more holistic service (mirroring our own) through embedding a RN casework Manager and two
Transition Support Guides within our staff, while we are advising the Royal Naval Association in the
development of ils membership offer and services lo reflect those offered lo our members.
Rising need
Our outputs are driven by need. We have monllored need systematically over the last 5 years and Can
evidence that the need continues to rise,. hence our work oulpuls continue to increase. In particular..
need is rising faster in the veteran community than in the setwing Corps.,
il is rising e5pe¢ially quickly in the veteran mental health sphere since the classi¢ gestation period
for PTSD 1$ 7-10 years, meaning we will most likely be facing this rise for 3-4 years yet from veterans
who served in Afghanistan.
This rising need has led to increased spend by the Charity, having to pul in place the people. resources,

meetings, cadet activities and support lo sporting events on the adjacent sports fields. Named after the
Patron of the Charity, General Sir Gordon Messenger. the centre has a large hall, cafeteria and kitchen
area, meeting room, office, indoor and outdoor play areas. This £2.8M project, which could not be
funded by the MOD has been paid for though grants and donations of £1.9M, and £1 M from Charity
general funds, The MOD has agreed lo fund ongoing running and routine maintenance costs. It is
expected it will provide charitable benefit up lo 50.000 personnel and dependanls over the next 30
years. A local management committee on which the Charity is represented will oversee use in
accordance with the charitable objects of the Charity, and will capture feedb8Gk to the Corps and
Iru51ees annually.
The trustees have determined that the most appropriate treatment of the project ft)r accounting
purposes (since the land reverts lo MOD at the 30-year point and therefore the building), is lo deem it
a capital charitable grant, therefore the building's value has been removed from our balance sheet.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trustees consider that expenditure has been wllhin the Objects of the Charity during the reporting
period. They Consider that the Charity remains healthy and thus able lo meet ils future charitable
obligations.
The Charity was again reliant on income from donations, grants, fundraising events and investments.
In 2020, the COVID-19 crisis removed a significant proportion of our fundraising capability which meant
that we incurred a gross fundraising fall against budget of over £1.6M in year. principally due lo the
inability to hold major fundraising events..
Income generation was diversified across a number of strands.. major donor and corporate gifts,
regular giving and one-off donations, trusts and foundations, grants, community fundraising leilher
Charity-organised inilialives or individuals undertaking their own inilialivesl and legacies,.
Total gross Voluntary Income li.e. fundraisedl for the Group was £2.4M',
£259K was received in legacies, a 500/0 decrease on 2019 due to the delays in Probate caused by
the pandemic..

ROYAL MARINES ASSOCIATION - THE ROYAL MARINES CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Total Nel income for the Charity (including grants reGeived and after cost of raising funds) was
£1.7M behind budget al £2M, £1.1 M below lolal net income in 2019.,
Investment income was £1 OOK behind budget at £308K'.
Overheads (Office and administration costs and Direct Governance costs) were reduced al £387K,
reflecting the move of costs of the build of a new Customer Relationship Management database to
the asset register.
The Charity received setvices in kind valued al £201,004 from our parent charity RNRMC. This includes
finance administration, grants adminislralion, HR and IT support.
Investment pollcy and performance
The Articles of Association authorise Trustees to make and hold investments using the funds of the
Charity within current rules and regulations. During 2020 the Charity had investment management
teams.. the majority offunds were held by Cazenove Capital Management, who were currently instructed
to invest in a portfolio which will generate an agreed level of income whilst growing capital with a medium
risk portfolio. This return COLJld not be achieved during 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's
impact on the markel$'. income was 250h down on budget. Legacy RMA investments worth £1.6M at
the end of 2020 were held by BNY Mellon.
The combined investment funds value decreased from £13.1 M at the end of 2019 to £11.1 M 8t the end
of 2020, reflecting £1.25M drawn down to provide contingency cash flow, increasing cash held from 2-
3 months lo 5-6 months, and the funds losing £666,000 in value.
A joint revlew of investment manager has been held by RNRMC and the Charity, with a decision to
appoint Sarasin and Partners LLP. The transfer of the Cazenove and Newton funds is expected lo be
complete by the end of June 2021.
The whole fund value of the Charity dropped from £16.9M to £13.4M', £2.8M was due to the grant of
the Gordon Messenger Centre. the remainder was investment losses as a ￿sU11 of the pandemic.
The oversight of the management of the Charity's investments lies with a nominated trustee {Mr K
Breslauerl. and also with the Investment Committee {ICI of RNRMC, which is responsible for monitoring
the performance of the investment managers in line with the investment strategy approved by the Board
alongside RNRiVIC.
Reserves Policy
a. The Charity hold reserves for the following reasons..
In order lo ensure that the Charity is able lo meet unexpected and unbudgeted demands.,
In orderto ensure the Charity's short-long term suslainabilily in a context where it must generate
its own income lo cover costs.,
In Order lo ensure continuity of service to beneficiaries in the event of an unexpected decline in
charitable income.,
In order lo enable the Board lo fund any required transformation of operating model.
b. The particular context in which RMA-The Royal Marines Charity operates is condttioned by the
operations of the Royal Marines, and is changing and uncertain..
The actuarial liabilities of the Charity in the medium-long term are not known since the military
operational commitments of the Corp5 and their consequence on the Charity's beneficiaries
cannot be planned for., their frequent and changing operational deployment pallern leads to
disproportionate exposure lo the possibility of death or injury, therefore increasing the chances
of casualties and potential future calls on funds. Indeed, in the event of a major operation, the
Trustees may find that they must draw on a substantial amount of capital to assist the Corps
family al a lime of need,. hence reserves musl be readily accessible.

