The Mill

A former 18" 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 (GMYF) Greater Manchester Youth Federation, the centre was established as a registered charity to serve the needs of their member clubs and young people, especially those considered disadvantaged.

Operations

After a steady recovery in the years following the pandemic, the 2024—25 booking calendar saw a noticeable downturn in reservations from external youth groups, schools, and private organisations — particularly during the autumn and winter months. Bookings from LABGC groups fell to an all-time low, due in large part to the absence of subsidies or full funding to support their participation.

The post-pandemic impact on young people has been profound. Reduced access to physical activity and
positive social interaction has contributed to declining self-esteem, increased mental health concerns,
and greater levels of voluntary isolation among many young people.

Now more than ever, it is essential to reconnect young people with the transformative power of outdoor adventure — providing opportunities that build confidence, encourage social growth, and support mental wellbeing. While the challenges are considerable, our clubs remained steadfast in their mission to deliver life-changing residential experiences at Ormside Mill, especially for disadvantaged young people who need them most.

In the year the Mill accommodated;

While income from private accommodation bookings is always welcome, our priority remains to increase residential stays by our member clubs and other youth groups, with the aim of gradually reducing reliance on private bookings. That said, we must recognise that, in recent years, revenue from private groups has played a crucial role in helping Ormside Mill achieve greater financial stability.

The figures above clearly show that adventurous activities are a cornerstone of the residential experience for youth groups and schools. These activities offer young people the chance to test their physical abilities, challenge their perceived limits, and often achieve things they never imagined possible. The sense of accomplishment that follows not only boosts self-esteem and confidence in the moment but also lays the foundation for tackling greater challenges in the future..

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.”

Each year, we welcome schools, colleges, youth clubs, sports teams, and community projects from

Each year, Ormside Mill Residential Centre continues to receive extremely positive feedback from visiting groups. Group leaders consistently praise the centre’s unique combination of remoteness and exclusive-use policy, which ensures that there are no outside distractions for young people. This allows each group to remain fully focused on their programme of activities, free from the interruptions that can come with shared venues. The large paddock provides countless opportunities for self-led activities, giving leaders and young | people alike the space to build mutual trust and confidence. In this safe and supportive environment, | young people are encouraged to push personal boundaries, take on new challenges, and develop | stronger peer relationships. | When the weather turns wet, cold, windy, or when evenings draw in, the barn offers a versatile | indoor space for group activities, workshops, and games. Inside the Mill itself, the cosy, homely | atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for bonding experiences, from group challenges and | discussions to informal evening activities. Mealtimes bring the whole group together, with the shared preparation and serving of food fostering teamwork, cooperation, and a sense of community. The dedicated classroom further enhances the experience, offering a flexible space for nature-based learning, map-reading sessions, arts and crafts, and activity planning.

Ormside Mill is valued by a wide variety of groups, including youth organisations, schools, private family gatherings, and social clubs. Across the board, visitors describe it as a warm, welcoming, and comfortable place where people can truly come together.

We remain committed to ongoing improvement. Each year, we invest in regular decorating and maintenance to ensure the buildings remain in excellent condition. We also continue to replace and upgrade equipment as needed, ensuring that our facilities meet the evolving needs of our visitors.

With its unique setting, flexible spaces, and supportive environment, Ormside Mill continues to be a place where groups of all kinds can learn, grow, and make lasting memories.

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 shortfincre a llssed incosts.funding,Reservesto meet thar e costneededof emergencyto bridge repairsgaps and to sustain operations over periods when activities may be curtailed or restricted.

As of 31 March 2025, free reserves totalled £75,997 (2024: £94,449), after deducting fixed assets and adding long-term property funding. The Directors recognise that the decrease is partly attributable to lower bookings during the winter and spring months; however, we remain in a stronger financial position than we were three years ago.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31st March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is South place, 1 Meeting House Lane, Lancaster, LA1 1TQ.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

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

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• e income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• e legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• ° income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• e income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• e expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• ° expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance ofthe charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• e other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property and - 2%straight line improvements Equipment, fixtures and fittings - 15-25% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

4. Limited by guarantee

Every member guarantees, in the event of the charitable company being wound up, while he, she or it remains a member, or within 12 months of he, she or it ceasing to be a member, to contribute £1 towards the cost of dissolution and the liabilities incurred by the charity while the contributor was a member.
