Our base is in Hayfield in the High Peak and we operate mostly within the UK Peak District National Park and in the rural and urban areas of north Derbyshire, Macclesfield and Stockport. We also support wider local and national emergency response as required. ## **What we do** The team’s primary objective is to support the community 24/7/365 providing specialist search and rescue at the request of the emergency services, including: 1. Search of all terrains, urban and rural, for injured, lost or missing vulnerable people. 2. Provision of first on scene casualty care, to protect life and to prevent any deterioration for the casualty, including the packaging and extraction of the casualty through to handover to ambulance services. 3. Assisting water rescues (rivers, lakes, reservoirs and floods), response to bad weather (e.g. traffic and ambulance assistance in snow) and multi-agency major incident emergency responses (e.g. the partial collapse of the Whaley Bridge reservoir dam wall in 2019 and moorland fires). ## **Emergency services we work with** KMRT is one of seven teams within the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO) under the umbrella of Mountain Rescue England and Wales (MREW). We primarily work with the Derbyshire Constabulary but are also called to assist Greater Manchester Police, East Midlands Ambulance Service and North West Ambulance Service. This means we work frequently with several Air Ambulance Organisations including UK Search and Rescue as part HM Coastguard as well as Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance. ## **Fundraising** KMRT receives no funding from central or local government and so we rely entirely on fundraising activities, donations and grants. It costs approximately £50,000 a year to run the team on top of which we have to fund significant projects, for example the purchase, maintenance and development of our base, new and replacement vehicles and equipment. We are very grateful for the support and grants from several organisations. Over the last few years these include: New Mills & District Model Railway Society, John Southworth Builders Limited (KMRT has been their charity of the year), the Macnair Trust of Marple and Mountain Rescue England & Wales (3 new vacuum mattresses), The North Staffordshire Round Table Lodge (two new wheels for our stretchers), Vitality Community Active Fund, High Peak Borough Council Councillors Initiative (rope rescue equipment, new laptop, water team helmets and hill party rucksacks), Platinum International / Alliance Motor Group for water rescue equipment), Gryphon Alpha FPSO platform Welfare Fund, the Clair Ridge Welfare Fund, Tesco Community Fund (contribution to conversion of our new Landrover Defender), Thornsett Brewery (sale of Kinder 50 beer and donations), Nutri-Advanced, Kaiser Trust (new team rucksacks), via Mountain Rescue England & Wales HRH Prince of Wales Annual Charity Polo Match, B&M Community Fund (major contribution to our new Landrover Defender ), the National Lottery (digital radios), Tesco Bags of Help (trailer for our water rescue equipment), the People’s Postcode Lottery (hill party kit), Co-op Community Fund (additional road vehicle), Arm Corporation (new stretcher), Arnold Clark (replacement rucksacks for team kit), Thomson Reuters Community Fund (contribution to our new Landrover Defender), Waitrose (running expenses), Whaley Bridge Over the Road Charity Shop, Covid small business discretionary grant (running expenses), Visit New Mills, Marple District Rambling Club, Innominata Mountaineering Club and the Puttenham Bonfire Fund. We would also like to thank various organisations for donations received in return for team members support at local events, for example Hayfield Open Gardens, New Mills and Chapel-en-le Frith Town Councils, the organisers of Hayfield Apple Day, the organisers of Hayfield May Queen, Pennine Fell Runners, The Strines Nightingale Festive Fundraiser (musicians The Hayes Sisters, Oli Pratt and Dave Haddon) and many others. We are indebted to supporters who make donations in memory of friends or family who have died, including in memory of Alan Mann, John Laughton, Alan Minchin, Ron Bradley, John James Barton and John Shuttleworth and donations from the sale of Neil Broady’s art. We are also very grateful to each and every one of our numerous supporters who have undertaken incredible missions and projects to raise money for the team. There are too many to mention everyone, but these include employees of John Southworth Builders Limited (triathlons and other events), June Thomas (through sales of her fish recipe book), Anne & Doug Hicks (Golden Wedding donation), Kinder Blue and Karen and the Cellar Katz, High Peak Singers, I’d rather be Outdoors, Rita Firth, the family of Mark Boulton, Mrs Parkes in memory of her brother Steve Chatterton (a former team member), Jill Watson’s cakes, marmalades and jams, Stockport MAD band (Ian Hendersen) Millers Refillers, and Dave & Ursula (Peep O’Day parking). Special thanks are due to great supporters of the team, Nicky and Gareth Hall, who donated funds to the team that were raised from the event in Hayfield celebrating their daughter Amy’s 18[th] Birthday. To help our community and raise additional funds through donations we assist at various community events such as: - Marshalling and/or providing first aid at fell runs (e.g. Kinder Downfall, Kinder Trog, Mark Boulton Memorial Race); - Arranging our own annual fell race (Cracken Edge); - Helping with the organisation and running of Hayfield Open Gardens; - Helping at and attending various local events such as New Mills fireworks, Hayfield May Queen, Hayfield Apple Day; - Helping with the organisation, spreading awareness and