18
ROYAL MARINES ASSOCIATION- THE ROYAL MARINES CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The beneficiary community, estimated lo be in the region of 120-150.000 {serving and veterans
with dependantsl, will remain stable in size for the next 30 years since the size of the Corps
itself has changed little over that period, while life expectancy continues lo lengthen and the
welfare needs of the elderly become more complex.
The fundraising and income generating context for military charities has become more
challenging following the cessation of large-scale overseas operations in 2014, meaning that
the military community and its supporting charities are no longer in the public eye as they once
were, and competition from other ¢harilable causes has become stronger.
c. The reserves of the Charity must be flexible lo meet these changing demands and Calls on the
Charity's funds, which are held and applied for many different activities in line with ils wide range
of charitable objectives and slralegi¢ plans, arguably the widest of any military charity.
d. Vwhilsl the total value of the reserves held in investments as at 31 December 2020 was £11.09M,
£2.71M Is held in restricted funds which arise from the Royal Marines Day's Pay Giving
schemes, money which may only be applied in specific circumstances to support regimental
life, welfare, sport and adventure training. These funds are principally held in investments to
ensure that there is a balance of income lo meet the needs of current beneficiaries. bul also
growing capital lo ensure that the needs of future beneficiaries are met, in orderthat they remain
a sustainable resource for the Corps for future generations.,
£1.74M is held in the restricted Royal Marines Benevolent Fund, which may only be applied lo
benevolence grants and support, projected to cost £1.7M in 2021.,
£0.13M is also a restricted fund to be applied in grants supporting the activities of Royal Marines
cadets.
£1M is held in a designated fund with the intention of part-funding a National Museum of the
Royal Navy project lo provide a new Royal Marine$ Museum, subject lo review in mid-2021',
£0.5M is held in a designated fund to SUPF)Ort the membership activities of the Royal Marines
Association,.
£5.01M is left as unreslri¢led funds, however of this £3.19M is held as a minimum reserve
against the potential financial impact of identified, tabled and mitigated risks which Could impact
on the Charity's ability to deliver ils objectives.
e. Therefore, the free reserves of the charity are £1.852M, which equates to just over 5 months of
expenditure lo provide for grants, services and the adminislralion of the Charity.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Charity Trustee$ have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and review those
risks and the established systems and procedures lo manage those risks through oversight of a risk
register al each Trustee meeting. This register is directly linked to the delivery programme in order lo
ensure that risks whieh cannot be removed are miligaled against through the operations of the Charity's
staff. A three-slage line of defence assurance system is in place, based on the ￿gUlar checks of staff,
the oversight of Iruslees, and the annual interrogation of the appointed auditor.

