## **Introductions** 

When I wrote the Chair’s report last year, I think we all hoped that 2021 would see a return to normality - we now know that this was not to be! The continued restrictions caused by the pandemic have meant that we have all had to get used to more of the “new normal”. The stresses caused by coronavirus, and the changing face of Agriculture have meant in 2021 the support and advice provided by UTASS has been as vital as ever. The hardworking staff, led by our manager Bob Danby, have all gone above and beyond to make sure that UTASS has been there for people throughout Teesdale and Weardale. Their dedication is truly heart -warming, and without doubt is one of the reasons why UTASS is held in such high regard. 

We have said goodbye to four members of Staff over the past year, all of them of long standing, and I would like to thank them for their fantastic contributions- they are Jen Smurthwaite, Alison Greaves, Zelda Heney, and Theo Clapp. We wish them all well in their new lives, and hope that they will keep in touch. 

2022 marks the end of my five year tenure as Chair. It has truly been an honour to have carried out this role for UTASS, and I have so many memories to treasure: showing the King of Lesotho around the Dale, attending a science fair with the youngsters, meeting Prince Charles as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations, and witnessing the wealth of local creative talent at the annual Christmas Fair at the Mart - to name but a few. I will also remember the support of the Trustees and Staff, which has made my role such a pleasure. I welcome Michael McGarry as the new Chair, and am looking forward to working with him and all of you in my continuing role as a Trustee. 

As a charity reliant on external funding we are always conscious of what the future may bring, but there is no doubt that UTASS is currently in a strong position. This is thanks to the many people who combine to make UTASS the organisation it is: the wonderful UTASS Staff, our Patrons, Trustees and of course our Volunteers who give so much to the organisation. 

With very best wishes 

**Richard Matthews MA, MRCVS Chair of UTASS Veterinary Surgeon** 



## **Introductions** 

2021 was another busy year for UTASS. The repeated changes to lockdown quickly convinced us that any firm planning about the services we provide was futile. However, as you read through this report I hope you will agree our staff and volunteers  have  delivered those services brilliantly. 

Some members have expressed concern that we have reduced the level of support to our agricultural members. I want to reassure you that we do everything we have always done. We just do a lot more in addition. 

I could not pretend that we are back to normal, but I’m certain you will agree that we are in a far better place than we were at this time last year. I hope my optimism for 2022 is not misplaced. 

Every year I highlight the UTASS staff for their dedication to providing a service to dales residents. Every year they prove just how much they deserve credit for that. 

On the Friday when Storm Arwen struck in November, we were due to help Santa visit 74 children in Upper Teesdale, the following day we were due to hold the Christmas Fair at Middleton Mart. To my utmost amazement both went ahead! No credit to me as I was on the beach in Gran Canaria. I didn't get off the hook totally however as my mobile number is the emergency contact for UTASS. 

My personal thanks to you the UTASS staff, thank you for your dedication, thank you for never saying no, thank you for finding solutions to problems that are way, way, outside of the UTASS norms. 

I am proud to be able to support you in your work. 

Equally I want to highlight our amazing volunteers. Once again this year, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of those who contributed to the £65,000 worth of volunteer time which enabled UTASS to function. We couldn’t do what we do without you! 


Here’s to 2022, the challenges it will undoubtably bring, and the help and support we can give to people in the Durham Dales. 

**Bob Danby CMgr MCMI UTASS Manager, Company Secretary Treasurer** 



## **Farming Support** 

**2021 saw further progress in the development of our farming support team, Richard and Tess, and Charlotte and Emma who bring with them enhanced IT skills.** 

**In anticipation of the new schemes and opportunities that the Agricultural Transition Plan will bring, Charlotte and Emma are increasingly dealing with more complex matters, to relieve the pressure on Richard and Tess.** 

**The team endeavour to help members find solutions to a wide range of problems, but are always aware that mistakes can have severe financial implications.  This responsibility is stressful for the staff.  Multiple checks throughout the process helps to reduce their anxiety.** 

## **Basic Payment Scheme** 

**(BPS) The 2021 application window opened in mid March 2021 during the third Covid 19 national lockdown. Having** 

**John Watson Member** 

**completed BPS applications remotely in 2020, repeating the process for a second year seemed to work well by telephone appointments. However discussions around wider farming issues, cross Compliance and the Agricultural Transition Plan were inevitably brief  due to the lack of definitive detail from Defra. BPS phasing out began in 2021, and will continue until it will cease after 2024.** 

## **Grants & Countryside Stewardship Assistance For many of our** 

**members these schemes are as important as BPS! We continued to offer assistance with annual extensions to HLS agreements and SSSI consents as well as checking that Annual Claims were submitted by the 15th May deadline.** 

