TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2021

The trustees have pleasure in presenting this report for the year ended 30 September 2021, which has been prepared in accordance with the charitable deed and the recommendations of the Statement of Recommeded Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities and complies with applicable law.

The attached accounts are prepared under the "Linking by Uniting Direction" procedure agreed with the Charity Commissioners incorporating the John Phillips Millennium Green Trust for Part VI (accounting) of the Charities Act 2012, which does not remove the separate legal nature of the Millennium Green Trust, the assets of which are only administered on a special trust basis.

Governing Instrument

The Romney Charity

The charity's objects and regulations are governed by charitable deed and the Charities Act 2012. The objects of the charity are given by deed of 1814 and the now amended scheme of 1830, whereby the trustees (Feoffees) are empowered to use the assets under their control for the general benefit of the people of Tetbury. These objects include, in particular, the advancement of education, the relief of poverty and the provision and maintenance of the open areas, recreational spaces and other properties owned by the charity.

The John Phillips Millennium Green Trust

The trust's objects and regulations are governed by the charitable deed and the Charities Act 2012, the main aim being to provide informal leisure amenities for the people of Tetbury.

Principal Policies to Achieve Objectives

It is the aim of the common trustees of both charities to maximise the use of the assets and income under their control, for the benefit of the residents of Tetbury, in full accordance with the specified objects of the respective charities.

Review of Activities

The Romney Charity

the maximum benefits for the local communities, whilst increasing their grant aid to help both individuals and organisations, improvements are also carried out on the estate properties to provide amenity areas for use and enjoyment by residents and visitors alike. The charities income increased on 2020, however are not yet back to prepandemic levels due. Rentals and market house income did not fully recover in the year due to the ongoing Covid 19 restrictions.

Investment income remains strong and actually higher than previously reported in recent years. Despite the pandemic the current cash position is healthy and should allow charitable activities to continue for the short to mid-term. A detailed summary of our annual results is outlined below and more details of the charities activities can be obtained from our website.

Income for the year was £70,242 (2020 £63,350).

Investment income (+ £389) Market house income (-£3,133) Rental income (£6,794) Other (£836)

THE ROMNEY CHARITY (TETBURY CHARITY ESTATE)

(Incorporating the John Phillips Millennium Green Trust) TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2021

Expenditure reduced for the second consecutive year to £45k, due to three main factors; i) Less grants were applied for from the charity in the period, ii) maintenance costs remained low, with no large projects required and iii) Covid restrictions meant lower upkeep eg market house cleaning etc.

The John Phillips Millennium Green Trust

The Green is still retained as an informal leisure area for public use and community activities. The charity has no regular income and is maintained by grant aid from The Romney Charity which has agreed to maintain these funding arrangements for the foreseeable future. Operating costs for this current year amounted to £2,809 (2020: £3,140). Costs incurred were met from opening cash reserves and grant funding of £3,000 received from The Romney Charity in the year.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2021

Investment Policy

The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing surplus funds and will continue to use the COIF Charities Investment Fund as the primary source to generate future income and capital growth for the benefit of each charity.

Reserves Policy

The Romney Charity

The unrestricted reserves of the charity are represented by the balance sheet value of the net current assets as follows:-

Total net current assets:-
Less: Capital value of Lewis Memorial Fund
Net unrestricted reserves

297,717
250,853
(1,000)
(1,000)
296,717
249,853

The trustees aim to retain permanent reserves equating to an estimated full years normal expenditure requirement plus a restoration reserve (£50,000) to cover unforeseen and essential renovation expenditure required to maintain the transfer further funds between the current account and COIF Charities Investment Fund. Although this transfer will not reduce the total unrestricted reserves, it will improve future income which in turn will be invested in local good causes. The reserve levels continue to be reviewed at least annually.

The John Phillips Millennium Green Trust

In accordance with the linking procedure, the total reserves of £15,349 are shown as restricted reserves on the face of the balance sheet and form no part of the unrestricted reserves of The Romney Charity.

Risk Management

The trustees continue to assess the major risks to which both charities are exposed and aim to mitigate exposure to such risks

Reporting Accountants

The reporting accountants. McGills have expressed their willingness to remain in office and a resolution for their reappointment will be made at the next general meeting.

Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005). Under the ''linking by uniting direction'' procedure, the transactions, assets and liabilities of the Millennium Green Trust are now separately identified, with the relevant comparatives shown.

Fund account

The fund account is prepared on a receipts and payments basis except where a material accrual or prepayment exists in relation to the year under review.

Taxation

The charity has been approved tax exempt status by HM Revenue & Customs.

Depreciation

Depreciation has been provided so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets less residual value over the estimated useful economic life as follows:

Fixtures & Fittings 15% straight line Fixed Plant & Machinery 5% straight line

Land and property are carried at valuation and any revaluation changes are stated in the notes on fixed assets with movements shown as adjustments to the accumulated fund in the year in which they occur. No depreciation is provided as the trustees are of the opinion that the normal residual value is such that the depreciation charge is considered immaterial.
