NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2023, 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 our continuing recovery from the effects of COVID-19 we welcomed over 144,000 visitors to the Heritage Centre.

Our library and collections activities were given the boost of news that we had been awarded a coveted Esmee Fairbairn Foundation grant (supported with additional funds from Arts Council England and South East Museums Development) for a digital and outreach project called Embroidered Tales. We ended the year with recruitment processes underway for a Project Lead for this project and – most importantly – for our first professionally qualified Archivist to oversee the development of, and greater accessibility to, the Christopher Tower library.

Our shop turnover was the most positive since pre-pandemic and, in May, we were delighted to be able to celebrate a first full year directly operating our café.

Our Learning Team facilitated education and outreach workshops and activities for 7,111 people across a programme of formal and informal formats.

This is a solid base from which to progress our organisational objectives.

Little of what we do would be possible without the support of a number of consistently generous funds, foundations and other grant making bodies listed in the following accounts. Thank you to all of you.

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.

Mary Montagu-Scott DL, Chair of Trustees

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW FOREST HERITAGE TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023

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 2023 the charity has consolidated unrestricted funds amounting to £333,143.

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 thirteen 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.

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity.

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 2023 which are set out on pages 5 to 26.

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.

All costs are allocated be￿een 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 servI￿s. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary lo support them Isee note 71. Governance costs include those costs primarily associated with conslitulional and slatulory requirements of the charity and include the costs of audit or independent examination and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governan￿ costs are allocated bel￿een categories of expenditure (see note 81. 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 sel aside by the Trustees out of the unrestricted funds for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are those which are lo 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 22. 1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capilalised. Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are staled at cost or valuation less depreciation unless otherwise slated below. Depreciation is provided al rates calculated lo write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows". Freehold buildings Equipment, furniture and display Library, paintings and artefacls Not depreciated 25°/o Straight line Not depreciated Tradin subsidia Leasehold propety Office equipment Fixtures and equipment Over the term of the lease 330/0 Straight line 250/0 reducing balance Buildings No depreciation is provided in respect of freehold buildings. The Iruslees consider that the buildings are maintained lo a high stsndard such that the residual value is sufficiently high for any depreciation charge to be immaterial. The Iruslees undertake an annual impairment review lo confirm that there is no material impairment lo freehold buildings. Library, paintings and artefacls No depreciation is provided on paintings, artefacls and books forming the Trust's library as the Trustees consider that due lo their long life they maintain their value and that any element of depreciation would be immaterial.

Newty purchased heritage assets are capilalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Where heritage assets were acquired in past accounting periods and not capitalised, il can be difficult or costly to allribute 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 al 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 lo result in the transfer of funds to a third paty, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or eslimaled reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised al 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.

The interest in the subsidiary undertaking is ststed al cost less provision for diminution in value. Interest on cash deposited with banks and investment management companies is included in investment income in the Statement of Financial Aclivilies. 1.17 Group accounts These financial statements consolidate the results of the Trust and ils 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. Key estimates and judgements In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, the trustees are reqUI￿d to make judgements, eslimales and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that not readily apparent from other sources. The eslimales and associated assumptions are based on historical experien￿ and other factors that are considered lo be relevant. Actual results may differ from these eslimales. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions lo accounting eslimales are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
