## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF NUNEATON & BEDWORTH UNIT 616 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS** 

The Charity Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The financial statements comply with both the Charity’s Constitution and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Aim of the Sea Cadet Corps** 

The aim of the Sea Cadets Corps is to give young people the best possible head start in life, through nautical adventure and fun, based on the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy. Our aim is to develop young people and support them towards responsible adulthood. 

## **Charitable Purpose** 

The charitable purpose of the Unit is to promote the development of young people in achieving their physical, intellectual and social potential as individuals and as responsible citizens. This is achieved by the provision of education and leisure time activities using a nautical theme, based on the traditions of the Royal Navy and in accordance with the principles, ethos and practices of the Marine Society & Sea Cadets (MSSC). 

In furtherance of the Purpose, the Unit offers young people a structured environment in which to develop; provides access to education and training including sailing, rowing, windsurfing, paddle sports, power boating, seamanship, navigation, marine engineering, cooking, music, first aid, drill, piping, and public services; it provides opportunities for young people to obtain a range of qualifications and a wide range of opportunities for community involvement. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees continue to give regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance ‘Charities and Public Benefit’ provided by the Unit in relation to the charitable purpose of the Sea Cadets movement as set out in the activities and achievements outlined in this report. 

To achieve its aim the Unit encourages recruitment of young people from all backgrounds and abilities including where possible, and within the realms of Health and Safety, those with disabilities and develops their skills and abilities by: 

- ➢ Regular structured activities with a nautical theme 

- ➢ Enabling young people to take part in activities connected with the wider Sea Cadet Corps 

- ➢ Movement such as waterborne activities, events and competitions at district, area and national levels 

- ➢ Availability of formal achievements whilst completing courses to earn badges and promotions 

We continue to target recruitment within the local area giving young people opportunities to take part in activities that in many cases would otherwise be unaffordable. 

We are only able to do this because we are wholly volunteer led and all funds raised or received are used entirely for the charitable purposes of the Unit.

## **Interim Chairpersons Report – Mrs Margaret Blizzard (June 2020 – March 2021)** 

In March 2020 we saw the beginning of a pandemic that no one could have predicted would last as long as it has. For the first time in our history, we had to close for a sustained period and adapt both the training offered to the cadets as well as how we met as Trustees, virtual meetings via a Zoom link became the norm and have proved to be effective. There have been several changes with regards to the Board and all members have been co-opted since the last Annual General Meeting. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have served as trustees during this period, it has not been easy and a special mention to Mrs Jennie Trevitt former Chairperson and Lt (SCC) Karen Cousins former Commanding Officer. 

Many of our adult volunteers are essential and front-line workers and have all been stretched to their limits physically, mentally, and emotionally. To their credit they have continued to support the unit, and in many ways, I believe this has been their salvation. Engagement with Sea Cadets has provided a distraction from the ongoing situation, giving them some normality, albeit in a very different way, and they have benefitted immensely from it too, their dedication is unquestionable. In the absence of the Commanding Officer, Lt (SCC) Dean Marshall, the Deputy District Officer was appointed as Interim Commanding Officer and responded enthusiastically to the challenge of supporting and continuing the development of the existing volunteers, recruiting and reattracting additional volunteers and developing a successful virtual platform of training. 

Understandably due to the pressures of having to work and learn from home virtually, cadet numbers reduced but we also continued to recruit during this period and following a successful grant bid through UK Youth were able to offer free training places during the lockdown period. Through a further grant from Heart of England – Doing Things Differently Fund we were able to purchase IT equipment to support cadets at home with the loan of laptops and Office 365 licences, to take part in both SCC learning and with their school work. We are extremely proud that our efforts have contributed to support outside of our own area of work. 

Training was adapted to meet the needs of the cadets which included fun activities to keep them engaged and we are pleased to have been able to provide care packages, delivered to all our cadets, to enable them to take part in virtual lessons providing individual resources, again provided by UK Youth funding. 

