Talbot Village Trust

Trustees’ Annual Report

Year Ended 31 December 2020

Chair’s Statement

Talbot Village Trust is the legacy of two sisters – Misses Georgina Charlotte and Mary Anne Talbot and today is a major benefactor in south east Dorset. The Trustees are committed to helping make a better life for all in the local community but focus their support on disadvantaged and vulnerable people, across disability issues, educational & employment opportunities and societal challenges.

The Talbot sisters’ legacy originated with the development of Talbot Village in the nineteenth century – a community of alms houses, cottages, school and land which remain in full use today, with common areas including woodland and Talbot Heath open and maintained for the public to enjoy.

The Trust has maintained a range of community support initiatives throughout the year, including maintenance of the heathland and woodland for public access and safety, support for St Mark’s Church, St Mark’s School and the University Chaplaincy service.

During 2020 the Trustees resolved to set up a Covid19 emergency response fund, over seen by Mr. Lucas Rowe and Sir Christopher Lees, which would relax the Trust’s usual giving policies to enable targeted help to be offered to local charities – and their clients - impacted by the pandemic. Over three months in the summer the Trustees approved the grant of 120 grants totalling £1.13 million.

In addition to the emergency fund the Trustees continued their usual giving throughout 2020 and approved 59 grants totalling £809K during the year.

The Trustees have commissioned Ten Years’ Time to lead a review and fact finding mission to better understand needs in the local area and how their giving can be more impactful. This exercise is expected to conclude in spring 2021.

One of the Trustees key ambitions is to enable the development of the Digital Village (the Talbot Quarter), with a vision to create a nationally relevant, highly connected hub for digital and other related organisations to co-locate, enabling collaboration with each other and critically able to access the incredible resources and expertise of the two universities. This is a significant opportunity to anchor BCP as a hub of excellence for the 4[th] industrial revolution and to create life, learning and job opportunities in the area.

The Trustees made significant progress in their ambitions in 2020:

The Trustees vision is for a multi-use and integrated new community which will support these ambitions and potentially bring other benefits to include a cultural and arts hub and other recreational facilities for a wide range of ages.

Objectives and activities

The Trust will continue to explore ways in which its assets can be used to expand its charitable activities.

We will also look to secure the Trust’s aims on its land holdings through active participation in the Talbot Project and investigations into the potential to deliver an entrepreneurial hub in the area, with the aim of generating and securing local economic and employment benefits.

Talbot Village Trust

Trustees’ Annual Report

Year Ended 31 December 2020

The Trust’s powers are set out in a Scheme approved by the Charity Commissioners on 14th November 1995. The Charity is grant making, and grants are made to suitable organisations in accordance with the Trust's objectives, being other charitable bodies, Churches, Schools and the like for projects which support youth, the elderly and the disadvantaged. The Trust’s objects restrict giving to what is now the historic Boroughs of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and the Districts of East Dorset and Purbeck.

The Trustees have prepared a five-year rolling plan which is reviewed once a year, through which they keep under review their constitutional and administrative structures and responsibilities. The main elements of this plan are the charity's ongoing objective to maintain a consistent level of giving, taking into account their annual income and other financial commitments. The current aim is to make grants amounting to an average of £1,000,000 per annum in addition to its regular charitable support of St. Mark's Church, St. Mark's School, the University Chaplaincy and others.

The Trust does not engage in fund raising. All of the Trustees' giving is financed from income reserves.

The Trustees are mindful of the need to adopt a prudent approach to both investment policy and grant making to ensure the charity prospers in the longer term and seeks to achieve a balance of appropriate reserves and impactful giving. The Trust has significant restricted funds which the Trustees will deploy on suitable projects when these can be identified.

The Trustees prepare an annual Risk Assessment and they, and the Trust’s advisers, are monitoring closely the impact that Covid 19 will have on the Trust’s income, both rental and dividend income. Presently the Trustees believe the short to medium term impact on liquidity will not affect the ability of the Trust to fulfil its aims and commitments.

Achievements and performance

The Trust continues to own and manage land and cottages at Talbot Village, Bournemouth which was part of the original endowment. It is the Trustees’ policy to maintain and preserve the Village to a good standard. The cottages are allocated to those on a waiting list on a ‘needs based’ approach. The Trustees’ policy is to let the cottages at 80% of market rental.

