YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

¥, A former 18" century water mill, Ormside Mill was opened in 1999 as an activity and “| residential centre for young people. A joint venture between the Lancashire (LABGC) and Manchester Boys & Girls Clubs (GMTR), the centre was established as a registered charity to serve the needs of their member clubs and ‘ oS _ 1 _-young people, especially those considered to be disadvantaged. , _ __ Asmall charity doing big work with young people, the mill has been described as —— - - a ‘little gem’ and a ‘special homely place’. The 18-bed self-catering centre enjoys an q y eae isolated rural location in the beautiful upper Eden Valley of Cumbria.

Ormside Mill is governed by a volunteer board of directors. A full-time centre manager, part time housekeeper and groundsman and a team of self-employed freelance instructors ensure a cost-effective operation which is underpinned by a personal and friendly service.

July to September was a window of opportunity where we managed to provide 11 bookings totalling 32 nights of accommodation to private groups to raise a small amount of income. September onwards again saw closure and cancellations with just one school group in October half term and a group of4 film crew in February 2021.

Cancellations in the year totalled 46 bookings with a total of 126 nights accommodation and 72 activity days.

2020-21 has without a doubt been the most challenging year on record for everyone, and Ormside Mill was not without exception having had its fair share of challenges. Not only were we faced with the damage caused by floods, the situation was exacerbated by the loss of income due to the pandemic lockdown and suspension of all but essential building work. Nevertheless, as restrictions began to be lifted in June we were able to meet with landscapers and in July begin the recovery process.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT AS REQUIRED BY COMPANY LAW) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Private groups started to visit and stay at Ormside Mill from the end of July which gave us some financial reprieve, but this was short lived as from 14th September we had to close once again and didn’t reopen until around May 2021 for private and vulnerable groups, with more generic groups visiting July onwards.

The outdoor education industry across the country and indeed the world has been hugely affected by the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns leading to the closure of all centres to groups. This has had an unprecedented negative impact on yaung people's physical and mental health and the closure of schools, leisure facilities, youth clubs, sports club, outdoor adventure, residential centres, restrictions on social gatherings and travel has left young people confined to their home or their local community, and their personal development inhibited and suppressed. Opportunities for them to express themselves, to develop socially, personally and engage in new experiences and challenge themselves was stripped away and continued until restrictions were lifted. Therefore, it was vital that centres such as Ormside Mill were able to sustain an existence throughout the pandemic ready to cater for the needs of young people as restrictions were lifted and provide that break from confinement with new opportunities and exhilarating experiences young people could participate in safely with their peers.

We have joined forces with similar outdoor education centres across the country in writing an open letter to the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and campaigning to local MP’s in the hope that they would recognise the importance of outdoor education in young people’s positive personal development and support the sector get back on its feet so we could restart providing essential learning experiences for young people.

We are very optimistic for the future and are determined to get through this challenging period and have used the lockdown period to carry out the essential repair work, small improvements around the grounds, and review all our working practices in readiness for when we re-open.

A new groundsman John Bywater was appointed in June 2020 to keep up with maintenance and gardening jobs as the summer crept in. A local resident Caroline Taylor offered voluntary support with gardening and helped with cleaning the Mill as we prepared to re-open in May this year prior to appointing a new housekeeper.

:

The Paddock Bridge has been completely rebuilt, set on two huge stone pillars, raised a further 2 feet, with new treads and steps either side. The new height will ensure it is out of harm’s way and the stone pillars either side will provide a more solid base.

The boardwalk has been removed and the area levelled and reseeded, and the Millrace built up on both sides. The grass is taking hold, but will take a little more time to fully establish.

:

The paddock entrance has had a new concrete base laid which is a vast improvement on the previous base and will fair up to floodwater far better than gravel. This is also far better for vehicles entering the paddock and provides additional hard standing for parking.

