Peter Le Marchant Trust (Registered number: 08379552)

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity 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 trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

BACKGROUND TO THE CHARITY

Peter Le Marchant died very young in the early '70s. His sister Clare searched for some time to find the best way to commemorate his life. On a trip on a friend's canal boat in 1973, she hit on the idea of building a boat for the disabled. That friend was a founder Trustee and, having resigned as a Trustee, took over the running of the Trust in 2002.

The first boat was a 40' narrowboat called "Matilda"; she carried her first 12 passengers in 1976.

As a result of the success of that first year, the Trust was formed in early 1977.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The principal objects of the Charitable Company, as outlined in the memorandum of association, are:

The Charitable Company has the general aim of contributing to the quality of life of the physically and mentally disabled and seriously-ill people of all ages from all over the country by the provision of boating day trips and holidays. It is believed that the therapeutic effects of a day or a holiday on the water on a mentally or physically disabled person are immeasurable.

Our activities and our boats

The charity operated two boats in the period with Jubilee, our new boat, becoming operational in 2023:

SYMPHONY

Symphony is our day boat which is equipped to take groups of up to 26 people including up to 10 standard wheelchairs. There is a wheelchair friendly hydraulic lift and specially designed toilets onboard.

The low level windows allow for easy viewing of the surroundings as we drift along the river. The boat is equipped with life jackets and crewed by an experienced Skipper with a Boatmasters Licence and our staff who will provide with information and assistance throughout the trip.

SERENADE

Serenade is our holiday boat which can take up to 10 passengers for four night holidays. Serenade is designed and equipped to accommodate groups of disabled and/or seriously ill people. It is specially designed to accommodate wheelchair users and has an experienced Skipper with a Boatmasters Licence. There are hydraulic lifts fitted, special designed showers and toilet facilities and central heating throughout. The boat has 10 standard sized beds with four top bunks with bedding provided allowing for comfort and privacy on your trips. The boat is equipped with life jackets and there are low level windows so that all can enjoy the surroundings.

Public benefit

In deciding what activities to undertake the Trustees have had regard to the guidance of the Charity Commission. Our main activities and whom we try to help are described within the charitable activities below along with the achievements of delivering public benefit. All our charitable activities focus on improving the quality of life of our passengers and their families by providing the opportunity to enjoy a distinctly different day out or holiday.

Investment Powers

In furtherance of the objects of the Charitable Company, the Trustees have the following investment powers:

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

We had a strong return to service over 2022 since the covid pandemic. Our season was shorter as we really began to take mainstream trip bookings from June, and we have reduced the number allowed on our trips from 26 to 20.

The makeup of our passengers and the groups that use our services still show a very high trend to people living with physical, mental, special needs and the elderly - totalling 57% of boat trips.

Our Wellbeing trips pilot for small groups and people not part of a group has proved very popular and were fully booked, we have gained finding to run more of these trips over 2023.

Our seasonal programme is proving very popular both being fully booked well before the date they are run. We are also fully booked for our Christmas trips. These trips made up 39% of our booking in 2022.

The charity operated two boats within the period, Serenade and Symphony, whilst the new boat Jubilee, which was purchased in the year, was prepared to take passengers in 2023.

Young Peoples Project.

Over 2022 our Young Peoples Project continues to develop and expand, working with key partnerships to deliver our programme, as well as doing our own bespoke projects. We have greatly increased the amount of young people engaged in our activities and using our local waterways

National Citizen Service - Further to the three weeks already hosted this year, we finished our placements with the NCS group w/c 22nd August who will be helped create some fantastic new garden areas at the trust which have inspired the gardening team volunteering at the trust to further work on the gardens. This has led to 80 young people active at our base from this organisation over the summer.

Peter Le Marchant Trust (Registered number: 08379552) Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The Prince's Trust - Completed a two weeks with the princes trust, including the renovation of two donated pedalos for their Get Started programme, where they were active on the base for a week working hard on these two rather dilapidated boats!

They have also completed a further week of crew training with the Coalville 12 week Team programme, of which we helped with their transport costs. Each successfully passed their training and will be issued with certificates for their achievements later this month. We have passed 26 young people aged 16-25 in crew training through this channel. We now have a firm working relationship with the Princes Trust and have already dates booked in the diary for next year for two crew training sessions and a further project week.

PLMT Young People's Crew training - Our crew training week was a great and several of these young people are now regularly crewing with us, after completing their training and mentoring sessions

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Young Peoples Saturday Sessions - These sessions are held once a month and we have successfully completed 7 of these over 2022, some of these have been in conjunction with the Canal and River Trust.

Over 150 young people and their families have attended and completed these sessions finishing off the season with narrow boat Lego building on Serenade.

Further Saturdays are, of course, being planned for 2023, and we are working closely with other organisations such as the Canal and River Trust and the Go Fishing! team to bring further events next year.

