SALFORD CHILDREN’S HOLIDAY CAMP Year ended 31[st] March 2021
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
Objectives and Activities
The charity’s object is to provide free holidays for children who would not otherwise have a holiday away from home. Practically this is to provide a holiday for the disadvantaged children of the City of Salford and the surrounding area, who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience a lovely social and educational visit to the sea. The City of Salford is as constituted on 1[st] April 1974.
The charity owns the land and buildings in Prestatyn, North Wales which are used for residential accommodation for schools and other users, with provision of meals etc if required.
In the previous financial year a total of 726 visitors stayed at Camp including 418 young people from the City of Salford and their teachers, plus 61 disadvantaged young people from other areas.
The Camp planned to grow these figures again during 2020/2021, however Covid-19 has resulted in closure for much of the financial year. From Summer 2021 bookings have restarted and we look forward to a more settled twelve months ahead of us.
Public benefit
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Governance
The charity is governed by a conveyance dated 22[nd] September 1928 and a Scheme of 17 May 1976 as amended 25 March 2008.
Trustees are appointed as required and supported by a management committee which consists of volunteers, some of those whom work strategically in fund raising, and publicising the camp, those whom directly impact on the organisation, administration and management of the Camp, and together confirm the prioritisation on the funds raised in maintaining and developing the facilities and presentation of the site and buildings.
A full review of our governance is overdue and will be prioritised in the coming year, this to include the potential conversion to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
