The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The objects of the Trust are:

During the 2013 year the Charitable Trust received a gift, under a Deed of Appointment dated 5 July 2013, from the Alex Moulton Deceased Will Trust consisting of The Hall at Bradford on Avon, household and personal goods, land, properties, an investment portfolio and cash.

The Estate comprises of buildings dating from the 1610s through to the 1960s. The principal building is The Hall surrounded by c. 3.5 hectare Estate. Also within the Estate are stable blocks and drawing offices; terraced cottages; the Dovecote cottage; and three outside stone 'temples'. The Hall is a Grade I listed property dating from c. 1610 and it has been described as one of the most important buildings in England. The Terrace of the Hall is Grade II* listed, the Dovecote is Grade II listed and the Estate in its entirety is Grade II listed. The trustees consider that due to the history and architectural interest of the site, together with the historical and cultural significance of the artefacts connected with the industrial and engineering heritage of Bradford on Avon, the assets should be preserved for the future use and education of the general public.

The Trust's current aims are:

Significant activities

The charity is maintaining the heritage assets through a programme of issues reporting, risk identification and maintenance based on a prioritisation system. The Trust seeks to run the estate as an independent heritage site offering events, venue hire and education for visitors of all ages.

Public benefit

The charity trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and have followed this in planning and undertaking the activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charitable activity resources expended represent the costs incurred in maintaining and running The Hall and the grounds from the date the assets were donated to the Charitable Trust, with a view to ultimately enabling these assets to be utilised for awareness and education purposes for the public. Educational events and tours were continued throughout 2022. Access to educational materials was enabled via the archive collection with Swindon & Wiltshire Records Office. Preservation of the building and collection of objects in the Hall commenced with a cataloguing process for artefacts. Conservation and maintenance of the grounds.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trust maintains the Estate and does not receive external funding. Rental income is the main source of funds for the Trust. In 2022, the Trust had 5 residential tenants and 1 commercial tenant. The Trust continued events and venue hire which resulted in a regular flow of income.

The Trust ran a deficit budget in 2022 and currently does not generate enough income to meet the operational budget. The level of usable reserves £577,803 at 31 December 2022, which covers more than 12 months likely expenditure in the coming year (based on 2022 financial statements).

The trustees have identified a greater potential for an income stream via the launch of holiday rentals. Early financial viability study and planning consents have been sought to enable an income sufficient to clawback the reserves and recommence restoration of the estate in 2023.

The charity had net surplus for the year of £32,596 (2021: £96,776). Included within net income is £127,020 profit (2021: £141,000) on investments (this pertains to an increase in market valuation of heritage properties that are rented out rather than a cash gain and thus is not useable). The in-year deficit on general funds was £96,980 (2021: £50,272), relating to heritage asset maintenance and management costs in excess of the income raised from the charities investments and activities.

Reserves policy

The Trust manages reserves to ensure the smooth and effective running of the organisation, the financial health of the Trust and the ability to forward plan. The cash balances are held to develop and meet the charitable objectives of the charity. The trustees have implemented a new reserves policy (June 2022), which identified that reserves can be used to:

The Trust identified viable business models to improve income-generation to ensure the longevity of the Trust and continues this work into 2023, generating the required level of annual income to clawback and restore reserves. The Trust does not currently generate sufficient income to meet its operational needs. As such, the Trust runs a deficit budget and is using its reserves as above. The Trust currently holds sufficient reserves to operate for approximately 52 months.

Investment policy and objectives

The trustees maintain a portfolio of mixed motive investment properties that were part of the Estate left to the charity in 2013. These properties enable the charity to generate income but their illiquid nature do not contribute towards The Hall running costs. Furthermore, the properties have significant maintenance and repair requirements reducing their income-generating capability.

FUTURE PLANS

In 2021 A 5-year plan outlining the capital projects required to support visitors and other income streams, to become financially sustainable including public events, venue hire, and fundraising was produced.

The Trust has reviewed this plan and concluded that a visitor operation model will not generate sufficient income to support the financial liabilities of the Estate. The Estate incurs significant maintenance and repair costs. The Trust has identified a holiday let plan, thereby restoring and renovating rooms and cottages on the estate. Initial expenses and a draw on reserves is expected, 2023 with launch of the first phase planned in 2023. Expected ROI and income growth forecast for 2024.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the 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 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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The Alex Moulton is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales. During the year all the assets and liabilities of the former unincorporated charity (charity registration number 273158) were transferred over to this new CIO (charity registration number 1190082) which was set up on 24 June 2020.

The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are to apply resources for the purpose of maintaining and running The Hall Estate and Grounds.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable activities

Charitable activity costs represent the costs of running and maintaining the heritage assets.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight line basis over its expected useful life, which is six years for plant and machinery. Assets costing over £1,000 are capitalised.

Heritage assets

Heritage assets are assets of historical, artistic and scientific importance that are held to advance preservation, conservation and educational objectives.

Heritage assets are included at valuation at the date of addition.

No depreciation is charged on heritage assets on the basis that such depreciation is considered to be immaterial as the assets have an indefinite useful life and a high residual value.

Impairment reviews are carried out where considered appropriate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Social investments

Mixed motive investment properties are held to generate a return for the charity, but also contribute to the charity's wider heritage objectives. Mixed motive investments are stated at the trustee's best estimate of market value. No depreciation is charged on investment properties.

