## **(A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) (CHARITY NO: 702017)** 

## **COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORTS ON THE GROUP ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 (FRS 102). 

## **OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR WORK** 

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association. 

The charity’s object and principal activity continues to be that of educating, promoting and developing the science, art and practice of horticulture, the advancement of environmental protection, with special reference to the conditions existing in the North of England by the promotion of shows and events. Within these events the charity supports numerous other horticultural charities, enabling them to increase public awareness of these charities. In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. 

The charity also wholly controls a trading company, Harrogate Flower Show Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. The trustees feel it is important to highlight the fact that the trading company (which runs the shows) has, since its incorporation, paid over its profits to the charity under a deed of covenant. The annexed accounts show that in the year 2021 no payment was able to be made to the charity by way of a gift (2020: £0), but charitable aims would be met from financial reserves. The Charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its objectives for the public benefit. The Charity receives and considers direct application for assistance. Detailed consideration is given to each application on the basis of information provided, additional information the trustees see as necessary to form an opinion, visits and follow up reports. 

The charity cooperates with and provides support via the platform of the Harrogate Flower Shows for a wide range of horticulturally based groups, organisations and individuals.  This includes support of over a dozen specialist plant societies, including, but not limited to chrysanthemum, dahlia, cacti, fuchsia, geranium, daffodil, gladioli and bonsai. The charity also engages with grown edibles through its work with the Northern Fruit Group, National Vegetable Society and regional allotment groups. The organisation works closely in promoting the valuable work of recognised charities, including Perennial (The Gardener’s Charity), Horticap, Wades Charity and various wider ranging groups. 

The charity also supports learning and education in horticulture, via commitment to regional colleges including Askham Bryan, Shipley College, Bishop Burton, Kirkley and Craven College. A continued relationship with the Chartered Institute of Horticulture ‘Young Horticulturalist of the Year’ and the Yorkshire in Bloom ‘Young People’s Award’ ensure that such support is highlighted and widened in the sphere of learning. 

Work of the organisation also extends to individuals and small groups, from horticultural exhibitors, nursery growers, floral societies and gardening clubs to community growing initiatives, historical organisations and volunteering groups. 

## **THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT** 

There is a Council of Management which consists of a minimum of 15, maximum of 18, elected members. All of the members of the council of management are named within the company information, as directors of the charity, and served throughout the year unless stated otherwise in the company information. There is a President of the charity who is eligible to serve for an initial period of two years. The term in office may be extended at the discretion of the Council. The Chairman and Vice Chairman are elected annually by Council. 

The day-to-day management of the charity is handled by J Robinson (the company secretary) and N Smith (the show director). 

## **COMMITTEES** 

There is an executive committee comprising the chairman of the company, the vice-chairman of the company, the company secretary, the show director, the solicitor, a representative from the Harrogate Flower Show Limited who is independent of the charity, and up to four other members of the council. Its function is to administer the company in all its aspects, to respond to instructions from the council, to bring to the council matters as necessary and to report to the council on its activities.

## **COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON THE GROUP ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **THE METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES** 

All potential trustees are vetted by existing trustees and actively participate in and gain experience of the shows under the guidance of existing trustees. Once appointed, all trustees receive a copy of the Society’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Byelaws. In addition they receive a copy of the Charities Act 2011 sections 178-184 and a copy of the Charity Commission documents - "The Essential Trustee - what you need to know", “Charities and Risk Management” and “A Guide to Conflict of Interest for Charity Trustees”. The trustees are required to sign a declaration that they either have no conflicting interests or divulge any interest, which may conflict with those of the charity. Ongoing training is provided as necessary, including attendance at relevant courses. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT** 

Company and charity law requires the members of the council of management to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for the period. In preparing those financial statements, the members of the  council of management are required to: 

- (a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- (b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- (c) Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- (d) State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements: and 

- (e) Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. 

The members of the council of management are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **DEVELOPMENTS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES** 

Whilst unprecedented in all areas of life throughout 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic continued to be especially significant across the charitable and event sector. Further periods of lockdown and limitations to large gatherings made planning events both challenging and not without risk. 

The Government COVID-19 roadmap of tiered restrictions, announced in January 2021, did, however, offer the opportunity to plan ahead, albeit with caveats. 

