ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.

INTRODUCTION

As a multi-purpose ‘community anchor’ charity, most of the needs to be addressed arise from the isolated rural nature of the charity’s area of operation. It is very sparsely populated with only 25,000 inhabitants: half in Whitby town and half scattered across several hundred square miles of the northern half of the North York Moors National Park, around the Esk valley. There are no

remaining local bus services in much of the National Park area served, compounding the usual rural difficulties of access to education, work and services. Over a third of all residents are age 60 or above and a third of households have a single occupant. A high proportion of the community is at significant risk of social exclusion.

The Whitby travel-to-work area is characterised by high levels of self-employment; one-person businesses; working from or at home; and a few small employers. The existing enterprise profile is unlikely to generate significant job growth. In comparison with national and regional averages, the area served has a high proportion of the working age population with no or few educational qualifications; and a high proportion of low income households. The very strong demand for second / holiday homes in the area, together with very limited new housing development within the National Park, results in severe problems of housing affordability and availability.

HISTORY OF THE CHARITY

Mission:Helping people to help themselves and each other

Originally known as Whitby Network, the charity has been serving the local community since 1984, starting with an Advice Centre and evolving to meet a wide range of community needs. In 1998 it purchased the redundant Coliseum cinema building, which is centrally situated next to the bus and train stations in Whitby. The Coliseum was converted to a community centre, which also incorporates self-contained residential accommodation for adults with learning difficulties. The Coliseum Centre offers a variety of high quality office space, meeting, lecture and assembly rooms, together with the community café, theatre, and internet cafe.

The charity became the Whitby Area Development Trust in 2011, when Whitby Network merged with the Whitby Area Community Development Trust, a company limited by guarantee formed in 2007. The Community Development Trust had a greater focus on environmental and sustainability issues across the Whitby Area and a wider community involvement from the rural areas. Accordingly, the merged charity secured the approval of the Charity Commission, to adopt new objects covering rural and urban regeneration.

“The promotion for the benefit of the public of urban or rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation (and in particular in the Whitby district and surrounding area) by all or any of the following means:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR

The financial results for 2020 are remarkably healthy, despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Public events and activities in the Coliseum Centre largely ceased from March 2020.

The financial position was eased by the final repayment in June 2020 of the £200,000 loan incurred to develop the Penthouse accommodation. The charity also continued to receive rental income from our residential tenants in the Penthouse and Crows Nest supported-living accommodation.

Thus, the charity was in the fortunate position of being able to retain all staff on full salary throughout the year, by ‘topping- up’ the Government’s furlough scheme during periods of lockdown.

Several trends had been noted, before the Covid pandemic:

Trustees will be reviewing the future development strategy in the light of these trends, together with the likely societal changes resulting from the pandemic. We anticipate that the increase in working from home and reductions in city centre office provision will result in greater demand for session-hire office/meeting rooms, suitably equipped to facilitate remote (Zoom) meetings.

Meanwhile, the Trust will continue to contribute research papers to local government policy consultations, to ensure that particular issues affecting the Whitby area are given full consideration. The re-organisation of local government in North Yorkshire during 2022-23 is expected to bring significant change. The Trust will support campaigns to ensure that local needs are fully represented and thus recognised by the relevant statutory authorities, particularly in relation to housing, mental health services, and hospital services.

Review of the Charity’s Usual Areas of Activity

A) Coliseum Services

The Coliseum Centre may be compared to a village hall on a larger scale. Located in the town centre, adjacent to the bus and train stations, it offers a wide range of services to the local community, from basic travel information to IT courses, or just a space to meet up for coffee. Fully-serviced office space and meeting rooms are available on a session hire basis. The events programme provides opportunities for everyone in the community to enjoy a wide variety of creative activities, as audience member or participant. A grant of £1,000 from the NYCC Stronger Communities Fund helped to provide social activities for the elderly.

The theatre is used for various community events, photographic exhibitions, visiting professional dance and theatre companies, school proms and other amateur musical events. The theatre venue also hosts the monthly meetings of the local Civic Society, Film Club, and Art Society. Our staff provide a licensed café-bar for evening events, when appropriate.

B) Tenancies

Community Café

The Community Café is operated during the day by Dalewood Trust, who offer work-based activities for people with learning difficulties. They cater for users of the building and the wider local community, by offering meals and snacks at reasonable prices.

