DERBY MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019).ˮ
Objectives and activities
The objectives of Derby Mountain Rescue Team are 'to save lives and alleviate distress, primarily in upland and mountainous areas' in conjunction with other organisations having similar objectives.
Derby Mountain Rescue Team (DMRT) operates within the southern part of the UK's Peak District National Park as well as surrounding rural and urban areas within Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
The Team's history can be traced back to a tragic event in March 1964 when three Rover Scouts died during a race walk called the 4 Inns, whilst crossing Bleaklow Moor in the Peak District. All three died as a result of hypothermia, one barely a quarter of a mile from the road.
At this time rescues were organised on an ad-hoc basis and often with locals and the Police making their best efforts in difficult situations with minimal gear. DMRT was formed as a direct result of the 4 Inns tragedy and originally consisted of members of the 51st Derby (St Lukes) Rover Scouts who were keen on walking and climbing. The Team remains closely involved with the Scout Association to this day and is Operational throughout the 4 Inns walk, which remains a popular annual event.
Whilst the team primarily work for the Derbyshire Constabulary it is also called to assist the East Midlands Ambulance Service and West Midlands Ambulance Service. This also means it works frequently with the Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland Air Ambulance, the West Midlands Air Ambulance and the UK Search and Rescue Helicopters.
Due to the large number of outdoor activities carried out within the area, coupled with the high number of visitors/ participants, DMRT is a busy mountain rescue team. On average the team is called out 50 times per annum and in 2021 this number was 79 which is significantly above every week and the highest ever number in a year so far.
These incidents have occurred whilst people have been partaking in a variety of outdoor activities including walking, climbing, fell running, mountain biking, horse riding, quad biking, and paragliding.
The team also assist the police in incidents where their skills can be utilised in rural areas as well as green spaces within urban locations such as parks, rivers and woodlands. These predominantly involve searching for vulnerable people that have gone missing for various reasons and where this disappearance has caused concern.
These various types of incident demonstrate that the team plays a critical role in supporting the breadth of the local community.
DMRT also has a substantial water section trained to the same recognised national standards as the fire service. This water section provides swift water and flood rescue services both locally and on a national basis when required. The team were engaged at a national level in the major flood rescue operations in Carlisle during December 2015 and again in York in January 2016. At the Toddbrook Reservoir incident that threatened the town of Whaley Bridge in 2019 the team took a leading role in supporting activities on the ground as well as contributing to the strategic and tactical command of the incident.
During 2020 the team’s water capability was officially registered on the DEFRA asset register and can now be mobilised in a coordinated manner by DEFRA in response to any major flooding incidents. During particularly severe or prolonged periods of snow the team has assisted both Staffordshire and Derbyshire residents when the roads have been problematic for the professional emergency services. In addition to this the team helps transport community nurses to remote areas ensuring they can continue their patient care during these periods of poor weather.

DERBY MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
As with all other UK teams, the team is made up entirely of volunteers who come from all walks of life and give up their time freely. We have 58 operational members on the call out list as of the end of 2021.
Team members train on a regular basis to refresh and improve on old skills as well as learning new ones. These include advanced first aid/casualty care, rope rescue, search techniques, radio procedure, water safety, stretcher handling and equipment familiarisation.
The team recently calculated that inany given year team members volunteer over 8000 hours in time for training and call outs as well as additional time spent on administration and fundraising.
Apart from being able to reclaim VAT & Gift Aid, DMRT receives no central funding from government and relies entirely on donations to raise the money needed to run the team.
All funds raised are used to improve the services provided to the public by investing in replacement medical consumables, equipment maintenance and renewal, training and equipment for members, running the two 4x4 response vehicles and one Mercedes Sprinter search control vehicle; as well as planning for a secure financial future for the team.
The majority of funds are raised through the hard work of team members and the valued supporters group. The team attends several local shows, and carries out a number of collections in the local area.
Team members give presentations to many organisations, including local scout groups, schools, local WI groups, Rotary organisations and rambling clubs as well as radio and television raising awareness of mountain rescue and safety across all ages. Rescue cover is also provided for several local events, including the four inns event run by the scouts.
Team members attend a number of specialist training courses including:
-
Fall protection equipment maintenance
-
Party Leader Training
-
Module 2 and Module 3 Swift water and flood rescue courses
-
Search manager
-
SARMAN Software Training for use in Search Planning
-
Avalanche awareness course
The ability to undertake these activities and training has again been severely impacted during 2021 as a result of Covid-19 and many local events have been cancelled.
Following a significant reduction in income during 2020 as a result of the inability to undertake its usual fundraising events (70% reduction in event income), despite restrictions continuing to persist into 2021, the team’s income stream has recovered in 2021. As in 2020, callouts increased significantly from an average of just over 50 per annum to 79 during 2021. This increase reflects the increased level of outdoor activity being undertaken during Covid-19 pandemic.
The team has maintained training on a reduced basis following government guidelines and has adapted its operating procedures to protect both team members and casualties. The team managed to secure several grants and has carefully managed operating expenditure resulting in an operating surplus for the period. This is a superb result given the difficult conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic and is testament to the dedication of the management team and team members.

