The Charity’s principal legal advisers and auditors are shown on page 2.
Structure, Governance and Management

Page 3
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The Finance and General Purposes Committee meets at least biannually and its role is to supervise the assets, investments and all financial and administrative affairs of the Charity. It supervises budgetary matters and recommends approval of the annual budget to the Trustees, as well as reviewing the pay and remuneration of the Charity’s key management personnel. The Audit Committee meets biannually; its role is to review the annual reports, accounts, auditors’ reports and to report on them to the Trustees. It is also responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of internal controls and for the identification and management of risk. The Collections Committee manages any conflicts of interest arising in relation to the loan of collections to the Charity by the 7th Earl of Harewood's Will Trust, the Lascelles family or other family trusts. The Nominations Committee meets when required. The Trust Director is responsible for day-to-day management and implementing decisions of the Trustees.
The Charity owns all of the share capital of Harewood House Trading Limited, the activities and results of which are shown at note 22 on page 35. During the year ended 31 December 2021, Harewood House Trading delivered the non-primary purpose trading activities of the group. Harewood House Trading is fully consolidated within the group accounts, where applicable, which increases the level of turnover, assets and liabilities.
Recruitment, Induction and Training of Trustees
The Trust regularly reviews the balance of skills and experience of its Trustees. When required, due to Trustee retirements or the identification of skills and experience gaps, it seeks to identify and recruit suitable new Trustees through the Nominations Committee, from a diverse background.
On appointment, Trustees are given an induction to the work of the Charity and provided with the information necessary for them to perform their role successfully, including a copy of the governing document of the Charity, a copy of recent Annual Reports and the Charity Commission’s guidance, “CC3a – The Essential Trustee: What you need to know” and its guidance on operating for the public benefit.
Objectives and Activities
In setting the objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Charity holds a lease for Harewood House and surrounding lands. The objectives of the Charity are:
-
to preserve for the public benefit Harewood House, its ancillary buildings, gardens, arboreta, woodlands and park, which the Charity holds on long lease; and works of art that have been acquired by the Charity, or donated or loaned by the Earl of Harewood, the late 7[th] Earl of Harewood’s estate or other family trusts;
-
to promote the study of Harewood as a place of historic and cultural interest and natural beauty;
-
to provide facilities for recreation and leisure time occupations;
-
to advance the education of the public in the arts and sciences.
In order to achieve its objectives in the year ended 31 December 2021, the Charity undertook the following where possible within the restrictions caused by COVID-19:
-
maintaining the historic buildings and gardens and continuing to conserve and interpret the collections;
-
maximising access and quality service to all visitors, including those with disabilities;
-
developing exhibitions, programmes, publications and educational activities to promote engagement with the collections;
-
providing a range of events which are in sympathy with the inherent qualities of Harewood;
-
encouraging public funding, corporate partnerships through sponsorship and fundraising activities to support the charity;
-
invested in development of membership.

Strategic Report
A - Achievements and Performance
Whilst the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic continued to significantly affect all of our lives, Harewood was able to offer a safe haven for all those who visited; building great outdoor activity for the benefit of our audience’s wellbeing; re-opening the House; and implementing programming that provoked our visitors into conversations about societal issues. The programme focused particularly on mental health and well-being, and diversity and inclusion, whilst extending the use of spaces across Harewood’s site, and became a pivotal player in how our communities were spending their spare time. With the continued support of DCMS and Arts Council England’s Culture Recovery Fund, as well as project support from Arts Council England for launching the next Harewood Biennial (Harewood’s flagship programme), Harewood saw its highest recorded visitor numbers and loyal members, which gave the educational charitable Trust a vital boost in income to promote sustainable recovery from the ongoing financial impacts of Covid-19.