Office Accommodation

The Whitby community is often served on an out-reach basis from larger towns, by other charities or not-for-profit organisations. To facilitate such services, the Coliseum Centre leases fully-serviced office space to not-for-profit organisations whose aims support our own. Tenants may also session-hire the theatre or larger rooms for occasional use.

The Penthouse provides residential accommodation within the building for up to nine adults with learning difficulties and, in some cases, mental health problems. Creative Support, an industrial and provident society, provides the 24-hour support needed by our Penthouse tenants. As their landlord, we encourage and welcome our tenants to participate in the social, cultural and educational opportunities on offer in the Coliseum Centre and wider area. The Crows Nest provides a self-contained flat in the Coliseum building, converted from under-used attic space with the aid of a loan from Quaker Housing Trust. It comprises two bedrooms, each en-suite, plus a kitchen and open-plan living/dining area (with rather spectacular views of Whitby Abbey and harbour, hence the name Crows Nest).

Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 Reg. Charity No. 518451 Company No. 02048091

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED

The Crows Nest was developed to meet the need for some ‘training’ accommodation in Whitby: to assist dependent individuals who have the potential, but lack some of the necessary skills and confidence to move directly to independent living in the accommodation offered by RSLs. Locally, this often occurs when parents become unable, through age or infirmity, to continue to provide care in the family home for their child with learning difficulties. By now middle-aged, these individuals often have a very restricted social network and lack confidence in managing without parental support. It is anticipated that the level of support required will gradually diminish, as tenants grow in skill and confidence. At the same time they are encouraged to develop a wider social network, through new friends in the Penthouse, and by participating in activities in the Coliseum Centre and other organisations in the town.

C) Recycling Services

The Network Shop is situated in Whitby town centre and sells donated items of used furniture and household items. It differs from most charity shops in that it is not intended as a fund-raising activity, but as a charitable activity. It relieves financial hardship by assisting lowincome families to meet their household needs at low cost and safely. All upholstered items must bear Fire Safety regulation labels and all electrical goods are PAT tested before sale.

The service also helps to safeguard the environment. The area served has a high proportion of self-catering holiday accommodation, which is frequently refurbished to maintain its market appeal. Many discarded household items, still in good condition, would otherwise be sent to landfill. Unfortunately, the NYCC Landfill Tax Credit scheme has been withdrawn, leading to a loss of income to support the service.

The shop aids social inclusion and provides training towards employment opportunities. It is staffed by volunteers, some of whom have issues which prevent them from securing paid employment. By acquiring customer service skills and basic stock recording – plus a good attendance record – some shop volunteers are helped to progress to paid employment. Others derive on-going benefit from the dignity, social contact, feeling of self-worth and selfrespect gained by being a valued member of the shop’s team of volunteers.

D) Larpool Walled Garden

This project, currently under development, will create environmentally-sustainable, outdoor work opportunities for disadvantaged groups. Grant funding was received during 2018, from the North Yorkshire County Council Stronger Communities fund, to provide a composting WC. Once that essential facility was installed, volunteers had started on the clearance work and the planting of fruit trees. The Normanby Trust kindly provided a grant towards the purchase of equipment, supplies and activities.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED

The U3A gardening group were also offering volunteer support. Unfortunately, all such plans have had to be shelved for the time being. Further funding will still need to be found for the renovation of the derelict outbuildings in the Walled Garden, which will provide equipment stores and an indoor shelter/meal room for the user groups.

The project aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment for adults with disabilities or special educational needs, in which they will gain a variety of horticultural skills; have exposure to a work ethic which they may not have had a chance to experience; and learn skills that will engender confidence of working in a team. Such skills and experience may improve paid employment prospects and the ability to live more independently.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Trustees consider that the on-going Covid pandemic poses the most significant risk to the charity, given that the Coliseum Centre is a public venue and a very high proportion of our users are elderly. Most of our residential tenants are vulnerable adults requiring 24-hour attended care. Health & Safety precautions are top priority for the foreseeable future.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2020

Note 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparing the financial statements

Whitby Area Development Trust is a Charitable Company in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office of the charity is The Coliseum Centre, Victoria Place, Whitby. YO21 1EZ.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £0.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Fund Accounting

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which is expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the funder or when funds are raised for specific purposes.

1.4 Income

Grants made to secure the provision of particular goods or services are included as income for the relevant charitable activity.

