All-Aboard! Water Sport and Water Recreational Activity (Bristol)
Trustees. Annual Report (eontlnued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
Structure. governance and management
Organlsatlon
All-Aboard is constituted as a Trustee organisation. The minimum number of Trustees to form a
quorale is four.
The Trustees are selected to provide a wide range of skills and experience appropriate for the charity
and include experts in accountancy. law, estate management, disability awareness. marketing, human
resources and education .
Aclivities are delivered by paid fully qualified activity instructors and supported by trained volunteers.
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
Public ben¢flt
The Trustees have complied with their duty under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due
regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. In shaping the objectives for
the year and planning activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on
public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit,. running a charity (P82)'.
Objectlves and actlvities
The object of the CIO is to promote - for the benefit of the inhabitanls of Bristol and the surroundlng
area - the provision of recreational facilities for the participation in water sports and such other rèlated
activities, for individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or

interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of lrfe of of the said inhabitants.

All-Aboard! Water Sport and Water Recreational Activity (Bristol)
Trustees. Annual Report (contlnuod)
Year ended 31 December 2024
Revlew of actlvltles
The aim of the Charity is to enable all members of society to participate in watersports. We operate
from the centre at Baltic Wharf, Bristol where specialist boats are equipped to cope with all needs from
the fully able to those with very complex needs. The Charity caters especially for children and adulls
living with disabilities (physical. learning or cognitivel, long term health conditions, andlor are from
disadvantaged backgrounds. Water-based activities offered include sailing, rowing, powerboating and
motor cruising, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding and raft b(Jilding. Shore-based activities
include boal building, Disability awareness and First Aid courses, and use of indoor fitness equipment.
Participants visit as individuals, in famlly and social groups, or with their school, support group or other
type of community or social group. Additionally during 2024 we commenced a contract with Bristol City
Council to provide Wild Water Swimming in Bristol floating harbour at weekends which has further
expanded and diversified our user population.
Unfortunalely we don't have sufficiently accurate figures lo provide a detailed breakdown of the
participanls who utilised our facilities during 2024; it is our intention to better analyse these statistics
during 2025. Our ambition remains to reach a target of 50°/o of participants who identify as having a
disability or long term health condition, are suffering loneliness, isolation or socio-economic
disadvantage, or having other limitations on accessing watersports.
A combinalion of granl income and a sound financial position allowed us to continue offering fullylpart
funded, or internally subsidised watersport sessions throughout the year to many groups. A Sport
England report published in Aprll 2021 recognised that the pandemic had mosl negatively impacted on
the activity levels of many of the people that we aim lo reach - women, young people aged 16-24. over
75s, people with disability or long term health conditions, and those from Black, Asian, and other
minorily ethnic backgrounds. The benelils to mental health of outdoor exercise and water activity are
also well documented and we know th81 participants (and our volunteers) often value the support and
social side of our activities as highly as the physical benefits.
Our fully funded projects Included watersports for children with long term health conditions land Ihelr
close family), sailing for ethnic minorities, sailing to improve mental health. watersports for
disadvantaged children and SEN schools, watersporls for young people at risk of homelessness,
sailing and rowing for those aged 50+ years, rowing for the visually impaired, and Harbour cruises for
those living With dernentia.
In addition to Indlviduals, and sociallfamily groups we also provided watersport sessions for,.
SEN schools and mainstream schoolslhigher education settings.
Community groups
153 sessions delivered with support areas including homelessness,
mental health, disability. adoption and fostering, bereavement, domestic abuse, autism,
vulnerable young people and dementia.
Specialist support services - Child and adolescent mental heallh unit, providers of specialist
short break services, professionals supporting NHS brain injury unils.
Other community groups including Scout, Cub and Brownie units, and environmental groups
working to clean up Bristol harbour.
Our weekly SailabilitylPaddleabilitylPowerability sessions for those requiring additional
support ran throughout the year and welcomed just under 400 participants over the year.

All-Aboard! Water Sport and Water Recreational Activity (Bristol)
Trustees, Annual Report (¢onllnued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
There w￿re a number of highlights during the year',-
We We￿ delighted to continue with our 'School Games, which gave 91 SEN pupils from 8
schools the opporlunily to learn sailing, rowing and paddlesports over a 6 week period,
culminating in a Regatta where pupils represented their school in friendly competition with
other schools an opportunity often denied SEN pupils. There were many other activities
where we worked with young people from special schools to provide them with opportunities
to experience times on the water that would otherwise not be be available to them.
At the beginning of 2024 we were given a year contract to run open water swimming in
the harbour in front of our watersports centre. This has proved to be very popular and we
anticipate extending this new activity in the harbour beyond the two years.
We also held a Disability Inclusive Watersports Festival for 8-16 year olds in which 800/0 of
partlcipants identified as having an impairment or disability.
The New Horizons Project. organised by the RYA. taught Ilfe skills through learning to sail to
10-20 year olds who had limited access to watersports.
We also continued our work with the older generation both Ihrough on waler activities. and onshore in
our shed where we provide opportunities for groups to work together to build and maintain watercraft
under the supervision of specialist boatbuilders and other skilled individuals.
For the more able, our race squad continued to develop young people's salllng skllls In a competltlve
environment.
Grant funding is vltal to allow us lo continually replace and upgrade our boals and equipment and the
financi81 securlty of the charity has been greatly helped by grants and donalions.
In particular, we are very grateful for the support from the Scobell Trust. the Nl8b•t Trust and the
John Jamos Foundation as well as support from many other organisatlons and Indlviduals wlthoui
whom our work would be impossible.
Grants have bean received from..

