2. Chairman’s Introduction
I just wanted to say few words about the past year, I don’t intend going through all the reports, they are in the agenda for you all to read.
As I said in my report, I was looking forward to a good year for 2020 with getting the roof repaired and the prospect of purchasing our own base and therefore securing our future. Then came COVID-19 which completely changed the way we operated from the use of PPE, social distancing, cleaning down vehicles and equipment after each use, to online meetings and training. Our training officer and others running training sessions had to become very creative at putting together effective sessions. We initially thought it would last for a few months but how wrong we were, there is still no real end in sight.
Even with COVID, it has not stopped our leadership team from reviewing and implementing various improvements in the way we operate. For details of these, please see the individual reports. Our fund raisers did a great job again getting us the money to buy new and additional equipment including a trailer to carry our water kit.
In closing, I would like to thank all members of the Exec, appointed officers, assistants and all team members and their families for their support over the past year.

3.1. Chairman’s Report
I was looking forward to a good year for 2020. We were starting off the year with getting the roof repaired and looking forward to the prospect of being able to purchase our base which would secure our future.
So, things were looking good, then along came COVID-19 which put a black cloud over the whole year. As you know, it changed completely the way we operated. When we started running exec meetings and team meetings online, I said we would have to operate that way for the near future, little realising we would still be working the same way at the end of the year with no end in sight.
Last year we had an increase in the number of callouts, due, in the main, to the increase in the number of inexperienced walkers who were out during lockdown. These were dealt with brilliantly by all the team members following the PPE protocols and following the guidance for kit and vehicle decontamination.
There was a lot of good work with fundraising last year, noteworthy highlights were the water trailer, new hill party kits, search torches, third stretcher for mobile 3.
With the purchase of the third vehicle, we were able to put this into service helping to deploy team members to Moorgate. It also developed a secondary role in ferrying casualty parties back to Edale and collecting team members and kit from the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, a big thank you to those volunteer drivers.
We didn’t manage to secure the building purchase by the end of the year due to the complex nature of the purchase. We are very close and expect to complete shortly. A lot of this is due to the work carried out by Amanda, we would have struggled without it.
I would like to thank all members of the Exec for their support, all team officers and the others who assist with all those important jobs that need doing, without whose help we would not have such a successful team.
I would also like to thank all team members and their families for their support, this was evidenced by the great turn out we had for the callout on Christmas Day.
Update March 2021 . We have now secured the purchase of our base.

3.2. Team Leader’s Report
In my 1[st] year as Team Leader my achievements have been;
-
Leading the team operationally throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, which has seen us having to train primarily remotely and carry out callouts with the additional difficulties of social distancing, PPE, decontamination and team members having to isolate.
-
Leading the team on our primary purpose, the searching for and rescuing of those in need. We have been involved in the rescue of 39 people and called out on searches over 20 times resulting in us helping to locate and safely escort 59 people who were lost or missing. We have also dealt with a number of fatalities and seen our specialist water team on standby.
-
Instigating monthly Operational Group meetings with my Deputies, to review all aspects of the team operationally and to deal with feedback from debriefs. The Training Officer, Casualty Care Officer, Equipment Officer and Rope Rescue Officer have all attended as appropriate.
-
Guiding and supporting my two Deputies in the projects they have carried out and the hard work they have put in to keeping the team operational.
-
Working with the Training Officer to help him through a very difficult year with substantial changes and pressures as to how the team could train during the pandemic and lockdowns.
-
Supporting the Casualty Care Officer to ensure the team remains highly regarded and very competent with its standard of casualty care.
-
Supporting the Communications/IT Officer to ensure this increasingly important aspect of the team works effectively on all callouts.
-
Leading the drive to better utilise SARCALL to record decision making, which has included training for the Assistant Leaders and Operational Support Group.
-
Guiding and supporting the new Equipment Officer to ensure the team is adequately and appropriately equipped on all callouts.
-
Instigated the Equipment Officer’s review of the recommended personal kit that team members carry.
-
Appointing a new Water Rescue Officer and supporting him in taking this specialist area of the team forward.
-
Appointing a new Rope Rescue Officer and supporting him in taking this technical aspect of the team forward.
