REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

The Trustees (who are also Directors) present their annual report with the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. The Trustees report also contains a Directors Report as required by Company Law.

The Report and Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with current statutory requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial accounts in accordance with FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Small Companies Regime (section 419(2) of the Companies Act 2006).

OBJECTS AND PRINCIPLE ACTIVITY OF THE COMPANY

The Company’s Articles contains the following statement of the objects for which the Company is established:

“To provide and maintain, as a memorial to the men, women and children of East Grinstead who lost their lives in the 1939-1945 War, a public park with playing fields, recreation grounds, or other recreational or educational facilities for the people of East Grinstead.”

“To encourage and promote any form of public recreation or education or any other charitable object, including by the making of grants for the benefit of the people of East Grinstead”.

The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission, number 305211, and with the Registrar of Companies, number 468425.

In setting objectives and planning activities the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the 2011 Charities Act and have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

The Company considers its public benefit to be: -

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Given the return to relatively more stable times in 2022, your Board has focussed on two key development areas during the year. The first was to further enhance our organisation and structure and the second, recognising the increasing financial challenges faced by local residents, was to extend our annual grant programme. Of course, the Board has also continued its active involvement with our three key tenants: Mid Sussex District Council, the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club and East Grinstead Town Football Club.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)

Board Progress

The Board has now settled into a rhythm of four quarterly reporting and decision-making meetings, each held at Chequer Mead. Clearly the majority of work is undertaken outside of that timetable and the Board is still composed entirely of volunteer Directors who, following our review of Governance, are now normally limited to serving a maximum of three, three-year terms as approved at our AGM in July 2022. This stimulates regular injections of new trustees to help ensure the Charity remains current and relevant, whilst retaining significant levels of experience to ensure corporate memory is retained.

At the 2022 AGM, three long standing Directors retired from the Board – namely Shirley Baker, Anthony Fisher and Mike Funnell – after many years of loyal and dedicated service. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for their contributions and wisdom over so many years. To protect against loss of corporate memory, Mike Funnell has kindly agreed to continue attending Board Meetings as a non-voting advisor. Having been co-opted to the Board during the previous 12 months, the appointments of Ann Hacke, Matt Rew and Christian Williams were all unanimously ratified. A further appointment was made to the Board in October 2022 and that was of Philip Martin, a long-standing member and local resident whose appointment will be submitted for ratification at our AGM in 2023.

During the year, much work has been undertaken to strengthen our governance protocols by codifying our practices into a suite of policies and discretionary powers to complement our Memorandum and Articles of Association. In a continuing spirit of transparency, it is our intention for these policies, once approved, to be published on our website during 2023.

Our membership numbered 50 at year end, partly bolstered by the admission of two new members to a student category of membership introduced in 2022. The two members concerned are students at Imberhorne School who have been working on a project recommending steps to improve the communication profile of the Charity. Their report was accepted by the Board in the Autumn and will feature in our plans during 2023 and beyond. Of course, 50 members sounds very small, but it is worth mentioning that the Estate is used on a daily basis by a much larger number of East Grinstead residents and is open to all.

Annual Grant Programme

Recognising the increasing financial pressures evident in our wider community from early 2022, the Board took the decision at that time of making a modest reduction in our investment portfolio reducing our level of investments to provide a 50% increase in grant funding for the year and potentially for 2023 as well. Accordingly, in the Spring a distribution of £30,000 was made to local causes, details of which are held on our website as well as in these accounts. We are once again indebted to the Mid-Sussex Voluntary Association for their continuing support in helping us to engage and support local groups.

Our Tenants

.

We continue to have strong relations with each of our sporting tenants namely the East Grinstead Town Football Club and the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club.

The relationship with our main tenant MSDC does however continue to present a challenge for us given that the progress anticipated in last year’s annual report has not been fulfilled. Key to delivery of the ten-year plan proposed by MSDC in 2014 was vehicular access to Ashplats Wood enabling contractors to undertake regular woodland maintenance.

