Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The charity's objects ('Objects') are specifically restricted to the following:
(1) To relieve the needs of young people (primarily those aged between 11 and 25) by:
(a) The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life; and
(b) The provision of support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals
(2) To relieve the needs of persons of any age with learning difficulties and/or physical disabilities in such manner as may be charitable and in particular (but not so as to limit the generality of the foregoing) through the provision of training facilities and other opportunities which will equip people to lead a full and satisfying life.
Activities
The principal activities of the charity continue to be those of the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation and education of those persons, particularly the disabled and those with special needs, who have need of such facilities as aforesaid by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, improving their quality of life.
The charity leases land and buildings owned by United Utilities in the Southfield area of Burnley in East Lancashire and used as a residential centre for various user groups. Different activities are offered to groups on residential stays such as team building, orienteering, walking and bushcraft.
Some of our surpluses go towards providing free nights for disadvantaged groups.
Coldwell Activity Centre works with professional and insured instructors from around the North West. All our activities are risk assessed.
Now that we are fully operational after the Covid Pandemic, our bookings are beginning to return to an acceptable level and we continue to support groups out of our commercial arm Colwell Park Ltd.
We continue to repay the Bounce Back loan which we received during the Covid period, this remains unspent to date.
The Trustees wish to express their sincere thanks to our Staff Team who provide an excellent service all year round and also go that extra miles to ensure customer satisfaction.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Financial review
Policy on reserves
The trustees have established the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that the Charity ought to have £44k, which equates to roughly 3 months running costs at normal operational levels.
Unrestricted funds, not invested in fixed assets, are currently £63,382, plus the reserves held by the subsidiary company of £7,617.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The organisation was a charitable company limited by guarantee, and converted to a Foundation Charitiable Incorporated Organisation on the 19th September 2019.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
All members are invited to nominate Trustees prior to the AGM advising them of the retiring Trustees and requesting nominations for the AGM. When considering co-opting Trustees, the Board has regard to the requirement for any specialist skills needed.
Induction and training of trustees
New Trustees undergo an orientation period to brief them on their legal obligations under Charity law, the committee and decision making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the Charity. During the induction period they meet key employees and other Trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Organisational structure
The Board of Trustees administers the Charity and meets regularly with sub-committees as needed. The opportunity was taken during the pandemic to hold online meetings.
Major risks and management of those risks for small charities
The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
An annual review of the risks the Charity may face.
The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan.
The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should those risks materialise.
Regular reporting of risk status.
Financial viability is essential if Coldwell is to develop and insufficient income generation is a significant risk.
The Trustees have approved an income strategy to address this risk over the next three years and beyond.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Coldwell Inn Project
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Coldwell Inn Project for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of Coldwell Inn Project you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Coldwell Inn Project's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Coldwell Inn Project as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Coldwell Inn Project meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.
Income
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Long leasehold | 2% per annum on cost |
| Fixtures and fittings | 25% per annum on cost |
| Equipment | 20% reducing balance |
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
