Structure, governance and management
th
Our charity is governed by our constitution last amended on the 8 December
2000.
All Trustees (committee members) are elected at the Annual General Meeting
by members of Bantham Surf Life Saving Club.
Achievements and performance
We successfully operated a Surf Life Saving Club made up of Senior, Youth and
Nipper memberships. Our youngest members are 7 years old and our Youth
st
section continues until the age of 18 as at the l January of the membership
year. We introduced a new category of membership, Social Membership, for
parents who wished to be connected with us but not directly involved. This
year our membership grew to 245 members up from 195 last year.
We created and delivered training sessions for Nippers, Youth and young
lifeguard trainee crew from May until December on Thursday evenings and
Sunday mornings.
We also provided pool sessions January to March at the Quayside Leisure
Centre in Kingsbridge which were attended by over 50 Youth and Nippers and
over 20 Seniors.
Over the year we have trained members for the following awards. Surf
Lifeguard, National Beach Lifeguard, Surf Lifesaver, Rescue Board and Rescue
Tube awards. Three Members attended training in Event Water Safety
Management and gained their qualifications.
Our coaches are trained to Coach Level l and Coach Level 2 as well as
Safeguarding training. Our club safeguarding officers have been busy ensuring
all those working alongside our Youth and Nipper members have been DBS
trained.
We opened our training room doors to a local congregation in order they can
deliver their Sea Service once a year and have a safe warm space to return to
and enjoy a cup of tea.
Our members took part in the local Swimarathon organised by the Rotary Club,
helping to raise monies for both our club and other good causes the Rotary
Club support. Members raised £1,683, resulting in the club receiving £845.
We ran a very successful Open Day; show casing our Youth and Nippers in
their Club Championships, Seniors provided Lifesaving Rescue Demonstrations,
we held a BBQ and cake sale, Grand Raffle and Auction of Lobsters.
We provide free water safety cover provided by our qualified members for the
famous Pub to Pub annual race which is open to the general public and as a
thank you we receive a generous donation from the organiser.
Financial Review
The club is in a healthy position with a balance at the banks standing at
£73,956.53
This is split between two accounts;
Natwest for our general day to day running costs at £27,066.10 and
Barclays for our reserves and building maintenance fund at £46,890.43
We keep on top of our everyday maintenance repairing and renewing as
required. The building maintenance fund is built up to cover repairs and
renewals that come with age but are expensive to afford generally ie the roof,
the sea defence gabions in front of the clubhouse keeping storms at bay.
We are expecting our roof to be identified as needing replacement within the
next few years and this year have replaced our front elevation balcony and
Observation Tower windows, we are yet to have been invoiced for the
windows.
Our reserves are built up to cover both the running costs of the club and to
increase our resources as we expand our membership and activities. We plan
on keeping at least six months running costs as this just about covers readiness
our busy beach season. May- December.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of Bantham Surf Life Saving Club
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bantham Surf Life Saving Club ("the Club") for the year ended 30 September 2023 which are set out on pages 2 to 6
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity trustees of the Club, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
I report in respect of my examination of the Club's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and, in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Club as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- 2) the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and 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.
