In conjunction with the Society (see above) the Charity has managed and maintained the Ellenroad Engine Room museum and made it available for public exhibition, particularly on the first Sunday of each month when the steam boilers are fired and the three main engines are operated. In addition the Trustees have enabled the building to be used for other community activities including the presentation of productions by a local amateur drama group. In their management of the Centre and at all times the Trustees have had regard to the Charity’s objects and to the Guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. Neither the Charity nor the Society have any paid employees and rely entirely on volunteers for the operation of both charities The charity has no investments. Its day to day funding is held in a bank account. ## **Section D Achievements and performance** For the whole of this year the Charity, together with the Society, continued to manage the Ellenroad building and the engines, but for three of the open days the engines could not be fired due to a lack of volunteers. The balance of the HLF grant was spent last year and with further fuding the work on the chimney has been completed save for its capping. Much of the additional extensive refurbishment was completed by volunteers during this period. The charity looks forward to the coming year with a busy programme of events on the monthly steam up days and completion of the repairs and capping of the chimney. ## **Section E Financial review** The charity has re-established its monthly income from entrance payments on steam up days and in addition grants were obtained in the preious financial year for the re-pointing and repair of the chimney as well as other parts of the building. . After allowing for the carried forward grant expenditure there was a trading surplus Funds which are held by the Charity (additional to those covered by the HLF grant) are held in anticipation of potential, and probable substantial, expenditure which will in due course be required for the repair, improvement and maintenance of the building and the engines. There are no employees and as such all reserves are held purely for the improvement and protection of the building and its contents. The Charity does not hold any funds as a custodial trustee.
