## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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 of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects of the charity are: 

- (a) In the interest of social welfare, to improve the condition of life for disabled people and children in need 

- (b) To benefit such persons in any charitable way as the Trustees may decide. 

In practice, the Trust provides the camp site, accessible tents, equipment, buildings and facilities for individual groups and organisations catering for disabled adults and children, to camp a week at a time. The twenty-two weeks between early May and mid-September are usually fully booked each year. Numerous Special Educational Needs schools and other organisations bring their own staff, whilst open camps run by various groups according to age and interest are run entirely by volunteers. 

Throughout the year, the Trust provides facilities for work experience for older children from a SEN college. 

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. 

## _Public benefit_ 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## _Volunteers_ 

The Trust employs one paid member of staff. The majority of the charity’s work is made possible through the dedication and commitment of volunteers. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting camping activities during the open season and undertaking maintenance and improvement tasks during the closed season. The Trustees wish to record their sincere thanks for the invaluable contribution made by all volunteers.

## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **Achievements and performance** 

_Significant activities and achievements against objectives_ 

Camp Site 

The 2025 summer season saw an increase in attendance levels, reflecting continued demand for accessible camping opportunities and the value placed on Woodlarks Campsite by visiting groups. 

## Old Dormitory Floor 

The wooden suspended floor of the Old Dormitory, which has been failing in recent years, has had all rotting timbers completely removed. A new concrete floor has been installed, with a wood effect vinyl finish, providing a comfortable surface for indoor accommodation. 

## Santa’s Grotto 

December 2024 marked the successful return of the Santa’s Grotto following its closure in the previous year due to construction works. The event was well received and once again provided a safe and magical experience for children with complex needs.. The Grotto allows access to these children, who would find it impossible to visit a shopping centre-style grotto open to the general public. Each year, Father Christmas and his team of elves and reindeer see approximately 200 children during the week-long event, where each child receives a Christmas present and enjoys the sensory experience of the grotto. 

## Work Experience 

The Trust piloted a work experience programme with a partner SEND school, enabling activities to extend beyond the camping season. Along with the Santa’s grotto this supports progression towards more year-round operations.' 

## **Financial review** 

The camp site opened to campers during the summer of 2025 and the number of campers again increased in comparison to the previous year. 

Camp Fees were increased by the trustees in advance of the summer season as part of a 4-year plan to incrementally increase the proportion paid by campers and helpers from 27% to 50% of essential running costs by 2025 season. This has now been achieved and does not include the funding of development projects, or other equipment costs, which are fundraised for separately. Trustees are committed to maintaining a 50% discount of essential running costs from 2026 onwards. This approach supports the long-term financial sustainability of the Trust while maintaining affordability for campers. 

Total funds carried forward this year decreased by 1.3% to £2,670,146. This includes all cash, investments, land, buildings and other fixed assets. Of total funds carried forward, 98.14% were Unrestricted and 1.86% were Restricted. 

In January 2024 the changing rooms suffered a flood that may lead to extensive remedial work. The trust has made the necessary insurance claims and is in negotiations with its underwriters via its broker. 

## **Investment performance** 

The market value of our investments decreased by £128,871, however £124,689 is through disposals of investments to fund project work in the year. 

Income from our investments decreased by 9.36% in comparison to 2023/24 income.

## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## _Reserves policy_ 

The level of reserves, which exclude restricted and designated funds and is targeted at a level between 2-3 years expenditure on charitable activities in line with the Trust’s reserves policy, remained unchanged for the 2024-2025 financial year. These reserves provide a level of security against any unexpected large expenditure or any volatile period of income. It is important that potential donors, supporters and beneficiaries understand that this is not an unnecessarily hoarded ‘nest egg’, but a very necessary source of financial security ensuring the viability of Woodlarks Camp Site Trust into the future. The charitable entity has free reserves of £567,294 as at 30 September 2025 (2024: £430,587). The Trustees consider this level of reserves to be sufficient to deliver charitable objectives for the next twelve months. Free reserves are calculated by deducting fixed assets from the unrestricted (and undesignated) reserves held at the year-end. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Trustees have identified the following priorities for the coming year: 

- Conversion to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO): To be progressed during the 2025–2026 financial year and implemented at the start of the next financial year on 1[st] October 2026. 

- Infrastructure Development: Continued improvements to buildings, facilities, and equipment to enhance accessibility, comfort, and safety for all campers. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is controlled and governed by the Scheme, dated 4 March 2003, that constitutes a deed of trust and an unincorporated charity. The Trust intends to convert from an Unincorporated Charitable Trust to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation at the end of the 2025-2026 financial year, on 1[st] October 2026. 

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: G T Curtis L Cooper (Resigned 1 May 2026) Mr D Gill (Resigned 27 April 2026) Jacqueline Denyer (Appointed 22 May 2026) Mr. David Grosvenor (Appointed 21 May 2026) 

## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_ 

Although a rare event, new trustees are appointed by existing trustees based on their Woodlarks awareness and their skills. Potential candidates are identified and interviewed by a quorum of existing trustees and appointed by majority vote. 

## _Organisational structure_ 

The Trustees meet with the Management Committee regularly throughout the year, in addition to meetings of the Trustees alone. Each Trustee has a particular area of responsibility, to which the members of the Management Committee relate.

## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Woodlarks Camp Site Trust (the charity) for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

_**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Woodlarks Camp Site Trust is currently a Charitable Trust, registered at the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number: 306148) and will transition to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) during 2026. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

- 9 - 



_**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

## **1.6 Property, plant and equipment** 

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold Property 2% on cost Equipment 25% on reducing balance Kathleen Marshall House 2% on cost Swimming Pool Complex 2% on cost 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.7 Non-current investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of non-current assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

## **WOODLARKS CAMP SITE TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.9 Inventories** 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. 

## **1.10 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.11 Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.12 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.13 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
