On Sunday April 21st 2024 we celebrated the 70th anniversary of Camphill, not just of Glencraig but of Camphill in
Ireland, as it was from Glencraig that many other Camphill communities were “planted”. Approximately 400 friends of
Camphill from all over Ireland, current and former residents and staff, and families enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of
music, food, entertainment and community, and the beautiful sunny weather helped to make the day even more special
for everyone.
----- End of picture text -----
The event was opened by members of the community playing the Camphill bells, followed by the cutting of a 7Gth anniversary cake. There were recitals from a talented classical guitar and cajon drum trio - made up of staff who currenily work in the community, playing music from South America and Spain. Some current residenis, day attendees and staff delighted the crowd with their circus skills performances and the Belfast Community Gospel Choir brought their joyful, energetic and uplifting voices to add to what was an extremely special day of fun, celebration and inclusiveness.
This event was the coming together of individuals, families, communities, and people of different nationalities to celebrate what Camphill is, what Glencraig has been and continues to be, and to give thanks and see people connect. it allowed us to build relationships, form new friendships and have fun!
In Camphill communities, children, young people and adults with developmental difficulties live together with co-workers, other volunteers and staff to create an intentional cammunity. Glencraig continues to be a community which encompasses education, vocational care, and support for individuals with learning difficulties.

2. Achievements and Performance
During 2024/25 a team comprising subcommittee chairs and the chair of the management council together with senior staff carried out a review of service options and priorities together with key facility needs. The exercise identified twa urgent priorities which were to provide immediate additional accommodation for the school in proximity to the existing school buildings and to provide additional facilities for adults using day services which would support the increase of more adult residential placements.
With our primary focus being the 90+ beneficiaries who use our range of services, the senior management team continued working on the 6 strategic foci set out for the period 2022-2025 namely:
-
- Putting Our Beneficiaries First * Human Resources: Staffing & Volunteering * Financial Resources : Sustainability + Unique Glencraig Distinctiveness & Camphill Approach * Environmental Resources : Facilities & Estate Maintenance + Partner & Statutory Relationships

Camphill Community Glencraig provides services to both adults and children from all 5 Health Trusts in Northern Ireland and the Education Authority. We also have aduli residents from the Republic of Ireland.
Strategic and operational meetings with key stakeholders, including the Health Trusts in Northern Ireland, the SPPG {Dept of Health Strategy Planning & Performance Group), the Education Authority and the Health Service Executive in the Republic of Ireland and RQIA (Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority) continued during the year.
Like other Camphill’s in the UK and Ireland there has been a decline in the number of long-term co-workers who are actively at work in the community (currently 7 plus 6 children) however some individuals who were previously co-workers have chosen to become employed contributing to a steady increase in the number of employed staff (currently 336). In addition, we have a number of co-workers (currently 7) who have reduced their direct involvement in care work but still participate in community activities in a meaningful and important way and live in community. There are 3 employed staff who live on site wha were previously co-workers.
Glencraig accommodated 36 international volunteers between April 2024 and March 2025. The volunteers stayed between six and twelve months and are from a range of countries including 19 fram Europe, 12 from Africa, 3 from South America and 2 from Asia. The volunteers live together onsite in community and bring additional help and energy to a wide range of activities whilst finding opportunities for personal development.
Glencraig’s trustees remain committed te retaining the spirit and ethos of ‘Camphill’, which has made such a valuable contribution to the provision of care for its residents and other attendees, and a blended model has been developed which accommodates the increasing number of employed staff as well as our long-term and short-term co-workers bringing the total of people directly invoived in the Glencraig Community to well over 400 . The trustees wish to express their thanks, appreciation and recognition to the full team of staff and co-workers who remain committed ta Glencraig.
Special Note in Tribute and Recognition of Outstanding Service
We were greatly saddened that on Thursday 9th May 2024, Ascension Day, Andrew Wright (husband of long-term coworker Valerie) who had been a co-worker for over 30 years, passed away. On the same day, Alan Gillespie, who worked in School, died in an accident after leaving Glencraig. Andrew and Alan are deeply missed.
The community was further saddened that Milly Renolds passed away on St John’s Day, 24th June 2025. Milly (husband of Vincent, our volunteer co-ordinator and a former executive co-ordinator) lived and worked as a long-term co-worker for some 42 years at Glencraig and was deeply committed to caring for many residents over those years.
On 17th July 2025, John Young, trustee and chair of the management council sadly passed away. John served tirelessly on behalf of the Camphill Community for the past 10 years, being passionately committed to the community and a fearless advocate for its ethos. John will be missed tremendously by the whole Glencraig community,

