Report of the Trustees (continued)

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees are provided with copies of the most recent accounts of the charity and a copy of its governing documents, as well as any other documents produced by the Charity, together with an explanation from the Chairman and other Trustees of the manner in which the Charity is organised and managed and includes:

The obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees The operational framework of the Charity

The current financial position Future plans and objectives

All Trustees are encouraged to maintain an up to date understanding of their responsibilities by taking advantage of any relevant external training events and publications issued by the Charity Commission.

Organisational Structure

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of the activities of the Charity and meet approximately every three months, and as required, if additional meetings are necessary. The day to day management of the boating activities is undertaken by a group of the Trustees who, together with selected volunteers, process applications from groups wishing to use the cruise boats, organise outings and events for the general public and ensure the maintenance and upkeep of our passenger vessels. They also ensure that all those entrusted with the running and skippering of the boats are fully trained through our accredited RYA Training Centre and are aware of their responsibilities to the general public.

Risk Management

The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity and have reviewed the major risks and measures for their mitigation, as part of an ongoing process. They are satisfied that the processes adopted are adequate to identify and minimise any impact which such risks might have on the Charity or its activities in the future.

Objectives and Activities

The Charitable Company was incorporated on 18 March 2003 to take over the undertaking, assets and liabilities of the charity founded in 1995 and known as The Safe Anchor Trust, registered Charity number 1056959. The transfer took place on 1 January 2004 without any consideration being paid.

The principal objects and activities of the Charity are:

The provision of free, enjoyable and safe boat trips for the general public and especially those in our community who are disadvantaged through physical or mental disabilities, social isolation and age or social deprivation.

The maintenance and improvement of the river, canal and canal side environment in conjunction with the Canal and River Trust.

The activities are centred on three cruise boats; Lady Victoria, E Austen Johnson and Safe Anchor Lady, with one work boat Lady Brenda and, until this year, Lady Rhodes. All the boats are owned and operated by the Charity. All of the activities, including day to day maintenance of the boats, are carried out by volunteers and Trustees. During the year regular continuing maintence was completed on the boats. Towards the end of the season E Austen Johnson was found to need major work on the bottom plating and was withdrawn from service. A provision of £15k has been made in these accounts for this work. During the year work was carried out on Lady Rhodes to prepare her for sale as she was no longer suited to our requirements. The sale to a private buyer was completed in October 2023. We continue to be grateful to a number of volunteers who give significant amounts of their time in maintaining the boats in good mechanical condition.

When planning our activities for the year the Charity has considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Achievements, Performance and Public Benefit

During 2023 we operated 2 passenger boats each day. Several successful Friends and Family Weekends using 3 boats were also held. The popular 'Pirates Weekend' took place for the first time since pre-Covid. In support of The Castleford Heritage Trust, three boats travelled to and operated from Castleford during 10 days in June. Santa Special weekend was well attended and our environmental work continued throughout the year. During 2023 we ran 675 trips carrying 7161 passengers in total, who donated over £25000. These trips represented almost 2000 volunteer days. For comparison during 2022 we ran 640 trips carrying 6484 passengers in total, who donated over £22,000.

Organisations making use of our facilities range across the spectrum of age groups and sectors including:

Mental health Faith Groups All forms of disabilities Health recovery groups Youth and education Retirement/elderly Communities

We continued our work with the Canal and River Trust, assisting in the maintenance of the waterways in our local area. Our duties covered general maintenance including clearing footpaths and towpaths and cutting back undergrowth on the non towpath side. Over 1940 volunteer hours were worked over 109 days. We are looking to increase our involvement and commitment to environmental work during 2024. During the month of February 2024 we supported the Canal and River Trust 'Weedathon' national campaign with our workboat and manpower.

Towards the end of the season E Austen Johnson was temporarily withdrawn from service for some major repairs. Apart from this the season was completed without any serious incidents and the other boats remain in a good state of repair due to careful handling and ongoing maintenance. Our wonderful team of volunteers again worked tirelessly on the activities of the Charity.

Financial Review

Incoming resources amounted to £64,813 compared to £34,652 for 2022. The Charity's reserves remain in a healthy state and the Trustees are confident for the future.