-
Strengthening the Assistant Leaders Group with a new member and guiding them to support the Team Leader and Deputies, including training opportunities.
-
Identifying a group of potential future Assistant Leaders and providing them with training and opportunities to develop.
-
Creating the role of Wellbeing Officer, with an appointment to support the Team Leader in looking after the wellbeing of team members.
-
Representing the team at operational meetings – PDMRO Operational Management Group, Derbyshire Emergency Services Liaison Group and the Greater Manchester Emergency Services Liaison Group.
-
Building relationships with other Team Leaders, particularly our neighbouring teams Glossop and Buxton.
-
Contributing to the team executive and supporting the non-operational executive officers – Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.
In what has been a very unusual year for the team I have had fabulous support from all areas of the team in ensuring that we have done what we do best – searching for those lost or missing, and rescuing those injured. My thanks to all team members is not simply from me, but also on behalf of all those people that we have all helped. Thank you.

3.4. Training Officer’s Report
What a year 2020 and early 2021 turned out to be. It certainly brought a new dimension to the challenges that training already faced within Mountain Rescue England & Wales (MRE&W). I am very grateful to all those members who have assisted in coordinating, helping present and instruct on all the team training throughout the last 12 months especially as we have adapted to a variety of ‘on-line’ presentations. Normally I would single out individuals for their specific help, however this year it is the majority of the team, as everyone has played a part in ensuring that training continued to be successful throughout the pandemic restrictions. Thank you all again, teamwork at its best in challenging times.
2020 was expected to be a challenging year, but not in the way it turned out. The COVID19 pandemic has had a huge impact on all levels of training and is still a continuing significant risk. 2021/2022 is going to be the challenging period particularly as we hopefully catch up on missed face to face training and look ahead with the next probationary intake.
One of the main training aims for 2020 was to progress core rope skills, developing the Level 1, 2 and 3 competency criteria. Thank you to all those who have continued to develop this. As a result, we are in a stronger place now than we have been for a number of years.
The casualty care program has continued (albeit as webinar sessions) throughout the pandemic allowing MRE&W Casualty Care competencies to be maintained. Thank you to all those who have assisted and delivered the training especially as the team Doctors, Paramedics and technicians have been heavily involved with their day jobs.
‘Water Rescue’ will be high on the training agenda for a lot of teams throughout 2021/2022 and Kinder MRT is no exception. The team has a number of Water 1st Responders (MOD2) & Swiftwater Rescue Technicians (MOD3) and the aim for 2021 is to continue to build on the recent sessions that have proved positive in all manner from deployment, teamwork and overall capability in line with MRE&W/DEFRA framework. Thank you to all involved in achieving this.
Search and Rescue Helicopter (SAR-H) training priorities are being developed by MRE&W and Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) to allow more interactive, safe, realistic exercises with the aircrews. Things were progressively moving forward within the PDMRO; which saw the emergence of ‘exercise scenarios’ ahead of other regions rather than just holding ‘familiarisation’ sessions. Then came COVID19 and new Standard Operating Procedures, guidance from MRE&W/MCA which abruptly ended this pathway. At present all live training remains suspended and under constant review. Stage 1A and its annual on-line recertification is mandatory. As a team we remain 100% compliant. The UKSAR2G bid for the next generation of SAR-H provider will see additional changes to future SAR-H training?
“Train Hard, Rescue Easy'' was a phrase and philosophy that many used to sum up training. With the increased member expectations and ever growing need to cover more specialist topics, which in itself added to the amount of time volunteers were committing to Mountain Rescue, “Train Smart'' evolved as the training philosophy. Over the last few years and especially throughout the COVID19 pandemic this could not be more true. The need and emphasis to train and maintain ‘Essential Core Skills’ was thrown to the forefront of all training across MRE&W. New ‘online’ methods quickly developed along with the need to devise and maintain coherent recording systems (including COVID19 Track and Trace) with a growing acceptance of ‘Continued Professional Development’ qualifications becoming a training criteria as MRE&W evolves.
