The day to day operations of the Charity are undertaken by Mrs. C. Wilkes, senior manager.
It is registered as a charity with the Charities Commission. Membership of the company must be approved by the Board of Trustees. Each person who wishes to become a membership deliver to the company an application for membership in such as the board require executed by them.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Charity must have a minimum of 4 trustees to be quorate. The permitted maximum number of trustees is currently 7. Two trustees must offer themselves for re-election by rotation at the AGM which must be held each calendar year.
Organisational structure
The Board of Trustees administers The Charity. The Board meets at least quarterly. The information is provided to the Trustees by the Charity administrator.
Induction and training of new trustees
New Trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making process, the business plan and recent financial performance of the company.
Risk based approach
The Board of Trustees commit to plan against risk in respect of the whole Charity. This includes identifying all risks involved with generating income and the impact of any loss in sources of income. Viable alternatives would then be sought. The whole of the Trustees are made aware of the Risks relative to the Charity and their legal responsibilities.

Day to day management of the project is overseen by a project management committee comprising of at least two trustees, one of whom is the chairman.
Related parties
The Charity has a close relationship with the trustees of The Peel Centre, an organisation which runs a building situated close to the property and grounds of
The Dronfield Heritage Trust
.
Objectives and activities
The main purpose of the Charity is the maintenance and upkeep of the Heritage Asset known as The Dronfield Hall Barn. Originally this was a derelict building where the heritage asset was at risk and has now been sympathetically restored to retain these features. This is achieved through donations, grants, exhibitions and rental of the Barn and by running an events programme. The Charity also has access to a large group of unpaid volunteers who's help and dedication is paramount to the Charity's success.
Achievements and performance
The restoration of the building has been maintained throughout the period with grants received during covid now being utilised. All fundraising undertaken by the Trust is utilised on the project. THe upkeep includes both structural and general maintenance. The Trust retains its centrepoint for the community of Dronfield for volunteering, holding events and exhibitions.
Financial review
The Trust took the decision to move its financial year to 31st December 2022 to align it with the calendar year. Therefore, as at the accounting period ending December 2022, Dronfield Heritage Trust had a positive period with its wedding functions utilising 28 out of the 30 licences available. With Covid support now finishing, very little Grants have been received and those received are not Covid related. The disclosed negative results are mainly due to the upkeep and maintenance of the Barn and surrounding area. This includes £12,680 on repairing the outer wall. The Trust is still coming out of the affect of Covid but the Trustees are confident for the future.
Financial statements
The Trustees acknowledge the delay in completing the accounts on time, this will be addressed for the year to 31st December 2023 with signed accounts being made available within 90 days thereon.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
|
Period from 1 August 2021 to 31 December 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of
The Dronfield Heritage Trust
('the charity') for the period ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 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
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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2.
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3.
the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
Fund accounting
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: -income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. -legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. -income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. -income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Tangible assets
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

|
Fixtures and fittings |

|

Heritage assets
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
