Report of the Trustees

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Summary of the main achievements of the charity

Looking back on previous reports to Trustees, I was reminded that 2020 and 2021 were characterised by the difficulties generated by Covid-19 and recovering from those, albeit underpinned by a sense of optimism generated by our faith in God and his provision for us.

On summarising 2022, I feel that the sense of optimism I concluded 2021's report with, has been borne out. This year has indeed been a time of massive holistic growth across the Centre.

This can be observed in terms of developments in site and facilities, activities, products and services, customers, our organisational framework and our staffing structure. Some highlights are set out below.

Site and Facilities: We have constructed an Archery shelter, and an Outdoor classroom. The kitchen in the Old Vicarage, and the Tunnel System have been refurbished. Accessible pathing has been extended. We have a new cross on Cross Meadow . A 'Peace Garden' has been constructed and planted. We have a new minibus. Outstandingly, a new 'High Ropes' tower has been constructed and licensed.

Activities, products and services: Curriculum days and Improving Mental Health Activity days have been designed and marketed. High Ropes practices have been developed and related staff training has been undertaken. 60 bookings were delivered with our Sportily partners, including 'Good Samaritan' activity days.

Customers: In conjunction with our Sportily partners we have increased work with our local community and with 'disadvantaged' young people. We have adapted and developed new courses in response to needs driven by the pandemic. We have developed the diversity of the people visiting the Centre, hosting groups from the Churches of Brazil, China and Africa.

Organisational Framework: There has been a streamlining of staff roles and booking procedures. The Staff Handbook and associated policies was updated. Our Board of Trustees has been strengthened by new Diocesan representatives and the enhanced pool of skills and knowledge that they bring.

Staffing Structure: Through the Government's 'Kickstart' scheme we were able to offer placements to 4 young people. We employed two new instructors and a housekeeper. Despite shortages, we were able to draw on a bank of loyal 'Freelance' instructors. Sportily instructors have delivered faith based 'Value and Exploration' sessions here.

Our general footfall has been back where it was prior to the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic and there are signs that we are anticipating significant growth in 2023 due to the amount of booking enquiries we are receiving and the general demand for outdoor education and wellbeing programmes that the pandemic has generated.

I believe that 2023 should be a year where we focus on consolidation and the quality of delivery. We do have challenges over site maintenance and tidiness. Our Policies and Guidance documents need to be reviewed and updated more systematically. We should consider alternatives/additions to camping. We will progress work on our developing relationship with Sportily, etc. Crucially we must focus our intentions for the future by completing a Strategic Development Plan.

In summary then, during 2022 we have proven ourselves to be an agile organisation, capable of adapting to challenges. We have a conscientious, flexible and skilled staff. Our Trustees are committed, active and have a diverse skill base. This leads to excellent customer feedback and very high retention rates. Generally the Centre is functioning very well.

Most importantly, we continue to base all we do on prayer and on seeking to act in accordance with God's will. We consider that we are carrying out God's work in this place and we thank Him for his blessings and provision.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Throughout the year the Centre has successfully managed the budget for income and expenditure and been blessed with a small surplus of £3,700. It has been a very good year in terms of managing our day to day costs and also receiving exceptional grant income provision. This has enabled us to invest significantly in the site and its facilities for the benefit of young people.

Income: Our trading income was £380,000, the bulk of which comes from charging schools for residential visits and other groups for day visits. It was encouraging to note that our turnover was back up to pre-pandemic levels and that we had increased the proportion of visits that were package deals, as was our aim, to ensure that we continue to deliver the best value for money and keep our operational costs manageable.

We subsidised disadvantaged groups in different ways, including a budget allowance allocated to Sportily, our delivery partners, to use our facilities free of charge for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, improving mental health activity days and families work.

Expenditure: Our biggest costs are salaries, accounting for 50% of expenditure. Buildings and activities are generally in good condition as we have invested heavily from our reserves and grant funding to maintain them.

We have typically begun to see high cost increases creep into our operational costs for electricity, oil, laundry services, catering costs, waste and recycling. These have not been unexpected and we have been able to manage them within the budget thus far. Additional budget allowances are being made going forward as the cost of living crisis is not set to ease in 2023.

Grants: In the past the organisation has been about 90% self-funded and 10% grant funded. 2022 was an exceptional year because we raised £250,000 capital from 12 different grant funders for a High Ropes Course that is now operational. We also received a large grant of £42,250 from the governments Levelling Up fund to help us get back on track after the pandemic.

Sustainability: We have a reasonable reserves policy and generally a good cashflow with a high proportion of forward bookings so we continue to be a viable charity. It is, however, difficult for us to fund staffing for Christian faith-based programmes, supported paid placements for young people, and subsidise improving mental health day visits as these do not entirely pay for themselves, so we continue to seek additional sources of funding for these activities.

Future Plans: We are experiencing unprecedented growth and a high demand for our programmes in 2023/24. We do need to increase accommodation capacity to this end, for which capital funding will be needed. We are therefore beginning a process of seeking Expressions of Interest from various Funders.

The Trustees would like to extend particular thanks to the following organisations who provided grants and donations towards our work in 2022. These donations have made a huge difference to investing in our activities and accommodation onsite.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 Company 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 your charity's accounts as 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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: 10% / 25% / 33% straight line method

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Designated Funds - Subclassification of the Unrestricted Fund

The aim of the Charity is to hold sufficient reserves to allow the Centre to continue as a going concern for a minimum period of six month's should there be no income stream, such as from the events in 2001 when an outbreak of foot and mouth disease forced many parts of the Forest of Dean to be closed off. It is the policy of the Trustees therefore to hold minimum reserves of £100,000 (equivalent of six months management and administration cost). Further, the Trustees have designated a further £30,000 to be held for emergency building repairs. As such, £130,000 of cash held is designated for these two reasons, controllable at the discretion of the Trustees.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

In addition to offering a defined contribution pension scheme under NEST, The Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.

The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.

Pension Builder Scheme

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes.

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Bonuses may also be declared, depending upon the investment returns and other factors.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members' Normal Pension Age.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable (2022: £3,916, 2021: £4,060).

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS - continued

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2019. A valuation is due to be carried out as at 31 December 2022 and is expected to be completed in early 2024.

For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £11.3m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, The Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre could become responsible for paying a share of that employer's pension liabilities.
