The Governors of the Trust were informed on 30 October 2020 that OLIM Ltd would cease trading on 31 January 2021. A comprehensive review of four asset management companies was held on 9 December 2020, at which representatives of these companies made presentations by video conference.
The Governors agreed to select CCLA Investment Management Ltd, and to invest in the Charities Ordinary Investment Fund (COIF) of CCLA.
The capital fund of the Trust is now held by CCLA Investment Management Ltd, Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4ET.
The income due to be expended imminently by the Trust is held in a current account at Barclays Bank PLC, 20-21 Cornhill, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 1DY.
Paragraph 3 of the Variation of the Deed of Trust states that "The Governing Body shall hold the capital and income of the Trust Fund upon trust to apply the income and all or any part or parts of the capital as the Governing Body may from time to time think fit for or towards such charitable purposes as are hereinafter described"

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities
The objects of the Trust are to advance the education of the public in all aspects of agriculture and farming, by providing grants for training and research. In this context, agriculture and farming include the relevant sciences and practical crafts involved in farming and land management, and also in any ancillary trades, together with nature conservation. These objects are set out in full in section 4 of the Deed of Variation of 1990. The Governors confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in reviewing the grant making policy.
To achieve these objects, the Trust encourages application by individuals for grants for training, if they are not eligible for State-funded grants. It also encourages applications by agricultural research institutions for grant-aid for research projects (preferably conducted by young people starting their careers in research) that are likely to have a practical outcome for farming. Applications for grants by bodies intending to educate the public about the interaction between agriculture and nature conservation are also encouraged.
All applications for grants are made to the Administrator, who obtains all appropriate information about each application and presents them to the Governing Body for approval or rejection, at quarterly meetings. She then takes the consequential action.
Achievements and performance - grant rewards made during the year
Grant awards made during the year ending 31 March 2021
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, fewer students applied for grants, and most of the events normally supported by the Trust under the category Education of the Public were cancelled. This resulted in a reduction in expenditure on grants. Of the £98,950 spent on grants, £35,725 was dispensed in helping 23 students to receive training in agriculture and associated activities (these included 13 students of agriculture, 4 veterinary students, and 6 farriery apprenticeships). £15,754 was awarded in grants to 6 educational organisations and individuals to pay for the training of young people and farmers, for example, for Business Management courses, and Young Farmers' Clubs. £40,471 was allocated as grant aid for 7 research projects. One grant of £7,000 was awarded under the category of Education of the Public about agriculture and nature conservation. Approval was also given for further grants to be issued during the ensuing three years. (The grant figures shown above were those paid, whereas the Accounts show grants as the initial commitment entered into.) No land or other tangible assets were sold in the year reported on, such assets now only amounting to 0.65ha of bare land which is let for grazing

Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 20 July 2021 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

CHADACRE AGRICULTURAL TRUST
REGISTERED CHARITY NO: 310496
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Chadacre Agricultural Trust Year ended 31 March 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Chadacre Agricultural Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Chadacre Agricultural Trust (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REGISTERED CHARITY NO: 310496
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Chadacre Agricultural Trust (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
• we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with the administrator, and from our knowledge and experience of the sector;
• we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including relevant legislation such as the Charities Act;
• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
• identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
• making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias;
• investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions; and

CHADACRE AGRICULTURAL TRUST
REGISTERED CHARITY NO: 310496
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Chadacre Agricultural Trust
(continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

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 7 Manor Farm Lane, Drayton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire, LE16 8SW.
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 accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historic cost convention modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. The charity is exempt from preparing a cash flow statement under the exemption afforded by the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation arises. In the case of multi-year grants, provision is made for grants payable in future years where such an obligation exists at the balance sheet date, in accordance with the SORP.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets
The remaining property of the Chadacre Estate, comprising 0.65 ha of bare land,(consisting of a small field and a plot between two houses) is included in the accounts at a nominal value of £1. No provision is made for depreciation. The trustees have not quantified the difference between market value and nominal value. Other tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
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:
Office equipment - 25% straight line
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
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
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
