Achievements and performance In 2022, RVDA experienced a remarkable surge in coltage bookings, marking one of the most active years in the history of our organisation. The post-lockdown period witnessed a substantial influx of tourists to the Mourne area, with individuals capitalising on the trend of staycations. To capitalise on this favourable environment, RVDA launched a robust marketing campaign under the leadership of Kaitlyn Hanna, one of our directors. The primary focus of this campaign was to attract tourists from overseas and the Republic of Ireland (ROI). We are pleased to report that this campaign was highly successful in boosting Cottage bookings through various social media platforms. Moreover, we secured a small marketing grant, which was strategically allocated to advertise our cottages in local newspapers, on the radio, and across social media channels, Additionally, a promotional video showcasing our cottages and the surrounding area was produced. Throughout 2022, our Office Administrator continued to efficiently oversee the booking process and manage our housekeeping staff. To accommodate the heightened summer demand, we recruited two part-time seasonal housekeepers. Fortunately, there were no significant cottage maintenance issues during the year, owing to the substantial progress made in 2021. We also carried out essential external drainage work in the vicinity, including the implementation of exterior tanking around Johnny's cottage to prevent damp-related problems. Plans for cottage refurbishments were initially considered but were postponed due to consistently high occupancy levels.

The project included the establishment of a new path with a diverse range of plantings to support and boost the local bee population. In collaboration with a local beekeepers group, we installed beehives along the riverbanks. Their generosity in donating honey for our charity in exchange for volunteering projects was greatly appreciated. RVDA was honoured to receive a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLFI to employ a Heritage Project Officer for a three-year term, commencing in September 2022. Laura Johnston assumed this role and initiated the process of applying for additional Heritage grants while coordinating seasonal events. The three main events - The Easter Egg Hunt, Pumpkins and Scarecrows, and Christrnas at the Close enjoyed significant attendance, resulting in much-needed funds for the preservation of Hanna's Close. Throughout the year, we facilitated bookings for Tommy's cottage, George's Garden, and the river site for various charitable events. Additionally, members of our board conducted several radio and television interviews, which significantly elevated our charity's profile. Our Board of Directors met on a monthly basis to address matters pertaining to the cottages, staff, and charitable projects. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place in March 2022, during which Gail Fisher assumed the role of Treasurer. and the remaining board members were re-elected collectively.

Chairman David Hanna conveyed his thanks to the volunteer team and Events Subcommittee Chair Glyn Mitchell for their successful event planning and execution in in 2022. At the AGM, it was unanimously agreed to conduct an internal review of the entire operation with a view to optimising the organisational structure and streamlining the accommodation services. The results of this review will be presented to the board in 2023.

Reserves Policy Historically RVDA operated its charitable activities alongside negative profit and loss reserves. However, the negative profit and loss reseNes reversed to a positive position during the year ended 31 December 2022. Regardless of this encouraging step, the directors are aware that the rese￿eS position should be reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the charity does not face any future cash flowlfunding difficulties. The nature of the properties within RVDA require significant funds simply to maintain them. The directors would emphasise that the negative reserves were a result of the accounting policy adopted regarding Deferred Capital Grants see note 1. Going Concern The directors believe that the charity's accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be adequate for the charity's needs. The directors have considered a period of ￿e1ve months from the date of approval of the accounts and believe that the disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern made in the accounts are more than adequate.

River Valley Development Association Limited Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2022 Accounting pollcies (continued) Tangible assets Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows.. Leasehold propety Pathways Project Fixtures and fittings Government grants Deferred capital grant 20/0 Straight line 51 straight line 15% reducing balance The directors have relied on the 'True and Fair, override when accounting for deferred capital grants. The Statement of Recommended Practice, applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), recommends that the income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. This has not been applied by the charity as it would falsely inflate the reserves of the charity and distort its future trading performance. The charity merely holds a lease on restored properties that will revert back to their owners in due course. Deferred capital grants in respect of capital expenditure are treated as deferred income and are credited to the profit and loss account over the estimated useful life of the assets to which they relate. Defined contribution plans Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises. 11