**Again, we were able to support members with applications to the Hedgerow and** 

**Boundary Capital Grants Scheme, despite the application window coinciding with the BPS application window. Charlotte has developed an expertise in this area particularly in negotiating the laborious claim procedure and the presentation and labelling of photographic evidence.** 

**The drama started in May 2021 when I received an invoice for a considerable amount of money which the RPA said was for a breech of agreement.** 

**Richard at UTASS had previously helped me with this matter to make sure this would not happen. However the RPA persisted.** 

**Thanks to Richard knowing the correct procedures to get to the bottom of it, before further action was taken.** 

**Help with applications for new Countryside Stewardship agreements continued, as did aiding members with appeals for penalties and RPA demands for evidence of compliance.** 

**In such a stressful and worrying situation having someone to turn to who knows the inner workings of the RPA is vital, without UTASS I would not have known who could help. I am Richard Spry Member forever grateful.** 



## **Farming Support** 

## **Agricultural Secretary** 

**Tessa’s continued support to businesses is vital. Business changes, updating bank account details, farm assurance, tenancy issues, succession, record keeping, cross compliance, and planning have all been handled by Tess, and the team over the last year.** 

**Collectively we have tried to keep up to date with the many changes that are coming and to play as full a part as possible in trying to ensure that future schemes recognize the needs of our members: for some of our staff this has meant an incredible amount of time participating in Zoom calls.** 

## **Graziers Groups** 

**During the last year most of the graziers associations have been unable to meet as required by their agreement, but Richard was able to complete the process remotely to have their HLS agreements extended a further year..** 

**Cotherstone Moor started a new Countryside Stewardship agreement in 2021. This has involved a considerable programme of peat restoration, which wasn’t without it’s problems.** 

## **Briefings** 

**Again, these were one of the few services that remained ‘normal’ during the pandemic, Richard does a remarkable job of translating complicated jargon and large policy documents into bite-sized language the ordinary person can understand and digest.** 

## **Providing a voice** 

**UTASS has collaborated and engaged not just at local levels, but also regionally and nationally, to ensure that the voice of Durham Dales farmers gets heard when the Government is developing a national agricultural Policy to replace the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) after Brexit.** 


**The development of Environmental Land Management (ELM) and in particular the Sustainable farming Incentive (SFI) has occupied a considerable amount of Richards time. On several occasions Richard has met our MP Dehenna Davidson and DEFRA Minister Victoria Prentice MP, including personal  visits to hear the concerns about the replacement BPS schemes being far from being “fit for purpose” and the need for financial sustainability for farmers if the government’s ambitions for ELM are to be realised.** 



## **Farm For The Future** 

**In September we ran a series of meetings across both Teesdale and Weardale, inviting farmers and their families to come along together to find out about the ‘Farm for the Future’ programme and also hear details about the agricultural transition plan, which was, and still is a huge concern for all our farming members.** 

**100 local farm businesses signed up to the ‘Farm for the Future’ programme;** 


**The Farm for The Future programme entails a series of meetings, delivered in partnership with the Prince’s Countryside Fund and other farm support groups from across England, and funded by the Defra Future Farming Resilience Fund.** 

**Ann Godschalk Member** 



**Sessions towards the end of 2021 focused on how to look at business finances and develop plans to help prepare for the future, when the Basic Payment Scheme ends, and on potential environmental opportunities and the changes that are coming to land management schemes.** 



## **Access to Services** 


**Durham County Carers Support are an independent, charitable organisation. We work closely with them, referring members within County Durham who are carers to enable them to receive information, advice and support.** 

69% 

**Barnard Castle Post Office runs of users say they a satellite feel they have a say branch from on the services UTASS twice a provided at week. UTASS** 

**These sessions remain vitally important for the rural community of Upper Teesdale.** 

**The service also has an environmental benefit, saving people making the 20 mile return journey to Barnard Castle.** 

**therapeutic .[Wendy Stafeckis ] Resident** 

**June Wainwright was able to continue here Weekly Yoga sessions sessions on  Zoom during the lockdown.** 

**She also recorded some sessions, so that those unable to attend the live sessions could still benefit by doing the recorded session at a time to suit them.** 

**Face to Face sessions were able to** 

**resume in the autumn, before having to pause when government advice was again to work from home again.** 

**Citizens** 

**Advice drop in sessions at UTASS remained vital to the local community. Unfortunately due to the Covid pandemic, fortnightly sessions which have historically taken place could not. We worked alongside Citizens Advice to advertise that assistance was still available via telephone or email, with a dedicated telephone number and email address. We did manage to get a face to face session arranged before the end of 2021 and it is hoped, that this can continue in 2022.** 

