## **Chair's Report for 2022**
After the turbulence of the last few years, 2022 was very much a return to normal for the team across a number of areas of activity. Operationally we had some relief from the record level of call outs responded to in 2022, but still experienced our fifth busiest year with a total of 79 incidents. 54% of responses were to rescue injured people who were unable to reach care without our assistance. Searches for lost or vulnerable missing people made up to 23% of callouts, with the remaining 23% of responses including assisting the police in scene access, using our PhoneFind technology to assist our local police and ambulance service, assisting North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service tackling a moorland fire, and providing a range of civil aid Reponses in periods of extreme weather.
We continue to feel the impact of the pressures within the NHS, with the team having to manage casualties during lengthy waits for ambulance responses. Our skills and remit continue to be valued and respected by the ambulance service.
The Team's operational resilience has been supported by the successful recruitment and training of new operational trainees. Ten trainees began their passage to operational status in January 2022 and eight of these are now part of the on-call team, fully trained in the core skills for a mountain rescue team member and responding to callouts of all types. These trainees will progress to full membership of the team over the first half of 2023.
Fundraising has returned to a more normal pattern in 2022, with the Team's challenge events forming the core of the income source over the year. A new and very successful event format was introduced this year, alongside our regular half marathon and 10km running events - a 10 hour running event based on 5km laps run once every hour. Based in Dalby Forest and organised in conjunction with Forestry England, it was very popular and allowed the team to deliver a high quality event within a smaller geographical footprint than previous events. This run and the partnership with the Forestry England , will be continuing in 2023.
Now well established, the Support Team members have begun to take a lead on delivering the income the team needs to maintain its operational capacity and capability. This has helped reduce the demands on the operational volunteers, which had previously been a stress point in the team.
Following on from processes developed through the Covid pandemic the Team Management Committee has continued to apply a strategic decision-making process to all spending within the Team. A focus for the year has been identifying the future vehicle needs of the Team, as our two Land Rovers approach the end of their operational lives. The replacement of these key assets will be the focus of fundraising over the coming 12-24 months.
The Trustees continue to support best management practices within the team, with efforts made over 2022 to establish a robust risk register, encompassing a broad scope of organisation and operational risk management. It is hoped this will prove a sound tool for team management and planning in 2023.
Looking ahead, the team will again recruit new operational members in 2023. It is important that the membership of the team is refreshed and supported by maintaining adequate numbers of operational and support volunteers, ensuring that the load on members is well spread. The members and their motivation to respond for and support the Team, are our key asset. Members have been supported through the ongoing development of individual members and also by the reinforcement of our welfare processes - without engaged and motivated members the team would be unable to fulfil its charitable aims, so it is vital that their needs are considered in all aspects of team activity.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial Summary**
The activities of the charity are summarised on the Statement of Financial Activities which shows a deficit during the period of £4,555 and a closing cash position of £167,478.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the Trustees that the organisation shall hold a reserve fund approximately equal to two year's running costs. The Trustees shall review the amount held in a designated reserves on an annual basis.
## **Trustees Expenses**
Trustees are only reimbursed for travel expenses incurred on behalf of the charity. This is travel for meetings with external organisations only and not for internal trustee meetings.
## **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 2022**
## **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 2022 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.
