Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Trustees. report {continuedl For the year ended 31 December 2020 3. Preserving the environment The Trust's 32 acre site is mainly wotxlland which is maintained by the Trust's employees for the benefit of all the users generally but also allowing, particularly, school groups, lo fulfil educational requirements arising from the national curriculum. B) The benefit for the public can be illustrated as follows.. 1. In the year ended 31st December 2020, there were approx. 14,000 users (mainly children and young people} who visited Lodge Hill. This was due to reduced operations due to the pandemic and the restrictions put in place. School and larger groups were not able lo visit Lodge Hill. We were however, able lo continue supporting vulnerable young people and SEND families throughout the year. 2. Many of these users were young people that took part in activities organised by the outdoor instructors during the period. The Trust has made it a particular priority lo ensure that the cenlre's facilities are available for disabled users and our work in this regard has been recognised by the Go Easy Improving Access Awards in conjunction with Chichèster District Council. The now inclusive facilities have attracted a spectrum of users. Achievements and performance a. Chairman's Report At Lodge Hill we regularly review the site and the aclivilies on offer lo ensure we keep up with the changing needs of our customers and their range of requirements. Our main objective is lo secure our long-lerm future with a number of initiatives. Ultimately, we strive to be the prime provider of outdoor activities for young people. On paper, 2020 was going lo be a record year, the first year we started lo attract overseas groups and bookings were extending over what would have previously been described as, quieter months. We have been severely tested with the pandemic that struck at the end of February. Lisa Mals endeavours lo secure donations, funding and grants have seen us survive an unprecedented all8ck on our very surviv81 as a charity. We maintained a core staff presence lo maintain site and manage the increasing numbers of vulnerable young people that required 1..1 support. We m8inlained our commitment lo the Challengeu project on a 1..1 basis also. The rest of our team were furloughed. As the lockdowns ensued. Lisa and I took the opportunity to review how we would recover from this situation and what our structure and service would look like going forward. We are confident we will have the right people in the right places and be in a very strong position to maximise occupancy, service the contracts in place and come out of the lockdown much leaner and more capable lo deliver full-service levels. Phase of our Vision was delayed due to the pandemic but we are still on course lo deliver a disability suite with adjacent carers, room. We are still committed lo selling a small parcel of land on the North East boundary. This will secure enough funding to place funds into reseNe. 11 will also allow us lo move fomard on our expansive modernizing and maintenance programme. Our core business is schools in a day visit or residential capacity. We have a strong and growing relationship with Wesl Sussex County Council and are one of their preferred providers of activities for family groups with a disabled child or young person. The Challengeu programme for young people that have offended, are at risk of offending or have disengaged with society or education is becoming an increasing influence on our overall Page 4