**‘Out of Hours’ assistance remains a vital Surgeries Service; we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! We encourage those who don’t feel they can call to send a text or contact us anytime via our Facebook page or website.** 

**Surgeries with our MP and Area Action Partnerships were suspended due to Covid restrictions, we hope to restart them soon, giving residents opportunity to have their voice heard. The facilities were also used by our local parish councils and other local groups for meetings, again giving residents the opportunity to feed into local organisations.** 



## **Bringing People Together** 

**After restrictions eased we were Ladies outings delighted to  be able to arrange 5 ladies outings. The first visit saw a return to the popular Lanchester Garden Centre followed by visits to Thornton Hall** 

**Gardens, and a lunch at the Langdon Beck Hotel.** 


**In October the ladies thoroughly enjoyed a private tour around Ushaw College and just after Remembrance Sunday, they headed over to see “Tommy” at Seaham followed by fish and chips. Stalwart Sue Bainbridge was our volunteer driver for all the visits.** 


## **CREE monthly lunches** 

**Very cautiously we restarted the farmer’s lunches in October 2021.** 

**Thank you for all you do for us, arranging lunches and outings to places we would not get to, it is very much appreciated .** 

**Rosemary Thompson provided the wonderful food assisted by her daughter in law, Rosie, a much valued volunteer. The men were delighted to get together again for the craic.** 

**The Christmas meal at St John’s Chapel was postponed a couple of times as the army were using the hall following the devastation left by Storm Arwen. The men commented that** 

## **Doreen Collinson** 

**Resident** 

**the meal was definitely worth waiting for.** 

## **Highlights Rural Touring Theatre** 


**Despite national lockdowns we had great interest in our two highlights productions. In June the Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre brought their ’Dinosaur Detectives’ show.  It was a great hit with the children who came , and included a puppet workshop afterwards.** 

**In November, Multi Story Theatre Company visited with their ‘Hefted’ production, a play by David Lane. Four actors conjured a score of characters between them, and tell the stories of the landscape and history of rural life.** 



## **Bringing People Together** 


**Time Together Between January and October 2021 we provided a variety of free activities and events for women living/working on farms across the dale.** 

**The first was a surprise ‘Pamper Pack’, which was very well received, at a time when many people were really starting to feel the long term effects of all the lockdowns. Next was a kit with everything the ladies needed to create a spring floral decorated willow wreath followed by a walk from** 

**Bowlees over to Holwick for afternoon tea at the Farm House Kitchen.** 


**In August we had a ‘Revel in the Rostrum’, which was an event the whole family could come and enjoy, a good excuse to get out and catch up with friends. The final event in** 

**Christine Bell Member** 

**October was a ‘Ladies Night’ Rebecca Tiplady not only helped to organize the event, but also hosted the event. It gave everyone the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping and enjoy the gin bar with the free transport that was on offer!** 

**The women involved appreciated being thought of and the excuse to get out and about to socialise after the many months spent isolating at home.** 


**Carol Hunter Member** 

**Music & Memories Fortnightly sessions continued online or via dial-up right through until the end of September, when those who felt comfortable came back into UTASS to enjoy the singing in person, while others continued from home. In November, a lady from America, who had heard of our sessions through Mike Bettison, our ukulele player, came along to meet everyone while she was over in the UK.** 

**Frank Kidd Member** 

**At the Christmas session we saw more participants coming along in person, enjoying the festive songs and carols.** 



## **Bringing People Together** 

## **Wellness Walks** 


**Susan Bainbridge, a local part-time first responder and volunteer, with the use of the UTASS minibus, arranged 10 trips for walks around places including Stanhope, Staindrop, Cow Green, Bowlees and Balder Head.** 

**The group enjoy the ride out and also the variations of walks.** 


## **Brew Crew & Now** 

**In May 2021, we partnered with TCR hub, Jack Drum Arts and Northern Heartlands to run a programme of free workshop and drop sessions known as ‘NOW’.** 

**The first few sessions were guided walks for familes with young children.** 

**Sessions then moved indoors to weekly drop in sessions. We have 53 registered participants who regularly came along and enjoyed the huge variety of artist led activities that have been available, including tai chi, music, photography, wire sculpting and lantern making!** 

**There has also been offsite trips enjoying local events including the ‘Museum of the Moon” at Durham Cathedral.**

## **#In It Together** 

## **Lunch Deliveries** 

**Throughout the year we have continued delivering weekly meals prepared by Karen Scott. We rely on volunteers to deliver the meals and they have all built up good relationships with the recipients, reporting any problems or concerns back to us to follow up.** 

**Numbers have dropped from around 51 per week to an average of 26 as people regain their confidence.  Anne also continued to I look forward to the make weekly lunches, they make a lot of Keep In difference both mentally Touch Calls and to the lunch physically. Derek LeMare Resident recipients and other isolated members of the community.** 

