Strategic Report

Our mission is to provide an inspirational rural setting for young people to develop their personal potential

The Chellington Centre is an award winning, eco-friendly youth residential retreat - a base for exclusiveuse learning, recreation and self-development in a beautiful, rural setting.

It is a place of expedition, inspiration and invigoration, particularly but not exclusively for young people, offering many opportunities to build self-confidence, reflect and celebrate life. A place of transformation.

Every year, we welcome thousands of overnight or day visitors from a diverse range of backgrounds, visiting with their schools, youth groups, families or through a charity.

“ Chellington is uniquely able to create a magical reality, a space unto itself, the world as it should be. Having experienced it, when they return home, the young people can remember what they built for themselves at Chellington, and what can be built in their own community too. ”

CEO of Advocacy Academy

Heralding a new chapter

Over the last few years, trustees and staff have worked hard to raise funds, gain permissions and manage the construction of the Herald Building. We were all delighted to celebrate the official opening of this much needed facility in May.

The new camping washrooms in the Herald Building increase the overall occupancy capacity on site to 66, with 36 indoors and 30 campers, and we enjoyed welcoming the first larger groups over the summer months.

Staff, volunteers and trustees are also enjoying their new office space in close proximity to the Centre after spending many years in the temporary office accommodation generously provided by Emmaus.

The trustees are extremely grateful to all those who have supported this major endeavor.

“ We created an orienteering course around the village. The children worked as a team and had lots of outdoor experiences. With a night away they learnt how to look after themselves and all of the children came back, growing in confidence and becoming more rounded children. I believe that the children gained more from this venue than they can from any of the other residential providers. ”

Assistant Head Teacher of St Matthews Primary School, Luton

2023 Key Priorities

  1. Build community relationships that deliver life changing experiences at Chellington for disadvantaged young people

  2. Raise awareness and funds for the Chellington Bursary Fund

  3. Complete our expansion project

  4. Host ethical weddings and premium events to underpin our running costs and fund youth programmes

  5. Develop a long-term fundraising strategy to build financial resilience and future-proof the Charity

Build community relationships that deliver life changing experiences at Chellington for disadvantaged young people

The Chellington team strives to build community in three ways:

Enabling groups to achieve their outcomes for a visit to Chellington is key to our purpose, so that their stay is an integral part of their ongoing support and work with young people within their community. Organisationally, we strive to build strong relationships with leaders that becomes more than resource provider and client, developing new opportunities for partnerships and ongoing use of the centre as part of their programmes.

Every group has its own objectives for their residential and young people have a range of needs. We want to see every child & young person impacted by their stay, showing increased confidence and recognising their own potential through engagement with the countryside that surrounds them. Time to reflect and discuss their experience and the environment they are in, and decide how they want to be when they return home.

The Centre enjoys high levels of repeat bookings from schools, religious youth groups, local authorities and youth charities looking to create opportunities for young people to step out of their normal lives and experience a different world at Chellington.

As well as supporting these returning groups in any way we can, we constantly strive to attract new groups - engaging with community networks and organisations in the area to identify with others how we can facilitate responses to needs and utilising our bursary scheme to support use of the centre whenever necessary.

Targeted marketing and development plans for the three key youth sectors (schools, youth charities and religious youth groups) have been designed to reach out and open up discussions about how the Chellington Centre Charity can help these communities change the lives of young people.

Raise awareness and funds for the Chellington Bursary

“ Many of our children come from large families, often with two or three generations sharing a house. They come from hugely disadvantaged homes and going away overnight is something they can only dream of! The bursary makes this an affordable trip; it makes this trip possible! ”

Head Teacher at Queen’s Park Primary School, Bedford

The trustees believe that every young person should have the opportunity to have a life changing residential experience.

The Bursary Fund was set up to support this belief, offering financial support to school groups who find funding for a residential hard to access.

Typically, this might be:

Raising funds for the Chellington Bursary Fund remains a strategic priority for the trustees, both to attract new, relevant youth organisations and to continue to meet our Charitable Objects, ensuring the Centre remains accessible to all, regardless of means.