EAST GRINSTEAD MEMORIAL ESTATE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)

The promised works in Spring 2022 to enable the Holtye Track to serve as the key access route did not materialise and to compound the problem, during the year the track was allowed to narrow through uncontrolled vegetation growth to mere walking width. After much representation of the concerns of ourselves and users, the track width was restored by MSDC to its historic levels during December 2022: we will be looking to see the track maintained at this level going forward. We still await concrete proposals to make good the maintenance shortfall that has accrued over the last eight years.

Reflecting the concerns expressed by Members at our 2022 AGM, your Board is currently receiving specialist legal advice as to how best to hold MSDC to account (the cost of this advice will be worthy of note and will be duly recorded in the 2023 accounts but is not significant in terms of our overall balance sheet). It is worth noting that during the year MSDC have invested £700,000 to support the creation of another SANG in East Grinstead (Hill Place Farm) and we can only hope that the operational synergies of two sites will prove beneficial for the Memorial Estate. As ever, and to be balanced, the day-to-day maintenance of the playing fields continues to be performed acceptably.

It would be remiss of us not to mention the sterling work contributed during the year by the Ashplats Conservation Group and their volunteer supporters in protecting the flora and fauna of the Estate as well as aiding MSDC in the maintenance of paths, steps and walkways – a particular challenge during the variable winter period. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

Summarising the year, we can say that our balance sheet remains strong despite the erosion of investment value in recent years due to global economic factors. The Board is active and balanced but will need further strengthening in the year ahead to meet scheduled retirements. Membership is stable and we have plans to take more decisive actions to encourage MSDC to deliver on their obligations as tenant and SANG fund custodian.

REVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION

The Trustees report that the net movement in funds for the year was a deficit of £194,039 (2021: surplus £115,056) which included losses of £179,361 (2021: gains £125,911) on the revaluation and disposal of investment assets and property. The Balance Sheet at the year-end remains satisfactory with a total of unrestricted funds amounting to £1,711,481 (2021: £1,905,520).

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of East Grinstead Memorial Estate Limited to hold in reserves the equivalent of six months operating costs.

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission, number 305211, and with the Registrar of Companies, number 468425. It is governed under its Articles of Association dated 2nd May 1949, updated 25 May 2017, 20[th] June 2018 and further amended on 5[th] July 2022.

A summary of the history of the Company can be obtained from the Company website www.egmel.co.uk.

The business of the Company is managed by the Trustees (who are also the Directors) who may delegate all or any of their powers to a sub-committee, consisting of any one or more of its members as it may think fit. The Trustees meet at regular intervals throughout the year to review matters and take any necessary and appropriate action. Resolutions and actions are agreed upon by majority vote.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of The East Grinstead Memorial Estate Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the income and expenditure of the company for that period.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

EAST GRINSTEAD MEMORIAL ESTATE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. General Information

The company is a registered charity limited by guarantee without share capital, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 7, Bells Yard, London, WC2A 2JR.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of preparation

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 Companies Act 2006.

East Grinstead Memorial Estate meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

b. 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.

c. Investments

Investment properties are stated at fair value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals through the year. Although this accounting policy is in accordance with the charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) it is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the Trustees compliance with the standard is necessary for financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount of this which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Other Investments are stated at market value at 31 December 2022. The gains and losses arising on revaluation, including losses arising on the disposal of investments are shown on page 8 of the Financial Statements.

d. Realised gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

e. Tangible fixed assets

All assets are originally recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Memorial Estate Land is stated at re-valuation as at the date of transition to FRS 102, 1 January 2015, and this amount is the deemed cost at this date.

11

EAST GRINSTEAD MEMORIAL ESTATE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

f. Depreciation

Memorial Estate Land is not depreciated, on the basis that the fair value is equivalent to deemed cost.

g. Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

h. Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Expenditure directly attributable to the Charity’s sole charitable activity is allocated on an actual basis.

i. Allocation of support and governance costs

Support and governance costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and are all allocated to charitable activities.

j. Funds structure

The general charitable fund is an unrestricted fund which is available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the Charity and which has not been designated for other purposes.

The capital reserve represents the initial capital subscribed to the charity at its inception in 1949.

The revaluation reserve represents the revalued amount of the Memorial Estate Land at the date of transition to FRS102.