The unrealised surplus on the Trust's Investment Portfolio managed by Castlefield Investments amounts to £1,724 this year (2022 deficit of £10,143). These figures are shown separately on the accounts and the total unrealised surplus carried forward is £18,058.

Resources expended increased this year from £44,529 in 2022 to £67,545 for 2023. This was caused by increasing boating activity after the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing repair costs. Details are shown elsewhere in this report and in the notes to the accounts.

Page 5

The Safe Anchor Trust Ltd.

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Net outgoing resources amounted to £2,732 (2022 £9,877) leaving a balance to carry forward, after adjusting for unrealised income on our investment portfolio, of £278,517 (2022 £279,525).

The year ended with cash balances at the bank amounting to £124,683 (2022 £106,046).

We continue to be grateful to a number of individuals and organisations who regularly support us with very generous donations year after year.

Investment Powers and Policy

Under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to invest funds in such a manner as the Trustees may see fit. Having regard to liquidity requirements, the reserves policy and the substantial investment in refurbishing the boats, the Trustees have operated a policy of keeping available funds in interest bearing deposit accounts, or using reputable Investment Managers to advise and place monies in balanced objective, medium risk investments.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees, having reviewed the affairs and activities of the Charity, have determined that an amount approximately equivalent to one and a half times the Charity’s normal annual expenditure, excluding depreciation, be held in reserve in cash, in order to maintain a stable financial position. Based on expenditure of recent calendar years, (excluding 2020 and 2021 due to their exceptional nature) the amount so determined is £100,000.

Free Reserves at 31 December 2023, as represented by total Charity funds, less fixed assets and amounts representing restricted and designated funds, were £179,314 (2022 £176,901).

The Trustees do not have any concerns about the future situation.

Whilst existing cash balances are currently considered to be fully adequate, the Trustees continue to explore ways and means of raising funds, in addition to those raised by their existing activities, in order to achieve a level of resource necessary to fund the activities of the Charity and to maintain adequate reserves.

Plans for the Future

As with many other Charities, the national economic conditions affected the ability of businesses and individuals to donate. The income generated by the disposal of Lady Rhodes allowed an almost break even position this year. The Charity is financially sound and currently has sufficient resources to weather these difficult times.

Our wish is to continue and develop our present activities whilst making good use of our base at Shepley Bridge Marina. We will continue to build on the existing relationship with The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and Kirklees MBC Young Peoples Scheme. We have maintained a good working relationship with the head tenant of Shepley Bridge Marina (Robinsons Cruisers Ltd) and fully intend for this to continue.

Plans to acquire a new boat which were suspended during the Covid pandemic, have been resurrected. We believe that we may have found a source to fund this project and whilst we are still in preliminary discussions, we are optimistic that this will be confirmed early in 2024. Two new Trustees, with specific engineering expertise, have been appointed in preparation for this project going ahead.

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Royal Yachting Association and Training

The Charity retains its status as an RYA Training Centre, which allows us to train and accredit our volunteers for the RYA Inland Waterways Helmsman and Crew Certificates.

During the year the Charity has trained 3 people on the RYA instructor course and 30 people did the RYA Emergency First Aid at Work course. Unfortunately there was no helmsman training due to the river levels in November and December but 10 volunteers completed the course in the previous year.

Trustees Responsibilities Relating to the Financial Statements

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year. In doing so the Trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently Make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue its activities

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 Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner

No members have requested an audit and as the incoming resources for the year are below £250,000 there is no requirement for an audit to be carried out. An independent examiner, Ms B Whiteley has carried out an independent review of these financial statements.

This report was approved by the Trustees on 22 April 2024

All income is included in the financial statements on an accruals basis. Assets and other gifts in kind received for use by the Charity are recognised as Incoming Resources at their estimated value when receivable.

(c) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on the accruals basis:

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting income from fund raising activities.

Expenditure on Charitable activities comprises those costs incurred in the delivery of activities through the provision of services associated with the cruise and work boats.

The Safe Anchor Lady, which came into service in 2010 has been depreciated over periods of 10 years. The cost of refitting E Austen Johnson during 2019 and 2021, The Lady Victoria in 2013 and The Safe Anchor Lady in 2020 are being depreciated over a 10 year period on the straight line basis.