Harewood began 2021 with a view to making as much of the site accessible to as many people as possible, despite Covid-19 restrictions meaning that indoor areas may have to close, and alternating and frequently changing government guidelines. The Trust’s agile gardens and creative team developed a new walking route, the Three Parks Walk , across two areas previously inaccessible to visitors, and extending it into existing areas, which created a three-mile wellbeing walk suitable for the whole family. As well as developing our visitor’s experience of the site, it gave our Members new activities to do, encouraged everyone to get out in the open, and offered new viewpoints of Harewood’s stunning landscape, previously unseen by many.
In March the Trust completed the restoration of the Terrace undercroft and balustrade, a project funded by Historic England and DCMS as part of their Programmes of Major Works from the Autumn of 2020. Further funding was received from Historic England through their Covid-19 Emergency Heritage grant. These funds were used for a Feasibility study for our walled garden.
Programming is key to ensuring our audience and member engagement is high and repeat visits are encouraged. The walking route was therefore boosted by two significant investments: first, a mindful outdoor exhibition from graphic artist Anthony Burrill, with support from Leeds MIND, encouraging visitors to explore the site whilst offering space and quiet to contemplate everything that was happening in the world, and second, a brand-new woodland play area for KS1 and 2-aged children to learn and explore in an imaginative, natural and fun way. We also invested in dedicated mental health and well-being training for our staff and volunteers, appointed 2 new mental health ambassadors, launched our second annual wellness week and we continued to promote our Employee Assistance Scheme, encouraging a culture of openness and support.
As the year continued, the Trust was able to explore indoor programming once more. Building on Harewood’s ambition to address its difficult history, in order to encourage conversations around equality, diversity and inclusion, two new strands of exhibition activity were launched as part of Open History . The first was a commitment to exploring the stories of people from diverse backgrounds who have made a significant impact on Yorkshire, past and present, launching with the story of George ‘Bertie’ Robinson in association with Diasporian Stories Research Group. The second launch was for a brand-new Craft Spotlight series that would focus on an emerging artist of colour currently working in the UK. The Trust was also able to explore using the Church as an exhibition space for the first time in many years. Working with Churches Conversation Trust, Harewood and glass artist Chris Day presented a moving exhibition of the artist’s works, including new commissions for Harewood exploring its history in the sugar trade and enslavement of people of colour.
Harewood’s prominence in being open and honest about its past, and the Lascelles’ commitment to sharing its history, have put Harewood amongst the most forward-thinking organisations in the country, tackling their difficult past, whilst encouraging greater openness and commitment to making a positive impact on society today. This led
Page 5
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
to Harewood’s inclusion in a one-hour ITV documentary special, ‘ Has George Floyd changed Britain’ , which aired a year after Floyd’s murder, and a year after the Black Lives Matter movement became so prominent worldwide and in Channel 5 documentary series 1000 Years A Slave with the actor David Harewood. Alongside this we worked on our ongoing learning projects with GCF and the British Museum, Leeds Curriculum and Bradford Prevent. Whilst our commitment to making the visitor experience more inclusive has led to our Dementia Friendly training, Autism Awareness review and our proud support of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme.
During the autumn, we continued to think about how we can make a difference to the impending climate crisis, loss of natural habitat and the conservation needs of our 3 collections and heritage site. We continue to work with the Estate on their sustainability ambitions, whilst making the Trust’s existing environmental activities more explicit. This includes initiatives such as ‘no-dig’ in the walled garden, the replacement of bedding plants with perennial planting and herbs, and confirming our commitment to craft and regenerative design for the Harewood Biennial in 2022; Radical Acts; How Craft Heals . Alongside this we improved the visitor environment with a new Bothy Teahouse, outdoor canopy and courtyard furniture made from ocean plastic waste.
2021 finished with a new acquisition for the collection from the inaugural Harewood Biennial: Max Lamb’s commissioned rugs for the Yellow Drawing Room and very successful Christmas season for the Trust, welcoming back Leeds-based theatrical studio Lord Whitney. Lord Whitney were commissioned to create site-specific installation; ‘ Upon a Christmas Wish’ , whilst alongside the beautifully imagined and narrative-based journeys through the House, new light trails were added to parts of Harewood’s parkland, allowing its walkways to be used more extensively in the winter months and allowing visitors to explore more of the site after dark with longer opening hours than ever before.
