**RIVERTIME BOAT TRUST LIMITED** (A company limited by guarantee) 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Policies & Objectives** 

Rivertime Boat Trust (“The Trust”) was established by Pat and Simon Davis in 2006. Their objective was to build and operate a boat for disabled and disadvantaged children and adults on the river Thames. At the time, no boat provided these facilities between Oxford and Windsor. The company and charity were formed for this purpose and Trustees were appointed to execute these plans. 

## **Activities for achieving objectives** 

In 2008 they launched ‘Rivertime’, a specially constructed 42 foot passenger boat fitted with a ramp and a hydraulic lift for wheelchair users and providing a safe, caring and stimulating environment for both children and adults with all types of disability, however mild or profound. 

Since the inception of the charity the ‘Rivertime’ cruiser has been used each year from Easter through to October to provide trips for disabled and disadvantaged children and adults. One full time skipper is employed and a cadre of volunteers provide support as additional skippers and crew members. Our volunteers are trained at the start of each annual season to ensure that appropriate levels of safety are maintained on every trip. 

’Rivertime’ has now taken out over 26,000 disabled and disadvantaged passengers, travelled 17,500 miles, passed through 4,500 locks and benefitted from 12,000 volunteer hours. 

The progress the Trust had made was recognised in 2012 when it was awarded The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. In 2018 the Trust was awarded the Canal and River Trust ‘Living Waterways Award for Learning & Skills’. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

As a result of Covid-19, for the first time in its 15 year history this vital charity was not able to operate at all during the 2020 season and it launched an ‘Appeal for Financial Support’. Letters were written to traditional supporters and to businesses in the Thames Valley.  The Trust also made full use of the Government Furlough Scheme. As a result of this income and the generous donations received from supporters we have been able to retain our salaried skipper and maintain ‘Rivertime’ throughout the pandemic. 

## **The River and Rowing Museum (“RRM”)** 

The River & Rowing Museum and the Trust have worked collaboratively since 2013 to create ‘Museum on Thames’. This initiative supplements the service that the Museum provides for SEND children and young people and extends the Trust’s offer of a river cruise for the disadvantaged and disabled. Since the project was launched, ‘Museum on Thames’ has reached over 400 children aged 6 – 19 years and 249 teachers and helpers, with further SEND visits beyond the project. 

Groups have visited from Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Middlesex, Surrey, North London and Hampshire. This is a unique experience combining interactive museum workshops with a boat trip to enhance learning about the river and its wildlife, allowing pupils to enjoy the therapeutic effects that being on and around the water can bring. There is no other initiative like this in the UK. 

During the pandemic the Trust has worked with the River & Rowing Museum to develop a new partnership that will offer new and unique educational opportunities for disabled and disadvantaged young people in the local area and beyond. Moving forward, the two charities will work together with SEND schools to provide a variety of new targeted programmes. 



This is an exciting and unique relationship where each side brings distinctive resources, skills, experience and networks to the partnership. 

## **Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC)** 

The Rivertime Boat Trust was awarded the Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) Accreditation during the year. This will enable us to develop educational programmes during the 2021 season where children from SEND settings can learn about the River Thames and its wildlife. 

## **Investment policy and performance** 

The Trust has invested funds with CCLA in the Listed COIF Charities Investment Fund Accumulation Units and the Trustees regularly review investment policy. 

## **Funds and factors relevant to achieve objectives** 

The Trustees, recognising that in order to continue to provide the range of services currently offered, will continue to set aside funds to replace the ‘Rivertime’. Further funds are required and the Trust will continue to seek support from generous donors and grant making bodies to ensure the charity is able to develop its service offering in the coming years. 

## **Reserving policy** 

The Trustees consider that a minimum reserve in cash and liquid investments of £65,000 should be maintained in order to: 

(i) enable the charity to continue to function in the event of a reduction in income from either boat letting or grants and donations as a result, for example, of a major breakdown or other loss of use of ‘Rivertime’ for an extended period, including any unanticipated major repair costs; 

(ii) finance major replacements of mechanical and electrical equipment that may become necessary due to the age of the boat; 

(iii) to finance proposed work with the Government to replicate the Charity’s service nationwide; and 

(iv) to provide for repayment of the loan from Simon Davis (see note 20), should the need arise. 

The Trustees have also created an additional Designated Reserve of £102,207, equivalent to the accumulated depreciation of Rivertime, in order to replace it in due course at the end of its useful life. The Trustees aim to secure sufficient cash and investments to finance this reserve over time. 

