NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2022, which incorporates the directors’ report as required by company law.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, 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 (FRS102)", and relevant accounting standards.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

In last year’s statement, I described 2020 as a year like no other. We began 2021 unable to open until April, and saw visitor numbers begin tentatively before picking up better in the high summer months. In all we welcomed 110,000 through our doors over the calendar year – a little over half of what we would have expected pre-pandemic. We are enormously grateful to the funding support that we received during the year from the National Lottery Recovery Fund, the New Forest District Council Continuity Grant and the National Heritage Continuity Grant.

This was a year for re-grouping and re-setting for the future.

Library and Collection

Our objectives for the year were to consolidate the outcomes of the E-cademy/New Forest Knowledge project by recruiting a new member of staff to assist with all aspects of our collections management. This we did via the Kickstart scheme, and through the support of a generous private donor, resulting in the appointment of a young local person, new to the heritage sector, whom we hope to support and train to become a long term career professional.

Café

Last year we reported the creation of our own café and this opened for the first time in May. Run by our trading subsidiary and intended to generate a new income stream for the charity, the venture had a good first year, turning over £91,000, employing local people and selling New Forest produce as much as possible.

Learning

We restarted our education programme, employing a new Head of Learning and piloting several activities identified as opportunities in the Learning Review that we commissioned in 2020.

Staffing

During the year our Centre Manager left us after a productive term of office, steering us through such a difficult period. Our Collections & Engagement Manager, Dr Kath Walker, was appointed to the Centre Manager role and Armand de Filippo was appointed to Collections & Engagement. Sadly, only a few months later, after 5 very successful years with us during which she achieved so much, Kath decided to move on to a new Directorship elsewhere. A successful recruitment process was launched at the year end, which has subsequently seen Angus Harley appointed the new Centre Manager.

Future Plans

For many organisations such as ours, the pandemic has precipitated fresh perspectives on our vision for the future. We remain very firmly focused on delivering on the objectives that our founders set out in 1979, namely “to provide a centre where local residents and visitors can discover more about the New Forest, its history, its customs, its people, its wildlife and its future”. To deliver this, we need be sure we are delivering a ‘product’ which is what the community, and those who come from further away, want. We have a completely unique collection of books and objects with which to tell so many New Forest stories and our focus is now to place this collection at the centre of everything we do.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

We own our premises, we own our intellectual property, we have a good team, and an engaged Board of Trustees. This a sound basis from which to recover well from a difficult two years.

Mary Montagu-Scott DL, Chair of Trustees

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

In undertaking the activities of the last twelve months, the Trustees of the New Forest Heritage Trust (the Trust) have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities should be undertaken. Through adherence to the main aims of the current Business Plan 2018-22 and the fulfilment of its objectives the Trust has diligently and purposefully fulfilled its obligations.

The Trust’s principal activity remains that of running a museum and reference library for the benefit of all members of the public. Through these resources and the provision of interpretative and educational activities, the Trust aims to inspire its visitors to celebrate and conserve the New Forest.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Re-development

We continue to aim for a re-development of the Centre incorporating a new museum space, gift shop and first floor mezzanine to expand the library area. Our draft Business Plan written to succeed the 2018-21 Plan was written early in the year and was predicated on a swift post Covid return of visitor numbers to the New Forest and our Centre. The financial model showed how a re-development would elevate the pre-Covid visitor level substantially following a modernisation, and with it, increased donations and spend on our shop and cafe. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, visitor numbers are still 25-30% down on pre-Covid levels. This has caused us to re-evaluate our masterplan, and this is a process that we are presently undertaking.

Learning

At the time of writing, a Learning Plan is on the point of adoption and our Head of Learning is making excellent progress with a number of new initiatives.

Retail shop and Café

The Heritage Centre like all free to enter museums relies on our fundraising activities and the financial contribution from our shop and cafe.

The Shop continued to generate a profit despite reduced visitor numbers and the staff continue to help visitors as much as possible with tourist information type enquiries in the absence of a Council or National Park Authority provision.