We were overwhelmed by the support of individual donors over the last twelve months, responding to the financial losses of the charity during the pandemic, visitors chose to top up their ticket purchases online, donate in person or join our Adopt a Book Scheme, directly supporting the ongoing conservation of the Designated Collections
The immense efforts of the team and volunteers to ensure that Harewood stays relevant to our audience during difficult times, and to create a space where everyone could find joy and wellbeing, led to a £204,029 increase on targeted visitor income for the charity, an uplift to Membership of £69,569 and a Membership renewal rate exceeding expectations of 74.6%. Maximising on the audience experience through retail and Harewood’s food and drink offer also gave the business a boost of £448,237, 74% above the expected budget, despite only re-opening part way through the year. Online retail sales grew by 11% on the previous year and a new series of premium experiences and workshops generated a healthy return. Ongoing Covid-19 restrictions led to the postponement of many planned outdoor events but this loss was compensated by new opportunities, including a drive-in cinema, an outdoor run of the West End musical ‘Mamma Mia!’, and the Picnic Proms series – all planned from the outset with social distancing in mind. All these successes mitigated against areas of continued loss, including the Group Booking market being one of the last to return to operation following the worst of the pandemic, and Education bookings being cancelled due to strict school guidelines on operating outside the classroom.
In addition, operational changes made during 2020 ensured that the Trust could act in a more agile, flexible way throughout 2021, maximising every penny of charity income, with advance ticketing continuing throughout the period, enabling better-planned administration and financial control, and ensuring that new staff appointments were focussed on areas that were going to be highly-effective to the business, such as Membership.
In spite of Covid-19, the team, including so many incredible volunteers at Harewood, worked tirelessly to ensure we stayed open, exciting and relevant for our communities and audiences from far and wide. Whilst the pandemic undoubtedly had an impact on the well-being and resilience of the team, and society as a whole, the enthusiasm and loyal support of our Members for Harewood, grew from strength-to-strength, putting Harewood in a strong and resilient place amongst its industry colleagues in how it can now define and develop its future.

B - Financial Review
The results for the year ended 31 December 2021 are shown on page 17 in the consolidated statement of financial activity (incorporating the income and expenditure account). Net assets have increased to £18,113,060 from £17,698,087 a movement of £414,973 inclusive of all donations and unrealised gains on investments. The results for the year and the balance sheet of Harewood House Trading Limited are shown at note 22 (page 35), and the results are consolidated within these accounts.
Overall income from day visitor and membership admissions increased by 55% from the prior year to a total of £2,048,988 (2020- £1,322,653). Within this number, visitor and membership admissions under gift aid was up on prior year at £776,721 (2020- £743,959). These increases in income are due to the gradual return to full operations after the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 in 2020. Costs of generating voluntary income decreased to £1,001,507 (2020- £1,258,038). Fundraising and trading costs increased to £1,313,266 (2020- £779,426). This increase in costs due to the higher levels of activity following the pandemic. Expenditure on charitable activities increased to £1,694,980 (2020 - £1,553,818).
The Trust’s trading activities (events, retail, catering and film work) generated a surplus of £308,150 for the year (2020- £18,069).
The overall consolidated surplus of the charity for the year was £414,973 (2020- deficit £340,519), which included non-admissions related grants and donations of £975,207 (2020 - £1,452,835) as shown in Note 4. This includes £19,297 (2020 - £192,631) of income from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).
The unrestricted endowment fund (comprised of Heritage Assets) at 31 December 2021 was valued at £10,088,916 (2020- £10,088,916). The Endowment Fund, established in 2015 was valued at £3,001,297 at 31/12/2021 (2020 - £2,742,926). £304,781 has been used from the restricted fund during the year leaving a balance at 31 December 2021 of £563,185 (2020- £867,966).
There are £11,501,050 (2020 - £11,501,050) of heritage works of art which are maintained and displayed for the public benefit. These were last valued during 2016. These assets represent a small proportion of the works of art made available by the Trust for the public benefit, the rest of which are loaned to the Trust from the estate of the 7[th] Earl of Harewood, other Lascelles family trusts and family members.
