in May and ran until the end of the year. The museum featured on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow’s D-Day Special, and appeared a further 9 times on local BBC and ITV news segments. On the 6[th] June we hosted a special event at the museum where attendees participated in a day of talks and tours of the museum’s stores, which culminated in handling the Hollis Victoria Cross medal group.

To mark the anniversary of D-Day we also worked with 21 local businesses to create a Victoria Cross themed family trail around Richmond and made 17 short videos for YouTube of all recipients of the Victoria Cross in the Green Howards Regiment. The museum researcher hosted several family history research days in the museum, gave a number of lectures on the subject of D-Day and recorded a podcast.

In September, we hosted our own version of the Antiques Roadshow – a Militaria Showcase. The day was a huge success, with visitors coming from all over the North of England.

Also this year, we worked with Richmond Town Council to create a new online exhibition that highlighted some of the silver collection belonging to the Town Council which is on permanent display at the museum.

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustee's Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

Museum Report (continued)

The collection grew in 2024 with 50 donors donating 382 individual objects and 155 individual photographs/albums. A total of 960 new records were added to the system.

Mid 2024 the Trust reviewed where the museum’s outreach work had been most effective. As a result, it was decided that going forward the Museum should focus it’s events and education programmes on the following three audiences: veterans, the elderly and children under 18 years of age. As a result we forged a new partnership with the Service Schools Champion for North Yorkshire Council and worked on a remembrance project. Research and handling workshops were delivered at the museum for pupils from 22 Yorkshire schools, both primary and secondary, with the students’ work being displayed at a Remembrance Service held at Ripon Cathedral.

The Head of Collections worked with North Yorkshire Council on a new project called “Out of the Box Learning”. Aimed at schools, the purpose is to raise the profile of object-led learning and signposts teachers to museums in their area and the services they offer to support their students’ learning. Several items from the Green Howards collection will feature on this new learning platform.

We hosted a wide variety of events, including a book launch, discovery days, a podcast, Richmond walking tours, private tours, family history days and a broad programme of lectures, both internal and external.

A grant was received from Museum Development North, to replace the exterior signage on the building; this work will be carried out in 2025. Maintenance work ,including restoring the stonework on the outside of the building and in the Normanby Room and re-decorating the exterior windows and doors, was carried out.

We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of all the staff and our volunteers, without whom we could not deliver the excellence we strive for .

Financial Review

The trust holds the majority of its assets in quoted investments and cash. The Trustees aim, over the medium term, is to set a budget that balances the income from investments, the income earned from the museum and fundraising with expenditure. Given the liquid nature of the investment assets the Trustees do not feel the need for a formal reserves policy.

The investments are managed on a discretionary basis by professional fund managers. The Trustees review the investment mandate annually and delegate monitoring of the management and performance to an investment sub-committee. The current mandate is to invest for growth.

The Trustees consider the main risks facing the trust to be:

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustee's Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

Financial review (continued)

The trust has a risk management strategy which identifies the risk to the trust under the following headings; strategic, operational, museum, financial, legal, compliance and governance. The museum also has an emergency plan.

For the year ended 31 December 2024 the museum has had incoming resources of £241,192, all of which have been unrestricted funds, whilst outgoing resources totalled £367,146, of which £44,493 related to restricted activities. The outgoing restricted funds relate solely to depreciation charge, on the capital acquisitions . For the year, after recognising the gains on investments, the museum had an overall surplus in funds of £24,032.

The trust had retained funds at the end of the financial year of £3,979,891, of which £437,840 related to restricted funds with the remaining £3,542,051 being unrestricted.

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Green Howards Trust Year ended 31 December 2024

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Green Howards Trust (the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of the report

As the Trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting Standard by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 Apiil 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 2011 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content af 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 financial statements to be reached.

These financial statements were approved by the board of Trustees and authorised for issue on 9th September 2025 and are signed on behalf of the board by:

Brig (Retd) Colthup CBE (Chairman) Trustee

The notes on page 12 form part of these financial statements.

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2024

1. General information

The Green Howards Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established by constitution and registered with the Charities Commission.

2. State of Compliance

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constituation, 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 (FRS102)"(as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)

The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.

3. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure exemptions

The Charity has taken advantage of the provision in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 update bulletin 1 not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on expeñence and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Heritage assets

It is the policy of the CIO not to capitalise heritage assets which compromise the Regimental Collection of medals. These are in effect inalienable, held in perpetuity, and are mostly irreplaceable. Any financially based valuation would be misleading to the value and significance of the material culture involved. The CIO has a clear duty of care for these assets and to make them available for the enjoyment and education of the public as far as possible, commensurate with their long term care and preservation. The highest possible standards of collection management are applied, and the catalogues are made available as widely as possible to facilitate all enquiries and requests for information, subject to appropriate security and data protection guidelines.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

3. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

3. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line Equipment 3 years straight line

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

The Green Howards Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2024

3. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Financial Instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

The charity does not use any financial instruments which are deemed to be non-basic.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
