We are also grateful to one or two benefactors who generou51y support us from time to time.
We continue to be well managed by our Warden, Administrator, and the rest of the team. This is shown
within the many compliment5 we receive throu8h customer feedback.
It is with great sadness that, due to ill health, we announce the retirement as Trustee of John Tomlinson.
John has been a mainstay of the Charlty slnce its inception, acting as Warden for many years, Secretary
and latterly as a Trustee. He regularly took full responsibility for the various challenges we have met
along the way and he will be greatly missed. We offer him and his family our love and grateful thanks
for all that he has meant to us.
Connected Charities & related partles
There is a strong connection with the Methodist churches In the area. The building used by the Project
is on a 30-year lease from the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes. Much practical help and
support IS 8iven by many Methodists in our region.
Progress
In line with our M ission Statement and Core Values, we are contlnually developing our customer
offerin8 to enhance the experience of all our visitors. This year, we have identified several key areas for
future development and improvement. These include the refurbishment of the maln hall, up8rades to
our toilet facilities. and the enhancement of our outdoor area.
We are particularly pleased to report the successful use of our Bursary Scheme durlng the year, and we
are committed to extendln8 Its reach in the future to support even more guests.
A secure field has now been developed at the rear of the site, providing groups with peace of rnlnd
regardlng safety, especially for those with younger or more vulnerable member5. Lookin8 ahead, we
hope to transform this space into an Inclusive, welcomin8 Outdoor envlronment that encourages
exploration, relaxation, and connection with nature-partlcularly for guests with additional needs.
These developments will be designed in harmony with the surrounding Yorkshire Dales Natlonal Park.
We also recognise the value of time spent outdoors and the positive benefits for all our vlsitors.
Therefore, we are explorin8 the improvement of outdoor tollet facilitie5 to help groups make the most
of their time outside, in comfort and di8nitv.
We know that turning these ideas into reality will require a significant fundraislng effort. However, we
believe the long-terrn benefits to our guests-many of whom face barriers in thelr daily lives will be
truly life-enhancing. Creating a place where everyone feels safe. welcome, and able to enjoy the beauty
of the outdoors is at the heart of what we do. With the continued support of our funders and
community. we are confident that these developments will make a lasting and meaningful difference.
Financlal Revlew
Accommodation receipts continued at an expected level due to meaningful marketing, and costs are
strictly budgeted.
Despite increaslng our Reserves Policy, our capital position remains satisfactory. However we are
cogni5ant of the potential impact of VAT a5 Outlined in the Charites, Commission guidelines. Thi5, alon8
with increasing energy costs and National Insurance contributions will lead to increasing our
Accommodation charges despite our best endeavours.

All income is recognised once the charlty has entitlement to the Income, it is probable that the
income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliablv.
Donations, are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and
settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of
performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised
until elther those condltlons are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within in
control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting
period. Legacy gifts are recognised when received.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured
reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
1.5 Expendlture recognition
Llabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or construttive obligatlon
committing the charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the
amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. All expenses including support costs and
governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. Charitable
expenditure comprises those costs incurred in running and maintaining the accommodation centre.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory
requirements of the charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BEAMSLEY PROJECT
CHARITABLE TRUST
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages
¢10.
Respective responslbllltles of the trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitws trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 (the
2011 Act) and that an Independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures lald down In the General Directions given by the Charity Commlsslon
under section 1451Sllbl of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examlnerfs report
My examlnation was carried out in accordance with the General Directlons given by the Charlty
Commission. An examlnation Includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concernlng any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evldence that would be requlred an audit,
and consequently no opinion Is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the
report is Ilmited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
11 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which agree with the accountlng records and comply with the accountlng
requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met, or
21 to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
