# **MISTERTON CHRISTIAN CENTRE CHARITABLE IINCORPORATED ORGANISATION**
## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT**
# **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **Reference and Administrative Detail**
**Registered charity name** Misterton Christian Centre Charitable Incorporated Organisation
**Charity registration number:** 1165226
**Registered Address:** The registered address of the Trust is:
Bookings Office Misterton Christian Centre CIO
## **Introduction**
The work of the charity began in a small way in 1946 as “Ossett and District Sunday School Camp” but, as its’ popularity grew, and the numbers increased, it became clear that the work should become a registered charity with the Charity Commission. Accordingly, on 14 October 1983 a Trust known as Yorkshire Sunday School Camp Trust (registration number 515455) was formed. The Charity then became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) upon registration with the Cnarity Commission on 19 January 2016; tine CIO is governed by a constitution dated 6th December 2015.
Later, with the full authority of the Charity Commission, all assets and liabilities of former trust (number 515455) were transferred to Misterton Christian Centre Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and the old Trust wound up.
The objective of the charity for the public benefit, is the advancement of Christian faith through evangelism in general.
## **Aims and objectives**
The objective of the Trust is to present the Christian gospel to children and young people through the organising of Camps. The largest of these is the Yorkshire Christian Camp, and attracts around 300 - 370 people (including workers) each year. The Trust also arranges the smaller Focus Bible Camp for older young people.
## **Management and Administration**
The Trust continues to be administered by seven trustees (see details below) who are all members of the CIO. All of the trustees are experienced in the work and have held office for many years; underthe constitution some of the trustees are required to seek re-election every three years at an Annual General Meeting. The trustees give of their time freely and are joined
in the work by many volunteers. With the exception of minor expenses paid to any unfortunate enough to suffer unemployment, the trustees and volunteers receive no recompense save that they covet the blessing of God on their efforts. Although the charity has a registered office address, correspondence and the like for the charity is through its contact, Mr Keith Clayton, whose address is:
Mr Keith Clayton 108 Sheepwalk Lane Townville Castleford WF10 3QE
As at 31 December 2020, the trustees were:
Mr Geoffrey Carter Chairman Mr Keith Clayton Secretary and Treasurer Mr Donald Gray Mr Christopher Leason Mr Matthew Ward Mr Daniel Hall Mr Steven Smith
## **Covid-19**
It is not unsurprising to record that the normal activities carried on at the Misterton site have been severely curtailed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The gathering together of several groups was clearly against the spirit and the requirements of the law, so no 'Camps’ were held during the year under review.
As a result of having to suspend the normal activities, the Trust was able to secure a Government Grant toward the loss of income.
## **Chairman’s Report - Misterton Site.**
Although the principal activities at the Misterton site were curtailed because of the Covid-19 leisure restrictions (see below), the opportunity was taken during the summer (when restrictions were eased sufficiently,) to carry out further improvements to the old ‘hay loft’ - work that begun during 2019. The internal walls, floors, and a new electrical installation were completed. This was in addition to the normal maintenance activities.
Some additional refurbishment work has been carried out on the washing up facilities, which were in urgent need of repair. This necessitated a complete new roof and strengthening to rear wall. If the Trust is permitted to restart regular activities further work on this building will have to be carried out to complete the refurbishment, including fitting some new sinks.
## **Chairman’s Report - Camping Activities**
As indicated earlier in this report, the normal camping activities have been curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic and there has been no such activity this year. Many people had taken advantage of an ‘early booking’ offer had to be contacted concerning their payment of a deposit.
The vast majority agreed to allow these to be carried over into 2021 in the hope that such activities can return. The majority, however, chose to allow such payments paid to be regarded as a gift.
A similar fate befell the Focus weekend, normally held in November. The owners of the facility at Bassenfeil Manor graciously agreed to carry over the deposit already paid forward into 2021.
## **Financial Matters**
Full details of the accounts are given in the accompanying Receipts and Payments Account, together with Payments Analysis. The Trust are indebted to the many regular donors whose contributions have allowed essential costs to be met (Eg., utility costs). As in previous years this has allowed for tax to be reclaimed where the donor is a taxpayer under the Gift Aid scheme. A one-off grant from the Government's Covid-19 Support Scheme was also received. Other gifts have not been as many during 2020, resulting once again in an excess of expenditure over income. Nevertheless, the Trust has ended the financial year with a reasonable balance.
At the end of the year, the Trust had no outstanding debts or loans.
