This has been amended by Order of Charity Commission dated 12[th] February 2004, by a Trustees’ resolution on 8[th] October 2012, and by Memorandum of Amendments dated 15[th] July 2015. ## **STRUCTURE OF THE TRUST** ## 1) **Background** The Trust was incorporated on 28[th] March 1890 as the successor Organisation to the Bailiff and Burgesses. The Charity Commissioners have regulated the Trust throughout its existence, and agreed that 9 Trustees should run the Trust with 5 being nominees of the Parish (now Town) Council and 4 by co-options. The relationship during the 120+ years between the Trust and the Council had been difficult with many conflicts of interest. ## 2) **Current Position** Consequently on 15th July 2015 the Trust with the agreement of the Town Council and approval of Charity Commission has amended the Governing Document in several Key areas :- - a. Introducing a scheme of membership whereby residents mainly in the SO24 area can join the Trust for a ‘one off’ payment of £5.00 and 130 Members have so far signed up. - b. Allowing the members to elect up to 5 Trustees every 4 years commencing at AGM on 23rd February 2017. Details of all the three Memorandum of Amendments are set out on the Trust’s website, together with the covering letter from the Charity Commission. ## **OBJECTS OF THE TRUST** The preservation of land, trees, Buildings and documents in New Alresford and such other charitable purposes for the general benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of New Alresford. The other charitable purposes currently are the restoration of the Eel House, the Arthur Stowell History Fund, the Alresford Museum, Emergency Funding for deserving cases and the Community Minibus. 3 ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** The Trust, which is an independent charity, has carried out its objectives under Clause 22 of the Trust Deed by providing public benefit to the local Community, particularly the residents of New Alresford (see below). ## **PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES** The Trust’s principal activities in New Alresford are:- - Operating a local Community Minibus - Running markets in Broad Street. - Ownership of the Old Fire Station. - Maintaining The Avenue and Trees in Broad Street. - Administering the Arthur Stowell History Fund. - Operating a 99 year Lease on the Eel House and finalising its restoration. - Setting up and operating the Alresford Museum. - Emergency Funding for deserving cases, including Covid. ## **TRUSTEES** The following Trustees served during the year as follows: Robin Atkins Co-opted Trustee throughout the year. Roy Gentry Members Trustee elected 23/02/2017. Dorothy Hamilton Co-opted Trustee throughout the year. Ernest Jeffs Co-opted Trustee from 15/08/2018.

The Trust is classified as a smaller charity and so the Financial Statements require only independent examination, which has been performed by Mr H Sethi, F.C.C.A.

The Avenue represents the Key feature to the western entrance of the Town and contains some 114 Trees, which are subject to Preservation Orders. Although the individual trees have long lives they still need care and attention until they die. The Trustees had set up a Sinking Fund for tree work needed to keep the continuance of The Avenue. The balance at 31[st] December 2020 was £21,747. Following the detailed review of each Avenue tree in 2017, major work was highlighted and the Trustees spent the sum of £14.8K in years 2017 – 2019. ## **Museum** The Trust took over the defunct “Alresford and District Museum Trust” on 17[th] November 2011 with the object of continuing to acquire local artefacts and documents and the eventual objective of finding suitable premises to exhibit and display the material in the Town Centre. Since November 2011 the Trust has spent nearly £7,000 in acquiring artefacts and documents as well as finding 400 items of archaeological interest in fields adjacent to Alresford. We will keep expanding the number of artefacts and documents. The Trustees and its tenant, Artworthy Framing, agreed a new 12 year Lease in respect of the Old Fire Station from 1[st] January 2020, whereby the Trustees would occupy 2 rooms behind the Red Doors, and the tenant would use the remaining half of the building. During 2019 the Trustees have used its room as a Museum for the old horse drawn Fire engine and artefacts. The cost of converting this room to a Museum Room was £13,764. It was first opened to the public on 15[th] September 2018. The Trustees expanded the Museum area from January 2020 onwards into the second room. Further costs of converting this area amounted to nearly £23000. Due to the Covid pandemic the Museum had only one open day on 27[th] September. ## **Eel House** The Trust has been granted an initial Licence to catch Eels for Educational and Scientific reasons. We intend to test the number of eels by initiating sessions to trap eels in future years. The Trust carried out extensive repairs to the brickwork of the culvert arches during 2020 and the wooden bridge and walkway on the upstream side of the building were replaced. 6 ## **ACTIVITIES 2019** ## **FINANCE AND RESERVES** The Trust has adopted a policy of medium financial risk with the majority of its current assets being invested on a short term basis or with COIF Charity Funds which currently give a better dividend return than cash invested. (see Note 5). The Trust has no debt. The Sinking Fund stands at £21,747 and will be built up to £50K during the next 20 years. The General Fund stands at £88.4K and is adequate to cover the future activities and any future Capital projects. The Accounts reflect the unrealised gains shown by revaluations as at 31[st] December 2020 of £206,646 as set out in Note 7. ## **MINIBUSES** The Trust has two Minibuses having acquired a new Minibus in April 2017 for £58,454 (see Note 2(c)). The old Minibus was restored in June 2017 and will continue to be run at least until December 2021. The Minibus fares are based on donations which are at suggested rates well below commercial fares and consequently relies heavily on receipt of outside Grants (see Note 10), Gift Aid and Interest allocation. ## OPERATIONS |Net Operational Receipts

