## **The Medusa Trust**
## Chairman’s Report
## **Structure, governance and management.**
The Chairman submits his Report and the Unaudited Financial Statements of the Organisation for the year from 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024.
As mentioned in the previous accounts, the Trustees applied to convert The Medusa Trust to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a new vehicle for charities that combines the former entities of trust and a company entirely under the Charity Commission). The Charity commission approved the conversion on 6[th] June 2024.
The governing document is the conversion document dated 6 June 2024.
The Medusa Trust is governed by its board of five Trustees, one of whom is elected as Chairman. The Trustees receive no remuneration or expenses. The Trust does not have any employees. The Trustees also serve as the Directors of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation and this report utilises the term “trustee” and “director” for the same purpose and should therefore be treated as inter-changeable and as having the same meaning and responsibilities.
## **Object and activities.**
The principal activity of the company is to restore, maintain, and operate HMS Medusa (ML 1387) as a permanent operational memorial to the officers and crew of the WW2 Coastal Forces.
## **Operations.**
The vessel is coded to Category 3 of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency Small Vessel Code and is therefore able to operate commercially within 20 miles of a safe haven, day or night with no weather restriction. Medusa is maintained and crewed by members of the Medusa Support Group which is a separate entity from the Trust. The Support Group contribute over 1,000 man-days each year. Sea passages include sea time for cadets, veterans, interested groups, port visits and one longer annual passage. The summer deployment includes the Channel Islands, France (D-Day beaches) and UK coast.
Medusa is lifted for one week each year for maintenance and annual survey.
During this year Medusa received approximately 1,000 visitors and delivered 44 operational (sea going or alongside educational) days.

This operating year, the trust has achieved a surplus of £31,490 principally due to some generous donations. In particular a donation of £5,000 was received from the Survey vessel association upon its winding up and another from the Hong King flotilla Association when it wound up. A further £20,000 was received from a benefactor.
The Trust relies on general public donations to keep Medusa operational and does not receive funding from government bodies.

**The Medusa Trust**
## **Trustee responsibilities.**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the financial resources and application of resources of the charity 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 of the Charities SORP; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and to prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
They are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and enable them to ascertain to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, both as amended subsequently, and the provisions of the Constitution, Governing Document or Trust Deed. 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 responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website.
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, together with the Charities Act 2011, was approved by the Trustees on 27 March 2025 and signed on their behalf by:
Alan Watson OBE Chairman
