The Nightingale Centre (Unitarian) Trading as The Nightingale Centre Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

.

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 ofIreland (FRS 102) (effective | January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Object of the Charity is for the benefit of the public, to further the religious and other charitable work of the Unitarian and Free Christian Churches including:

a) the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, financial hardship or other disadvantage; and

b) the provision of facilities for the education of students ofeducational establishments.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

the last 12 months have seen some significant changes in the management of The Nightingale Centre. At the beginning of October 2023, we were looking forward to working with our new Centre Manager, Kathryn Breen, who moved into ber role in mid-October. Kathryn has now been in post for a full year and has managed to get to know the Centre, the management committee, the staff. and the guests with all the eccentricities that are part and parcel of life at the Centre and the variety of people who stay and activities that take place. More on the these later.

We are grateful to Kathryn for persevering when faced with the many challenges that are inevitable in managing staff, ensuring that guests enjoy a high standard of service whilst maintaining an old building to comply with modern health and safety standards and new thinking on our green credentials.

There have been several other changes in our staff team during the year which have contributed to the challenges for Kathryn, the management committee and the staff team. As ever, we are very grateful to our staff and volunteers who have stepped when needed to fill the gaps and ensure that the guests’ experience remains of high quality.

Once again guest bookings have increased with new groups coming for the first time and often becoming regulars, booking ahead for future years. We bost a diversity of bookings in addition to the regular ones of Winter Walking, Sunnner School, Foy Conference, Unitarian Music Society, Christmas weekend and so many others.

‘This year we also hosted an Open Gardens weekend under the National Garden Scheme programme. Although attendance was quite low partly due to the weather at the end of August, the gardens looked wonderful and were greatly admired by those who did come. It was a delight to see local visitors mingling with those from further afield wandering around the gardens and sitting chatting with drinks and delicious cakes looking out at the views from the sun lounge and patio. Special thanks must go to Sam, June and their team for working throughout the summer to ensure the gardens were at their beautiful and colourful best for the weekend. Thanks also to the staff and volunteers who enthusiastically rolled up their sleeves to help with running the weekend’s activities.

We have many crafi and activity groups of different types including art, needlework, music, walking, and even dry stone walling. An increasing number ofretreat and meditation groups also find the Centre perfect for their needs with its relaxed welcome, delicious food and beautiful and peaceful surroundings.

We continue to welcome school groups too, many of which have been coming to the Centre for many years. Indeed it is not unknown for a teacher leading a school group to have been to the Centre as a pupil in the past!

The income from all these groups helps to support the charitable work of the Centre including the Send a Child to Hucklow weeks which again increased in number giving

over 300 children from inner cities the opportunity to experience our beautiful Centre and the countryside surrounding it for the first time, to have fun. eat well and make memories which will be with them forever. They also go home with a cuddly teddy with thanks to the many people who donate them to the Old Chapel (Unitarian) in the village and the members and staff who ensure they are clean and tagged with a loving message for their new owner.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

A recent large legacy from a donor who wished to ensure the Centre continued to be available and accessible to those under 18, has helped the management committee to take steps to future proof and improve the building and facilities and offer lower rates for some of our younger visitors.

During the year a significant governance change took place in The Nightingale Centre.

As background, the Charity Commission has been promoting the use of Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) status tor charities in general for some time. This status simplifies how charities can enter contracts, including contracts of employment, without carrying the administrative burden of dual Companies House and Charity Commission registration and regulation. A governance review of The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GA) resulted in the Executive Committee of the GA (EC), as trustees of the GA, deciding to work towards achieving CIO status for the GA.

At the start of the year, the members of the EC were also the Trustees of The Nightingale Centre, although the Centre has always been a separate and distinct charity from the GA and has a different Charitable Object. With the GA seeking to move to CIO status, the EC, acting as Trustees of The Nightingale Centre, chose to review the position of The Nightingale Centre charity as well.