The refuse and recycling area has been dug up and a concrete based laid and we had a collection of recycling and wheelie bins donated by Glasdon Group Ltd to provide far better protection from vermin and keep refuse safe and tidy.

We have installed CCTV around the building, which came at the right time with the buildings and grounds being unoccupied for much to the time.

|

Additional emergency lights have been installed throughout the Mill and Barn providing improved lighting at night, and additional storage solutions of shelving units and boxes have been installed in the office store to provide far better storage of bedding and resources that cannot be stored elsewhere.

The installation of a new infrared heater, dehumidifier and timer switch in the drying room allows for a far more effective drying room that operates far more efficiently.

A few leaks in the Mill roof were identified in the autumn period and subsequently had some roof repairs carried out, but in doing so the builders have identified a full section of roof that is unfortunately beyond repair so may need completely renewing. A temporary fix was implemented but this yet again puts us in a position where we have limited funds coming in, but have essential work that needs undertaking. Our first estimate has come in at just over £20,000, but with such a huge sum involved, we are in the process of undertaking an independent building survey to establish the full extent of work that may require undertaking.

The classroom roof has several leaks that cannot be rectified and has been the case over several years and despite best efforts and several different roofers the leaks prevail. This is an ongoing issue and the answer may lie in a full reroofing of that section.

Again to save on energy bills we have installed LED lighting to around 90% of the property with many lights being fitted with PIRs to avoid lights being left on.

Several funding applications were successful to cover the costs of flood damage repairs, grounds development and centre improvements, CCTV, roof repairs, general maintenance, housekeeping essentials new bedding etc, PPE activity kit, tools and equipment, LED lighting.

It is inevitable that such an old country stone building, built circa 1760 will no doubt require ongoing upkeep and repairs and subsequently we will need to continue to generate revenue where we can and raise funds to carry out such repairs.

As such we are sincerely grateful to the trustees of Russell Haldane Trust, Bain Charitable Trust, Sport England, Garfield Weston without whose generosity we would not have been able to carry out the essential work we have and hope you will continue to support our work.

Sport England Flood Grant £494 Russell Haldane Charitable Trust £10,000 Sport England £7,125 Bain Charitable Trust £5,000 Garfield Weston £15,000

Ormside Mill trustees are extremely grateful to our supporters and funders for their generous contribution to our centre.

Funding cuts continue to pose financial and resource challenges which continue to affect the voluntary sector groups who struggle to raise the subsidised fees required to book the centre, therefore the increase in income from external groups allows Ormside to continue to provide subsidised activity to member groups and disadvantaged young people.

:

Fotlowing devastating floods in February which left substantial damage to the paddock, bridge and pond area we were hit by lockdown leaving little hope in generating income to fund repairs. Nevertheless, ardent funding applications have enabled us to rebuild the bridge far stronger than previously.

2020-21 was an extremely challenging year for everyone and Ormside Mill was no exception. Fortunately, we escaped any damaging floods in the autumn winter of 2020/21, but the continued coronavirus lockdown led to a slow start with several bookings having to be cancelled up to June 2021. Nevertheless, the summer has proved very busy with a packed bookings diary with many external private groups helping to generate much needed income for the Mill.

Youth Groups have started to visit toward the end of the summer holiday and continue into the autumn with several bookings already in the diary.

On-going maintenance and repairs is essential for such an old building: e The roof in the Mill still needs attention as does the roof over the classroom e The barn needs quite a bit of pointing as does the Mill in several areas e TheLog Burning Stove in the lounge has been decommissioned and needs replacing along with a flue liner and other repairs to the chimney stack in order to meet current building regulations and needs to be Defra approved. e The Fire Alarm is around 15 years old and is in desperate need of replacement. e The Kitchen, although highly functional could do with an overhaul as it is becoming tired and worn. Flooding from time to time is inevitable, nevertheless we are continually looking at damage limitation and how we can improve our flood defences, to reduce damage, clean up time and energy and safeguard our equipment and resources.

