## **DARTMOOR ACTIVITY CENTRE** ## **Annual Report to 31[st] October 2022** The Dartmoor Activity Centre, Haytor, Newton Abbot TQ13 9XS is registered with the Charity Commissioners (Number 1177275) as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It is constituted by a Constitution and administered by a Board, currently comprising of six trustees and supported by advisory committee members: Chairman Mr. David Aggett Vice Chairman Mr. John Wood Hon. Secretary Mrs. Charlotte Badock Hon. Treasurer Mr. Kevin Grainger Trustee members: Mrs. Diana Dale, Mr. Howard Stamp. Advisory committee members: The Rev Andrew Prout BA, Messrs.’ Andrew Bearne, Daniel Bearne, Glenn Bearne, Gordon Dale and Jake Smith. Peter Billing retired and Jason Frost resigned during the year and the committee thanks them for their service over the years. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit. The object of the CIO is to encourage the training and development of character and life skills of young people by the provision of residential facilities on Dartmoor in Devon. The CIO receives a small proportion of the income from each booking of the Dartmoor Activity Centre (DAC) but is only responsible for very limited aspects of the day to day expenditure of the Centre. The CIO is also active in sourcing grants to further develop the Centre and the facilities that it is able to offer. The Centre normally caters for groups drawn from the Boys’ Brigade, The Girls’ Brigade, Scouts, The Girl Guides, Schools, Colleges, Churches and similar organisations from across the country. Due to the impact of Covid-19 and the lead time between organisations booking and using the centre, bookings in this financial year were again lower than normal but started to recover towards the end of the financial year. There also continued to be a focus on maintaining and improving the site. This has included further measures to improve the environmental performance of the Centre. The Committee sincerely thanks Mr. Iain Ashton, the Centre manager, for his ongoing vision and superb work at the Centre. This has included implementing new activities and programmes, planning and overseeing site improvements and assisting in sourcing grants and additional funding. The Trustees are reviewing their reserves policy in order to assess what the appropriate level of reserves will be going forward. Total reserves at 31 October 2022 amounted to £38,432 of which free reserves were £8,179. Looking forward, the Trustees consider that both the CIO and the DAC are in a good position. The Centre itself is in an excellent condition and bookings have continued to recover in the new financial year. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the CIO is exposed, in particular those related to the health and safety and finances (and including levels of occupancy and consideration of the post Covid-19 challenges and current global economic challenges). The trustees are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks that they have identified, including ensuring that the Charity has adequate insurance in place.