The centre is licensed for weddings and we have a unique offering for those wishing lo share their special day al Lodge Hill. We have great conference facilities to host meetings, corporate events and presentations that add additional income streams to support our core work of supporting children and young people to thrive. 2019 saw the added income stream from the newly refurbished cottage at the grounds entrance. It is multi-use and has seen a welcome source of income from groups tx)oking via the Air BnB website. The centre would not be the success it is without the hard work and dedication of the superb Lodge Hill team guided by Lisa May, our dedicated CEO and the hours of voluntary work carried out by our highly motivated Trustees. We are incredibly lucky to receive wide ranging support from generous funders, sponsors and donors. Our President, Patrons and Company Members have played a significant role in the development and success of Lodge Hill through their continued support. I will finish this section with a special tribute lo Lisa May. She has been instrumental in the survival of our charity through the pandemic. Without her hard work. leadership, ideas and relationships with key contacts, l am sure we wouldn't be as far ahead as we are now. Development plan In devèloping our business plan we recognised that the challenge for Lodge Hill was lo become a viable and accessible, high-class provider of choice for users from West Sussex and beyond requiring outdoor aclivilies, residential trips and day meetingslconferences, thus enabling the Trust to remain financially sustainable. We reaffimed the Trust's mission lo target a wide range of groups and individuals, including those with physical disabilities, mental health or learning difficulties and young offenders. The business plan identified that in order to achieve this challenge the Trust would need lo.. 1. Maintain financial sustainability whilst ensuring Lodge Hill provides best value for money for young people 2. Maintain a professional and committed staff team 3. Maximise the use of facilities and establish on-going communications with key players and supporters 4. Maintain the centre and ils facilities to a high standard and plan appropriate improvements 5. Establish joint initiatives with recognised partners and targeted funding. The business plan is a 'live' document and as such is constsntly being updated and refined. b. Key performance indicators The principle indicators of perfomance are financi81 reporting of current results compared lo the budget numbers and previous years. The budget is formally adopted 8t a meeting of Trustees 8t the start of the year. Financi81 reports are prepared by the Accounts Manager and considered in detail by the Finance Committee four times per year. They are presented and discussed by the full board of trustees al each of their meetings. Client Satisfaction and statistics of repeat bookings are also considered as performance indicators. c. Events since the balance sheet date As the pandemic reslriclions began to ease, operations increased toward the end of 2020 and bookings are looking strong into 2021. Full operation in 2022 is expected now that most legal constraints due lo Covid have been removed as of July 2021. Schools and groups have booked in droves, especially from mid-2021 and throughout 2022, into 2023. New customers have booked for residential and activity days who would previously have visited other centres. Fundraising continues for recovery from Covid funds. We have been incredibly well SUPPDrted by our funders throughout the Covid crisis and this support continues. The WSCC SEND Team have awarded additional contract funds for Lodge Hill lo provide support lo families and young people lo build confidence following the challenges of lock down periods they have endured. At the ts'me of writing the Trust has not ulilised the CAF loan il took out as a safeguard when the pandemic began. Page 5
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Trustees. report {continuedl For the year ended 31 December 2020 d. Investment policy The Trust has unreslricled authority to invest its funds in the furtherance of its charitable objectives. A proportion of retained reserves is held in the form of listed investments.11 is the Trust's policy lo have these managed by an independent investment manager under a discretionary mandate requiring a mix of equity and fixed income investments. Alhough the Trust has not adopted a specific ethical policy they have instructed the investment manager that they should refrain from investing in companies that undertake activities that are incompatible with the aims and objectives of Lodge Hill. The trustees review the performance of the investment manager periodically and consider the returns achieved to date to have been satisfactory. Financial review a. Financial review 2020 has been a particularly difficult year due lo the Covid-19 pandemic preventing the trust from delivering residential and outdoor activities throughout most of the year. We were able to adapt our delivery in order lo provide outdoor activities which has meant a smaller decrease of £23,736 in activities income. Residential income however has been hit much harder wtth decrease in income of £268,935. Despite being able to reduce some costs, the running and upkeep of the sile has resulted in an overall deficit of £85,127 12019.. 426,642 surplus). b. Going concem After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to Continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concem basis can be found in the accounting policies. c. Reserves policy The Trustees review the level of reserves regularly. Reserves are a key element of financial stability and allow the Trust to cope with the fluctuating nature and timing of cash flows. Reserves allow the Trust to deal with unexpected expenditure or changes in income and give lime for appropriate action to be taken. Structure, govemance and management a. Constitution Lodge Hill Trust {the charity or the Trusll is 8 private company limited by guarantee under registered number 03590104, and a registered charity under charity number 1071041.

Risks lo the facility are countered by careful management and an awareness of risks in the day to day operations. Page 7

