The Mill

A former 18[th] century water mill, Ormside Mill opened in 1999 as an activity and residential centre for young people. A joint venture between the Lancashire (LABGC) and Manchester (BGCGM) Boys & Girls Clubs, the centre was established as a registered charity to serve the needs of their member clubs and young people, especially those considered disadvantaged.

A small charity doing big work with young people , the mill has been described as a 8 little gem’ and a 8 special homely place’ . The 19-bed selfcatering centre enjoys an isolated rural location in the beautiful upper Eden Valley of Cumbria.

Ormside Mill is governed by a volunteer board of directors .

Directly managed by LABGC. The team consists of a part time centre manager, housekeeper, groundsman and a team of self-employed freelance instructors who ensure a cost-effective operation, which is underpinned by a personal and friendly service.

Operations

Following a few very difficult years due to the pandemic, the booking calendar for 2022-23 saw the first full year without interuption in getting Ormside Mill back up to full operation.

The vast majority of our member clubs and youth groups were still struggling to make ends meet following the pandemic, which also left in its wake far fewer volunteers and paid staff, and reduced funding for activity provision. The cost

of living crisis also severally impacted on the operational costs of clubs, resulting in reduced delivery time and fewer young people in attendance.

The pandemic, subsequent lockdown, and the cost of living crisis had a devastating impact on young peoples9 engagement in physical activity and their social engagement with peers, leading to many young people experiencing low self-esteem, mental health issues and voluntary social avoidance and isolation.

Never has it been more important to re-engage young people in new opportunities and exciting outdoor experiences in adventureous activities and residential opportunities to raise their selfesteem, develop their social skills and improve their mental health. Despite all the challenges faced, clubs started to return to the Mill with groups of young people.

Whilst member club bookings remained relatively similar to the previous year, we catered for twice as many external youth groups as in the previous year and saw a 20% increase in private bookings. Member clubs continue to struggle to remain financially sustainable, so although residential opportunities remain a vital part of youth provision in young peoples personal development, for many clubs, the cost of such is still out of reach. With this in mind we ensure we keep the cost for member clubs as low as possible, whilst increasing the cost to external groups, especially private groups, which allows us to provide further susidy to member clubs.

Income from groups over the year

Whilst the income from private accommodation bookings is very welcome, we are mindful that we need to increase the usage of Ormside by our member clubs and other youth groups and reduce private bookings, however income from private bookings over the past few years has enabled Ormside Mill to become more financially stable.

There is no doubt from the figures above that adventurous activities are a key part of residential experiences for youth groups and schools. Adventurous activities allow young people the opportunity to push physical boundaries and exceed their percieved limitations often achieving things they never thought possible. This sense of achievement raises self-esteem, increases confidence and paves the way for greater challenges ahead.

Delivery

The centre manager Innes Macdonald, supported by a housekeeper Sue Vaughan (appointed May 2022) and groundsman John Bywater, ensure the centre is kept in tip top condition and operates smoothly on a day to day basis. With activity management responsibility, Innes ensures all activities are delivered to a very high standard and all our PPE and equipmnet is kept in excellent condition to allow us to provide highly memorable, and in many cases life changing, experiences in a safe, controlled environment.

As with most industries the pandemic had a huge impact on training people in outdoor education and many qualifed instructors left the sector to pursue other lines of work. This has left a great shortage of freelance instructors across the country. Despite this, Innes has recruited a small team on freelancers who have become committed to supporting and delivering activities for groups visiting Ormside Mill.

Minibus drivers are also dwindling each year and only a few of our instructors are able to drive our minibus and tow the canoe trailers. This can of course present logistical issues requiring a freelancer who can drive our minibus for groups that don9t have their own bus.

Kit and equipment does not come cheap, but with the increase in income we were able to allocate just over £1,700 for the purchase of new and replacement kit and equipment.

Premises & Grounds

The Mill Roof was completed at the beginning of the year and we were very grateful to receive a grant from Garfield Weston in April toward the cost of this and other work on site.

The classroom roof is still in need of replacement and further funding will be sought to carry out this work.

Dining room furniture sees a lot of traffic and of course spillages and stains. This was recovered during the year making the seating look much better.

It is inevitable that such an old country stone building, built circa 1760 will require ongoing upkeep and repairs and subsequently we will need to continue to generate revenue where we can to raise funds and carry out such repairs.

