TRUSTEES, REPORT
Structure, governance and management
The charity is an association under a consiitution adopted on 8 May 2010. The charity
registered with the Charity Commission on 2April 2013. registration number 1151466.
Al trustees are members of the charity. The trustees are proposed, seconded and
elected by the members. This occurs every 3 years.
No training is given as they are all'informed" members.
No trustee has received any remuneration during the year. Expenses are reimbursed
onlywhere a trustee has incurred expenditure on behalf of the running of the camps.
The trustees complete Declaration of Interestforms, which are updated on a periodic
basis or whenever changes occur. and trustees are not permitted to vote on issues
where they have declared an interest.
Volunteers are reimbursed expenses. and they may be paid for specialist services to
the charity by agreement and with the approval of the trustees.
Objectives and activities
The object of the charity is to advance the Christian faith through the provision of
holidays foryoung people and families.
Frontier camps run two tented camps each yearwelcoming both'churched, and
'unchurched' children and young people, who come as individuals oryouth groups. Our
two primary aims duringthe camps are:
1.Telling Jesus, story- we want to ensure that no-one leaves without hearing that story,
and we tell ti through words which are reinforced through how we serve each other. We
tell it relevantly and creatively. We also primarily want to be tellingthe story to those
who haven't heard it or responded to it.
2. Providing a great holiday- to give young people a fantastic holiday.
We will constantly innovate to make sure our programmes are exciting. fun and safe.
When planning the objectives and activities for the year the trustees have considered
the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its
supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit and its
supplementary guidance on fee charging charities.

Achievements and performance
This year saw us returning to North Cotes for our usual two weeks of residential
activities.
Numbers were down, however, that was not unexpected due to both the age group that
come to camp and the experiences of sending organisations during Covid.
Both weeks were well enough attended to make this year's camps financially viable and
more importantly to ensure a safe and fun environment for all, and our 9- to 13-year-old
campers.
Week one had 51 campers supported by 63 volunteers with week two having 33 and 51
respectively.
Financial review
The financial statements for the period can be seen on page 4.
The trustees have determined that the biggest financial threat to the charity is a last-
minute cancellation of the camps. To cover unrecoverable costs in this circumstance
and to allow for working capital, the minimum reserves the charity requires are £5,000.
Although showing a deficit of £543 for the year. after allowing for a payment relating to
the youth weekend. that was received post year end, this year's Camps covered their
costs. Including Significant Equipment costs of £986. In addition to the equipment
bought a further £1000 has been transferred to the equipment replacement fund
leaving fee funds of c. £9,000 (after allowing for our specified reserve of £5.000) to
support future years activities.
