Company Limited by Guarantee

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

Year ended 24 July 2025

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The charity was constituted on 16th February 2006 as a company limited by guarantee, and is governed by the memorandum and articles of association of the same date. The company registered as a charity on 19th April 2006.

In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

On the 27th May 2022 the charitable company changed its name from Mary Inshore Rescue Boat to Maryport Rescue, the change of name was received by Companies House on 23rd September 2022.

Methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Members of the trustee board are appointed through an open and transparent selection and interview process. Membership of the trustee board aims to reflect the diversity of the community within which it is located. No funders are currently represented on the board.

Members of the trustee board are inducted and trained in a timely fashion and understand their responsibilities, in relation to Financial Conduct Authority, Charity Commission and Companies House.

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 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.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

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

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

Year ended 24 July 2025

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities shows the net deficit for the year of £71,019 (2024: surplus of £59,173), with the total funds totalling £469,395 (2024: £540,414) at the reporting date. The total funds are made up of unrestricted funds standing at £466,454, of which £170,465 has been earmarked by the trustees for expenditure on fixed assets and vehicle maintenance. Restricted funds stand at £2,941 (2024: £5,009).

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 in unrestricted funds, and excluding the designated new building project fund.

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 inhouse training facility that can be used to train Maryport Lifeboat personnel and also individuals and groups from external bodies.

Small company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Year ended 24 July 2025

  1. 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.

  1. 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:

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:

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.

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.

Maryport Rescue

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 24 July 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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.
