## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)**
## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2020.
## **Chair's report**
2019/20 has proven to be another very successful year for Horticap tinged by concerns over the impact of COVID-19 and the lockdown which came into force at the end of March 2020. We have enjoyed continued commercial success across all of our charitable and commercial operations and have strengthened further our Trustee Board.
We have made significant progress on the construction of the new café, shop and exhibition facilities that were reported in the 2019 Trustee Annual Report. The architect and potential contractor delays that were reported last year have been overcome in no small measure down to the experience, drive and determination of Trustee Rob Bath who has professionally delivered the most complex and significant project that Horticap has ever undertaken. We now look forward to completion of the project with an official opening scheduled for October 2020 subject to COVID-19 restrictions being in place at the time. The new building will transform the facilities that we can offer to our students, customers and visitors and we see its completion as the start of a new chapter in our development.
The measures introduced to counter the COVID-19 outbreak have unfortunately led to our students being unable to access the site and we are doing our best to keep contact with them remotely.
Over the years we have been careful with our funds, maintaining a cushion of £200,000 which would cover the operation of the charity if it ever had to face financially challenging times. Whilst we have continued to enjoy the continued support of our local authority partners and public we are confident that we can see Horticap emerging from the pandemic in a strong financial position.

## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
## **Appointment of Trustee Directors**
Initially, potential trustees are identified from the local community using the knowledge of existing Board members who have an extensive network of contacts. Before any appointment, potential trustees will meet the other Board members, if appropriate as an observer at a Board meeting. A copy of directors' responsibilities is made available to them together with other documents outlining the general responsibilities of a trustee. On appointment a full induction programme is provided.
During the year the Board continued with its policy that, other than in exceptional circumstances, the maximum tenure of Trustees should be 9 years and that Trustees should be subject to re-election every 3 years. This is in line with the latest guidance from the Charities Commission and will serve to refresh the talent available to Horticap Limited at Trustee level and will in consequence see a number of appointments and retirements in the years to come as current Trustees reach their maximum tenure period.
## **Responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 Charities SORP;
- make judgements and 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 charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping 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. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Objectives**
The charity's objective as stated in the Memorandum & Articles of Association is the relief of persons who are physically handicapped or mentally handicapped.

## **Activities**
At Bluecoat Wood Nurseries, Horticap provides supported employment and continuing education primarily for people with learning disabilities. The company raises funds to help finance the activities and operates a nursery garden, retail shop and undertakes garden maintenance commissions.
The site is run by a general manager, an administration manager and a part time accounts manager along with 4 full time and 5 part time staff. They are supported by over 30 volunteers and a board of between 7 and 9 directors/trustees.
## **Public Benefit**
Our main activities include teaching horticulture, garden maintenance, woodwork, crafts and allied skills to adults with learning disabilities. Our aim is to improve the life skills of these students to enhance their quality of life and in so doing integrate them more fully into the community in which they live.
We do this at our 4 acre site which now has greenhouses, polytunnels, a workshop/recycling facility, mess room, tool store, education block, a retail shop and tea room along with a show garden, pond, bird hide and wildlife trail.
The students receive such training as their varying abilities allow and also help with all the tasks associated with running a nursery/garden centre. Whilst carrying out these tasks, they are also learning spatial awareness, eye to hand coordination and are benefiting from interaction with others. The trained instructors are supported by a team of volunteers in order to give each student the help needed.
The produce from the nursery is sold through the shop, at the Harrogate Flower Show and at other events. A newsletter is produced three times per year for students, carers and members of the public and information about the organisation is also available on the website (www.horticap.org), on Facebook and via Twitter. The retail outlet is staffed by 3 part time employees and additional part time support is brought into the tea room at peak times.
## **Achievements and performance**
Demand for student places has again been high throughout the year and we have operated at full capacity in terms of facilities, instructors and volunteers.
Income from student funding which comes mainly via the Self Directed Care Scheme operated by North Yorkshire and other councils was down very slightly by 1.0% on last year reflecting minor changes in attendance but we remain at full capacity for students.
Donations (voluntary income) were £65,243 (2019 £37,610) none of which was restricted for capital or revenue purposes. This is a significant increase on 2019 reflecting the continued support we have received from the local community and charitable trusts in the North Yorkshire region and beyond.
Together with our own social enterprise earnings we generated a surplus of £51,587 (2019 £43,950) in year ending 31 March 2020. In addition to income from donations our underpinning charitable and commercial performance remains strong.
The review of staffing levels is an ongoing activity in Horticap to ensure we have the appropriate levels of support and supervision for our students.
We continue to try to improve our facilities for the benefits of students and staff and we have been able to make improvements to the mess room and toilet facilities this year.
Horticap has grown again this year. The increase in our available funds will mean that in the future

## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
we should be able to help more people with learning disabilities whilst providing an environment which is continually evolving and improving. We spend a lot of time on safety and risk management with well
established processes throughout the organisation. We continue to win awards at public horticultural shows and our profile in the community is gradually increasing.
All these achievements are as a result of enormous hard work and enthusiasm by our dedicated staff and volunteers who are in turn well supported by local businesses and the community.
## **Financial Review**
Trustees aim to maintain a sensible level of unrestricted net current assets to enable them to react to major reductions in funding levels from existing sources. In previous years that target figure has been £200,000 which represented about 6 months of operating costs. The directors consider that £200,000 is a sensible target as short-term cost reduction measures are available to the trustees to enable them to reduce costs quickly if student numbers were to decline quickly due to lack of funding. Unrestricted net current assets at 31 March 2020 were £756,950 (£829,427 at 31 March 2019). The reduction mainly results from capital expenditure on the new shop/ café and completion of the Mess Room (£141,962) being offset by the surplus for the year (£51,587). The trustees have continued to categorise £350,000 (£500,000 in 2019) as “designated funds” which are earmarked for the shop and café development which commenced during the financial year and is expected to be complete during August 2020.
## **Investment Policy**
Horticap’s investment strategy restricts investment of surplus funds to risk free investments subject to forecast surplus funds being less than £250,000 over a five year review period. In the event of a £250,000 surplus being available for more than 5 years other financial instruments would be considered subject to professional advice. The position is reviewed annually and presently the trustees do not consider other financial instruments to be appropriate.
During the year, surplus funds were held in fixed interest deposit accounts, less than £85,000 per banking licence holder although funds with our bankers HSBC exceeded that level during the year.
## **Going Concern and Financial Reporting**
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **Plans for future periods**
We consider that our student population is currently at capacity. Further growth in numbers is limited by facilities on site and by the ability to provide students with good quality activities in the winter months and during inclement weather. We have completed work on increasing the size of our mess room in order to provide better facilities for our students. We commenced work on our new café and shop facility during 2020 which will enable us to expand our retail and catering offers. This in turn will provide some increased capacity to help other potential students to join us and to widen the scope of activity for some of current student to learn new skills under careful supervision.
We are mindful that we can be adversely affected by future cost saving initiatives from local government in the adult social care spectrum but we can only react to that if it happens, and maintain a sensible level of reserves to help to manage any impact.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
## **1. General information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 3 Greengate, Cardale Park, Harrogate, HG3 1GY.

## **3. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **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.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Tangible assets**
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **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:
Freehold Land & Buildings - 2% - 10% straight line Plant & Machinery - 20% straight line Office Equipment - 3 years straight line Polytunnels - 25% straight line
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
## **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 charity 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.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 March 2020**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Financial instruments** _**(continued)**_
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
