Structure, governance, and management

Samlesbury Hall Trust is an unincorporated charity, governed by the Declaration of Trust dated 25 March 1926. The Trust was registered with the Charity Commission (registered number 526052) on 19 April 1928. Management of Samlesbury Hall Trust us vested in the trustees of the charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees as provided in the Trust Deed. Trustees may retire on giving two calendar months’ notice in writing, provided that there are more than five trustees.

Induction and training of new trustees

Existing trustees introduce new trustees to Trust policies and practices at the regular monthly trustee meetings.

Organisational structure

The number of trustees shall not exceed ten and shall not be less than three and any decision of the majority of trustees present shall be binding. The trustees meet on a monthly basis, and the administrator, who is normally in attendance at the meetings, manages the day to day running of the Hall and answers to the trustees in respect of major decisions.

Trading subsidiary and consolidation

The directors and shareholders of Samlesbury Hall Limited are trustees of Samlesbury Hall Trust, a registered charity. They have waived their rights to any dividends or distribution of profits from Samlesbury Hall Limited. The aim of Samlesbury Hall Limited is to operate in the grounds of Samlesbury Hall to generate income for the maintenance and preservation of the buildings and grounds of Samlesbury Hall, a grade one listed building. The results of Samlesbury Hall Limited have been consolidated into the charity accounts.

Related parties

All related party transactions entered into in the year are disclosed in the notes to the accounts. There are no significant relationships with any other charities or organisations, save in respect to its own subsidiary.

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Aims, objectives and activities

The aims of the trust for 2020 were to carry out the busiest year for events that we had in a long time. The trust received over 90 bookings for the year.

The objective was to look to 2025 in the hope that the trust may bring in enough revenue to kickstart the roof fund.

Achievements and performance

Covid halted the above aims and objectives. Having spent the time in lockdown, for the rest of 2020 business was limited due to lockdowns and minimal opening, visitor numbers, group numbers and events.

Public benefit

The Charities Act 2011 requires charities to report on the public benefit of their activities. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and believe that an appreciation of the Charity’s public benefit can be obtained from the following review of its activities:

The Hall is open to the public on Sunday – Friday 10am – 4pm every week during which it offers a restaurantcoffee lounge, wafflery and breakfasts, animal enclosures, a high-quality gift shop and beautifully tended grounds. In addition, the Hall has public events such as half term activities, free guided tours, ghost walks, music events and Halloween nights.

Financial review

The group made a deficit during the year amounting to £207,012 (2019: £101,918).

The Trust, excluding its subsidiary undertaking, made a deficit on unrestricted funds during the year of £83,854 (2019: £91,957) after accounting for unrealised losses on investments of £26,829 (2019: a gain of £6,631), after transfers of £nil (2019: £nil) and after receiving a donation of £nil (2019: £51,458) from Samlesbury Hall Limited.

Samlesbury Hall Limited, which occupies and trades from the Hall, and which donates all taxable profits to the charity, made a loss during the year of £111,657 (2019: profit of £33,863), following which donations were made under gift aid of £nil (2019: £51,458) to the Trust. Samlesbury Hall Limited has negative capital and reserves at the year-end of £82,230 (2019: positive reserves of £29,427). These results have been incorporated into the financial statements. The Directors of Samlesbury Hall Limited, who are all current or previous Trustees of the Charity, have taken the necessary steps to restore the profitability of the Limited Company.

Reserves policy

Samlesbury Hall Trust has in place a reserves policy, which currently serves the following purposes:

Total free unrestricted reserves held at the year-end amounted to a deficit of £219,326. The trustees define free reserves as total reserves less reserves represented by capital assets owned. This is below the target level of reserves set by the trustees. The trustees aim to operate the business to increase the level of free reserves to achieve their target.

In addition, the charity held £261,918 of restricted reserves at the year-end.

Further details concerning reserves are given in notes 22 and 23 to the financial statements.

Investment policy

Plans for future periods

There is a plan for 2025 repair to the Hall’s roof and to install new historical interpretation.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Risk management

The Trustees consider and assess on an on-going basis the major risks to which the Charity may be exposed. All risks identified are set out and monitored using the corporate risk register. Systems are in place to mitigate those risks. Where they are financial it is believed that the reserves policy and financial controls minimise the potential risks. In non-financial matters there are reviews, appraisals and regulatory procedures in place.

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).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 Charity, and of the income and expenditure of the Charity, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing the accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Samlesbury Hall Trust (the ‘parent Charity’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the consolidated and charity statement of financial activities, the consolidated and charity balance sheets, the consolidated and charity cash flow statements, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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).