## **Emotional Support** 

**In the early months of the pandemic June (a retired mental health social worker and therapist) had supported clients on a voluntary basis. June joined the UTASS staff full time from May 2021 as a Community Resilience Worker with funding from the County Durham Covid Resilience Team to cover Teesdale and Weardale.** 


**Linked with other voluntary sector partners  throughout the county UTASS has been able to offer flexible support to clients whose wellbeing has been affected by the pandemic. Covid has had far reaching effects on the community- loss of livelihood, pressure of working from home and home- schooling children, longer term covid- linked respiratory illness, loneliness and the effects of the heightened fear from the threat of infection. As the usual sources of help were forced to resort to telephone and Zoom many people felt a deep loss of human contact. Going out to individuals over the past eight months we have been able to support people in finding their feet once again.** 

**June has worked with individuals but also continued the popular yoga, mindfulness and relaxation classes which returned to face- to- face format in Autumn 2021. An additional group has met in Barnard Castle at the TCR Hub.** 

**Whilst we all hope that the worst of the pandemic is over the Resilience Service will be operating at least until early Summer 2023.** 



## **#In It Together** 

## **Shopping Deliveries** 

## **Enid Linton** 

**We continued throughout 2021 to provide weekly grocery shopping for isolated members. We use** 

**Resident** 

**two couples who have volunteered from the very start of the pandemic. The number of people using this service has reduced, however the remaining ones are very appreciative. Thanks too to the staff at the Co-op for all of their support.** 

## **Prescription Deliveries** 

**The much needed delivery service which was put in place last year by local resident Diana Currie, at the height of the Covid outbreak was still a valued service to many local residents throughout 2021.** 

**However with the lockdown rules/restrictions easing the demand was not as great, and the decision was made to reduce the deliveries to one day a week rather than two which is still a great benefit to residents unable to get out.** 

## **Here for you** 

**When people were still unable to get out about due to lockdowns and Covid restrictions, we continued to try and help people have something positive to enjoy doing at home and something to look forward to.** 

**Activity packs, including flower arranging, knitting, painting, drawing, colouring and card making were put together and delivered to people’s doors once a week for six weeks.** 

**In late summer we ran this again and provided packs to a new group of people across the Middleton area. We had some fantastic feedback from those who took part, telling us how much Thank you for the packs… I used they liked having a to do origami so I’ve got back into it surprise since getting that one, I’ve been pack to look making little things again. I love forward to painting so the extra top ups of paints each week and brushes have been great, as I use and having that kind of stuff something different to try.**

## **Volunteers** 

## **Working Together** 

**Our brilliant volunteers, young and old, have continued to be a huge help to UTASS throughout 2021, supporting us to deliver much more community activity than we would ever be able to achieve within our small staff team.** 

**Our meal delivery volunteers alone, have contributed over 1200 hours of volunteer time throughout the year. Karen Scott from the Farmhouse Kitchen at Holwick has been fantastic, continuing to prepare two course meals every week, before they’re delivered across Upper Teesdale and Weardale by a team of volunteers.** 

**A number of volunteers have helped us with other tasks, including general office tasks, helping with community events and shows, packing up our Christmas cards and calendars and our volunteer mini bus drivers have helped transport people to and from appointments and sessions when people have been unable to get there themselves. They have also helped us to take groups from the dale on day trips and visits.** 

**Another important contribution are those people who perhaps don’t see themselves as a volunteer, but do make a huge difference.** 

**They are the people who support us in different ways, those that help spread the word about what  UTASS does both by word of mouth and on social media. Those that sponsor our cards, calendars and events. Those people that bring both ideas and concerns to help us  get it right.** 

**Thank you!** 


**Whether you are a regular volunteer, a one-off helper, or someone waiting in the wings to help as and when they are needed, we say a huge THANK YOU you’re amazing, we would not be the organisation that we are or be able to do what we do, without you!** 

**If you would like to join us and get involved as a volunteer for 2022, we would love to hear from you.** 



## **Working Together** 

## **Oil Buying Group** 

**Since UTASS took over the management in 2018, the scheme has gone from strength to strength.** 

**We now have over 300 households/businesses in the Upper Dale benefitting from a discount ranging from 2.6p to 7p per litre.** 

**Norman McBain Resident** 

**Membership of the group is FREE.** 

**Charlotte collates orders on a monthly basis. The majority of this is done via email, however for the 40 members without email access Charlotte makes contact via telephone calls. These are often appreciated as much as the monetary saving!** 


