Achievements and performance
 

a. Main achievement of the company
 

This was the Trust’s 29th year since its founding in the 1990s, and it has certainly been a busy one. The employment of a Development Officer in December 2022 meant that there was a review of the Trust throughout 2023 which led to improved governance structures and consideration of how to take the Trust forward. This included looking at operational modes and developing a rebranding of the Trust. The review identified that the Trust did a lot of work for Moretonhampstead but local people may not be wholly aware of the impact that the Trust was achieving.
Since the end of Covid there has been an expansion in the range of our activities, so providing a big boost to our local economy and community. Our finances have improved during the year compared with the 2022 position  and we continue to attract new funding. At the end of 2023 we resolved the long outstanding issue over the debt to the National Health Service Property Services which will enable the Trust to move forward. We support local employment through providing a significant number of high-quality jobs.
The Green Hill Centre for Arts, Heritage and Youth is back to capacity and hosts several successful local businesses as well as the Local History Archive, Art Gallery and Studios, Parish Council office, a large training room for hire, and the Yard Youth Club – which is once again running three evenings a week with a great varied programme for young people.
There was a change during the year in the team responsible for Green Hill Arts and this has not affected the delivery of yet another successful programme of activities and exhibitions with excellent audiences to all our exhibitions and excellent sales over 2023. 
• Flowers with Bea
• Fullness of Time
• Water Bourne
• Life Still
• And our Winter Art and Craft Show
Our workshops and talks are embedded into each exhibition, and always well attended. In addition there have been a variety of classes to further develop the art provision in area.
 
Wellmoor, our health and wellbeing arm, has developed much new work over the year which has already had an impact in the community. We have prioritised activities which keep people well and out of hospital.
The Cost-of-Living Crisis has impacted on the Community and we have continued with our  Community Support Fund to provide small grants to anyone living in or around Moretonhampstead to meet essential and urgent outgoings.
The  ‘Friendly Fridays’ programme continues to be  very successful,  offering a warm space in the Community Club where local people can gather for lunch and a chat every week. The “Devon Day Trippers” scheme provided outings and bus trips for over 55s who find getting out and about difficult.
We have been particularly keen to develop sustainable activities for anyone who wants to improve their mental health. So an active group of volunteers is continuing to manage the Community Allotment through regular working days. 
We continued to explore the development of a community shed and identified the old BT site as a potential location. Initial discussions with BT were positive and it seemed likely that this was to be the site to develop, however BT decided to withdraw. A new site is being sought.
Wellmoor continued to provide a program of Strength and Balance classes in Moretonhampstead, Okehampton and Crediton, run by qualified Postural Stability Instructors which aims to reduce falls and improve confidence in movement.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Wellmoor continued to collaborate with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Clare Parker and Villages in Action to devise a product which will bring online music and dance to care homes across Devon, with the aim of increasing activity levels of care home residents. During 2023 a viable product was close to being finalised with the hope of launching nationwide during 2024.
 
Financial review
 

a. Going concern
 

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, and show an improvement on the previous year. 
As noted  above the disputed debt with the NHS arising from the lease of Moretonhampstead Hospital has been resolved and ensures the long term viability of the Trust. A provision for the agreed figure for settling this debt has been made.
 

b. Reserves policy
 

The finances of the Trust have remained relatively stable and the Trust continues to maintain reserves to cover staff and running costs in the event that the Trust has to close down. If the reserves drop below the agreed level then the Finance committee will agree a plan to remedy the position. Any major decisions such as staff redundancies will be taken to the full Board of Trustees.
A building fund is also maintained to enable routine maintenance and repair on the building can be performed. This fund is topped up from our rental income.  
 

c. Deficit
 
The charity achieved a net deficit for the year ended 31 December 2023 of £20,277 (2022: surplus of £6,613).

The balance held on unrestricted funds at 31 December 2023 was £51,952 (2022: £50,684).