As the Harrogate Flower Shows continue to be the charity's main route to engagement, it was agreed by the charity that if possible, a reduced-scale spring horticultural event in an approved, covid-safe manner, this should be furthered. The resulting Spring Essentials event was held in May, a month later than the traditional spring show, consisting of an outdoor-only offer with limited attendance numbers and consistent with the Tier 3/4 restrictions of the time. The show team worked with the advice of NYCC Public Health and Harrogate Borough Council in staging the event, one of the first such examples of a COVID-safe outdoor gathering nationally. Hosting the show offered the opportunity to re-engage with the charity's core audience, welcoming over 50 independent plant nurseries and highlighting both the physical and mental benefits of horticulture in times of difficulty to an audience of almost 20,000 across a four day period. 

With the removal of tiered restrictions in July, the charity confirmed its intention to host its autumn flower show in September at the new venue of Newby Hall & Gardens, near Ripon. Whilst exhibitor numbers were reduced, due largely to uncertainty about COVID-19, the show team once again worked with the local authority in staging an event which complied with all required legislation. The show was a great success, allowing the charity to engage and promote horticulture within the context of a nationally-recognised garden environment, and welcomed over 20,000 visitors across three days. The event further developed links with organisations including Macmillan, Flowers from the Farm and Jennyruth Workshops. 

The autumn event also allowed the charity to develop and share its commitment to the culture of gardening, with commissioned exhibitions including the Art of the Chrysanthemum (with the Arts Society) and Time & Place: Gardening at Newby Hall in the 20th Century (with GARLAND - Garden & Landscape Group). The former exhibition has since moved to other locations, as an example of legacy promotion. 

In addition to this, the charity continued to utilise a variety of alternative methods and channels to share and promote its work. Gardening tips were shared throughout the year via social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, reaching virtual audiences of up to 15,000. A members enewsletter, delivered through Harrogate Flower Shows Ltd, continued to promote positive stories relating to horticulture, issued regularly and reaching audiences of 20-30,000 per issue. 

Lectures and talks were provided to gardening groups, horticultural institutions and charitable partners, both in-person and supported by remote working systems such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. These reached an estimated 1,800 people during the year. 

The charity continues to maintain and develop relationships with key horticultural partners, working alongside organisations including Perennial, the Chartered Institute of Horticulture, the British Association of Landscape Industries, the Horticultural Trades Association, the National Association of Flower Arranging Industries and the National Allotment Society. The charity has further continued its relationship with a wide range of specialist society groups for whom, like our own organisation, the forthcoming 2022 season will hopefully provide a return to more traditional and wide reaching engagement activities, enabling a brighter future for both their and our work and ambition.

## **COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORTS ON THE GROUP ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION** 

Alongside many similar organisations, our trading company Harrogate Flower Show Limited continued to face significant challenges in 2021. The continuation of COVID-19 restrictions resulted in a smaller spring event than for previous years, whilst the autumn show saw the continued impact of exhibitor reticence relating to large gatherings. The sucessful hosting of both events have, however, continued to allow the charity to engage and in both instances have contributed significantly to a reduction in the loss incurred by the charity as a result of such a difficult trading environment. Directors of the trading company remain acutely aware of the core aims and ambitions of the charity and, in addition to cost economies which continue to be implemented within the trading company, all available government aid has been utilised in order to support the business and its employees through the ongoing crisis. The Government-backed Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBILS), taken out by the charity in 2020 to the value of £250,000 in order to relieve cash flow across the pandemic period, began to incur interest from May 2021 at the end of its initial interest-free year. Repayment of this loan continues. 

The financial losses incurred by the trading company mean that no gift (2020: £nil) is payable in 2021. Part of such costs is charitable expenditure and is separately identified in the SoFA. During the year, the charitable expenditure incurred by the subsidiary on behalf of the charity totalled £170,377 (2020:£35,484). 

The Income and Expenditure Account shows a gain of £99,043 (2020: £28,359) on investments, in addition to highlighting that charitable donations of £3,049 (2020: £1,517) were made. 

## **THE CHARITY’S RESERVES POLICY** 

The reserves are required to meet the objects of the Charity. The reserves held at the end of the period were £888,652 (2020: £922,588) which all are unrestricted funds. 

