Trustees Annual Report Itontinued)
for the period ended 31 March 2023
Achievements and Performance
During 2022123 we said 'frdrewell' to 2 of our on-stte warden5, Jake Westmoreland and Ellie Rosca.
However, after a good recruitment process which brought forward several very strong candidates
the trustees were pleased to appoint Jonny Woodall and Hanna Leadbeater to replace them.
Jonny and Hanna started in mid-Augu5t 2022 and were given something of a 'bapt15m of fire, as the
centre was faced with rapidly rising energy prFces. increasin8 Costs due to high inflation and falling
booking levels as a result of the cost of living pressures reducing disposable income in Autumn 2022.
Thanks to the efforts of the wafdens. Westwood has survived this threatening period through a
diversification of our client base with a number of new 8roups coming to stay at the centre. We are
also seeing the centre used more a5 a wedding reception venue as people look for somethin8
elther different to or cheaper than traditional venues. As mentioned in previous reports. the
trustees are mindful that their objective is not to compete with local hotels. but to offer a place
for Christian study and retreat as a peaceful sanctuary.
In February 2023 the centre suffered a disastrous flooding in one of the flats when a slow leak in
a pipe became a major leak. Tracing the issue became a difficult task and involved ripping out a
bathroom. lifting a lot of flooring and knockin8 down a wall. Eventually the problem was resolved
but the repair work. reinstating a bathroom and the loss of booking income durin8 the work, which
fell partly into the 2022123 financial year and partly into the 2023124 year, would have created
major shortfall in our operatin8 cashflow. Thankfully, thls has been covered by an insurance clalm
received in the 2023124 financial year.
The trustees believe that due to the Wbder client base and an Increased level of bookings, the centre
remalns viable, desplte continuing Cost p￿$S￿re$.
Future Plans and Develo
men
Faced with much higher ener8V Costs and increasin8 mortgage payments, the trustees have not had
the cash available to invest In the planned improvernents. However, the need to improve energy
efficiency and sustainability remains paramount and will be progressed as quick￿ as possible. We
continue to refurbish rooms as necessary in order to improve the standard of accommodation
offered and ensure that it is appropriate to. and safe for. cUr￿n1 requirements.
Financial R
vi
Full details of the flnancial transactions for the 12 months to 31 March 2023 are contained in the
attached accounts. The income for the year on unrestricted funds was £78.875. which was a ￿ductIon
of 3% compared to the previou5 12 months, with fewer bookings due to inflation and cost of living
pressures. After deducting expenditure of £98,664, the net result was a deficit taken to unrestricted
funds of £19,789. There were no transactions during the year on restricted funds for our roof appeal,
which stands at £1,967.
Reserves Poli
The CIO retains modest cash ￿serveS to meet expendrture as incurred. The trustees are aiming
to increase the reserves held in order to provide better protection against fluctuations in income
or expenditure of the charity, with the objective of holding cash reserves sufficient to cover up to
6 months of operatin8 Costs. The total unrestrirted reserves held as at 31 March 2023 were £235,489.

Risk Mana
ement
The trustees consider that there are four key rlsks to the fund .
Deterioration of the buildin
Any restriction being placed on the charity's activities:
Increased costs of workin
Unexpected10s5 of warden staff.
The risk to the building is mitigated by the on80ing maintenance programme
and regular inspections by the wardens
The Trustees are not aware of any immediate threat from the other risks, but review
the situation at each meetlng. At the end of the financial year. the major risk facin8
the centre remains the increase In ener8y and operatin8 costs and rising interest rates.
Not only will this force up our operating costs. it is likely to reduce the disposable
income of many potential guests and reduce our visitor numbers.
Statement of Trustees, Res
onsibilitles
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financlal year, whlch
show a true and falr view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that
period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Selert suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make adjustrnents and estlmates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended
practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained In
the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the goin8 concern basis. unle55 it is not appropriate
to presume that the charty will continue in operational existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting record5 which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial posltion of the charlty and to enable them to ensure that the
financial ststements comply with the Charities Art 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the asset5 of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of
fraud and other irregularities.
