statement of Ri8k8
The main risks to the Company are associated with being adequately funded to continue with caring for
the residents supported by Mourne Grange. The ongoing lack of uplifts by one of the key funders,
Supporting People, is one of the main issues that impacts on the long-term financial wellbeing of the
Company. This issue is consistently raised on a regional level through a range of organisations and
progress is negatively impacted by the lack of an operating local Government in Nl. The Management
Council is responsible for all risks faced by the Community. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated
to the mandated groups established to deal with each ofthese areas. There is a Corporate Risk Register
in place which is reviewed annually or more frequently as required and the Management Council is
satisfied that all major risks identified have been adequately mitigated, where necessary. It is recognised
that systerns can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been
adequately managed.

Pollcles and Proceduros
Camphill Community Mourne Grange maintains a fleet of policies and procedures in line with all required
standards as detailed by RQIA, Supporting People and the H&SCTs.
A 3 yearly cycle of review is in place for all policies and procedures, and this was adhered to throughout
2023. Relevant policies or procedures are reviewed more frequently in response to new developments
or guidance as required.
A central file for all policl8s and procedures is held in the main office and on the team site to ensure it
can be accessed by all staff at any time. There are also regular notifications of updates or changes to
any of the policies and procedures.
Recrultmont
There is a recruitment policy in place that includes all of the reqUI￿d checks and processes as detailed
by the domiciliary Ca￿ and ACCESSNI standards.
Moume Grange has its own licence to complete ACCESSNI checks and ft)Ilows good practice guidelines
of completing a 3 yearly check on all staff and Community members. Mourne Grange also has its own
licence to process applications for NISCC registration and also ensure that the required renewal
timeframes are adhered to for all registrants. Mourne Grange continues to hold a grade A status licence
to issue Tier 5 charity visas and also skilled worker visas. At present the annual allocation for Tier 5
visas is 25 and all skilled worker visas are applied for on an as and when required basis.
Moume Grange continues to attract an appropriate number of employees and to date has not
experienced the same pressures with wruitment and retention experienced by the social care sector
in Northem Ireland. This is a positive reflection on the ethos and culture of a positive working
environment within Mourne Grange and has also meant that agency staff have not had to be accessed.
Recruitment of short-term co-workers continues to be positive and at any one time there are 24 from a
range of different countries. They complete a recruitment prO￿sS similar to that of an employee and
complete the same range of mandatory trainings and induction.

TraininglDevelopment
There is a 3-day structured induction and then a process for completion of all mandatory trainings. This
also includes the completion of an induction booklet based on NISCC requirements.
All mandatory training is completed within the required timeframes and a central training database is
maintained. Specialist additional training is also provided linked to the specific needs of residents, for
example in relation epilepsy and also stoma care. In addits'on to the realm of mandatory training there
has also been additional training to help to develop connections and positive working relationships
be￿een employees and long term community members. A three day pottery workshop, facilitated by
Bernard Graves, was arranged and provided a positive forum for people to connect and work together
in an altemats've way. A further workshop, facilitated by B Graves, focusing on the skills of blacksmithing
offered the opportunity forworkshop leaders from all four Carnphill Communities to work together. There
are plans to repeatthis approach to training as it is important to support and extend people's experiences
of training and working together beyond the mandatory expectations.
The Foundation course continues to form an important part of trainlng and informs co-workers about the
ethos and values that underpin the unique approach to working and living together with adults with
learning disabilities.
In addition to this further learning opportunities were offered, for example attending a climate change
workshop at Queens University in April '23.
In June '23 a group of younger long-term co-workers were supported to attend the regional Youth
Conference hosted in Camphill Ne￿(on Dee in Aberdeen. This offered a positive opportunity to connect
with other young people supporting the Camphill ethos into the future. It also led to Mourne Grange
agreeing to host the next Youth Conference in May 2024.
A group of co-workers also attended a conference in Croatia focusing on adults with autism and how to
support them in creative ways to acknowledge their skills and abilities.
Mourne Grange continues to enjoy a very posltlve connection with the Southern Regional College.
They provide a tutor to visit Mourne Grange every week to provide classes for our residents in life skills
and reading and writing. The residents have a great sense of achievement, particularly on graduation
day when they ￿lebrate together and are presented with their certificates.
In addition to this, the AQA award scheme has been introduced and a number of residents have
completed skills-based qualifications related to their workshop areas, for example health and safety,
food hygiene and also care of animals.
Mourne Grange also continues to be a placement site for social work students on a regular basis and
in addition to this a placement for a eurythmy student was also in place during 2023.