The biggest visual difference has been the investment in the infrastructure of the facilities, carried out safely once permission was granted to return. With the support the government Covid 19 Rate Relief Grants received via Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, some successful funding bids and our group of very dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers the unit has been transformed into a warm, welcoming and well-designed and resourced training space that cadets and volunteers alike are proud to call their own and development continues into the new year. 

Following a rigorous process of assessment, we received permission to Return to Parading in December 2020. Some face to face activity took place outside before a further period of lockdown followed, we finally reopened in April 2021, over a year to the date since we closed and to outside activity only at the unit followed by waterborne activity in partnership with Tamworth & Lichfield SCC. 

Looking back at our list of plans for 2020/21 there is a huge sense of pride and satisfaction that all has been achieved in the most difficult of circumstances and continues.  As we move into a new year and my tenure ends, I am proud to hand over to Mrs Jemma Vickers as the new Chair of the Board of Trustees and wish her and the team the very best of luck for the future in a unit that is and will remain close to my heart.

## **Chairpersons Report – Mrs Jemma Vickers** 

I was appointed Chair on 25[th] March 2021, therefore the majority of this year was overseen by the Interim Chairperson, our District Chairperson, Mrs Margaret Blizzard. I wish it to be noted that our unit is eternally grateful for the work, dedication, enthusiasm, and support Margaret offered, not only through that time, but also for the continual offer of knowledge and reassurance that is readily available at any time and without that, the unit would not be running as it is today. Thank you Margaret. I would also like it to be noted that during this time, the Deputy District Officer was our Interim Commanding Officer, and I know that his support was, and is, truly valued by Nick. Thank you Dean. 

## **Commanding Officers Report – Petty Officer (SCC) Nick Humber** 

I have been proud and consider myself extremely privileged to have been appointed Officer in Charge of Nuneaton and Bedworth Sea Cadets since 6th March of this year. We have advanced immensely as a unit and as a team with many, many ideas still ahead to move TS Vanquisher forwards even further. I could not be prouder of the dedicated team of staff who surround me and who support our unit and our cadets. Furthermore, I am thankful to our Unit Chairperson and the full Unit Management Team for all their support and all the hard work that they undertake. Collectively, both staff and UMT, we have such a dedicated, hard-working team of volunteers with the passion and willpower that is bringing TS Vanquisher from strength to strength. Together, our aim is to support our cadets to develop and achieve, and to meet the objectives of the Unit. 

Most importantly, I am hugely proud of our Cadets who have shown such resilience throughout the most unprecedented of times and who have continued to maintain their commitment to Sea Cadets and to our Corps Values. The aim of our structured Cadet Training Programme is to provide our young people with basic life skills: teamwork; leadership; communication; motivation; self-confidence and citizenship; all which will help them transition into responsible adulthood. 

This report covers the period from April 2020 up until March 2021 which was a year of complete juxtapose for TS Vanquisher. Although a challenging year for most units, this was exasperated further for Nuneaton and Bedworth unit. The beginning of the year was particularly challenging for TS Vanquisher due to managing illness/ personal difficulties resulting in extended periods of leave for the Chairperson, the Commanding Officer, and other adult volunteers. However, with the overwhelming support from the District Chairperson and Deputy District Officer, staff returned, and new adults brought onboard to join the existing adult volunteers. 

This produced an immense energy and motivation that has completely turned around the cadet experience and outlook for TS Vanquisher. Adults from different backgrounds, with extensive knowledge in a multitude of areas, had their strengths recognized, and placed in suitable rolls to meet the needs of the unit. Regular training has taken place with some adults upskilling as required. Due to the support, dedication and determination, all objectives that were previously set have all been met. The team worked hard together to manage challenges faced. Steps were taken to achieve Return to Parade status and some face-to-face parading was delivered before the next lockdown. All staff had to think outside of the box to be able to continue to deliver a meaningful and engaging experience to cadets and learned a whole new way of delivering the Cadet experience. We were able to deliver virtually and adapted our sessions to maintain a balance between Cadet Training Plan modules and creating a fun, team led environment. We returned to face-to-face parading in April as soon as it was safe and legal to do so. 

