Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees submit their report together with financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives, Activities and Achievements
High Tide is an independent charitable Foundation, funded by businesses on Tees Valley, which delivers life changing career experiences. We open young people’s eyes and minds to Tees Valley’s diverse career opportunities providing real life work experience which increases understanding, improves skills, raises confidence, and builds aspirations.
The Foundation’s aim is to improve learning and employment opportunities whilst raising aspirations for young people across the region through unique work experience and industry-led skills programmes.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the Foundation should undertake.
The Foundation delivers physical industry led programmes, from cadetships through to our flagship work experience programme, that support young people into work and deliver measurable improvements to skills and confidence.
In 2020 the foundation created a virtual programme offer in response to the restrictions placed by the coronavirus pandemic, and was supported through the partnership with national charity Speakers for Schools. The virtual programme offer has been received with very positive feedback and has now become a permanent aspect of the service the foundation delivers. Throughout 2021 the foundation was able to deliver a virtual offer but there were ongoing restrictions in pace that resulted in the physical programmes continuing to be postponed.
High Tide continues to provide career resources via the online career hub (formerly learning hub) and has begun work on creating a wellbeing hub to provide support to young people in maintaining positive mental health and wellbeing throughout the current changes they face. The foundation has sought the contribution from experts in this field such as the headlight project, semester and key wellbeing.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
It is the policy of the Foundation that unrestricted funds which have not been designed for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to six months of necessary expenditure to ensure that all ongoing programmes can be completed. This equates to approximately £36,000. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Foundation’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
At the year end the unrestricted reserves were £138,959 and restricted reserves were £3,836.
Due to cancelled events in 2020 and 2021, it was agreed that Corporate Partnership agreements were carried over to 2022.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Foundation is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 24 May 2012.
The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees, who are also directors of the company. Under the requirements of the Memorandum of Association the power of appointing Trustees shall be reserved to PD Ports PLC and Casper Shipping Limited. In 2017 it was agreed to increase the number of trustees from 5 board members to 8 board members.
In September 2021 two new trustees, Paula McMahon and Neil Parker, were recruited to the board. Paula has a very impressive engineering background, and her skills and experience at delivering educational programmes to young people are incredibly valuable to the foundation. With Paula’s appointment to the board this also brings the percentage of females on our board to 42%. Neil has an extensive financial background and will support the general manager in managing the finances of High Tide. Neil has been involved in the foundation’s programmes over previous years and has a passion for inspiring young people across Tees Valley.
Trustees serve a term of office for 3 years and maybe re-appointed at the end of the term provided that Casper Shipping Limited and PD Ports PLC consent by mutual agreement to their re-appointment.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The High Tide Foundation
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The High Tide Foundation (‘the Company’)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The charity is a private company, limited by guarantee and is a registered charity in England. The address of the registered office is given in the company information on page 1. The nature of the charitable company's operations and principal activities are shown in the Report of the Trustees.
The charitable company constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charitable companies preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) published in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to the accounts. The accounts are prepared in sterling rounded to the nearest £.
The charity currently has sufficient reserves to continue in operation. The Trustees therefore believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
COMPANY STATUS
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all the following criteria are met:The charity have entitlement to the funds;
Any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity.
There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and The amount can be measured reliably.
The company received government grants in respect of the Small Business Grant Fund. These grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is a reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attached to them. The grants were received using the accrual model.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Foundation has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Foundation has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt id expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
EXPENDITURE
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount can be measured reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is included in expenditure against the relevant cost for which the expenditure was incurred. Expenditure is classified under the following headings:-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities. It includes both costs which can be directly allocated to activities and those costs of an indirect nature. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