running of the annual St Ann’s Hospice Christmas tree collection, which in January 2024 raised over £100,600 for St Ann’s Hospice, Francis House Hospice and 10 other local charities including Kinder Mountain Rescue Team; - Providing talks and/or first aid training to various schools and groups, including Mellor WI, Hayfield WI and numerous others. ## **The community we are here to help** Our base is in Hayfield, a large village at the foot of Kinder Scout in the Peak District, but our operational area covers not just Kinder Scout but a wider area including urban locations. The map below shows our operational area and the location of our callouts over the last 10 years: A lot of people live close to and visit our patch. The Peak District is the most visited and most accessible National Park in the UK, close to the cities of Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby. An estimated 20 million people live within an hour’s drive of the Peak District and more than 13 million - people visit the Peak District National Park each year (https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/learning about/news/70-years-of-the-peak-district-national-park/peak-district-facts). People flock to Hayfield every weekend, whatever the weather, to enjoy Kinder Scout and its foothills. Our ‘patch’ covers the Kinder plateau which includes a popular part of the Pennine Way, numerous Instagram advertised attractions such as Kinder Downfall (as a waterfall and for its renowned icicles for winter climbing), air crash sites (at least 6 sites on our patch with memorials or wreckage). I t is the location for Duke of Edinburgh excursions, numerous fell runs and long-distance walks, and is very popular with mountain bikers. ## **Our interaction with the community** We work with and support our local community wherever we can. - The Team regularly attends schools, and local groups, such as Scouts, WI, U3A, and sports clubs, to promote the work of the team and discuss safety in the mountain and to give basic first aid training, particularly in CPR and defibrillators. - We support and assist at various community events (see fundraising above). - We provide help in bad weather including supporting the police when people are stuck in the snow, transporting people when a road ambulance cannot reach them, and we took some people to their Covid injections when the weather was bad. We are also grateful for the support of several organisations who provide KMRT or team members with highly discounted or free goods and services or give us priority. There are too many to mention all of them but these include Jane Newman Planning, Colin Divall, John Southworth Building Company Ltd, Joel Hacking of Rachel Hacking Ecology, Paul Molley and North Staffordshire Round Table Lodge, Michelmores Solicitors, Marstons Brewery, Pete Bland for fell race numbers, Naughty Dog printers in Disley, Hallam’s garage in Hayfield, Cotswold, Alpkit, Outdoor Active, and numerous businesses and pubs who have our collection boxes. ## **Sustainability** As an outdoor organisation we are acutely aware of the challenges presented by climate change. In line with the Charity Commission’s guidance, we a e integrating sustainability into the operation and management of the team. We have a published sustainability policy which focuses on four key areas: - Having sustainability at the heart of everything we do - Aiming for net zero carbon emissions as an organisation - Sustainable purchasing - Reduce, reuse, repair, recycle We are at the beginning of this journey and there are many challenges ahead. Some key achievements so far have been: - The generation of a sustainability group and a sustainability policy - Including sustainability into all officers’ job descriptions to ensure that it is considered at all decision points - Increased reuse and recycling of equipment. Avoidance of acquiring new kit unless there is a need – even if the kit is free - Change of electricity supplier to a 100% renewable supply ## 3. **Message from the Chair** 2023 saw us successfully train another 5 recruits who became full team members in September 2024. All new members go through a 12 month programme and are supported by many members of the team who give up their time to teach, develop and encourage them through to full membership. As well as responding to callouts, the team rely on additional hours from many operational members. This includes vehicle checks and maintenance, re-supplying casualty care stocks, the upkeep of base, planning and executing training, co-ordinating with other teams, bodies and organisations to share knowledge and best practice as well as create and run events, co-ordinating and attending fundraising events, finding and making grant applications, delivering talks to and hosting local groups to share what we do. There is a real level of commitment within the team over and above helping our casualties on callouts. We are delighted that we have managed to fundraise enough to replace one of our Landrovers and we now have 3 working vehicles to support our efforts. We continue to use part of the New Mills Fire Station which is rented from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service and we are grateful for this space to store all our water kit and a vehicle. We spent much of 2023 trying to expand our Base in Hayfield in one way or another and continue to look at all opportunities so we can have all our equipment and assets central to Hayfield where we deploy from for the majority of our callouts. This gives us security and peace of mind that we can continue to operate quickly and efficiently and have the space to train and meet with our 55 team members. Without the generosity of the public every year, and those