The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2024

Trustees’ report

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Trust.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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 Information

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 to 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 its professional advisers, are given on page 3.

Objects, Aims, Objectives and Activities

Charitable Objective

The main objective of the Trust is the advancement of the education and awareness of individuals and groups of disabled and non-disabled people through residential and day programmes of adventure, learning, challenge and relaxation in a fully accessible and inclusive Christian environment.

Through its trading company, Kepplewray Limited, a large mansion (‘Kepplewray’) in the Lake District was acquired which, after substantial renovation, enables the Trust to meet its charitable objective. Programmes at 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 to 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.

Achievement and performance

Despite best efforts in sales and marketing our residential booking revenue continued to fall over the course of the year, following the pattern from the previous year. The decrease in residential group bookings is very challenging and seems to be a reflection of the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis in the UK. Where residentials are booked the length of stay has reduced to 1-2 nights rather than the 3-4 nights previously taken, which means that margins are being squeezed.

We have sought to mitigate the reduction is school residentials by developing a self-catering offer as a way of diversifying the business and although that is still in its early stages there has been some uptake with booking in the diary for 2025.

We also delivered a series of activity days as part of Active Cumbria’s Living Longer Better initiative and worked with Age UK Barrow to enable 24 over 65s to participate in several canoe adventures on Coniston. It was very well received by all participants and plans are afoot to develop another series of events with Age UK members in 2025.

Refurb Projects

Despite the challenging economic conditions there has been progress in the successful delivery of projects to improve the Centre building and introduce new assets into our offer.

These are:

• Installation of a further 17 double glazed windows on the front elevation

• Installation of new kitchen equipment to greatly modernise and improve the effectiveness of the servery area in the dining room

• Refurbishment of a couple of bedrooms with new carpets

• Refurbishment of the staff bathroom on the first floor

• The building of a multi-purpose 6 metre x 12 metre outdoor shelter on the edge of the field which has proved to be a popular and well used addition since it completion in late spring 2024.

• We have also been able to replace and or renew a significant number of items of activity kit due to the generosity of various funders.

CGP Support: In regard to the ongoing refurbishment project we have been very encouraged by an offer of support from local business CGP. In the late summer of 2024 discussions began with their team in regard to them helping out with a full overhaul of the internal and external decoration of the Centre building. In addition they would also like to organise and pay for the tarmacking of our car park and use their estate team to help tidy up the grounds and garden areas. This will be a substantial investment into the future of Kepplewray and pave the way for further improvements in the quality of our residential accommodation and our hospitality offer. These improvements are planned to take place during the Spring and Summer of 2025.

Broughton School: We continued close links with Broughton-in-Furness 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 to inspire and equip these young children for living life to the full in the great outdoors, whatever the weather.

PIF: We continue to make good use of our Participation Inclusion Fund, which provides greatly subsidised access to activities for hundreds of guests who would not normally be able to join us at the Centre. Thanks to the generosity of a number of funders 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 PI.

New Activity Manager: We were excited by the appointment of Johan Hoving to the roll of Activities Manager and his arrival has brought a new energy and renewed vision to the activities programme. He has come with a lot of ideas and vision for the future of the activities delivery which will require some changes going forward but which should ultimately improve and upgrade our offer. Johan is highly regarded in the outdoor industry and comes with vast experience of running his own Outdoor Pursuits business for over 20 years. He has also donated a number of items of kit to the Centre from that business (River Deep Mountain High) with a promise of more to come in the future

Traineeship: As a result of Johans arrival we are now planning to take on a Trainee Instructor who has been recruited after attending Kepplewray as part of a Pathfinder group in July. Alice will start her new role with us in February 2025 and it is hoped will be a building block in creating a strong core team of well qualified young enthusiastic instructors at the Centre in the longer term.

Our thanks are also due to all of those who have made this continued momentum possible. To the staff team in particular, but also to my fellow trustees, to our donors, to our returning user groups, to our essential prayerful supporters and to the Broughton-in-Furness community. The combined efforts of all of these groups have enabled our inclusive journey to continue and to evolve even through a period of great uncertainty and vulnerability.

The Bethesda Project in Burundi

The Trust has continued its support of the work of the Bethesda Project in the Muyinga diocese in northern Burundi through restricted donations from supporters around the UK. The work is carried out by national staff under a team leader reporting to the Bishop of Muyinga. They visit people with disabilities, prioritising the young in the villages around Muyinga providing holistic care. This includes providing physiotherapy, mobility and other aids, nutrition advice, promoting long term self-sufficiency, and education to try to remove the barriers to inclusion.

Over the past year the team has been developing their network of local contacts enabling them to provide locally made supportive equipment such as seating and mobility scooters. In addition, they have expanded the number of villages that they visit, enabling more local people to receive support, whilst maintaining a program of following up ongoing cases.