1.5 Expenditure

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2020 - continued

1.6 Financial instruments

The charity 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.

1.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid at the year end.

1.8 Creditors

Creditors 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.

1.9 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at annual rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as shown below. Additional expenditure of £500 or more on an existing fixed asset is capitalised.

capitalised.
Coliseum building - Nil provided since 2006*
Other land and buildings - Straight line over 10 years
Auditorium seating - Straight line over 20 years
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - Straight line over 10 years
Motor vehicles and computer equipment - Straight line over 4 years

*The freehold property is shown at current market value in accordance with SORP (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019. The difference between the depreciated value of the Coliseum building (including the residential accommodation then existing on the upper floors) and the market value in 2006 resulted in the creation of a revaluation reserve of £290,107 in 2006.

1.10 Fund Transfer of Fixed Assets

In accordance with SORP (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019, the value of fixed assets may be transferred from restricted to unrestricted funds when the asset has been purchased in whole or part from a restricted fund donation but the asset is held for a general and not a restricted purpose.

In undertaking the transfer of the asset value of the Coliseum building from the Restricted to the Unrestricted Fund in 2006, Trustees acknowledge their continuing obligation to use the Coliseum Building as a Community Resource Centre under the terms of the ERDF and National Lottery Charities Board grants made in 1998 towards the conversion costs of the Coliseum building

1.11 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

1.12 Pension costs

The charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes including individual personal pensions. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity in the year.

Note 6: DEPARTURE FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SORP (FRS 102) JANUARY 2019

In order to present a true and fair view of the charity’s activities and income, Trustees have deemed it necessary to depart from the recommendations made in SORP (FRS 102) January 2019 in the following respects:

SORP (FRS 102) (paragraphs 4.36 and 4.45) requires that shop income from selling donated and bought-in goods should be classed as income from ‘other trading activities’ and that the operating costs of such a shop should be classed as ‘expenditure on fund-raising’.

Trustees consider that the shop activities shown under Recycling Services are a fundamental part of their charitable activities and have thus been included within the income and expenditure on charitable activities, not as other trading activities or as expenditure on fund-raising.

The shop sells only donated items of used furniture and household items, in support of three charitable objectives:

The shop assists low-income families to meet their household needs, at low cost and safely. All upholstered items must bear Fire Safety regulation labels and all electrical goods are PAT tested before sale.

The area served has a high proportion of self-catering holiday accommodation, which is frequently refurbished to maintain its market appeal. Many discarded household items, still in good condition, would otherwise be sent to landfill. This aspect of the shop operation is recognised by an entry for Landfill tax credits when available.

The shop is staffed by volunteers, some whom have issues which prevent them securing paid employment. By acquiring customer service skills and basic stock recording – plus a good attendance record – some shop volunteers are helped to progress to paid employment. Others derive on-going benefit from the dignity, social contact, feeling of selfworth and self-respect gained by being a valued member of the shop’s team of volunteers. As shown in the detailed financial statements by activity area (Notes 2 & 3), under the heading Recycling Services, the total cost of running the shop was £19,823. The total income was £18,945, of which £11,334 was Covid-related Business Support Trustees accept that the shop may achieve a surplus or deficit from year to year. However, in accordance with the whole ethos and aims of the charity, the clear intention is to provide a charitable service, not to raise funds for use elsewhere.

* Freehold property

The Coliseum building in freehold property is shown at market value of £900,000. As at 2006 the difference between the depreciated value of the building and the then market value resulted in the creation of a revaluation reserve of £290,107. The building has since not been depreciated. The above cost and accumulated depreciation brought forward have been restated to show Coliseum building at market value with no accumulated depreciation.

Related parties are persons or entities that are closely related to the reporting charity or its trustees. Related party transactions are the transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties, regardless of whether a price is charged.

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 December 2020 or for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Note 18: CHARITY ACTING AS AGENT OR CUSTODIAN

On occasion, the charity acts as an agent or custodian for other not-for-profit groups in the local community. It does this primarily by acting as an accountable body for unincorporated groups without a bank account, usually pending an application for charitable status or incorporation. Such funds are held entirely separately from the charity’s main account with Unity Trust Bank. Funds are only released from the associated account on receipt of written authorisation from two designated members of the community group.

The charity receives no payment or commission from such arrangements.
