## **Chairman’s Report 2022** 

Firstly, I want to begin with a thank you to all the coaches, helpers and active committee members, without whom the club could not survive. Their hard work and dedication during the year has enabled us to deliver and maintain our commitment to training in these post Covid times. 

## **Membership** 

2022 has seen our membership numbers decrease slightly, we currently have 195 live member accounts, 86 are Nippers, 58 Masters, 45 Juniors and 26 Seniors. The reduction in numbers is across the Junior, Senior, Masters section with the Nippers showing a healthy increase. Work needs to be done to increase the Senior numbers. This decrease in numbers has put a slight dent in our current financial situation but when combined with our Gift Aid rebate gives us a positive revenue position. 

## **Qualification’s 2022** 

The club has supplied training and facilitated NVBLQ examinations with further examinations scheduled towards the tail end of the year, 7 members already gaining the qualification. There has also been an increase in the numbers of Level 1 and Level 2 awards again with many more projected to be taken in September/October. 

As a club we are proud that we continue to train so many excellent young people in the skills required to apply to become RNLI Lifeguards. 

## **Patrols** 

Mumbles members are now patrolling Llangennith Beach in conjunction with Langland Bay Lifeguards as volunteers, providing a valuable service on a beach that has no RLNI presence. 

## **Fund Raising** 

We are currently running at a neutral revenue position, as such if the club wants to invest in new equipment additional funding will be required. As with any club; fundraising is always an issue. If anyone has any contacts, special skills or ideas please speak to a committee member. 

In 2022 we have attempted to achieve a balanced approach and hopefully as a committee delivered what the members want, if we didn’t please let us know.  As always we are here to act on your behalf and as such encourage all members (irrespective of age) to voice their opinions or stand for election to sit on the committee. 

Once again thank you for your support and commitment in 2022. 

Jon Gwynn Chairman

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Mumbles Lifeguard Club
Year Ended: 31 December 2022
Registered Charlty: 1074462
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on the
attached page.
Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees lind examiner
The charity's trustee5 are responsible for the preparation of the acco¢Jnts. The charivs trustees consider
that an audit Is not required for this year lunder section43121 of the Charities Act 1993 Ithe 1993 Actll
and that an independent examination 1% needed.
It Is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts (under spction 4313la of the 1993 Act);
follow the procedltres laid down in the General Dlrections given by the Charity Commission lunder
section 4317llbl of the 1993 Act).. and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examiner's repoi't
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Dlrectlons given by the Charity
Commi55ion. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
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 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 examlner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable c3U5e to believe that in any materlal respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record5 and comply with the
accounting requlrements of the 1993 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.