All this and more requires funding that we don’t presently have, so we continue in our efforts to raise funds from external groups when youth groups are not booked in, from corporate engagement and from external charitable trusts and foundations.

We will continue to seek funding to provide residential and adventurous activities for disadvantaged young people attending clubs in the most deprived communities whose club do not have the funds to visit Ormside Mill or the capability of seeking funds for themselves.

----- Start of picture text -----
We have had four new individuals join us in the year with a view to being elected as Trustees;
e Helen Robinson and Emma O'Reilly are two trustee representatives from Manchester (GMTR)
e Craig Cartledge - Chair of Radcliffe Girls & Boys Club
e Keith Gillies - Chair of Bowland Mountain Rescue and previous long-standing chair of the Anderton Centre
in Chorley.
We welcome them all and hope they bring with them the knowledge, skills and experience to support Ormside
Mill develop even further.

The importance of providing residential and learning experiences, especially to disadvantaged young people, remains a high priority for the Ormside Mill board of directors and the need to increase revenue will create a way to allow this.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have considered the need to establish appropriate reserves to resource the operations of the charity. The charity is reliant on the support of funding bodies and other charities to maintain its activities and services to young people and grants received are typically for a limited period or for a restricted purpose.

In light of the rural and isolated location of the premises, the Trustees | recognise that unpredictable circumstances may from time to time — arise resulting in possible loss of income and increased costs. | Reserves are needed to bridge gaps and shortfalls in funding, to meet _ oo thewhencostactivitiesof emergencymay be repairscurtailedandor torestricted.sustain operations over periods ea | The free free reserves at 31st March March 2021 were £55,470 £55,470 (2020: £19,219) Be cave a | ee oat oat after the deduction the deduction deduction of fixed fixed assets and and addition of long-term long-term funding on ;

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these Financial Statements the Trustees are required to:

• « select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

• e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

• « make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• « state whether applicable UK 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 charitable company will continue in operation

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies

Legal form

The charity constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006, incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the charity, the nature of its operations and its principal activities are all detailed in the Trustees’ report and charity administrative details pages in these financial statements.

Basis of accounting

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the note to the accounts and comply with the charity'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 (FRS 102).

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the function currency of the charity.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

During the year there has been an escalation of measures taken within society to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Government-imposed restrictions have resulted in the Charity being unable to conduct its normal charitable activities during the year, and the Trustees have sought to generate income to sustain the Charity through this period of uncertainty and allow for a prompt return to normal upon the easing of restrictions in mid-late 2021. The Trustees' consider the Charity to have sufficient working capital to see it through the coming months and at the time of approving the financial statements, have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

Donations and grants are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled and the amount can be measured with reasonable accuracy. Income from charitable activities and income from trading activities is recognised upon the relevant charitable service being provided and therefore the charity becomes entitled to such funds. Income received relating to future bookings is deferred until that date.

Where grant funding is received for the purchase of capital equipment, the income is recognised when the purchase of those items occurs, in accordance with the terms of the grants.

Government grant income received relates to support received during the COVID-19 pandemic including income under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and support from local councils through short term grant funding. Income is recognised on receipt or entitlement.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Support costs are incurred to directly support the objectives of the charity and are allocated to charitable activities expenditure and raising funds expenditure according to the estimated spread of such costs in any period.

Fixed assets

All fixed assets are recorded initially at cost.

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Freehold land - not depreciated Freehold property and improvements - 2% straight line Equipment, fixtures and fittings - 15-25% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% straight line

Debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable and payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Loans repayable in more than one year are disclosed as such on the basis that such loans were provided for the purpose of acquiring freehold property which is non-current. There is no planned repayment of such loan balances.

Cash and cash equlvalents

Cash held by the charity comprises of cash held on call at banks and cash in hand.

Accumulated funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general activities of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.

Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Financial assets are derecognised when contractual rights are settled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is evidence that the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If impaired, the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2 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 amounts 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 considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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 misstatement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