FUTURE PLANS
COVID-19
The impact of COVID-19 has been considered on the company's future plans and budgeting processes,
as the effect of the outbreak will be a significant risk ft)r the year to 31 December 2021 and it is
estimated, 2-3 years beyond.
The crisis resulted in the Charity staff ceasing Offi￿-based operations and moving to remote working
from home. this was achieved seamlessly due to a major IT migration programme undertaken in late
2019. Staff have continued to deliver most aspects of welfare support, though il must be conducted
remotely, but all membership events were cancelled in year., it is hoped that staff will return to office by
mid-2021 and that events will recommence in September.
Our first priority was and will be to continue lo provide support lo the vulnerable members of our
community. those suffering from the downturn in the economy and the social impact of Coronavirus and
particularly those who may have even greater troubles due lo the social distancing measures imposed.
Whilst not front line, we are confident that we have alleviated significant pressure on the NHS and
government, as we continue to address the following crucial areas where COVID-19 is impacting our
community significantly..
Mental ill-health across our community.,
Family stfftsses across our community.,
Medical discharges of serving Royal Marines..
Unemployment among veterans and dependants.

21
ROYAL MARINES ASSOCIATION - THE ROYAL MARINES CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Even before COVID-19, the Charity faced a significant challenge in fundraising..
LIBOR bank fine funds are exhausted and will not be replaced.,
There is no potential governrNent funding 2Part from Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust grants,.
Brexit anxieties which have not yel restored business confidence.,
No public campaigning by the Royal Marines meaning that the military are out of mind.
The pandemic removed a significant proportion of our fundraising capability in 2020 and has a
significant impact on the first thirds of 2021. We have planned accordingly, bul in order to ensure
that essential services continue lo be provided, the trustees approved a projected deficit budget of
£400K.
There are sufficient free reserves for 10 months of expenditure as al the time of signing, bul if
fundraising and other income-generaling activities are not able to recover, the Iruslees will need lo
liquidate investments which are intended to be held for the long term in order to generate a recurring
income stream for beneficiaries. Cashftow is monitored monthly, looking forward 12 months. Based
on the revised forecasts the Trustees are satisfied that there is a reasonable expectation that the
company has adequate resources lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The
company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing ils financial statements.
Strategy and Programme 2021-30
In 2020 the Membership strategy was reviewed and revised for implementation in the first half of 2021,
which completed the revision of all the charity's functional strategies.
We continue lo follow a 3-year budgeted delivery programme with associated risk register based on the
revised strategies, delivered by the staff bul with regular reporting oversight from the sub-commillees
allied to the Charity's functional teams, which in lurn report to the Board.
This programme will ensure that the charity is proactive and bold, differentiated, sustainable. owned by
the Corps Family, recognised by the wider Community, and effeclivelefficient, cost-effeclive and
achieving maximum impact).
The programme ensures the following objectives will be se¢ured'.
1. We will enable those we serve to live by the Commando Mindset Iresloring. maintaining and
enhancing independence, dignity and effectivene$sl through financial and non-monelary support.,
2. We will promote and sustain the Royal Marines brand and e$prit de corps,.
3. We will increase and achieve a representative membership mix ofthe Corp$ Family and supporters,
in order that the Charity and Association become the heart of the Corps Family.
This year the charity celebrates the 75￿ anniversary of the founding of the Royal Marines Association
in 1946, which will be the focus for membership events and community fundraising inilialives.
The Board and Executive have commenced further work to improve the charity's delivery in the 2022-
24 period,. and further to review the whole strategy of the charity for 2025-30 against the projected
demographic changes of the beneficiary community, operational ¢ommitmenls of the Royal Marines,
and other accepted trends in the serving and veteran military population of the UK, with the opportunities
and challenges that will be presented. We will seek to develop the Unique Selling Point of the charity
as the embedded charity of the Corps. so uniquely placed to provide appropriate charitable support.

they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic deGisions of users taken on the basis of
these financi21 stalemenls.
Irregularities, in¢luding fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delecl material misstalemenls in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our proGedures are capable of delecling
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Explanatlon as to what extent the audlt was consldered ¢apablo of detectlng Irregularities,
Includlng fraud
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are., to identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements due lo fraud,. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the assessed risks of material misstalemenl due to fraud, through designing and
implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks,. and to respond appropriately lo instances
of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the
prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of
the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows..
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable lo the
charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the
Charities and Trustee Investment (Scollandl Act 2005 las amended), regulations 6 and 8 of the
Charities Accounts (Scollandl Regulations 2006 las amended}, the Charities Act 2011, the
Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting
Council.
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these
requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We assessed the risk ol material missl8lement of the financial slatemenls. including the risk of
material misslalement due to fraud and how il might occur, by holding discussions with
management and those charged with governance.
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of
non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures lo identify
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of
management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative
evidence as required.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional sGepticism throughout the audit. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misstalemenl of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not delecling a material misslatemenl resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order lo design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, bul not for the purposes of expressing
an opinion on the effeclivene$s of the group and parent charitable company's internal control.

