Information
1 .1 Lewes District Council is sole trustee for the Mountfield Pleasure Ground Trust
by virtue of the Local Government Act 1972 section 210 (2){b) which provided
for charitable property previously vested in Urban Rural District Councils to be
vested in the District Council in the absence of a successor Parish or Town
Council. Lewes District Council became sole trustee because Lewes Town
Council did not exist at the time of reorganisation in 1974.
1.2 Corporate trustees must follow the reporting and accounting requirements in the
Charities Act 2011. The requirements are set out in more detail in..
the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, which deal with
the content and format of the Trustees, annual report, the accounts and
the arrangements for audit or independent examination and
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended
Practice
1.3 The Trustee's Annual Report for 2024125 is attached at Appendix 1. This
incorporates the Receipts and Payments Account for the year as gross income
is less than £250,000 for the year.

1.4 These documents meet the reporting requirements and are subject to
Independent Examination by an external auditor. At the time of writing, the
Independent Examination is still in progress. We are awaiting the final report
and if there are any changes these will be reported at the meeting. Any
significant changes resulting from the Independent Examination are reported
back to the Council as Trustee.
1 .5 It is recommended that authority be given to the Chair of the meeting, on
completion of the Independent Examination, to incorporate any changes
identified and proposed by the external examiner and to sign the Annual Report
and Annual Accounts on the Trustee's behalf.
1.6 The signed documents will be accessible from the Charity Commission website
and will be also made available to the public on Lewes District Council's
website.
Financial AppraisalAs in previous years, the assets held by the Trust did not
generate sufficient income to cover costs. The Receipts and Payment Account
at the end of the Annual Report indicates that a grant of £68,977 was received
from Lewes District Council in 2024125 to achieve a break-even position for the
year.
Legal ImplicationsThe Council, as a single corporate entity, is the sole Trustee
(Councillors are not trustees in their individual capacities). The Council, as a
Trustee, has a duty to act in the best interests of the Trust.
Risk and Impact Management ImplicationsThere are no material risk
management implications arising from this report. The Annual Report and
Accounts are expected to meet the requirements of the Charity Commission.
The governance arrangements of the Trust are explained in the Annual Report.
Equality and Fairness AnalysisThis is a routine report for which detailed
Equality Analysis is not required to be undertaken. The equality implications of
individual decisions relating to the projectslservices covered in this report are
addressed within other relevant reports.

Council Local Code of Corporate Governance. most recently in September 2017. The
Local Codc ufipiys togcthcr all the Council's corpGrate goverriance arrangemenLS in

C. Defining outcomes in terms of sustainable economic, social, and environmental
benefits
D. Determining the interventions necessary to optimise the achievement of the

example in respect of assessing and providing financial contributions to the Trust and
managing the Council's corporate assets) and the Council's role as Sole Trustee. This
is achieved by having a formal break at the end of Council meetings before moving on
to consider business as Sole Trustee. Such business includes the annual approval of
the Trustee's Annual Report and accounts.

the accounting and reporting framework applying to Charities in England and Wales for
accounting periods ending after 31 March 2015, as set out in the Charity Commission
document 'Charity Reporting and Accounting CC15c'.
There are three major influences on charity accounting and financial reporting:
the minimum requirements for keeping accounting records applying to all charities
(other than charitable companies) are set out in the Charities Act 2011
the legal requirements for the preparation of accounts and reports, set out in Part 8
of the Charities Act 2011 and, where appropriate, the related Charities (Accounts

'receipts and payments, basis. Receipts and payments accounts are statements that
summarise the movement of cash into and out of the charity during the financial year. In
this context cash" includes cash equivalents, for example, bank balances where cash can
be readily withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due. Receipts and payments
accounts do not include the value of financial transactions for which there is a contractual
commitment which has not yet been fulfilled by the transfer of cash i.e. payments owing at
the end of the year are not included within the accounts.
