**MARRICK PRIORY TRUST**
## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **Welcome**
I am pleased to report Marrick Priory Trust ends the year in a sustainable financial position, supporting the day to day running of the centre and maintenance of our historic buildings.
We continue to attract repeat visits from schools, but visitor numbers are falling, and we will need to consider how we address this. We continue to remain relevant to our visitors needs and we have been able to offer every activity and continue to research new ones.
I would like to thank the staff, Trustees and Friends for their hard work, expertise and integrity ensuring
Marrick Priory is always a safe, happy and inspiring place to visit.

## **MARRICK PRIORY TRUST**
(A company limited by guarantee)
## **Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **Reference and administrative details**
This information is presented on page 1 of the accounts.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Constitution and Governing Document**
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. Marrick Priory Trust was registered as a charity on 1 December 2010 and is governed by its memorandum and articles.
## **Aims and Organisation**
Marrick Priory Trust is an independent company limited by guarantee linked to the Diocese of Leeds of the Church of England.
The primary aim of the Charity is to manage and maintain Marrick Priory as a Christian residential community centre for outdoor education and training, religious worship, study and recreation.
## **Public benefit**
Our values and culture are central to everything we do, guiding us to achieve our goals. We the board, and staff, remain focused on supporting groups with a welcoming, homely atmosphere; ensuring that all who visit us and work here feel part of the Marrick Family. We continue to receive many, many letters of thanks saying how much our visitors have enjoyed their visit.
We listen closely to our visitors’ issues, needs and priorities; whether it is a quiet, reflective few days, team building outside in the countryside or managing inner fears jumping from the leap of faith. Each group is asked to complete a questionnaire. These are then assessed and addressed by the management team.
One of our key measures is the number of bed nights taken, as it is our main source of revenue. This year; April 24 to March 25; we had a total of 5870 bed nights, a decrease of 10% on last year. This looks like an ongoing trend and so the board will need to review the model over the next 12 months.
A figure we keep an eye on as booking patterns change and group sizes increase due to Academys’ class sizes and the cost of living crisis. We are fortunate most bookings are made 12 - 18 months ahead, although we keep an eye on the final numbers versus booking numbers. It can be difficult making planning decisions when the numbers fluctuate. All our visitors this year were from schools and organisations in the north east; from Newcastle to Barnsley, Skipton to Goole. We always enjoy the diversity of non-school groups, 19% of bookings this year included scout, Christian, young farmers, diabetic, addiction, learning and physically disabled, inner city and military organisations. Day bookings were similar to last year
The Trustees have reviewed the aims and objectives of the Charity against the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and believe they comply with the requirements under the Charities Act 2011
## **Activities**
The activities offered remain very much the same. Both the activities at Marrick Priory, including high and low ropes courses, climbing wall, leap of faith, zip wire and archery and those off-site such as water sports, climbing and caving continue to achieve remarkable results of improved self-belief, mental health, team work, leadership and managing risk.

## **Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
The accommodation aspect of a visit teaches many soft skills and opens the visitors eyes to many positive aspects of life not found at school or home. For a number of visitors there can be many firsts such as their first time away from home and family, the first time they have to make their bed, their picnic lunch and explore the countryside. They learn the importance of supporting and encouraging their peers, connecting with nature and creating memories for ever.
Overall visitors learn the importance of our values at Marrick Priory;
- Trust
- Integrity
- Inclusivity
- Respect
- Kindness
## **Achievements and Performances**
During the year;
- Updated the Trustee handbook
- The Head of Centre, Jim Gleave, is seconded to Marrick Priory Trust from the Diocese of Leeds
- Friends events such as quiz and curry night and Christmas events continue to raise money for the bursary fund.
- A commercial rate was introduced
- A visit from Rishi Sunak, our local MP had shown a lot of interest in what we do and the ethos of Marrick.
- 2 new instructors had passed recent qualifications and were progressing well.
- Domestic team were fully staffed
- First Aid training had been done recently
- We continue to work to deliver our 5 year strategy
**Pillar 1** Sustain Marrick Priory as a destination of choice for its high quality environment and innovative range of activities.
## **Pillar 2**
Marrick Priory facility is a high quality environment that meets the needs of all staff and guests. **Pillar 3**
Cultivate the Marrick Family and its people centered values, where everyone is welcome and treated with dignity and respect.
Looking ahead, bookings are again excellent for the year ahead, with only a few weekends free in the colder months.
In the meantime, we strive to continue the great work done by the staff, trustees and friends; maintaining our high standards of activities, instruction, hospitality and welcome, and continue working towards the goals our strategy outlines.