Complete our expansion project

The creation of Red Kite camp means we can now cater for large groups of up to 66, utilising all the bunk and sofa bed accommodation inside the Centre and the tent pitches outside.

Thanks to the generosity of the Stewardship Foundation Ibbett Fund, we are close to raising all the funds needed to complete the final stage of our expansion project. This involves creating outdoor facilities for the campsite including a rustic log bench picnic /social area with shelter, cooking and catering equipment and a washing up area.

Achieve GOLD tourism award

Having received the silver award in recognition for our green credentials, we are working towards gold status. Among many other things, this involves the creation of a visitors’ charter to encourage groups to embrace our commitment to green tourism.

“ The time at Chellington allows children to forge new friendships, try new things, talk about things they wouldn't normally talk about at school. All these things help the children to develop their self-confidence and encourages them to experience different things. Many of our children do not leave Queens Park so experiencing being in the countryside is often a new concept! ”

Head Teacher at Queen’s Park Primary School, Bedford

Trustees’ report for the year ended 2022

Host ethical weddings and premium events to underpin our running costs and fund youth programmes

A key part of our fundraising strategy involves generating core income from hosting a limited number of ethical weddings and premium events at the Centre. Income from these events helps fund our operational costs as well as contributing directly to our youth programmes.

In addition to generating income, these events help to engage and educate the community on what goes on at the Centre and ways to support it.

Trustees’ report for the year ended 2022

Build financial resilience and future-proof the Charity

Since the creation of the Chellington Centre Charity at the end of 2013, the Chellington team has done much to build a first-class reputation for hosting residentials. Continuous efforts have been made to be self-sustaining financially through efficient management and with the help of many volunteers.

However, the Charity’s mission to benefit the disadvantaged where possible through bursaries and concessions in fees will and must always remain a high priority. This results in the constant need to strike a careful balance between the focus on generating enough bookings income to finance the running costs and our commitment to supporting the disadvantaged youth people who sit at the very core of the Charity’s objectives.

To date, the Charity has been extremely fortunate in receiving financial support from a number of key benefactors, responding with great generosity when called upon. However, Chellington lacks an endowment fund to provide financial security and therefore has no guaranteed fall-back resilience.

Over the next 5 years, as well as building financial reserves through the generation of bookings income and careful cost management, the Charity will seek to secure a future that achieves a longer-term level of financial resilience, working in partnership with other organisations sharing the same vision to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people.

Treasurer ’ s Report

Going Concern: Trading (unrestricted) account

2022 saw the return to more normal activity following the substantial effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the two previous years. Bookings income of £108,751 exceeded the cost of our charitable activities which were £100,182, resulting in a surplus on charitable operations of £8,569. We also received a final element of local government pandemic related support of £2,667. In addition to this, we were fortunate to receive unrestricted donations amounting to £15,553, including £10,000 from the Wixamtree Trust and £5,000 from the Sylvia Adams Trust.

Free Cash

At the end of 2022, our available unrestricted cash reserves amounted to £50,865. This is an improvement on £13,449 in 2021 arising from a combination of a surplus on charitable operations (which is after deduction of a non-cash depreciation charge of £9,843), unrestricted donations and government support. As a result, free reserves are now above our target of 3 months’ operating expenditure. The trustees remain confident that we are able to maintain the business as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Operating Expenses

We continue to manage our operating costs to minimise our cost base wherever possible.

Capital (restricted) accounts

2022 saw the completion of the construction of the Herald Building. We received further donations towards the construction and related costs amounting to £15,913. The building was opened in May at which point the total costs of the project were capitalised and transferred to the unrestricted account with an opening book cost of £313,583. The building is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 25-year useful life.

During 2022, we have continued to raise funds for the ongoing development of the Centre (£13,946) and our Bursary Fund (£300). These funds will allow us to continue to support disadvantaged children and young people and complete the development of camping facilities.

2023 Financial Outlook

Forward Bookings

As of 31 December 2022, we have confirmed bookings for 2023 and beyond to the value of £74,871 (2021: £72,051), against which we hold deposits of £20,060 (2021: £21,846).