As at 31 March 2021, the value of unrestricted cash and liquid investments to support these objectives was £82,276.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT Continued** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial performance** 

The Trust had a deficit of £3,526 of expenditure over income before investment returns during the year (2020: surplus of £20,950).  This may be analysed by activity as follows: 

|Year ended<br>Grants and donations<br>Income from charitable<br>activities<br>Direct costs<br>Net movement in<br>resources<br>Less: Governance<br>Surplus (Deficit)|**_31 March 2021_**<br>_Rivertime_<br>_Accessible_<br>_boating_<br>_TOTAL_<br>68,450<br>0<br>68,450<br>0<br>0<br>0<br>(44,561)<br>(22,208)<br>(66,769)<br>23,889<br>(22,208)<br>1,681<br>(5,207)<br>0<br>(5,207)<br>18,682<br>(22,208)<br>(3,526)|**_31 March 2020_**<br>_Rivertime_<br>_Accessible_<br>_boating_<br>_TOTAL_<br>50,689<br>18,000<br>68,689<br>31,958<br>5,615<br>37,573<br>(55,473)<br>(21,837)<br>(77,310)<br>27,174<br>1,778<br>28,952<br>(8,002)<br>0<br>(8,002)<br>19,172<br>1,778<br>(20,950)|

In the year ended 31 March 2021, Rivertime did not operate as a result of restrictions imposed due to the COVID 19 epidemic and therefore earned no income from charitable activities. 

Grants and donations for Accessible boating in the year ended 31 March 2020 comprised a grant of £18,000 by the Edward Gostling Foundation to be used to buy a NEO 495 adapted sailing dinghy.  In the year ended 31 March 2021, with the agreement of the Foundation, this dinghy was transferred to a related CIO, Rivertime Accessible Boating, (operating as Accessible Boating Thames) and this amount has therefore been recorded as an Expenditure in the year ended 31 March 2021. 

In the year ended 31 March 2021, Grants and Donations for ‘Rivertime’ included £23,966 of Government grants from the ‘furlough’ scheme operated in response to issues created by COVID 19. Direct costs of operating ‘Rivertime’ reduced from £55,473 to £44,561 as a result of lower direct running and promotional costs of £7,201 and reduced pension and other support costs of £3,517. 

## **Going concern** 

In March 2021, following the spread of the coronavirus around the world, the Government adopted a ‘lockdown’ policy that has prevented ‘Rivertime’ from operating at all in the 2020/21 season. However, as a result of successful fundraising to cover a proportion of the resulting shortfall in income, the Trustees are confident that the Charity will be able to continue as a going concern and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on this basis.

This report is made solely to the company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Rivertime Boat Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

**RIVERTIME BOAT TRUST LIMITED** (A company limited by guarantee) 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Rivertime Boat Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

In March 2020, following the spread of the coronavirus around the world, the Government adopted a ‘lockdown’ policy that has prevented ‘Rivertime’ from operating at all in the 2020 season. However, as a result of successful fundraising to cover a proportion of the resulting shortfall in income, the Trustees are confident that the Charity will be able to continue as a going concern and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on this basis. 

## **1.2 Company status** 

The company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales, registered number 05659325. The address of the registered office is Richmond House, Newlands Drive, Maidenhead, Berkshire, SL6 4LL. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company. 

## **1.3 Income** 

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the value of general volunteer time of friends is not recognised. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount the company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 



## **RIVERTIME BOAT TRUST LIMITED** 

(A company limited by guarantee) 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.4 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £250 are capitalised. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account. 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

Boats - 5% straight line Equipment - 10% straight line 

## **1.6 Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account. 



**RIVERTIME BOAT TRUST LIMITED** (A company limited by guarantee) 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.7 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **1.8 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **1.9 Cash at Bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **1.10 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## **1.11 Financial instruments** 

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **1.12 Pensions** 

The company contributes to the skipper's defined contribution personal pension plan. The pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year. No amounts were due at the year end.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **1.13 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.14 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities that are not obtainable from other sources. Judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates, but are unlikely to be material.

## **18. PENSION COMMITMENTS** 

The company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £703 (2020 - £3,095). 

## **19. MEMBERS' LIABILITY** 

Each member of the charitable company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of it being wound up while he/she is a member, or within one year after he/she ceases to be a member, such amount as may be required, not exceeding _£_ 1 for the debts and liabilities contracted before he/she ceases to be a member. 

## **20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

At the year end, the charity owed Simon Nathaniel Davis, its President, £15,000 (2020 - £15,000) relating to a loan which was received from him during the charity's first period ended 31 March 2007. This balance is reflected within other creditors (Note 15). 

Hobbs of Henley Limited together with a number of other organisations and individuals also provide a number of services such as boat transfers, mooring and uses of other facilities free of charge. The value of these services cannot be readily quantified.