Cadet engagement continued to grow, and staff worked hard to enable this to happen. The team did not let the national lockdown hold them back from advancement with everyone taking full advantage of the array of virtual learning experiences on offer. This was demonstrated by the 200 course bookings from March 2020 up until 2[nd] April 2021. 

The unit had experienced some losses in terms of the chairperson (Mrs Trevitt) stepping down from her role due to ill health and our Commanding Officer (LT Cousins) also taking an extended period of leave and choosing to step down. Although the year had shown some challenges, there were many strengths to be recognised. Our total number of adults on strength had grown from 9 to 24 which showed a growth of 166.66% Furthermore, our cadet figures had increased by 37.5% from 24 to 33. As a unit, we have ensured that the foot has not been taken off the accelerator for 

**Page 3** 



TS Vanquisher; our aim to ensure stability has certainly been met. Our drive is to continue to grow and develop even further as we aim to meet our objectives for 2021/2022. 

## **Covid-19** 

As a result of Covid 19 the unit was closed during the majority of this reporting year. However, within the first week of closure the cadets themselves had implemented a support group on social media and were communicating regularly. Staff were allocated to stay connected with cadets and enquire about their well-being. 

We were also aware that with closure, cadet contributions could cease and would impact on our viability. At the time of closure unrestricted reserves amounted to 5 months running costs and not knowing how long the closure would be for, steps were taken to reduce outgoings to all but necessary overheads including SORN of the minibus. 

Receipt of the first Covid 19 Rates Relief Grant in April gave the unit some confidence in its’ future and a fundraising campaign resulted in further receipts from Trusts and Foundations not only helped sustain us through this very difficult period but provide the means to make much needed improvements. 

A virtual presence was developed, weekly sessions convened, and all cadets and staff were invited to take part and to keep in touch. This was received enthusiastically and numbers taking part increased on a weekly basis. 

Trustees continued to govern the charity through lockdown and maintained regular contact via virtual meetings using the time to ensure a financial control policy was in place ready for reopening. 

## **Achievements and Performance 2020-21** 

As soon as lockdown rulings allowed, the unit renovations and refurbishments continued, resulting in the completion of our “Quarter Deck”. An outside covered training area. The completion of which allowed us to be amongst the first units to return to face to face parading following the lockdown restrictions lifting.

## **Plans for 2021-22** 

- ➢ Recruit further instructional volunteers to enable us further enhance the delivery of the Sea Cadet Experience. 

- ➢ Recruit additional UMT and UA adult volunteers to continue the effective management of the unit. 

- ➢ Develop our relationship with neighbouring Hinckley Sea Cadets for shared use of water resources. 

- ➢ Ensure all our volunteers get something back in return for their dedication to the Corps. 

The charity continues to work to secure funding to realise a number of projects: 

- ➢ Invest in the development of our adult volunteers both internal and where necessary through external training. 

- ➢ Continue to maximise access to funds to develop a unit held bursary fund via our networks to enable more young people to take advantage of external opportunities regardless of their economic ability. 

- ➢ To continue our refurbishment and development of our unit building 

- ➢ To improve, replace and add to our fleet of boats and equipment to enable us to offer more activities to cadets 

- ➢ Replace stock in the galley to enable us to open up cook steward classes to our cadets. We also aim to provide residential courses for our cadets. 

- ➢ There are a number of building improvement projects we plan to achieve. Initially we want to build a new ablutions block for which MSSC have approved a grant of circa £15,000, equating to roughly 60% of the costs. 

- ➢ Finally, to further enhance the nautical experience of our cadets, new boating equipment is required. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Due Process** 

In accordance with Part 2, 26 of the Sea Cadet Constitution 2017, the charities income and expenditure accounts were approved by the Trustees (Unit Management Team) at their meeting on ???? and are presented to the charity members for consideration and adoption. 

## **Basis of Accounts** 

Nuneaton & Bedworth Sea Cadets is a registered charity and prepares its accounts on a Receipts and Payments basis, this is the simplest of accounting methods and is adopted by small charities with an annual income of £250,000 or less. All income and expenditure is recorded at the time the funds are received or paid. 

