**Quaker Community Bamford www.quakercommunity.org.uk Charity Number 1178584 Registered Address Quaker Community Water Lane Bamford Hope Valley Derbyshire S33 0DA email: mail@quakercommunity.org.uk**
## **Annual Report 2020**
## **Objectives and Activities**
Our aims include furthering the general religious and charitable purposes of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) by living together as a residential community and searching for ways to live out and demonstrate the Quaker Testimonies of peace, equality, truth, simplicity and sustainability. We also aim to work towards becoming a low carbon community and to protect the local natural environment through sustainable practices on our 10 acres of land.
The main way we fulfil these requirements is by offering opportunities for growth and renewal through both individual and private retreats and a program of facilitated retreats on various themes in accordance with our aims. We also offer working retreats to provide opportunities for visitors and guests to become involved in the sustainable management of our land and in growing organic food in the gardens, poly tunnel and greenhouses. Volunteers also help in the maintenance of our buildings.
The Community owns a large property, formerly the Derwent Water Board Offices in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Full community members are also resident trustees and live and work as volunteers at the centre and share the work to maintain the buildings, the land and provide all aspects of hospitality, housekeeping and administration. All our activities are evaluated by guests and visitors by written and oral feedback; we respond to and improve our practices where applicable.
The Quaker Community Bamford CIO is wholly managed by its volunteer members and trustees and has no employed staff. The charity receives no grants or funding from investments.
## **Achievements and Performance**
## **1. Retreats, Lettings and other Visitors**
The annual retreat program is organised, managed and facilitated by community members and is the main activity by which our charity fulfils its aims and objectives. Residential retreats together with working retreats provide opportunities for volunteers to live and work alongside community members. Our residential retreats include opportunities for spiritual learning, meditation, walking and creative arts. Our program of events this year started with a very successful Spiritual Journey retreat, with eight new participants together with returning guests. On the 16[th] of March 2020 we closed the Community due to Government restrictions at the outbreak of Covid 19 and remained closed for the rest of the year,
1
cancelling all our usual group bookings, self-catering guests and residential retreats. The Community however continued to function very well, living, and working together as one household.
In July 2020 the Well Dressing retreat took place with contributions from all community residents which culminated in a splendid piece of artistry. With local ‘well dressers’ unable to produce a well dressing for the village, it felt appropriate to keep the tradition alive in these difficult times and support our aim of integration and connection with the local community. Posters of our 2019 Well Dressing were submitted for an exhibition entitled ‘The Meaning of Nature’ at Sheffield Central Quaker Meeting House along with text by those who contributed to the work last year.
The Working Retreats this year were carried out by Community members, volunteers and our tenant. Working Saturdays throughout the year attracted regular supporters who attended when able within the Covid 19 guidelines. Exploring Community weekends were cancelled, as they are residential.
## **2. Management of the Community**
Meetings were held to seek ways forward to clarify the guidelines, and reassure all community members, volunteers, and tenant that we were doing all we could in prevention of C19 spread. However, in December one member did become ill with the virus, was cared for and made a strong recovery. Community members isolated themselves which prevented further spread. One member who had family illness outside the Community spent some time away as part of their loved one’s support bubble, enabled by the compassion of the Community. All were missing family contact and friends.
In 2020 we clarified that Community members have global permission from the Charity Commission to be both trustees and tenants. In 2019 the Community had explored new ways of maintaining its income and supporting its work by taking on volunteer tenants for long and short terms. This attracted three new volunteers in 2020. Due to the pandemic the plans of potential new members changed, and they were unable to join.
A professional Energy Survey was carried out highlighting the potential for savings and our commitment to practical sustainability. Lockdown gave us the opportunity to undertake whole community maintenance projects. These included:
- painting and renovating all accessible exterior windows
- stonework pointing
- renovation and repair of the gable ends on the Cottage
- replacement of secondary glazing.
- maintenance and painting of the external stairs on End House
- some room upgrades of flooring and internal decoration
- new directional signage at the end of Water Lane and Private Road signs have been erected to prevent through traffic: wear and tear of the road surface leading to the property is an ongoing maintenance issue which is the Community’s responsibility.
## External contractors were used:
- to install new boilers for the Cottage and Tack Room
- sky lantern in the Attic room repaired and renovated
- cooker hoods in the Tack Room and End House
- loft insulation in End House
2
- Energy Performance Certificates were issued for each dwelling rated C/D good overall for houses built in1902!
- And all annual checks and maintenance
All maintenance projects are guided by our commitment to sustainability and working towards becoming a low carbon community.
