Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31st March 2025
Activities and objectives in 202412025
The Trustees have continued to administer the Village Green and playing field and to utilise the
income derived for the benefit of the Village of Newton. They have ensured that the Trust's
financial reporting is up to date and compliant with regulations for a charity of its size. They have
successfully negotiated a licence with a developer for access over its land and are negotiating a
similar licence with a second developer.
Achievements in 202412025
During the year, the Trustees have maintained the road infrastructure on the Green. They have
also made donations towards the maintenance of the War Memorial, the replacement of windows
in the Village Hall and the distribution of Christmas parcels to villagers.
Financial review, funds held and Reserves Strategy
As of the 31st March 2025, the Trust did not have any debts nor did it hold any funds as a
custodian trustee. With the receipt of £200,000 for a licence fee, in February 2025 the Trustees
agreed on an Investment Strategy which:
outlines the approach for managing the charity's funds, prioritising low-risk investments with a
significant portion covered by the Financial SeNices Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The goal is
to preserve capital, ensure liquidity for operational needs, and achieve modest growth to support
the charity's mission.,

Income audit trails were examined. The Trust has received significant income regarding an
easement relating to access over Trust land. It is noted that there was income received from
the NGGC during the year amounting to £31,863.80. It is noted that the Trust are in
discussions with the NGGC regarding outstanding documents that are required to be
supplied to the Trust. The Licence Deed with the NGGC is on file, as is the Deed of
Easement.
The bank statements reconciled with the bank statements. At 31 March 2025 the Unity
Trust account held £241,163.37 (confirmed) and the COIF account £24,219,37 (confirmed),
No petty cash is held.
There has been significant progress since the last examination in the provision of supporting
paperwork on file. Audit trails were therefore carried out on income and expenditure and no
irregularities were found. The Trust has moved to Unity Trust bank and Cheque books and
paying in books were available for the Independent Exaniination.
Insurance is in place (1/4/2024 - 3113/2025) and documents are on file.
There were no matters which give cause to believe that in, any material respect, the
Trustees have not met the requirements of the Charity Act 1993.