The balance held in restricted funds at the year-end was £77,997 (2022: £99,542).


d. Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Our risk analysis has identified the greatest risks to our organisation as being:
1. Loss of income from tenants and building users – we seek to avoid this by choosing our tenants with care  and keeping a waiting list in case they move on.
2. Damage to our building, as we have a repairing lease from the County Council – we audit the state of the   building every year and maintain a building fund to deal with repairs.
3. High turnover of staff or trustees as we rely on high levels of commitment to the community – we have    not had to face this because we are seen by most as inclusive, friendly and caring, so a good     organisation to work for and continue to be aware of the need for succession planning.
We maintain a Risk Register, with mitigating actions, which the Trustees review annually.

Structure, governance and management
 

a. Constitution
 

Moretonhampstead Development Trust is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.
 

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
 

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
 

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
 

We are answerable once a year to our members, who can vote at our AGM: they are the representatives of every community organisation and Parish Councillors. And throughout the year, we try to be responsive to community needs and views, and involve local people as members, volunteers and trustees.
We also publish details of our work, our organisation, and the meetings of Trustees on our website, and provide frequent updates in the News in Moreton on social media.
Trustees make the important decisions, have oversight of our operations, and are responsible for finances. We would like our Board of Trustees to be more representative of the community we serve, and are always seeking new Trustees.
We have established a Steering Group for Wellmoor, which has a diverse membership and is now working well: we intend this to widen its remit to cover all our activities. We are also planning a wider community consultation later in the year, on what else we should be doing.
The Board of Trustees meets quarterly, though there will be activities in between as well. It delegates responsibility for Finance and Staffing matters to the Finance and Staffing Committee, which meets quarterly to review income and expenditure for the previous period and proposals for new items and projects; and prepares a report to the quarterly Board meeting. There is a Spend Authority Policy, with Trustees being required to authorise expenditure above certain levels.
This Committee has devised a Policy for Staff Pay, which it reviews annually along with specific pay levels. Specific Trustees on the Committee have line management responsibility for specific members of staff, and there is a system of staff review and appraisal to support this.
 

d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
 

Trustees are elected at an AGM, though occasionally we may co-opt a new trustee in mid-year pending their election. Our policy on the induction of trustees is: (1) to ensure that anyone who volunteers for the role has a good understanding of what the Trust does and what their responsibility will be; (2) once elected, they are offered time with those working on our different projects, as well as information on our policies and induction training; (3) they are encouraged to participate in trustee training opportunities offered by Locality and NCVO, usually on-line.
We ask all Trustees to take on an area of interest where they can lead or support our staff in the community, as appropriate.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.


The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Moretonhampstead Development Trust ('the Company')

 
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023.


Responsibilities and basis of report


As the Trustees of the Company (and 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 the Company's accounts 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


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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1.


General information

Moretonhampstead Development Trust is a standard registered charity registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is Green Hill, Fore Street, Moretonhampstead, Devon, TQ13 8LL. 


2.Accounting policies

  
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.



  
2.2

Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trust has made provision for the agreed balance for the historic hospital debt and the remaining long term debt relates to the purchase of the lease for the operating premises at Green Hill and is repayable monthly at a fixed rate of interest over the next 10 year. This monthly repayment can be satisfied out of current income. Consequently there are no concerns over the going concern viability of the Trust.

  
2.3

Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.4

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

  
2.5

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

 
2.6

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Long-term leasehold property
-
over the remaining life of the lease
Office equipment
-
5 years

  
2.7

Debtors

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.8

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.


2.9

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

  
2.10

Financial instruments

The Company 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  
2.11

Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.

  
2.12

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Statement of funds (continued)

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows: 
Designated funds: 
The fixed asset depreciation fund was set up to help absorb future depreciation on fixed assets. 
The property maintenance fund was set up with the money received from the Devon Youth Service for property delapidations when they ended their lease of the youth centre early. 
The contingency fund was set up to help absorb any future costs associated with unpredicted events.
Restricted funds: 
Core
Core funding relates to the income generated by the letting of offices and studios, complemented by the hire out of the meeting room.
Arts
The Arts funding is from personal donations. Some small revenue is generated by the art classes that take place during the year.
Wellmoor
Projects are funded from a number of sources including Local Authority grants, NHS schemes and National Lottery awards. Wellmoor is a project to help relieve health and social welfare issues not addressed by statutory or other voluntary organisations.
