Objectives and Activities
Objectives and Aims
-
To preserve historic buildings demonstrating the rural heritage of Upper Swaledale for the public benefit.
-
To further or benefit the residents of the rural community of Keld without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these Objects but not otherwise, the Trustees/Directors shall have power to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain, manage, or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the Charity/Company in furtherance of the above Objects.
-
To advance the education of the public in the appreciation, conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of Upper Swaledale and the history/heritage of the Yorkshire Dales in general and Upper Swaledale in particular.
About Keld
Keld is a small community in the north of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, close to the border with County Durham and Cumbria. The village retains its traditional character, and its buildings are typical of the Dales vernacular. It sits within the parish of Muker in Upper Swaledale, within a truly outstanding landscape. It is not prosperous as the predominant industry, hill farming, generates only modest incomes. The visitor economy is of growing importance, but tourism services are less developed than elsewhere in the Yorkshire Dales.
Keld is perhaps best known as the point where the Pennine Way and Coast-to-Coast Walk National Trails meet. It also has, reputedly, the largest number of waterfalls in England.
In support of our charitable objectives, the focus of our work is on a cluster of Listed buildings in the centre of the village. Keld Resource Centre Limited is restoring and maintaining these buildings for the public benefit, including community development and public education. We are also a key component of the 'Keld Project,' first started in the 1970s, which through our local Church partners provides a mission of presence for the community and visitors.
Our Trustees/Directors are inspired by the foresight of the buildings' founder, a larger-than-life Victorian era Church Minister the Rev James Wilkinson, who saw the mission of the local Church as meeting the physical and educational needs of residents as well as their spiritual needs. Restoration of the former Village School building and its surrounds has been completed recently (2022) and the cluster of heritage buildings now comprises the former Manse, former School (Old School Museum), former Literary Institute (Heritage Centre) and grounds.
All of these are leased to Keld Resource Centre Limited by the United Reformed Church (URC). We have a close working partnership with Low Row & Keld URC which is generally referred to as Keld 'Chapel' and also with the URC Northern Synod with whom we are a Mission Partner.

Public Benefit
The buildings that we operate and will continue to maintain in the future, along with programmes of activities that the buildings are used for, provide services to visitors and local residents. Our restoration work also helps preserve rural heritage for future generations. Keld is popular with visitors who enjoy the natural beauty of the Upper Dale including the Pennine Way and Coast-to-Coast Walk National Trails. Visitors can find out about the history of Keld at the Old School Museum and the Heritage Centre located in the Literary Institute building, which is run on an entirely voluntary basis. The restoration of the buildings maintains the valuable heritage assets of the area, which is in turn a major reason why people come to Keld.
Our services also contribute to public health, education and wellbeing by supporting access to some of the finest countryside in England. This is delivered in partnership with the local Church's 'Keld Project', which additionally, if required, provides a mission of presence for the community and visitors.
The Trustees have reviewed the Charity Commission's guidance on the requirement to report on public benefit. They are satisfied that the work of the Charity, as described in the Charity Objectives, accords with its stated objectives, and provides tangible public benefit to a wide section of those who reside within the Charity's areas of benefit; the criteria used to assess those who may benefit is not unreasonably restrictive.

Year Ended 31 May 2025
Achievements and Performance
The Trustees/Directors are pleased to report on a year of continued activity and strategic development across the Charity's/Company's core areas, supported by our team of Volunteers.
Income Generation
Income from The Manse bookings continues to be a significant income stream for the Charity/Company. Bookings in the last two financial years have experienced a modest downturn, reflective of the wider economic pressures, including cost-of-living concerns and reduced discretionary spending being experienced across the local holiday let market in the Dale. Encouragingly, booking patterns observed in 2025 indicate a positive trend towards recovery.
The diverse and varied Events Programme, encompassing a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, continued to expand in both volume and popularity. These events are focused on the history and natural environment around Keld and introducing traditional crafts to a new audience. This successful growth has resulted in the establishment of a robust and developing supplementary income stream for the Charity/Company.
Engagement and Fundraising
The increased focus and targeted efforts in external fundraising and 'marketing,' driven by our Volunteers, have successfully delivered valuable additional income streams. In addition, the 'Friends of Keld' initiative continues to provide a valuable, if modest, income source. This mechanism for regular support was successfully re-branded as the 'Subscribers of Keld' in early 2025 to enhance its appeal and clarify its function.
The Charity's/Company's profile continues to be raised through increased participation at key regional events, including the annual Muker Agricultural Show and the expansion of guided walks hosted by our Volunteers in collaboration with the annual Swaledale Festival.
Heritage and Education
The Old School Museum continues its successful development and is now firmly established as the principal building within the suite, with visitor numbers matching or exceeding those of the Institute/Heritage Centre. Despite this strong visitor engagement, voluntary donation income remains constrained, reflecting the current economic squeeze on disposable income. The associated Archive resource continues to attract public interest, with an increase in requests relating to family history research.
Our role as a Mission Partner of the URC Northern Synod has continued and the establishment of a separate Faith Advisory Group alongside the Board of Management has been a positive development. The 'Minister in Residence' programme and Bible Study events are growing in popularity, thereby providing welcome ancillary income. The recent appointment of a new Minister is anticipated to further strengthen the Group's positive momentum.
The Charity's/Company's ability to deliver this diverse programme and manage the ongoing maintenance and repair of the property suite is highly dependent on the efforts of its Volunteer team. The Trustees/Directors acknowledge and greatly appreciate the dedicated commitment of all existing Volunteers and welcome the encouraging addition of new recruits during the year.
The financial performance in the year is set out in the income and expenditure account.

