THE BOSTON PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED
DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2016).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects of the charity, principal activities and organisation of our work
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association which were revised and adopted on 13 October 2018.
The charity’s objects are stated in full in the Articles of Association, 2018. They are to preserve for the public benefit buildings and lands of historic or architectural significance, and to promote the re-use of such buildings, and to encourage public support for and involvement in all these activities. The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Commission.
The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. There were 2 part time employees. The administration is conducted through the registered office at Fydell House, and by the trustees in an honorary capacity. The collection of rents during the year was carried out by the trust.
The charity has benefited from the services provided by volunteers. It is estimated that the value of this is £77,440 for the year 31 December 2023 (based on 3872 hours at £20.00 per hour) (Year 31 December 2022 £84,300).
Development, activities and achievements this year
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory. The trust has continued to carry out refurbishment works on the properties, in order to maintain them. However, this enhancement has resulted in the charity being able to increase rents on the properties that have been refurbished which allows them to carry on the trust's objectives.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a deficit for the year 31 December 2023 of £27,588 (2022 surplus £69,309) and our reserves stand at £208,918 in total, of which £238,068 are unrealised revaluation reserves and £12,393 is a capital contribution with regards to the FRS102 adjustment in respect of the interest free loan from a former director and trustee. The unrestricted general funds stand at a deficit of £41,543 and the restricted fund stands at £Nil.
Heritage assets
The properties which are held as part of the Company's objects, namely to preserve, restore and manage buildings of architectural merit are classified as Heritage Assets. Their market value is estimated at £4,346,721 compared to the amount stated in the accounts at £265,000.
Investment policy and objectives
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have decided that excess monies shall be placed in interest bearing accounts or on deposit.
Reserves policy
The present level of funding and reserves is not sufficient to cover the restoration and refurbishment of the properties, therefore financial arrangements have been made to cover this necessary expenditure, as well as increasing the rents charged.

DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
FUTURE PLANS
The charity continues to undertake significant works on the properties it owns and expects this to continue in the future to ensure that these remain in appropriate conditions as per the charity's objects.
The charity has been preparing the development phase for a project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), to apply for a significant grant to support a project to address the condition of and future activities within Fydell House.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Directors and trustees
All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity, and there are no other trustees. The board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit to do so.
Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, they believe the charity could provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are required by law to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the financial activities of the charity and of its financial position at the end of that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and with applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practices, 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 assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”).

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
The Boston Preservation Trust Limited is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2016)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Grant income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the conditions for receipt have been met.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer Equipment 5 years straight line Plant and Machinery 5 years straight line Fixtures and Fittings 5 years straight line
Heritage Assets
The properties are held as part of the charity’s object, namely to preserve, restore and manage properties of architectural merit. The properties are, where possible, rented to third parties on a commercial basis.
These assets are an integral part of the charity’s object, as they are being held for preservation purposes they are classified as Heritage Assets, rather than Investment Properties or Program Related Investments. The properties are held at the valuation conducted May 1997. The company has followed the transitional provisions of FRS 15 and has not updated the valuation.
The properties are not depreciated as the residual value of the properties exceeds their carrying value. The company incurs significant expenditure in repairing and refurbishing the properties. This expenditure is written off to the SOFA unless there has been an enhancement to the properties such as an extension increasing the capacity of the building or a major refurbishment when such expenditure is capitalised.

16. PROPERTY – Insured Amount
17. SHARE CAPITAL
The company is incorporated under the Companies Act as a Guarantee Company. No share capital has been issued. In the event of the company’s winding up each member may be required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 as a contribution towards the debts and liabilities of the company.
18. GOING CONCERN
The unrestricted funds are in deficit at the year end. The deficit has arisen due to some major repairs being required on the properties to enable full rents to be charged. These repairs have been financed by way of a loan from Mr A B Isaac, a former director and trustee, repayments of which cannot commence before 2025. Accordingly with this continuing support the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
