REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Board of Trustees Induction and Training
New Trustees will undergo an orientation meeting to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction they meet key employees and other Trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Internal controls
The charity has set systems of internal control, which are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:
-
A business plan and an annual budget approved by the Trustees.
-
Regular consideration by the Trustees of financial results, variance from budgets, non-financial performance indicators and benchmarking reviews.
-
Delegation of authority and segregation of duties.
-
Identification and management of risks.
-
Procedures for reporting failings immediately to appropriate levels of management and the Trustees together with details of corrective action being undertaken.
Risk management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
a review of the risks the charity may face.
-
the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan; and
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified a limited number of risks, but has resulted in better procedures and contingency plans and has given the impetus for better planning.
Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff and visitors to the premises. A key element in the management of financial risk is the continued review of the level of reserves.
Related party transactions
Creswell Heritage Trust has one wholly owned subsidiary company, Creswell Trading Company Limited, which is responsible for its own management and administration and its core purpose.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the charity as set out in the Memorandum of Association are:
-
to promote, for the benefit of the public, the conservation and preservation of the geology, archaeology, ecology and landscape of Creswell Crags and the Creswell Crags Heritage Area;
-
to advance public education and promote research relating to Creswell Crags and the archaeological sites in the Area and to publish the useful results of that research;
-

THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
-
to take steps to secure the removal of inappropriate development from the Creswell Crags gorge and at other sites the Trust is seeking to enhance and preserve;
-
to promote the heritage facilities for the recreation and other leisure time occupations of those living, working or resorting in the area with the object of improving their conditions of life in the interests of social welfare.
The Trust continues to support these objectives through various activities under the following key themes:
Social and Economic Regeneration
The Trust continues to work with a wide range of partners on projects which build on the achievements of the Creswell Initiative (2000) which led to a series of investments and capital improvements to the cultural and natural historical landscape of the Creswell Heritage Area. The investment and development of key cultural assets in the wider Heritage Area aims to bring about the social and economic regeneration of the former rural coalfield of North Nottinghamshire, North East Derbyshire and South Yorkshire by creating a climate for inward investment, the development of skills and employment, and assisting with innovation.
Learning, Skills and Community Capacity Building
The Trust works with a number of partners including schools, adult learning organisations, local strategic partnerships and community organisations to develop an awareness and understanding of the rich and diverse cultural and natural historical landscape in the Creswell Heritage Area. This work assists in developing general skills and competence, encourages sympathetic behaviour towards historical remains and sites, and helps to develop a renewed pride of place, ownership and identity with the local landscape.
The Trust works in partnership with the community and receives voluntary help. Besides those who help with the conservation work in conjunction with the Trust and First Art projects, a number of volunteers assist with general duties ensuring visitors to the Crags is a safe and enjoyable experience.
Conservation and Research
The Trust works closely with the University of Sheffield, Nottingham Trent University, English Heritage, Natural England, and the Local Authorities to develop policies and strategies towards the conservation and research at Creswell Crags and at sites within the Limestone Heritage Area. These policies are enshrined within the Creswell Crags Conservation Plan and the Creswell Limestone Strategy.
Cultural Tourism
The Trust continues to promote and develop Creswell Crags as a key cultural heritage attraction in partnership with the Local Authorities and other local and regional tourism providers, helping to develop the visitor economy through the Trust’s activities programme.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Measured against the targets the Trust set itself at the beginning of the year, the following progress has been made:
- 5 -
THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Conservation and Research
World Heritage Site (WHS) inscription
The long-term vision of Creswell Heritage Trust is that it intends to achieve World Heritage Status for Creswell Crags and in so doing make a major contribution to the environmental, economic and social future of the former rural coalfield of North East Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.
During this period Creswell Heritage Trust has worked closely with its partners Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire County Councils as well as Sheffield University to further prepare the way to begin the documentation to support the bid. A comparative study was undertaken in 2019 and funding has since been secured to undertake a symposium with stakeholders to advance the project.
Research and curation
The Roger Jacobi library and the reserve collections store would usually host a number of active researchers, whose work contributes to the advancement of the cumulative knowledge of the site and collections. However, in 2020 all such access was denied. However, 2020 also marked a greater investment in collections management when our Curator was given a full time contract.
Site Monitoring
Observance of strict blasting protocol and extensive monitoring of the caves and cliff faces continues to be carried out by Tarmac in order to mitigate any impact of quarrying from the southern extension.
Improvements have been made to the drainage in the meadow to mitigate the impact of potential flooding.
Operations, Visitor Services and Interpretation
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic followed a period of vulnerability for CHT. A disappointing end to 2019 in respect of revenue in the 3[rd] quarter was followed by the annual closed period, during which trading was limited to weekends. In response to the pandemic CHT utilised government support programmes and began a successful campaign of fundraising and profile raising. The site reopened during the late spring and summer following an investment in social distancing signage and procedural development and benefitted from above average visitor figures (based on sector projections). Trading was inhibited by the Tier system but the launch of family bubble tours enabled services to continue. CHT was successful in securing significant funding from a variety of sources including major investments from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Culture Recovery Fund. This has resulted in investments in income focussed site improvements, the creation of a contingency fund and the recruitment of consultants charged with improving our profile, skills, operation and strategic planning.

THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Visitor Offer
The visitor offer was restricted during this period due to the pandemic:
-
Rigid controls were put in place to ensure social distancing and staff safety. This restricted access to the shop and café and included a track and trace system.
-
Cave tours were offered as part of a premium priced, pre-booked family bubble offer which offered increased safety measures
-
Easter events were cancelled due to the pandemic
-
Tier 4 measures restricted Christmas events but a children’s trail was offered and Santa was driven through the site on a horse drawn carriage, with no physical contact
-
A successful online festival was held in November celebrating British Folklore which saw audiences joining us from around the world.
Events and Cave Tours
Cave tours during the pandemic were restricted due to safety concerns, however it was possible to offer a premium pre-booked product aimed at family groups which included additional safety precautions such as advanced car park payment and refreshments.
Most events were cancelled in 2020 with the focus on visitor safety being the primary focus.
Lifelong Learning, Skills and Capacity Building
Education
A dramatic reduction in school visits resulted in a number of staff who would normally facilitate this service being furloughed for periods of time. In 2020 we welcomed 8168 school visitors to the site (January to December), a decrease from 11603 the previous year.
Creative People and Places (First Art)
With a degree of uncertainty about the future of CHT in early 2020, ACE proposed that we no longer be the lead partner for the CPP programme.
Marketing and Communications
During this period Marketing and Communications has underpinned all our efforts to fundraise and strengthen our relationship with our audiences. A successful fundraising campaign during the first half of 2020 relied heavily on social media and resulted in public donations totalling £44,452. This culminated in a successful online charity auction. The lockdown period has provided an opportunity to extend our social media reach and we have seen considerable growth in engagement across all platforms.

Investment powers and policy

Reserves Policy
Creswell Heritage Trust agrees that a reasonable level of unrestricted reserves is required for the following reasons:
-
To absorb short term set backs such as loss or delays in funding
-
To finance working capital needs, such as delays in receipts and to fund time delays between developing projects, obtaining approval and funds being received
-
To cover the working capital required to fund the usual retrospective nature of the programme funding which can result in considerable timing differences between expenditure and receipt of funds
-
To cover the cost of investing in staff training and the development of new improved services
-
To cover the cost of developing new services, such as communications, research, and quality and business information systems
-
To set aside funds for appropriate capital assets such as IT equipment and securing and developing suitable premises
-
To provide funding to cover any unforeseen down time in activity and/or planned down sizing of activity.

THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

-
All projects are designed to ensure public and / or community benefit and the benefits towards the public and the local community take precedence over any individual’s interest.
-

THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST (CONT/D)
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 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 other information comprises the information included in the directors’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The directors 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. 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 this fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PESCRIBED 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’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and sufficient accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company;
-
the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9, the trustees (who are also the directors of the 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 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 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 auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST (CONT/D)
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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
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:
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
As detailed above we carried out our audit in line with the appropriate guidance. In regards to our procedures during the initial planning, onsite work and final review stages we assessed our audit plan against the changing environments and updated wherever appropriate.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we have considered and carried out a background information assessment on the company and looked at all of the appropriate laws and regulations that the company must abide with. These included Coronavirus regulations and GDPR.
The company has a risk register for monitoring its risks and mitigations in place. The company also monitors all of its internal policies and procedures and carries out annual updates for those policies, or such as Covid19, regular reviews when Government guidance has changed. This is then communicated to staff on all levels to ensure updates in policies and procedures are known throughout the workforce.
The significant laws and regulations in regards to the business are Companies Act, Employment Law, Pensions legislation, Health & Safety, Covid19 Regulations and GDPR.
We reviewed the company’s risk assessments for its business in the significant laws and regulations, carried out reviews on board minutes including discussions with company officials and review of any legal cases and costs.

