Oban Mountain Rescue Team Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 a Structure, governance and management (continued) Risk Management & trustee induction The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. In particular, members of the team are encouraged to attend a minimum proportion of training sessions which are held by the team twice a month including one full hill day and one evening session, and each year the team sends several members to technical training courses run by Scottish Mountain Rescue to build individual knowledge and ensure the team's Operating procedures are in line with current good practice. Training attendance is recorded and monitored annually together with team members’ personal logbooks of hill activity out with the team to ensure that core skills and hill-fitness are being maintained. There is a further requirement for all members to attend a formal assessment of core skills, both summer and winter, at least once every three years. All members are required to hold a valid first aid certificate and 13 members have attained the higher qualification of Casualty Carer. We continue to take on new probationers as suitable candidates present themselves or are recommended by current members, and in this way we generally keep pace with natural turnover. We currently have 36 team members and 0 probationers. Probationers must serve a minimum of one year as a probationer and this must include a full winter season. They play a full part in team activities, but are mentored when they join the call-out list at the discretion of the team leader. Regular equipment checks take place, especially after rescues, and the team leadership and committee are proactive in reviewing all areas of the team's Operational performance on a regular basis. Each Committee meeting considers a report on the current financial position of the team and budgets are prepared and reviewed regularly for the major areas of expenditure such as equipment and training. A business plan is reviewed regularly to plan for longer term financial objectives such as maintenance or replacement of key team assets such as vehicles and rescue posts. Objectives and activities The saving of lives through the provision of a voluntary mountain rescue service in the UK particularly in Argyll for any person/persons suffering accident, illness, or other difficulties arising from natural hazard or who are in need of such mountain rescue, first aid and other assistance anywhere in the mountains, lowlands or any other place where the Team Leader or Depute Team Leader may direct, and to assist in the recovery of bodies of those persons who have sustained a fatal accident.

eee 3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: * 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. * legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. * income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. * income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: e expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. * expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. ¢ other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Tangible assets Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomesa party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

- Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued) For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the Carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. 4.

St John Scotland - OMRT Building In August 2017 the premises at 204 Sinclair Drive which St John Scotland owned was acquired by the Oban Mountain Rescue Team for nil consideration. The effective donation of the property has been recognised in the statement of financial activities at the fire reinstatement cost of £427,500 as valued by the chartered surveyors less 5%.
Green Power
During the year a grant of £7,000 was received towards the costs of electrical works to complete the electrical installation of the new Taynuilt building. The actual costs were marginally above the grant with the balance from unrestricted funds.

The team has built a new Rescue Post and garage in Taynuilt (see No. 6) which is nearing completion. This will also require future maintenance and repair.
Medical Equipment Funds have been designated for replacement and repair of stretchers, casualty packaging, defibrillators, monitoring equipment etc. Training Expenses