Sense College - We are hosting Sense college with a regular placement and are part of the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership and Speakers for these Schools. We have been working with these two organisations to bring a new project together in Leicestershire called ‘Unbox Your Future’ and involves producing a box of items relevant to the trust which are discussed in class. We then discuss roles and responsibilities within the organisation. Our project will involve the students learning hospitality skills, then bringing a class of younger students out for a trip on the boats, with these newly trained young people hosting (we will still be crewing of course). This is a 4 week programme, which we hope to further develop over the coming year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy

At the year end the Charity had unrestricted reserves of £469,130 (2021: £472,901) and restricted reserves of £209,816 (2021: £277,846) amounting to a total of £678,946 (2021: £750,747). Of the reserves held by the charity, £382,029 (2021: £270,618) relates to the tangible fixed assets of the charity used to carry out its charitable objectives. Therefore the unrestricted 'free reserves' available to the charity to spend on its charitable activities are £87,101 (2021: £202,283).

The Charity's policy remains to retain sufficient reserves to ensure the continuation of its activities for the foreseeable future whilst the Trustees also recognise the need to maintain sufficient reserves to safeguard against the operational risk faced by the charity relating to the replacement and maintenance of the boats.

In delivering the Charity's activities and achieving it's objectives, the Charity relies on the boats that carry the passengers. These boats are subject to regular maintenance and repair but should a boat require a major repair or replacement this would be a large cost to the charity. The boats are all comprehensively insured up to their market value but the market value of the current boats is significantly below the cost of a new boat. Due to the integral part that the boats have in delivering the objectives and benefit to the public, the Trustees feel that it is prudent to maintain reserves in order to bridge the gap between the current market value and the replacement cost.

The Trustees aim to hold sufficient reserves to cover 12 months of the charity's expenditure within unrestricted reserves and to increase the capital replacement fund in order to safeguard the operations of the charity. 12 months of expenditure (after accounting for transfers to cover costs from restricted funds) represents £124,828. Therefore the free reserves of the charity represent just over 8 months of unrestricted expenditure.

During the period ended 31 December 2022 the Company had a deficit of £71,801 (2021: £4,435). Without the grant income and donations in the period the charity would have generated a deficit of £148,403 (2021: £111,416) which highlights the importance of the ongoing support of its donors and funders.

In order to continue the charity's continued existence and success annual fund raising needs to cover the operational costs £219,002 (2021: £183,003) less the charges for boat hire £44,873 (2021: £15,207).In the current economic climate this is a daunting task and the trustees are grateful for the encouragement of all those involved in the workings of the Trust which include opening and strengthening relationships with users and supporters, fund raising to meet our operating costs, and the general enhancement of the purposes of the Charity.

FUTURE PLANS

Our plans over 2022/3 include:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The Limited Company Charity is controlled by its governing document, a memorandum of association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Organisation

The Board of Trustees, as set out above, governs the charity. The Board is required to hold at least two meetings in each calendar year. The Trustees have appointed a Management Committee to oversee the day-to-day administration of the charity, within the terms of reference laid down by the Trustees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The appointment of any new Trustee is at the discretion of the existing Trustees and is subject to their unanimous approval. New Trustees are chosen for the skills and enthusiasm that they bring to the Company.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure

The Board of Trustees delegates the day-to-day running of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer who reports to the Management Committee, which consists of three Trustees, via telephone or email if urgent decisions are required. All Management Committee decisions are ratified at the next meeting of the full Board of Trustees.

Induction and training of new trustees

New Trustees are encouraged to take days out on the day-boat, as well as spending time in the office. This gives them the opportunity to see for themselves how the organisation operates and to be able to speak to the staff, Volunteers and our passengers.

Key management remuneration

The Trustees consider the role and responsibilities of key management personnel and review the remuneration package in line with similar entities. Annual appraisals and pay reviews on key management personnel are undertaken based on the individual's performance of their duties and fulfilment of the objectives of the charity in the period.

Risk Assessment

As will be seen from the following paragraphs, the major risks to which the Company might be exposed are reviewed regularly by the Trustees. Systems and procedures are in place to manage such risks.

General: The safety and well-being of our passengers has always been the first priority of the Company, long before present legislation was introduced. The Charity is regulated by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency as well as the Health & Safety Executive and Canal & River Trust. With these regulatory bodies and our insurers in mind, the Company has developed a rigorous, comprehensive and well-documented Risk Assessment Policy, which is constantly under review. This includes guidance and mandatory training under the MCA Regulations for Volunteer Skippers and crews as well as for the permanent staff. A Trustees' Indemnity Policy is also in force.

Financial risk:

It is the objective of the Trustees to maintain prudent reserves are maintained in order to balance out the inevitable fluctuations in donated income from year to year (see Reserves policy).

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Peter Le Marchant Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 10 July 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Peter Le Marchant Trust (Registered number: 08379552)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Peter Le Marchant Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you

if, in our opinion:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Peter Le Marchant Trust (Registered number: 08379552)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our work is performed to include an assessment of the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including the risk of fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

In identifying and assessing risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