Stewardship of the woodland and gardens owned by the Community is a priority as set out in our charitable aims. Community members and volunteers contribute to the work of maintaining and improving the land using organic and sustainable practices. Our Spring Awakening retreat went ahead with planting and preparation of the ground, including refreshing the ‘dead hedge’. A slide show of the work is presented on our website. Six young fruit trees were purchased and planted to enhance the Forest Garden Orchard. The Parish Council contacted us regarding a concern from local residents about cyclists using a public footpath. The Community is happy to help with local initiatives and solved the problem by erecting a section of fence adjacent to a gate provided by Peak Parks.
Lockdown created the demand for extra internet connectivity, so an upgrade of our broadband was installed by a new business local provider. It took nearly the full year to complete but is a vast improvement in online connection and speed.
## **3. Community Life**
Our spirituality-based retreat Step into Stillness in May was facilitated and attended by our Community together with a day workshop in February exploring our Spiritual Life together as a Worshiping Community.
Our twice daily Meetings for Worship underpin all aspects of our lives.
Excerpt from the minutes about this day…
_“It is our hope that this shared spiritual experience will nourish us as we go about our daily lives working together as members of the Community and running the charity that is the Quaker Community Bamford. We acknowledge that friction, and the challenges of community life can sometimes be difficult, however we recognize that these are often necessary for growth. We are a work in progress. Despite the ups and downs of community life we remain committed to living and working together, practicing loving kindness, tenderness and forgiveness.”_
Community members are supported, and peer reviewed by a panel of local Quakers, known as Elderseers, one of whom facilitated three sessions on community relationships. Elderseer support has proved invaluable over the last year for some Community members. Elderseers and non-resident trustees were invited to join an online epilogue once a month during this period.
We regularly share meals together in our lovely central kitchen. It was hoped to produce a Highlights Review of 2019 this may now become a celebration of our work in Community.
Resident trustees are active in the local community in the Hope Valley some of these activities were moved online this year.
Hope Valley Local Quakers worshiped outside on our land when restrictions allowed.
Two Membership Discernments were due to take place this year. One in May, postponed for a year; and one in December which was also postponed for six months.

## **Financial Review**
Overall, 2020 was a challenging year financially, due to the Covid 19 pandemic and government restrictions, we had no income from guests after 16 March 2020. Our general fund ended with a deficit of £5,440. £4,728 was drawn from our long-term maintenance reserve fund to replace two boilers, which in a normal year would be covered by generated income. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to acquire/attract any new resident trustees.
## **Principle Funding Sources and their use**
In 2020, the principle funding source is the income from rent paid by members, volunteers and tenant. Due to the pandemic, all types of guest income were well down. The first quarter of 2020, however, was very positive financially, with a successful spiritual journaling retreat and steady income stream from self-caterers.
The generated income is used to support our charitable objects by funding maintenance, upkeep of premises and stewardship of our land, to enable us to welcome guests on spiritual and working retreats. This in turn offers opportunities for the retreat participants to share in community life and learn new skills guided by the principles of the Quaker Testimonies to equality, peace, truth, simplicity, and sustainability. All retreats held in a normal year offer opportunities for reflection and feedback so that the life of the Community continues to grow through gaining new insights into spiritual, practical, and reflective ways of living.
## **Financial Performance Going Forward**
The financial performance in 2021, especially guest income, will be significantly affected by the nature and timing of the Government easing and removing restrictions in response to the pandemic. This will make a big difference to whether we can break even or have another deficit in 2021, but it will not affect our ability to continue as a going concern. Two self-contained huts on our land are being renovated in spring 2021 for guests from 12 April 2021.
## **Risk Strategy**
The principle risks facing the charity are in bold with how these risks are managed in the bullet points below each heading.
## **Lack of full community members/ resident trustees. In 2020 we were unable to hold our usual Exploring Community weekends or hold meetings at Quaker events. In 2021 four out of the current five members are due for discernment about whether to stay or leave.**
- Have a tenant and long-term volunteers who pay rent to live here with the Community.
- Go out to Quaker Meetings in 2021 to hold events to talk about our life and work to attract new Quakers.
## **Lack of Income from guests**
- An improved website means as soon as restrictions allow, we start receiving enquiries and bookings
- We have extensive mailing lists and network of Quaker connections and supporters as Associate Members.
- When restrictions allow, we will put on a varied and attractive program of events and retreats and repeat one or more of the most popular retreats. In autumn 2021, we hope to be able to plan a full program of retreats and events for 2022.
4
## **An unsuitable person volunteers to be a community member / resident trustee**
- Potential member’s fill in two sets of questions during the joining process.
- Potential members visit us several times until all community members have had a chance to get to know them.
- Potential members have some discernment with their local Quaker Meeting. Potential members come and live here for a three month’s trial.
- We have support of Quaker network of conflict resolution skills and facilitation.
## **The building falls into disrepair**
- We manage the amount of building repair work we carry out each year in line with maintaining a balanced budget.
