**FUTURE TERRAIN** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2021. 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 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The charity's objects ('objects') are to relieve the needs of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans and their family members by such means as the trustees may from time to time determine, in particular but not exclusively: (a) by delivering a campaign of awareness of and support to wounded service personnel and veterans and their family members; 

(b) by empowering, engaging and inspiring the disabled and disadvantaged community by the provision of training, development and assistance to wounded service personnel and veterans enabling them to compete alongside able-bodied persons in challenging sporting and expedition events. 

(c) In doing so to raise public awareness of and make grants to beneficiary charities who are concerned with the relief of disabled and disadvantaged wounded service personnel and veterans and the assistance of their family members; and (d) by providing training and assistance to enable wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans to transition into civilian roles and careers. 

Defined terms: "family members" means in relation to wounded service personnel or veterans, their spouse, widow or widower and any child (including step or adopted child) living in their household or the household of their common-law spouse, life partner or civil partner. "Wounded, injured and sick service personnel" means persons who have been wounded, injured, or become sick and who have served in the armed forces of the United Kingdom and NATO; "veterans" means persons who have retired from service in the armed forces of the United Kingdom and NATO. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Volunteers** 

The charity continues to rely on volunteers as the core driver of Future Terrains charitable objectives. Future Terrain remains mindful of the imperative to balance its volunteers' goodwill, effort and time against its charitable needs, FT aims to spread out requests for support and help and does this through good communication channels. By tracking volunteer support Future Terrain tries to minimise reliance on any one individual and spread-out support on a fair basis. The trustees and management team in reporting period 2021, as per previous reporting periods, remain keen to continue the voluntary nature of its support base and volunteer management committee. This voluntary based model is seen as one of the key strengths of the charity's propositions, both to beneficiaries, benefactors, sponsors, and volunteers. 

As per disclosures in 2020 requests for support on charitable tasks are handled by the Director Operations (Volunteer) who maintains tracking and oversight on work groups and support individuals. As a charity that is run by volunteers, without any paid employees, Future Terrain relies heavily on our supporters and their selfless support. The trustees and senior leadership are as ever resolutely grateful and appreciative to all those who have helped in 2021 deliver and support the beneficiaries of Future Terrain.

**FUTURE TERRAIN** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The Covid pandemic continued to be a challenge in 2021 and the legacy operating, and risk management issue of  2020 remained (travel, masks/PPE, social distancing etc) but FT was able to adjust further and enhance its engagement model with the hindsight of the 'new normal'. As in 2020 the ways of working and safeguarding measures were a priority,  risk management and risk mitigation were at the forefront of everything they conducted, as usual, but with greater emphasis on Covid specific controls and measures. 

Future Terrain created a bespoke Covid compliant delivery plan that enabled a level of continued support, under strict parameters dictated by government, NHS, and wider FT risk management assessments. Building on the UK focussed (Covid compliant) Ibex Endeavour in 2020 Future Terrain felt well equipped to deliver elements of its wider objectives, within the constraints for Covid, and aimed to do several training exercises, certifications and a limited number of  races or a major expedition. With this in mind, FT were approached by the Invictus Games Foundation Chairman to look at delivering a specific WIS expedition in Africa focussed around mobility and well-being via a motor vehicles delivery model - Exercise Fennec Endeavour. Future Terrain engaged fully in this process and were selected to partner with the organising leadership to deliver a co-branded event that saw 24 former service personnel deploy to Morocco in Sept 2021. The team were supported by various sponsors and partners and were able to deliver a c.1500km expedition through the Sahara that was inclusive to various disabilities including, what is believed to be, the first pairing of a single amputee driver and wheelchair co-driver/navigator. This profile of 2/3rds WIS to 1/3 non-WIS resulted in a challenging but nonetheless stimulating expedition that was firmly aligned to their charitable objectives. 

Additional to this event Future Terrain provided a number of pre-event training activities prior to Fennec Endeavour, wider training packages and public engagement events in line with government guidance. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees endeavor to maintain sufficient reserves in order to ensure that funds remain available to enable Future Terrain to continue to operate in the furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Reserve's policy - The trustees endeavour to maintain sufficient reserves in order to ensure that funds remain available to enable Future Terrain to continue to operate in the furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Reserve's policy - the charity has a modest but increasing quantum (and policy) on reserves, but cash flow and cash-at-bank are aligned between the charity Ops Director and Finance team to ensure cash does not decrease below creditor liabilities. Frequent meetings are conducted between the Operational leads, Director Operations, and a trustee to ensure budget and spend are aligned to annual spend. This approach is especially critical as a delivery focussed charity where annual spend and monthly activities must stay within overall parameters to ensure smooth delivery  across the year. 

* Minimum reserves held for the year were c.>5% of annual revenue for the period. 

* The Trustees note no significant concern on financial viability for the charity due to its limited fixed costs and volunteer workforce/staffing. As per disclosures in 2020 if there are any changes in income during the period, or  going forwards, outputs and beneficiaries' support spend can be adjusted to align current sources and uses. Consultation with our treasurer confirmed this. 

* The charity's main source of funds in 2021 remain sponsorship of items, goods, and services to deliver the charities aims. Cash requirements were funded through partnership activities with minimal public donations. 

* A principal risk facing the charity would be key man risk for core volunteers who help run the charity on a day-to-day basis. The Trustees mitigate this risk through the distribution of tasks and requests (via the Operations Director) to ensure no undue burden or reliance on any one individual.

**FUTURE TERRAIN** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The charity intends to continue reaching out to the veteran and serving armed forces' community in 2022 to support career transition, wellbeing, and recovery objectives through the medium of vehicular and engineering related endeavours. 

Future Terrain specialises in the needs of those who are Wounded, Injured and Sick service personnel who have, on the whole, gone through medical rehabilitation and are now looking to enhance their life skills and career prospects. Future Terrain will be again partnering in 2022 with other charities and partners to support and deliver a number of core expeditions. This diversification of support is seen as a key attribute to wellbeing and recovery pathways, providing a focus and outcome beyond immediate individual challenges of FTs beneficiary group. 

In focussing outwards and seeking wider collaborations, and achieving wider charitable or societal benefits, the trustees have seen a measured benefit in 2020/2021 and believe this approach will continue to yield wider benefit to the objectives and beneficiary cohort. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered on the 4th November 2016, and controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
