September 2024. These comply with the governing documents of the Charity, the rel¢vant Statement of Reconunended
Practice (tbe Charities SORP 2015), Financial Reporting Stalldard 102 And the Cbarities Act 2011.
Th¢ Cbarity is registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales as Charity No. 313648 and at Companies
House as Company No. 00596938.
I. OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY
The object5 of the Charity are:
To preserve and maintain the buildings and fabric of Farnbam Castl¢ alld its environment by ensuring all required
groundworks, repairs or restoration are effectively conducted, safeguarding the scheduled ancient monument, listed
buildings. and entire sit¢ for future generations. In addition, the charity works to safeguard public access, and to
increase awareness, interest, and historical knowledge of a site of n]ajor historic and architectural interest.
2. C￿￿RITABLE ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Charity leases the Bishops, Palace from the Church Commissioners and is also responsible for the management of
the Keep (previously the responsibfftlity of English Heritage).
In August 2013, the ttuslees entered an UDderlease with Farnbam Casile Operations Ltd {"FCO") under which the revenue
from weddings and business ¢vents provides the fijndiog for castlc maintCDance and repair.
Entry to the Keep and nearby Exhibition Room is free of charge for all visitors. On Wednesday afternoons, guided iours
of the Bishop's Palace are gcnerally avAilAble, and are conducted by a small tellm of voluDteer &Tuid¢s.
The Charity's principal activities in pursUIt of its charitable objects were as follows:
Making the Keep and Bishop's Piilace available to the general public at zero OT low Lost for the purpose of
viewing the buildings and their setting and gainin&F an understanding of Farnhain Castle's Iiistorical importance
Working with FCO and the Church Cornmissioner5 to ensure that developments at the cas(le are undertaken in
sympatby with the historic nature of the site
Ensuring that FCO n)e¢t their obligations under the underlease to maintain thc fabric of Farnham Castle.
In preparing their slatements on publiG b¢nefLL contained within this tru5t¢C5' anuual r¢port, the tn￿teeS have. in
accordance with s.4 of the Charities A¢t 2011, considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefjt,
as well as the specific guidance on publi¢ benefit and fee charging.
3. OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
As stated above, the main source of income foT the Charity, the £25,000 p.a. rent received from FCO, has been secured
through to the end of September 2024.
Additional income has been gcnernted by the sale of postcards. the book "Farnham Castle - Stories behind the stonts,"
and Guidebook. In agreement with FCO. the tru5tee5 took responsibility for both the Keep gllides and those that lake
visitors for conducted tours of the Bishop's PaEace on Wednesday afternoons. This ha5 provided the Cbarity with a STnall
but not inconsequential revenue stream. The Charity'5 policy regarding tour fees remains unchanged. Tours are free lo
those under the age of18. school groups and groups helping under-privileged adults or those with disabilities. All othets
pay a litnited £5 entrance fee per adult. Entrall¢e to the Keep is free, but some visitors make small voluntary donations,
which come to the Charity.

nL4SLWL knll<UILy AJAfJAAufiJ ui ￿￿LUi1¥ nvub¥S AbbULlaLlUn Iririèij. wniisT memDeTS can De
included in Bishop's Palace tours without charge. the charity call reclaim 500/0 of the norn￿1 tour cost fee in March each
year. Records and members]]ip numbers of HHA visitors are kept and the r￿st of these additional fees will be reclaimed
in March 2025.
Jn September, the entire Castle site is usually opened to the pubEic as part of the town's Heritage Open Day festival, this
usually attracts 700-800 local vlsitors. UtLfortunately, FCO did not allow the site to be used for this purpose ID 2024, but
early discussions are plaDned to ensure a Teturn to the castle's inclusion in September 2025. Some additional events hav¢
been held, primarily to attract more young visitors. As well as hosting visits by scbools, supported by volunteer guides
and 'slorytellers.' the Charity has also sponso￿d some new events at the Keep and in the Exhibition are& at Halloween.
Once again, discussions with FCO aim to increase the Charity's ability to do this in 2025.
Palace tours have been increasingly widely promoted in 2024 to meet our commitment to increased public access and
knowledge, as well as to boost Charity revenues. Nearly 250 Palace tours were undertaken in the year up to September
2024.
Regarding maInt￿anCe and repairs to thc Castle's buildings in 2024, the Ch￿lty met all its obligations, objectives, and
stated responsibilities. In 2018, 8 detailed survey of all the Palace buildings WAS undertaken and priorities for maintenance
and i'epair agreed with the tenant. During 2023124 all the priority areas were addi'ess¢d, leaving only the very lowest
priority maintenance items to b¢ scheduled. This has now been done in Order to ensure annual, biennial or 5-yearly
inspections to maintain tbe high standards that have now been achieveiL

Trustees, & dtre¢tors' responslbilltles in the prepAratloll of flnanelal stateDJents
The tsvst¢es (who are also directors of th¢ Charity for the pU￿oseS of company law) are responsible for preparing the
trustees, anniial Teport and financial statements in accordance witb applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting
Standards (United Kinsydom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law require5 the trustec5 to prepare
financial stat¢ments for cach f￿ancial yeai. which give a truc and fail. view of the stale of affairs of the chai'itable company
and ot. the incomÈng resources and application of resour¢es, including the income and expendittwe, of the charitable
company for that peiiod.
In preparing those financial statements, th¢ trustees and directors are required 10:
select suitable a¢¢ounting policies and then apply them consistently,
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
stste whelher applicable UK A¢¢ounting Standards bave been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the finaDLial statements. and
prepare the fmancial statements on tbe going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity
will continue on that basis.
The trustees and directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy
at any litne the fmancial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure tbat the f￿ancial slalements ¢omply
with the Companies Act 2006. They are alsu rcsponsftble for safeglthrding the assets of the ¢harttabl¢ company and hence
for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud atLd other itTegularities.
The trnstees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Go￿orate and financial inforn]ation on the charitabl¢
cotnpany's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of f]nancial
statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictioos.

eserves
The tsustees, policy regarding reserves is to make suitable investment in the ongoing developjnent of the Charity, whilst
maintaining adequate fjmds to deal with ¢urr¢nt and medium-temi needs and having the necessary provision to deal with
unforeseen circun)stances. The trustees believe that free reserves of around £1 00,000 are commensurate with the lik¢ly
fiuancial commitments of the Charity under the allangements with FaTllham Casde Operatioijs Ltd.
At 30 September 2024, the Charity's free reserves, excluding flxed assets (other tban investments) and iestricted fi2nds.
were £180,272 (2023: £174,078). The trustees consider that this amount is adequate to meet the financial obligations of
the Charity over the medium terni.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees have the investmcnt powers set out in the memorattdum and articlcs of association to invest ill any
investmellts, se¢urities or properties, monies that the company does not immediately need.
Trustees, llldemnity Insurance
Th¢ Company has made qualifying third-paty indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors and volunteers during
the year. These provisions remain in force at the reporting date.
Independent oxamlner
The scale of the Charity's activities and net assets is at a level that does not necessitate an independent audit of the
fmancial statements. However, by virtu¢ of th¢ Charity's income, an independent ¢xamination of the fmancial statements
is required, Keith Graham Chartered Accountants have expressed their willingness to conduct an independent
examination of the financial statements.
This report has been prcpared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small compatties