The café’s encouraging first 7 months of direct operation were sufficient to demonstrate what an important part of the overall visitor experience it can become. We will be exploring a number of ideas to help this new enterprise generate profits to help fund the Trust’s activities.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

Christopher Tower Reference Library

There are a number of little known facts about our special Library:

Collections

Our new Collections & Engagement Manager has focused his attention on an audit of our storage and conservation care procedures and also to forward plan for our application for museum reaccreditation. We have also started to consider our future collections management system needs due to our present software nearing the end of its supported life. The degree to which we can give greater access to our collections is a central pillar of our future activities.

Fundraising

We are always grateful to all those funds and foundations who support us (as listed elsewhere in the financial statements) and to our visitors who so generally demonstrate their appreciation of us through small but meaningful individual donations.

Future plans

The slow recovery of visitor confidence following the pandemic continues to give rise to uncertainty but we remain confident in our team of staff and Trustees and continue to focus on our primary aspirations, which are to:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The total incoming resources for the year were £533,134 (2021: £560,242), a decrease of 5%.

The charity itself has a net surplus for the year of £30,102 (2021: £221,151). On consolidation, having allowed for the amortisation of assets held by the trading subsidiary, there was an overall surplus of £26,909 (2021: £180,304).

The charity's wholly owned subsidiary, New Forest Museum Trading Limited, made a loss of £1,993 (2021: £15,463) in the year.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

Reserves Policy

The Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Accounting and Reporting by Charities defines reserves as income which becomes available to the charity and is to be spent at the Trustees’ discretion in furtherance of any of the charity’s objects, but which is not yet spent, committed or designated. This definition of reserves therefore excludes restricted and designated funds and income funds which could only be realised by disposing of fixed assets held for charity use.

Unrestricted reserves are held for three specific reasons:

  1. To protect the charity in the event of a loss of trading income for a period of up to six months

  2. To safeguard the charity from an unexpected but essential one-off cost

  3. To provide sufficient funds to enable the charity to be able to pay both salary and overhead costs for a period of six months.

The level of reserves should be sufficient to cover just one of these purposes rather than any combination. This would require a reserves sum of £150,000.

At 31 January 2022 the charity has consolidated unrestricted funds amounting to £449,195 with free reserves of £272,496. Whilst this exceeds the target level, it is considered reasonable in the light of the recent Covid-19 pandemic.

The charity’s reserves policy will continue to be reviewed on an annual basis.

Investment policy

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and consider that a mix of quoted investments and cash meets its requirement to generate both income and capital growth. The charity engages a firm of investment managers to oversee its portfolio of quoted investments. The investment managers have been made aware of the aims of the charity and no investments held will contradict those aims. The investment managers manage a diversified portfolio of suitable investments on a discretionary basis.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The charity was established by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 24 January 2019 as amended by a Resolution dated 29 October 2019 and is registered with the Charity Commission.

Recruitment of Trustees and administration

There shall be a maximum of twelve and minimum of six Trustees. New Trustees shall be appointed at meetings of the Trustees properly called in accordance with clause 18 of the Charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Induction and training of trustees is provided as required.

The day to day management of the Trust is undertaken by the Centre Manager.

Employee remuneration is set taking account of the salary guidelines published by the Museums Association.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

Group Structure and Relationships

The charity has a wholly owned non-charitable subsidiary, New Forest Museum Trading Limited, whose activities and performance is discussed above.

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity. Risks, especially those relating to the operations and finances of the Charity, are identified, assessed and controls are established on an ongoing basis and reviewed annually. The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Responsibilities of the Trustees

The trustees, who are also the directors of The New Forest Heritage Trust for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

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

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2022 which are set out on pages 8 to 28.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

New Forest Heritage Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee and established under a Memorandum and Articles of Association and registered with Companies House and the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The principal address is New Forest Museum, Lyndhurst, Hampshire, SO43 7NY. The charity is a public benefit entity.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investments which are included at market value.

The 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 (FRS102)", the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

Although the Trust remains highly dependent on grants and donations whose renewal is not certain, the Trustees consider it appropriate for these accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis given the Trust’s current financial position.

1.3 Incoming resources

Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included when receivable.