The COVID19 pandemic does not appear to have had the impact on ‘skill fade’ as many originally anticipated. In part this must be credited to the continued development of the online learning and small group cohorts that were operated throughout 2020 as and when training guidance allowed. The emphasis on physical core/specialist training remains for the foreseeable future; Ropework, Water Rescue and Basic Life Support (BLS). Other topics are slowly coming back into training conversations such as Search Management, Driver, Helicopter, Fall Protection Equipment, Party Leader, Probationer, Foundation and Inter-Agency; but some are still many months away from being reality.
One of the main concerns as we come out of the pandemic lockdown period is “Fitness Fatigue”. Long gone are the days of ‘exercises’ that push members both mentally and physically. Technology in general has eliminated the necessity for much of the ‘search slogging about’, while advances in equipment has reduced the weight of kit carried. The current ‘smart training’ methods have proved effective for teaching and their learning outcome and as a voluntary organisation that is expected to cover a wide operational capability. This has to be a good thing. The
Page 5 of 15
drawback however, is members rarely get to experience and prepare for the dangerous, physical and endurance expectations of a real rescue through a training scenario. I hope future sessions will allow for this type of training to return because these are still essential training opportunities that benefit everyone and should not be neglected if we are to maintain an effective emergency service.
During 2020 MRE&W undertook a wide ranging review of ‘Training Duty of Care and Governance’. As a member of the working group, I can definitely say this has been a worthwhile, often a thought provoking process for all involved (from all MRE&W regions). The results are expected to be presented to the MRE&W Training Officers later in 2021. It was nice and encouraging to see the feedback from all PDMRO teams being very positive.
There has been no inter-team regional or national training as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. Plans are in place to slowly reintroduce these later in 2021, but to what level is still under discussion as the pandemic situation continues to present challenges.
Currently Kinder MRT has over twenty aspirant applicants on the waiting list all hoping to be added to the next ‘Probationer Cadre’ later in the year. It is hoped that with the easing of the pandemic restrictions, the selection process and their journey of becoming hill members can resume over the coming months.
Finally just to say thank you to the whole team and their families for their continued support. Let’s hope the future continues to improve and we can develop even more challenging face to face training.

3.5. Casualty Care Officer’s Report
2021 has clearly been dominated by the Coronavirus pandemic, which has changed all aspects of casualty care. Despite this, the team has had a proactive year on the casualty care front – with several important targets being achieved.
Most importantly, COVID has changed our clinical practice. We have had to adapt to new PPE, new BLS protocols and rethink the way we manage the casualty site. This has been a challenge, but the team has risen to the challenge and exceeded my expectations. Many people have helped with development and adoption of COVID protocols – but I’d like to thank the Ops group, and in particular Dave Eustace for leading our efforts.
Casualty care training has also been affected – and we have all had to get used to on-line training sessions. I feel that we have made the best of the situation and have continued to develop. I hope that the team feel we have had some useful sessions. Thanks to everyone who has enabled the video platform, to Phil Ridley for his administrative efforts and to Adi Taylor and Claire Robertson for their input running sessions. I look forward to getting back to face to face and hands on casualty care training in 2021.
I am very pleased that I finally managed to write a lifting and handling policy this year - which has been accepted by the Exec and Ops group. I am also pleased to see the team taking a more proactive approach to lifting and handling on the hill and I strongly believe we are improving the safety of our operation and are reducing the risk of team members experiencing injuries. Once we are back to “face to face” training, we plan to invite a physio to come and watch what we do and see if anything else can be done to further reduce risks. Thanks to everyone who read and contributed to the policy – and particularly to Rich Johnson for his ongoing support
In a related issue, you will be aware that we have been trying to change our hill party casualty care bags, and cylinder bags for some time. We are now in possession of new lighter and more compact oxygen cylinder bags which can be strapped to a rucksack. Our hunt for appropriate hill party bags has been harder – and we have recently cancelled an order for 8 Thomas Bags which was unfulfilled for almost 6 months. I think that this is a timely opportunity however, and I have joined Rich in his review of hill party bags as a whole, in order that we can have a unified system for carrying kit. We expect to progress relatively quickly with this in the first half of 2021.