There is a supervision and appraisal policy in place and all staff who fulfil this role are provided with
training. Short term co-workers are also included in this process.
Supervision is provided ￿lce a year and appraisal once a year for all employees and Community
members and a central database is maintained to ensure this is adhered to and available for inspection.
Records are maintained in each HR or short-term co-worker file.
The format for supervision and appraisal follows the key areas for NISCC registration and also RQIA
requirements
Safeguardinglchlld protection
There is a safeguarding and child protection policy in place that has been updated to include the
introduction of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards element of the Nl Mental Capacity Act. The
Registered Manager maintains the role of Safeguarding Champion and a safeguarding position report
is completed on an annual basis and inspected by RQIA and shared with all relevant H&SCTs.
The registered manager and in house trainer avail of external training in these areas to ensure they are
deemed competent to fulfil these roles and also deliver training. The registered manager also continues
to attend the ARC Safeguarding Champions nebNork to ensure that she is appraised of any new
developments or operational issues.
Health & Safety
Mourne Grange continues to contract with an external H&S consultant who reviews all health and safety
standards, fire safety in line with HMO guidelines, associated policies and procedures, practices within
the workshops and plans for any new developments and projects. This consultant also engages in the
delivery of all related training as part of the induction and mandatory training schedule.
The registered manager fulfils the role of the designated H&S member of staff ￿ sponsible for this area
and works in partnership with the consultant to ensure all areas are compliant and that the corporate
risk register is regularly updated.
All planned and response maintenance for both landlords, CCTNI and CHA, continues to be maintained
and follow the agreed plans from the stock condition surveys. The use of the Mourne Grange App has
been embedded in practice and enables house and workshop coordinators to log all maintenance
request with associated photographs. This has helped to maintain a central database of all maintenance
requests and a150 ensure that contractors are more informed about the work that needs to be completed.
Moume Grange was able to work in partnership with CHA to review and change the stairs in St
Bronagh's house to be more in keeping wrth a domestic style house but also continue to meet fire and
H&S standards.
There was an adaptation to Skellig Michael house, to provide more private space for the life sharing co-
worker, who lives there. This project was completed in partnership with CHA and has been a positive
development to ensure life sharing is supported within the accommodation offered by Mourne Grange.
During 2023 the Community took time to reflect on plans to build a nursing care facility. Planning for the
project had been secured but it was important to ensure this was a project that was appropriate for the
overall wellbeing and development of Mourne Grange. After a thorough period of reflection, research,
and discussion it was agreed not to proceed with this project. This was a difficult but reasonable decision
to reach and alternative options for the granted planning permission are being considered.
Towards the end of 2023 Mourne Grange estate was affected by the unusual adverse weather
conditions which led to significant flooding in the local area. Fortunately, there was only minor damage

to one small dwelling that has since been repaired. Time has been taken to learn from this experience
and ensure measures are in place to mits'gate against further damage and ensure properties aren't
flooded. This work is ongoing and being completed in partnership with CCTNI.
General care of the estste and woodlands has also been supported by one of the long term
co-workers completing formal training in the use of chainsaws. This means Moume Grange can be more
independent in proactively managing the care of trees and woodlands and also responding to any impact
from storms .
The MP for the South Down area, Mr Chris Hazzard, visited Mourne Grange in March 2024 and the
issues with extending the speed limit on the main road beside Mourne Grange was shared. This issue
was taken forward by Mr Hazzard but unfortunately at this stage it cannot be granted.