The designated reserve is maintained at a level which would ensure that, should circumstances beyond the control of the charity result in the cancellation of the shows, this would not result in the demise of the Harrogate Flower Show. This was highlighted in 2000 and 2001 when the fuel crisis and the foot and mouth epidemic could have led to such an eventuality. As a result a designated reserve of £750,000 (2020: £750,000) is maintained. 

## **INVESTMENT POLICY AND TARGET RETURN** 

The charity has an investment committee comprising the chairman, vice-chairman and company secretary and up to two other members of council who meet as necessary and report regularly to the executive committee of the charity. 

The aim of the committee is to manage investments conservatively, to obtain a balanced portfolio and a return in line with current market conditions and, in the long term, some capital gain. 

To do this the committee makes use of the CCLA charity funds and has two portfolios of investments managed by two brokers, who submit regular reports and advice and meet with the investments committee. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The trustees have an on-going policy of reviewing the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been and are being established to mitigate those risks by means of increasing the weather independence of the shows, a major factor in their success. There are obviously factors beyond the control of the charity which may result in the cancellation or curtailment of shows. 

A Health & Safety Officer is consulted leading up to and during all events to ensure the charity conforms with all current legislation. 

Signed on behalf of the Council on 9 March 2022.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The North of England Horticultural Society ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY (A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 STATUTORY INFORMATION** 

The North of England Horticultural Society is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The charity is a public benefit entity. 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. 

## **2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. 

The North of England Horticultural Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated 

## **Basis of Consolidation** 

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Harrogate Flower Show Limited, on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees are of the view that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue, and the accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Income is the amount derived from the provision of goods and services, and stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and VAT. 

## _Trading income_ 

Income from commercial activities is included in the period in which the group is entitled to receipt. Income received for next year's shows is treated as deferred income. 

## _Subscriptions and donations_ 

Income from subscriptions and donations is included in incoming resources when they are receivable. 

## _Investment income_ 

Interest earned by the charity is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Dividends are brought to account in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. 

## **Resources expended** 

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources. 

## **Finance and operating leases** 

Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period they are incurred. Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Obligations under such leases are included in creditors net of finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of each payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate on the net obligation outstanding in each period. 

## **Depreciation of tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset, other than cups, medals, trophies and plaques, over its useful life: 

All classes of fixed assets are included at historical cost and assets below a value of £500 are not considered material and so not capitalised. Impairment reviews occur when there is an indication that the assets may be impaired. 

Fixtures and fittings:                   10-15% per annum on cost 

Motor Vehicles:                          20% per annum on cost Show ground improvements:      Over 9 years on a straight line basis Website Development:               25% per annum on cost 

## **Investments** 

Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year 

## **Irrecoverable VAT** 

The charity and its trading subsidiary are VAT registered and are partially exempt. VAT is reclaimed where possible and any irrecoverable VAT is taken to the Income and Expenditure account.

**THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY (A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Fund accounting** 

Funds held by the charity are either: _Unrestricted general funds_ , which are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Council of Management. 

_Designated funds_ , which are funds set aside by the Council of Management out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants related to the purchase of assets are treated as deferred income and allocated to the profit and loss account over the useful lives of the related assets while grants related to expenses are recognised in the profit and loss account when received. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **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. 

## **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. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. 

The contributions made for the accounting period are treated as an expense and were £6,453 (2020: £6,422) 

The contributions are treated as Costs of generating funds and are trading expenses of the subsidiary. They form part of the unrestricted funds of the group. 

## **Related parties** 

As the company prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, the company has taken advantage of the available exemption and has therefore not disclosed transactions or balances with its wholly owned subsidiaries. 

## **Charitable expenditure** 

During the shows, the subsidiary promotes horticulture on behalf of the parent charity through a variety of means, including exhibitions, displays and sponsorship. The group deems that part of the costs of hosting the shows is charitable expenditure, and separately identifies such expenses.

During the year, the annual small grant scheme was withheld, and nil grants issued (2020:£nil) due to the uncertain financial situation relating to COVID-19. Financial support continued to be offered to individuals, groups and organisations taking part in the creation of horticultural features at spring and autumn events, whilst sponsorship of awards relating to the promotion of horticulture in the north of England was also maintained. Support costs associated with grant making activities form part of the overall support costs but are not separately identified.
