**Wolverhampton Scouts Joint Management Committee Annual General Meeting Wednesday 4[th] May 2022** **Wolverhampton Scouts (t/a Patshull Activity Centre), registered charity number 518018** ## **Charity overview** Wolverhampton Scouts, trading as Patshull Activity Centre is a 100% volunteer-led charity that runs an outdoor activity centre for children, young people and adults. We engage with any youth-based organisation (such as scouts, guides, cadets, etc.), educational institutions (such as schools, colleges, universities, etc.) along with our wider community/and other businesses. We provide both residential and non-residential outdoor learning experiences in order for children and young people to reach their true potential. We occupy 16 acres of woodland/parkland within the Patshull estate on the Shropshire and Staffordshire border (just outside Wolverhampton) and boast a rich history being part of the estate since 1912! ## **Our aims and objectives** Patshull Activity Centre is a volunteer-led outdoor activity centre working with children and young people from all backgrounds of our communities and welcome any organisation that work with children and young people to enjoy what we have to offer. We specialise in being a fantastic venue for outdoor learning experiences which enable children and young people to develop in so many different ways. We’re passionate about ensuring that we are accessible to all, regardless of budget as we service some of the most deprived neighbourhoods across the Midlands region and because of this our prices start at only £3 per person to camp overnight. We are run by solely by volunteers from the local scouting community, the aims of The Scout Association, of which we are part, is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. Through adventure we challenge individuals so that they learn and experience new things that enrich their lives. **2** ## **Contents** |1.|Agenda|Agenda|Page 4| |---|---|---|---| |2.|Reports||| ||(a)|Assistant Site Manager Report|Page 5| ||(b)|Bookings & Activity Report|Page 5| ||(c)|Providore Report|Page 5| ||(d)|Fundraising and Development Report|Page 6| ||(e)|Service Team Report|Page 6-7| ||(f)|Treasurer’s Report|Page 7-8| ||(g)|Manager’s Report|Page 9| |3.|Proposed Constitution||Page 10-12| **3** ## **Annual General Meeting Agenda** 1.

It struck me the other day that we are now in our 110th year! Something to be proud of I’m sure you will agree! I can only imagine all the fantastic things that have happened over the years and all the hard work, grit and determination that has helped secure our future, something especially relevant today when you look what we have achieved as a team over recent years. A HUGE THANK YOU for all the ongoing support from our chairman Bob, our committee, our manager Richard, and all our team of committed volunteers! We should all be extremely proud of what we achieve together. Now, Bill, I promise I’m not saying you are quite 110 years of age, but this journey is something you have no doubt witnessed a significant part of and I must make a special mention of your ongoing support. I personally, take great reassurance from our lengthy talks, being able to witness your continued enthusiasm, listen to your opinions and for all your support in general – THANK YOU! Another special mention must go out to Nick Benton, Tom Collins and Rob Lockley – the hours you all put in is phenomenal and the site is looking amazing! ## **Bookings & Activity Report** Wow… what a fantastic year it has been, I say year, I ran a report of our bookings from 1st April to 31st March but, from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the reality was that this was from just 7th August last year, amassing a huge £10,998 worth of bookings! Interestingly comprised of 106 activities being delivered, generating £4145, approaching 40% of our generated income – a special mention of all of our activity instructors for this! Our trading over eight months alone has easily rivalled what we would normally achieve in twelve months. As we look forward to the next twelve months, we have an extremely healthy number of bookings totalling an anticipated £12,415 and that is without a vast number of last-minute additions for activities and other bookings we are yet to receive. The new bookings system has been working well, with some good feedback about being able to instantly place a booking and pay for the deposit online. Our processes have changed slightly requiring the balance of invoices to be settled 30 days prior to arrival, following suit of other campsites and seems to be really working for us. I must stress that without our team of committed volunteers, these bookings would not be able to happen – THANK YOU! ## **Providore Report** After carrying out some