- Every year we have a program of maintenance; both DIY work, done by ourselves and other work by outside contractors.
## **Loss of spiritual life**
- We commit ourselves to upholding twice daily Meeting for Worship.
- We hold Closed Days and retreats for renewal and spiritual nourishment.
- Community members participate in our programmed retreats when possible.
- We have a group of external people called Elderseers to oversee the spiritual and pastoral care of the Community.
## **2020 Funds and Reserves**
The Quaker Community Bamford holds funds in reserve to:
- Cover fluctuations in income and expenditure. These include paying the whole year’s insurance premium as a lump sum.
- Allow for unexpected decreases in income, for example due to a pandemic.
- Allow for unexpected major building repairs not covered by our insurance.
- Provide a transition period if more residents leave than are replaced by new ones.
In response to the maintenance needs of our property, the trustees have been increasing our long-term maintenance reserve fund to cover the greater of six months budgeted income or six months budgeted expenditure, as in line with Charity Commission requirements. As in 2020 we drew on this reserve and did not make a general surplus to replenish it, this fund at £28,272 is not quite half (6 months of) the 2020 budget of £30,833.
All funds are unrestricted as they have been generated by us, rather than given and earmarked by donors.
In 2020 due to the disruption caused by the pandemic, all our funds reduced except for the capital assets fund which increased in 2020 mainly due to more of the mortgage having been paid off.
The capital assets fund is nearly £200,000. This money is not available for spending as it is the money locked up in the value of our land and building, equipment etc, so would not become available unless these items were sold.
## **Designated Funds**
## **2020 Projects Fund**
At the board of trustees meeting 8 December 2019 trustees decided to use the 2019 surplus for maintenance projects in 2020. This fund started with £15,100. In 2020 it
5
was spent on: energy saving work; DIY projects; repairs which had not been budgeted for; and purchasing some items, see details in table.

The **Long-term Maintenance Reserve Fund** is money set aside for larger maintenance projects. This buffer means we would not have to increase our mortgage if a larger piece of work was needed. We are building this up rather than paying off our mortgage. In 2020 £4,728 of this fund was used to replace two boilers leaving a balance of £28,272.
## **General Funds**
The general fund includes all our working capital and other money available for spending. After the 2020 deficit the balance is £37,368.
In years when there is a surplus, Trustees decide on the use and allocation of any expenditure depending on the needs at the time. With the maintenance demands of our aging property sometimes spending money on maintenance or setting it aside in the Long-Term Maintenance Reserve Fund is more urgent than building up our general fund.
At the end of 2020 we have total funds of £270,237.
## **Plans for the Future**
Attracting suitable new community members who are willing to serve as resident trustees remains an ongoing aim and the focus for 2021. We also hope to attract long term volunteers, as well as continuing with a tenant. A variety of opportunities still exist for volunteers to share in the life of the Community, these volunteering opportunities can be offered alongside our appeal for new members.
Out buildings on the land are to be developed to provide indoor accommodation for overnight stays. This work will be a considerable undertaking to establish the Glade Hut, with wood burning stove for heating, cooking hob, sofa beds, and a complete redecoration. Similarly, the Woodland Hut needs a makeover. Offering to accommodate
6
up to four people in each Hut could generate much needed independent facilities for guests to enjoy as well as Camping. Covid restriction adherence along with the health and safety of our guests is a priority, with fire and gas safety and separate toilet and washing facilities for each Hut.
We plan to take bookings for self-catering guests in the main house and on our land as soon as Covid restrictions allow.
We will review our Risk Strategy at a special meeting in 2021.
The Community’s need for members may be addressed in compiling a presentation to take to Quaker Meetings to generate interest. We could possibly use the work already completed on the Highlights 2019 presentation for use on our website and social media. More discernment is to take place in the summer 2021 at planning meeting concentrating on our long-term vision.
It is also hoped to nurture our spiritual life in running Themed Days or Experiment with Light Sessions, spiritual book reviews or guided meditations and we may seek outside facilitation to enable whole Community participation.
We have four out of five community members due for Discernment in 2021 and a review of our core values and objects will be carried out by all Trustees and Elderseers. We recognise the need to develop skills for creating a discernment process that is friendlier, more loving and kind. This could be carried out as whole group learning, online or with external facilitators.
In September 2021 we hope to plan a Program of Retreats and Events for 2022/2023 that reflect our charitable aims and objectives, in adapting to the changing world.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The trustees of the charity comprise the members who are resident within the community, and trustees appointed from other Quaker groups. No members of the charity receive pay or remuneration or are employed by the charity. Community members pay a reduced rent to live in the community in return for unpaid service supporting the aims of the charity. This rent is determined by the Rent Committee, comprised of non-conflicted trustees. Volunteers and tenants pay rents determined from time to time by the trustees. Community members receive an initial period of three months induction, which can be terminated or extended as the need arises by either party.
