DIRECTORS REPORT 31 MARCH 2024
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The directors present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2024 for the purposes of section 162 of the Charities Act 2011 and for the
purposes of section 419(2) of the Companies Act 2006.
The directors confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 (5) of the 2011
Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charities Commission.
Status
The company is registered as a charity under section 4 Charities Act 1960 with the registered
charity number of 1127573 and a company registration number of 06788607 and is limited by
guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 12 January 2009.
Objectives
To help people of all ages to develop and become mature and responsible individuals through
experience of sail training activities in traditional sailing craft, including maintaining
and conserving the craft. Such people include the socially disadvantaged and those suffering
mental health and addiction problems.
Activities
We help people of all ages, including those with mental health issues and those recovering
from substance mis-use, to benefit from experience on traditional sailing craft. This has
been achieved using the sailing vessel “Tectona”, owned by Tectona Trust Ltd and operated
by our associate company Sailing Tectona CIC. In parallel we assist medical professionals
to understand the benefit such activity can provide, and we research this field.
How our activities deliver public benefit
The sailing and boat maintenance activities that we sponsor, allow individuals who have
been struggling in life the opportunity to try something new and gain confidence from the
fact that they can achieve things they never thought they could.
By sailing on a boat with new people, individuals develop communication, teamwork and
resilience as well as the ability to have fun and experience a completely new environment.
All of these will hopefully lead to individuals feeling inspired and able to make positive
changes in their lives back ashore.
By attending the boat maintenance project each week, individuals develop a sense of purpose,
routine and dedication to a project. Whilst learning new practical boat maintenance skills,
individuals also make friends with the other volunteers, reducing loneliness and isolation.
The public benefit is that all these skills allow individuals to grow in themselves and
improve their own prospects for success in their recovery journey.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance given by the Charity
Commissioners on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and when
planning future activities.

Financial Review including any Debts and Details of Reserves Policy (continued)
During the period, the total income of the charity was £110,341.
This was made up of grant funding, including from the following organisations, totalling
£94,263.
- Lady Virginia Grant Lawson Charitable Trust
- The Whirlwind Trust
- Gibbons Family
- Clothworkers Foundation
- National Lottery Community Fund
The remaining income, £16,078, was made up of various donations from our very kind
supporters. These donations were mainly given through the ‘Just Giving’ fundraising
platform, however some were given directly to the charity in cash or cheque. This amount
included donations towards Tectona Trust fundraising events including sponsorship for the
Eddystone Pursuit.
We want to thank all our grantors and donors and are extremely grateful for their support.
During the period, the total expenditure of the charity was £109,224.
Of this amount, £2,638 was spent on our admin expenses, such as insurance, Just Giving
fees, bank fees and legal accountancy fees.
The remaining £106,586 was spent on achieving our charitable objectives. In this period
£6,586 was spent on directly supporting people in recovery from mental health issues and
substance misuse to participate in both residential and day sailing voyages.
Furthermore, the charity spent £100,000 on supporting Sailing Tectona CIC to maintain the
vessel we own – Tectona – and run weekly boat maintenance sessions with people from all
backgrounds, including those in recovery.
In the period we made a small profit of £1,117.
The reserves carried forward on 31 March 2024 were £179,548. This includes the £100,000
capital reserve from the bequest of the vessel ‘Tectona’, £41,990 in restricted funding
(grants held for specific charitable objectives), £20,000 in restricted reserve and £17,558
in unrestricted funds.
A substantial amount of time is contributed by Trustees/Directors and Officers in relation
to the administration of the charity. No payments are made to any Trustees/Directors or
Officers in this respect. The value of these ‘gifts in kind’ has not been quantified.
Activities and Objectives in the Year, Achievements and Performance (including reporting on its public benefit)
The year of April 2023 – March 2024, was a successful year for us at Tectona Trust. We
supported people in recovery through residential sailing voyages and boat maintenance
community days. Our primary aim was to increase people’s confidence, resilience, and well-
being which we have noticed an increase in a need for following the pandemic.
Throughout the year, we funded 29 people to sail on a voyage of recovery. This included
individuals in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues, Wounded,

DIRECTORS REPORT 31 MARCH 2024
Activities and Objectives in the Year, Achievements and Performance (including reporting on its public benefit) (continued)
injured and sick Navy personnel, young women aged 18-30 in recovery from addiction and
young people in with mental health issues.
These voyages proved positive for all those who took part. One participant said “I feel
more engaged emotionally and grateful for the experience” whilst another said “it was an
amazing week where for the first time in ages I was able to put my problems and worries on
the backburner”.
During the period, we also funded the volunteer led refit project on the vessel we own-
Tectona. This is an ongoing project to refurbish the interior accommodation onboard, as
well as update the rigging, helm position and deck layout.
This project continued in earnest during the period, with good progress being made on the
refit work. The work is coming into its finishing stages and is due to be finished next
year with Tectona returning to voyages in 2025. The Tectona refit project provides an
opportunity to meet our charitable objectives by getting people in recovery, alongside
volunteers from all backgrounds, involved in the maintenance of the vessel.
Each Thursday volunteers join in with working on Tectona - learning new skills, making new
friends, growing in confidence and feeling part of a community.
All in all, the year was a good one with many people’s lives enriched by their involvement
with Tectona. This goes on to have a ripple effect and wider public benefit as people’s
improved well-being and mental health positively impacts their circle of family, friends
and community.

Reserves policy
It is the policy of the company to build up the reserves to £20,000 and keep these funds
until such time as they are needed to complete a project or ensure the survival of the
charity.
Risk Review
The Trustees need to update their review of major risks to which the charity is exposed and
update systems to mitigate those risks. Should significant external risks to funding be
identified, a strategic plan will be developed which will allow for the diversification of
funding and activities.
Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all
transactions and projects and to ensure consistent delivery for all operational aspects of
the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the
needs of the charity.
Advantage is being taken in the preparation of the directors report, of the special
exemptions applicable to small companies conferred by the Companies Act 2006

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year
which give a true and fair view. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are
required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; -
make judgements that are reasonable and prudent; -
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations, and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; -
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records, which disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company and to enable them
to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and
financial information included on the charity’s website.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF TECTONA TRUST LTD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I report on the accounts of Tectona Trust Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are
set out on pages 8 to 12.
Respective Responsibilities of Directors and Independent Examiner
The charity’s directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s
directors consider that an audit is not required for this year under part 16 of the Companies
Act 2006 and an independent examination has been requested.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011) -
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and -
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by
the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of
explanations from you as directors concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiners’ statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements -
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with s386 of the Companies Act 2006 -
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practise: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met; or -
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

of the company. Accordingly, the format of the profit and loss account has been
amended as permitted by the Companies Act 2006.

furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated
