## **Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

The trustees present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

## **REVIEW OF BUSINESS** 

During 2022, as Covid restrictions have eased, life has returned to near normal, with local shows, fell races being held once more. The Team has continued to respond when asked and to receive support from the community, for which the Trustees are extremely grateful. 

During the year the Team has been relatively quiet but has maintained its readiness with regular training to respond when required. 

Towards the end of 2022 we were able to finally complete the purchase of the freehold of our Base at Christian Head from Kirkby Stephen Grammar School. 

Until now the Base has been held on a Ground Lease which was due to expire in 2041, 19 years from now. The acquisition of the freehold secures the future of the Team in Kirkby Stephen at the heart of the Community and further justifies the investment expenditure on our Resilient Project referred to below. 

The Team has received significant support from The Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association (LDSAMRA) who have given the Team several significant payments which have helped meet our day to day running cost. In addition, the LDSAMRA 2020 fund generously helped fund the freehold purchase of our Base. 

Over three weekends in 2022 Westmorland Services supported the Team by allowing forecourt collections at Tebay Services. Their customers donate generously to our work and the totals raised make a large contribution towards our annual running costs. 

Our annual budget is tailored to cover the day to day running costs and investment in the Team's assets and capability. The budgeting process effectively directs our annual business plan. 

The Trustees have had the confidence to spend wisely, backed up by the cash reserve of not less than three years annual essential expenditure which has been maintained over the years to provide for unforeseen costs such as the replacement of a vehicle, or a reduction in charitable donations. 

At the Team's 50th AGM in March 2019 a special project was launched to improve the resilience of the Base in Kirkby Stephen during major incidents, to meet the operational needs of the Team and its ability to support the local community. 

The project has included the installation of a gas fired central heating system, enlargement and refitting of the kitchen, the purchase and installation of a generator with associated work, upgrading of the DoE room to improve its capability as an additional briefing room. 

The project received magnificent support and was fully funded by Christmas 2019. In total we have received donations of £50K, rather more than we had originally targeted, however these extra funds have enabled us to review the appropriateness of our computer installation which has been upgraded. 

Thanks are due to many for their generous support: private individuals, local businesses, land owners, trust funds, charitable foundations and LDSAMRA. With the plan substantially complete, the Base now has the potential to act as control and command facility during major incidents in the North West. 

The Team's financial position is secure and appropriate to our ongoing ability to maintain our team in a position to service the geographical area we serve.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Team Leaders Report 2022** 

Visitor numbers to Cumbria appear to have returned to a similar level of that prior to the Covid outbreak but, despite this, the Team only received 15 calls for assistance, a particularly quiet year. As usual, they were diverse in their nature, although not as much community related as we might typically expect. The Team assisted both Kendal and Penrith Teams, and there continues to be a great deal of work between Teams concerning planning and sharing of information to allow us to operate as safely as possible. 

The use of technology to aid communication between the Team and the statutory Emergency Services continues to develop, with SARCALL, Resilience Direct, and other platforms regularly being used. Airwave, the radio system used by the emergency services, continues to give us direct communications across Cumbria with not only the emergency services, but also all other LDSAMRA Teams. This continues to be an invaluable resource in areas of poor VHF radio or mobile phone coverage. Delays in the introduction of a replacement system mean that we are likely to keep using Airwave for some time, and Cumbria Police have assured LDSAMRA Teams that they will fully support us with the provision of the necessary equipment. With the increase in coverage of 3G and 4G networks, the Team have also adopted the use of VOIP as a means of communication. 

The Team continues to maintained its water rescue capability, and undertake accredited training in first aid, driving and rope work. 

The regular replacement and upgrading of essential equipment has continued. The base resilience project was completed, with the generator and electrical upgrades, and work is well underway upgrading and improving the IT systems. 

After many years of hard work, the Team were able to secure the Freehold of the land on which our base is built, giving us long term security. 

The Team, in common with all others, is funded by voluntary donations and its members continue to work diligently to provide the income necessary to maintain effective round-the-clock readiness. The Team relies heavily on the motorway service station collections we are lucky to have access to and, although the effects of increases in the cost of living are undoubtedly making giving a more difficult choice, the level of donations was similar to previous years. Prudent financial management of the Team over the years has allowed us to accrue reserves held specifically for eventualities such as those we are currently experiencing, and the day to day running of the Team has not been affected. With the prospect of reduced income for the next year or two seeming likely, careful management of expenditure will be high on the committee's agenda. 

We gratefully acknowledge the support and assistance of all those who assist us through the provision of grants or by way of individual donations be they financial or in kind. 

The Team benefits from the support of its 'Friends of the Team' support group.

## **Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

The Team has maintained a sound level of appropriately skilled members. At the close of the year the Team had 25  Full Team members, 2 Operational Support, 3 Support and 6 Inductees in training. 

It is from the voluntary contribution by way of time, skill, experience, and enthusiasm that individual members commit to the team that Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue is able to achieve its aim to provide effective cover, a safety net, for the Upper Eden and Lune valleys that would otherwise be difficult to source quickly from elsewhere. 

That commitment by members is acknowledged with thanks, for it continues to be the foundation of all we do. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 13 March 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

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').

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)).

## **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** 

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year. They are valued at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at 25% on reducing balance in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

## **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.