The charity is not affiliated to an umbrella group but does operate within the principles of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain. There are no subsidiary undertakings. Day to day decision making is undertaken by community members in regard to the running of the Quaker Community in furtherance of the charity’s objectives. For example, in providing a place of spiritual retreat, pastoral care of visitors and community members, stewardship and protection of the local natural environment.
## **Reference and Administrative details**
Trustees may seek advice from the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain governing body Britain Yearly Meeting. Weekly House Meetings guide the day to day management of the charity and records of these meetings are kept and circulated to relevant members.
CIO meetings are held quarterly, unless an extraordinary meeting of the CIO is required. All trustees may attend CIO meetings. No decisions shall be taken unless a quorum is present,
7
that is, three Charity Trustees, or the number nearest to one third of the total number of Charity Trustees, whichever is greater. Meetings are conducted in accordance with the principles of the Religious Society of Friends and the provisions of the current edition of the book of Christian discipline of the Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain as outlined in the constitution.

Annual Accounts for the year 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020
## **Note 1 Accounting Policies** (agreed at house meeting 3/3/2020)
1.1 These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value. 1.2 The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011. 1.3 These accounts have been prepared using the going concern principle, as we are continuing as a charity for the year ahead that is 2020. 1.4 The accounts have been prepared to present a true and fair view of the financial state of the charity. 1.5 Recognition of income: income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is entitled to the money and the money has been received by the time of the independent examination or is reasonably expected to be received. 1.6 Offsetting: There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses. 1.7 Donations: donations are included in the accounts when received. 1.8 Gift Aid: in 2019 we did not have a gift aid scheme. 1.9 Donated Goods: donated goods are not included in the accounts because they are second hand and because they are not sold, so therefore the value cannot reliably be measured. Donated goods usually soft furnishings such as sheets, towels and curtains and sometimes furniture. They are either used for the work of the charity or passed on to another charity. 1.10 Donated services: all the members and volunteers living at the property give a large amount of time to the work of the charity. Retreatants, guests and day visitors also donate their time to the work of the charity. All this work is not included in the accounts as it cannot be reliably measured. The value of this voluntary help is described in the trustees’ annual report. 1.11 Associate Membership subscriptions are shown in the accounts as donations, because the benefit is not material. 1.12 Governance and support costs: Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs are normally central functions and are normally allocated to activity costs. As we are a small charity, we have no central functions and only one activity cost category, so there is no need to split support costs between different activities. 1.13 Some trustees, live at the property, carry out the work of the charity (on a voluntary basis) and pay rent at some what below market rate. They live together as a community and carry out the objects of the charity. See the annual report for more details. 1.14 Deferred income: No item of deferred income is due or has been included in the accounts.
1.15 Tangible fixed assets for use by charity. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £50. They are valued at cost. Assets are depreciated using the straight line method over the following years: Land and buildings including major improvements not depreciated Refurbishments, major repairs, and cyclical maintenance 16 years Furniture and equipment 5 years (though in fact all our furniture has been donated, so there is only equipment purchased and depreciated.) 1.16 Stock: the stock of food and other consumables including cleaning materials and toilet paper are valued at the purchase cost. 1.17 Debtors: Debtors are measured at the amount due, unless receipt of the income is in doubt. See above note about income. Accrued expenses are proportioned between accounting periods. 1.18 Funds: All our funds in 2020 are unrestricted funds. Designated funds are where we have set money aside for a particular purpose.

In 2019 £5,804 was spent on legal fees, including £1,809 legal fees for our mortgage provider.
This is a one off cost transferring the land building and mortgage to the charity.
All our publicity, such as our brochure and website, is also our fund-raising as it attracts visitors, guests and resident trustees which are our main forms of income.

## **Funds**
All our funds are unrestricted. The General Fund are the funds available for spending. Designated Funds
The capital assets fund is the amount of funds tied up in land buildings and other fixed assets, as unless these items were sold, this money is not available for spending. The total of this fund is equal to the net book value of the fixed assets see note 4., less the amount of the mortgage still to be paid, see long term liabilities. The Long term Maintenance Reserve Fund is money set aside for larger maintenance projects. This buffer means we would not have to increase our mortgage if a larger piece of work needed doing. 2020 Projects is for larger cost work planned for 2020 including energy saving measures, a new lawnmower and various maintenance projects.

Independent Examiner's Report
I have examined the Income and Expenditure Account plus 8alance Sheet, which are in agreement
with the records of the Quaker Community Bamford. and have obtained all the information and
explanstions that were necessary for the review. In my opinion, the Accounts show a true and fair
view of the Community's Income and Expenditure for the year ending 31 December 2020 in stating an
excess of income over expenditure of £134
