Our reopening in the week of 22nd June was heralded with a visit by the BBC and Tim Farron, MPfor the constituency of Westmorland and Lonsdale. We are especially indebted to Tim who hasbeen so supportive of Bendrigg and the outdoor sector, as a whole, during the pandemic. Despitethe complexities facing us during the year, we completed a Renewable Energy Feasibility Studywhich will certainly feature in our future strategic planning. Other initiatives of note include thesetting up of a Disability Advisory Group, representing a variety of stakeholders, which has metremotely on several occasions. Most significantly, the financial prediction at the beginning of theyear of a deficit of circa £150,000 was turned into a small surplus by December: huge thanks go toall of our donors, supporters, auditors and the superb financial management of the Bendrigg Team. Once again, we applaud the professionalism and support of all of our staff team. Despite a furtherfive months of furlough, their loyalty remained outstanding and huge positivity was displayedwhen they returned. This has been an exceptionally challenging year for them with, for example,the ongoing issues involving compliance with the comprehensive covid measures and inevitablegroup cancellations. On behalf of all the trustees, I say, “Thank you. You really do not know howdeeply you are appreciated.” In addition, we give huge thanks to all our volunteers and our funders:without you, we would quite simply not be able to operate.Our thanks go to Clare Millington who stepped down as a trustee at the 2021 AGM. In addition,thank you to all trustees as your ongoing commitment to Bendrigg continues: we were able toadapt from full Teams Meetings to a hybrid version from September with some trustees able toattend on site while retaining Teams on the ‘big screen’ for those not able to travel. This has beenanother highly demanding year but your commitment has played a vital role in facilitating thesuccess that Bendrigg has achieved.A further development in 2021 has a key part to play: restructuring of the Management Team isnow in place. Given the enormity of events and their impact on Bendrigg during the last two years,we have the opportunity to assess our current situation, priorities and challenges. In turn this willlead us to consider our strategy and business planning for the future: these are exiting times. Feedback from groups visiting Bendrigg in 2021 has been outstanding: they have, withoutexception stated how much Bendrigg has been needed – how important it has been to come backand reconnect with the outdoors and other people. In the words of one staff member, “What awonderful, magical time.”None of the above would be possible without the superb contribution of all of our stakeholders.From another visiting staff member, “I would just like to express what an amazing group of peoplewho run your trust are.” I agree: and to you all, as Chairman, I simply say, “Thank you.”It is indeed the needs of our visitors that are our priority. And with the truly exceptional leadershipof our Director, Nick Liley, Bendrigg can surely look forward to ‘magical times’ as we enter 2022and consider the future.A YEAR OF TWO HALVESCHAIRMAN'S STATEMENTRachael Hodgson, ChairmanP A G E 3With the country once again in full lockdown weentered 2021 with a great degree of uncertainty aboutwhat the coming year would hold for us. However, asthe months progressed it became obvious that our aimof being able to reopen in the summer would befulfilled: on Monday 22nd June, after fourteen monthsof closure, our doors finally reopened. And 2021 hasproved to be, despite one or two inevitable setbacks (asan example, Storm Arwen and the havoc wreaked onour woodland – now being cleared by contractors andvolunteers – and destruction of our Teepee), anextraordinarily positive year for Bendrigg.

Thanks to grant funding we were ableto commission a feasibility study foron-site renewable energy. Various stakeholders have beenconsulted to start building a draftTheory of Change model and aStrategic Plan Working Group has beencreated to begin this process in 2022. A Disability Advisory Group has beencreated with members from variousstakeholder groups. A new Climbing for All booklet inconjunction with the BMC is due to bepublished in 2022. The original cautious budget forecast a£150,000 deficit for the year.