Another item on my “to-do” list was completed in early 2021 with the introduction of our KMRT “Field Guide”. This is a really useful resource, which give us access to up to date casualty care information on the hill. Drug details, physiological variables and some of the scoring systems are now easily to hand on our mobile phones. This could not have been achieved without the support and technical expertise of Alan Howarth, and the many hours of work by Adrian Didcote who has really led on the project and developed a really great end product. Many thanks to both Adrian and Alan.
The final development I would like to mention is the changes to our drug kit sign-out and sign-in procedures – which are now much more robust. Thanks to Jim Harries for gently nudging me to get it done and for his admin support.
Cascare Exams have taken a back seat during the pandemic. Certificates which were due to expire in early 2021 have been extended until summer, but I am aware that we will need to crack on with some exam-based training and hold an exam as soon as we can in 2021.
It has been a difficult year for anyone working in the health service. Each wave of coronavirus has brought with it, long hours and stressful working conditions. I would like to thank Dan, Ryan, Mick and Claire for the hours they have been able to give to the team despite the pressures of work. Fingers crossed we are all in the final straight.
Finally, I would like to thank Vinny Farrell. I nominated Vinny for the Brasso award this year – as he has been a real stalwart in the last 12 months. Whether it is helping with BLS training, swapping oxygen cylinders, picking up supplies or collecting splints from the hospital – nothing has been too much trouble. Thankyou Vinny.
In summary then, a difficult year but one that has been surprisingly productive thanks to the efforts of the team as a whole. Let’s hope that the next 12 months sees a return to some sort of normality - the sooner the better !!

3.6. Communications Officer’s Report
As I reflect on my 4 year tenure as Comms and IT Officer the first thing that I would like to do is thank the rest of the Exec for their help and support through that period. I’d only been a full team member for 18 months when I took on this role so I had a lot to learn about the way the Exec side of the team worked, and I definitely had a lot to learn about how comms worked! There have been many significant changes in the way the team uses both comms and IT through the last 4 years, but I have always felt supported and able to ask for assistance and guidance where required.
I would also like to thank the rest of the team for their patience through all the various changes that we have made. I do think that we are in a better place now than we were when I started in role, and I hope you can all see the value in the changes that have been made.
Whilst on this point, it would be remiss of me not to mention John Halstead (PDMRO Comms Officer) and Mick Blood from Edale team who have been the driving force behind the PDMRO repeater network. We certainly would not be where we are in terms of digital comms without their vision and Mick’s hard work and technical advice.
I wish the incoming Comms Officer all the best in the role. It is not always easy holding an Exec position, but in order for us all to do what we signed up for: getting out there and helping people, someone has got to do it. So, my utmost respect for Adrian and Karl for both putting their names in the hat.
My final point before I summarise the activity through the year is one that I am sure will be echoed in other officers’ reports: there is a huge amount of activity that goes on behind the scenes to keep everything ticking over, so thank you to everyone that does that little bit extra to make things easier for everybody else.
Comms
-
Hytera radio purchased and installed in Mobile 3.
-
A non-urgent radio reprogramming was rolled out that adds radio tracking when operating on PDMRO net. Due to the difficulties in getting people in the same place at the same time this process is ongoing…
-
PDMRO are exploring the use of POC (push to talk over cellular) as a possible replacement for Airwave. The KMRT position is that there is no need to pay for an additional standalone product while Airwave is still in use by the statutory services, and is free to the team.
IT
-
COVID restrictions meant that all meetings and a lot of training has had to move online using Google Meet. Thanks to everyone for embracing that change and keeping the team operational throughout.
-
Team members given the option of receiving callout messages by email as well as SMS.
-
After much back and forth with PDMRO and MREW regarding the use of personal team email addresses MREW eventually mandated the change. These email addresses have now been rolled out using Google Workspace. Off the back of that the team has moved to using Google Drive for all team data. Again, thanks to everyone for their continued patience through what is a major change.
-
Security concerns meant that we put a hold on the use of SARMAN. After evaluating a number of options, it is likely that MRMap will become the permanent replacement for search planning, but the Ops Group are taking the lead on that project.
-
The hard drive on Base PC 1 failed and was rebuilt. There is now a backup schedule in place. (Horses and stable doors, and all that…)
-
SARCALL released a mobile app that is available for all team members. The ‘locate’ feature I think is especially useful when you’re in a hurry responding to a remote RV.
