Lichfield and Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust Limited (A cornpany limited by guarantee) Chair's statemènt For the year ended 31 De¢ember 2021 The chair presents her statement for Ihe year. The report on 2020 concluded wth looking fonvard to getting 'back to nomial.. By the end of 2021 il was almost, bul not quite so. Meetings were still either ouldoors or virtual by Zoom or Teams.. our fundraising had changed. but thankfully had not suffered as much as had been expected: membership had grv•vn al an accelerated rate. Much of the explanation for maintaining income and grovAh of membership is through wdening our soch21 media reach, so proactively and wisely achieved by our marketing team lo compensate for a second year of almost nonoxistent fundraisin9 events. This saw us so successfulty invdved wth the new Lichfield Communrty Lottery, participating in The Big Give. promoting funding appeals. receNing increased donations, Includ1ng those from around the world and from the Country as a whole. All these. and new YouTube vide05, selling raffle tickets online all helped to compensate for not hawng been able, a second year. to hold the Huddlesford Herilage Gathering or oui regular spring and autumn fundraising events. But events are back on.. for the first time. the Trust akjne organised the BrtY4vnhilLs Canal Festival in September.. whalever was in control of the weather recognised the hard work of our mafketing leam in organisin9 It and overruled the rain forecast for the Sun¢Jay and gave sunny weather on both days ensuring a high footfall and great enjoyment by the Ioc31 ccinmunity as well as floating traders and the boating ccnmunity. It also Inueased our membership and new volunteers. and gave valuable scope and publicity to offset the COVID curtai merchandising. raffle ticket selling and previousty normal fundraising actiwties. For the first few months of the year, wth COlllD raging, work parS were erther suspended or severely restricted. It was with great delight that on 3 Apnl reinstated our Duke of Edinburgh volunteer work paty and hence the following Saluréay, the day after The Duke of Edinburgh's passing. our young volunteers stood solemnly for a minute's silence before resuminq their invaluable and immensely varied work Iliroughout the rest of the year. Most of our regular volLtrnteer5 had retumed by summer. and indeed we had many rnore new volunteers, who had found out about us by using our twaths and nure IraiL8 during IIKkdown5 and tslking with existing volunteers and also through the extra publicity achieved Ihiough the widening of our social media reach. Zcom meetings were mentione(J eartier. a highlight of Ihe year was our June AGM, held by Zoom 7Mth over 70 participants, including our start member in USA who has done several fundraisers for us. Of particular note, not just as part of Ihe AGM but also of signrficance lo the history of LHCRT, was the inclusion within that Zoom session of the filming, live, of our founding President, Eri¢ Wood's receipt of a 90th birthday presentation. We knew Eric would not be abk to join us al Lock 18 $0 we had prwousty stsged a presentation of Ihe dedication of the Lock a5 "Wood Lock 18. by hawng Err and Doreen's son, Robert, Present at the unveiling of the plaque and also receiving an Imaginative painting of their narr(hwbo in the Lcck when the canal is watered. Robert ensured that the presentstion on Ihe day of the AGM was caplured for all those present on Zoom to see. My guess is that no•one has ever seen our illustrious founder vrtualty speechlessl The painting made of Eric's boat takes us to another ongoing theme and fundraiser of the year. Longstandin9 member Stuart Sampson. who walks the canal roule every day. has done a number of-paintings during 2021 of wh he thinks the canal wll look like ot vartr)us lOCatnS when rt is in water.. he has called il his 'wishful thinking" series. Not only has he done the paintings but he's also prt>Ju¢ed posters of them and placed them * their localws wth a text explanati and QR c(*Jes ¥thh take the observer to our websf(e for further detail. They have also been used as the picture for each Mth on our 2022 calendar, and the orvJinals kindly donated to the Trust for sale and as raffle prtzes. He has alsn de.wsed a qurL lo cncourage lo walk ihe routes. Page 2

Variotss organisations proMde(I funds to buy hedging and trees and lo support our nomial volunteer parties to plant them. thereby creating a biodiversty enhancing hedging and accenl trees.

Lichfield's Soroplimists and its u3a group have also supported more hedging and accent tree planting by nurturing and buying and helping to pknt many more lo enhance bitraiversty. Whilst so much aclivty has concentrated the Lthfield Canal. we continue to keep a wching brief on any Matters that might affect $toratIOn of the Hatherton Canal around Cannfxk. Development of the massive We51 Midlands Inleichange for roallrail freight straddling the Stsffs & Worcs Canal at Four Ashes is unfortunately just west of Hatherton Junction. thus exduding any improvement that have induded that part of the Hatherton Canal. Finally, the very much unseen work of Trustees and Officer5, often very stressfvl. time consuming and safjly also often, but not aw, frustrating. On the posrtive side, the work of the Trusl's lechni¢al people over several years has resutted in ex¢elknt relationships wth Persimmon He$ over the St John's Grange development and indeed its excavation of the diverted canal route and ¢reion of hvo bridges, lo be seen as one goes along the extended bypass betsveen Birmingham and London Roads. th which also was exlIent Co-operation by SCC'S highways cctractOr.

Lichfield and HathertoTr Canals Restoration Trust Limited IA company limited by guarnnteel Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 A¢¢ounting policies {continuedl 2A In¢ome All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income. it is probable that the income will be receNed and the amount of irtome receivable can be measured reliably. The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entillemenl. the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with SuffIent accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entrtlement to a legacy exists when the company has suffent eviden that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the exislence of a val#J will and the death of the benefaclcxl and the executor is satisfied that Ihe property in question wll not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. ReIpt of a legacy must be recognised en it is probable Ihat it will be recewed and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed lo the company, can be rdiably measured. Grants are included in the Consc4klated statement of financrdl activities on a receivable basis. The baLance of inccrfne re1Ved for specrfic purpose5 bul not expended during the period is shown in the rdevant funds on the Balan¢e sheet_ Where income is received in advance of enlitlernenl of I1P1. its recognition is deferred and in¢luded in creditors as deferred income. Where entillemenl occurs before income is rtteived. the income is accrued. Grfis in kind donated for distribution are included al valuation and Tecognised as income when they a distributed to the projects. Grfis donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Where the donated gcxxl is a fixed asset, it is measured al fair value, unless tt is impractical to measure this relk8bly, in which case the cost of the rtem to the dOrr should be used. The gain is re¢ognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is Induded in the appropriate fixed asset class and depre¢ialed over the useful economic life in accordance with the companls accounting pcAicies. On receipt. donated professional semces and facil"eS are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount rt *Uld have been wlling to pay lo obtain servtces or fa¢ilities of equivalent econ71¢ benefrt on the open market.. a corresponding amount is then reco3nised in expenditure in Ihe perio(l (rf receyt. IncCe tsx recoverable in lation to investment income is reLognised at the time the investment in¢ome is receivat4e. Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the exlent the goods have been promded or on completion of the service. 15 Expenditure Expenditure is reco3nised once there is a legal or constructive obligation lo transfer economic benefit lo a Ihird paty, it is probable Ihat a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amniinl of the obligation can bc meosured reliably. Expvridilure is classrfied by acliwty. The costs of each acliwty are made up of the total of direct costs arid shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable lo a single activity are allocated directly lo that actsvity. Shareé costs which contribute to more than one acliMIy and support costs whth are not attributab to a single activrty are apportioned between those actiwties on a basis consistent wth the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of lime spenl. and depreckAtion chanJes allocated C the porticffl of the asset's use. Page 17
