## 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.

## **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:- 

- (i)   Of which those persons have need by reason of their youth, disablement, or social and economic circumstances, and 

- (ii)   Which will improve the conditions of life to such persons by promoting their physical, mental, social, and interpersonal well-being and in any manner, which is, or thereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## Review of business 

We are starting to see a recovery in the usage of the Centre post Covid. During the year  the Centre achieved 19% utilisation, which is approximately half what it was pre Covid. The target was 45% but in hindsight this was ambitious and organisations are being cautious with their activities. 

During the year we serviced 185 total bookings which equated to a total of 2,239 bed nights sold.  Of these we received 17 youth group bookings which accounted for 1,560 bed nights and equates to 70% youth utilisation. The Centre has not seen this level of youth utilisation since 2017. 

Last year we reported wrongly on the youth utilisation at 16% due to a calculation error. The figure should have been 40%. 

Our membership has still continued to grow, as we recruited 11 new members. The total is now 280 of which approximately 22% are from the Staffordshire area. 

The youth organisations that have benefited from the Centre include: 

- Bede House Association (bedehouse.org.co) 

- Hertfordshire County Council 

- Kenilworth Community Church 

- The Hazel Academy 

- Farmor’s School 

- Blythe Bridge High School 

- 1[st] Watchfield and Shrivenham Scout Group. 

We received a total of 20 whole Centre bookings, of which 3 were from adult groups and the remaining were from youth groups. 

Income for the year, which was mainly from booking sales, was £ 31,586 for the year Total expenditure was £ 43,244.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES TO THE MEMBERS OF 

## THE BARN OUTDOOR PURSUITS ASSOCIATION - CONTINUED 

## **Achievements and performance - continued** 

## Review of business – continued 

In 2018 we created a 5 year plan that sets out to achieve 55% utilisation by 2023, with a minimum of 70% of usage by youth groups and an income of £ 64.6K.  Due to the effect of Covid on this plan we originally extended this plan to a six year plan however recent sales have meant a more realistic plan would be to extend this to a 7 year plan ending in 2025. 

We have resumed our marketing strategy to use social media in conjunction with The Independent Hostels Association IHUK which has worked well and we will continue to use GroupAccommodation.com for selling to groups and Booking.com to fill up short term gaps in between group bookings. 

We resumed the employment of Helen following a long period of furlough.  Lisa who manages bookings resigned at the start of the year.  We interviewed, appointed and trained Fiona Witton as her replacement. 

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. 

We have agreed on a new pricing structure which we deferred implementing until the next year so as a result prices were not increased during the year under review. 

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 launched our new website (www.woodlandscentre.com) and continued working on a new on-line booking system. 

Activity on the website has increased dramatically compared to the previous year which was during Covid and we have seen the activity return to similar levels as before Covid.  Organic search accounted for 41% of our website traffic.  Facebook and IHUK were our top referrers to the website. 

We held four working weekends during the year in April 2021, May 2021, July 2021 and October 2021.  Our volunteers were keen to return post Covid and we had a great turnout to each.  Together with our volunteers and members the Trustees have managed to achieve a huge amount.  Some of the achievements are listed as follows: 

- Repaired leaking flat roof. 

- Painted garden retaining wall, steps, handrail and back wall. 

- More new beds purchased, delivered and assembled. 

- New fire escape handrail. 

- Dangerous tree felled. 

- Repaired and cleaned drains and cleared gutters. 

- Fitted a CCTV system. 

- New outdoor lighting.

## **Achievements and performance - continued** 

Review of business – continued 

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. Please see some of our reviews: 

I absolutely loved my stay at the Woodlands Centre ! Wasn’t sure what to expect given the super low prices, but the female dorm was clean, the other guests were considerate and quite, and the warden was so accommodating and helpful !. The only thing I would note – if you’re travelling in from out of town, the buses to and from town are sparse, so you’ll need to get your timing right on those and plan ahead. **Cari Reinert** 

Lovely place.  Nice for motorbikes (private parking, near all beautiful roads). Cheap rooms with bathroom, TV, wifi. Nice food around. Highly recommended. **Radoll** 

Wonderful place, set back from the main road, ample parking, beautiful views, great facilities. A great base for Betws and North Wales. Helen, the warden is amazing and always goes the extra mile to ensure your stay is top notch. **Michele Hopwood** 

Very good.  Perfect location. **Ren Krusz** 

Fantastic place to stay. **Christopher Forrester** 

Amazing place and I really admire the work of the charitable organisation is doing for young people. Helen is wonderful. **Sriman Ramabhadran** 

Another great stay at the Woodlands, its clean, fresh and pleasant to be here. Many thanks to Helen for all of her noticeable hard work. **1[st] Netherton Scouts** 

## Results 

The deficit of income over expenditure for the year was £ 11,654 (2021 - surplus £ 8,377). 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:- 

- (a) to provide funds which can be designated for specific projects to enable them to be undertaken at short notice, and 

- (b) to cover administration fund-raising and support costs without which the Association could not function. 

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

- (a) to avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets held for the Association's use, 

- (b) to cover one years administration, fund raising and support costs, and 

- (c) to cover the projected cost of £ 10,000 for ongoing refurbishment of the building. 

The Trustees are of the opinion, after careful consideration of all relevant facts, that the unrestricted reserves during the year to 31 March 2023 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:- 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principals in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and 

- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Association will continue in business. 

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 2022 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 10 to 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and reporting accountant** 

As described on page 8, 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: 

- (a)  the financial statements are in agreement with the accounting records kept by the Association in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities and as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; 

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

- (i)   the financial statements have been drawn up in a manner consistent with the accounting requirements specified by the Charities Act 2011; and the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice. 

- (ii)  the Association satisfied the conditions for exemption from an audit of the financial statements for the year, and did not, at any time within that year, fall within any of the categories of Associations  not entitled to the exemption specified. 

- (iii)   no attention requires to be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## 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. 

- b. Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis 

The Association reported a net cash outflow of £ 4,108 in the year to 31 March 2022. The outflow resulted from operating costs exceeding income offset by additions to fixed assets. Cash of £ 539 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. 

- d. Deferred taxation 

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.