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of its registered Offi is.. Lodge Hill Walersfield Pulborough West Sussex RH20 1LZ Accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP {FRS 1021 Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 {effective 1 January 20151, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. Lodge Hill Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise slated in the relevant accounting policy. 2.2 Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from aulhorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity lo be able lo continue as a going concern. The charity has been materially affected by the global Covid 19 pandemic which emerged in early 2020. The related government imposed reslriclions severely constrained the usual range of activities, whether on a residential or non-residential basis. There has been a significant loss of income compared with what had been expected, although the charity has managed lo adapt ils service offering. This includes increased support and intervention work with vulnerable families and young people. The detrimental impact of Covid 19 on the charity's operating cash flow has been addressed by a range of measures including support from donors, control of costs, participation in, the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, £50,000 of new funding under the Bourn Back Loan scheme and a further £100,000 5 year loan facility secured against the charity's estate. It is considered these measures will be sufficient to ensure operations can continue for 12 months from the date of financial statement approval. Furthermore, the Charity has been able to revert lo normal trading activity in 2021, with the lifting of government reslriclions. Accordingly, the Iruslees conclude that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Page 14
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.3 Income All income is recognised On the company has enlillemenl to the income, il is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income re1vable can be measured reliably. The recognition of inwme from legacies is dependent on establishing entillemenl, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount re1Vable. Evidence of entillemenl to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient eviden that a gift has been left lo them Ilhrough knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefaclorl and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required lo satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy musl be recognised when it is probable that il will be reiVed and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed lo the company, can be reliably measured. Grants are included in the Ststemenl of financial activities on a re1vable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balan sheet. Where income is received in advance of enlillemenl of receipt, ils rewgnilion is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before inwme is reived, the income is accrued. Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included al valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical lo measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item lo the donor should be used. The gain is rewgnised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the company's accounting policies. On receipt, donated professional servi8 and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift lo the company which is the amount il would have been willing lo pay lo obtain servi8 or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market., a corresponding amount is then rewgnised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income lax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is rewgnised at the lime of the donation. Income lax recoverable in relation lo investment income is recognised al the time the investment income is re1Vable. 2.4 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or conslruclive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in selllemenl and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by aelivily. 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 allribulable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute lo more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable lo 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 lime spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incLJrred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Page 15
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.4 Expenditure (continued} All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re1vable 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 £2,000 or more are capilalised 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, tsngible fixed assets are measured al cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impaimient losses. All costs incurred lo bring a tangible fixed asset into ils intended working wndilion should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tsngible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following bases. Depreciation is provided on the following bases= Freehold property, meeting hall 2 - 5 /0 Straight line and campsite Kitchen, campsite and outdoor equipment Motor vehicles Fixtures and fillings offi equipment 10- 25°/o slraighl line 25 /0 reducing balance 15 /0 reducing balance 25 /0 Straight line 2.7 Stocks Stocks are valued al the lower of cost and nel realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 2.8 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amoLJnt after any trade discoLJnt offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid nel of any trade discounts due. 2.9 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.

Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.10 Liabilities and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation al 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 eslimaled reliably. Liabilities are recognised al the amount that the company anticipates il will pay lo settle the debt or the amount it has received as adVand payments for the goods or services il musl provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to sellle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specific to the liability- The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Stslemenl of financial activities as a finan cost. 2.11 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 al their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.12 Finance leases and hire purchase Assets obtsined under hire purchase contracts and finan leases are Capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finan lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where subslanlially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the wmpany. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, nel of the finan charge allocated lo future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is Charged lo the Statement of financial activities so as to produce a constsnt periodic rate of charge on the nel obligation outstanding in each period. 2.13 Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged lo the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 2.14 Pensions In the past the company operated a defined benefits pension scheme for fomier employees. The scheme is a mulli employer scheme where it is not possible, in the normal course of events, lo identify on a consistent and reasonable basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employers. Therefore, as required by FRS102, the company accounts for this scheme as if il was a defined contribution scheme. The amoLJnt charged lo the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account represents conlribLJtions payable lo the scheme in respect of the accounting period. The company operates a defined contribLJtion pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company lo the fund in respect of the year. Page 17
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.15 Fund accounting General funds are unreslricled funds which are available for use al 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 sel out in the notes lo the financial slatemenls. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific reslriclions imposed by onors 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 lo the financial stalemenls. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed lo be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions- The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The eslimales and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment lo the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Critical areas of judgment.. Mulli-em lo er defined benefit ension scheme Certain former employees participate in a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme with other companies in the region. In the judgement of the Iruslees, the company does not have sufficient information on the plan assets and liabilities to be able to reliably account for ils share of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets. Therefore the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme, see pension note for further details. Page 18