-
Base and remote RV printers have both been made operational again. Thanks to Jim for his help.

Tracking
-
There was an issue with Mapyx renewing the SPOT tracker subscription, so we have now cancelled with them and taken out our own subscription directly with SPOT. This has provided a cost saving to the team and gives us admin full control.
-
SPOT will now send a text message to the Ops Group if the ‘help’ button is pressed.
Website
Thanks to Matt for taking the lead on all of the below.
-
SSL certificate installed for additional security.
-
Web shop added to the website to streamline the neck wrap orders.

3.7. Equipment Officer’s Report
On 23[rd] March last year 2020 Boris told us all to stay home and some, me included, with initially no work to do, started counting lockdown days and wondering what we would do to fill our time. Then on 27[th] March I was appointed Equipment Officer (EO) at the AGM, so firstly, thanks to everyone who voted for me and has inadvertently helped keep me occupied and entertained during the pandemic.
During the first few months of the year equipment ordered before my appointment was received. This included the grant funded personal water rescue kit, and the new vacuum mattress and casualty bag provided free of charge by MREW.
Purchases during the year included more water kit (almost entirely grant funded), new hill party sleeping bags and shelters (grant funded), new hand torches for all members (grant funded), 4 x Petzl Maestro descenders, replacement rope rescue kit as required, and a new Bell stretcher, with bridles and slings.
Total expenditure during the year, including water kit ordered before I was appointed totals approximately £14500 on water kit and £9500 on hill kit. These figures include VAT, but exclude kit for comms, vehicles and cas care which are dealt with by others.
Grant funding has covered over 50% of the cost of kit purchased this year, so thanks to everyone who has helped identify and apply for grants.
Due to Covid, some kit was delivered direct to James (Rope Rescue Officer) and Dan (Water Equipment Officer) who checked and entered new kit on D4H. They also arranged inspections of rope and water kit respectively, and the 6 monthly Fall Protection Equipment (FPE) inspections. Water kit was last inspected in November, and Rope kit in Feb. Thanks for your help guys.
Procedures were put in place to ensure that after any kit was used it was cleaned and decontaminated before being used again.
When Covid restrictions allow, the Training Officer will arrange FPE Inspection courses, and I would be grateful if a number of people volunteered to attend, as when it comes to the 6 monthly checks more hands make less work. We have also started using a D4H app to record the inspection results which has made the process easier and quicker. Thanks to all those who have helped with FPE inspections during the year.
If following a call out or training, any member is aware that kit is damaged, missing, or that single use kit has been used, please put a clear note on the white board in the garage or the fire station confirming the issue, your name and date, and a “Not to be used” clip on the effected equipment, hill party bag etc.
Research by the MREW Medical Officer highlighted that the risk of personal injury in Mountain Rescue is higher than the highest risk occupations, such as agricultural work. The most common cause of injury in MR is lifting and manual handling. Partly in response to this research a Lifting and Manual Handling Policy was introduced, and a review is ongoing with the aim of improving our lifting and manual handling practices to minimise risk to members where possible. Issues include;
Stretchers are the heaviest item we lift and carry. Using the wheel with the stretcher (to take a significant proportion of the load) is now our default approach, not just when evacuating a casualty, but also for transporting the stretcher to the casualty site.
A review group considered best practice when using the stretcher wheel, and the results were shared with the team during the September training exercise next to the dam.
Members now appreciate the benefits of using the wheel, but the general opinion seems to be that the Lyon Universal wheel is over complicated, heavy and flexible in use, and that the SAR wheel is better in all these respects. To try address these issues, we met a local steel fabricator who kindly offered to fabricate a wheel assembly in mild steel, which we could then use to obtain quotes for it to be fabricated in lightweight aluminium. We will meet again and progress this as soon as Covid restrictions allow.
At times stretcher carrying is unavoidable, we are now considering how our lifting and manual handling practices might be improved. We had planned to meet with Mike Hunter of Hayfield Physios in January who
Page 10 of 15
has offered to help, and this will be progressed as Covid restrictions allow and advice will be fed back to the team.
Shelters and sleeping bags replaced to reduce the weight of hill party kits.
