REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES TO THE MEMBERS OF

THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION - CONTINUED

Structure Governance and Management

Governing Document

The Organisation was founded in 1959 and its governing document is its Constitution dated 24 September 1998.

The Association is registered as a charity with the Charities Commission. All of the trustees are members of the Association. No trustee has a beneficial interest in the Association. Membership of the Association is open, irrespective of sex, sexual orientation, race, nationality or political, religious, or other opinion to: (i) Individuals aged eighteen or over.

(ii) Individuals aged under eighteen years who shall be known as junior members. They shall have the power to elect one of their number to represent them at meetings, but that representative shall have no voting rights.

The number of Association members at 31 March 2021 was 269 (2020 - 261).

Appointment of Trustees

The Trustees shall under the requirements of the Constitution of the Association retire from office at the Annual Members' Meeting and may, if willing to act, be re-appointed. New Board Members can be appointed during the year, but have to be re elected at the Annual Members' Meeting.

Trustees at 31 March 2021 are listed on page 1. At the Members' Meeting held on 24 April 2022 all the Trustees offered their resignations. All of the Trustees, with the exception of Mr A Peace, were reelected for a further term of office.

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees are also invited and encouraged to attend induction sessions lead by the chairman/secretary for familiarisation with the documents and discussion/explanation of the roles and responsibilities associated with their appointment as a Trustee. A visit to the ''Woodlands'' Centre to meet the Warden and gain an overview of the day to day activities and operating procedures of the Centre is also arranged with further follow up visits during their period of office.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES TO THE MEMBERS OF

THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION - CONTINUED

Organisational Structure

The Association's constitution allow the Board of Trustees to consist of not less than three, but there is no upper limit. The current board, who are listed on page 1 has nine active members and is required to meet not less than four times a year, with interim meetings if required to deal with specific items of business.

The Board is responsible for the oversight and strategic planning of the operation of the Centre and the operation of the organisation as a charity.

The day to day running of the Centre is delegated to the Warden and the Booking Clerk, who are appointed by the Board.

The Trustees look after financial aspects of the organisation with most day to day activities being delegated to the Warden and Booking Clerk.

The Warden and Booking Clerk may attend board meetings, when requested to report, discuss and advise as necessary but have no voting rights.

Risk Management

The Trustees have policies in place to ensure compliance with regulations relating to the health and safety of staff, volunteers, service users, and visitors. These include procedures in the event of fire, illness/accident, suspected abuse and to ensure high standards in food and kitchen hygiene. A general outline of legislation is also displayed at the Centre.

Risk assessments are carried out in respect of any perceived hazards and procedures developed to minimise any potential risk. These are reviewed at least annually.

The Association complies with the Working Time Directive, which came out on 1 October 1998 and the National Minimum Wage, which came into Force on 1 April 1999 and any subsequent updates.

The Trustees have also implemented policies for dealing with complaints, complements, grievance and discipline.

The Association has insured with Ansvar Insurance through W R S Limited - Insurance Brokers both public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance.

Related Parties

There is at present no formal agreement with other parties. However funds have in the past been donated from the Community Fund for the original purchase of ''Woodlands'' and operational support from Staffordshire County Council. In a previous year a grant of £ 5,000 was received from Garfield Weston Foundation to help fund the construction of the Warden’s accommodation.

THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION - CONTINUED

Objectives and Activities

When planning the activities for the year the Board of Trustees have considered the Charity Commissioners' guidance on public benefit. The objects of the Association are, by associating together with the inhabitants of Staffordshire and to the surrounding areas and Local Authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to provide, in the interests of Social Welfare and the advancement of education, facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupations for the young people of Staffordshire and other surrounding areas, being facilities:-

Achievements and Performance

Review of business

This year has been a disaster for the Centre with managing the impact of Covid. We were only able to manage 4% utilisation for the year. During the year we managed to accept 12 bookings in between lockdown periods totalling 453 bed nights. The number of youth bookings received was just 2 making youth booking account for 16% of the total bookings received.