All changes in value in the year, whether or not realised, are reported in the gains and losses on investment assets in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Unrestricted designated funds have been set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted funds towards a specific purpose.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The objects of the Trust are:

During the 2013 year the Charitable Trust received a gift, under a Deed of Appointment dated 5 July 2013, from the Alex Moulton Deceased Will Trust consisting of The Hall at Bradford on Avon, household and personal goods, land, properties, an investment portfolio and cash.

The Estate comprises of buildings dating from the 1610s through to the 1960s. The principal building is The Hall surrounded by c. 3.5 hectare Estate. Also within the Estate are stable blocks and drawing offices; terraced cottages; the Dovecote cottage; and three outside stone 'temples'. The Hall is a Grade I listed property dating from c. 1610 and it has been described as one of the most important buildings in England. The Terrace of the Hall is Grade II* listed, the Dovecote is Grade II listed and the Estate in its entirety is Grade II listed. The trustees consider that due to the history and architectural interest of the site, together with the historical and cultural significance of the artefacts connected with the industrial and engineering heritage of Bradford on Avon, the assets should be preserved for the future use and education of the general public.

The Trust's current aims are:

Significant activities

The charity is maintaining the heritage assets through a programme of issues reporting, risk identification and maintenance based on a prioritisation system. The Trust seeks to run the estate as an independent heritage site offering events, venue hire and education for visitors of all ages.

Public benefit

The charity trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and have followed this in planning and undertaking the activities.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charitable activity resources expended represent the costs incurred in maintaining and running The Hall and the grounds from the date the assets were donated to the Charitable Trust, with a view to ultimately enabling these assets to be utilised for awareness and education purposes for the public. Educational events and tours were continued throughout 2022. Access to educational materials was enabled via the archive collection with Swindon & Wiltshire Records Office. Preservation of the building and collection of objects in the Hall commenced with a cataloguing process for artefacts. Conservation and maintenance of the grounds.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trust maintains the Estate and does not receive external funding. Rental income is the main source of funds for the Trust. In 2022, the Trust had 5 residential tenants and 1 commercial tenant. The Trust continued events and venue hire which resulted in a regular flow of income.

The Trust ran a deficit budget in 2022 and currently does not generate enough income to meet the operational budget. The level of usable reserves £577,803 at 31 December 2022, which covers more than 12 months likely expenditure in the coming year (based on 2022 financial statements).

The trustees have identified a greater potential for an income stream via the launch of holiday rentals. Early financial viability study and planning consents have been sought to enable an income sufficient to clawback the reserves and recommence restoration of the estate in 2023.

The charity had net surplus for the year of £32,596 (2021: £96,776). Included within net income is £127,020 profit (2021: £141,000) on investments (this pertains to an increase in market valuation of heritage properties that are rented out rather than a cash gain and thus is not useable). The in-year deficit on general funds was £96,980 (2021: £50,272), relating to heritage asset maintenance and management costs in excess of the income raised from the charities investments and activities.

Reserves policy

The Trust manages reserves to ensure the smooth and effective running of the organisation, the financial health of the Trust and the ability to forward plan. The cash balances are held to develop and meet the charitable objectives of the charity. The trustees have implemented a new reserves policy (June 2022), which identified that reserves can be used to:

The Trust identified viable business models to improve income-generation to ensure the longevity of the Trust and continues this work into 2023, generating the required level of annual income to clawback and restore reserves. The Trust does not currently generate sufficient income to meet its operational needs. As such, the Trust runs a deficit budget and is using its reserves as above. The Trust currently holds sufficient reserves to operate for approximately 52 months.

Investment policy and objectives

The trustees maintain a portfolio of mixed motive investment properties that were part of the Estate left to the charity in 2013. These properties enable the charity to generate income but their illiquid nature do not contribute towards The Hall running costs. Furthermore, the properties have significant maintenance and repair requirements reducing their income-generating capability.

FUTURE PLANS

In 2021 A 5-year plan outlining the capital projects required to support visitors and other income streams, to become financially sustainable including public events, venue hire, and fundraising was produced.

The Trust has reviewed this plan and concluded that a visitor operation model will not generate sufficient income to support the financial liabilities of the Estate. The Estate incurs significant maintenance and repair costs. The Trust has identified a holiday let plan, thereby restoring and renovating rooms and cottages on the estate. Initial expenses and a draw on reserves is expected, 2023 with launch of the first phase planned in 2023. Expected ROI and income growth forecast for 2024.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Alex Moulton Charitable Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the 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 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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The Alex Moulton is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales. During the year all the assets and liabilities of the former unincorporated charity (charity registration number 273158) were transferred over to this new CIO (charity registration number 1190082) which was set up on 24 June 2020.

The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are to apply resources for the purpose of maintaining and running The Hall Estate and Grounds.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable activities

Charitable activity costs represent the costs of running and maintaining the heritage assets.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight line basis over its expected useful life, which is six years for plant and machinery. Assets costing over £1,000 are capitalised.

Heritage assets

Heritage assets are assets of historical, artistic and scientific importance that are held to advance preservation, conservation and educational objectives.

Heritage assets are included at valuation at the date of addition.

No depreciation is charged on heritage assets on the basis that such depreciation is considered to be immaterial as the assets have an indefinite useful life and a high residual value.

Impairment reviews are carried out where considered appropriate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Social investments

Mixed motive investment properties are held to generate a return for the charity, but also contribute to the charity's wider heritage objectives. Mixed motive investments are stated at the trustee's best estimate of market value. No depreciation is charged on investment properties.

All changes in value in the year, whether or not realised, are reported in the gains and losses on investment assets in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Unrestricted designated funds have been set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted funds towards a specific purpose.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