A C H IE VE M E N T S A ND P E R F O R MA NC E2 0 2 1 A T A G L A N C EThere was such uncertainty as we entered 2021 as tohow much longer the pandemic would affect ourservices and what support would be forthcoming, thatwe were cautiously predicting an £150,000 deficit forthe year. We are therefore delighted to report a£29,040 surplus for the year before depreciation. This isthanks to the demand from our visitors, to return ingreater numbers and more quickly than predicted, aswell as fundraising success with existing and newfunders and supporters. A C H I E V I N G A SU R P L U SR E O P E N I N GP R O T E C T I N G J O B SThe Covid pandemic meant that Bendrigg was closed toresidential visitors for over 14 months. On the 22ndJune 2021, we welcomed our first residential groupsback to Bendrigg. This significant milestone was coveredby BBC North West News and local MP, Tim Farron,came to Bendrigg to lend his support after being such astrong voice for the 'Save Outdoor Education' campaignthroughout the pandemic. It's our people that make Bendrigg so special. Duringthe pandemic, a significant concern for many people wasjob security. Thanks to Government funding andstringent internal governance, we were able to protectjobs whilst we were closed. This in turn, has enabled usto 'bounce back' once we were able to reopen our doorsin June 2021.

P A G E 8Throughout 2021 Bendrigg adapted to the ever-changingrestrictions and guidance. When able, we opened up ourgrounds for free exclusive access for shielding families.During the summer we offered free day activities forthose who had been isolating for so long and before ourresidential services reopened, families were able to hireour accessible accommodation for self-catering breaks. S U P P O R T I N G F A MI L I E SN E W M I N I B U SR E N E W A B L E E N E R G Y F E A S I B I LT YS T U D Y The Hartley Trust granted us £65,000 towards a newminibus with grant payments spanning both 2020 and2021. By agreement, Bendrigg delayed purchasing thevehicle until the centre reopened in 2021. Delivery of thenew, fully accessible vehicle was taken in Autumn 2021,increasing the size of our fleet to 7. Thanks to funding from the Rural Community EnergyFund via the Local Energy North West Hub, Bendrigg wasable to commission a feasibility study looking at thevarious options of reducing our carbon footprint. Thisstudy looked at the technology available as well asplanning, finance and legal issues and produced a reportdetailing possible options for Bendrigg to consider. Aswell as identifying some short term solutions, the reportwill help inform issues in the next strategic plan. Th e m os t a cc ess ib le pla ce we h ave e ver b e en an d themo st in clu si ve.

P A G E 9In 2021 we embarked on our Hidden Disabilities Project tohelp ease the anxieties of people with learning disabilities,communication difficulties & autism. The four part projecthas seen us develop a range of resources including a guidedtour & action pack, giving people more details about ourfacilities to help put them at ease. Progress for this projecthas been delayed by the pandemic but we are alreadyseeing more enquiries as a result of what we have achievedso far.H I D D E N D I S A B IL I T I E S P R O J E CTN I C A SD I S A B I L I T Y A D V I SO R Y G R O U PIn 2021, Bendrigg became a National Indoor ClimbingAward Scheme (NICAS) accredited provider. NICAS is a UK-wide scheme designed to promote climbing developmentand accredit individual achievements on indoor/artificialclimbing walls. This is a great opportunity for members ofthe Bendrigg Climbing Club to progress their skills and towork towards, and receive, a nationally recognised award. In 2021 we successfully launched a new Bendrigg DisabilityAdvisory Group. The group is made up of Bendrigg visitors,staff and trustees and its purpose is to help advise andguide the organisation moving forwards. We have alreadyhad a number of meetings which have helped to guide theBendrigg services and projects in 2021.

In September 2021 the students undertook a comprehensive analysis of thevolunteer programme to look at how we could increase the numbers of volunteers signing up andensure the volunteer programme was being seen as a positive project. We also wanted to see ifthere was a way that the benefits of volunteering could be increased by both the volunteersthemselves, and Bendrigg Trust. The students surveyed a number of volunteers and identified a highsatisfaction rate with key comments being: working with different people from variousbackgrounds, exceptional friendliness and support of the Bendrigg staff, excellent food andaccommodation facilities. They also made several recommendations for marketing campaigns toattract more volunteers & inspired the trust to look at a "revamp" of the volunteer scheme which welook forward to developing in 2022.144volunteersWe weresupported byat Bendriggin 2021Due to the pandemic and restrictions within the prison services, we were unable to restart our BendriggAlternative Scheme in 2021.

