Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice Reporting Accounting and by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The company has no share capital and in the event of liquidation or being wound up the liability of its trustees is limited to £1.

The trustees meet regularly throughout the year, with the Centre Development Director. The board of trustees are committed to refreshing the Board when appropriate with new trustees who have the skills and networks needed to help the charity achieve its goals. The trustees have overall responsibility for approval of strategy, policies, plans, risk management, staff appointments and finance. The day to day management of the charity is delegated to the Centre Development Director and Centre Activities Manager.

Public Benefit Statement

The trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims objectives and planning the future activities.

Sport England research shows that boosting participation in sport can generate a variety of socio-economic benefits. Sport can and does make a profound and positive impact on individuals, communities and wider society. The charity considers that its activities lead to significant public benefit in the areas highlighted by Sport England.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s objects are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of inhabitants of Greater London and surrounding areas by the provision of facilities for kayaking, canoeing and other outdoor sports.

The Phoenix Canoe Club and Phoenix Outdoor Centre are located next to the Welsh Harp reservoir on the borders of the Boroughs of Barnet and Brent between West Hendon and Wembley. The outdoor centre runs a range of activities for schools, youth and community groups aged from 9 upwards and adults offering:

Kayaking Canoeing Bell boating Stand-up paddle boarding
Sailing Windsurfing Raft building Powerboat training
Orienteering Team building First Aid training Forest School

The club is very active, meeting most Sundays at the reservoir as well as running a wide selection of river trips and training throughout the year.

As well as main stream schools and groups, we welcome participants with additional needs or challenging behaviours. We work closely with a wide variety of specialist groups and organisations to help promote education, personal development and integration in a safe, fun and adventurous environment.

The ethos behind all of our activities is the positive development of young people through sport and activities. As well as learning new skills and having fun, we aim to help unlock young people’s full potential, build confidence, self-esteem and develop other beneficial life skills.

Phoenix Canoe Club Limited

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Phoenix Outdoor Centre is licensed by the Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority for Kayaking, Open Canoeing, Bell Boating, Improvised Rafting, Sailing and Windsurfing (L9349/R1940). Phoenix Outdoor Centre is a recognised RYA Training Centre for Dinghy Sailing, Windsurfing, Power Boating and First Aid, RYA Sailability Centre and a British Canoeing Quality Mark Centre. Phoenix Canoe Club is affiliated to British Canoeing and is accredited with Sport England’s “Club Mark’’.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

In the calendar year 2022, the Covid-19 pandemic had passed, however, the effects of the disruption to normal life were still being felt and affecting the progression of skills with instructors, users and club members alike. The programme was returned to normal. Our winter pool sessions at Hatch End were cut-short by the roof being damaged by high winds.

The Club & Centre recorded circa 9,772 participant attendances per 2-hour session, (9,000 in 2021 and 9,378 in 2019 pre-pandemic). Most Club & Centre training and taster courses that ran were full, as people were looking for outdoor activities to provide fitness and wellbeing.

In the summer of 2022, with the financial backing of Active Thames and the London Borough of Barnet Innovation Fund, we were able to offer free activity sessions to groups and individuals that were in most need. The individuals and groups targeted had either physical, financial, cultural or emotional barriers which might normally prevent them taking part in water sport activities. We targeted the groups that met our criteria for free sessions which included young carers, BAME, disadvantaged, physical disabilities, SEND, religious groups, ex-pats, refugees, sports groups, cancer patients, postcode gang harmonising groups, foster children, arts & dance groups and holiday club schemes from low income areas. We then organised taster sessions or a course in kayaking or SUP for these groups at the centre fully funded, and where needed organised food and minibus or taxi transport to and from the centre.

The Club ran two white water trips to the Tryweryn and Dee in North Wales plus the Dart Loop. The long delayed trip to Slovenia, finally went ahead in June 2022 (should have been 2020) staying in a chalet in Bovec next to the Soca River in the heart of the Julien Alps.