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Charity 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’s or parent charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the trustee’s annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.

-7-

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

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 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, set out on page 5, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 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’s and parent Charity’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 Charity 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 auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

-8-

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

Samlesbury Hall Trust is a charity registered in the United Kingdom. The address of the charity, the nature of its operations and its principal activities are all detailed in the Trustees’ report of these financial statements.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention as modified to include investments at market value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

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.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated accounts of the group incorporate the accounts of Samlesbury Hall Trust (“the Charity”) and its wholly owned subsidiary undertaking, Samlesbury Hall Limited. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line-by-line basis.

Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

After the balance sheet date, there has been a relaxation of measures taken within society to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, although the Hall had to close for the first few months of 2021, they are now fully open to the public and operating. The Trustees have provided further details of this impact in the Trustees’ Report and have assessed the budgeted income and expenditure alongside the reserves of the Charity.

The Trustees believe there is sufficient working capital for at least 12 months from approval and that there is no material uncertainty at this time, particularly as Culture for Heritage have committed to paying all the Trusts expenses until June 2021. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt this basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Deferred income includes amounts received in advance by the subsidiary undertaking in respect of events taking place in subsequent periods.

Donations on a cash basis. Legacies are regarded as receivable once there is sufficient evidence regarding the certainty of the receipt and there is a sufficiently reliable measurement of the amount in accordance with the recognition criteria of the SORP. Grants for use in specific projects are included in the SOFA on a receivable basis, including grants for fixed assets.

Income from commercial trading activities is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT.

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Income (continued)

Investment income is included in the SOFA in the period in which it is receivable.

No credit is taken for gifts in kind until they are realised or utilised in the Trusts business.

Grant income

Grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met, and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis in the expense categories required by the SORP. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Costs of charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the charity where the primary aim is the delivery of activities and services within the objects of the charity. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs relating to activities where the primary aim is to generate funds.

Support costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource and are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g., staff time or estimated usage as set out in note 8.

Fixed assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Equipment - 10% and 20% straight line and 25% reducing balance
Computer equipment - 33% straight line
Hamlets - 5% straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% straight line

Site improvements are not depreciated.

Heritage assets

Heritage assets are capitalised and included on the balance sheet at cost. Heritage assets are recognised when they have historical, artistic, scientific, technological, or environmental qualities and are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. Heritage assets are believed to have a residual value exceeding cost and are not depreciated. They are reviewed annually for impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Investments

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Investments are subsequently stated at fair value if the shares are publicly traded, or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. The SOFA included the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

Stocks

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimates selling price less costs to complete and sell.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash balances represent cash in hand and deposits held at banks and building societies.

Debtors and creditors within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable and payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds

General funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the Trustees to cover future potential or actual monetary commitments. The fund balances are reviewed annually by the trustees.

Restricted funds

Restricted funds arise where there is a donor-imposed restriction on the use of the funds, or the funds have arisen in response to an appeal for a specified purpose.

Operating lease agreements

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pensions

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees of the group. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group. The annual contributions payable are charged to the statement of financial activities when they fall due.

Redundancy costs

Redundancy costs are expensed when the liability for payment of such costs is incurred.

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Taxation

HM Revenue & Customs considers Samlesbury Hall Trust to be a charity and therefore they are entitled to exemption from tax afforded by Sections 478-489 of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010 to the extent that income is applied exclusively for charitable purposes.

Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity’s balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Trade debtors and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as 'loans and receivables'. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

De-recognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key assumptions, judgements, and estimates

There have been no key assumptions concerning future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives of the assets. These are assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect changes in the condition of the assets and future economic utilisation. Current depreciation rates of the classes of tangible fixed assets are detailed in the accounting policies and the current carrying amount of each class of tangible fixed assets is detailed in note 14.

The Trustees have not identified any further key judgements in these financial statements.

The Trustees recognise Samlesbury Hall as a heritage asset as it is principally held and maintained for its contribution to enhancing local culture and historical knowledge. Further details of the Hall, the preservation of the sure and the access by the public to the Hall are given in the Trustees report.

No external valuations of the property or contents have been conducted during the year. The Trustees believe that the underlying net realisable value of the heritage assets are in excess of their book value. The property and contents have been insured for in excess of £12,000,000.

There have been no disposals of heritage assets over the previous 5 years and no impairment has been recognised.

Additions in the previous 5 years are as follows:

2019: £58,812 2018: £17,462 2017: £nil 2016: £nil 2015: £89,160