Legacies are recognised when there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Where services are provided to the charity as a donation, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.

Government grants relate to claims made under the coronavirus job retention scheme and are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the same period as the costs to which they relate.

All other income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Incoming resources from endowment funds are restricted.

Income on sales of goods made by the trading subsidiary is recognised at the point of sale.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.4 Resources expended

Resources expended are recognised in the period when the liability is incurred and include attributable VAT where it is not recoverable. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories in the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.

Charitable expenditure includes costs associated with the delivery of its activities and services. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them (see note 9).

Governance costs include those costs primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the costs of audit or independent examination and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are allocated between categories of expenditure (see note 10).

1.5 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are those which the charity is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of its charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.

Designated funds are set aside by the Trustees out of the unrestricted funds for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are those which are to be used in accordance with the specific restriction imposed by the donors or fundraising appeal. Details of each restricted fund can be found in note 23.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.

Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation unless otherwise stated below. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold buildings Not depreciated Equipment, furniture and display 25% straight line Library, paintings and artefacts Not depreciated Trading subsidiary Leasehold property Over the term of the lease Office equipment 33% straight line Fixtures and equipment 25% reducing balance

Buildings

No depreciation is provided in respect of freehold buildings. The trustees consider that the buildings are maintained to a high standard such that the residual value is sufficiently high for any depreciation charge to be immaterial. The trustees undertake an annual impairment review to confirm that there is no material impairment to freehold buildings.

Library, paintings and artefacts

No depreciation is provided on paintings, artefacts and books forming the Trust's library as the Trustees consider that due to their long life they maintain their value and that any element of depreciation would be immaterial.

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.7 Intangible fixed assets

Website expenditure is capitalised as an intangible fixed asset where it is expected that economic benefit will flow from the asset, and depreciated on a straight line basis over its estimated useful economic life which is considered to be 5 years.

1.8 Heritage assets

The charity holds heritage assets which are tangible assets of historical, artistic or scientific importance that are held to advance the preservation and conservation objectives of the Charity. Newly purchased heritage assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Where heritage assets were acquired in past accounting periods and not capitalised, it can be difficult or costly to attribute a value to them. In such cases, these assets are excluded from the balance sheet if reliable cost information is not available and conventional valuation approaches lack sufficient reliability or significant costs are involved in the reconstruction or analysis of past accounting records or in valuation, which are onerous compared with the additional benefit derived by users of the accounts in assessing the Trustees' stewardship of the assets.

The very long expected lives of the heritage assets, due to their nature, value and need to be protected and preserved means that depreciation is not material and is, therefore, not provided.

The heritage assets are postcards which are available for public access either through the Museum and Library or by appointment.

1.9 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is calculated on a FIFO basis.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

1.11 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Trust has a present obligation resulting from a past event that is likely to result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand,deposits held at call with banks, other short term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.13 Financial instruments

The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.14 Pensions

The Trust and its subsidiary operate a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the financial statements as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

1.15 Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease on a straight line basis.

1.16 Investments

Investments are held as fixed assets. The interest in the subsidiary undertaking is stated at cost less provision for diminution in value. Other investments are included on the balance sheet at market value. Changes in the market value of investments between financial years are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as unrealised gains and losses. Profits and losses made on the sale of investments in the year are shown as realised gains and losses in the Statement of Financial Activities. Interest on cash deposited with banks and investment management companies is included in investment income in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.17 Group accounts

These financial statements consolidate the results of the Trust and its wholly owned subsidiary, New Forest Museum Trading Limited, on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities for the Trust itself is not presented.

2 Key estimates and judgements

The trustees consider that there are no material areas of judgement or estimation uncertainty.

Explanation for adjustment

The 2021 comparative information has been adjusted to take account of the removal of the endowment fund. The endowment had been incorrectly classified as expendable in prior years and on reclassification has been removed from the accounts as charitable companies cannot hold permanent endowments.

As at 31 January 2022 the group had outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases, which fall due as follows:

The activities and charitable purpose remain the same as those of the unincorporated charity. As permitted under the Charities SORP, the transfer was accounted for last year using merger accounting.