Just over £2,500 was spent on building materials and supplies over the year to carry out a multitude of minor repairs.

Ormside Mill directors are sincerely grateful to the trustees of Garfield Weston without whose generosity we would not have been able to carry out the essential work on the roof and hope they will continue to support our work.

Earlier this year we appointed a seasonal part time gardner to ensure the garden areas are well maintained and to keep on top of the ever growing greenery around the grounds.

WHY WE EXIST

The Outdoor Education Advisors Panel (OEAP) National Guidance document 2.3a National Curriculum and Learning Outside the Classroom is about the National Curriculum in England .

Learning in the real world outside the classroom, including through outdoor learning, educational visits, residential experiences and adventure activities, is an effective way of meeting the demands of the National Curriculum, and of preparing young people for life beyond school.

Outdoor and adventurous activities, which provide first-hand real challenges, and residential experiences, are a powerful process for supporting personal and social development, character development and resilience, spiritual, moral and cultural development and physical and mental wellbeing, according to the Guidance.

<Learning Outside the Classroom can provide opportunities to develop and practise skills involving communication, collaboration, numeracy, leadership, creativity and innovation.=

WHATS ON OFFER AT ORMSIDE MILL

The Mill offers 19 beds (1 Double) across 7 bedrooms + 2 pop up beds. A large lounge, dining area and a wellequipped large catering kitchen provide ample space for large self-catering groups to enjoy a break in the Eden Valley.

A full range of Adventurous Activities is available to all visiting groups or you can simply self-programme.

With a fleet of 6 Canadian Canoes that can be rafted together we can cater for a group of 18 canoeing in various locations and conditions across Cumbria.

With bespoke expeditions also available, canoeing can be a half-day activity on a local river or a full day journey with islands stops and cliff jumping in the lake district.

The sit-on-top kayaks are enjoyed by many groups who attend Ormside. These are much easier that the standard kayak, less likely to capsize, remove the fear of kayaking and much more fun. Helping to develop balance, co-ordination and team work.

Being able to use the kayaks just 10 minutes from the centre is a great plus.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT AS REQUIRED BY COMPANY LAW) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Ghyll Scrambling proves to be a very popular activity at Ormside Mill. With several venues on offer depending on the age and ability of the group.

We have used Stenkrith Park, Church Beck and Stoney Croft Ghyll throughout the year.

The addition of salopettes help protect wetsuits and prolong their lifespan. Young People thrive in water activities and the initial shock of the cold water is soon overtaken by the thrill and excitement. Supporting each other through difficult sections and encouraging peers to face fears and cliff jump is priceless team work.

Hiking up mountains is the purest adventure activity we offer. Throughout the year, young people summited Blencathra, Murton Pike, High Cup Nick, Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Nine Standards Rigg & Wild Boar Fell. This experience is a massive contrast for many young people who live in dense housing communities and rarely have the opportunity to visit countryside let alone mountain ranges.

Caving has proven to be the height of adventure and the Yorkshire Dales provides some great opportunities to explore the depths of the earth. No matter what time of year or weather conditions caves usually stay a constant 8% centigrade. Walking through narrow passages, crawling and squeezing through tight spots, wading through cave water or entering vast caverns, every corner provides some awesome sights. Young people soon overcome their fear of the dark and have a trip back in time knowing the caves have developed over 10009s of years.

Abseiling is a great activity to fill half a day and easily combined with other activities to make a full day.

We offer three locations for abseiling, and have introduced a new venue in Borrowdale Valley, which is a great addition to a canoe trip or mountain hike. A fantastic opportunity for young people to face and overcome fears, encourage each other and develop trust. Your first Abseil is certainly one to remember.

Climbing is an attractive challenge for young people and Windmore End presents that challenge and is an excellent crag for climbing.

At just 20 minutes from the centre, it is ideally located.

In addition, we have a venue in Borrowdale Valley, which we access alongside other activities. Enabling young people to push themselves and exceed personal limitations.

Archery is enjoyed by all groups who visit the centre and can be carried out on the paddock or in adverse weather can be delivered in the barn.

Investing in an Archery Shelter in the Paddock will enable outdoor Archery in bad weather and a more portable archery set could allow us to take on activities such as canoeing. Great in developing attention and hand to eye co-ordination and uncovering natural ability and skill.

