THE MACHYNLLETH TABERNACLE TRUST
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL
for the Year Ended 31st March 2025 Continued
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 13th March 1986. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which establishes the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £5.
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Council.
Due to the special nature of its activities, the trust's policy is to recruit trustees who have the appropriate experience and qualifications.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
- The objects of the charity as stated by its Memorandum of Association are :- to acquire and preserve for the public benefit any buildings and land in Wales which are of historical or architectural interest or are places of natural beauty, and more particularly, to preserve the former Methodist Chapel at Machynlleth in the County of Powys, and known as the Machynlleth Tabernacle.
to acquire and preserve for the public benefit any pictures, statues, furniture, books and other chattels, being of historic or artistic interest.
to advance the aesthetic education of the public in the arts by organising, presenting and promoting exhibitions, plays, operas, films, concerts and other similar activities, and
the advancement of education of the public in the study, use and appreciation of the Welsh language and culture.
In exercising their powers the trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Statement of Financial Activities shows total income of £378,720 and expenditure of £398,398 resulting in net expenditure of £19,678.
The net direct costs of staging various events at the Tabernacle are shown in notes 5 to 7 to the accounts.
All the assets as shown in the Balance Sheet are held for the purpose of the Trust's charitable objectives although a small rental income is also derived from Royal House. Full details of capital expenditure are shown in note 13 to the accounts.
After making appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, although funding is primarily dependent on significant voluntary donations. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently ;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent ; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue to operate.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The company has taken advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the report above.
Approved by the Council of Management on 22nd December 2025 and signed on its behalf by :
Dennis B Jone# (Director)

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MACHYNLLETH TABERNACLE TRUST
I report on the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31st March 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 22.
This report is made solely to the company's Directors, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's Directors those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Directors as a body, for my work or for this report.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Part 6 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to :
-
® examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act ;
-
® to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act ; and
-
® to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :
-
= to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 ; and ® to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102)
have not been met ; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts be reached.

THE MACHYNLLETH TABERNACLE TRUST
- Accounting Policies
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the Year Ended 3ist March 2025
a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Machynlleth Tabernacle Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
b)
Income
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or whena distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation

continued
c) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity.
d) Tangible Fixed Assets
The Tabernacle building (at its original valuation) together with expenditure on additions, extensions and improvements are capitalised and carried in the balance sheet at historical cost.
Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised at cost.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows : Annual Rate Musical Instruments 20% Equipment, Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings 10 - 20%
No depreciation has been provided on freehold property as the assets have a very long useful life and any depreciation charge or accumulated depreciation would not be material.
No depreciation has been provided on certain musical instruments where the residual value is not materially different from the carrying amount of the asset.
The charity owns a collection of works of art which are inalienable (the charity is prohibited by the donor's wishes from disposing of these). These heritage assets are of historical or artistic importance and are held to advance the presentation and educational objectives of the charity, and through public access contribute to the nation's culture and education. The original cost of most of these assets is not available and the directors do not consider the cost of carrying out a professional valuation to include these assets at a value in the accounts is justified by the usefulness of the information to the users of the accounts and to the charity for its own stewardship purposes.
-
e) Stock
-
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
g) Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
h) Financial Instruments
The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
i) Pensions
The charity contributes to employees’ pension plans and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the plans in respect of the year.
j) Funds
-
i) Endowment Funds Grants which have been given to the charity subject to the restriction that they are to be used to purchase or enhance the capital assets are treated as endowment funds.
-
ii) Restricted Funds Income received from public sector bodies and others to be used in furtherance of particular aspects of the objects of the charity is separated and treated as restricted funds.

The freehold properties are insured for £6,708,324 which is an estimate of their replacement cost.
The collection of works of art which are inalienable has not been included in the balance sheet because, in the opinion of the directors, the cost of professionally valuing these assets outweighs the benefits to the users of the accounts. They are insured for £637,100.
