REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
- 1 -

The Trust present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act

2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30

June 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 VISION

The Vision is to enable the successful transfer of Plas Teg to the Nation and to facilitate a

sustainable future as a 'must visit' destination for the local community and visitors to North

Wales.

 

MISSION STATEMENT

Founded as Love My Wales in 2013, the charity has had a proven record of organising and

running successful projects across Wales. The decision was made by the Trustees for the

charity to be a single project buildings preservation trust rather than a revolving project

buildings trust, focussing solely on Grade I listed Plas Teg in Flintshire, North Wales.

In 2020, Plas Teg was closed to the public due to the pandemic. Subsequently, structural

investigations commissioned by the Trust revealed that significant sums were needed to

repair the roof and interiors, following outbreaks of dry rot and failure of roofing materials.

The house remains closed to the public whilst building works continue and a proper legal

framework is established to enable the house’s preservation.

The current Mission of the Trust is, therefore, to help facilitate the stabilisation of Plas Teg

and secure its future for public benefit consistent with the Trust Objectives and Vision.

 

Objectives and activities

 

Objectives and aims

The objects of the Trust as specified in the Memorandum of Association are, but not limited to:

To preserve for the benefit of the people of Wales and of the Nation, the historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in and around Plas Teg, Pontblyddyn, Mold, Flintshire in buildings (including any structure or erection, and any part of a building as so defined) of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest.

 

Public Benefit

The project development stage is an essential part of moving from concept to final design and securing monies that will facilitate completion of the project and the re-opening of Plas Teg thereby delivering the public benefits outlined in the Mission.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission general guidance on public benefits when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and planning future activities.

 

Volunteers

The Trustees and Directors of the charity are all volunteers. The charity relies on the support of the Trustees, members of the Bayley family and a core of volunteers at Plas Teg for the strategic direction of the charity and its objectives.

 

 

 

The have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the should undertake.

Achievements and performance

 

Charitable activities

During the 2023/24 financial year the project focus has been to carry out works to stabilise

cause by storm damage, and dialogue with the Landmark Trust and National Trust, as

eventual beneficiaries of Plas Teg and its contents under Mrs Cornelia Bayley’s will.

Financial review

 

Financial position

During the year the Unrestricted Funds have decreased. The Unrestricted Reserves have decreased from £45,438 in June 2023 to £32696.19 at June 2024. The decrease in funds has due to because of expenditure relating to emergency repairs to the roof at Plas Teg.

 

Continuation of funding

The main source of income has been from private donations.

 

Investments policy and objectives