C – Investment Policy & Investment Performance
The power to appoint investment managers is reserved to the Board of Trustees on the recommendation of the Finance & General Purposes Committee. The latter has responsibility for monitoring investment managers and for conducting a review of investment performance.
Following the creation of the Endowment Fund in December 2015, Cazenove Capital Limited were appointed investment managers in 2016 and the funds were invested in accordance with the investment policy and objectives.
The investment objective for the Trust’s Endowment Fund is to maximise income to support the ongoing activities of the Trust whilst maintaining the value of the capital. This involves an acceptance of medium to high risk and is likely to mean that the capital value will fluctuate.
The investment objective for the Trust’s Capital & Projects fund is to ensure assets are readily available to meet planned, and any emergency, capital and project costs and is held in cash.
The investment objective for the Trust’s short-term reserves, also held in cash, is to preserve the capital value with a minimum level of risk. Assets should be readily available to meet unanticipated cash flow requirements.
Page 7
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
In February 2021 it was approved that the entire investment portfolio should be switched into Cazenove’s Responsible Multi-Asset Fund (RMAF). This was implemented in April 2021.
The Finance & General Purposes Committee regularly review performance with the investment managers. The Committee was satisfied overall with the performance of the investment portfolio during the year, taking account of the general market uncertainties.
In 2021 dividends and interest were received from the fund of £86,130 (2020 - £85,536).
D – Reserves policy
Harewood House Trust Limited is reliant on the following sources of income:
-
Donations and admissions income from visitors and from Harewood members
-
Investment income generated from the Endowment Fund (which had a capital value of £3.0m at 31[st] December 2021)
-
Profits generated by Harewood House Trading through events facility fees, catering, retail and other nonprimary purpose income.
-
Other sponsorship, grant and donation income.
As at 31 December 2021, the Trust had total funds of £18,113,060. This includes a restricted Endowment Fund of £3,001,297. The reserves shown as an unrestricted endowment fund of £10,088,916 could only be realised by disposing of the Trust’s tangible fixed assets (including heritage assets).
The Trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the Trust and consider that it has access to adequate resources to be able to fund its operations for the foreseeable future. However, to reduce reliance on related party support, the Trustees have a target to maintain free reserves of at least one fifth of budgeted visitor admissions income to enable the Trust to deal with fluctuations in income levels. At 31 December 2021, the Trust had net current assets of £204, 792 (2020- £129,330), against a free reserves target of £422,762.
E – Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Trustees continually assess the risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks and also to minimise or manage any potential impact on the Trust should those risks materialise. The principal risks and uncertainties identified are shown below, with actions to address those risks. The Trust’s Risk Register is reviewed as an ongoing agenda point for Senior Management Meetings and Trustee Committee meetings.
Risk of damage or loss to the House & Collections
The Trust has put in place and regularly reviews and updates: comprehensive security systems; systems designed to prevent and detect potential damage in particular to the House and its collections by fire, flood or other peril; emergency disaster and evacuation plans; expert advised care, maintenance and restoration plans. Insurance cover is in place and regularly reviewed to ensure that it remains appropriate.
Reputational and public liability risks
There are potentially serious reputational impacts (including reduced visitor numbers or event bookings; disruption to opening; prosecutions or fines) resulting from an incident, accident or general poor performance concerning either the Trust’s own operations or a third party hosted event. The Trust’s approach to addressing these risks includes: health & safety systems and procedures; staff training; a focus on the management and maintenance of
Page 8
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
the physical areas open to visitors; close monitoring of the outsourced catering partners; careful management of third party event contracts; proactive public relations plans in the event of an incident; seeking and monitoring feedback from visitors: and maintaining public liability insurance.