Changes to Community Membershlp
During 2022 there was a significant restructuring prO￿sS undertaken to review and change the model
of support for St Bronagh and Fairy Grove. This process has continued to be an ongoing area of
development during 2023 and into 2024.
An existing life sharing house coordinator has undertaken the role of supporting St Bronagh and the
process of identifying a life sharing support for Fairy Grove is ongoing. In the interim an employed
member of the Mourne Grange team continues to support Fairy Grove.
A new long term life sharing co-worker joined the lona team and an existing co-worker was supported
to take on the role of House Coordinator for Nicodemus.
Three residents had to be supported to move onto atternatlve placements, fvrfo to nursing care and one
to another Camphill Community in Nl. Two new residents have joined the Community and their
placements are going well.
Sadly, a longstanding member of the Friends of Moume Grange and Management Council passed
away. He had moved over to England a number of years ago but still remained connected with Mourne
Grange. In October 2023 there was a memorial service attended by Mourne Grange and the local
community.
Two residents who had moved onto nursing care a few years ago also passed away and, according to
their and their families wishes, they returned to Mourne Grange to be buried.
It has been very positive to see the growth in the number of people attending for day opportunities and
during 2023 this number InC￿aSed to 20 in total. This has provided a solid foundation for further
developments into 2024.
Governance
The annual unannounced RQIA Inspection VRS completed on the 8th of June 2023. It was a positive
inspection and there were no requirements or recommendations.
Mourne Grange continues to work to all of the requirements of the Information Commissioners Office
and in relation to GDPR and there were no data breaches that had to be reported in 2023.
Mourne Grange continues to adhere to all Supporting People standards and the annual contract review
and quality monitoring process was completed with no identified areas of concern.
The annual contract reviews were completed with the Southern, Northern and Southeastern Trusts and
no issues were identified. The quality assurance and monitoring reports continue to be completed on
quarterly basis and this also includes the assuran￿ of following Supported Living guidan￿ for
management of residents finances.
Mourne Grange Management Council held the annual AGM in July 2023.
Annual reviews for all residents were completed for 2023 in partnership with the care managers from
the relevant H&SCT teams, families, and carers.
A Moume Grange App for the recording of medication and appointments continues to be a positive
development and has become embedded in all of the house teams, practice. The system meets all
GDPR requirements and ensures that there is an oveNiew of all changes to medication and also that
house teams can share appointments and relevant outcomes for residents in a more timely manner.

The financial SOLDO system has become more established and embedded as working practice for the

continues to meet the financial management needs of Mourne Grange.
Mourne Grange continues to work in partnership with the Social Fund to ensure it is accessed as a
support for all its beneficiaries.
There have been no formal complaints for 2023. All compliments and positive feedback are collated.
Flnancial revlow
Revlew of the business
The Community is non-profit making wrth net deficlt before transfers of £83,266 for the year ended 31st
March 2024. This level of outgoing resources would have been greater if not for the donations &
legacies amounting to £14,023 received in year and the development in the Day Opportunities service
provided. Capital assets acquired during the year amounted to £35,707 included a replacement motor
vehicle for the community, equipment for the re-opening of the café and equipment for Community
members activities.
The deficit incurred in year consumed part of the unrestricted reserve fund brought forward balance of
£750,214 to an Un￿StrICted reseple carried forward of £683,695. The community continues to
investigate efficiency measures to curb the operational deficit, generate new incomes whilst ensuring a
continuity in our excellent service provision.
In addition to these measures and mindful of the reducing levels of unrestricted funds, Moume Grange
is engaging with stakeholder groups and the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. A business plan
is in the process of development & implementation with a focus on a stable business model delivered
by a life sharing Community.
Reserves Poll¢y
During the year the Management Council have considered the levels of reserves required by the Charity
to be maintained. The Management Council have set a policy that reflects the need to maintain current
operations while providing for future commitments. The current policy is to retain within the unrestricted
General Fund reserves equivalent to approximately six months normal expenditure.
The unrestricted free reserves of the charity are currently £525,296. This is sufficient to fund
approximately 2 months expenditure, which is short of the Management Councils target of six months
expenditure.
The Management Councils policy, therefore, is to attempt to build up their unrestricted reserves by
means of annual operating net incoming resources, when available. The primary concern of the
Management Council is to continue to provide an appropriate level of care and support within the
community. Any net incoming resources created will be secondary to this aim and will be dependent
on the level of funding provided by the community's funders.