modernisations in the providore, I think it is safe to say it is looking better than ever and continues to prove popular too! Our sales reaching around £1866.87 over the last financial year with our top salesperson being Nick Benton! Not wanting to take anything away from Nick, you haven’t been tactically leaving yourself logged in have you taking note from our previous top salesperson Rob Lockley!!? Seriously, a huge thank you for all your efforts. **5** ## **Fundraising and Development Report** We are always looking out for new ways in which we can generate funding, regularly applying for grants in the background, probably not as much on this during the last 6 months due to the range of developments that have taken place: - The improvements made to our buildings including the new windows, doors, roof on the Golf House and decoration of the downstairs. - The renovation of our lake, dredging hundreds of tonnes of silt out of out and how impressive this now looks. - The development of our high rope’s activity area – this is game changing for us having heard so many people feedback how they now choose to visit us rather than travelling further afield to campsites that already provided this kind of offer! - The relocation of the Field Kitchen to a sound level base, lined out inside and with a more professional finish. - The addition of an actual wood store where we provide our visitors with dry wood! - Plus many more! This will only continue with: - The connection of mains power to the Field Kitchen, Activity Store and leading to power on Monkey Island (in preparation for an aeration system). - The construction of our new Yurt accommodation, with thanks to our service team who are coming back very soon to continue this project. - Our next plans are to expand our volunteer/visitor accommodation, securing funding for activity structure to house our kayaks, create an undercover traverse wall and axe throwing range along with our desire to establish a woodland classroom/bird watching hide on Monkey Island – these types of projects are thought to only strengthen our position to remain on site beyond our initial 5-year lease. I’m so proud of what we have achieved and look forward to what we continue to accomplish – thank you once again for all your support along this journey. ## **Joe Trusselle BEM** ## **Trustee/Assistant Site Manager** ## **Service Team Report** The last 12 months has seen a huge amount of work going on, not just by Service Team members but also Volunteers, friends, Bird watcher, you name it! As ever, Tom, Rob and Nick are doing regular maintenance work on the site and looking after day-to-day issues. The Service team has been mainly involved with larger scale projects which have included moving the field shelter onto a new base, rebuilding it, new tin roof and cladding the inside. We have built bridges over the stream, Post and Rail fenced around the Activity area and built a solid base for the Activity store. The last team and next team weekend will be taken up with finishing the bases for the Yurts on the flat field so we can get these into use ready for the summer season. I am pleased to report that we have recruited 3 new members to the team so we now have 15 members. **6** We have now agreed a rolling diary for the next 12 months which will also allow planning for larger projects and planned site maintenance. Thanks to the team for their help and support this year ## Yours in Scouting **John Treagust Service Team Leader** ## **Treasurer’s Report** ## **Wolverhampton & District Boy Scouts Local Association T/A Patshull Activity Centre** I, Nick Barry, hereby present the accounts for the year to 31 March 2022 for “Patshull Scout Camp”. ## **Profit and Loss Year end 31/03/2022** During the 2021-22 year we have made good progress as we were able to reopen following the Covid 19 pandemic. With good bookings in the final 3 quarters of the year and a good update in the new and improved activities now on offer. We continued to invest in the site with lots more work been done to get the site ready for our visitors to return site by our volunteers which is reflected in the high level of maintenance spend as we improved the facilities across the whole site. We were also able to secure a grant which was used to fix the dam and allow the pool around monkey island to refill giving us a new area in which water activities can also be offered. This is shown in deposit section of the accounts and the investment is shown on the fixed assets. Depreciation for the year has increased to reflect the increase in fixed assets An operating loss of £11.3k for the year mainly down to the increase in both depreciation and maintenance. Total profit after donations, however, was £48k. ## **Balance sheet as at 31/03/2022** As mentioned above we were