Summary of main activities of the charity in relation to its objects
Provision of courses in dinghy sailing, yacht cruising, windsurfing and powerboat handling following the syllabus set down by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and issuing appropriate certificates to successful candidates. Providing taster sessions and recreational activities for schools, youth groups and individuals in watersports.
Achievements and Performance of the Charity
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
1. Revenue.
Turnover down compared to 2023. Continued downward pressure on visitors’ disposable income has a direct and negative impact for the centre resulting in fewer courses for sailing and windsurfing.
Our hire business has reduced as more families are owning their own (cheap) paddleboards. We count the number of fanily groups on the beach at peak times and around 25% have their own board.
2. Sales / Marketing.
The website continues to account for most of the centre bookings. This facility allows customers to effectively plan their vist to New Quay.
Saturday sailing and windsurfing continues to provide a service to new sailors and windsurfers who have not the means or confidence to own their own equipment. With lots of 5 star reviews on both Trip Advisor and Google the centre continues to deliver satisfaction.
3. Personnel / Training.
Our staffing are the main ingredient for customer satisfaction so our 5 star reviews bears testimont to their performance.
4. Equipment.
Watersports equipment is expensive and requires ongoing investment to maintain standards. Grant application success is needed to keep the kit up to date.
- Collaborations. We continue to work with various organisations including the Marine wildlife centre, NQYC, AYC, Cardigan Bay Regatta, RYA Cymru, Llain Activity Centre, Qinetiq, Ceredigion Youth Service, OLW Aberaeron, Working 4 New Quay, Windswept Watersports.

Structure, Governance and Management
Nature of the Governing Document and constitution of the charity
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. Eligibility for membership of the charity, and membership of the board of trustees is governed by the memorandum and articles of association. There are no restrictions in the governing document on the operation of the charity or on its investment powers, other than those imposed by general charity law.
The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The trustees are appointed at the charity's annual general meeting and retire from office at the third AGM following the AGM at which they were elected. Any casual vacancy arising during the year is filled by co-option of a person onto the board; that person is then duly elected at the subsequent AGM.
Financial Review
Policies on reserves
The trustees have resolved to establish reserves to provide for future activities, and to provide funding for the expected expenditure for six months ahead. Reserves at 31 December increased, the trustees deem the reserve adequate to support the operation during the summer season.
The policy on reserves is that the existing assets are retained to produce income which is wholly utilised to support existing activities. There is no intention in the long term to either increase or reduce the capital significantly. The level at 31 December of £101,901 reflects the value of current assets at this time.
Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Statement of Directors' and Trustees' Responsibilities
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
-
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed , subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
Method of preparation of accounts
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 27 September 2025.

Cardigan Bay Watersports Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity
Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees
on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024
I report on the financial statements of the Charity on pages 9 to 19 for the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005 as modified in June 2008. (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As described on page 6, the Charity's trustees, who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements.
The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Act does not apply and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to section 476 of the Companies Act 2006, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and;
c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales setting out the duties of an independent examiner issued by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act) in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

1) In accordance with Regulation 31 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, (The Regulations) the accounts of this incorporated charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006; 2) this is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commission under subsection (5)(b) of that section which are applicable;

(ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and;

Cardigan Bay Watersports Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005 (revised June 2008) (The SORP). The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Companies Acts, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing.
Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the company's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared,on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention
Incoming Resources
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.
Investment Income
Bank Interest received is included on an actual receipts basis.
Deferred income
In accordance with the SORP grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met, are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts.
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the SORP.
Resources Expended
The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is set out below.
In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs is:
14
Cardigan Bay Watersports Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
Costs of generating funds
There are no costs that are attributable to the generating of funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity.
Governance costs
Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
Allocation of costs within types of resources expended
The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are based on the test of whether a cost directly contributes to the particular related source of income.Such identifiable costs are apportioned to the specific activity, whereas all other costs are allocated to support costs of charitable activities.
Resources expended include attributable VAT if such VAT cannot be recovered
Fixed assets and depreciation
All tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their estimated residual value ) over their estimated useful economic lives.
Leasehold land and buildings 4.76% straight line, over remaining term of lease Equipment 6.67% to 33% straight line Boats 6.67% to 20% straight line
Capital grants
The board of trustees consider that , in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (revised June 2008), gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature given for specific purposes and fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity should be credited to the relevant fixed asset fund after the sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose. The related asset is shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.
If the related assets are subject to restrictions by the grant making organisation on their use and disposal, then these restrictions are noted in the fixed asset section of these accounts. In such circumstances, the fixed asset fund created is treated as a restricted fixed asset fund. As the related assets are depreciated, then a transfer is made from restricted fixed asset funds to unrestricted revenue reserves to reflect the dimunition in the asset subject to the restriction.In this year (and in the previous year), there were no transfers from restricted fixed asset funds to unrestricted revenue reserves.
If the related assets are not subject to restrictions by the grant making organisation on their use and disposal, then the fixed asset fund created is treated as a designated fixed asset fund. As the related assets are depreciated, then a transfer is made from designated fixed asset funds to unrestricted revenue reserves to reflect the dimunition in the asset.
15
Cardigan Bay Watersports Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
Any residual liability to the donor arising from, for example, the asset’s future sale, is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the event that would trigger repayment of the grant becomes probable in which case a liability for repayment is recognised
Insofar as this policy relates to Government grants and to the extent that it may be a departure from the Statement of Standard Accounting Practice Number 4, such departure is justified on the basis that it is in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (revised June 2008) issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is recoverable by the company , and is therefore not included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Funds structure policy
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to monitor carefully the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
2 Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