## **Rural-Watch ‘WhatsApp’ Group** 

**The group, the first of it’s kind in the area, was set up in 2018 as a response to localized crime, and it still continues to grow! Emma manages the group, day and night, keeping it on track and also shares information** 

**from other local groups now set up using our original model.** 

**Local police monitor the group** 

**providing them with live intelligence. This year again, on several occasions the actions of the groups have resulted positive outcomes, both in relation to crime and peoples Rural Watch is the most effective community welfare.** 

**On one occasion members of the group tracked a stolen quad bike for 17 miles, the police had the bike recovered and arrests made within 28minutes.** 

**Superintendent  Andrew Huddleston National Police Chiefs Council lead for Plant and Agricultural Machinery theft** 

**Durham Constabulary admitted, had it not been the real-time updates our group** 


**members were making, there would be little chance of the vehicle being recovered, nor an arrest being made!** 

## **Rainbows** 

**After a break of nearly 18 months 1st Upper Teesdale Rainbow  were in a position where they could return to faceto-face meetings, however their usual meeting place wasn’t re-opening, so we offered them use of UTASS in June 2021.** 




## **Working Together** 

**The first meeting was a huge success with 15 girls attending, 3 returning girls and 12 new starters, the girls coming from both Middleton-in-Teesdale and Cotherstone Primary Schools, with leaders Sam Pickering and Megan Simmonds delivering the new Rainbow Programme which includes lots of badges and awards.** 

**As a unit they like to be involved with the community around them. During 2021 activities included making Fairy doors and friendship rocks and putting them out around the village to decorate the Village in Bloom plant pots and the unit also attended the Remembrance service at the War Memorial.** 

**We have three girls who have already earned their Bronze award, the rest of the unit is working hard and should catch them up early in 2022 with the plan to give every Rainbow the chance to achieve the Bronze, Silver and Gold award during their time in Rainbows** 


## **Beavers & Cubs** 

**The future of the 1st Upper Teesdale** 

**Beavers and Cubs unit was looking uncertain Joe Simmonds after they Cubs Leader faced the** 

**same situation** 

**as the Rainbows unit, with the Village Hall** 

**not reopening.  The 10 Beavers, aged 6 to 8 and 12 Cubs, aged 8-10, with a mix of boys and girls, meet every Friday during term time to play games, do crafts and earn badges.** 

## **Community Events** 

**2021 saw the centenary of Middleton -in-Teesdale's War Memorial, and the working group from 2020 made sure that the display would be even better for the 100th celebration! Two more silhouettes were added this year, a kneeling ‘Tommy Soldier’ and a grieving women.** 

**Several keen ladies knitted and crocheted 600 poppies, which were then stitched together by an amazing exrocket scientist with mathematical accuracy before it was suspended from the tree in the memorial garden.** 



## **Working Together** 

## **Community Events** 

**With the promise that the country wouldn’t be plunged into a pre-Christmas lockdown like 2020, plans for the Christmas Lights Switch on were ramped up, alongside the return of the ever popular Middleton Mart Christmas Fair.** 

**With many vulnerable and elderly residents still nervous to venture out, another gift, reminding those on their own, or struggling that the community is there and thinking of them was also planned. Instead of lanterns, this year, 120 miniature real Christmas trees were decorated with bright lights, and beautiful stars made by the nursery children at the local Primary school, and then delivered by volunteers, or by those who had nominated someone to receive one.** 

**Following the success of the ‘Door Step Santa Visits’ last year, we were asked by the Christmas Lights committee if this could be a permanent feature, and they were as popular as ever!** 

**76 Children were booked to have a doorstep visit from Santa on the eve of the Christmas Fair, there were 63 stall holders booked in to attend. The Village and the Mart were adorned with lights ready for the festive weekend, however the best laid plans were thrown into disarray when Storm Arwen battered the Dale. Volunteers battled snow and gales to make sure the Door Step visits still went ahead, however just a few hours later, the dale was cut off from the world, with a** 

**communication blackout and powercuts that ended up lasting weeks for some.** 

**With no way of getting word out that Middleton’s Festive plans would have to be put on hold, Emma made her way to the mart in case some of the 63 stall holders should manage to make it! Remarkably, even being ‘powerless’ in more ways than one, the fair went ahead with 22 stallholders and just as surprisingly, a great number of shoppers!** 



## **Working Together** 

## **Storm Arwen** 


**In the aftermath of Storm Arwen, it became very evident that the area had faced some of the worst weather conditions that we have seen for many years!** 

**The devastation of the network and the fact that the power outage went on for so long certainly frightened a lot of people, and reminded us of how reliant we are on electricity. It also proved that the use of coal actually saved lives that week!** 

