Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust Company No. 01492613 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

The Trust's objects and principles are to preserve for the benefit of the inhabitants of Great Yarmouth, buildings of special beauty or of historic or architectural interest.

To help achieve its stated aims and objectives the trust is continuing to build up its property portfolio to generate more revenue.

Success is measured by the delivery of projects. Each project will have its own set of criteria, outputs and outcomes which are used to evaluate success. For example, number of buildings removed off the at risk register, square meter of building repaired or brought back into use, number of training hours delivered.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have taken due regard of the guidance published by the Charity Commission and they consider the charity provides a public benefit because without it the objectives would not be met.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

Charitable Activities

Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust has continued to work towards building the charities resilience through securing financial stability. To this end 26 South Quay was sold to a third party with the funds used to strengthen reserves and support ongoing projects such as The Iron Duke, St Johns Church and 145 King Street.

Officers and Trustees efforts have been concentrated on key projects which has seen the start on site of the repair and restoration of The Iron Duke which will transform this derelict building into a pub with food offer. The project is funded through a £2.4 million grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £136,000 from Historic England. This large and complex project has taken considerable time and effort from those involved to take it to the final stages.

The full restoration of St Johns Church which has progressed with a £495,000 grant from the Towns Deal Fund. The project will deliver the full repair of the former church for reuse as an arts centre. Iin addition the process of repair is being used as a vehicle to train young people in traditional building skills.

Other projects carried out in this period include the repair and conservation of sections of Great Yarmouth’s medieval town wall. Further repair and temporary use of 145 King Street and a number of tadeonal skills training events and workshops. The final completion of the North West Tower took place and was opened as holiday accommodation.

In summary the preservation trust has driven several projects forward and completed a number of others. It has reviewed and rationalised its property portfolio and set out a five year plan that will deliver organisational self sufficiency by 2029, reducing reliance on grant assistance in an increasingly challenging external funding landscape.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 22nd April 1980 and registered as a charity on 17th July 1980. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

A special resolution was unanimously passed on 5 December 2022 to adopt new Articles of Association in substitution for, and to the entire exclusion of, the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Trustee Selection Methods

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, directors are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-selected at the next Annual General Meeting. Following the unanimous passing of a special resolution on 5 December 2022, new Articles of Association were adopted such that directors no longer have to be re-selected at an Annual General Meeting after serving for three years.

The Articles of Association specify that the Board of Directors shall comprise five directors representative of Great Yarmouth Borough Council and three directors representative of the Great Yarmouth Local History and Archaeological Society. In addition the directors shall appoint at least one representative from the community who has demonstrated interest in the historic built environment.

The new Articles of Association, approved by a special resolution passed on 5 December 2022, now require that three directors will be representative of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, three from the Great Yarmouth Local History and Archaeological Society and three appointed by the directors having regard to their policies and procedures and also any guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Induction and Training of Trustees

Any new trustees are offered a programme of induction and training.

Organisational Structure

The Trustees comprise nine members who are also the Directors of the Trust. Day to day responsibility for the administration of the Trust rests with Lyn Bales. Louise Averre provides book-keeping services. In addition, Darren Barker acted as Project Organiser for the Trust during the year before becoming Executive Manager.

Related Parties

None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. The charity's wholly-owned subsidiary, Norfolk Conservation Limited, was established to provide conservation to owners, businesses, local authorities and community groups. Norfolk Conservation Limited gift aids all of its profits to Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust to support the work of the Trust.

Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

1. General Information

Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 01492613 and registered charity number 280628. The registered office is .

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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 2019)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

2.2. Going Concern Disclosure

The trustees have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

2.3. Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

2.4. Incoming Resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

2.5. Resources Expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Heitage Assets Improvements Cost Computer Equipment 25% on reducing balance

Page 12

Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

2.7. Heritage Assets

Only properties used for rental purposes are capitalised as fixed assets. The rental income is used to repair and maintain the properties to meet the Trust's charitable objective. The cost of fixed assets is their purchase cost, any incidental costs of acquisition, costs of improvements and less any grants received. Any costs incurred in the directors' opinion that are not expected to generate revenue in the future are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

The Charities SORP (FRS 102) 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) requires that heritage assets are depreciated over their useful economic life. This requirement is not complied with as the directors consider that the properties have indefinite lives and so systematic annual depreciation would be inappropriate. The properties are included on the Balance Sheet at open market value.

2.8. Investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

2.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
