PETERBOROUGH SAILABILITY LIMITED STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIR

Enabling more beneficiaries to enjoy the benefits of sailing
We are delighted to share highlights from another successful year at Peterborough Sailability. Despite our first ever fee increase this year, we have been able to support even more beneficiaries than in 2024. Sailability’s volunteers gave 3,417 sailing sessions (an increase of 4% over last year), of which 605 sailings were for children from special schools. We recruited an additional 7 volunteers during 2025 and, under our new training Principal, our assistant instructors are progressing with in-house training of new buddies to RYA levels 1 and 2 qualification. Our goal for 2026 is to train at least one buddy to achieve the Dingy Instructor qualification and ultimately reach the level of Senior Instructor.
Strengthening Our Governance
This year, the Board of Trustees undertook a thorough review of our governance, guided by the Charity Code of Governance’s seven principles of good governance. We carried out an audit of the skills of our trustees to identify any gaps in key skills and experience and to assist us with succession planning. We will use the results to help us recruit new trustees in 2026.
Defining Our Values
We completed a year-long project to articulate our core values. All volunteers contributed to this work at our 2025 annual meeting, and then a working group took the feedback from the meeting and produced a statement of our values and behaviours. The statement has been approved by the Board and ratified by our volunteers at their 2026 annual meeting. This ensures our culture remains strong and inclusive.
Planning for the Future
We are looking to the future to ensure that we remain focussed on what our beneficiaries want from us. We have re-launched a “blue sky thinking” group, mainly comprising newer volunteers, to explore future directions and strategy for Peterborough Sailability. We are also updating our customer satisfaction questionnaire and planning a more in-depth annual survey to better understand and measure our impact on the iives of our beneficiaries.
Thank You
Peterborough Sailability is a charity run entirely by volunteers, with every penny reinvested into our sailing activities. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Trustees, our donors, the Operations Committee, our buddies, and all our volunteers for their commitment and passion.
Here’s to another year of making sailing accessible and enjoyable for all!

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.
Structure, Governance and Management
Peterborough Sailability Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 9 May 2006. The company is registered as a charity with the Charities Commission, charity number 1120978.
The charity is managed by its trustees. The trustees also act as directors for the purposes company law. A list of the Members of the Board of Trustees at the date of this report and those who served during the year to 31 December 2025 is on page 18.
The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the existing trustees. When new trustees are appointed they are given an overview of the Charity and an outline of both its operational and financial activities. New trustees are selected in order to gain benefit from their skills and experience, to complement the existing trustees, and to provide succession.
Objectives and Activities
The objects for which the charity is established are:
For the benefit of people with disabilities, to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation and in particular to provide facilities to participate in the recreation and sport of sailing in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving their conditions of life.
These objects are achieved by providing local people with disabilities the opportunity to go sailing and to enjoy the sense of freedom and independence that this gives them, together with social benefits — all in the fresh air.

Operations Review 2025
2025 saw our volunteers deliver another fun-filled year for our clients.
Clients
The number of sailings we provided increased by 130 compared to 2024, to just over 3,400. This included a slight change in the mix of clients with school sailings up by 80 and individuals down by 50, with schools now accounting for nearly 20% of our activities. To ensure that we can continue to service the whole community we have decided to maintain the current client mix.
We had intended to seek more clients during the mid-season drop in demand that we normally see when the schools break for summer holidays. However, volunteer availability in June July and high client demand placed significant pressure on all. As a result we chose to use the August lull to focus on volunteer training and ensure we didn’t lose the fun from our efforts.
Volunteers
We recognise that we ask a lot of our volunteers in what can often be challenging conditions. We choose to sail whenever it is safe to do so but this can mean sailing in cold and wet conditions. Our clients seem to relish the varying weather conditions but it can test the humour of those working in it for hours at a time. This year has been trying with poor weather stopping sailing on seven occasions. We lost the equivalent of 6 days. The lake we use was also plagued with floating weed this season. Despite this clogging the boats, it became a test of our skills to navigate the new hazards. We look for positives in all obstacles.
Training
A busy year for the training team who delivered a range of training using both internal and external instructors. February First Aid Course with an RNLI Instructor March Pre-Season Refresher Training for all in Sail, Powerboats and Quad bike April to Oct Individual training for new sailors, power boat drivers and quad bike riders. November Safeguarding Training with a RYA approved consultant. Although we see training as essential the cost is significant and so where possible we run courses in-house. This year we estimate this has saved us over £1600.
Boats
A Sailability boat does not have an easy life. Frequent launches and recoveries and the varying skill levels of our clients result in a few bumps and scrapes. Thankfully our Bosun team did an excellent job this year in minimising the time our boats were out of service.
Our strategy of boat refurbishment, rather than replacement, continues. This allowed us to successfully seek support from some long-standing benefactors to buy an additional safety boat. This new boat has a drop-down front. We specifically chose this as it allows a gentler recovery of people in the water than traditionally pulling them over the side. Many of our clients are fragile and need handling with extra care.