DERBY MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial review and future plans
The team had a good fundraising year in 2021 despite the Covid-19 pandemic thanks to some generous donations from various benefactors with an income of £120k compared with expenditure of just over £72k. This resulted in a net surplus of £47k (2020: £22k). This surplus will enable a significant portion of cash to be allocated to the new base fund to allow the project to progress in 2022. This is an essential project to secure the future of the team and its role in serving the local community (further details below).
The team works very hard to keep costs to a minimum. The priority is ensuring that fundraising covers the core running costs:
-
Insurance, fuel, phone calls, text services to call the team out to incidents
-
Medical consumables, bandages, drugs, oxygen masks, entonox mouthpieces, splints and neck supports;
-
Replacement of damaged and time expired items such as ropes, slings, karabiners, stretchers, bags, and dry suits.
-
Team member training and PPE
In addition to this it is imperative that the team is able to designate funds to replace more significant items such as waterproof jackets, helmets, radios and vehicles. During 2021 the team spent £30k to replace the radios to a new digital system in order to modernize our technology in this area along with £4k on new waterproof jackets for the team.
The team is very grateful for all the donations it receives; they are all used to fund the service it provides and investment for the future. As a voluntary organisation all funds raised contribute directly to helping to rescue people.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between eighteen and twenty four month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, the charity’s current activities and the services it provides will continue while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Following a financial review to maintain an unrestricted general fund in line with end of 2020, the following funds have been designated in 2021:
| Balance at | Funds transferred | Funds expended | Balance at | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| start of year | during period | during period | end of year | |
| New Base | £331,827 | £52,000 | £ - | £383,827 |

DERBY MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Funds have been designated during 2021 to increase the balance in replacing the three vehicles in future, with the remainder being allocated to the new base.
The team is raising funds to build an operational base to secure its future. future. The current base is occupied under a new lease granted by Severn Trent on negotiated terms, with rental payments included in the accounts. However, it is prone to flooding. A piece of land in Mackworth on the outskirts of Derby has been purchased and planning permission has been approved for the erection of a purpose built base and training facility. The build estimate is £550k and the team is working hard to fundraise for this project as well as assessing the suitability of potential grants that might also contribute. There is a total of £407k in designated funds and restricted funds allocated to this project of which £119k relates the land cost and capitalised work undertaken thus far. As such there is £288k in cash available for this project resulting in a fundraising target of £262k. Although the team is hoping to begin construction in 2022 by completing the groundwork's and erecting the steel building, fundraising for this project is a key focus for 2022.
The trustees continually assess the risks to which the charity is exposed and take action as required to mitigate these risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Derby Mountain Rescue Team is a private company, limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Ashbourne Road, Mackworth, Derby, DE22 4NB.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives.
Freehold land Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles
not depreciated
straight-line over ten years.
straight-line over the lower of ten years or the useful economic life of the asset
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the Statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
1.9 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Cash at bank and in hand is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Basic financial liabilities
Accruals are measured at amortised cost.
1.10 Donated voluntary services
The value of any voluntary services donated by general volunteers is not included in the accounts.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
There are no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimates) which have had an effect on the accounts recognised in the financial statements.
