The Kepplewrdy T[U￿t T￿￿te￿, TepaTI and coii%Dlidated financial filateTnent 3(18epleinber 2023 Trustees, report The Trustees present their report and the financial ststements of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORPI "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" IFRS 1021 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Trust. The financial statements have been prepared in ac¢ordan¢e with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the Trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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 published in October 2019. Reference and Administrative Infomiation The Causeway Trust was created by a Declaration of Trust dated 24 September 1992 and was registered as a charity on 16 December 1992. By a deed dated 1 October 1994 the Trust's name was changed lo The Kepplewray Trust. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1015762. The Trustees, executive officers and principal addresses of the Charity, together with ils professional advisers, are given on page 3. Objects. aims. objectlves and actlvltles Charitable Objective The main objective of the Trust is the advan￿Ment of the education and awareness of individuals and groups of disabled and non-disabled people through residential and day programmes of adventure, leaming, challenge and relaxation in a fully accessible and inclusive Christian environment. Through ils trading company, Kepplewray Limited, a large mansion I'Kepplewray'l in the Lake District was acquired which, after substantial renovation, enables the Trust lo meet its charitable objective. Programmes al Kepplewray stretch mental and physical capabilities and deliberately promote the inclusion of disabled and disadvantaged people so that their conditions of life might be improved. The Trustees have referred lo the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. Achlevement and performance Booking revenues were marginally down on last year and we saw a decrease in residential group bookings which was partially offset by an increase in activity day bookings. We are putting this down lo the impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis which has been fell across the board in the UK and as a result families are not able lo afford some of the extras such as school residenlials. The redevelopment and maintenance of the centre continued with further remedial work on dry rol and damp being continued through the spring and summer of 2023 to great effect with signrficant improvements in the appearance and overall condition of the ground floor areas in particular. However we did spend more than was originally intended on the project as onTr il was underway further problems were revealed that required immediate attention. This extra work resulted in a large overspend which has contributed to the losses reported in these accounts. However these losses do need to be seen in the light of the capital investment which has been made in the fabric of the building and which will underpin the future of our residential services for the next 30 years at least. Plans are now in Pla￿ to further improve the dining room servery area and introduce a new reception office at the front of the building. as well as installing new floor coverings in the halls and lounges. Fundraising work is taking place to ensure this can lake place in the financial year 2023-24. Continued..... DISCOVER @XEPPLEWRAY DISCOVERADVENTURE. DISCOVER LIFE

The Kepplewrdy T[U￿t T￿￿te￿, TepaTI and coii%Dlidated financial filateTnent 3(18epleinber 2023 Trustees, report (continued) Achievement and performance {continuedl Encouragingly we held our first major corporate Team Building Day when we hosted 60 people from the MOD for a full day of team building challenges which was well received and has resulted in a repeal booking for 2024. We hope lo grow this element of work in the future. We continued close links with Broughlon-in-Fumess Primary School, welcoming their pupils for activities throughout the year and providing freshly cooked school dinners for them on a daily basis. In particular the Kepp Adventure programme continues lo inspire and equip these young children for living life to the full in the great outdoors, whatever the weather. We continue to make good use of our Participation Inclusion Fund, which provides greatly subsidised access lo activities for hundreds of guests who would not normally be able to join us at the Cenlre. We have welcomed continued support for the Participation Inclusion Fund by trusts, foundations and other outside funders and we estimate that 1 in 4 of our visitors are able to come to the centre as a direct result of the support they receive from the Participation Inclusion Fund. In the summer 2023 we said goodbye to our strategic director who has contributed greatly to the increase in revenue and external funding which have enabled significant improvements lo the building reported in last year's report. In his place we have recruited a new CEO lo continue the strategic development of the Trust and lo develop the long term suslainabilily of the charity's activities. Our thanks are also due lo all of those who have made this continued momentum possible. To the staff team in particular, bul also lo my fellow Iruslees, to our donors, lo our returning user groups, to our essential prayerful supporters and lo the Broughton-in-Furness community. The combined efforts of all of these groups have enabled our inciusive journey to continLJe and to evolve even through a period of great uncertainty and vulnerability. The Bethesda Project in Burundi Through reslricled donations from supporters around the UK, the Trust has continued ils support of the work of the Bethesda Project in the Muyinga diocese in northern Burundi. The work is carried out by national staff under a team leader reporting to the Bishop of Muyinga. They visit people with disabilities, priorilising the young in the villages around Muyinga providing holistic care. This includes providing physiolherapy, mobility and other aids, nutrition advice, promoting long tem) self-sufficiency, and education lo try lo remove the barriers lo inclusion. Following the arrival of a new Bishop in June and the appointment of a new Bethesda team leader, we have seen a significant growth in the maturity and effectiveness of the team. Three experts from the UK were able to visit lo provide training including in triage, physiolherapy, planning and budgeting skills. Later in the year the Bethesda team visited a similar more established work in Tanzania for a week's training and the link with that work is being followed up with the Tanzanian team currently providing a week of training in Muyinga to share best practice. We hope lo build on the links with the Tanzanian team going forward. The relatively low cost of operating in Burundi means much can be achieved with modest funds. We are very grateful to our faithful supporters of this vital work in one of the world's poorest countries. Continued......................................... DISCOVER @XEPPLEWRAY DISCOVERADVENTURE.

Tlie Kepplewrdy T[U￿t T￿￿te£S, TepaTI and cnii%Dlidated financial filateTnent 3(18epleinber 2023 Trustees, report (continued) Management Development In line with good practice, and very much as part of the work of the Development Team, we continue to develop our internal systems, support our stsff, implement, review and amend our policies in order lo deliver the best possible service lo our guests.

The consolidated results are shown in the unaudited accounts allached lo this report. Investment Policy The Trustees do not envisage the Trust holding investments in the foreseeable future apart from shares in its trading subsidiary. Any shares donated to the group will be sold as soon as they are fully listed. Reserves Policy The group s free reserves al 30 September 2023 are in deficit by £701,33212022.. deficit of £666,296). Of this amount, £673,45812022.. £683,458) are long term liabilities not dLJe to crystallise for at least 12 months from the balance sheet dale. Allowing for this, the adjusted free reserves for the groLJP al 30 September 2023 are a deficit of £27,87412022.' surplus of £17,162). In regards to the deficit, this was due to a one-off expenditure on the repair of areas of the building which had been impacted by dry rol and damp. Whilst we had funding for the majority of that work, il soon became clear that there was more damage than previously thought. Given the importance of getting these issues cleared up for the longer-lerm benefit of the building and our residential offer it was decided to keep going and finish the work properly. We do not expect to have a deficit on the adjusted free reserves al the next year end. The charity's free reserves al 30 September 2023 are in deficit by £70,941 12022.. deficit of £32,554>. Of this amount. £239.14012022.. £239,140) are long term liabilities not due lo crystallise for al least 12 months from the balance sheet dale.

Future Developmgnt The significant investment in the Kepplewray building has continued since the last report with damp and rot problems being remedied, insulation improved and the majority of the windows being replaced in stages some of which will continue on into 2024. There are plans in place lo deliver further refurbishment works throughout the whole building over the next 5 years in a phased programme of works which will require significant fund raising and project management but which are absolutely necessary in order to maximise the use and potential of the Centre building.