Farm, Market Garden, Store, and the Environment
Residents, staff and co-workers continued to produce a wide variety of fruit (from which they made apple juice!) and vegetables and to look after the livestock, providing residents and day placement attendees with valuable therapeutic opportunities. The ordering and storage of certain items was centralised during Covid, so during 2023 work began to renovate the store to increase its capacity and effectiveness and the building was opened on 17th April 2024 by the McNeill family, who had made a donation to Camphill on the passing of their family member who had lived at various Camphill’s. The Farm and Garden were inspected by the Irish Organic Association and the Farm by the Farm Quality Assurance Scheme during the year,
Community Cultural Events
In addition to meeting the care needs of residents and ail who attend services, co-workers in Glencraig have been able to organise a vibrant cultural programme, with regular weekly and monthly activities, including music, singing, the Offering Service, and the Act of Consecration of Man (conducted by members of the Christian Community).
The period of this report covered two St Bridget’s Days! which falls on the 1st February in Ireland followed by Candlemas on 2nd February.

So, on Saturday 25th January 2025, we celebrated “Burns night” with a community dinner dance which was an opportunity for our residents and staff to get glammed up in their best outfits and have a night of celebration.
5. Children’s Services
Camphill School Glencraig
Glencraig provides an independent school for our Children’s Home residents and day pupils up to the age of 19 who are all referred by the Education Authority. The school faced challenges in recent years due to falling numbers, but the move from temporary facilities to Comgall House in 2019 provided an enhanced focus and a renewed determination to rebuild the school.
In February 2024, the school was at full capacity of 17 and by Easter 2024, we had a waiting list of a further 3 pupils. With the demand for school placements being acute the decision was made in June 2024 to purchase 5 timber classrooms for placement in the vicinity of the current school properties to take capacity to 20 students.
Several strategic and operational meetings took place with the EA to explore further partnership working.
The school is supported by 46 staff, alongside Co-workers and volunteers.

Over the course of 2024/25 a group of staff completed the BILD Level 3 Coaches Programme, to qualify them as PBS Practitioners/ Coaches. This will further build the capacity of our managers to implement the theoretical practices and tools of PBS within their own teams. Additionally, over 20 managers and team leaders completed an ILM Level 5 in leadership and management.
Facilities
The Glencraig site, with its extensive land and buildings, is set at the shoreline of Belfast Lough and provides a tranquil, largely wooded, environment in which its residents can flourish.
The management of these facilities is not without challenges, particularly when it comes to ensuring that the buildings and land are properly maintained. There are two property owners, Camphill Community Trust NI and Craigowen Housing Association, Glencraig also owns some facilities.
The following work was completed over the year:
-
« the issue of the derelict Ciaran Coleman building was again escalated with CHA and CCTNI and a resolution agreed whereby the lease from CHA was surrendered and ownership passed back te CCTNI
-
« Fire Risk assessment exercises were completed with follow-up action being taken
-
¢ Flooding of the brook in November 2023 caused significant damage to Craigmichael, Amairgin school and the children’s play park and various paths and pipe works near the chapel. Remedial works were commenced by Glencraig however CCTNI continue to seek progress on various measures by their insurer.
A significant failure of an electrical distribution box caused a power failure over a four-day period in December 2024, A storm in January 2025 caused the falling of over 20 trees on the site and electrical failure for 12 hours. Glencraig, CHA and CCTNI have commenced a project to seek to address essential utilities that are shared between the three parties on the site.
inspections were carried out by Ards & North Down Borough Council for Environmental Heaith and Food Hygiene.