PAGE 13 2021 FUNDRAISING ACHIEVEMENTS Ordinarily we would see costs for staffing and other unavoidable core costs covered by a large proportion of income from our residential services However as we remained closed for half the year much of this income was lost Therefore fundraising has been paramount to the survival of Bendrigg throughout the pandemic and the Bendrigg fundraising team has worked incredibly hard to make up for the additional loss of income It is worth noting that Bendrigg doesn t ordinarily receive Government funding but in 2021 we received 135 449 towards staffing costs through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme CJRS Without this funding Bendrigg would have had to consider redundancies or use up a large proportion of our reserves to retain our highly skilled staff team leaving the charity in a vulnerable position going forward 2021 Total funds raised 559 182 Course Income 363 900 Trusts Foundations Government Funding Individual Donors Corporate Partnerships Events 42 32 8 3 7 3 5 43 41 8 3 3 2 0 Gift Aid Legacies In Memory 2020 Total funds raised 647 100 Course Income 162 680 559 182 raised through fundraising in 2021 Where this money was spent 327 467 82 698 General Funds to support our charitable activities and unavoidable running costs Specific funding for equipment staff capital IT and other projects 59 15 135 449 13 568 Specific funding claimed for staffing CJRS To use for group individual sponsorship for those unable to afford our services 24 2

The Board of Trustees is sensitive to potential risks to which the charity may be exposed.Risk RegisterThe management of risk by Bendrigg Trust is based upon a Risk Register (‘the Register’) whichhas been in use since February 2017. The Register is kept under active consideration by theCentre Director and is reviewed every 6 months by the Risk Register Committee, which consistsof the Centre Director and up to 3 Trustees. The last bi-annual review of the Register was on14th January 2022. ResponsibilitiesThe Risk Committee reports to the Trustees in Council. Risk Management is ultimately theresponsibility ofall Trustees. It is the Trustees duty(assisted by the Risk Committee)to identifyrisks, to devise systems for managing those risks (or ensure that proper systems have beendevised) and to monitor these systems to ensure that they are beingput into effect.The risks considered in the register are considered under six headings:Risks posed by the Covid-19 Pandemic The most significant risk to Bendrigg, posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, remains financial. Asa result, this is being closely monitored by the Trustees and steps are being put in place tomitigate these risks.Whilst retaining staff has been a high priority for Bendrigg during the pandemic, the Trustdid see a small number of staff depart in 2020 and 2021. During the period of closure, thedecision was taken to delay replacing staff as a financial defensive measure. Since reopening,recruitment for certain roles, such as Tutors and Domestic Assistants has been difficult.However, following a number of mitigating steps taken by Trustees in early 2022,recruitment has improved. Recruitment remains an active risk on the Risk Register. 2022The Trustees have recognised the financial risks associated with the 2022 energy and 'cost ofliving' crisis, and the potential impact this will have on Bendrigg and its visitors. This is beingclosely monitored by the Trustees and mitigating steps are currently being considered. Public BenefitFrom 2008, the Charities Act has required all charities to meet the legal requirement that itsaims are for the public benefit. For this to be true there must be an identifiable benefit and thebenefit must be to the public or a section of the public.The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the charity, and the activitiesreported on in its annual report to achieve those aims, meet these principles.R I S K M A N A G E M E N TExternal Law & RegulationCompliance OperationalFinancialGovernanceCovid-19PandemicP A G E 1 9

The Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) for the year ended 31 December 2021 shows atotal deficit of £86,914 (2020: deficit of £103,384), made up from an unrestricted surplus of£37,920 and a restricted funds deficit of £124,834. The overall deficit was deducted from thereserves brought forward of £3,760,677, to give total reserves at the balance sheet date of£3,673,763. We are delighted to be able to report this return to surplus in our unrestricted activities in2021, in spite of another very challenging year, during which Bendrigg was still dealing with theongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Bendrigg site remained closed to residentialclients until late June, meaning another year of reduced income from our normal charitableactivities; down from £734,840 in 2019 to £363,900 in 2021 (2020: £162,680). To offset thisongoing reduction in client income we continued to receive outstanding support from ourdonors and supporters through the year, for which we are immensely grateful; with donorincome up from £403,857 in 2020 to £423,733 in 2021. The Government’s ‘Coronavirus JobRetention Scheme’ (CJRS) also continued to play an important role, contributing a further£135,449 towards the costs of our staff team in the early part of the year. The return toresidential course delivery, together with superb support from our donors and theGovernment’s CJRS scheme, has served to enable the organisation to return to surplus soonerthan expected. Our initial budgets for the year had suggested a potential deficit of £150,000, soit is hugely encouraging to see the progress made since the re-opening of the site and theresulting unrestricted surplus at year end.The Balance Sheet at 31 December confirms net assets of £3,673,763, with net current assetsof £419,281 (2020: £484,489) and net cash balances of £822,043 (2020: £586,264). It shouldbe emphasised that this cash position is temporarily increased by £250,000, this being the valueof the short term ‘Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBIL)’ that was drawn down in April2021; this facility was repaid in April 2022, within the initial interest free period, and ourunrestricted cash balance have therefore now returned to more normal levels. It is alsoimportant to emphasise that the majority of the cash balance relates to unrestricted funds, with£748,072 held as unrestricted and £73,971 held for restricted purposes (see note 21, page 47);this cash position continues to provide Bendrigg with good financial resilience for the furtherchallenges that we face in 2022. The Balance Sheet also shows the carrying value of ourproperty and other fixed assets, at £3,254,482, most of which are funded by restricted capitalfunds. The Cash Flow Statement provides the detail of the cash movements during the year to 31December, showing that the overall cash position strengthened significantly in 2021, due to thedraw-down of the CBIL loan facility in particular. If the CBIL facility is excluded from theStatement, then net cash reduced by just over £14,000, due to restricted fund expenditureonly.Overall the Financial Statements reflect a robust position after another challenging butimproving year. The Bendrigg management team have worked tirelessly to enable a return totrading surplus over the year, and their efforts place the organisation in a strengtheningposition at the year end.

Going Concern Prospects for the next financial year are cautiously positive, in terms of client demand anddonor support, but we are wary of the effects of the war in Ukraine and the wider economicchallenges in the country that result from rapid inflation. We expect costs to rise therefore,while we are still recovering to pre-pandemic levels of site occupancy and income generation,and we expect this combination of factors to result in a small trading deficit in the year ahead.Having said this, we start the year with substantial unrestricted cash balances and we areconfident that the assumption of Going Concern remains entirely valid, based upon a range ofrisk scenarios that have been considered for 2022 and early 2023.Reserves PolicyFree reserves available for use by the Charity are deemed to be those that are realisable, minusfunds where the uses are ‘restricted’ or otherwise ‘designated’ for particular purposes. Thiscalculation thus excludes funds of £3.2million invested in property and other fixed assets thatwill continue to be used in the day-to-day running of the charity. As a matter of policy, each year the Trustees review the value of the reserves retained in theform of investments, cash and cash equivalents not held for restrictive purposes or designatedprojects. The Board considers the Charity’s exposure to major risks, in terms of their likelyimpact on its income sources and planned expenditure in the short to medium term, as well asassessing the best way to mitigate such risks. With income, the major risk is from a decline incourse fees or donor income, particularly due to the worsening economic situation and otherfactors leading to reduced bookings and donations. In previous years we have established a target range for free reserves, based upon holding anamount equivalent to at least four months' worth of normal expenditure. Where fundsexceeded the reserve requirement, we considered these to be 'free reserves', available for useon other unrestricted projects or similar. Given the emerging economic uncertainties, and alsogiven the ongoing potential for a resurgence in Covid-19, we will continue to adopt analternative and more cautious approach, whereby all of our unrestricted funds are re-purposedentirely towards enabling the Trust to overcome any ongoing financial challenges in the yearahead. As a result, our entire unrestricted funds balance of £422,975 remains re-purposed forthe next 12 month period at least, as are all available unrestricted cash balances. Our normalReserves Policy will therefore remain suspended until such time as the Trustees consider itappropriate and sensible for this to be re-instated. P A G E 2 1FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trustees recognise the extremely valuable contributionmade by volunteers and wish to place on record their thanksfor their commitment. Volunteering at Bendrigg covers manyareas of work including activity delivery, office administration,domestic duties, grounds and building maintenance and muchmore. The list is endless. No amounts are included in thefinancial statements to reflect the value of the workundertaken by our volunteers.The day-to-day running of Bendrigg lies with the Centre Director and through him, the SeniorManagement team. The Trustees are grateful to all members of staff for their continuedsupport during another challenging year. Bendrigg Trust seeks to be an employer of choiceand reviews on an annual basis the level of remuneration and other benefits awarded to staff.In 2021 Bendrigg undertook a more detailed benchmarking exercise with other similarorganisations and made adjustments were it was felt necessary. As a result of this, all staffare now paid at least the Real Living Wage. Pay Policy for Senior StaffBendrigg Trust's approach to paying senior staff is to appropriately reward staff for the workthey do. It recognises the need to ensure value for money for the charity, balanced with theneed to recruit and retain staff. The Board of Trustees is responsible for defining the policyand deciding on the salaries of the Centre Director and Senior Managers and all salaries arereviewed on an annual basis. "Ou r fam il y e nj oy e d th e b es t m os t i nc lus iv eexp er ien ce w e h av e e ve r h ad .