Economic risks
Income levels are strongly impacted by visitor and membership numbers, which in turn are affected by weather. The Trust will develop and improve the visitor offer and to seek ways to mitigate the risk of reliance on visitors by diversifying income streams from Trading and Fundraising. Financial risks from running events have been effectively transferred to third parties as the Trust receives a facility fee for externally organised events at Harewood. The establishment of the Endowment Fund in 2015 is helping to provide additional income to contribute towards the Trust’s operational revenue. The Trust will increasingly seek opportunities for grant funding in order to reduce reliance on support from the Harewood Estate and/or family members.
The Trust is also exposed to price or liquidity risk through changes in interest rates and to the credit risk of the securities it holds. Equity holdings within the investment portfolio are subject to market volatilities. The Trustees have appointed qualified investment managers to manage these risks.
Conflicts of interest risks
The necessarily close relationship of the Trust with the Harewood Estate and related family members brings risks of conflict of interest with family Trustees. Actions taken to address these risks include: formal agreements to govern the relationship and transactions between the Trust and Estate; maintaining a conflicts of interest register; maintaining detailed records of transactions between the Trust, Estate and family members which are reviewed by independent Trustees on the Finance & General Purposes Committee; an employee Whistleblowing Policy; ensuring independent Trustees take decisions on any matters with a potential conflict; and receiving ongoing guidance from legal advisers and formal loan agreements for works of art placed on loan by the Lascelles family.
In order to indemnify the Trustees against the consequences of neglect or default on their part, the Charity has purchased indemnity insurance. The cost is shown on page 28, note 13.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 presented a number of potential risks that were consistently reviewed by Trust management and a Recovery Plan was put in place. During 2021 some of the initiatives implemented in the Recovery Plan helped to both increase revenues and reduce costs. The Trust was successful in obtaining grant funding from the Cultural Recovery Fund which helped support a range of projects that further aided income generation and in some areas was budget relieving.

F – Plans for future periods
Harewood has many exciting plans for 2022, and with the end of Covid restrictions, will see a return to many of its pre-pandemic activities, as well as a renewed commitment to using the incredible collections and grounds at Harewood to address ongoing urgent issues of our time; health and well-being, the environmental crisis and greater diversity and inclusion.
Following 2021’s Winter Weekends sell-out to Members with drastically reduced capacity – 2022 will see this winter opening expanded to include the House and full access to the Grounds, Gardens and Bird Garden on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout January to late March, including full opening throughout half-term week. An exhibition on Princess Mary, the former Princess Royal and Countess to the 6th Earl of Harewood, will celebrate 100 years since their marriage.
A year later than originally planned, the Harewood Biennial will return from late March right until the end of the summer season. ‘ Radical Acts: Why Craft Matters’ will once again welcome artists, makers and studios to explore issues of the environment and sustainability, community, and equality, diversity and inclusion through craft and craftsmanship. This flagship programme has already received Arts Council England project grant funding of £63,000, which has enabled Harewood to commission makers and artists who may not have otherwise had commissions due to the pandemic.
As part of the Biennial, there will be a renewed commitment to developing Harewood’s outdoor offer, offering an opportunity to highlight Harewood’s ambitions to help better address the climate crisis. A specially commissioned treehouse from environmentalist and designer Sebastian Cox will be built in the woodlands adjacent to the North Park Walk, further expanding this new area of the site but also providing a learning space to educate around forestry management, whilst two areas of outdoor seating will extol the use of hemp and recycled plastics to create objects with zero carbon impact and reuse of existing materials.
Heading into the Autumn, Harewood’s Open History series will continue, focusing on Leeds Carnival founder Arthur France to coincide with the launch of a newly commissioned Portrait series for the Collection. Whilst Harewood’s Winter Festival will see the House once more re-imagined by artists commissioned to reflect Harewood’s stories or ambitions creating a truly unique, thought-provoking yet inspiring festive experience. Outdoor lighting will be developed further to enable people to enjoy more of the site after dark – something that has been a great benefit to visitors and the Trust alike since 2020.
