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. 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. Volunteer recruitment, Health and Safety, crew training and boat maintenance are carried out throughout the year.
We continue to be grateful to a core of volunteers who give significant amounts of their time to the operation of the charity, volunteer recruitment, training, operational management and continuous boat maintenance.
When planning our activities for the year the Charity has considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
Achievements, Performance and Public Benefit
During the 2024 season we operated 2 boats each day carrying 7,564 passengers providing 721 trips for our passenger groups and communities, representing over 2,221 volunteer days. This year we achieved an income in excess of £47,000. Several weekends and bank holiday open days were held when 3 boats were used to provide free trips for the community, friends and families. The popular 'Pirates Weekend' took place again and in support of The Castleford Heritage Trust, three boats travelled to and operated from Castleford during 10 days in June
The Santa Special community weekend was well attended and our environmental work on our adopted section of the local canal continued throughout the year working in conjunction with several local groups and the Canal and River Trust.
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 1703 volunteer hours were worked over 103 days.
The team were able to open up the river footpath from Greenwood to Calder Road, planted over 1,000 daffodils and were awarded a grant of £5,000 for their work. The team again supported the Canal and River Trust 'Weedathon' national campaign with our workboat and manpower. We are looking to increase our involvement and commitment to environmental work during 2024.
The season was completed without any serious incidents and the 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 £56,527 compared to £64,813 for 2023. 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 £1,596 this year (2023 surplus of £1,724). These figures are shown separately on the accounts and the total unrealised surplus carried forward is £19,654.
Resources expended increased this year from £67,545 in 2023 to £71,330 for 2024. This was caused by the introduction of lifejackets during the year and the additional service cost.
Details of the expenditure 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 £14,803 (2023 £2,732) leaving a balance to carry forward, after adjusting for unrealised income on our investment portfolio, of £265,310 (2023 £278,517).
The year ended with cash balances at the bank amounting to £101,213 (2023 £124,683 ).
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 2024, as represented by total Charity funds, less fixed assets and amounts representing restricted and designated funds, were £172,758 (2023 £179,314).
The Trustees do not have any concerns about the future situation. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors, having considered the financial position of the Charity for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern
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 in the prior year. The Charity is financially sound and currently has sufficient resources to weather these unprecedented times.
Our wish is to continue and develop and improve our present activities and to reach out to additional passenger groups 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.
As with other charities, not all volunteers returned after Covid making it a challenge to crew all the trips to satisfy the demand. A recruitment plan has been prepared and implemented to increase the number of trained volunteer crew.

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 and an Emergency First Aid at Work course.
During the year the Charity has trained 3 people to become RYA instructors, we have continued to provide helmsman training and are developing a follow-on training course in conjunction with the local Fires and Rescue Service to cover emergency situations such as man overboard.
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 R Taylor has carried out an independent review of these financial statements.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 14 July 2025.