This process of ongoing management continued through 2020, and the Trustees commissioned a Planned Preventative Maintenance programme to cover the village properties during the year, which sets out a 10-year plan to ensure a structured approach to keeping the properties in appropriate levels of repair.

The Trustees own a significant acreage of development land which is surplus to their charitable requirements. In consultation with local stakeholders the Trustees have participated in a process which has led to the adoption of a Master Plan, which should form the basis of future planning and development.

Apart from planning and development matters the focus of the Trust’s deliberations continues to be the work it undertakes as one of the principal grant giving charities in South East Dorset.

During the course of 2020 the Trustees donated £2,113,058 (2019: £983,290), there were lapsed donations and prior year amendments of £60,362 (2019: £91,932), to local charitable causes in accordance with their objectives and policies, referred to in Trust Objectives and activities on pages 2-3.

The case studies below show the breadth of charitable ventures which the Trust supports, both geographically across its area and the range of activities:-

Dudsbury Girl Guides

Dudsbury Guide camp is a well know and large facility used by a range of youth and uniformed groups both local to and form outside the area. The Trustees were thrilled to approve the grant of donation of £5K to help with the refurbishment of the WC/ washing block to further improve the facilities available on the site.

Although quite a small and pragmatic project, this will help thousands of young people to enjoy the camp over many years.

Routes to Roots

The Trustees were delighted to approve the grant of an undated, interest free loan of £150K to enable this charity to purchase an ex-Baptist Church in Hill street, Poole, which is being refurbished to create a homelessness hub, offering a holistic range of support.

The Trustees subsequently offered a £20K donation to help with required gap funding for the renovation costs.

Rough sleeping is an increasing issue, and this centre will secure a base, in the knowledge it is owned outright, for the charity to support a wide range of people over many years in the area.

STARS

This charity offers support for women suffering domestic and sexual abuse, an area that has been widely reported as an increasing issue through the 2020 lockdowns.

The paragraphs above set out our activities, achievements and performance during the year, which are directly related to the objects and purposes for which the charity exists.

Year Ended 31 December 2020

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.

During 2020 the Trust’s financial advisers continued to actively manage the Trust's invested funds in accordance with the Trust’s policy of trying to achieve a fair balance between capital growth and income.

Day to day management of the investments is delegated by the Trustees to the Trust's brokers, Rathbone Investment Management Limited, and their performance is monitored by the Investment Panel noted below.

The capital value of the Trust’s invested securities increased from £49,848,851 to £53,690,955 which reflects the additional investments made and an improvement in world stock markets during the course of the year.

Total income for the year was £3,016,793 (2019: £2,851,538). Of the total income, £1,057,558 (2019: £1,356,282) was generated from the Trust’s invested funds.

Within the remaining balance of £1,959,235 (2019: £1,495,256) the sum of £1,914,176 (2019: £1,463,620) is attributable to rental income from, in particular, schemes which the Trust has jointly undertaken with Bournemouth University, Anchor Hanover Housing Association and Ability (in each case, in furtherance of the Trust’s charitable objects).

The Trust's investments have achieved an average yield of 2.04% in 2019 (2019: 2.72%) which is consistent with the policy adopted by the Trustees at their meeting in May 2005 and updated annually at the May Trustees’ meeting.

The Trustees' policy is to regard their accumulated income fund as a reserve to finance any infrastructure it might decide to install on the land in its possession, and to act as a cushion for any fluctuations in income in order to maintain a consistent level of giving and to meet any exceptional requests for charitable assistance. Unrestricted undesignated reserves were £12,803,818 at the year-end which the Trustees consider is more than sufficient.

Designated funds as detailed in note 16 were £9,614,314 at the year end and the permanent endowment fund which is linked to a specific investment portfolio was £45,041,886. Total funds at the year-end were £67,460,018 (2019: £66,003,099).

The Trustees are satisfied that the charity’s assets attributable to each of its individual funds are adequate and available to fulfil its obligations.

Structure, governance and management

The Chairman is responsible for overseeing the day to day management and administration undertaken by the Director. Mr Gibson Fleming is responsible for matters relating to land development and land management. The Earl of Shaftesbury and Mr Lucas Rowe are members of the Investment Panel.