Both the EC and The Nightingale Centre Management Committee, after seeking advice and subsequent approval of the Charity Commission, felt that it would be best to combine the trustee roles with the active management of the Centre by transferring the trusteeships of The Nightingale Centre from the EC to the current Management Committee. The transfer took place by a resolution of the EC, as trustees of The Nightingale Centre, on 31 August 2024.

The new trustees were appointed immediately on 31 August (with the exception of Jenny Jacobs, who is a memberofthe EC but also remained a Trustee by virtue of being the EC link on the Management Committee). The new Managing ‘Trustees feel that this change brings trustee oversight and our final responsibility for the management of the Centre closer to the day-to-day operations of the Centre and will make us stronger in future.

However, we also want to state as strongly as we can that The Nightingale Centre remains a Unitarian charity. There has been no change in the Charitable Object which defines us, and we remain proud of our links with the national movement.

Yo reinforce these links, the Managing Trustees intend to seek a new form of GA relationship which will allow The Nightingale Centre to be a full member of GA in its own right. and we understand that the EC are amenable to this proposal, The Managing Trustees will also seek to move to CIO status for the Centre. When CIO status is achieved, The Nightingale Centre will have a wholly new governing document. As part of this governing document we intend to give the EC, as Trustees of the GA, the right to nominate at least one Trustee for The Nightingale Centre at all times.

So what of the year to come? Last year we reported on plans for some major projects ongoing or in the pipeline. These included updating our technology (including wifi access), improvements to our electricity supply infrastructure to accommodate a greener option to the present oil heating system, roof improvement to eliminate valley gutter problems and increasing the number of en-suite bedrooms. Some have been completed, some are still ongoing as we learn about the ever changing technologies which are available to us to achieve our goals.

We are now in a position to go ahead with some of them including installing electric car chargers in the car park and increasing ihe number of en-suite bedrooms. It will be a challenge to manage these projects without closing the Centre but we are confident that our loyal and hard working staff will, with the support of the Committee, now Board, members work around the logistical and practical disruptions to continue to provide excellent service to our guests.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

it is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Charity, at a level that equates to approximately one year's unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs and to respond to emergency maintenance costs which arise from time to time. Unrestricted funds were maintained at this level throughout the year together with sufficient funds to cover the cost of the building development.

Financial Review

Sathryn Breen has settled into her centre manager role admirably. One major achievement has been building her enthusiastic staff team who are fully committed to providing a quality service to our guests. Recruiting sufficient employees to match customer demand has resulted in a significant increase in wage costs. Inevitably even though we increased our prices by 10%, in common with other hospitality venues, the increase in operational costs, for example food, resulted in overall expenditure rising by over 20%. Income from our Barleycroft properties and investments, plus our strong cashflow keeps the Centre's operation as a hospitality enterprise viable.

Once again, we are grateful to our Friends of Hucklow who donated nearly £12,000. Two legacies totalling £75,724 have been ringienced for improvements to the Centre’s facilities.

We are proud of attracting a diverse range of guests to enjoy the special atmosphere at the centre. Approximately 80% of whom return year after year. Bookings for the next two years are very healthy with new groups attracted by our competitive prices and attractive setting.

Kathryn’s future focus is to increase the number of guests visiting the Centre and to develop exciting new initiatives to bring in more income.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Organisational structure

Chere has been a significant change in the organisation structure during the course of this financial year. Until 31st August 2024 the Managing Trustees were the persons who were the members of the Executive Committee (EC) of The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GA) who delegated the active management of The Nightingale Centre (NC) to a Management Committee. Following a governance review the EC acting as trustees of the GA made the decision to move towards achieving Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) status for the GA.

With the GA moving to CIO status. it was considered timely to regularise the position of the NC charity as well. Both the FC and the NC Management Committee, afier seeking advice and subsequent approval of the Charity Commission, felt that it would be appropriate as a first step, to combine the responsibilities of trusteeship with the active management of the Centre and transfer the trusteeships of ihe NC from the EC to the current Management Committee. This would then enable the NC to make an application to become a CIO.