Funding for a new digital masterplan, with inclusion at its heart, will be sought, following an in-depth study and strategic plan for Harewood’s digital future created with the support of the Cultural Recovery Fund in 2021. Engaging audiences online – new and current – is strategically more important than ever as digital channels continue to grow as story-telling and knowledge development platforms for all. This applies as much to our 300 strong volunteer base, as well as existing and new audiences.
Throughout Harewood’s programming, and indeed throughout all of the charity’s strategic ambitions, equality, diversity and inclusion remain at the forefront of Harewood’s agenda, using the Collections, House and its history as a lens through which we can contribute to and encourage conversations around racial injustice and discrimination. In 2022, Harewood will develop its monitoring of the diversity of its audiences and staff, and will set out new KPIs to ensure we best welcome audiences that better represent the local population, making more people feel welcomed and represented, as well as ensuring that Harewood’s team of staff, volunteers and Trustees reflect this too.
Page 10
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Programming will also support a renewed Membership strategy, laying out plans to best engage and retain current Members, whilst attracting new Members to Harewood too. Membership continues to form a critical backbone of Harewood’s charity income – the more secure Harewood’s Membership is, the greater the security and sustainability the organisation has. Loyalty from Members’ ensures we not only conserve the collections and Grade 1 listed landscape and gardens, but use these to maximise our positive impact on our communities and education programmes which run continuously throughout the year. We greatly look forward to welcoming back more school visits again and our community partners, alongside the development of our project with Pauline Meyers, Leeds Playhouse and Fuel.
Outdoor events and filming projects are set to make a welcome return to Harewood, providing muchneeded income to the Trust through its Trading company. The Great British Food Festival will extend to cover the entire Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, VW Festival will return in August (for the first time since 2019) and filming projects across the estate are currently entering contract negotiation. In addition, outdoor concerts, including Michael Bublé and Bryan Adams, will return to Harewood having been postponed from 2020. Harewood’s Private Apartments will be opened to the public for the first time, initially for pre-booked tours only, and premium experiences and high-level food and drink opportunities will continue to be developed.
Finally, plans for Harewood’s long-term future and site-wide developments, such as a new visitor centre and car park, restoring the Walled Garden, introducing new play and learning offers and other projects, will gain greater momentum as the Trust works with Masterplan Architects Haworth Tompkins to confirm the first phase and associated fundraising. Whilst Harewood House Trust is enjoying a successful period, it is a success that is not sustainable without significant investment in the site’s infrastructure, which will enable it to grow its audiences, and to sustain the income required to serve its charitable purpose of preserving Harewood House for public benefit. The challenge will be to deliver all of this, against a UK-wide backdrop of rising costs, inflation and impact of living costs on disposable spend for our visitors. Harewood must remain relevant, offering great value for money, whilst using the Collections and Grounds to enrich everyone’s lives.

AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Harewood House Trust Limited (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary, Harewood House Trading Limited (the ‘group’), for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities incorporating the income and expenditure account, the consolidated balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the group and the parent charitable company as at 31 December 2021 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006,
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise
Page 13
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report which includes the Directors’ Report and the Strategic Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees’ Annual Report which includes the Directors’ Report and the Strategic Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report and Strategic Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 12, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.
Page 14
HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAREWOOD HOUSE TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group and parent financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:
We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the group and parent charitable company operate.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company include The Companies Act 2006 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Audit response to risks identified:
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the parent charitable company’s records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charitable company’s policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance.
During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Income represents income receivable in the period comprising admissions, donations, special events, retail sales and catering income along with other income arising from the charity's principal activities.
Income from commercial trading is recognised on an accruals basis.
Investment income and income tax recovered on gift aid donations is recognised on a receivable basis.
Voluntary income including donations and grants are recognised where there is entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Grant income is deferred when the donor specifies that the grant can only be used in a future accounting period or has imposed conditions to be met before unconditional entitlement.

The value of services provided by volunteers has not been incorporated in the financial statements.
(e) Tangible fixed assets and heritage assets
Expenditure on assets less than £500 is not capitalised.
Heritage assets are recognised in the Financial Statements where reliable cost or valuation information is available.