Financial Review
Reserves Policy
As at 31 May 2025 the charity's net assets were £340,254 (2024 - £320,511) of which £7,250 (2024 - £48,807) were restricted funds and £336,185 (2024 - £271,704) were unrestricted funds. The unrestricted funds included £231,407 of fixed assets and £101,197 of free reserves.
The Trustees/Directors periodically review the level of reserves. This review takes into account income and expenditure streams. The Trustees'/Directors objective is for the Charity/Company to have reserves that equal at least three months expenditure, which at 31st May 2025 equals £10,627, together with sufficient funds to cover the ongoing maintenance of the buildings.
Plans for Future Periods
The Trustees/Directors have established clear strategic priorities for the forthcoming period to ensure the continued sustainability, relevance, and operational excellence of the Charity/Company. Following the resignation of Reverend David Wood as Chair, the Board has put robust arrangements in place whilst a suitable replacement candidate is identified. This plan utilises the strengths/skills of existing Board members in chairing meetings, leading initiatives and representing the Charity/Company in external facing roles aligned with their respective areas of expertise.
Operational and Programme Growth
The primary operational focus remains on the continued consolidation and growth of the popularity of the existing buildings, The Manse, Old School Museum and Institute/Heritage Centre, together with the Events Programme activities. This is essential to ensure maximum engagement and public benefit.
Efforts will also be focused on growing the 'Subscribers of Keld' initiative (re-branded from 'Friends of Keld' in 2025) to enhance its effectiveness and contribution as a source of reliable income.
The Faith Advisory Group is also anticipated to increase the volume of its activities and engagement. Formal monitoring arrangements are in place for the Board to oversee the effective management of the URC Mission Grant delegated to this Group, ensuring associated benefits are maximised for both the Charity/Company and the URC.
Asset and Brand Management
The previously identified need for a comprehensive medium-term Asset Management Plan is actively being addressed by a dedicated Board sub-group. This plan, which is currently being developed with detailed budget and funding strategies, will focus on the scheduled maintenance of the fabric, décor, and energy efficiency of the Charity's/Company's buildings. This initiative is expected to lead to significant capital investment in the assets over the next three years.
A separate Board sub-group is currently undertaking an examination of the Charity's/Company's Brand identity. This aims to update the brand to more accurately reflect the current strategic vision and role of the Charity/Company, whilst also addressing inconsistencies across all public-facing platforms, including signage, the website, and social media channels.
Financial Sustainability
The existing Fundraising sub-group will intensify its focus to ensure sustainable and diversified income streams are in place. These revenues are necessary to support both the increased operational needs and the delivery of the major future capital projects outlined in the developing Asset Management Plan.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Keld Resource Centre Limited
Year Ended 31 May 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Keld Resource Centre Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 May 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 May 2025
1. General Information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 11 Roedean Drive, Eaglescliffe, Stockton-On-Tees, TS16 9HT.
2. Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees consider that there are no significant judgements or estimates affecting these financial statements.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Year Ended 31 May 2025
3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Operating Leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Keld Resource Centre Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year Ended 31 May 2025
3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Tangible Assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold property - 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line
Impairment of Fixed Assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Taxation
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
4. Limited by Guarantee
The company is limited by guarantee. At 31st May 2025 there were 9 members each of whom had undertaken to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 in the event of a winding up.
The company is under the control of the directors as a body and as such is not controlled by any individual.
