THE SALTISFORD CANAL TRUST LIMITED
DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] OCTOBER 2023
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] October 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, governance and management
The charity has an executive committee of 9 Trustees who meet about every 6/8 weeks throughout the year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.
The Trustees have delegated day to day responsibility for administration of the charity with the Company Secretary.
The Saltisford Canal Trust Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee and without a share capital. The governing documents are the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company was incorporated on 23[rd] November 1983.
The Directors, who are also the Trustees of the charitable company, who served in the reporting period are listed on page 3. Appointment of Trustees is governed by the Articles of Association of the charitable company. The Board of Trustees is authorised to appoint new Trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing Director. Only members of the charitable company are eligible for appointment as Director. The induction of a new Trustee involves being made aware of a Trustee’s responsibilities, the governing document, the administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity.
Objective and activities
The object of the Trust is the promotion of the use by the public of the Satisford Canal arm of the Grand Union Canal at Warwick. This includes the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation at or near to the Satisford canal by promoting the restoration and improvement of the Saltisford canal and its use by all appropriate forms of waterborne traffic through the provision of moorings and, to safeguard and improve the navigation and canal heritage for all visitors by providing facilities for boaters and visitors of the waterside gardens.
To advance education of adults and children about the heritage and environment of canals through the provision of a range of media and resources.
Achievements and performance
The results of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] October 2023 are set out on page 8 of the attached financial statements. There was a surplus of income over expenditure in the year of £16,085 (2022: £ (9,725) deficit).
THE SALTISFORD CANAL TRUST LIMITED
DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] OCTOBER 2023
Financial review
The trading situation during the period had largely stabilised, but visitor moorings were still down.
Alan Lorentzen, CEO for a number of years, resigned in March, and shortly afterwards, Ian Newman, Site Manager for many years retired. Both had made substantial contributions over the years to The Arm and our thanks are on record. However, this did obviously cause some upheaval. Moving on, the Trustees implemented a flexible management approach, which they oversee and this is working satisfactorily.
Saltisford Arm is enormously grateful for the input both by our long term volunteers and also to the ‘corporate team day’ volunteers for their hard work and commitment. This has enabled us to further improve the site.
We have continued to maintain financial stability. At 31[st] October 2023 the Trust held unrestricted general reserves of £94,200 (2022: £75,000) and designated reserves of £42,343 (2022: £45,458).
The Trust aims to hold at least £45,000 in general reserves to cover the operating costs should any catastrophic events cause the Trust to have reduced income for a period of time.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charitable company to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equate to approximately 9 months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. Unrestricted funds are maintained at least at this level throughout the year.
Risk Review
The Directors actively review the major risk which the Charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Directors have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Public benefit
The Trustees have applied the guidance from the Charities Commission relating to the public benefit. Public benefit is inherent in the objectives of the Trust.
Future Plans
The trustees will continue to develop the site to provide facilities to educate adults and children about the heritage and development of canals.
THE SALTISFORD CANAL TRUST LIMITED
DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] OCTOBER 2023
Director’s responsibilities
Company Law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period that gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing these statements, the Directors are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable 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 company will continue in operation.
The Directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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.
The report of the directors has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in the Companies Act 2006.
Approval
This report was approved by the Trustees on ………………….and signed on their behalf.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on my examination of the accounts of the charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] October 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 17.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors 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 under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.