Multi employer defined benefit pension scheme: For certain former employees, Lodge Hill Trust participates in The Pensions Trust's Growth Plan Ithe Plan). The Plan is funded and is not contracted out of the stste scheme. The Plan is a multi employer defined pension plan. The charills eligible employees are auto enrolled into the pension scheme with The Pensions Trust. The Plan is a mulli employer scheme where the plan assets are co-mingled for investment purposes, and benefits are paid from the total Plan assets. 11 is not possible in the normal course of events lo identify on a reasonable and consislenl basis the share of the underlying assets and liabilities belonging to the individual participating employers. Due lo the nature of the Plan, the accounting charge for the year under FRS102 represents the employer wntribution payable. The rules of the Plan give the Trustees the power lo require employers to pay additional contributions in order lo ensure that the statutory funding objective under the Pensions Act 2004 is mel. The statutory funding objective is that a pension scheme should have sufficient assets lo meet its past service liabilities, known as technical provisions. If the aduarial valuation reveals a deficit, the Trustees will agree a recovery plan to eliminate the deficit over a specified period of lime either by way of additional contributions from employers, investment returns or a combination of these. The rules of the Plan slate that the proportion of obligatory contributions lo be bome by the member and the member's employer shall be determined by agreement between them. Such agreement shall require the employer to pay part of such contributions and may provide that the employer shall pay the whole of them. The total employer contribution made for the year ended 31 December 2020 was £2,60312018.' £2, 1911. The agreed normal contribution rates for future years are 3.10 for the employer and 5°/0 for the employees. At the year end there were outstanding contributions of £nil12019.' £nill. As al the balance sheet date there were O active members of the Plan employed by Lodge Hill Trust. Actuarial valuations are carried out every three years for funding purposes using the projected unit method. The funding position is calculated by comparing the assets with the past Servi liabilities as al the valuation date. Asset values are calculated by reference to market levels. Accrued past service liabilities are valued by discounting expected future benefit payTnenls using a discount rale calculated by reference lo the expected future investment returns. The most recent valuation available results are as at 30 September 2017. The market value of the Plan's assets at the valuation date was £796 million and the Plan's Technical Provisions li.e. past service liabililiesl were £928 million. The valuation therefore revealed a shortfall of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £132 million, equivalent to a funding level of 860/0. Regulations require the Trustee lo set a prudent basis for valuing the Scheme's benefits, taking into account the strength of the employers. covenant and the Scheme Actuary's advice. The Trustee is also required lo consult with employers or their representative. The Growth Plan Employer Consultative Group {GPECGI, which acts as the employers. representative for the purposes of Scheme funding, have been consulted on the valuation basis and assumptions. The value of the liabilities on this on going basis is Page 32

Where a Scheme's assets are less than the Technical Provisions a recovery plan musl be put in place to show how the deficit can be eliminated over a fixed period. The recovery plan musl be submitted to The Pensions Regulator who may investigate schemes and require changes where the Technical Provisions are sel at loo low a level or where the recovery period is loo long. The recovery plan for the Growth Plan aims lo eliminate the deficit via a combination of additional contributions from employers and investment returns. The results of the 30 September 2015 valuation showed a reduction of eight months in the length of the recovery plan, which will now end on 31 January 2025 instead of 30 September 2025.

The objects of the Trust sel this out as.. 11 The advancement of the education of young people, primarily those resident in the county of West Sussex, by helping them lo develop their mental and physical capacities that they may grow lo full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved. 21 The provisions of facilities for the further education of adults, primarily those resident in the county of West Sussex. b.

Preserving the environment The Trust's 32 acre site is mainly wotxlland which is maintained by the Trust's employees for the benefit of all the users generally but also allowing, particularly, school groups, lo fulfil educational requirements arising from the national curriculum. B) The benefit for the public can be illustrated as follows.. 1. In the year ended 31st December 2020, there were approx. 14,000 users (mainly children and young people} who visited Lodge Hill. This was due to reduced operations due to the pandemic and the restrictions put in place. School and larger groups were not able lo visit Lodge Hill. We were however, able lo continue supporting vulnerable young people and SEND families throughout the year. 2. Many of these users were young people that took part in activities organised by the outdoor instructors during the period. The Trust has made it a particular priority lo ensure that the cenlre's facilities are available for disabled users and our work in this regard has been recognised by the Go Easy Improving Access Awards in conjunction with Chichèster District Council. The now inclusive facilities have attracted a spectrum of users. Achievements and performance a. Chairman's Report At Lodge Hill we regularly review the site and the aclivilies on offer lo ensure we keep up with the changing needs of our customers and their range of requirements. Our main objective is lo secure our long-lerm future with a number of initiatives. Ultimately, we strive to be the prime provider of outdoor activities for young people. On paper, 2020 was going lo be a record year, the first year we started lo attract overseas groups and bookings were extending over what would have previously been described as, quieter months. We have been severely tested with the pandemic that struck at the end of February. Lisa Mals endeavours lo secure donations, funding and grants have seen us survive an unprecedented all8ck on our very surviv81 as a charity. We maintained a core staff presence lo maintain site and manage the increasing numbers of vulnerable young people that required 1..1 support. We m8inlained our commitment lo the Challengeu project on a 1..1 basis also. The rest of our team were furloughed. As the lockdowns ensued. Lisa and I took the opportunity to review how we would recover from this situation and what our structure and service would look like going forward. We are confident we will have the right people in the right places and be in a very strong position to maximise occupancy, service the contracts in place and come out of the lockdown much leaner and more capable lo deliver full-service levels. Phase of our Vision was delayed due to the pandemic but we are still on course lo deliver a disability suite with adjacent carers, room. We are still committed lo selling a small parcel of land on the North East boundary. This will secure enough funding to place funds into reseNe. 11 will also allow us lo move fomard on our expansive modernizing and maintenance programme. Our core business is schools in a day visit or residential capacity. We have a strong and growing relationship with Wesl Sussex County Council and are one of their preferred providers of activities for family groups with a disabled child or young person. The Challengeu programme for young people that have offended, are at risk of offending or have disengaged with society or education is becoming an increasing influence on our overall Page 4

