Aims and Objectives

The promotion for the benefit of the public of urban or rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation (and in particular St Radigunds, Tower Hamlets, Buckland and in the region of Dover as a whole) by all or any of the following means:

The advancement of education, training or retraining particularly amongst unemployed people and providing unemployed people with work experience;
The creation of training and employment opportunities by the provision of workspace, buildings, and/or land for use on favourable terms;
The provision of housing for those who are in conditions of need and the improvement of housing in the public sector or in charitable ownership provided that such power shall not extend to relieving any local authorities or other bodies of a statutory duty to provide or improve housing.

Structure, Governance and Management

The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered with the Charity Commission on 4 January 2017. It was briefly a company limited by guarantee established 21 December 2016, prior to gaining charitable status. This company was dissolved and its assets transferred to the CIO.

Start up funding of £350,000 to LoveDover was provided without conditions by Dover Town Council. The first tranche of funding was used to purchase 7 Market Square, Dover.

The charity trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. No expenses have been paid. LoveDover is particularly grateful to Nigel Bodell, without whom the regeneration of 7 Market Square would not have been possible and to Simon Crowley, John Lamoon and Neil Rix for their professional help and advice to the board during this year again.

The Board of Trustees has been unable to meet face-to- face since March of 2020 but has continued to conduct business by electronic means and has continued to involve itself in the business and development of Dover.

The expenditure for the year 2019-20 was £19,061.

Future Plans

Following the successful sale of the apartment on the upper floors of 7 Market Square and the continued occupation of the lower floors’ commercial premises, the trustees continue to explore avenues for

future funding of further regeneration in the town centre. Trustees are exploring the opportunities for a funding partnership which would enable further regeneration work to be done In Dover. The sale of the leasehold apartment allowed interest free loans from trustees to the charity of £90,000 to be repaid. The CIO is extremely grateful to the trustees who were generous with their own personal finances.

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees has reviewed the risks to which the charity might be exposed and there is a risk register, which is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems and procedures are in place to mitigate risks.

Internal controls are in place with a procurement policy and financial regulations which are adhered to for all transactions. All policies and procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to meet the needs of the charity in its current operational environment.

The Board is required by law to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable incorporated organisation. In doing so the Board of trustees of LoveDover have:-

Followed best practice;
Selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently;
Made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
Prepared the financial statements on the basis of LoveDover being an ongoing concern.

In accordance with the law, as the charity’s trustees, we certify that so far as we aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the independent examiners are unaware; and we have taken all the steps possible to make ourselves aware of the relevant audit information and to establish that the CIO’s independent examiners are aware of that information.

Evans and Evans Ltd have been appointed as LoveDover’s independent examiners for this period and we are grateful for their services.

Approved by the Board of Trustees of LoveDover on 27th June 2021 and signed on their behalf by Barry Rolfe and Allison Burton.