2 Accounting policies continued
(g) Investments
Realised and unrealised surpluses and deficits on any investments are recognised in the statement of financial activities. Any income from investments is accounted for on a receivable basis. Where held, investments are stated at market value.
Cash and cash equivalents held on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year which are held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments are classified as current asset investments. Such investments are measured at the value of the deposit at the balance sheet date.
(h) Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution scheme under auto-enrolment, the assets of which are held separately to those of the charity. Contributions are charged in the income and expenditure account in the year in which they are paid.
(i) Expenditure and allocation of support costs
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered and classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Costs of generating voluntary funds are the costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and the costs of the commercial trading operation.
Charitable activity costs include expenditure on repairs and maintenance of Harewood House, grounds and gardens, conservation of the bird collection, curatorial and conservation costs relating to works of art, and costs associated with exhibitions and educational programmes intended to advance public knowledge and enhance scholarly use of the collections. Governance costs are included in charitable activity costs, as are those associated with the statutory and constitutional requirements of the charity.
Support costs comprise the costs of management, the finance office, depreciation, site management and finance costs which cannot be directly attributed to an activity of the charity but nevertheless support those activities. Support costs are allocated to the activity costs on a basis which is consistent with the direct costs charged to those activities.
(j) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

NOTES
17 (a) Heritage Assets
The charity holds two categories of heritage assets in support of its charitable objectives, to preserve Harewood House, its ancillary buildings, surroundings and collections for the public benefit.
Heritage building refurbishment
Costs of £2,633,511 are included in the balance sheet, largely relating to the refurbishment of the "Courtyard" stables block in 2005 and 2006. These are recorded at the cost incurred by the charity and are depreciated over periods of 20 and 50 years. The Courtyard is open to visitors to Harewood House, as a café and retail outlet, with an education facility and with function rooms which are available to hire.
All buildings managed by the charity are subject to regular inspection and assessment of maintenance requirements.
The charity was assigned a 99 year lease of Harewood House and the surrounding land from December 1996 which was extended until 2115 in November 2016, but the value of this lease has not been capitalised because of the difficulty in providing a reliable valuation.
Works of art
These consist of certain works of art, furniture and mirrors, most of which were donated to the charity by the 7th Earl of Harewood. The charity also made some purchases. These items are of national significance due to their association with Harewood House.
There have been no Trust purchases or disposals in the last five years.
The Charity holds heritage works of art valued by Christies in 2016 at £11,501,050. The items are deemed to have indeterminate lives and a high residual value so the Trustees do not consider it appropriate to charge depreciation.
The Charity's works of art are displayed within the collections in Harewood House, which are open to the public, and are cared for by the Charity's curatorial team.

All investments are carried at their fair value. Investment in equities and fixed interest securities are all traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Holdings in common investment funds, unit trusts and open-ended investment companies are on a net asset value basis. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The significance of financial instruments to the ongoing financial sustainability of the Charity is considered in the financial review and investment policy and performance sections of the Trustees’ Annual Report.

The permanent endowment fund of £2,500,000 was donated by the Trustees of the 7th Earl of Harewood Will Trust in the year ended 31 December 2015 and must be invested with the aim of generating the greatest possible income return, without unduly putting the capital at risk. Any income generated from the permanent endowment fund may be used for the general purposes of Harewood House Trust Limited, including to cover general running costs, and as such has been shown as unrestricted income. Capital must be invested with the aim of maximising income whilst maintaining the value of the capital.
The Restricted fund primarily relates to the 'Will Trust Projects Fund' to fund special projects including capital works, maintenance projects, exhibitions, education programmes and other similar projects. A donation of £1,500,000 was received in 2019. As there are no formal restrictions over the use of the assets and projects funded by this donation the £241,446 spent on eligible items in 2021 has been transferred from restricted to unrestricted reserves. A further £110,419 of the Cultural Recovery Fund Grant and £296,126 from Historic England was also invested in Capital Assets and transferred to unrestricted reserves.