## **Performance for the Financial Year** 

We are pleased to report there has been a significant improvement on the previous year’s accounts.  The receipts of the Government Covid 19 Grants and a sustained fundraising campaign have resulted in the level of income requiring an Independent Inspection of accounts for the 2020/21 year, the first in many years of the units’ history. Full details are included in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Areas for Improvement** 

The Trustees will prioritise for 2021/2022 

- ➢ Improve and monitor collection of cadet contributions 

- ➢ Develop a fundraising strategy of grant applications via trusts and foundations to continue the improvements to the unit and grounds 

Our fundraising efforts this year have centred around the continuation of our refurbishments and replacing or purchasing equipment in order to deliver more training opportunities to our young people. There have been some challenges, but we have overcome them and are looking forward to a positive future. 

**Page 6** 



## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees continue to review the charity’s requirements for reserves, in light of the main risk to the organisation, that being a reduction of income. The trustees have established a policy whereby the reserves in total that are not invested in tangible fixed assets held by the Unit, should be up to the equivalent of 6 months overhead costs of the charity. 

The level of these reserves has been determined by the need to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and for the charity to carry out of its legal obligations. At the end of March 2021, the total of the charity’s unrestricted reserves stood at £14,912, and a further £2,521 in restricted funds. These are clearly an improvement on last year, however, although unrestricted upon donation, a large proportion was ringfenced towards renovation and refurbishment projects, alongside the 6 months overhead reserves. 

Whilst the balance at the year-end is a great deal higher than our required level, the trustees are aware that expenditure during 2021/22 is likely to be significantly higher than in an average year due to the level of planned capital investment. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Units of the SCC are formed and operated entirely by volunteers in local communities. Each Unit is a self-supporting youth organisation and an independent charity with a central support management and training structure provided primarily by the Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC). The unit becomes a part of the SCC by virtue of its affiliation to the MSSC, the parent body of the SCC. In accepting this affiliation, the unit undertakes to comply with all regulations issued by, or on behalf of, the MSSC Council. 

The Unit was registered as an unincorporated charity on 12th November 1996 and is governed by a constitution approved by the Charity Commission of England and Wales. A revised constitution issued by the Marine Society and Sea Cadets was ratified by the Board of Trustees at its meeting in December 2017. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of the Trustees** 

Trustees serve and are re-elected on an annual basis. A minimum of 4 office holders: Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Commanding Officer. UMT office holders are elected at the first meeting following the Annual General Meeting (AGM). UMT members are elected from the membership of the Sea Cadets Unit which is drawn loosely as being those with an interest in the unit. 

The constitution lays down specific controls for UMT membership and will be observed for all future recruitment. 

In the event of a vacancy arising during the year (known as a casual vacancy), the trustees have the power to co-opt new trustees. All trustees will serve until the date of the next AGM, after which the post will be filled by election. 

The trustees are represented by a wide range of individuals drawn from the local community. Trustees have the power to appoint additional trustees to act jointly with them for all purposes. A trustee whose term of office has expired can be appointed for a further term of office. 

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state affairs of the charity and of its financial position at the end of that year. 

In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- ➢ Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- ➢ Make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

**Page 7** 



- ➢ State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice (SORP) have been followed, subject to any departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- ➢ Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will not continue existence. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity (Accounts Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

No final report would be complete without acknowledging the efforts and dedicated service of the adult volunteers who make the unit a success. For any Sea Cadet Unit to succeed it is fully reliant on its teams to work together. Our uniformed and civilian instructors, management team and unit assistants all have one common aim, that of delivering the best experience for our young people. 

In this modern age, time is a precious commodity and like with all teachers and trainers there is a lot goes on behind the scenes, outside of parade times and over weekends that is not observed but makes the difference. 

Thank you for your commitment and continued support. 

This report has been approved by the trustees and signed on its behalf on 08[th] November 2021 by Jemma Vickers, Chair of the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NUNEATON AND BEDWORTH UNIT 616 OF THE SEA CADETS CORP** 

I report on the financial statements of Nuneaton and Bedworth unit 616 of the Sea Cadets Corp. for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 which are set out on pages 11 to 14. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) and that an independent examination is required. 

## It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act 2011 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- To state whether any particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

- To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
