PERIOD FROM 1 MARCH 2021 TO 31 JULY 2022
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Overview
The year end was changed from Febuary 28 to July 31 to reflect the operating calendar of the academic year of the college and so this report covers the period 1 March 2021 to 31 July 2022.
The charity had a positive fourth year, launching further education courses in 2021 and recruiting a second cohort in autumn 2022 and a full short course programme in 2022. Its degree programme was validated by Cardiff Metropolitan University and work undertaken to launch student recruitment for the launch of that in 2023.
Income began to be diversified during the period, with philanthropic fundraising still playing a major role but student fee income rising as a proportion alongside short course revenues. A social investment raise was initiated in 2022, forecast to complete later in the calendar year.
Delivery
Further Education
During the financial period BMC commenced further education teaching with two NVQ level 2 courses validated by Neath Port Talbot College (NPTC Group) and accredited by City and Guilds.
16 students were enrolled for the academic year Sept 2021/2.
The same two level 2 courses were planned for 2022/3 and an increase on that number was forecast for September 2022/3.
Higher Education
The BMC degree BA (Hons) Sustainable Futures: Arts, Ecology and Systems Change was validated by our academic partner Cardiff Metropolitan University in June 2022 and admissions launched at the end of the financial year for September 2023 entry.
Short Courses
A full programme was resumed in 2022 after limitations due to Covid-19. Over 1000 people participated in a range of online and in person one day and multi-day courses. Offerings were directed at a range of different audiences – young people with the free Ecological Futures Camp sponsored by Welsh Water, and adults with retreats. Development was undertaken to broaden audiences both internationally and to corporate and organisational clients.
Income was from a range of sources – grant funding from Powys for adult education, a pay what you can fee structure, corporate sponsorship and from the Ashley Family Foundation and full commercial fees.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity was registered with The Charity Commission, met the requirements of registration and has had regard to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit during the period.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
PERIOD FROM 1 MARCH 2021 TO 31 JULY 2022
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Black Mountains College Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BLACK MOUNTAINS COLLEGE PROJECT
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the period ending 31 July 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 17.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD FROM 1 MARCH 2021 TO 31 JULY 2022
1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Black Mountains College Project meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, despite the significant uncertainty being caused by the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. Whilst the Trustees expect there to be an impact on the charity's operation and reserves in the coming months and years, the charity has sufficient reserves to be able to meet these challenges.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
Incoming resources
Voluntary income including donations, gifts and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when:
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or, where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions, is recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided). Grant income included in this category provides funding to support activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income is deferred when grants are received in advance of the event to which they relate.
Volunteers and donated services and facilities
The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Contractual arrangements and performance related grants are recognised as goods or services supplied. Other grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that results in the payment being unavoidable.
Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of advocacy services and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to this activity.

Capital grants are matched with the relevant expenditure as and when incurred. Until the expenditure is incurred, the grants are carried forward.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation rom a past event that will probably result in the transfer of fund to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