The Youth organisations that have benefited from using us include:

Our membership has continued to grow and we recruited 8 new members. The total is now 269 of which approximately 23% are from the Staffordshire area.

We decided to put all marketing on hold but continued to use Booking.com to fill up short term gaps in between group bookings where possible.

During the year we furloughed our Warden Helen and Lisa who runs our booking office.

Ongoing water safety checks were performed by Helen Randles with the help of NCH. The employer’s liability insurance was renewed, and the certificate displayed at the Woodlands premises. We carried out a fire risk assessment and updated the logbook with any new findings or actions. This was done to the new format suggested by the local Fire Officer.

A Covid risk assessment was produced and updated monthly with guest declaration forms, guidance and preventative measures. A number of changes were made to the Centre in line with the items documented in the risk assessment.

Achievements and performance - continued

Review of business – continued

Prices were not increased during the year.

All Trustees’ meetings have been minuted and were conducted according to our constitution. The minutes are stored in our Sharepoint and are available at any time. All necessary correspondence has been dealt with.

We completed and launched a new website and the on-line booking system continues to operate efficiently. Improvements are planned and eventually we will move over to a new booking system.

We held one working weekend during the year in July 2020. We had a good turnout together with our volunteers and members the Trustees have managed to achieve a huge amount which was mainly related to Covid changes and ongoing maintenance. Some of the achievements are listed as follows:

The Board of Trustees wishes to place on record its appreciation to the following:

Plans for Future Periods

Tasks and improvements set for the coming year are:-

Some work may roll over dependant on emergency issues that may arise.

We have had many reviews on Google, Facebook, Booking.com and in our Guest book. Overall, our users were happy and appreciated the accessible location of our accommodation and the value for money that the Centre provides.

Results

The surplus of income over expenditure for the year was £ 8,377 (2020 - surplus £ 1,268).

The Board of Trustees wishes to place on record its appreciation and thanks to all volunteers for providing continued support.

Stated reserves policy

Unrestricted funds are needed:-

The Trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient:-

The Trustees are of the opinion, after careful consideration of all relevant facts, that the unrestricted reserves during the year to 31 March 2022 should not fall below £ 40,000.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES TO THE MEMBERS OF

THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION - CONTINUED

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice: requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association and of the income and expenditure of the Association for that year.

In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to:-

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Association and that enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 (Revised 2006 and 2011) and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Association and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report which has been prepared in accordance with both Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice and the Charities Act 1993 (Revised 2006 and 2011), was approved by the board and signed on its behalf by:-

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF

THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 9 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of the trustees and reporting accountant

As described on page 7, the Association's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, and they consider that the Association is exempt from an audit. It is my responsibility to carry out procedures designed to enable me to report my opinion.

Basis of opinion

My work was conducted in accordance with the Statement of Standards for Reporting Accountants, and with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. My procedures includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Association and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and making such limited enquiries of the officers of the Association as I considered necessary for the purposes of this report. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view’’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Opinion

In my opinion:

(b) having regard only to, and on the basis of, the information contained in those accounting records:

THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The Association meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The Association reported a net cash inflow of £ 12,890 in the year to 31 March 2021. The inflow resulted from operating income exceeding costs offset by additions to fixed assets. Cash of £ 1,138 was used on acquiring fixed assets in the year. The Trustees are monitoring performance and cash reserves throughout the year and will look to adjusting prices for services provided when necessary. Local Authority funding from Staffordshire Council has been withdrawn. Action is being taken as required to compensate for this loss in income by generating funds by encouraging more diversity, but concentrating on youth, in those that use the facilities and services of the Centre and various fund raising activities.

c. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives.

At each balance sheet date, the Association reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is an indication that any items have suffered impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

On written down basis

Furniture & fittings 20% per annum Equipment 20% per annum

Land and buildings are not depreciated.

Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystalise.