for the financial period ended 31 March 2025
There are also other groups which exist to share and disseminate information on matters of mutual interest across the Camphill network, such as the Northern Neighbourhood Group, ACESTA (Association for Care, Education and Social Therapy out of Anthroposophy), the AoCC (Association of Camphill Communities).
Sectoral work and networking activities took place during the year, particularity through ARC and CO3 memberships.
8. Financial review
Camphill Community Glencraig's financial position continued to make progress during the period with a small surplus being declared. We changed the year end from 31 January to 31 March in order to align our accounting period with that of our funders which should facilitate financial control and review going forward. The period reported on is therefore 14 months rather than twelve monihs. An increase in the national living wage, rising costs, inflation and increased staff costs were again significant and, together with the unpredictability of some of our funding for our services added io sectoral concerns and challenges, including for Glencraig. These factors have affected our corporate risk. (The trustees are responsible for the governance of risk management and continue to monitor items identified in the corporate risk register).
Discussions with the Department of Health continued with a view to securing a review of legacy funding and requests have also been addressed to the Department of Education to deal with funding levels and referrals.
Glencraig received a gift of £20,000 during 2024 from the ARN Foundation towards the work of the Adult Day Care Centre. A grant from the Public Health Agency was secured for £9,000 to run a Creative Therapies programme at Camphill School Glencraig using Art, Play and Music therapists. In addition, a donation of £50,000 was received from PF Homes towards the new school rooms.
Work has continued on strategic fundraising with the support of a fund raiser. Glencraig wish to express their acknowledgement and thanks for the generosity of all donors made during the period.
Significant efforts continue to ensure that effective financial control is in place through a comprehensive system of budget monitoring and control. Full monthly management accounts are prepared and submitted to the Finance and Resources Committee and actions are identified to ensure that financial stability is maintained. A new finance system was selected during 2024 and implementation coincided with the start of the new financial year.
Financial Reserves
in line with the recommendation of the Charity Commission, Camphill Community Glencraig is required to adopt a financial reserve policy to mitigate potential risks to the financial sustainability of the Charity.
The trustees recognise that there is a balance to be achieved between delivering our charitable objectives and managing the actual and potential risks of failing to meet our liabilities when they are due. As a result, we plan to hold a level of unresiricted financial reserves to mitigate these risks. The risks include:
-
Loss of a source of funding.
-
- Funding delays.
-
Costs associated with unforesean termination of a service or services.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted reserves, excluding investment in fixed assets, should be at a level that in the event of a significant drop in funding, we will be able to sustain the charity's current activities while any necessary restructuring is agreed.
The trustees consider that an unrestricted financial reserve of three months payroll and support costs pius potential redundancy costs should be targeted. At present our unrestricted reserves fall below that target. The trustees will continue to lock for additional ways to build up unrestricted funds to manage this risk and ensure the Charity’s sustainability.
9. Structure, Governance and Management
Camphill Community Glencraig is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and is a company limited by guarantee.
The charity is governed by a board of trustees, which can include up to two co-workers. We recently commenced a process to recruit new trustees to fill potential gaps arising from the imminent retirement of a number of existing trustees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Camphill Community Glencraig (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital)
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the charity financial statements of Camphill Community Glencraig (‘the charity’) for the financial period ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies set out in note 2, The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. In our opinion, when reporting in accordance with a fair presentation framework the financial statements: = give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its surplus for the financial period then ended; « have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and m= have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have conciuded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent ofherwise expliciily stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstaiements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: m the information given in the Strategic Report and the Trustees’ Annual Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements, and
- m the Strategic Report and the Trustees’ Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Camphill Community Glencraig
{A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- ms adequate accounting records have not been kept; or a the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums; or m certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 14, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
in preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audi€ of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether ihe financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
u The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
& We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management;
« We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
a Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
w Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
= Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
a Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
« Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
mw Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
= Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims,
15
| |{ | | | | , } |
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Camphill Community Glencraig (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital)
m Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, Companies House and the company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: m Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
a Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.
-
gs Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by trustees.
-
m Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we aré required to draw attention in our Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
= Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

- GENERAL INFORMATION

The registered office of the charity is 4 Seahill Road, Holywood, BT18 ODB, Northern Ireland which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound Sterting (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity's financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of lreland FRS 102".
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial period ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102”,
Fund accounting The following are the categories of funds maintained: Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.
a General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
a Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements, Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
a Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a

grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as income.
uTime based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement. grantIn the absenceincome is ofrecognisedsuch conditions,once the assumingcharity that receiptis notified of is entitlement. probable and the amount can be reliably measured,
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocaied to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.
Tangible Tangible fixe dd assets andare deprecistated a ttioncost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
Land and buildings freehold - 2% Straight line Plant and machinery - 10% Straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment ~ 33% Straight line Motor vehicles - 50% Straight line Biomass _ boiler - 6% Straight line
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes all costs incurred in the normal course of business in bringing them to their present location and condition. Inventories comprise consumables.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial period end, is included in debtors. Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
