Wiltshire Family History Society

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Objectives and activities (continued)

Structure, governance and management

The Society is an unincorporated association, administered in accordance with its Constitution and a member of the national Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS).

There has been no change to the revised Constitution which took effect on 15 September 2018. Like most other Family History Societies the COVID-19 pandemic seriously affected most of the activities of the Society particularly during lockdown situations. The trustees were not able to have the normal face to face meetings but eventually were able to have some virtual Zoom meetings, although some of the members were not able to attend because of technical issues. Similarly, the normal branch monthly or or twice monthly meetings had to be cancelled under the national guidelines. However when it became obvious that the pandemic restrictions were going to continue for some time three of the branches conducted virtual meetings which proved successful.

Objectives and activities

During the year the Society was involved in promoting the ideals and objectives contained in the Constitution. The objectives are:

  1. To promote and encourage the public study of Family History, Genealogy, Heraldry, and Local History with particular reference to Wiltshire.

  2. To promote the preservation, security and accessibility of archival material.

In furtherance of the above objectives but not further or otherwise the Society shall have a number of powers including:-

To promote and to engage in educational activities including the issue of a regular journal and the publication and sale of other appropriate material.

The trustees believe that our activities of preserving, transcribing and publishing original source material in paper form, CD, as downloads, and online, for the benefit of everyone, are within the accepted interpretations of education. The quarterly journal, available to all members, both in paper form and online, contains many informative as well as interesting articles. During the year a donation was made to the Wiltshire Victoria County History Trust to enable them to progress the Wiltshire VCH Chippenham volume 20 which is nearing completion.

Public benefit

We believe that our attendance at national family history events and in more normal years local shows, together with the publication of our own transcriptions in a variety of formats, which are available to the public, are a realistic interpretation of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. In normal years all our branch meetings are open to the public without charge. A large amount of data transcribed by the Society continues to be placed on the Findmypast website, again with access to to all.

Transcribing and publications

The Society's transcription programme has been badly affected by the Covid 19 pandemic: the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre was closed from 20 March 2020 until 21 August 2020 and again from Christmas 2020 to the end of March 2021. A number of our transcribers have been shielding or opted not to return while restrictions for transcribers were in place: we hope that they will return when circumstances allow. Those transcribers who did attend the Centre in the 16 weeks it was open were

able to to further their researches, but missed the normal companiable coffee and lunch breaks.

There have been fewer new publications in 2020/2021 because of delays in transcribing and checking our material and we have only managed to complete one new publication, the Manor Court Records for Alvediston. However some of the Society's early publications which have long been out of print have been re-issued in print and on CD: Wiltshire Fire Insurance Policy Holders 1714-1731, Wiltshire Strays in Gloucester Gaol, Wiltshire Emigration Association 1849-1851, Broad Town Charity Apprentices, Wiltshire Apprentices Parish, Charity and Private. Three further CDs have been re-issued, covering Wiltshire Land Tax 1780, Wiltshire Confirmations 1703-1920, and Wiltshire Non-conformist records - the latter as an interim measure before the current work on non-conformist records - which will significantly expand the material - becomes available. All new or re-issued publications are publicised on the Society's website when they are published, and in the Journal and annual Sales Leaflet.

Coach Trips

We were not able to offer any of the coach trips planned for 2020. We hope to be able to resume trips again, but probably not until Spring 2022. It is uncertain at present what restrictions there may be on the numbers of travellers who can safely travel by coach and the effect of this on prices, both for coach travel and entry costs at the venues we hope to visit.

Resource Centre

Activity in the Resource Centre has dwindled considerably during the various lockdowns, with visits by one or two volunteers for a few hours weekly to check for security, printing, deal with mail, despatch sales items, conduct limited research and so on. There is of course a continuing need for the space for office equipment, storage, research equipment and the Eunice Banks Library. The usual weekly gatherings of volunteers have not taken place, with many activities being conducted from homes. The arrangement has worked reasonably well, although the lack of personal contact has reduced the satisfaction of being involved and the researchers' familiarity with specialist resources. The Centre is ready for the return of the full team, to re-emerge as the focus for Society's activities.

Presentation

After last year's welcome increase in national family history activity, the pandemic has resulted in the cancellation of all live events during the year. However online events have emerged, and the Society was represented at three where the public could 'visit' the shows and interact by text and/or video with our volunteers working from the Resource Centre or their homes. The direct impact on sales or membership was hard to quantify, but it remains appropriate that the Society should stay involved pending the return to live events. It also seems likely that some aspects of virtual gatherings will continue once the pandemic constraints are lifted.

Achievements and performance

The trustees acknowledge the debt the Society owes to the loyal group of volunteers who contribute a considerable amount of time and energy to the Society. Without their enthusiasm and support the Society would be less successful in looking after the needs of the members and promoting the objectives of the Society to the public at large.

One positive result of the national lockdown situations this year has been that the general public has had time to look at their family history and this has meant that the Society has retained more members than in recent years. More new members have also been attracted. The outcome of these factors is that the total number of members has varied very little during the year.

Wiltshire Family History Society

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Objectives and activities (continued)

Financial review

The accounts show a surplus of £8,657 compared to a deficit of £9,529 in 2020. There are a number of factors which account for this apparent turnround in the finances. Because of the pandemic the normal branch activities did not take place which showed as a reduction of £5,000 in branch expenses. The stocktake which was unable to be taken in 2020 was completed this year and resulted in a stock figure £4,800 greater than the previous year. The figure is however still less than in 2018. The Society was also fortunate to receive a legacy of £5,000. It is not expected that the same benefits will appear to the same extent in the 2021/2022 accounts, depending on the lasting effects of the pandemic.

The Society has a reserves policy which ensures that there are sufficient funds to cover a minimum of 12 months' expenses

Plans for future periods

As this report is being written during what is hoped to be the latter period of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is completely uncertain when the Society activities and meetings will be resumed. Transcribing and publishing of original material for the benefit of the public in general will resume when it is safe to do so. Completion of the Parish Registers project, which in last year's report was expected to be completed in 2022, is expected to be delayed for a further year. When completed it will be a a marvellous Society achievement of which everyone should be justifiably proud.

The Society is in good health financially, but requires an injection of new blood to enable it to continue to flourish in the future.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 16[th ] August 2021 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Wiltshire Family History Society

Year ended 31 March 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Wiltshire Family History Society ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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 the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable 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.

Wiltshire Family History Society

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Unit 3, Bath Road Business Centre, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1XA.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or

commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

- 9 -

Wiltshire Family History Society

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 20% reducing balance Computer and other - 25% straight line equipment

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
