## REPORT AND ACCOUNTS
for the year ended 31 DECEMBER 2022
Independent Examlnerfs Report to thè Trustees of
.8CherS Coppbce Scout Campsite
I report on the accounts of 8utchers Coppice Scoul Campsite for the year ended 31 December 2022. which
are set out on pages 2 to 6.
Respertive responsibilitie5 of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider
that an audit Is not required for thi5 year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Actl and
that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibits.ty to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under
section 14515llbl of the Charities Act), and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independènt examlnees report
My examination wa5 carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting record5 kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts prespnted with those records. It also includes the consideration of any unusual iterns OT
disc105yres in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustee5 concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all rhe evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given 35 to whether the account5 present a 'true and fa5r' view and the report is
limited to those matters set out in the statèment below.
Independent examinerf5 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
lilwhich gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act., and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting recordsand comply with the accounting
requirernents of the Charities Act
have not been 4ret', or
12lto which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understandin8 of the
accounts to be reached.

## 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.