people and organisations who value our work, we would struggle to finance the ongoing needs of the team, we would be unable to keep up with developments in techniques, equipment, and be unable to meet the expectations of the people we rescue. On behalf of the Team Members and the people we have to rescue in the future I would like to say thank you to everyone who has given us a donation of any size. We would also like to thank our neighbouring Mountain Rescue teams who respond when we need extra personnel to assist with search and recovery, particularly including the Teams at Glossop, Buxton and Edale. For our members to respond to callouts we rely on the continued support of their employers. Thank you once again for granting this time and adapting your business to the inconvenience this can create. Finally, thanks to the families of the Team Members who are probably the greatest to suffer inconvenience, not only the time for training, meetings and call outs, managing to deal with wet and muddy kit, as well as the call out alerts going off in the night, during dinner and on birthdays. Alison Wild, Chair ## 4. **Operational update** 2023 - 24 has been a very busy year for the team, with 54 incidents and was our second busiest year ever. The team has had to contend with a higher than usual number of incidents in addition to the challenging nature of some of these callouts. There have been some exceptionally difficult and emotionally draining incidents for the team. ## **Callouts April 2023 – March 2024** ## **Callouts per calendar year** The team’s principal response area covers the western and southern areas of Kinder Scout, which is the highest point in the Peak District National Park. This is one of the busiest National Parks in the country, mainly due to its proximity and ease of access from both the Manchester and Sheffield areas. Kinder Scout is a large area which is notoriously difficult to navigate in poor conditions. Visitors are regularly caught out by the severity of the conditions and the featureless nature of higher areas. Almost half of our callouts are for lost / benighted and injured walkers, which reflects the terrain the team covers. In 2023 the Team was made up of 58 members: |Role|Number| |---|---| |Hill members|40| |Probationary members|5| |Operation support & drivers|6| |Non-operational members|7| Many team members take on additional roles which require extra hours of training: |Role|Number| |---|---| |Off-Road Trained Drivers|24| |Off-Road Driving Instructor|2| |Water Team, Swift Water Rescue Technicians (DEFRA MOD3)|10| |MREW Casualty Care Qualification|24| |Rope Rescue Instructors|2| The team also deals with a range of requests for our assistance including attending flooding incidents and searches for missing vulnerable people. Many team members committed significantly more time than this for no financial reward, often in addition to their full time paid employment and family commitments. Our training programme is key to being a successful mountain rescue team, so we are also ready to respond to a request for help in a search and rescue operation. All team members are expected to attend a high percentage of our standard training which covers casualty care and mountain rescue skills every month, supplemented by monthly weekend exercises where we put this into practice and carry out exercises covering subjects such as rope rescue incidents, missing walkers on Kinder Scout, high risk missing vulnerable person searches and the like. In addition to this standard training, we must also carry out specialist training depending on our own individual specialist areas such as working with helicopters, off road driving skills, water rescue skills, search management planning skills, IT skills, leadership skills and much more. The Team Leader is supported by two deputy team leaders and six assistant team leaders, all of whom are skilled and trained to a level where they can take a request for help and run a callout from start to finish. The team is fortunate to have such a group of dedicated leaders. The other aspect of our operational work are the meetings and liaison groups with colleagues in other mountain rescue teams in both the Peak District and the Greater Manchester areas. The work that quietly goes on in the background with the statutory services ensures that we have exceptionally good working relationships with a vast array of partners including Derbyshire Police, Greater Manchester Police, Cheshire Police, East Midlands Ambulance service, North West Ambulance Service, Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service, HM Coastguard Rescue and various Air Ambulance charities. My thanks go to every team member, their families, their employers and every single person who supports us in the work that we do. Without you all supporting us, we could not respond to requests for help from those who need our help within our local communities or all those who visit our area. Thank you. Alan Howarth, Team Leader ## 5. **Financial summary** The team has had another successful financial year, during which we have again benefitted from several legacies and donations, and also continued investments to maintain and improve our Search and Rescue capabilities, specifically the purchase and conversion of two replacement Landrover Defenders, and purchases of a new Bell rescue stretcher and vacuum body splints. Income for the year was £67,320 and expenditure was £50,624. So we have received a net cash income of £16,696 over the year. The balance of funds at the end of the year was £372,461, £244,848 of this as cash in the bank and at hand. This means we retain £131,598 over our fixed reserve of £113,250, 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 