Gifts have been received to enable the purchase of a vehicle for the Bishop and other diocesan staff who have previously been reliant on use of the Bethesda vehicle for transport. Donors have also promised funds to purchase two motor-cycles, which will give the team greater flexibility in their work.

The relatively low cost of operating in Burundi means much can be achieved with modest funds although increasing inflation is a concern and costs have been rising. We have been in fruitful discussions with “Food for the Hungry” regarding the establishment of some collaborative work to develop sustainable farming in the region served by Bethesda.

There are plans to visit Burundi in October 2025 to introduce potential supporters to the work in person in Muyinga. In the meantime the violent unrest in neighbouring DRC is a great cause for concern and we are monitoring the situation and praying for its de-escalation.

We are very grateful to our faithful supporters of this vital work in one of the world’s poorest countries.

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 staff, implement, review and amend our policies in order to deliver the best possible service to our guests.

Thanks

Donations and grants are vital to the development of the Centre. We are very grateful to all of our supporters and donors.

Financial review and results for the year

The Trust’s year end is 30 September, and the accounts are independently examined annually. The consolidated results are shown in the unaudited accounts attached to 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 at 30 September 2024 are in deficit by £756,591 (2023: deficit of £701,332). Of this amount, £663,721 (2023: £673,458) are long term liabilities not due to crystallise for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Allowing for this, the adjusted free reserves for the group at 30 September 2024 are a deficit of £92,870 (2023: deficit of £27,874).

The charity’s free reserves at 30 September 2024 are in deficit by £135,949 (2023: deficit of £70,941). Of this amount, £239,140 (2023: £239,140) are long term liabilities not due to crystallise for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Allowing for this and the long-term debtor of 133,998 (2023: £155,173), the adjusted free reserves for the charity at 30 September 2024 is a deficit of (2023: surplus of £13,026).

Despite its financial struggles and a failure to build any reserves Kepplewray Trust continues to effectively deliver its mission driven focus thanks to the support of donors and the generous intervention of its Trustees. We believe the following points help support the argument that despite the lack of reserves we are still a going concern

1. Earned income reduced but there are signs of recovery through new markets and diversification of our offer. Our earned income has been reduced post covid and we are working hard to recover this income by

2. widening our sales and marketing reach to new areas of the Northwest region as well as;

3. seeking to diversify our offer in particular with the introduction of self-catering options to help fill weekends.

Both these initiatives are beginning to show signs of working albeit slowly.

1. Strong Donor Base : Regular contributions from committed donors continue to help sustain the charity's activities. We hope to grow this in the future.

2. Effective Cost Management : The charity has demonstrated effective cost management and the ability to operate on a shoestring budget. We continue to work on efficient use of resources and cost-cutting measures to ensure sustainability.

3. NB We hope in the near future to significantly reduce our rent outgoings due to the intervention of one of the Kepplewray management group who is planning to pay off the remaining mortgage and take over as landlord of the centre but offering a 5 year holiday from rent.

4. Positive Impact and Community Support : The charity's positive impact on its clients and strong support from beneficiaries and stakeholders is a sign of its longer term viability. In particular the support from local business CGP in the refurbishment of the building is a significant added value to the operation saving tens of thousands of pounds and adding huge value to the building and grounds.

5. Access to Credit : The charity has access to short-term financing options via the Kepplewray Ltd overdraft which we have judicially used to manage cash flow issues and continue operations.

6. Future Funding Opportunities : The charity has started using the services of an external fundraiser and it is hoped that this will lead to greater success in potential future funding opportunities, such as upcoming grants or fundraising campaigns. One of our staff is organising a world first challenge by sailing a kayak around Ireland in the summer of 2025 and hope to raise significant funds for Kepplewray as well as raise our profile.

1. Dedicated Trustees, Leadership and Staff : A committed leadership team and dedicated staff all contribute to the charity's mission during challenging financial times. Their dedication helps navigate financial difficulties and help to find innovative solutions.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2024

1. Mission-Driven Focus : The charity's unwavering commitment to its mission can inspire confidence in donors, volunteers, and stakeholders. We do have a clear and compelling mission to provide inclusive adventure experiences for all abilities and to use these to develop confidence and self-esteem in our young participants.

2. Financial Planning and Forecasting : we are committed to using and improving financial planning and forecasting to help the charity anticipate and manage financial challenges.

Future Development

The significant investment in the Kepplewray building has continued with the majority of the windows now having being replaced and a new kitchen servery installed. There are plans in place to 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.

In regard to this refurbishment we have been very encouraged by the offer of support from local business CGP (referenced above) and believe that this will help Kepplewray to improve our overall offer and move towards a more sustainable future,

Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The charity is governed by its Trust deed dating from 1992. The Trustees are granted wide powers of investment and of application of Trust funds towards the charitable objects of the Trust except that they may not undertake permanent trading activities in raising funds to achieve its objects.

