Objectives and Artivities
Summary of the purposes of the charity set out in its governing document
(a) To promote and protect the physical and mental health of disabled people and their
carers without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political or religious or other
opinions by facilitating such persons to have access to the countryside with the objects of
improving the conditions of life of such persons. {b) To promote education and research

Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in
particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts
Open Country is a Yorkshire-based organisation that seeks to enable anyone with any
disability to access and enjoy the countryside. This is achieved through a variety of
countryside activities and the provision of information and advice.
With hubs in Harrogate and Wakefield and our new Teesside hub commencing activity
delivery from April 2025, our hands-on countryside activities are still going strong.

Summary of the purposes of the charity set out in its governing document (Continued)
Our five nature conservation work parties give people with learning disabilities and mental
health issues a chance to get involved in helping improve the environment throughout the
local area. Five walking groups operate throughout the year, with walks ranging from two
to ten miles. There are regular countryside outings to a variety of wheelchair accessible
locations, including nature reserves, the seaside and country houses. We have six tandem
clubs, between them covering Harrogate & Knaresborough, Ripon, Selby, Wakefield,
Wetherby and York. Other groups are 'Wild Things, (nature study groups) and our
'Adventure Clubs, (specialising in outdoor pursuits). 'Wild about Wetherby,, is a project for
Aspire CBC, offering day services to people from the Wetherby area.
Our 'Countryside Advice Service, continues to offer information and advice on aspects of
countryside access for all to a wide range of individuals, statutory agencies and countryside
organisations. We evaluate our activities carefully and there is clear evidence of the
physical and mental benefits to our service users, in the form of improving overall health,
combating social isolation and forming strong and lasting friendships.
We have 19 staff (13 FTE) and 170 dedicated volunteers. We wish to note the superb
contribution made by the latter, for without our volunteers, the activities offered to our
service users would be severely restricted.
Despite the undoubted funding challenges facing our sector, we are continually expanding
the serrfice we offer, offering our skills to a wider community of disabled people and carers.
The trustees conslder that they have comploed with their duties to have due regard to the
public benefit guldance published by the Charity Commission.

Trustees, Annual Report
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held
Reserves are required to bridge the gap between expenditure and income, to cover
unplanned emergency expenditure and to develop new services.
Total funds as at 31 March 2025 amounted to £602.945 (2024: £589,793) of which
£446,564 (2024: £360,789) was unrestricted. However, the unrestricted funds at 31 March
2025 include functional fixed assets (e.g. minibuses and other equipment required for the
Chariws activities) of £146.796 that are essential for the Charity's activities and £33,927 in
a fund designated by the trustees. These are therefore excluded from free reserves.
Therefore, the Charitws reserves freely available to spend at 31 March 2025 were £265,841
(2024.. £236,546).
The Charity seeks to achieve sufficient reserves to cover six months, expenditure on
charitable activities (£290,000) plus the estimated costs of meeting all commitments on a
winding-up of the organisation (£90,000): a total of £380,000. Whilst reserves freely
available to spend increased during the year ended 31 March 2025 at that date free
reserves were significantly below the amount required to meet the trustees, reserves
policy. The charity remains in a good financial position to withstand the challenges posed
through increased costs and the anticipated reduction in new funding streams which has
been borne ovt in the current financial year. As a result, the trustees are budgeting for a
substantial deficit in the financial year ending 31st March 2026, whilst continuing to seek
new funding which is essential to ensure the sustainability of our charitable activities.
The reserves policy is reviewed annually.