## **Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Charity status**
The Trustees of the Charity, who are also directors of the Company for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees**
Our highly skilled board of volunteer Trustees ensure we are robustly governed and met 4 times during the year supported by the Staffing Committee, Estate and Facilities Group, Business and Activities Group and Marrick Family Group. All are chaired by Trustees and some groups also include members of staff.
In accordance with our Memorandum and Articles of Association the maximum number of Trustees is 14, made up of 5 nominated by the Bishop of Leeds, 2 nominated by the Leeds Diocesan Board of Finance, being the custodian Trustee of Marrick Priory, and 7 from the wider community in which we operate.
The board at present has 10 members. At the September AGM 2 Trustees were re-elected and an additional Trustee was welcomed. There were 2 Trustee resignations during the year, and the Clerk also gave notice but agreed to continue for a little while longer until other arrangements were in place
A trustee skills audit is ongoing
## **Organisational structure**
The Head of Centre is responsible for the day to day running of the centre supported by 1 deputy, administrator, business development, maintenance, housekeeper, domestic team and instructors.
The domestic team was strengthened allowing a more flexible workforce.
One instructor was dismissed following a number of occasions where they had been informed that their conduct was below the required standard. There were concerns around safeguarding and the safety of children and residents. The final incident was one of gross misconduct and the employee was dismissed immediately and requested to vacate the premises.
## **Key management remuneration**
The Charity does not have many employees and considers the key management personnel to consist of the Head of Centre, Jim Gleave, and unpaid Trustees. The Head of Centre is seconded to Marrick Priory Trust from the Leeds Diocesan Board of Finance. His remuneration is shared by both Marrick Priory Trust and the Diocese of Leeds. This funding is reviewed annually by the Trustees.
The Friends of Marrick Priory have organised several entertaining events to promote the work of the centre, raise funds for the bursary and to purchase items enhancing the visitors’ experience at Marrick. We thank Cathy Trewby for her role as the Friends’ chair.
## **Our partners**
We work closely with a number of partners; the Diocese of Leeds provides HR support and our farming neighbours provide support in a number of ways as well as enrich our visitors’ experience of the countryside.

## **Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **Risk Management**
We encounter risk daily, particularly with outdoor activities and young people. We have in place a number of annually approved policies and procedures including; Health & Safety, Safe Practice for Outdoor Activities, Safeguarding, Incident, Whistle Blowing, Safe Recruitment, GDPR and the Risk Register. The risk register is reviewed and updated regularly by the board.
## **Fund raising**
The staff put on ‘soups and puds’ lunches in the lead up to Christmas when the centre is less busy. One visitor commented “Thank you for a lovely lunch I love supporting this wonderful place and knowing that my contribution goes towards such a worthy cause - the bursary fund”. The domestic team enjoy showcasing their cookery skills and supporting the bursary fund, which ensures so many people are not left out of enjoying the special Marrick Priory experience.
## **Financial Review**
## **Investment powers**
The Trustees may invest funds as they see fit, subject to the laws and regulations in place at the time.
## **Reserves policy**
The reserves policy of Marrick Priory is to maintain sufficient free reserves (total reserves less restricted funds and fixed assets) to enable the centre to meet three months expenditure, this is currently £144,000. The current level of free reserves, net of designated funds, amounts to £55,475. The Trustees are conscious of the need to raise additional funds in order to support the ongoing, regular work of the Charity.
## **Principal funding sources**
The majority of the Charity’s income is derived from its charitable activities, through the provision of outdoor activities.

## **Statement of Trustees Responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Marrick Priory Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied, they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
Observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

(A company limited by guarantee)
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and the charitable company’s trustees as a body in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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**
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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
4. The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.

Marrick Priory Trust For the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
## **Notes to the Accounts**
## **16 MOVEMENT IN FUNDS - continued**
The General Fund meets all the general operating costs of the charity.
The Development Fund was established to fund the acquisition and refurbishment of The Prioress' House, and the existing Priory together with the construction of new facilities and accommodation.The Trustees now consider that the original restriction was discharged following the original acquisition and refurbishment, and that the monies now set aside for future development are, instead, designated funds.
The Bursary Fund was established some years ago to provide financial assistance to those unable to meet the full cost of a visit to the centre. The Fund is represented by money held in current and deposit accounts.
The Outdoor Classroom Fund represented funding from Army Community Covenant Fund and Richmondshire District Council towards the purchase of land and construction of the new outdoor classroom building. The Trustees now consider that the original restriction has been discharged.
The Low Ropes Course Fund represents funding from The Jessica Bethell Charitable Foundation, which the Trustees now consider to be designated rather than restricted.
## **17 RELATED PARTIES**
During the year, Marrick Priory Trust made payments totalling £22,318 (2024: £19,845) to the Diocese of Leeds contributing towards the salary and living expenses of the Head of Centre.
## **18 MEMBERS**
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The Members of the Company are the Trustees named on Page 1. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.
