## Association of Mountaineering Instructors 

Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2021 

We have maintained a welfare fund for member’s and their families when in distress. We have maintained ring-fenced funds for members to access to further develop work which directly supports the charitable aims for the General Public. We have secured match funding from the Alpkit Foundation for this work and increased this by over double for 2020 projects. 

## 2020/21 projects included: 

Alpkit Foundation has matched funded AMI to support 5 projects. 

Four days with a LGBT+ group, teaching multi pitch climbing; including rescues and building confidence as indecent climbers 

Four days teaching a group of clients who are all vulnerable young adults, who are affected by homelessness and the issues that surround homelessness. These are typically (but not limited to) issues linked with poverty, and mental health. 

Six days bespoke sessions to women climbers in order to make them more independent. 

Four Courses delivered of the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) courses to the the Anglesey Search & Rescue team (Môn-SAR). These courses have had a significant impact on their operational capability. 

- Charitable undertakings by individual members: There have been some great charitable interventions provided by members which have been encouraged by the Charity using the Charitable Undertakings form. These activities are either purely voluntary (no charge) or at a reduced fee. We hope these activities continue. They provide educational, healthy lifestyle and safety impacts which might not otherwise happen. 

- Underrepresented groups involvement as a professional in the outdoors: AMI set up their Equity and Diversity Working Group in 2020, and produced an AMI E+D Policy.  Ongoing work includes developing a CPD programme for members regarding unconscious bias.  Mountain Training UKI have partnered with AMI for this work. Other strategies include developing links with Outward Bound and research into the pathways for women into the higher level mountaineering awards. 

The BMC Women’s ‘Ready to Rock’ courses are provided by a female AMI instructional team. 

The AMI Charity tender fund has a focus on work with minority groups at grass roots level to encourage participation at the bottom of the activity. 

AMI sit on the BMC Equalities group . 

## Achievements and Performance 

In Partnership with the Chris Walker Trust the AMI have trained 19 Instructors in higher level Avalanche Assessment skills. This has been passed onto the general public by these instructors.

Fundraising has been targeted to gain match funding from Alpkit Foundation for members charitable works. This has been successful 

Investment performance against objectives 

Investment has increased and returns are being shown, this will continue in the following years. 

## Financial Review 

The Charity is financially secure in terms of operations and has increased it’s potential via Alpkit Foundation relationship. The total income for 2020/21 is £84,330 (2019/20: £95,796) and the total expenses for 2020/21 is £80,008 (2019/20: £82,979). The charity, with the aid of sound financial management and the support of both its members and trustees, reports an increase in reserves of £21,905 in 2020/21after an unrealised gain on investments of £17,583. This compares to an increase of £5,057 in 2019/20. 

## Reserves Policy 

The policy for maintaining Reserves for the Association is as follows: 

£10k – contingency for the emergency Working Groups. 

£30k – two year's running costs. 

£20k – contingency for failure to attract sponsorship. 

£40k – costs for two AGMs and Autumn Conferences. 

The Association will therefore maintain a minimum Reserve of £100k and this Policy will be reviewed on an annual basis. The funds will be invested in accordance with the following Investment Policy. General reserves at the year end stood at £182,429 of which those invested according to the investment policy of the charity amounted to £114,269. 

## Investment Policy 

We have invested in a peer to peer lending scheme with a small amount of the reserve aiming to make the investment repay only enough to combat low interest rates and inflation and stabilise reserves. The Trustees policy for investing the Reserves is as follows: 

40% will be held in peer to peer lending namely Zopa. 

60 % will be invested in stocks and shares. 

The Trustees will either decide the investments themselves or seek professional advice as appropriate

## Managing risk of harm 

The main risks facing the charity are lack of incoming funding other than membership donations and it being a young and inexperienced charity at this stage. Howevevr, these are considered to be minimal by the trustees. In carrying out the charity’s purpose to achieve public benefit the trustees have managed risk of detriment or harm to the charity’s beneficiaries or to the public in general. This has been achieved by identifying such risks where possible, minimising them and making sure any harm that might arise is of a minor consequence to the carrying out of such purpose. 

Contribution made by volunteers 

30 volunteers donated 40 hours of time. This equates to £5400 

## Public benefit statement 

The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.  All charitable activities are undertaken to further the charitable purposes for the public benefit. The Trustees took advice from the Charities Commission. We have retained a group of solicitors specialising in Charities to review our Governance and have implemented those changes. 

Plans for Future Periods and impact of COVID 19 on the activities of the charity and its going concern status. 

The covid-19 reduced membership by 100 (c10%).  However good housekeeping and initiatives to retain members (eg: monthly direct debit payments) helped mitigate the impact. 

## Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities 

The trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company 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 expenditureof the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

c) make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

d) state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

Association of Mountaineering Instructors Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 31 March 2021 

## 1 Accounting policies 

## a) Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Association of Mountaineering Instructors is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England with registration number 08014488. Its registered office address is Siabod Cottage, Capel Curig, Conwy, Clwyd, Wales, LL24 0ES. The accounts are presented in GBP rounded to £1. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. 

## b) Public benefit entity 

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## c) Going concern 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

Key judgements that the charitable company has made which have a significant effect on the accounts include calculation of deferred income, prepayments and valuation of investments. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## d) Income 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## e) Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## f) Fund accounting 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.  Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. 

10 



Association of Mountaineering Instructors Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 31 March 2021 

## g) Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activties undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading 

## h) Allocation of support costs 

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned based on staff time. 

## i) Operating leases 

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## j) Listed investments 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing 

quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities and any excess of fair value over the historic cost of the investments will be shown as a fair value reserve in the balance sheet.  Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments. 

## k) Stocks 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes transport and handling costs.  Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation.  Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks.  Donated items of stock, held for distribution or resale, are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market. 

## l) Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## m) Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.  Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users. 

## n) Creditors and provisions 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
