## **DARTMOOR ACTIVITY CENTRE** 

## **Annual Report to 31[st] October 2025** 

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. 

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 organisations including The Boys’ Brigade, The Girls’ Brigade, Scouts, Girl Guides, Schools, Colleges, Churches and similar organisations from across the country.  The Centre was used by groups for a variety of activities during the year. There also continued to be a focus on maintaining the Centre to a high standard. 

The Committee sincerely thanks Mr. Iain Ashton, the Centre manager, for his ongoing vision and superb work at the Centre. This has included continuing to develop activities and programmes, planning and overseeing site maintenance 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 2025 amounted to £46,807. Free reserves were only £127. However, these have been boosted since the year end and the Charity has also been notified that it has been awarded a £10,000 legacy. 

Looking forward, the Trustees consider that both the CIO and the DAC are in a satisfactory position. The Centre itself is also in an excellent condition and bookings have been relatively stable. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the CIO is exposed, in particular those related to the health and safety, trustee succession and finances (and including levels of occupancy and consideration of global economic and environmental challenges and the pressures on school funding). 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.