**Despite having no communications staff worked from home and did their best to check those who might need help.** 

**Staff were not just staff, they were affected just as much as those who needed their help. Most are farmers and had stock to find, digging sheep out of snow drifts for days. Often putting themselves at risk to rescue their animals.** 

**Isolated properties without a mains water supply had no water, as they rely upon bore holes, which need power.** 

**The week following the storm was a busy one.** 

**Once our power was restored at UTASS we opened our doors to those who needed a warm space whilst we visited vulnerable people to check in on them. We sourced and delivered emergency supplies and working with the local authority, hot food and drinks were arranged for people across the area.** 

**Thanks to local farmers working with Northern Power Grid, the** 

**delivery of generators was speeded up, providing temporary power to households, some of which were without mains power for over 2 weeks.** 

**We were reminded what a resilient area we live in, we saw such a fantastic amount of community activity going on; people helping their neighbours and those around them.** 

**Going forwards,  we are now working together with Durham County Council and others to see what we are able to do to further prepare for such events that may cause disruption into the future.** 



## **Young People** 


**Initially 2021’s activities were conducted “at a distance” with fortnightly home deliveries of activity packs and recipes with ingredients for families to enjoy together. Thanks to Morrison’s for their donations of ingredients.** 

**Our regular weekly sessions, Monday girls group and Thursday evening mixed groups were still postponed. We were  all worried** 

**that this way of working would become normal.** 


**During April we worked with Investing in Children on an E-book via zoom. In reward for our young peoples participation they received £500 to spend on a celebration event and materials to use at the drop in.** 

**In recognition of our longstanding association with Investing in Children, have achieved awards for over 10 years, we were rewarded with GOLD membership.** 


**In May, as restrictions allowed, we managed to arrange some offsite activities at the Weardale Adventure Centre. The demand showed just how much this was needed.** 


**Young People attending the event.** 

**In  June, we were pleased at last to be able to re-open our doors. Treading carefully to control exposure to Covid, initially  to pre booked and limited capacity sessions.** 

**Since that time we have attracted 18 new members.** 



## **Young People** 

**Even though Carnival hadn’t been able to go ahead, they still planned some low-key community events. We entered the village scarecrow competition – and WON 1st Prize!  The young people opted for an ‘Olympics’ theme and celebrated our local team GB gymnast Amy Tinkler.** 

**All offsite trips this year have been fully funded and included food for all participants. Since July, this has included visits to Rof 59, Hamsterly Forest, Go karting and Planet Leisure. Our annual Sailing trip at Grassholme reservoir was also able to take place, this is always a much talked about activity! The Young People were also invited to visit the Grassholme Observatory.** 

**In December some of our young people volunteered their time to help decorate 120 Christmas trees to be delivered to lonely and vulnerable local residents, they also prepared chocolate truffles for The Pathway’s Christmas lunch and created & designed their own Christmas cards for our meal recipients** 


**Sadly, we said farewell to 4 longstanding members of our youth support work team Theo, Zelda, You are all an Lindsey and Jen this amazing team and our year, they are dearly local children are so missed by all!** 

**As well as goodbyes, we’ve also welcomed four new youth support team workers** 

**Rebecca Melville Yvonne Arkley–Bond Jacqui Nutter** 

**Susan Pinkney Parent** 

**Tom Mitchell.** 



## **Training** 

**In the first part of the year Covid prevented almost all training taking** 

**place. However we were able to hold the first training session at the end of May with a ‘Taster Day’ provided by Northumbria Dry Stone Walling Association.** 


**The first course consisted of trainees from the same family which helped with complying with social distancing requirements . Further courses were held in July and October.** 


**NPTC Safe Use of Pesticides course also ran in the summer, with Teesdale trainees accessing funds from Middleton Educational Foundation which supports young people, Weardale trainees who benefitted from funding from the Weardale Rural Skills project.** 

**In June we ran an NPTC Safe Use of Sheep Dips, course, always popular, this training involves a classroom session in UTASS delivered by Fiona Lovatt & Bimeda with help from Richard Betton, followed by both an online and a practical assessment.** 


**Ben Sartin Trainee** 





## **Training** 

**Eight young people achieved the British Offroad Driving Association Quad bike certificate at a course which provides knowledge and skills in a variety of unfamiliar terrain.** 

**Two people were assisted to pass their trailer test before the changes to regulations removed the requirement. Helen is pictured here proudly showing her certificate .** 

**In June we held MiDAS minibus awareness training, including the accessible minibus element for 9 trainees some of whom were our regular volunteer drivers.** 

**Some of these also went on to do a Outdoor First Aid or Emergency First Aid at Work with funding provided by Teesdale Action Partnership, this is** 

**Helen Bell** 

**Trainee** 

**another important and popular course.** 

**We finished the year off with NPTC Rough Terrain Telescopic training, with assessments between Christmas and the New Year.**