PETERBOROUGH SAILABILITY LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 (CONTINUED) ee
Administration
One of the significant difficulties we encounter is clients not turning up for bookings. Typically, these noshows run at 20-22%. The admin team have been actively managing this situation and have reduced it to 16% for 2025. We accept that our clients may need to cancel at short notice but minimising it can increase the opportunity for others to sail.
Finally, and as always, many thanks to all our volunteers. Without their help none of this would be possible.
Financial review
The charity incurred an operating surplus on unrestricted funds of £6,133, following a deficit of £3,808 in the previous year:
| the previous year:year: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| £ | £ | |
| Netincome / (expenditure) before transfers: | 4,972 | (4,758) |
| Transfers from restricted funds: | 1,161 | 950 |
| Totaloperatingsurplus/(deficit): | 6,133 | (3,808) |
Following several years of operating deficits, the Board of Trustees took the decision to increase the sailing fee from £5 to £8 this year, to build up our reserves and ensure that we remain financially sustainable into the future. This was the first fee increase since the charity was founded. We have been encouraged to see that, despite the fee increase, the demand for our services has risen in the year and our income from sailing fees grew by over 65% to £26,194. Unsolicited donations exceeded budget by £3,500 and our tight control over expenditure resulted in an underspend of £900. Together, this has resulted in a surplus over £4,200 higher than the budgeted surplus of £1,800. The Trustees have decided to invest the additional surplus in a capital fund, with the intention of building up the fund to contribute towards the future cost of boats and other capital expenditure, which cannot be funded out of day to day operating income.
Reserves policy
The Trustees’ policy on reserves is subject to an annual review by the full Board of Trustees. The Trustees have carefully considered the requirement to maintain an appropriate level of free reserves, being those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed.
During the year, the Trustees have designated certain funds to safeguard the assets which are used to generate the income which is essential to fund day to day operating expenditure. A total of £3,451 has been designated (2024: £3,632}, which represents the net book value of unrestricted tangible fixed assets, which could only be realised by disposing of the assets the charity requires to operate our sailing activities. in addition, £4,000 (2024: £nil) has been designated as a capital fund to contribute towards the future cost of boats and other capital expenditure.