cover for both the main base at Hayfield, and our additional storage space at New Mills Fire Station. We keep our cash balance across several different banks to ensure all our funds are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. That we have had a good financial year is once again primarily due to the continuing efforts of the fundraising team, Pete and Amanda, who have successfully found several 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 fundraising activities. We have listed major supporters of the team earlier, so will not repeat them here, but again, thanks to each and everyone of you however large or small your donation. Major items of expenditure in the year include £84,892 on our rescue vehicles (including 78,767 on a replacement vehicle with parts needed for the conversion); £6,995 on equipment; £5,422 on communications ; £5,392 on premises; £2,102 on insurance; £936 on medical supplies, £755 on fundraising and £400 on training. ## **6. 5 year plan and fundraising aspirations** The Trustees and Leadership have introduced financial budgets for the various aspects of the Team to allow us to foresee and better plan for financial challenges the Team routinely faces. Over the last few years they have also implemented robust organisational processes to continue our mission to have the highest levels of professionalism across all our operations and activities and in our financial controls and governance. This includes: - having a robust business case and plan for all projects, to ensure we fully assess what we are allocating funds to, the reasons for the need, why the project is an appropriate response to the need and research into the quality and price of alternative solutions. - Taking into account our risk management and health & safety policies in all decisions we make. Based on this forward look, we maintain a rolling five-year expenditure plan, which includes all routine running costs, training costs, and maintenance and renewal of team equipment and personal issue kit. Increased inflation is an important factor which will increase costs on all aspects of our operations, and we have included inflation forecasts into our forward look and have taken action to mitigate the impact by moving some funds into restricted access higher interest earning accounts. Major items of expenditure for the next 5 years include a further replacement of one of the team’s rescue vehicles and replacement defibrillators. These costs are in addition to the projected £50,000 “normal” annual cost of running the team. ## 7. **How to contact, follow and support us** If you would like to know more about us and follow us, we have a website and an Instagram, Facebook and Twitter page: https://kmrt.org.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/kinder_mrt/ https://www.facebook.com/KinderMountainRescueTeam/ https://twitter.com/_KMRT You can also view our popular callout videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/alanhowarth1/videos If you would like to help raise money for us or donate we have a JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/kmrt If you prefer to donate directly this can be done to the following bank details.

**Grants with performance**
**conditions**
**2.3 ASSETS**
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is
described in the trustees’ annual report.
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or
net realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net
realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial
recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the
charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected
to be received.
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on
the contract.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
They are valued at cost.
**Offsetting**
**Grants and donations**
**Intangible fixed assets**
They are valued at cost.
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.
**Tangible fixed assets for**
**use by charity**
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.
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.
**Heritage assets**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable
can be measured reliably.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
**Provisions for liabilities**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
**Basic financial**
**instruments**
**Stocks and work in**
**progress**
**Debtors**
The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash
and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on
deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment
purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
**Creditors**
They are valued at cost.
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through
custody or legal rights.
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.
**Current asset**
**investments**
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their
usage.
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and
its compliance with regulation and good practice.
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**
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
**Support costs**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 6.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture.
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Redundancy cost**
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
**2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
**Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of
the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
**Investments**
**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.
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