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UnitedKingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance withChapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state tothem in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do notaccept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitablecompany’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. In our opinion the financial statements:• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Responsibilities of TrusteesAs explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 25, the Trustees(who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) areresponsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a trueand fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitablecompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidatethe charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor’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 amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We designprocedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements inrespect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extentto which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:Because of the industry in which the charity operates, we identified the following areas as those mostlikely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Health and Safety, including meeting therequirements of the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority; employment law, and compliance withthe UK Companies Act and Charities Act. P A G E 2 8

Page 29

I N D E P E N D E N T A U D I T O R SR E P O R TAuditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities,including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance withregulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from theevents and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become awareof instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraudrather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission ormisrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx.

Accounting policiesLegal formBendrigg Trust is a registered charity and a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by theCompanies Act 2006, incorporated in England and Wales.

The particular accounting policies adopted by the Trustees are described below. Thesepolicies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basisThe trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are anymaterial uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability ofthe Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees consider the charity to have a sufficientlevel of working capital and have made an assessment in respect of a period of at least one yearfrom the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements. There are no materialuncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adoptthe going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. IncomeDonations and legacies are included in the accounts on a cash received basis or where there is acertainty of receipt and the amount is quantifiable. Grants and donations in respect of specificprojects are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they arereceivable and are credited to restricted reserves.1Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021P A G E 3 3

Accounting policies (continued)Investment income is credited to the statement of financial activities in the period in which itbecomes receivable. Income from charitable activities is recognised in the period to which it relates. Government grants and CJRS (Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme) claims are recognised in theperiod to which they relate. ExpenditureAll expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis in the expense categories required by theSORP. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to makepayments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of theobligation can be measured reliably. Costs are further allocated between the activities undertakenon a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Charitable activities expenditure includes costs incurred in the delivery of the Charity’s activitiesand services. It includes both direct costs, including staff costs, that are incurred in the delivery ofthe activities and services and indirect costs which are required to support the delivery of thecharitable objects.Costs of raising funds include those costs in relation to the Charity’s operations which are used togenerate further income which is integral to the Charity in meeting its charitable objectives.

Accounting policies (continued)Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured attransaction price and are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Financial assets classified as receivablewithin one year are not amortised.Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that the estimated future cash flows havebeen affected. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire orare settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership to another entity.Basic financial liabilitiesBasic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price, where the debtinstrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments aresubsequently carried at amortised cost.Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary courseof business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within oneyear or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged orcancelled.Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from theseestimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects bothcurrent and future periods. Key assumptions, judgements and estimates In the opinion of the Trustees, there have been no significant judgements made in the process of applyingthe above accounting policies. There have been no key assumptions concerning future and other keysources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.12Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021P A G E 3 6