The centre is licensed for weddings and we have a unique offering for those wishing lo share their special day al Lodge Hill. We have great conference facilities to host meetings, corporate events and presentations that add additional income streams to support our core work of supporting children and young people to thrive. 2019 saw the added income stream from the newly refurbished cottage at the grounds entrance. It is multi-use and has seen a welcome source of income from groups tx)oking via the Air BnB website. The centre would not be the success it is without the hard work and dedication of the superb Lodge Hill team guided by Lisa May, our dedicated CEO and the hours of voluntary work carried out by our highly motivated Trustees. We are incredibly lucky to receive wide ranging support from generous funders, sponsors and donors. Our President, Patrons and Company Members have played a significant role in the development and success of Lodge Hill through their continued support. I will finish this section with a special tribute lo Lisa May. She has been instrumental in the survival of our charity through the pandemic. Without her hard work. leadership, ideas and relationships with key contacts, l am sure we wouldn't be as far ahead as we are now. Development plan In devèloping our business plan we recognised that the challenge for Lodge Hill was lo become a viable and accessible, high-class provider of choice for users from West Sussex and beyond requiring outdoor aclivilies, residential trips and day meetingslconferences, thus enabling the Trust to remain financially sustainable. We reaffimed the Trust's mission lo target a wide range of groups and individuals, including those with physical disabilities, mental health or learning difficulties and young offenders. The business plan identified that in order to achieve this challenge the Trust would need lo.. 1. Maintain financial sustainability whilst ensuring Lodge Hill provides best value for money for young people 2. Maintain a professional and committed staff team 3. Maximise the use of facilities and establish on-going communications with key players and supporters 4. Maintain the centre and ils facilities to a high standard and plan appropriate improvements 5. Establish joint initiatives with recognised partners and targeted funding. The business plan is a 'live' document and as such is constsntly being updated and refined. b. Key performance indicators The principle indicators of perfomance are financi81 reporting of current results compared lo the budget numbers and previous years. The budget is formally adopted 8t a meeting of Trustees 8t the start of the year. Financi81 reports are prepared by the Accounts Manager and considered in detail by the Finance Committee four times per year. They are presented and discussed by the full board of trustees al each of their meetings. Client Satisfaction and statistics of repeat bookings are also considered as performance indicators. c. Events since the balance sheet date As the pandemic reslriclions began to ease, operations increased toward the end of 2020 and bookings are looking strong into 2021. Full operation in 2022 is expected now that most legal constraints due lo Covid have been removed as of July 2021. Schools and groups have booked in droves, especially from mid-2021 and throughout 2022, into 2023. New customers have booked for residential and activity days who would previously have visited other centres. Fundraising continues for recovery from Covid funds. We have been incredibly well SUPPDrted by our funders throughout the Covid crisis and this support continues. The WSCC SEND Team have awarded additional contract funds for Lodge Hill lo provide support lo families and young people lo build confidence following the challenges of lock down periods they have endured. At the ts'me of writing the Trust has not ulilised the CAF loan il took out as a safeguard when the pandemic began. Page 5

Investment policy The Trust has unreslricled authority to invest its funds in the furtherance of its charitable objectives. A proportion of retained reserves is held in the form of listed investments.11 is the Trust's policy lo have these managed by an independent investment manager under a discretionary mandate requiring a mix of equity and fixed income investments. Alhough the Trust has not adopted a specific ethical policy they have instructed the investment manager that they should refrain from investing in companies that undertake activities that are incompatible with the aims and objectives of Lodge Hill. The trustees review the performance of the investment manager periodically and consider the returns achieved to date to have been satisfactory. Financial review a. Financial review 2020 has been a particularly difficult year due lo the Covid-19 pandemic preventing the trust from delivering residential and outdoor activities throughout most of the year. We were able to adapt our delivery in order lo provide outdoor activities which has meant a smaller decrease of £23,736 in activities income. Residential income however has been hit much harder wtth decrease in income of £268,935. Despite being able to reduce some costs, the running and upkeep of the sile has resulted in an overall deficit of £85,127 12019.. 426,642 surplus). b. Going concem After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to Continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concem basis can be found in the accounting policies. c. Reserves policy The Trustees review the level of reserves regularly. Reserves are a key element of financial stability and allow the Trust to cope with the fluctuating nature and timing of cash flows. Reserves allow the Trust to deal with unexpected expenditure or changes in income and give lime for appropriate action to be taken. Structure, govemance and management a.