The personal kit list has been reviewed and its clear we carry significantly more than other teams. The main changes to the personal kit list were explained at the February team meeting and the Team Leader encouraged all members to review and reduce what we carry, and to use smaller rucksacs.
The “bigger picture” and primary aim regarding kit is to find a solution for carrying personal and team kit together as safely and efficiently as possible to minimise lifting and manual handling issues. The review is ongoing.
Thanks to everyone that has helped me during the year, but particularly to Jim for guiding me around the various IT systems and his general support, and Vinny for checking and putting things away after call outs.

3.8. Treasurer’s Report
The team has had a successful financial year, perhaps surprisingly given the potential difficulties following from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Provisionally, income for the year was £70,961.74 (about £7,000 more than last year) and expenditure was £75,617.14. So we have made a loss of £4,655 over the year but, as explained below, we have increased our capital assets by considerably more than that value. The balance of funds at the end of the year was £142,487.74. This is £52,487.74 over our reserve of £90,000, which ensures we retain sufficient funds to cover one year’s running costs and any uninsured events that would severely impact our operational capability.
We have policies in place for Financial Controls and Financial Governance. These are reviewed annually to ensure the trustees meet their obligations for responsible management of KMRT’s financial resources and that KMRT finances are managed in accordance with UK regulations governing charities and companies. We have buildings and contents insurance in place which also includes off-site cover for the more costly equipment under an all-risks schedule.
Of course COVID-19 has had an impact on all our activities. Financially it meant that many of our normal fundraising events could not take place, and that most of the locations holding our collection boxes were closed for much of the year. Of course, our expenditure has not gone down, indeed we have incurred extra costs in a number of areas (e.g. to purchase extra PPE and disinfecting materials). At the beginning of the year we looked forward and anticipated a possible loss income of over £10k as a result. That we have had a good financial year is tribute to the great efforts of the fundraising team, Pete and Amanda, who have identified and successfully chased a number of lucrative sources of grants and funding, and to all members the team and our wonderful supporters who have rallied round and supported us through a number of imaginative fund-raising activities. The various initiatives through JustGiving have raised us over £21,000 this year.
On top of all that we are now proud owners of our own base premises, at the total cost of £12,000 (including solicitor’s fees) and we have also expanded the mobile fleet with the purchase of Mobile 3 (£15,000). Other major items of expenditure included £8,000 on upgrading the water rescue equipment (funded through a Department of Transport grant), £4,953 on mending the roof, £3,000 on upgrading the hill party kit with newer and lighter weight replacements (part funded by the PostCode Lottery), and £1,919 on a third Bell Stretcher (funded by ARM’s COVID fund). Other major funding received in the year included £5,041.53 from the Co-Op community fund (towards mobile 3), £3,422 through Facebook donations, £2,500 through the High Peak Borough Council Covid grant, and £1,000 from Tesco Bags of Help. We are now also getting significant income through the sale of team supporter multi-wraps. Thanks to Mike Potts and Pete Doyle for managing this.
We do not have a collection box report this year from John Mottram as we have agreed to run this through to next year. Many of the host locations have been closed for much of the past year, and are still closed, so this seems the best option.
I have included below figures showing cumulative income and expenditure, and our cash assets, so that you can view this year’s figures in the context of previous years.

3.9. Secretary’s Report
Companies House, the Charity Commission, The Information Commissioner’s Office, PDMRO and MREW have been kept up to date with the required team’s information. The routine tasks of preparing and issuing meeting agendas and minutes, tracking actions, monitoring insurance arrangements, and processing emails on behalf of the team continued.
Our Risk Register is regularly reviewed, and any actions needed to mitigate risks are prioritised and tracked to closure. Risk assessments associated with all of our operational activities are also reviewed and updated at least annually.
We have migrated our documentation from Box to Google Drive and all team members have access to the relevant documentation on Google Drive. The team’s policies and procedures have been progressively developed and improved with the support of the other Trustees. The annual review and update of these documents is working effectively. The team’s documentation is a consistent format and available to all members.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
| Recognition of income Donated services and facilities 2.1 INCOME Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; • it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs Contractual income and performance related grants Support costs This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Offsetting Grants and donations Note 2 Accounting policies Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. |
