Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 24 July 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity's object and its principal activity is the preservation and saving of life at sea or on the foreshore by the acquisition, fitting out, maintenance and operation of a patrol boat, operating from Maryport in the county of Cumbria and such other means as may from time to time be determined subject to the prior written consent of the charity commissioners for England and Wales. We are an independent lifeboat, flood, swift water search and rescue service. We work with all other emergency services and are called out to assist them. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissioners guidance on public benefit.

The charity is organised so that the trustees are able to meet only as required.

Significant activities

The trustees have continued to operate the inshore patrol boat from Maryport, Cumbria, obtaining funding from donations and grant providers to enable to provide this service for the benefit of the local community in accordance with the objects of the charity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

As well as the regular callouts to emergencies, we have updated and renewed our continuing specialist training.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Statement of Financial Activities shows the net surplus for the year, before expenditure on equipment, of £219,660, and unrestricted reserves stand at £506,539, of which £190,000 has been earmarked by the trustees for expenditure on fixed assets. The large surplus for the year owes a lot to the £335,000 legacy received.

Reserves policy

The nature of our role means that we require a significant value of lifesaving equipment and assets. Our reserves need to be sufficient to cover this and to allow an amount to cover ongoing running costs should funding suddenly cease.

We have met this target this year having designated a significant part of the generous legacy to the new building project, which is due to start in 2022-2023.

Investment policy and objectives

Under the memorandum and articles of association the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that due to the need to have funds accessible to meet current commitments, surplus funds are placed in an instant access deposit account.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity is expected to continue to operate the inshore patrol boat. Plans are underway to develop and in-house training facility that can be used to train Maryport Lifeboat personnel and also individuals and groups from external bodies.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Maryport Inshore Rescue Boat

Year ended 24 July 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Maryport Inshore Rescue Boat ('the charity') for the year ended 24 July 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 24 July 2022

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is C/O Maryport Inshore Rescue, Marine Road, Maryport, CA15 8AY, Cumbria.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 24 July 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property	-	2% straight line
Fixtures, fittings & equipment	-	15% reducing balance
Boat, trailer & vehicles	-	15% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

4. Limited by guarantee

The Company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital.

At the year end the charity was entitled to further legacy income from the same estate as the income received in this accounting period. Because the amount is dependent on the sale of assets in the estate, the amount could not be reliably measured and so is not recognised in income this year.

22. Related parties

The charity spent £681 (2021: nil) on printing services from Mike Taylor Printing, a business owned by trustee Mr M Taylor.