Statement of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 {effective 1 January 20151, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. Lodge Hill Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise slated in the relevant accounting policy. 2.2 Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from aulhorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity lo be able lo continue as a going concern. The charity has been materially affected by the global Covid 19 pandemic which emerged in early 2020. The related government imposed reslriclions severely constrained the usual range of activities, whether on a residential or non-residential basis. There has been a significant loss of income compared with what had been expected, although the charity has managed lo adapt ils service offering. This includes increased support and intervention work with vulnerable families and young people. The detrimental impact of Covid 19 on the charity's operating cash flow has been addressed by a range of measures including support from donors, control of costs, participation in, the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, £50,000 of new funding under the Bourn Back Loan scheme and a further £100,000 5 year loan facility secured against the charity's estate. It is considered these measures will be sufficient to ensure operations can continue for 12 months from the date of financial statement approval. Furthermore, the Charity has been able to revert lo normal trading activity in 2021, with the lifting of government reslriclions. Accordingly, the Iruslees conclude that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Page 14
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.3 Income All income is recognised On the company has enlillemenl to the income, il is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income re1vable can be measured reliably. The recognition of inwme from legacies is dependent on establishing entillemenl, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount re1Vable. Evidence of entillemenl to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient eviden that a gift has been left lo them Ilhrough knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefaclorl and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required lo satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy musl be recognised when it is probable that il will be reiVed and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed lo the company, can be reliably measured. Grants are included in the Ststemenl of financial activities on a re1vable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balan sheet. Where income is received in advance of enlillemenl of receipt, ils rewgnilion is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before inwme is reived, the income is accrued. Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included al valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical lo measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item lo the donor should be used. The gain is rewgnised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the company's accounting policies. On receipt, donated professional servi8 and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift lo the company which is the amount il would have been willing lo pay lo obtain servi8 or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market., a corresponding amount is then rewgnised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income lax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is rewgnised at the lime of the donation. Income lax recoverable in relation lo investment income is recognised al the time the investment income is re1Vable. 2.4 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or conslruclive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in selllemenl and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by aelivily. 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 allribulable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute lo more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable lo 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 lime spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incLJrred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Page 15
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.4 Expenditure (continued} All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re1vable 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 £2,000 or more are capilalised 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, tsngible fixed assets are measured al cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impaimient losses. All costs incurred lo bring a tangible fixed asset into ils intended working wndilion should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tsngible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following bases. Depreciation is provided on the following bases= Freehold property, meeting hall 2 - 5 /0 Straight line and campsite Kitchen, campsite and outdoor equipment Motor vehicles Fixtures and fillings offi equipment 10- 25°/o slraighl line 25 /0 reducing balance 15 /0 reducing balance 25 /0 Straight line 2.7 Stocks Stocks are valued al the lower of cost and nel realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 2.8 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amoLJnt after any trade discoLJnt offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid nel of any trade discounts due. 2.9 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.

Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.10 Liabilities and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation al 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 eslimaled reliably. Liabilities are recognised al the amount that the company anticipates il will pay lo settle the debt or the amount it has received as adVand payments for the goods or services il musl provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to sellle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specific to the liability- The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Stslemenl of financial activities as a finan cost. 2.11 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 al their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.12 Finance leases and hire purchase Assets obtsined under hire purchase contracts and finan leases are Capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finan lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where subslanlially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the wmpany. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, nel of the finan charge allocated lo future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is Charged lo the Statement of financial activities so as to produce a constsnt periodic rate of charge on the nel obligation outstanding in each period. 2.13 Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged lo the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 2.14 Pensions In the past the company operated a defined benefits pension scheme for fomier employees. The scheme is a mulli employer scheme where it is not possible, in the normal course of events, lo identify on a consistent and reasonable basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employers. Therefore, as required by FRS102, the company accounts for this scheme as if il was a defined contribution scheme. The amoLJnt charged lo the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account represents conlribLJtions payable lo the scheme in respect of the accounting period. The company operates a defined contribLJtion pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company lo the fund in respect of the year. Page 17
Lodge Hill Trust IA company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) 2.15 Fund accounting General funds are unreslricled funds which are available for use al 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 sel out in the notes lo the financial slatemenls. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific reslriclions imposed by onors 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 lo the financial stalemenls. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed lo be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions- The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The eslimales and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment lo the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Critical areas of judgment.. Mulli-em lo er defined benefit ension scheme Certain former employees participate in a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme with other companies in the region. In the judgement of the Iruslees, the company does not have sufficient information on the plan assets and liabilities to be able to reliably account for ils share of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets. Therefore the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme, see pension note for further details. Page 18

