|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|Our Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)<br>was set up in 2021 in anticipation of the closure<br>of RAF Scampton and its RAF managed Heritage<br>Centre in December 2022.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|RAF Scampton's Heritage Centre currently<br>operates with volunteer tour guides under the<br>oversight of the RAF. It is due to be vacated by<br>the RAF by 31 Dec., 2022 and be sold as one lot<br>by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation<br>(DIO). Scampton Heritage Group has established<br>positive links with the DIO, RAF Heritage Branch,<br>the Planning Authority and the principal bidders<br>to establish a viable operating model for the CIO<br>once the station is closed. The model currently<br>sees the Charity as subject matter experts (SME)<br>to the new owners on heritage matters and as<br>tour guides to the whole site that will owned by<br>the successful bidder. We intend to negotiate a<br>per tour per person contribution to the charity<br>from tours that will be reinvested in furthering<br>our charitable objects with community groups<br>free of charge.|



**Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|The CIO is now positioned to start operating as<br>soon as the new owners of the RAF Scampton<br>site are identified by the DIO.|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|Fundraising has been restricted to the receipt of<br>donations from visitors to the existing heritage<br>centre upon explanation of the CIO's mission for<br>the future.|
|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|No investments have yet been made, except in<br>terms of development of the future operating<br>model.|
|Other||Nil|





## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|The year 2021-22 has been a planning year with<br>no delivery possible until the RAF withdraws<br>from RAF Scampton. No expenditure has been<br>incurred by the CIO and only ad-hoc donations<br>have been received.|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|It has not been necessary to develop a policy for<br>reserves at this stage. This policy will be<br>developed in the subsequent operating year<br>once the operating model is tested.<br>Due to banking restrictions caused by the<br>COVID-19 pandemic, opening a charity bank<br>account has been problematic. Barclays' Bank<br>has now re-opened applications and assured the<br>CIO that its new application will be processed by<br>mid-2022. This will enable further reserves to be<br>securelyaccumulated.|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£340.00 is held in reserve.|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|Not Applicable|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|Not Applicable|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|The CIO expects to continue as a going concern<br>as its planned operating model has no liabilities<br>associated with it: no employees and no<br>expenditure unless appropriate funds are in<br>place.|

|---|---|---|
|You may choose to include further statements||where relevant about:|
|The charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising)|Para 1.47|Currently, the principal sources of funds are<br>individuals, sympathetic to our Charitable<br>Objects, who choose to donate. In future we<br>expect to receive a minimum per capita<br>donation from participants in our guided tours<br>of the ex-RAF Scampton but these tours won't<br>take place until 2023. (Tours of RAF Scampton<br>currently take place but under the auspices of<br>the RAF rather than Scampton Heritage Group<br>(CIO). No charge is levied)|
|Investment policy and<br>objectives including any<br>social investment policy<br>adopted|Para 1.46|No investment policy is necessary at the<br>moment for the reasons explained above.|
|A description of the principal<br>risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The principal risk to the now planned operating<br>model is that the new owners of the RAF<br>Scampton site are unsympathetic to the CIO's<br>Objects and do not want our volunteers to<br>conduct tours or provide subject matter<br>expertise. However, these risks are mitigated<br>planning requirements that stipulate specific<br>heritage objectives and by the relationships we<br>have established with key bidders.<br>Moreover, the Charity itself is not threatened by<br>any unwillingness of site owners to facilitate our<br>activities as our operating model can be adopted<br>to off-site activities.|
