Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The Charity continues to run sailing courses for both children and adults. These are formal RYA courses run by qualified Dinghy Instructors and cover different levels and stages of the RYA syllabus. This year we also ran a series of training days for children using the Club boats and member’s own boats. The Club also has a number of Power Boat Instructors, and it runs Power Boat Level 2 and Safety Boat Operator courses so that the sailing can be supported by qualified safety boats members. This year we held two ‘Junior Weeks’ which were attended by nearly 100 children, all members of the club. These weeks are run entirely by volunteers – members of the club who have qualified as instructors or safety boat operators through the RYA Schemes at the club and suitable adult volunteers assisting on land and on the water. Several of the instructors are youngsters who have been through our Junior Programme and enjoy giving back to the club by instructing on Junior Week. More informally, there were sailing sessions run roughly fortnightly in the safe area in front of the club on the high tide. While there is some instruction, particularly if there are adults, it is an opportunity for the children to gain water experience and confidence, play games and capsize, which the children enjoy. It is also an opportunity for less experienced sailors to sail while there are rescue boats on the water. These are very well attended by all ages. In addition to the long course races that the club holds, a number of ‘Short Course Races’ are run which are three half hour races in the Thorney Channel. Additionally, ‘Plastic Fantastic’, aimed at our beginners and improvers is evening training in our club boats throughout the summer and they then take part in Plastic Fantastic races, shorter and in the Thorney Channel. As before, the Club facilities have been used by the Armed Forces for team building and other events. The Army Inshore Sail Training Centre also sometimes use our club boats if they don’t have sufficient or suitable vessels.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** Charity Name **members of** Army Sailing Association – Thorney Island Sailing Club
**On accounts for the year** 31 August 2021 **Charity no** 1139736 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1 and 2 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
- **Independent** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my
- **examiner's statement** attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
* _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._