ROYAL MARINES ASSOCIATION- THE ROYAL MARINES CHARITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
al Basls of preparation
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost¢onvention, as modified
by the revaluation of inveslmenl$ being measured at fair value Ihroltgh income and expenditure within the
statement of Financial Activities.
The fi'nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021. The Charitable Company and ils subsidiaries are a public benefit group
for the purposes of FRS 102 and therefore the Charity also prepared its financial slalements in accordance wilh
the Slalemenl of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the
Companies Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011 and Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 as amended by
The Charities Accounts Iscollandl Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2014.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded lo the nearest pound.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are sel out below.
bl Golng concem
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going ¢on¢ern basis is appropriate and have considered
possible events or conditions, particularly those arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, that might cast significant
doubl on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern, The trustees have made this assessment for
a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial stalemenls. In particular the trustees have
considered the charitable group's forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on donation
and investment income. After making enquiries the Iruslees have concluded that there is a reasonable
expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future. The charity therefore continues lo adopt the going concern basis in preparing ils fi'nancial statements.
c) Group flnancial statement8
These financial statements consolidate the results of the Charity, TRMC Enterprises Limited and the RM Shop
Limited, wholly owned trading subsidiaries on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities
and Income and Expenditure Account is not presented for the Charity itself as the Charity has taken advantage
of the exemptions afft)rded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
d) Income
All income is recogni5ed when there is entitlement to the funds, the receipt 15 probable and the amoynt can be
measured reliably.
Legacies are recognised following probate and once there is sufficient evidence that ￿CeIpt is probable and the
amount of the legacy receivable can be measured reliability. Where enlillement to a legacy exits but there is
uncertainly as to ils receipt or the amount receivable, details are disclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria
for incorne recognition are met.
Income is deferred when the donor attaches conditions outside the charity's own control or specifies that the
resources are lo be used in a future accounting period.
Investment income is received nel of investment management fees bul is grossed up in the accounts for
investment management fees.
Government grants
Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity
recognises the associated costs for which the grant is intended lo compensate. This includes £72,028 of
Government assistance under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme {CJRS) relating to staff who were
furloughed due to Covid-19.

obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been
classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Grants payable are payments made lo third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charity.
Unconditional grant offers are accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award and its payment
is probable. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance or other conditions are accrued
when the recipient has been notified of the grant and either the performance condition is met or any remaining
unfulfilled condition at18ching to the grant is outside of the Control of the Charity.
gl Irrecoverable VAT

compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related lo statutory audit. legal fees
and trustee meeting expenses together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
11 Pension costs and other post-retirement beneflts
The charity operates a defined Gonlribution pension scheme. Contributions payable are charged to the Statement
of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
m) Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Baslc Financial Instruments, of FRS 102 to all of
ils financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the charity
becomes party lo the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the
net amounts presented in the financial slalemenls. when there is a legally enforceable right lo sel off the
recognised amounts and there is an intention lo settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the
charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their d￿Scretion. have
created a fund for a specific purpose.
51 Heritage asset8
The Charity is the owner of a collection of Paintings, Silverware and other items. Many precious works are
contained within messes across the Corps, which is housed and managed on behalf of the Charity by Serving
Royal Marines within the Corps Secretarial. The collection is considered irreplaceable and as such it is not
possible lo allribule a reliable cost or value lo it. 11 is additionally considered that the process of obtaining
valuations of the collection would be di5proportionale to any public benefit that might be derived and that il is
impractical to apply conventional valuation techniques to the collection, due lo the uniqueness of ils nature.
t) Critical accountlng estlmates and areas of judgement
In the view of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have
a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions
made carry a significant risk of material adjuslmenl in the next financial year.