All-Aboardl Water Sport and Water Recreational Activity (Bristol)
Trustees. Annual Report (¢ontlnuod)
Year ended 31 December 2024
We are also extremely grateful to our permanent and casual staff who have demonstrated flexibilily and
taken on additional responsibility as needed during the year. We continue to recognise the
extraordinary contributions made by our dedicated volunieers, who assist participants on the water and
shoreside, help maintain and enhance our watercraft and Centre throughout the year, and spend many
hours restoring old donated boats for ultimate sale to raise extra funds.
Flnanclal revlew
Total income for the year was £313,154 which was a 4Q/o decrease over prior year {£327,479). This
decrease is primarily due to a 280/0 drop in grants and donations. The board has identified a need for a
part-time fundraising officer to address this for next year. Income from charitable activlties was
£216,564 (year ended 31 December 2023.. £210,985) and this covers 69 /0 of Ihe associated costs
(prior year.'790/0).
Total expenditure was 20% higher than the prior year due to the recruitment of two additional staff
members employed to strengthen our team. The impact of this additional investment in staff will be felt
in 2025.
As a consequence of the above staff investment, All-Aboard reported a small net decrease in funds of
£13,709 with funds totalling £292,880 al the end of the year.
Our cash position remains strong with bank balan￿S standing at £256,818 at the end of the year (prior
year.. £252,724). Reserves amounted to £2g2,880 of which £50,560 is held as our general unrestricted
reserve (prior year £46,254). The trustees have agreed to increase Ihe resilience reserve to £80,000 in
line with the increase in overheads.
Many of the granl-funding streams accessed by All Aboard in recent years hav8 now ended, however
we continue to seek new grants lo fund activities for our participants with additional needs, disability or
disadvantage. We remain reliani on ihe generosity of our donors to cover on-going shortfalls, while also
recognising the need to continue to develop new sources of income and to cultivate rnore relationships
with philanthropic individual$ and organisations to support our charitable work.
We continually look al the internal structure of the charity to control overheads. This approach means
that we enter 2025 on a sound financial and operational footing, and the long term financial security of
the charity looks secure.
Overall, the Trustees are satisfied with the financial position at 31 Decemb&r 2024.
Reserves Pollcy
The Trustees consider Ihat reserves are an inherent part of the risk management process. A downturn
in funding arrangements could affect Ihe Charity's ability to continue at its present level of activities and
in extreme circumstances even lead to closure. To meet its financial commitments the Trustees intend
to continue a policy of prudent reseNes provision.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of All-Aboard! Water Sport and
Water Recreational Actlvlty (Brlstol) (continued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
AudStor's responsibllitles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from malerial misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report 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 aiise 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 Ihese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance wilh ISAS (UKI. we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of materlal mlsstatement of the flnancial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstalement resulling from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions,
misrepresentalions. or the override of of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of Internal control relevant to the audil in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but nol for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures ma<Je by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Irustees, use of Ihe going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a malerial uncertainty exists related to
events or condition5 that may cast signifi¢ant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report lo Ihe related disdosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequale, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentalion, structure and content of the financial slatements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner thal achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findingy, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
Extent to whlch the audlt was considered capable of d•t¢¢tlng Irregularltles, Includlng fraud
Irregularlties, includlng fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line wilh our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularitie5, Including fraud is detailed below..
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the charity, focusing on
those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on
its operations. Key laws and regulations that we Identified included the Charities Act 2011, the
Charities Act 2022, tax legislation and employment legislation.

All-Aboard! Water Sport and Water Recreational Activity (Bristol)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of All-Aboard! Water Sport and
Water Recreatlonal Actlvlty (Bristol) (contlnued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
The risk of fraud and non-compliance wilh laws and regulations was discussed within the
audit team and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance or fraud throughout
the audit.
We reviewed the minutes of trustee meetlngs for evldence of nonoompllance with relevant
laws and regulations.
We considered the systems and controls that the truslees and management have in place to
prevent and delect fraud and lo mitigate non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We performe(l analytical procedures to identify any unusual items thal might indicate risks of
material misstatement due to fraud.
We reviewed the disclosures in the financial statements and tesled to supporting
documentation to assess complianca with the relevanl laws and regulations dlscussed above.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected
some irregularities, evan though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with
auditing standards, There is a higher risk of non-delection of material misstalements that arise due lo
fraud Ihan those that arise from error as they may involve collusion, forgery, intenlional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or
non4compliance wilh laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and
non•compliance with lav￿ and regulations.
Use of our réport
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the
Charities Acl 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to stale to
them in an audltor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accepl or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the Charity's members as a body,
for our audit work, for Ihis report, or for the opinions we have formed.