Due lo the nature of the Plan, the accounting charge for the year under FRS102 represents the employer wntribution payable. The rules of the Plan give the Trustees the power lo require employers to pay additional contributions in order lo ensure that the statutory funding objective under the Pensions Act 2004 is mel. The statutory funding objective is that a pension scheme should have sufficient assets lo meet its past service liabilities, known as technical provisions. If the aduarial valuation reveals a deficit, the Trustees will agree a recovery plan to eliminate the deficit over a specified period of lime either by way of additional contributions from employers, investment returns or a combination of these. The rules of the Plan slate that the proportion of obligatory contributions lo be bome by the member and the member's employer shall be determined by agreement between them.

Actuarial valuations are carried out every three years for funding purposes using the projected unit method. The funding position is calculated by comparing the assets with the past Servi liabilities as al the valuation date. Asset values are calculated by reference to market levels. Accrued past service liabilities are valued by discounting expected future benefit payTnenls using a discount rale calculated by reference lo the expected future investment returns. The most recent valuation available results are as at 30 September 2017. The market value of the Plan's assets at the valuation date was £796 million and the Plan's Technical Provisions li.e. past service liabililiesl were £928 million. The valuation therefore revealed a shortfall of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £132 million, equivalent to a funding level of 860/0. Regulations require the Trustee lo set a prudent basis for valuing the Scheme's benefits, taking into account the strength of the employers. covenant and the Scheme Actuary's advice. The Trustee is also required lo consult with employers or their representative. The Growth Plan Employer Consultative Group {GPECGI, which acts as the employers. representative for the purposes of Scheme funding, have been consulted on the valuation basis and assumptions.

The purpose of this report is to bring to your attention our comments from the recent independent examination carried out on Lodge Hill Trust. We appreciate that you will already be aware of the majority of the matters contained in this report through earlier discussions you will have had with the independent examination team, but we hope that you will find this report a useful summary of those discussions.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Katie Collet and Lisa May for the assistance they have provided to us during the course of our independent examination.
Our independent examination has given us a unique opportunity to understand your activities and processes. We have used this opportunity to provide you a service that is of real positive benefit to you.
During the course of our independent examination work this year we have performed the following tasks which we hope that you will have found to have been of benefit.

We have assisted you with the preparation of the charity’s financial statements and the trustees’ annual report, ensuring that they comply with all statutory requirements and with accounting standards, including the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”. In doing so we have ensured that the Charity has taken advantage of any accounting exemptions available to it so as to avoid any unnecessary over-disclosure of the Charity’s affairs that are not required to be published in publicly available financial statements.
-
We have reviewed the accounting policies that you have selected to ensure that they are meeting best practice in accounting for the sector in which the charity operates.
-
We have advised you of planned changes in legislation that may be of relevance to you in order that you may prepare for their implementation. These are detailed at Section 4 of this report.
Should you have any questions regarding any of the issues raised in this report please contact Simon Webber as the partner responsible for the independent examination of the charity, or any other member of the independent examination team, who will be happy to provide further explanations as required.

Independent Examination Report For the year ended 31 December 2020
2. Independent examiner’s report
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Lodge Hill Trust ('the charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the charity (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 charity 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 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
the accounts 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.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

3. Commentary on results
Income
Income has fallen from £1.17m last year to £0.51m in the current year (56%).
The impact of Covid-19 related restrictions was significant, charitable activity income fell from £556k to £219k (61%).
The other significant reduction is in donations, which fell 322k. This was primarily because the prior year included significant donations for the Vision project.
Expenditure
Expenditure was reduced from last year, falling from £752K to £600k (20%). Costs were cut as a response to the pandemic, but could not be reduced to the same extent as the fall in income.
Net movement in funds
The result was an overall operating deficit of £91k, compared to a surplus of £415k last year (noting that last year included a significant boost with the Vision project income). Investment gains were £6k, taking the overall movement in funds to an £85k deficit.
Considering the challenges faced by the Trust during what was an extraordinary year, the overall result is positive.