The Trustees resolved to establish a Planning Committee during the year, with responsibility for oversight of the development ambitions and activities relating to the Talbot Quarter. The Committee is led by Mr. Gibson Fleming, with other members being Sir George Meyrick, Lord Shaftesbury and Sir Christopher Lees.

There are two general meetings of the Trust each year. Special meetings are arranged when appropriate.

Trustees undertake an annual review of the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and the procedures currently in place to mitigate these. The management of these and any other risks will be kept under annual review.

The Trustees have a strategy which comprises:

Year Ended 31 December 2020

This work has identified financial, management and compliance as areas of risk however due to the Trustees’ conservative investment policy and use of specialist external advisors it is felt that these risks can be effectively managed.

The Trustees of Talbot Village Trust are also Trustees of the Talbot Village Almshouses Trust and the Talbot Village Educational Foundation (unregistered charity).

All new Trustees are provided with the Trustees Handbook, which includes the Charity Commission Schemes and policy documents, together with other important documents including the Charity Commission publication "Responsibilities of Charity Trustees".

Staff pay is reviewed annually at the Trustees’ discretion and is based on factors such as inflation and comparable pay levels within the marketplace.

Investment powers

The Trust is subject to the provisions of the Trustee Act 2000.

Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. 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 charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Talbot Village Trust

Independent Auditor’s Report

Year Ended 31 December 2020

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Talbot Village Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Talbot Village Trust for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’’.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Talbot Village Trust

Independent Auditor’s Report

Year Ended 31 December 2020

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the financial statements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 8, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the Charity. We gained an understanding of the Charity and the sector in which the Charity operates as part of this assessment to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the Charity. As part of this, we reviewed the Charity’s website for an indication of any regulations in place and discussed these with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance. The key regulations we identified were Charity legislation, health and safety regulations and breaches of The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP - FRS 102.

We discussed with management how the compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and discussed policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the Charity complies with laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the Charity’s ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts.

Use of our report

Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trustees those matters we are required to state to Trustees in an auditors' report and for no other purpose.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 December 2020

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) General information and basis of preparation

Talbot Village Trust is a registered charity, registration number 249349, registered in the United Kingdom. The address of the clerk is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are described in the Trustees annual.

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 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

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 prepared 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.

(b) Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally fixed assets, tangible and investments. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.

(c) Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent.

Dividend income comprises dividends declared during the accounting period. Income from short term deposits is accounted for by reference to the amount receivable, calculated on a daily basis. Rental income is accounted for on the basis of the amount receivable for the financial year on an accruals basis. Rental income from Charitable Housing is received after any deductions for authorised management and maintenance expenses incurred by Hanover Housing Association and Ability. Rental income from student letting is based on the assured rental as detailed in the lease.

Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.

Other income includes the conversion of endowment funds into income which arises when capital funds are released to an income fund from expendable endowments or when a charity has authority to adopt a total return approach to its permanent endowment fund. It also includes other income such as gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.

(d) Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.

(e) Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out by advisors. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 5.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 December 2020

(f) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Freehold land and buildings were originally donated to the Trust on its creation including the Talbot Village Alms Houses which relate to the connected charity (see the Trustees report) and are included in these financial statements at existing use value as determined at 31 December 2000. This valuation has been treated as deemed cost at the transition date. The Trust’s policy is not to revalue its tangible fixed assets. No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings as it is the Trust’s policy to maintain its assets in a continual state of sound repair. The useful economic lives of these assets are thus so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material. Any permanent diminution in value is provided for in the statement of financial activities.

(g) Investments

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.

Current asset investments are short term highly liquid investments and are held at fair value. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year.

The fair value of listed investments is determined by reference to the quoted price for identical assets in an active market at the balance sheet date.

(h) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

(i) Concessionary loans

Concessionary loans include those receivable from third parties which are interest free or below market interest rates and are made to advance charitable purposes. All loans are measured at cost, less impairment as permitted by section 34 of FRS 102.

(j) Impairment

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

(k) Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

(l) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

(m) Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Inalienable assets

The Trust owns assets which are described as inalienable assets, such that they form part of the original permanent endowment, and are held for continuing use and not for disposal. These consist of Talbot Village and estate cottages and Projects 1, 3, 7 and 11 relating to charitable housing and the University. These assets have not been capitalised as their value would not be readily determinable, the cost of obtaining such a valuation would be too onerous and the benefit derived by the users of the accounts would be outweighed by the cost.
