ort of the Trustees

of R¢¢ommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accowils in ￿￿rdance with the Financial RetK)rting
Standard appli¢able in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTtVlTIES
Objectives aRd aiEns
Prlnclp81 Objectlv¢s
The principal objecls of th¢ m]s¢ are..
The advancement and promotion of the Christian faith;
To apply the trust funds towards the Cost of equipment, maintenance, repair,
insurance and upkeep of such place or places used by the charity for its objects: and
To apply the trust funds as the trusl¢e5 thitjk fit in promvting Éhe operation of subb places as a Christian ¢entr¢.
Activities
The trust a¢hieves its objectives by providing acwmtnodation for Christian workers, groups and others to rest, relax,
plan, pray and spend time with God and ¢a¢h other in beautiful countyside at affordable prices.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity CornmisslOll'5 guidan¢e on public benefit when reviewing
the Th15t'5 aims and obj¢ctives, in planniTrg future activitie5 and in making de¢isÉons during the year. The activities
further the ¢hariWs purposes for the public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMAIYCE
Charitable activities
The activities and perfoTman¢¢ for the year are summarised:
The Centre opened again in April 2021 after the various Coronavorns lockdowns during 2020. Aft¢r a slow start in
2021, the level of booking5 in 2022 was back to pre-covid levels.
Th¢ new wardens are now settled into th¢ir new role and are working out well.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
FiDAnelal posttlon
During the year, the income of the trust was £44,846 (2021.. £71,008) dertved from donations, gift aid tax recovered,
bank int¢r¢s¢ fees from guests.
The expenditur¢ was £61,819 {2021: £55,738, resulting in a deficii for the year of £16,973 (2021: Surplus £15,270).
The trustees ar¢ happy to provide the use of the lacilities at West Watch irresp¢otive of the ability of guests to pay.
Therefore, it is anticipated that resources expended will exceed incoming resources and the support of the Edwards
Skinner Charitable TTUSt tneets this deficit.
Meetings of the Edwords SkiEJner Charitrable Trust are held on (he same day as those of the West Watch Trust and
consideration is given to the J)eed (or a grant at each meeting and between meetings if th¢ n¢¢d arises.

fomer visitors and fri¢nd5. including contac18 established ty the benefador. The guests, ability to pay is not of prim¢
importan¢¢. A statemenl is prepared by th¢ wardens for each tru￿¢¢ meeting of anticipated prop¢rty maintenance and
proposals for improvements which aids budgeting ar)d the INstees' concern
for the h¢alth, safety and comfort of staff and guests.
Pmgre5s is reviewed at each meeting.
Professiotyal advic¢ is taken v/here appropriate ineluding matteTS relating to in$uTrnce cover and fwe precautions.

The trllstees aim to keep the level of reserves at a l¢v¢l sufficient to maintsin the day-to-day njnning of the trusi for one