The development of our problem solving and team building guide provides a vast range of team games and challenges that can be provided with or without an instructor. The availability of the team games store cupboard allows groups leaders to run their own on-site programme of team building activities. Great for team bonding developing a competitive attitude, communication, strategy and problem solving.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT AS REQUIRED BY COMPANY LAW) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The tree climbs and high all aboard are an excellent offer of onsite activities. Groups who have a short visit are able to challenge themselves on the 4 different routes. This activity enables young people to overcome fears and put their trust in one another.

Visits from private groups generate much needed revenue to help provide subsidised visits for our member clubs and visits from external 8non-affiliated9 groups continue to provide revenue to support the sustainability of Ormside Mill.

Schools and Colleges, youth clubs, sports clubs and community projects from across the North West, North East and further afield choose Ormside as their preferred venue from which to host their annual residentials. Several repeat bookings from youth groups, schools, colleges and private parties reinforce the fact that Ormside is a great place and loved by all who attend.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT AS REQUIRED BY COMPANY LAW) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Bookings for the Mill are certainly on the rise from our target groups of young people. And feedback from visiting groups is very positive with young people having great experiences and producing lifelong memories. However, there is still work to be done.

We need to increase our offer to our member clubs and where possible reduce the price further especially during less busy times over the winter. We will need to invest around £3,000 on PPE kit and replacement equipment over the coming 12 months.

The inside of the Mill is looking great with new pictures on the walls and we are currently investing in new bedding, mattresses and soft furnishings around the centre to make the centre as cosy and welcoming as possible.

The picture frame at the end of the Paddock has been rebuilt to allow groups to take photos with the magnificent views in the background.

We have recently secured over £2,500 from Glasdon Charitable Group for the purchase of the new lawnmower to enable us to keep on top of the ever-growing paddock.

As mentioned previously, the Mill is old and needs constant 8TLC9 with a never-ending list of jobs to be done and we constantly run the risk of flooding.

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.

The roof in the classroom still needs attention, as does the path around the back of the Mill, the barn needs pointing along with several areas of the Mill.

The Kitchen, although highly functional could do with an overhaul as it is becoming tired and worn.

The continued cost of living crisis is going to present many challenges over the autumn and winter months. Not only for ourselves, but for youth groups operating their clubs. This will of course have an impact on our energy and fuels costs and it will present another reason for groups not to attend Ormside, which would reduce the expected income from bookings.

All this and more requires funding that we don9t currently have, so we continue in our efforts to raise funds from private groups when youth groups are not booked in and from external charitable trusts and foundations.

We will continue to seek funding to provide heavily subsidised residentials and activities for disadvantaged young people in our member clubs, especially where those clubs do not have the funds to visit Ormside Mill or the capability of seeking funds for themselves. However, we are mindful, that the needs of our clubs lie not just in funding, but also in staff capacity, training and the ever-growing issue of access to transport. To this end, we will retain our ability to be able to offer transport to groups and support staffing costs where we can.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT AS REQUIRED BY COMPANY LAW) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

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 pave a way to allow this.

Thanks

We are pleased to acknowledge the efforts of the Ormside Mill staff team which has resulted in the continued delivery of a high quality service and programme which is improving year on year.

We remain most grateful for the many individuals and organisations who supported the work of the Mill throughout the year, either through financial support, donations of resources or 'in kind' contributions. A special mention is appropriate for The Garfield Weston who supported us during this financial year and The Glasdon Charitable Group who supported this year May 2023.

Financial Review

The detailed Financial Statements are set out on pages 18 onwards.

Year End: March 2023 2022 2021
Aggregate expenditure for the year was £91,139 £112,967 £64,663
compared with total income of £129,308 £83,831 £80,778
resulted in a surplus (deficit) of £38,169 (£29,136) £16,115
whilst net working capital increased to £89,704 £43,062 £55,470

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 the cost of emergency repairs and to sustain operations over periods when activities may be curtailed or restricted.

The free reserves at 31st March 2023 were £89,704 (2022 £42,062) after the deduction of fixed assets and addition of long-term funding on the property. The Trustees are pleased with the improvement in free reserves during the year, but acknowledge that further reserves are required to safeguard the charity from any future exceptional expenditure.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

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

The Trustees' consider the Charity to have sufficient working capital to see it through a period of at least 12 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

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 equivalents

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.

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.

ORMSIDE MILL RESIDENTIAL CENTRE LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

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.
