TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS102) in preparing the annual financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity 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 and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019 (second edition).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Charity Status and Structure

Selsey Pavilion Trust ("the Charity”) is a charitable incorporated organisation governed by its constitution registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 7 February 2017. The trustees are the members of the Charity.

Recruitment, Appointment end Training of Trustees

Trustees are recruited from those who share the Charity's aims and aspirations and who bring a breadth and depth of experience and skills to the trustee body. Prior to appointment trustees are briefed on the Charity's activities and complete Fit and Proper Person forms and Declarations of Interests. Trustees are given appropriate training both to understand their responsibilities as trustees and to maintain their knowledge.

Risk Management

The trustees identify the major risks to which they believe the Charity is exposed and put in place systems to minimise those risks.

Governance

The overall responsibility for the Charity rests with the trustees who endeavour in all they do to apply the Charity Governance Code and the Nolan principles (selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership). Furthermore, believing that corruption, bribery and unfair actions hamper development and impede progress they insist on integrity in all aspects of the Charity's activities.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity's objects are:

The provision and maintenance of Selsey Pavilion for the use of the inhabitants of Selsey without
distinction of political, religious or other opinions including use for (a) meetings, lectures and classes and (b) other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.
The promotion of art for the benefit of the public by assisting in and supporting the provision of arts activities.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The highlight of 2023 was the purchase of the Selsey Pavilion freehold on 27th February 2024. This milestone was made possible through substantial grants received during 2023 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Garfield Weston Foundation, and the Swire Trust. These funds enabled us to acquire the freehold for £400,000, the market value determined by the RICS ‘Red Book’ valuation commissioned in 2022 and verified in 2023. The funding also provides a budget for urgent repairs to make the Pavilion watertight, safe, and secure, in line with the Phase 1 architectural plans developed in 2022 by Foster Wilson Size.

Financial Review

Selsey Pavilion Trust was awarded several significant grants during the year, following a £299,400 grant in 2022 from the Community Ownership Fund. These included £249,405 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, £50,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation, and £24,000 from the Swire Trust.

Of the £249,405 awarded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, £148,000 was received in the year and allocated directly toward the purchase of the Pavilion and paid via our solicitors. The remainder comprises a mix of capital and revenue funding, as outlined in our application and grant agreement.
The £50,000 grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation also contributed to the purchase.
The £24,000 grant from the Swire Trust to be used for refurbishment efforts.

Income from print sales was marginal throughout the year, and no other significant donations were received.

Unrestricted reserves at 31[st] March 2024 were in a surplus of £425,096. Of this £441,818 are in capital funds which leaves year end unrestricted ‘free’ reserves in a deficit of £16,723. Restricted reserves were at a surplus of £61,064. Unrestricted donations received in April 2024 will bolster unrestricted reserves, bringing them into a surplus.

Fundraising

Fundraising efforts in 2023 were focused entirely on securing the Pavilion’s purchase. This was critical to meeting the requirement to match the Community Ownership Fund grant by 15th March 2024 to retain the funding.

Reserves policy

Selsey Pavilion Trust have developed a reserve policy taking into consideration the following:

A minimum level of reserves that would allow the Charity to close down in a controlled and responsible way;
A level that would keep the mission-critical work on the road;
The level required to support the strategic plan effectively;
As a general rule it is assumed that recommended reserves of between six and twelve months’ running costs should be maintained.

To this end the Selsey Pavilion Trust will maintain a reserve level of £1,000.

Plans for Future Periods

With the Pavilion’s freehold now secured, the project moves into its next phase: essential repairs to ensure the building is watertight, safe, and secure for public use in 2025.

TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

We report the trustees on our examination of the accounts of Selsey Pavilion Trust (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts as required 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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
that accounts do not accord with those records; or
that 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 the 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and 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 issued in October 2019 (Charities SORP FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention (see note 15), and are presented in sterling. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates :

Land & Buildings

2% of cost

The charity have opted to depreciate the building using the cost model. It is estimated to have a useful life of 50 year and based on professional guidance the residual value is estimated to be £300,000.

Building Improvements - Structural 2% of cost Equipment 10% of cost

Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has legal entitlement to the income, when there is sufficient certainty of receipt and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised upon receipt and classified at that point as either unrestricted or restricted if the donation is for a specific purpose. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been listed under headings that aggregate all the costs related to that activity, including support and governance costs. Where costs cannot be directly attributed they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable activity expenditure are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and include expenditure directly associated with individual projects and support costs relating to those activities.