The Minibus Fund stands at £116,491 of which £30,000 is deemed to be permanent Capital. ## **MARKET & FAIR TOLL** Covid has severely curtailed the Thursday market resulting in total income dropping to £3855. There was a French market in early August and a Brocante market in September bringing in further income of £600 taking the total market income to £4455. Furthermore there was no Watercress Festival or Michaelmas Fair during the year. 7 ## **EEL HOUSE** The Eel House carried out extensive capital work on strengthening the arches and structure which was completed in August 2020 at a total cost of some £25,000. ## **THE AVENUE** NATC agreed in 2010 to cut the grass on The Avenue and be responsible for costs of Arboricultural surveys every 4 years. In early 2016 NATC withdrew their financial support on these matters. As a consequence the Trust sought other finances which have been received as follows: |Sponsorship

The Friends Scheme involved payments of £25 per household per annum. 22 households renewed their contribution in 2020. The contributors are listed below:- Robin Atkins; Mr & Mrs M Clayton; Simon Rickets; Catherine Brill; Mr & Mrs G Andrews; Charles Bazlinton; Mrs Jennifer Clelland; Dave Stow; Peter Bridges; Mrs J M Parker; Mr Roger Lockyer; Dorothy Hamilton; Felicity Dwyer; Gemma Allen; Mr & Mrs G Hand; Mrs. Hughes-Onslow; Mr & Mrs A. Canning; Roger Pearson: Barry Aked; Julia Maxwell-Tomlinson; Alicia Salter; Reginald Simmons. Expenditure on The Avenue for the year was £5910. ## **MUSEUM** As we came into 2020 we had finished the demolition work that would allow us to double the available space for the Museum and we were contemplating the re-construction and restoration work that lay ahead to bring the new area into use. At that time we anticipated having our first open day of 2020 at Easter and therefore had three months intensive work in front of us. Things went pretty much to plan and come the middle of March we were about two weeks behind schedule. Then came the lockdown which slowed things down but by the middle of May we had finished the necessary work and we handed over the premises to a builder to complete the refurbishment of the kitchen and toilet area. During this period the big red doors were removed and have now been rebuilt and re-painted. The work was completed by the beginning of September and following some ‘spring’ cleaning we were able to open for our first, and what turned out to be our only, open day on the 27[th] . Despite the limited Covid restrictions the day was a success and we received many compliments on our new look. 8 Following the Open Day we acquired an A1 plan cupboard, for storing large documents and small artefacts, and were given two cabinets, thanks to the Farm Shop, which have been refurbished to house the Alresford Crafts dolls and soft-toys. During the year we have continued to acquire artefacts and photographs but our metal detecting activities, covering sites in Alresford, has been curtailed. We continue to look for sites to explore in and around Alresford that will add to our knowledge. We are looking forward to an exciting year, hopefully less constrained by Covid restrictions, and we are looking for people who can assist us in this endeavour. We particularly need stewards to man the Museum so that we can open more frequently. If you can help please contact Roy Gentry on (01962) 773185 or roy.gentry@alresford.org. ## **EMERGENCY FUND FOR DESERVING CASES INCLUDING COVID,** The Trust received £5772 re Covid donations from over 60 donors. The Trust made four hardship paymets totalling £1600. The balance in the Covid/Emergency Hardship Fund as at 31[st] December 2020 was £5127 as follows: |Opening balance at 1stJanuary

The Trust has agreed with the Record Office not to file documents until at least a period of 5 years has elapsed. ## **WEBSITE (www.towntrust.org.uk)** The website was launched in early 2009 and later extended to cover the history of the Trust and all its current activities. It also has a section to cover Press Releases and news updates. ## **PRESS RELEASES & PUBLICITY** The Trust advertises important events and activities by the website, press releases and reports. ## **REGISTERED LAND** Lawyers were instructed to correct the Trust’s registration of title on The Avenue (now done) and to register its title of the Old Fire Station (now done). ## **GRANTS, DONATIONS & GIFT AID** The overall total received by NATT was £13,328 (see Notes 10, 11 and 12). 9 ## **OUTCOME OF PROGRAMME & ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GRATITUDE** The Trustees would like to thank:- David Woods who chaired the Eel House Restoration Committee.

The gain in value of £3306 in the year has been credited to Revaluation Reserves, making the total unrealised gain of £15345. ## 6) HERITAGE ASSESTS - a) The Trust owns the rights to all income from the use (mainly Markets and Fairs) in Broad Street. The Trustees believe that this is an asset, whose value should be based on 10 times income. The income from these rights in 2008 totalled £11,673; there was some small costs involved in producing this income. Although the income for 2020 was £4,445 the Trustees have decided not to change the value in the 2020 accounts, as they believe that the lower income figure for 2020 is not permanent. The Trustees value this heritage asset at £116,300. - b) The Trustees also own other heritage assets, which currently do not produce income namely :- - The ownership of The Avenue to Drove Lane - 99 year Lease on the Eel House. - Ancient documents,. Artefacts and Maces. - Museum artefacts The Trustees have valued these heritage assets at £1. ## 7) CAPITAL AND REVALUATION RESERVE The Reserve at 31[st] December 2020 is made up as follows:- |Note
