Welcome

We look forward to our futureIn 2009/10 the Institute enjoyed yet another successful year of growth and

development, with an increase in student numbers and work commencing

at our new University Centre Grimsby on our Nuns Corner Campus.

In January 2010 the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

backed the decision to merge Yorkshire Coast College with

the Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education.

The merger brought together the depth of local knowledge and

established links of Yorkshire Coast College (YCC) with the strengths

of the Grimsby Institute, a larger, financially sound and experienced further

education college which has achieved significant success throughout its

education portfolio.

Our Lincolnshire Regional College (LRC) campus based in Skegness, offers

a wide range of both full and part-time courses to everyone from school

leavers right through to adults.

LRC works with the local community ensuring a programme of

qualifications are on offer to meet their needs whilst contributing to

the local economy.

We continue to build on our work in the region, to ensure we are delivering

an innovative, inspirational and high quality curriculum and look forward to

the future.

The iconic new

University Centre

Grimsby building will be

ready in 2011 and

heralds the dawn of a

new era for the

Grimsby Institute and

the region, offering

everyone the

opportunity to study

Higher Education in

an outstanding facility.

Financial Year

2009/10The merger with Yorkshire Coast College took effect on 1st January 2010 and its financial result for the seven months to 31st July 2010 is consolidated with the Institute’s results for the year.

For the year ending 31st July 2010, the Grimsby Institute Group, including Yorkshire Coast College, made an Operating Surplus of £1.230m, before exceptional costs of £1.933m, leaving a net deficit of £0.704m. The exceptional costs related to accelerated depreciation costs, professional fees incurred for the aborted new build and exceptional restructuring costs at Yorkshire Coast College which related to pension scheme costs.

The result for 2009/10 compares to an operating surplus for 2008/09 of £1.827m, less exceptional costs of £1.177m relating to the write-off of costs incurred for the whole campus new build project following withdrawal of support from the Learning & Skills Council, leaving a net surplus of £0.65m.

The charts within this section illustrate the financial stability of the Institute and give an insight as to where the income comes from and where the expenditure is spent.