Independent Examination Report For the year ended 31 December 2020
4. Qualitative aspects of the charity’s accounting practices and financial reporting
As part of our audit we have considered and reviewed the Charity’s accounting policies with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (“the SORP”), and we have not encountered any material departures. In our opinion the accounting policies selected are appropriate to the circumstances of the charity.
Future accounting changes
The charity’s accounts are prepared in accordance with FRS102. This standard is due to be updated and revised every four to five years in order to ensure that it reflects any legal changes and developments in accounting practice that have taken place.
The Standard at this stage has not been updated for recent changes to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and in particular the following major new standards that have recently been implemented:
-
IFRS9 Financial instruments
-
IFRS15 Revenue from contracts with customers
-
• IFRS16 Leases
Although the long-term aim is to keep FRS102 as closely aligned to IFRS as possible, the FRC has stated that further consideration is required of the changes that may be required, and that this work will not begin until these standards have been fully implemented by IFRS reporters and insight can be gained from their implementation experience. It is therefore unlikely that any changes will be made to FRS102 in respect of these issues that will impact on your reporting for the foreseeable future.
For more information on these future changes please do not hesitate to contact your usual Kreston Reeves adviser.

Lodge Hill Trust
Independent Examination Report For the year ended 31 December 2020
Financial Facilities
Since the balance sheet date adequate financial facilities have continued to be available to the charity and we have no reason to believe that such facilities will be withdrawn within the next twelve months.
Review of going concern basis
We confirm that we have considered the charity’s future operations, working capital requirements and cashflows and we feel that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements for the period under review. Our considerations have covered a period of not less than 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements.
Our consideration has included a thorough assessment of the charity’s ability to continue trading as a going concern in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic uncertainty it has caused, and of Brexit and the end of the Brexit transition period. We have taken appropriate measures, as far as possible based on the information currently available to us, to safeguard the current and future operations of the charity.
In making this assessment we have prepared revised forecasts, cashflows and our disaster planning includes due consideration of coronavirus contingency measures.
All projected cashflows, management accounts and other information and assumptions used in reaching this conclusion have been made available to you for the purposes of your assignment. We confirm that our plans for future actions required to enable the charity to continue as a going concern are feasible.
There are no material uncertainties of which we are aware that cast doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We are of the opinion that the disclosure on going concern in both the trustees’ report and the financial statements is an accurate reflection of the charity’s financial position.
Current economic climate – COVID-19 and Brexit
We confirm that we are aware of our responsibility as trustees to consider, as far as possible with the information currently available to us, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the global economic climate (together ‘COVID-19’) and Brexit and the end of the transition period (together ‘Brexit’), on all aspects of the charity’s financial and narrative reporting.
We confirm that all representations made in this letter include due consideration of these factors. In particular this includes, but is not limited to, the following:
-
Appropriate disclosure has been included in the charity’s narrative reporting regarding the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit on the charity’s performance during the period, our assessment of principal risks and uncertainties and the future activity of the charity;
-
We acknowledge our responsibility in the preparation of the financial statements for making appropriate judgments, estimates and assumptions. We have informed you of the judgements and estimates, including those related to COVID-19 and Brexit, that have had the most significant impact on the financial statements;
-
The financial statements reflect the conditions which existed at the reporting date,
-
to the extent that the spread of COVID-19 was known and government measures were announced, together with its impact on the local and global economic climate; and
-
to the extent that arrangements and agreements had been announced in respect of the UK leaving the European Union.
10
Lodge Hill Trust
Independent Examination Report For the year ended 31 December 2020
-
We have reassessed the value of the charity's investments in light of COVID-19 and Brexit. We confirm that they have not declined in value to an amount less than the carrying value at the reporting date;
-
We have considered whether the charity’s tangible fixed assets have been impaired due to COVID-19 and Brexit. We have also considered whether our estimate of useful economic lives remains appropriate. Our consideration has included a review of the current market value of those assets and their future economic performance;
-
At the reporting date, any additional liabilities arising as a result of COVID-19 and Brexit have been recognised. We have specifically considered whether any additional provision is required in respect of:
-
Doubtful debts;
-
Onerous leases and contracts;
-
Redundancy payments.
Approval of Financial Statements
We confirm that the above representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience and, where appropriate, of inspection of supporting documentation sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can properly make each of the above representations to you.
