## **Chair's Report for 2021**
The second year of the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to shape the team's activities and its challenges. Changes to public behaviour and the lack of overseas holidays are probably responsible for the team experiencing its busiest ever year. The team responded to 124 call outs over the year, over 80 of which were rescues. This was an exceptional level of demand on the team's services and resources, being more than double the number of incidents in the previous year (2020) and nearly 40% more than the team's previous busiest year.
The operational demands on the team were at times compounded by the extreme stress the local NHS system was experiencing throughout the year, in particular the strain the local ambulance service was under. This often meant that while the team could respond promptly and effectively there was often not an ambulance available to transfer the patient to definitive care. Team members have shown incredible commitment, enabling the team to always provide an effective response when requested by the statutory services.
The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and the operational stress on the team meant it was a challenging year again for fundraising activities. The team responded to these challenges by developing new sources of regular funding and through continuing to develop the new Support Team, the members of which have proven invaluable in contributing to a wide range on non-operational activities.
Team management has mitigated the impact of the reduced income by continuing to reinforce its strategic planning systems, ensuring that the team has effectively managed its spending to prioritise core activities and the meeting of its main objectivities. This careful management has enabled the team to maintain a sound financial footing and to continue to develop core areas requiring capital expenditure, particularly through investing in additional equipment to ensure ongoing operational readiness when responding to multiple call outs, while continuing to plan for the replacement of our key off-road vehicles. The effects of COVID-19 on the team, and on individual members, has been profound and has impacted the motivation and cohesiveness of the team. To address this, the team conducted a professionally devised survey of members, followed by a series of facilitated workshops, to develop better understandings of the attitudes of individual members to the team and to volunteering. The outcomes of this process have been incredibly valuable in shaping team policy and steering future direction. They have already been fundamental in revising the team's membership procedures.
Looking to the future, the team has resumed recruitment of new members. The training members recruited during the 2019/20 winter were significantly disrupted by the pandemic, and subsequently no new trainees were accepted in 2020/21. Towards the end of 2021, however, applications from prospective trainee members were welcomed again, with the selection process arranged for early 2022.

## **Report of the Trustees (continued) for the period ended 31st December 2021**
## **RESPONSIBILTIES OF THE TRUSTEES**
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit for that period.
In preparing these 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 in-appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 2016. The trustees 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.
Signed on behalf of the trustees.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the period ended 31st December 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of accounting**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Fund accounting**
Separate restricted funds are maintained for income and expenditure receivable and payable for specific projects as specified by the source of the funds. The General Fund is maintained to account for all monies received which are not restricted and this fund is used at the discretion of the trustees.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis which is as the liability is incurred. Expenditure includes the VAT that cannot be recovered. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the charitable trading.
## **Fixed assets**
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Motor vehicles
30% reducing balance over 10yrs.

**SCARBOROUGH & RYEDALE MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM**
**Charity Number 1174125**
I report on the accounts of Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team for the year ended 31st December 2021 which are set out on pages 5-13.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the "2011 Act") and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements;
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