Governing body

The charity is governed by its trustees, of whom there are currently five. They are responsible for the administration of the objects of the Trust, having overall control and holding the legal, financial and management responsibility of the charity. They meet at least quarterly, but also receive regular reports from the Management Group.

Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of new Trustees

Potential new trustees are approached by the Chairman on the basis of eligibility, availability, expertise and personal competence. They are normally invited to join the Kepplewray Management Group before being invited to become a trustee. On the group, they are introduced to all of the workings of the Charity. As trustees, they receive copies of Charity Commission newsletters and are informed of training courses that may be suitable for them.

Group structure and relationships

On 1 January 1995 the Trust signed a 99 year lease agreement with Kepplewray Limited, which is wholly owned by the Trust, to secure the exclusive use of the property at Kepplewray and enable the Trust to further its charitable objectives. The results of Kepplewray Limited are shown in note 15 to the financial statements.

Risk Management

The Trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Those risks have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate them. In keeping under review the Trust’s activities, Trustees are mindful of the potential for any changes to the present range of risks.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales/Northern Ireland requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• state whether applicable accounting standards 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 charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the Kepplewray Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 September 2024 which are set out on pages 11 to 29.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts (both parent and group) carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

I draw attention to the disclosures in the going concern and reserves policies regarding the Trustees’ assessment of the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, it is important to note that restricted funds are currently being used to support general expenditure. The Trustees are committed to replenishing these restricted funds by addressing the deficit in unrestricted funds. However, this situation represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. My report has not been modified in respect of this matter.

I confirm that there are 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.

The Kepplewray Trust Trustees’ report and consolidated financial statements 30 September 2024

Notes (forming part of the financial statements)

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The Kepplewray Trust meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

At the balance sheet date, the Charity’s unrestricted funds were in deficit, resulting in restricted funds being used to support general expenditure, following a challenging financial year. The Trustees have assessed the financial position of the Charity, including financial forecasts extending beyond 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Further details of this assessment are provided on pages 7-8 of the financial statements. The Trustees are committed to restoring restricted funds by addressing the unrestricted fund deficit.

Based on this assessment, the Trustees are of the view that there are sufficient positive indicators, and cash flows, to support the conclusion that the Charity has the ability to continue as a going concern for at least this period. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis

Funds

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity 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. There are no designated funds in the period.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost 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 and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Income recognition policies

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when it is probable the charity will be legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.

• Accommodation and activity income are recognised when the party has stayed at the premises and the service has been provided. If a stay spans the year end, income will be accrued for the proportion of the stay falling into the earlier year.

• Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the SOFA when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received.

• The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Where services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity. Donated services and facilities are analysed in note 2.

• Investment income is included when receivable.

Debtors

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

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Other costs comprise the costs of running the charity, including strategic planning for its future development, also external audit, any legal advice for the trustees, and all the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirement, such as the costs of Trustees’ meetings and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public accountability.

Rent charged to the charity by its subsidiary company is treated as a cost of the charity, and the intra-group income and costs are excluded from the consolidated figures.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental costs of acquisition. Assets which are used by the group for direct charitable purposes are allocated as such. There are no assets otherwise classified.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Freehold property Nil Semi-permanent property 10% Fixtures and fittings 10%/20% Equipment 10%/20% Motor vehicles 25%/12.5% for motorcars 10% with residual value of £1,000 for minibuses Equipment in Burundi 33%

The trustees perform annual impairment reviews to ensure that the recoverable amount is not lower than the carrying value.

Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income based on occupancy levels.

Investments

Current asset investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the period. Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less any provision for permanent diminution in value

Notes (continued)

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Stock

Stock consists of finished goods for resale and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Related party transactions

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in the FRS 102 and have not disclosed related party transactions with its subsidiary undertaking.

Pensions: Defined Contribution

The Charity set up a pension scheme with The Peoples’ Pension in March 2016 to comply with automatic enrolment requirements. Contributions to the scheme are charged in the SOFA as they become payable.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. In the opinion of the Trustees there have been no significant judgements made in the process of applying the above accounting policies. There have been no key assumptions concerning future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

The Barclays Bank loan (£324,748) is repayable over twenty-five years and will be repaid in full by December 2033. It bears interest at 2% over base rate. The bank loan is secured by a fixed charge over the freehold property of Kepplewray Limited. There were no other secured loans as of 30 September 2024. Consequently, the amount of secured liabilities at 30 September 2024 amounted to £324,748 (2023: £348,798).

A government-secured bounce back loan for £50,000 was taken out with Barclays Bank in July 2020, to ease the impact of the coronavirus restrictions. Monthly repayments on this loan commenced in August 2021 and will be repaid in full by July 2026.

Other loans totalling £354,640 (2023: £330,327) are interest free. The Directors and Trustees have received assurance from the lender confirming there is no obligation to repay before July 2026. Since the year end, a second legal charge for this loan has been secured on the freehold property of Kepplewray Limited.