able to secure a grant which along with a loan extended by the new landlords we were able to fully restore the moat around monkey island which now gives us a new area where water activities can be done total investment in this was £60k. In addition to this we were also able to replace all of the windows on both the golf house and also the barn and wardens’ den again we were able to secure a great deal on these at a cost of £18k which should have been much more. As part of the new lease, we have been able to expand the size of the site and have invested in a high ropes activity area at a cost of £11k. The new landlords have loaned the campsite £50k which as been used to fund the new assets this loan is interest free and will be repaid £10k per year over the 5 year lease. The bank balance continues to grow year on year and again we have broken it down in to its individual elements of protected pots of money which have been allocated. We have the remainder of Dons donation £7.7k, remaining donations received in the year of £7.7k with and additional £6.3k remaining from the sale of the camping equipment. The equipment replacement fund stands at 23.3k up on last year due to the increase in assets and depreciation. the new site fund has reduced to £25k as we have spent a bit of money clearing the planning conditions during the last year. given the commitment from the new landlord we have also set up a restricted rent fund of £15k representing a year and a half rent to ensure we can always meet our commitment to them. Leaving the site with free operating cash of £8k Net assets of the year stand at £172k up from £124k last year. which I think is an excellent result and reflects the investment we have made in the site which we feel stands us in a very good place at a very exciting time for the campsite. **7** PATSHULL ACTIVITY CENTRE TIA Palthulswmt Camp F￿r￿r￿ E•d 31.(k3.3)22 (brnpFeES -L630 Boo 4.512 2flJ Af¥J sy *I1￿tyF1I1 dKt 231 431 IL(6 7Z G75tof sa￿5(pr￿￿1dOr￿) 7Bi 53 -247 -5 13 p￿Idarp￿)Wft f4avyiN 15 6rn5 ￿l(Lo￿Tr. 47 58 IhErhe3ds rt&HMt 4117 1.175 1174 -L559 i.aB2 L21? 32A 473 IA5Q 6.383 2A37 &Fz4 40 IthErt5¥¥&PPi 133 553 •36 3ts11 &5)7 I1￿1$ 49 7D7 163 LbJNalvJNs 57.745 1.3 57 57 TIAP1ts￿1s￿*C￿ oi 01 Iroiiii OJ Q41011121 2a7Dii .n5 J91 2151 4257 2FI2 1.701 S7.AL• All.715 IY3 14c¢ 7JL?

Also, as Joe has already mentioned, a big thank you to Tom, Rob & Nick for the countless hours spent out at the site, finally to all the volunteer Duty Wardens, Activity Instructors and Service Team for all the fantastic work you do delivering opportunities for young people to enjoy our great facilities. As last year I provide a little update on the two sites we currently have:- Current Site – The new lease was entered into on the 24[th] June 2021 and is a fixed term to the 31[st] December 2025 but allows for the landlord to break, at 6 months’ notice, on the 31[st] December 2023. As reported last year the Mercer’s have given us £60,000 to spend on site improvements, which we have done and are currently repaying £2,500 per quarter. Joe and I have met the Rob on a number of occasions and he is extremely happy with the progress and improvements made, I have asked for an extended lease and will continue with those negotiations over the next year or so. New Site – we own c12a of woodland to the north of Burnhill Green and during the year have made a lawful commencement on the proposed development by installing a short length of access track. This effectively means our planning permission now lasts forever, so if we were to lose the current site we could start building at the new site. I do hope we never need that fall back option! You will see from Joe’s reports the improvements we have made in the last year, in addition we have acquired a mobile climbing wall which we will look to site in the activity area very soon, it has an auto belay system so we should be able to get it into use very quickly. Turning to the finances as you can see from the statements and Nick’s summary we are well placed with good reserves and the ability to invest in making the site even better, we need to remember that just to stand still we need to bring in £450 every week, so keep promoting the site and lets get it used every weekend. We do still need new volunteers to join our Duty Wardens, Activity Instructors and Service Team as well a Bookings Coordinator to help take some of the pressure off Joe, so if you know anyone with a couple of hours a week spare please pass them my details. Finally, and to reiterate my first paragraph, a massive thank you to everyone on the team here at Patshull for everything you’ve done in the last year, with bookings going well we have a busy twelve months ahead, in addition to all the improvements and extra facilities we have planned.
