Association of Mountaineering Instructors
Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2023
We have supported the inaugural Climb Out LGBT+ Climbing Festival by providing 5.5 AMI Instructors to work on the event. Each Instructor gave 2 days of their time which equates to £2200 and 11 days of support in developing LGBT+ climbers.
ClimbOut 2023 total attendance was 209 people:
159 ticket holders, 32 instructors, 12 partner representatives, 5 speakers, and 1 film maker.
We have maintained a ring-fenced fund for AMI members to access, so that they can further develop work which directly supports the AMI charitable aims for the General Public. To this end we have again secured match funding from the Alpkit Foundation for this work for 2022/2023.
Additionally
-
We offered the Women’s Trad festival funding of £5200 to support Instructors working on the Event. However, the organisers of this event decided to not run it for a year due to the time and energy commitment it requires. We are hoping to be able to support the event again when it is revived next year.
-
We also offered the Irish Womens Climbing Festival £1200 to support Instructors working on the Event. However, the organisers could not source the Instructors required.
Charitable undertakings by individual members: There have again been some great charitable interventions provided by members who are encouraged to undertake charitable ventures and to submit reports to the Association using a Charitable Undertakings Report form. These activities are either purely voluntary (no charge) or at a reduced fee to the end user. They provide important educational, healthy lifestyle and safety interventions for the end users.
AMI’s support for other under-represented groups:
AMI set up their Equity and Diversity Working Group in 2020, and produced an AMI Equity and Diversity Policy. Work in this area continues, including developing a Continuous Professional Development programme for members. This Group has representation on the British Mountaineering Council’s Equity Steering committee. Mountain Training United Kingdom and Ireland also work with AMI in this arena, and both organisations are in regular communication.
The British Mountaineering Council’s womens’ ‘Ready to Rock’ courses continue, and are provided by an all-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 entry level of the activity.

Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2023
Achievements and Performance
In Partnership with the Chris Walker Trust, AMI paid £600 for 2 Avalanche Assessment skills courses for AMI Members. This specialist knowledge has been passed onto the general public by those instructors who attended.
Multiple volunteers have visited schools, climbing clubs, and other public groups, promoting the health and well being potential of the outdoors.
The Association delivered 15 out of 17 goals for the year as outlined in the current Delivery Plan.
Fundraising has been targeted to gain match funding from Alpkit Foundation for members charitable works.
This has been successful performance as expected against objectives.
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 2022/2023 is £117,282 (2021/22: £87,385) and the total expenses for 2022/23 is £118,735 (2021/22: £100,699). Due to increased expenditure on AGM costs, chair, development officer and donations paid, the charity reports a net expenditure for the year of £1,453 (2021/22: £13,314). After net loss on investments of £3,095 (2021/22: net gain £10,901) the charity's reserves at the year end 2022/23 stood at £175,468, decreased from £180,016 at the end of year 2021/22.
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 £175,468 (2021/22: £180,017) of which those invested according to the investment policy of the charity amounted to £134,141 (2021/22: £136,192).
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:
30% will be held in peer to peer lending
70% will be invested in stocks and shares
The Trustees will either decide the investments themselves or seek professional advice as appropriate. Currently, reserves of £134,141 have been invested in a 35% - 65% split between peer to peer lending and stocks and shares respectively. The current investments largely adhere to the above percentages

Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2023
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. However, 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.
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.
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.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
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.

Association of Mountaineering Instructors
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
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.
