Objectives and activities
| SORP ref. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The purpose of Adventures Offshore is to provide young people an opportunity to obtain and develop transferrable life skills that will contribute to their personal development and enable them to thrive in society. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Use sailing as a medium to enhance young people’s sense of purpose and self-esteem, not just to teach them to sail. Create opportunities for personal development in a safe but physically challenging environment and to encourage initiative and leadership skills. Provide the basis for a communal experience on board ship in which teamwork and co-operation are at least as important as self-reliance and individual fortitude. Develop the values of_Integrity_,Respect,_Care_and _Cooperation_amongst our beneficiaries and to encourage understanding and tolerance of_Beliefs_and ideas that may not coincide directly with their own. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | Adventures Offshore meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. |
Achievements and performance
| SORP ref. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity enabled young beneficiaries to spend 963 nights at sea (2023/24: 749). The beneficiaries learned the values of teamwork, tolerance and fortitude in a challenging environment. These are life skills that will help them integrate and make a greater contribution to society as a whole. 23 people successfully undertook expeditions for their DofE Awards (2023/24: 36). Other beneficiaries have joined our young sea staff training scheme, which will enable them to provide similar experiences to future beneficiaries. |
Financial review
| SORP ref. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Summary The result for the latest season was a surplus of £5k (2023/24: £1k deficit). The improvement on last year was driven by a 29% increase in nights at sea, mostly due to the prior year’s sailing season being disrupted by unplanned boat maintenance. A notable highlight during the year was the successful delivery of the new Introduction to Maritime Careers scheme. The is an evolution of our MPATS scheme that offers young people with no obvious post- compulsory education route with some training, employable qualifications and routes into the work place. This scheme fully supports our charitable objective. The trustees continued to protect the charity as a going concern by minimising discretionary expenditure, but also ensuring that the boats were well maintained for the subsequent season. This prudent approach means that the organisation is in a good financial position given the current environment. Income Total income of £108k was £7k better than last year (2023/24: £101k), but remained worse than pre-covid (2018/19: £138k). Excluding the prior year receipt of £15k of insurance income relating to the water ingress incidents, the uplift in total income was £22k. This was mostly attributable to the £23k increase in cruise fees to £78k (2023/24: £55k) due to both boats being out of service for unplanned maintenance for a significant proportion of the prior sailing season. Grants and donations were broadly static at £27k (2023/24: £28k). Bursaries and grants were received from the Association of Sail Training Organisations, the TK Foundation, and the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation. Expenditure Equipment, repairs and maintenance were £28k better than last year due to repairs required by the water ingress incidents during the prior year. Food, fuel and cruise expenses increased by £3k due to the increase in nights at sea. Training courses were £4k higher than last year as the powerboat training part of the Introduction to Maritime Careers course was outsourced. Administration costs were £17k worse than last year due to the prior year release in full of an unused provision for the potential repayment to HMRC of input VAT which may have been overclaimed. A fundraising event was held, for which the £3k costs were kindly donated by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation. Balance Sheet The balance sheet remains strong. The organisation wholly owns the two boats and thelong-term leasehold |
| on the office space, whilst continuing to operate without any loans, mortgages, or other long-term liabilities. Cash increased by £5k during the year (2023/24: £12k decrease) in line with the net surplus. The balance of £129k is considered enough for the organisation to meet its financial commitments over the next twelve months. |

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The trustees aim to ensure that the charity works within its means and maintains a prudent level of reserves, sufficient to allow it to withstand unforeseen operational issues or cash flow disruption. An updated cash reserves policy was agreed by the trustees during 2024/25. Restricted cash reservesconsist of grants & donations held on trust for specific purposes (see Note 14 for a breakdown). One category of restricted funds is the Bursary fund, which allows the organisation to offer funding assistance to beneficiaries. As most of the organisation’s bursary assistance is awarded as single-year deals, these financial commitments can be reduced in an orderly manner if donations materially reduce. Free cash reservesexist to allow the organisation to meet short-term and emergency funding needs. Free cash reserves are calculated as the total of cash and liquid investments, less restricted cash reserves. The charity owns two high value fixed assets (the boats) and reserves are required to pay for unforeseen repairs. Single equipment items can cost over £20k to replace. Free reserves are also required to mitigate the risk of a significant period of booking cancellations and lost income. This is most likely to be due to major unforeseen repairs which take time to carry out, but could also be due to extreme weather, government travel advice or an epidemic disease. Noting the significant risk of simultaneously having to repair the boats and cancel bookings, the trustees consider it is appropriate to hold the full cost of winding up the charity (estimated at £30k) plus 75% of annual cruise fee income in reserve. The actual reserves of £141k at 31 October 2025 are higher than the lower limit. The trustees actively monitor the reserves to ensure the organisation continues as a going concern. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | The table below compares the organisation’s actual cash reserves at 31 October 2025 to the range set out in the reserves policy.

Para 1.22 | N/A |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Overall, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient available financial resources to support operations for the coming financial year. As such, the |
| trustees believe that the charity is a going concern and have prepared the accounts on that basis. |

| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | Bursary fund Circa 160% of the bursary fund was invested in the COIF Charities Ethical Investment fund, managed by CCLA Investment Management, at 31 October 2025. This is a diversified fund, investing circa 50% in overseas equities, 20% in U.K. equities, and the remainder distributed equally across other asset classes. The trustees do not anticipate calls on this fund in the near term. Other reserves Reserves other than the Bursary fund are held as cash in accounts with minimal notice periods for withdrawal. Although the returns available in such accounts are poor, the trustees have assessed the risks we face and believe that it is necessary to be able to make immediate calls on the whole reserve fund. |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | The trustees have identified the major risks to which they believe the organisation is exposed; these have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas of concern that have been identified are: Accident at sea: Sea staff are fully qualified, there are regular training days and a comprehensive set of manuals and processes that are continuously reviewed and monitored to manage safety at sea. The organisation has a marine accident insurance policy with Navigators & General. Significant vessel breakdown: There is an ongoing regime of continuous maintenance refit inspections and planned replacements and stock of common parts. Crew shortage: The charity is dependent upon the goodwill of unpaid volunteers. There is an ongoing programme of training young people (Young Sea Staff Scheme). Older volunteers are continually recruited by word of mouth. Interruption to voyage income: Example causes include vessel breakdown, crew shortage, statutory suspension due to pandemic, etc. Active financial management and the reserves policy mitigate this risk for a substantial period. Reduction in grant and bursary income: The reserves policy enables temporary respite to a short-term dip. The organisation works closely with existing and potential supporters to try to align our activities with their specific and targeted aims, where they fit with our own charitable objectives. |
| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 | Principal sources of income in a normal year are voyage fees and grants and bursaries from external bodies. See the financial review above for the specific 2024/25 year. |

ADVENTURES OFFSHORE
LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
I report on the accounts of Adventures Offshore for the year ended 31 October 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 15..
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Revenue grants are credited to the income and expenditure account as received unless related to a specific purpose, when they are placed in restricted funds until used.
1.3 Resources expended
Expenditure is included in the accounts on an accruals basis. VAT is recoverable by the charity and is included with the expenditure to which it relates.
Support costs which could not be attributed directly to activities are apportioned equally between activities.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold land is not depreciated Freehold buildings 2% straight line Yachts 3% straight line Office equipment/Other equipment 20% straight line
1.5 Taxation
The organisation is a registered charity and, as such is exempt from corporation tax.