## **Our Staff** 

**The UTASS staff are the heartblood of the organisation, without them we would just be a building and a name.** 

**Each member of staff has their own speciality, but they all share one thing in common, a desire to help people with any problem that comes through the door. At one time these problems were largely agricultural but over time problems have become more diverse  and the range of knowledge required expanded too!** 

**Not every member of the team has all of the skills or knowledge required, but together its unusual for us not to find the right solution.** 


## **Anne Scott  - Finance & Admin Support** 

**Anne has worked at UTASS for 12 years and was previously a trustee. She lives on a tenanted Raby farm with her husband and 2 grown-up sons. She enjoys walking and taking photos in the local area and likes to fit in as many holidays as possible!** 


## **Bob Danby  - Manager, Treasurer and Company Secretary** 

**Bob became manager just over 4 years ago, but has been a trustee since 2001. He previously worked as a police officer and then latterly in leisure management.** 

**He is married to a Teesdale farmer’s daughter and spends his spare time doing DIY, mostly on his daughters house, to his wife’s dismay!** 


## **Charlotte Fletcher  - Admin Support** 

**Charlotte has worked at UTASS as part of the Admin Support Team for over 6 years. She lives on a tenant farm in Upper Teesdale with her husband and two sons.

## **Emma Spry  - Social Media & Admin Support** 

**Emma has worked at UTASS for 9 years, she also has a second job doing accounts for a building company where she has been for 19 years.

With three children, life is busy… Grace relaxes out walking, eating great food or chilling in a face-mask!** 


**Training Coordinator  - Julia Stephenson Julia enjoys working at UTASS, particularly organising training and meeting people, especially when it all goes to plan!!  Outside of work she likes to get out on the farm among the livestock, looking after some of her 4 pre-school Grandchildren, as well as supporting her elderly Mother, Yoga and exercise classes, all make her count her blessings!** 


**Resilience Support  - June Wainwright**

**Admin & Youth Support  - Rebecca Melville Becca joined UTASS in the summer of 2021 after previously working in ecology and then boarding education. Having grown up in Weardale, Becca was drawn back to the stunning Durham Dales where she enjoys spending her spare time exploring the hills.** 

**Farmers Liaison  - Richard Betton** 

**Richard has worked at UTASS for far too long. He is getting more and more cantankerous and the staff are spending an increasing amount of time covering up his inability to manage his diary and IT illiteracy. Having said all that he does know quite a bit about all the different Defra schemes so we are not planning to pension him off just yet. P.S. Richard wrote the above himself. The reality is Richard is our “elder statesman”, His knowledge and understanding of farming matters in incomparable  We need to resist his retirement as long as we can, as we don’t know how he can be replaced.** 


**Agricultural Secretary  - Tessa Wigham** 

**Tess is now enjoying her 20th year working at UTASS, she is also a member of the RPA Independent Appeals Panel and works for a Forestry Consultancy business too.  She is a partner with husband John on a beef and sheep farm in North Cumbria so there is never a dull moment.**

**Prof. Sarah Elton Professor  Durham University** 


**Kay Hutchinson Fieldsperson & Farmer** 


**Vice Chair Michael McGarry Solicitor** 


**UTASS is  a  registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association which were adopted in Dec 2006.** 

**It is under the control of a board of 11 trustees, chosen from a variety of backgrounds and occupations to give a diverse skill set.** 

**During 2021, 2 trustees resigned, Kay Hutchinson (April) and Jonathan Nainby-Luxmoore (June). Both trustees have provided invaluable service, Jonathan being an effective Chair for a number of years. Our heartfelt thanks to both.** 

**During the year sadly Robyn Peat resigned as Vice Chair, but remained as a trustee.  Thanks to Michael McGarry for stepping into his shoes.** 

**All trustees are committed, with strong attendance at meetings, none take any expenses in relation to their support.** 

**Trustees are appointed by ordinary resolution in accordance with the articles of association.** 

**Seven trustee meetings are scheduled per year with additional meetings where necessary. Eight, in addition to the AGM, were held in 2021 . Initially these were remote but now have returned to face to face with the option to join remotely.** 

**There is a staffing sub-group consisting of Richard Matthews,  Prof. Sarah Elton, Louise Dalton and Amanda Simpson. Other working groups are established for specific purposes, if and when  required.** 

**A full governance review was undertaken  in 2020/21. Trustees were largely satisfied,  though  some areas were identified where slight improvement could be made.** 

**The most obvious was the recruitment, induction and retention of trustees. New procedures have been introduced which will include mentoring support for new trustees.** 

**With a view to giving greater flexibility in the retention of trustees, changes to the Articles of Association will be put before the AGM in March 2022**

Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services Ltd IUTASS) participates in The Pensions TTusYs
Growth Plan Series 1, 2 and 3(the scheme). The schgmg is a multi*mployer scheme vthich
provides benefits to some 1.3LK) non-associaled participating employers. The scheme is a
defined benefit scheme in the UK. 11 is not possible for the company to obtsin sufficient
information lo enable it lo account for the scheme as a defined benefrt stheme. Therefore it
accounts for the scheme as a defined Contribution scheme. Accordingly, due to the nature of the
Scheme, Ihe accounting charge for the period urKler FRS102 represents the employer
contribution pay8ble.
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came
into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with do¢umenls issued by the Pensions
Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. sel out
the framework forfunding defined benefit occupational pension ￿heMeS in the UK.
The schemo is classrfied as a 'lasl-man stsnding arrangernent.. Therefore UTASS is potentially
liable for other Part￿1pating employers. obligations rf those employers are unable to meet their
share of the scheme deficit followng wlhdrawal from the sGheme. P8rtIClP81ing 8mployers are
legally required lo meet their share of the scheme deffictt on an annuity purchase ba515 on
wthdr8wal Irom the scheme. UTASS has been notified by The Pensions Trust of the estimated
employer debt on withdrawal from the Scheme based on the financial position of the Scheme as
at 30 September 2020. As of this date the estimated employer debt for UTASS was £21,229.
A fvll actuarial valuation for the scheme was carrigd oul al 30 September 2020. This valuation
showed asgels of £795m. liabilities of £832m and a deficit of £33m. To eliminate this funding
shortfall, the Trustee has asked some participating employers lo pay additional contributions to
the scheme bul UTASS has not been asked to make any such payments.
UTASS poid contributions at the rale of 10% during the acLounting wiod. Members paid
onlributions 81 the rale of 5¥0 during the accounting period.
As at the balance sheet d8te there was 1 active member of the scheme empkjyed by UTASS.
UTASS no longer offers membership of the scheme to its am￿0yeeS.
Employees who are not members of the Penslons Trust's Growth Plan Series 1. 2 and 3 are
offered a contribution to altemalive defined contribution pensions, which in some cYcumst8nces
is the Pensions Trust's Growth Plan Series 4. Total pension contributions made by the
employer during the year were £8.953 {2020 £11,752). Ther8 were no pension contributions
outstsnding al the year end.

Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services Ltd IUTASS) participates in The Pensions TTusYs
Growth Plan Series 1, 2 and 3(the scheme). The schgmg is a multi*mployer scheme vthich
provides benefits to some 1.3LK) non-associaled participating employers. The scheme is a
defined benefit scheme in the UK. 11 is not possible for the company to obtsin sufficient
information lo enable it lo account for the scheme as a defined benefrt stheme. Therefore it
accounts for the scheme as a defined Contribution scheme. Accordingly, due to the nature of the
Scheme, Ihe accounting charge for the period urKler FRS102 represents the employer
contribution pay8ble.
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came
into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with do¢umenls issued by the Pensions
Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. sel out
the framework forfunding defined benefit occupational pension ￿heMeS in the UK.
The schemo is classrfied as a 'lasl-man stsnding arrangernent.. Therefore UTASS is potentially
liable for other Part￿1pating employers. obligations rf those employers are unable to meet their
share of the scheme deficit followng wlhdrawal from the sGheme. P8rtIClP81ing 8mployers are
legally required lo meet their share of the scheme deffictt on an annuity purchase ba515 on
wthdr8wal Irom the scheme. UTASS has been notified by The Pensions Trust of the estimated
employer debt on withdrawal from the Scheme based on the financial position of the Scheme as
at 30 September 2020. As of this date the estimated employer debt for UTASS was £21,229.
A fvll actuarial valuation for the scheme was carrigd oul al 30 September 2020. This valuation
showed asgels of £795m. liabilities of £832m and a deficit of £33m. To eliminate this funding
shortfall, the Trustee has asked some participating employers lo pay additional contributions to
the scheme bul UTASS has not been asked to make any such payments.
UTASS poid contributions at the rale of 10% during the acLounting wiod. Members paid
onlributions 81 the rale of 5¥0 during the accounting period.
As at the balance sheet d8te there was 1 active member of the scheme empkjyed by UTASS.
UTASS no longer offers membership of the scheme to its am￿0yeeS.
Employees who are not members of the Penslons Trust's Growth Plan Series 1. 2 and 3 are
offered a contribution to altemalive defined contribution pensions, which in some cYcumst8nces
is the Pensions Trust's Growth Plan Series 4. Total pension contributions made by the
employer during the year were £8.953 {2020 £11,752). Ther8 were no pension contributions