Audit response to risks identified

-
obtaining an understanding of the relevant controls relating to the payments on account;

Our audit team had regular updates and meetings within the team including all members of the team, including the RI to ensure that our audit work was being carried out appropriately and to ensure that our assessments have constantly been updated during our audit, as part of these meetings all team members remaining alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Creswell Heritage Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Asset and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
(b) Group financial statements
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary Creswell Trading Company Limited on a line-by-line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the trust has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
(c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of an educational visit or provision of other specified service it is deferred until the criteria for income recognition has been met.
(d) Donated services, facilities and assets
Donated professional services, donated facilities and assets are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of the economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Trust is not recognised and refer to trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

(h) Allocation of support costs

These costs have been allocated between costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in the notes.

(j) Heritage assets
Heritage assets are not recognised on the balance sheet as information on the cost or valuation of heritage assets is not available, or the cost of providing such information significantly outweighs any benefit to the users of the accounts.
Acquisitions only arise when donated to the charity or if it is believed that they will further the charity’s objectives. Once acquired they will be preserved by the charity in order to keep their historical qualities to such a high level as to contribute to knowledge and culture. A register of all assets held by the charity is available and the assets themselves are accessible to the public with prior agreement. Heritage assets are to be held for the foreseeable future.

-
(o) Creditors and provisions
-
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(p) Financial instruments
- The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
(q) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that the new income streams and the project overhead recovery will secure the immediate future of the trust for the next 12 to 36 months and on that basis the charity is a going concern.

Stated reserves policy
The projects fund represents funding specifically for the ongoing projects of the charity. Unrestricted funds are needed:
-
a to provide funds which can be designated to specific projects to enable these projects to be undertaken at short notice and
-
b to cover management administration fund-raising and support costs without which the charity could not function.
Creswell Heritage Trust agrees that a reasonable level of unrestricted reserves is required for the following reasons:
-
a to absorb short term set backs such as loss or delays in funding
-
b to finance working capital needs, such as delays in receipts and to fund time delays between developing projects, obtaining approval and funds being received
-
c to cover the working capital required to fund the usual retrospective nature of the programme funding which can result in considerable timing differences between expenditure and receipts of funds
-
d to cover the cost of investing in staff training and the development of new improved services
-
e to cover the cost of developing new services, such as communications, research, and quality and business information systems
-
f to set aside funds for appropriate capital assets such as IT equipment and securing and developing suitable premises
-
g to provide funding to cover any unforeseen down time in activity and/or planned down sizing of activity.
Unrestricted reserves are currently below that range by approximately £190,000. The trustees will continue to review ways in which to correct the situation.
The projects fund represents funding specifically for the ongoing projects of the charity.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Creswell Trading Company Limited
During the year Creswell Heritage Trust charged Creswell Trading Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, fees for the use of premises and other administration costs. Fees amounted to £110,008 (2019: £133,675). During the year the trust also charged Creswell Trading Company Limited £29,769 (2019: £126,234) for tours that were sold in the shop, as these relate to income of the trust. During the year the company also purchased goods and services of £3,509 (2019: £1,872) from Creswell Trading Company on ordinary commercial terms.
During the year Creswell Trading Company Limited gift aided profits to the Trust of £11,843 (2019: £1,473).
In respect of these transactions £23,184 (2019: £10,907) was outstanding at the balance sheet date.
21. TRANSFER OF FUNDS
As project related expenditure, after adjusting for each project’s contribution to overheads of the group, exceeded the project income in the restricted fund, unrestricted funds were used to support project activities. A transfer of £19,263 (2019: £34,497) was therefore made from unrestricted to restricted funds during the year.