PETERBOROUGH SAILABILITY LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 (CONTINUED)
a
-
The trustees recognise that free reserves are required for two main reasons:
-
¢ To cover the charity’s working capital needs (cash flow). ¢ To mitigate against financial risk (i.e. to act as a buffer in an emergency).
The trustees have assessed the main potential risks facing the charity and provided against those risks based on an assessment of the likelihood and impact of the specific events occurring. In particular:
-
e The potential financial impact of a shutdown of operations caused by partial or total loss of use of Gunwade lake, major global pandemic, flooding or similar disruption.
-
e Therisk that operating income targets are not achieved, particularly income from sailing fees. * Significant unanticipated repairs to boats or equipment over and above the normal operating budget, that cannot be separately funded.
-
A10% contingency for other risks, including the potentially negative impact of an event having a major negative reputational effect on the charity and consequent ability to bid for funds
Based on the above assessment, the trustees have estimated that the level of free reserves required to mitigate against the identifiable risks is approximately £26,000. The level of free reserves at the balance sheet date is £26,181, as represented by the balance on General Funds. The trustees therefore consider that the level of free reserves is sufficient to cover the risks to which the charity is exposed.
Risk management
Peterborough Sailability recognises that the charity faces a range of risks which could have an impact on our ability to achieve our charitable objectives. We recognise that whilst “risk” is normally regarded as negative, risk management is as much about exploiting potential opportunities as preventing potential problems. Risk management is therefore an essential part of good management and should be embedded in “the way we do things”.
The charity's risk management plan is set out in a formal Risk Register. Risks are categorised according to their nature (e.g. physical, operational, lega!, reputational, governance, strategic, technological etc). The Risk Register identifies the types of risk Sailability faces, prioritises them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and identifies the means of mitigating the risks, including a review of current systems and procedures, and action points to take forward. The Risk Register is reviewed by the Risk Management Group twice a year, or more frequently if new risks are identified. The Board of Trustees itself reviews the register on an annual basis.
The principal risks have been identified as follows:
-
® £nvironmental factors caused by the impact of climate change which could affect our ability to operate, such as strong winds, flooding, excessive heat, green algae and pollution of the lake or river
-
¢ Boat collision or capsize whilst on the water e Injury to volunteers, clients or members of the public
-
e Insufficient volunteers to run Sailability sessions safely or fully ® Physical risk to boats, equipment and slipway/ pontoon as a result of accidental damage, flooding, theft or vandalism
-
e Safeguarding incident at Sailability
-
e Failure to achieve key income, cash flow and operating targets
5
PETERBOROUGH SAILABILITY LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 (CONTINUED)
ee
In addition to the Risk Register, Sailability’s risk management involves a multi-faceted approach:
-
Risks to our equipment, our volunteers, clients and the public are covered by a range of insurance policies. The levels and nature of the risks to be insured against are reviewed by Sailability each year with the assistance of our insurance brokers.
-
e Our health and safety policy sets out the critical procedures and practices required to enable us to operate safely. Our Health and Safety Lead reports to the Board each year on the incidents /accidents that occurred during the sailing season, identifying any trends and proposing remedial actions where necessary to minimise recurrences.
-
e We have robust safeguarding procedures in place and our Safeguarding Lead reports at every Board meeting.
-
e We undertake inspection regimes of our boats and equipment, including annual life jacket inspections by an external specialist and specialist inspections of the hoists used by clients. Through this process, defects are identified- as far as reasonably practicable- and rectified as appropriate.
-
e We have established a detailed asset replacement plan which forms the basis for planning and prioritising the replacement and renewal of the charity’s assets and infrastructure.
-
- Anumber of Standard Operating Procedures are in place to provide planned clear instructions to volunteers on the sailing operation.
Governance
Sailability’s work is overseen by a Board of Trustees, who are also Directors of the Company. The role of the Board is to develop and agree the charity’s vision, values and strategy. Regular reports are made to the Board on the charity's financial progress in relation to agreed budgets and on any operational matters on which it needs to be briefed.
The Board meets quarterly, with an Operations Committee meeting six times per year and delegated to ensure the effective operational management of the charity and to report back to each Board meeting. An Annual General Meeting is held in March each year.
The Articles of Association set out the terms of office for all trustees, and the proceedings at general meetings. During the course of the year, the Board of Trustees undertook a thorough review of our governance, guided by the Charity Code of Governance’s seven principles of good governance. Key improvements include new role descriptions for key office holders, a Trustees’ role description and code of conduct, term limits for Trustees and new policies on conflicts of interest and on equality, diversity, and inclusion.
We carried out an audit of the skills of our trustees to identify any gaps in key skills and experience and to assist us with succession planning. We will use the results to help us recruit two new trustees in 2026.