Like many businesses we are faced with a very substantial increase in our energy costs in 2023. We have raised our prices for use of the Centre as a result in order to recover some of these costs from our visitors. However, our operating budget for 2023 indicates a modest operating deficit for the year. The extent to which we will need to draw on our reserves to cover any shortfall will depend upon the amount of unrestricted donations and grants we receive during the year.

Our fundraising efforts will focus on raising funds for the Bursary Fund to enable more young people who would otherwise be unable to visit the Centre to benefit from what can offer.

Governance Report

1. Structure

The Chellington Centre Charity was set up with the singular purpose of supporting and developing the work at the Chellington Centre.

The Charity was established as a registered charity on 2 April 2014 as the Chellington Centre, having been set up and incorporated as a company on 28 November 2013.

The governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 21 November 2013, which were adopted by special resolution on the 13 March 2014.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, at least half the number of appointed directors reside within a 15-mile radius of the Chellington Centre.

2. Trustees

Martin Hazell resigned from the board midway through 2022 due to other commitments. We are extremely grateful to Martin for all he contributed.

We welcome Edward Chamberlayne to our Board of Trustees as our new Treasurer.

3. Mission and Charity’s Objects

The provision, maintenance, organisation and management of The Chellington Centre to:

Our mission is to provide an inspirational and rural setting for young people to develop their personal potential

4. Bursary Fund

In furtherance of the Objects, but not for any other purpose, the Charity has established a bursary fund from which to provide bursaries to make the facilities of the Charity as accessible as possible to as wide a range of groups as possible.

5. Charity Governance Code for smaller charities

The Charity’s Trustees have adopted the Charity Governance Code for smaller charities:

1. Organisational purpose - The board is clear about the charity’s aims and ensure that these are being delivered effectively and sustainably.

2. Leadership - The board provides strategic leadership in line with the charity’s aims and values. Full

Page | 13

Trustees’ report for the year ended 2022

trustee meetings are held at least quarterly to review financial results, policies and procedures and any issues of governance.

3. Integrity - The board acts with integrity, adopting values and creating a culture which help achieve the organisation’s charitable purposes. The board is aware of the importance of the public’s confidence and trust in charities, and trustees undertake their duties accordingly.

4. Decision-making, risk and control - The board makes sure that its decision-making processes are informed, rigorous and timely and that effective delegation, control and risk assessment and management systems are set up and monitored.

The Trustees have assessed the risks that the charity faces. The major financial risk is a reduction in occupation of the Centre. This risk is controlled by close monitoring of advance bookings and adjustment of budgeted spend for flexible costs, when required.

5. Board effectiveness - The board works as an effective team, using the appropriate balance of skills, experience, backgrounds and knowledge to make informed decisions.

6. Diversity - The board’s approach to diversity supports its effectiveness, leadership and decisionmaking.

7. Openness and accountability - The board leads the organisation in being transparent and accountable.

6. Reserves policy

The Trustees have determined that, given the seasonality of income, it is appropriate that unrestricted free cash reserves at year end should be maintained to enable us to cover approximately three months’ salaries and fixed operating expenditure.

Customer deposits and prepayments are held in a separate bank account until such time as occupancy takes place.

Restricted reserves are managed to ensure that they are maintained in separate bank accounts and are only applied for the purposes set out in the grant applications and donations.

7. Trustees’ responsibilities to prepare financial statements

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity and of the deficit or surplus of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of

the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

1.6. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Capital expenditure on items costing £2,000 or higher are recorded as tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost valuation less depreciation.

This Construction in Progress was held on the Restricted Balance Sheet as a fixed asset until the building was brought into use when it was transferred to the Unrestricted Balance Sheet and appropriate depreciation policies applied.

1.8. Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Charity has no further payment obligations.

Bursary fund - The aim of the Chellington Bursary Fund is to make The Chellington Centre as accessible as possible, particularly for young people in areas of deprivation where funding is not easily available for residential activity. In 2022 ten Bursaries were awarded to a value of £3,0400 (2021; four awards to a value of £1,880). Two further awards were approved in 2022 to a value of £1,250 for events in 2023.

Herald Building fund - This restricted funding was raised to build the Herald Building, incorporating showers and toilet facilities to be made available to campers, an administrative hub for the Chellington team and much needed storage space for equipment.
