Annual Report 2022
2022 was our first real 'return to normal' year following the pandemic, with the site open to visitors and a return to typical activity levels.
As usual, camping and adventurous activities took place across the whole year and we welcomed the usual mix of youth groups including Scouts, Guides, Boys Brigade, Girls Brigade, lifesaving groups like St John Ambulance, religious youth groups, Council youth groups and home education groups, with a mix of local, national and international visitors. Adventurous activity birthday parties also remained popular.
As this was the first full year after the pandemic we tried to run things normally but were cautious not to undertake any substantial projects at the site until things fully stabilised, so spending was limited to on-going maintenance activities.
The summer season, which is our peak season, was strong, with local groups making good use of the facilities from spring through to autumn and the summer holidays were very busy with the usual summer camps.
It was great to see the site fully operational again in 2022 and to welcome so many visitors getting back outdoors and challenging themselves, bringing skills for life to so many young people from so many different backgrounds.
From a financial perspective the site did well, making a profit of c£36k.
