Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
The trustees present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The Base Resilience project was completed in 2023 and this has represented a significant part (31%) of our 2023 expenditure |
Barclays Bank closed the Team's account in 2023 for reasons that remain unclear, but after an investigation and much effort by the previous Treasurer, the account was re-opened, re-credited with the balance at closure and a compensation payment of £500 made to the team. Barclays have acknowledged in writing that the closure was their error. The Team continues to bank with Barclays and HSBC. |
As High Street banks continue to close the means of paying in cash collected at events, from pubs and cafes and at Tebay Services will become more difficult. Day to day banking, including paying in cheques is mainly electronic. |
During 2023 total income exceeded budgeted income by £23K (56% of the budget) due mainly to two very generous and unexpected donations. |
The majority of the Team's income (55%) came from donations, either directly or via the Charities Aid Foundation or through collections at fell races and shows. |
The next highest category of income (21%) was in the form of grants from LDSAMRA |
The third highest category of income (17%) was from the three cash collections carried out at Tebay Services through the year. |
The Team continues to benefit from the tireless support of The Westmorland Family including their permission to collect at Tebay Services, for which we are very grateful. |
In 2023 the Team became a beneficiary of a significant legacy, but since there are several beneficiaries and the funds are currently held in various investments, the length of the probate process means that the precise amount and date when the monies will be transferred are currently unclear. Nevertheless, the Team has asked members to consider how much (if any) of the bequest should be spent and how much invested. |
At the November committee meeting the Team took a decision to increase the general operational reserve to £120K. |
Apart from the conclusion of the Base Resilience project, the most significant spend during 2023 was on rescue equipment, followed by medical supplies then energy, motor vehicles and insurance costs. |
The team started 2024 in a healthy financial position with total cash assets of £230K which compares well with £200K at the start of 2023. |
The Team expects to increase spend on clothing and equipment in 2024 but spend on maintenance of buildings and vehicles is expected to be normal. Our cash position is expected to improve further in 2024. |
The Team's financial position is very secure and we remain in a good position to serve our stakeholders in our part of the country. |

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE |
Team Leaders Report 2023 |
The Team received 23 calls for assistance, an increase on 2022's figures and closer to our long term average. As usual, they were diverse in their nature, although not as many community related as we might typically expect. The Team assisted several LDSAMRA Teams, including Kendal, Penrith and Wasdale, and there continues to be a great deal of work between Teams concerning planning and sharing of information to allow us to operate as safely as possible. |
The use of technology to aid communication between the Team and the statutory Emergency Services continues to develop, with SARCALL, Resilience Direct, and other platforms regularly being used. Airwave, the radio system used by the emergency services, continues to give us direct communications across Cumbria with not only the emergency services, but also all other LDSAMRA Teams. This continues to be an invaluable resource in areas of poor VHF radio or mobile phone coverage. Delays in the introduction of a replacement system mean that we are likely to keep using Airwave for some time, and Cumbria Police have assured LDSAMRA Teams that they will fully support us with the provision of the necessary equipment. With the increase in coverage of 3G and 4G networks, the Team have also adopted the use of VOIP as a means of communication. |
The Team continues to maintain its water rescue capability, and undertake accredited training in first aid, driving and rope work. The regular replacement and upgrading of essential equipment has continued. |
Having acquired the freehold to our base, work has been started to improve the grounds, with the grass area to the front of the building being laid with a grid to allow the area to remain grass but enable it to be used for car parking and training. A new gate was also fitted. |
The Team, in common with all others, is funded by voluntary donations and its members continue to work diligently |
to provide the income necessary to maintain effective round-the-clock readiness. The Team relies heavily on the motorway service station collections we are lucky to have access to and, although the effects of increases in the cost of living are undoubtedly making giving a more difficult choice, the level of donations was similar to previous years. Prudent financial management of the Team over the years has allowed us to accrue reserves held specifically for eventualities such as those we are currently experiencing, and the day to day running of the Team has not been affected. With the prospect of reduced income for the next year or two seeming likely, careful management of expenditure will be high on the committee's agenda. |
We gratefully acknowledge the support and assistance of all those who assist us through the provision of grants or by way of individual donations be they financial or in kind. The Team benefits from the support of its 'Friends of the Team' support group. |
The Team has maintained a sound level of appropriately skilled members. At the close of the year the Team had 28 Full Team members, 5 Support members and 6 Inductees in training. |
It is from the voluntary contribution by way of time, skill, experience, and enthusiasm that individual members commit to the team that Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue is able to achieve its aim to provide effective cover, a safety net, for the Upper Eden and Lune valleys that would otherwise be difficult to source quickly from elsewhere. |
That commitment by members is acknowledged with thanks, for it continues to be the foundation of all we do. |
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 12 March 2024 and signed on its behalf by: |
