## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

The objects of the charity are the advancement of education and healthcare with particular regard to the principles and methods of Rudolf Steiner, with emphasis on the establishment and operation of agricultural and horticultural training centres based on bio-dynamic agricultural techniques and as well the relief of the aged impotent and poor or any other charitable purposes as the trustees may resolve. 

## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_ 

The principal strategy of the charity is to act as a supportive investor in facilities to be provided to organisations pursuing activities within the charity's objects. 

To this end the charity owns Old Plaw Hatch Farm and Tablehurst Farm and lets them to the individual farms to operate as bio-dynamic agricultural farms and training centres. 

The charity also owns the Rachel Carson Centre, a building and land which is a former centre for biodynamic training which is let to the Emerson College Trust Ltd for educational activities. 

It also makes grants in appropriate circumstances for training purposes and for better public access to activities relating to care for the land and environment. 

On the 28th of December 2022, the Trust was incorporated as a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 14558593. The Trust is in the process of applying for charitable status as a limited company. This work is carried out with the assistance of a specialist charity solicitor. 

The Trust has also engaged a professional advisor to assist the board in ensuring that the Trust is compliant in all areas to do with letting agricultural land and buildings. In the period continued to work with their financial two-year and five-year plans, focussing on three main areas: 1. Land purchase for land security 2. Improving accommodation for farm workers 3. Biodynamic education. The trust invited the farms to present improvement plans so the Charity could consider these in their planning. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

In setting the charity's objectives and planning its activities the trustees have given consideration to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. Student groups of all ages visit the farms through school visits, young farmer groups and volunteers. Both farms also provide cultural and educational activities supported by the Trust such as farm walks, extensive openings for volunteers and open days. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## _**Grant making policies**_ 

Grants are awarded by the trustees to institutions or projects meeting the charitable objectives of the trust. Grant applications are authorised individually, according to merit.

## **Achievements and performance** 

Fundraising campaigns to provide additional and replacement of essential housing for farmers at Tablehurst Farm and Plaw Hatch Farm have resulted, in the case of Tablehurst Farm, in a completed straw bale property (completed in September 2019) and at Plaw Hatch a house for a farmer and family to replace one that burned down in 2018 (completed June 2021). 

The Trust has worked with and supported both farms to develop BD educational farming and gardening through apprenticeships, internships, courses, events, volunteers, allotments and other educational/training schemes. We ensure through our leases that all land leased is farmed following biodynamic practices as far as possible. 

Tablehurst Farm hosted a BDA Regional event on the farm last autumn for regional farmers interested in Biodynamics and Tablehurst Farm. The farm also hosted a number of school visits, students, volunteers and a young farmers’ club. 

Tablehurst Farm hosted a BDA apprentice in his second year of training, and they are looking for a second apprentice to start as soon as possible. Their butcher apprentice completed his apprenticeship, and they are now actively seeking a new apprentice. Several interns joined the farm in the summer, and a student from Plumpton Agricultural College joined the farm once a week for practical training. 

Old Plawhatch Farm is hosting two apprentices through the Biodynamic Agricultural College, and one butcher apprentice who has finished her apprenticeship, passed her final exams and will continue working in the farm butchery. 

Difficulties were experienced in the period due to the new Brexit regulations not yet including a visa scheme for volunteers and apprentices. They had experienced problems from Brexit (lack of a visa scheme and lack of certification as an educational place) that stopped them from receiving their usual summer placements from the Warmonderhof Foundation (a college for BD agriculture in the Netherlands) with which our farms have had a long connection. 

Staff training is an ongoing activity in both farms, which finds opportunities for customer-facing shop and cafe staff to learn about farming and gardening through visits to productive enterprises. Farmers attended a week of training in regenerative agriculture with Richard Perkins in Wales, the Oxford Real Farming Conference and the Groundswell event. Tablehurst farmers, gardeners and volunteers study Rudolf Steiner’s Agricultural course together once a week. 

Tablehurst Farm’s biodynamic preparations specialist has been undertaking a course of study into the soil and is in the process of setting up some soil research experiments. She has contributed to teaching courses on making Biodynamic preparations in different parts of the country, and she continues offering open training on BDA preparations every year at the farm. 

In addition to the leases given to the two farms, the charity also leases a small plot of land to a biodynamic farmer and the Rachel Carson Centre land and building to Emerson College Trust. In leasing the land to Emerson, the Trust has agreed that part of that lease will involve subletting the property to The Healing Garden (a BD medicinal garden).