FUTURE PLANS

The charity has resurrected the new building project in 2022 for completion of Phase 1 by Easter 2024, utilising the London Marathon Charitable Trust grant of £250k. Phases 2 & 3 will require further funding and a more detailed Planning Application.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In 2021 the charity opted to move its year end date from 31 May to 31 December. The accounts for 2022 are for the full year to 31 December, with comparative figures for the shorter 7 month period to 31 December 2021. A December year end is more suited to the annual activities of the club and outdoor centre, where the spring and summer periods are the busiest times.

The charity’s income in the year for 2022 was £185,065 (period to 31 December 2021: £135,603). The increase in income reflects the full year against the 7 month prior accounting period.

Grants income from trusts and foundations totalled £12,416 in year (period to 31 December 2021: £9,760). Grants included £5,000 from Active Thames Canal through River Trust to provide inclusive water sports, along with grants from Barnet and Brent councils for the same purpose.

Expenditure during the year to 31 December 2022 was £182,239 (period to 31 December 2021: £114,973, of which £119,835 was for staff costs (year to 31 December 2021: £70,989), and £62,404 on other activity and support costs (year to 31 December 2021: £43,984)

The surplus for the year to 31 December 2022 was £2,826 (to 31 December 2021: £20,630). The surplus in 2021 was higher than normally received for a year as the 7 month period of those accounts included the busier summer months.

Net assets held at 31 December 2022 were £132,065 representing unrestricted funds of £115,524 and restricted funds of £16,541 (31 December 2021: £129,239 comprising unrestricted funds of £115,171 and restricted funds of £14,068).

RESERVES POLICY

The charity holds the following reserves:

Restricted reserves comprise funds available for expenditure in accordance with the donor’s intentions for the use of the funding, the reserves held at 31 December 2022 are £16,541 (31 December 2021: £14,068).

Designated reserves are funds set aside from unrestricted reserves at the discretion of the trustees. In the case of Phoenix Canoe Club they represent:

General reserves are the balance of the charities unrestricted reserves that have not been designated for a particular purpose, as such they are freely available to the trustees for any of the charity’s purposes. General funds held at 31 December 2022 are £71,784 (31 December 2021: £78,748).

The charity seeks to maintain general reserves equivalent to approximately 3-4 months of expenditure and this policy suggests reserves of around £70,000 are needed. The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves held at the end of the year of £71,784.

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 December 2022

RISK POLICY

In accordance with best practice, the trustees keep a register of risks facing the charity. Risks are reviewed regularly, and actions are taken and controls put in place where appropriate. Through the risk management processes, the trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where possible. It is recognised that systems can only provide some assurance that major risks have been adequately managed and some risks are outside the control of the charity.

The principle risk areas, and the main mitigations are listed below.

Financial and income : Controls are in place over access to bank accounts and through use of dual signatory controls, along with regular monitoring of financial results and the production of forecasts. The charity reviews income generation sources and costs new activities, grants are applied for where additional income is needed to fund capital replacements or specific activities.

Safeguarding : The Club and Centre work with young people and have policies and guidance to ensure that there are proper safeguards in place to ensure that participants and staff operate in a safe environment for sport and recreation. Phoenix Canoe Club Limited is fully committed to safeguarding the well-being of its Club members and Centre users. All members and users should show respect and understanding for the rights, safety and welfare of others, and conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of the Club & Centre. We believe that taking part in water sport should be positive and enjoyable parts of children’s or vulnerable adults’ lives.

Health & Safety: It is the policy of Phoenix Canoe Club Limited to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health & safety of its volunteers, employees and members. The Trustees, volunteer staff and employees are to comply, as far as is reasonably practicable, with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and with all its statutory provisions. All members are required to assist in achieving this aim. Overall and primary responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy working environment within the Phoenix Canoe Club Limited rests with the Trustees. The onus of overall and primary responsibility does not absolve individuals from their specific responsibilities.

Facilities: The charity reviews insurance regularly to ensure adequate cover is in place. A forward maintenance plan ensures facilities and equipment are renewed as needed. Additionally the club has a back up arrangement with another centre in case of need.