## **Trustees' Report** 

The Trust organised an event at Emerson College in collaboration with the Healing Garden, the Rachel Carson Centre Project, and Schumacher College, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the publication of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, an environmental science book by Rachel Carson. The prime mover in putting it all together was Sarri Tapales, who presented her master's degree project Designing Regenerative Food Ecosystems for Brighton. Conversations in the round explored Rachel Carson’s message, biodynamics, the future of food and farming, and the question, ‘What is the message of Silent Spring for UK food and farming today?’ St Anthony's Trust's Limited current work and objectives were presented during this event, where the trust could gain more visibility by presenting its work to the community. The trust body revamped its website to support its presence in the community; we are now writing articles and event reviews to keep it up to date. 

## **Financial review** 

In this period, the Trust received the final balances of two legacies which had been caught up in the delays at the probate office due to Covid-19. One of the legacies is designated for Tablehurst Farm and is being held on their behalf. The second legacy is undesignated, and trustees are awaiting grant applications for these funds. A small percentage has been allocated to the overheads of the Trust, in particular, the legal costs incurred in changing our status and bringing all documentation up to date. 

Trustees have prioritised finding a trustee with a solid financial background to join the board. 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

As has long been the Trust's practice, reserves will be maintained to cover the basic running costs. New projects will only be undertaken or initiatives supported when funds held by the Trust permit. Free reserves at the year-end date amounted to £126,148. 

## _**Investment policy and objectives**_ 

The trustees have unlimited investment powers. Currently the charity owns two freehold farm properties as programme related investments, as well as other small investments in Steiner related organisations. General funds not designated are held for current purposes. 

The main income, apart from rent charged to the farms, for the Trust, is from donations for publicly specified projects and from occasional legacies 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of governing document**_ 

St Anthony's Trust is governed by its trust deed 1st August 1972 and supplementary trust deed 25th January 1975 and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. 

Incorporated in December 2022 with company number 14558593, St Anthony's Trust Limited is governed by its Memorandum and Articles. St. Anthony’s Trust Limited has applied to the Charity Commission for charitable status. Until this status is received, the Trust continues to operate under the old charity number.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

Power of appointment and removal of trustees is vested in the trustees. 

The Trust is recruiting new trustees bearing in mind the skills needed on the board and diversity as well as being aligned with its purposes. 

## _**Induction and training of trustees**_ 

New trustees undergo an orientation session to brief them on their legal obligations under charity law, the content of the trust deed, the decision making processes, the future plans and recent financial performance of the charity. 

In the period 2022 – 2023, trustee training was carried out through online webinars with specialist charity solicitors on the basics of being a charity trustee and through presentations brought to board meetings by individual trustees. These were found to be very good and were greatly appreciated. 

## _**Organisational structure**_ 

The trustees meet regularly to manage the affairs of the charity. 

## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_ 

## _Risk management_ 

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises an ongoing review of the risks the charity may face; the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate the identified risks; and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of St Anthony's Trust** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 8 to 21. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees of St Anthony's 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 St Anthony's Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 St Anthony's Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

## **St Anthony's Trust** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Statement of compliance** 

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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

St Anthony's Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Judgements** 

Determination of whether there are indicators of impairment of the Charity's tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset. 

## **Key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. The carrying amount is £- (2022 -£-). 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

Page 11 



## **St Anthony's Trust** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## _**Grant provisions**_ 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initally recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

## **Asset class** 

Plant and equipment 

## **Depreciation method and rate** 

25% straight line basis 

## **Programme related investments** 

Programme related investments are made in furtherance of the charitys' objects and any investment return is secondary to the charitable purpose supported by the investment. Such investments are included at their cost. Any loss or impairment arising from such investments is charged as part of charitable activities within the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Page 12 



## **St Anthony's Trust** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Borrowings** 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 

## **Foreign exchange** 

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date. 

Other exchange differences are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period in which they arise except for: 

1) exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in other comprehensive income; and expenditure. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows: 

Plaw Hatch Ruben Apprenticeship Fund is to develop the skills and knowledge of the apprentice in biodynamic farming whilst working on the land and attending argicultural college. 

Pixton 3rd Age Project is looking into the possibility of converting Pixton House into a different kind of sheltered residential accommodation in conjuction with the Anthroposophical Society in Sussex and Emerson College, the project ceased as fundraising failed. List of donors was reviewed and it was decided impratical to beable to distribute the remaining unspent funds fairly so therefore the balance of this fund was transfered to general funds during this current financial year. 

The Tablehurst Farmhouse and Housing Appeal is to raise funds for the building of additional living accommodation for the workers at Tablehurst Farm, including that of a Strawbale house as a retirement home for Peter Brown, the current farmer of Tablehurst who is of retirement age. 

The Old Plaw Hatch Housing Appeal is to raise funds for the rebuilding of living accommodation damaged in the fire during the 2018 financial year. 

The Braun Legacy was monies left to the Trust to the benefit of Tablehurst Farm (THF), so has been treated as a designated unrestricted fund.
