Coronavirus (COVID-19) acknowledgement

This report looks back on another year impacted by Covid-19. Therefore, it is important that we acknowledge the direct and indirect impact that the pandemic continues to have on the Andrew Simpson Foundation and the people that we support.

Due to government lockdowns, our Andrew Simpson Centres were only permitted to operate for 9 months of the year. When the Centres re-opened in March 2021, they had to adhere to strict Covid-19 regulations and reduce the numbers of people visiting the Centres. As these restrictions began to ease, the Centres found themselves busier than ever, catering to young people who had missed out on extracurricular activity for over a year, and customers unable to travel abroad. This resulted in the Andrew Simpson Foundation having its best financial year to date.

Despite the financial success of 2021, we have ' ' f fi;,| still seen, first-hand, the negative impact the pandemic has on the young people we support.

We want to thank everyone who continued to support our work during 2021.

Chair of the Board of Trustees Introduction 2021 was another challenging year for us all and despite starting the year in a national lockdown, we were still able to safely welcome over 30,000 participants to our Andrew Simpson Centres and to deliver across our nine key charitable programs focused on the three key themes across: Access & Participation, Health & Wellbeing and Careers & Education. As this annual report sets out, the hard work of our staff and volunteers coupled with the generosity of our supporters has enabled us to very quickly get the young people we work with back on the water to experience the benefits and personal development that sailing brings. Coming out of the pandemic, the importance of the Foundation’s work to physical and mental health and well being is also clearly evident, and this continues to be backed up and analysed through our program of research.

Despite the challenges, 2021 was also a year of development for the Foundation - we launched the NCEF level 3 extended Diploma in Sport and Physical Activity at our Portsmouth Centre (enabling young people to turn their passions into a career), Andrew Simpson Yachting (adding yachting provision to our charitable and commercial programs) and the Boatgen initiative with Boatfolk which further extends our geographical reach across the UK, beyond our existing Centres.

We have also recommenced our plans to grow our charitable output and UK presence and we continue to progress discussions with potential new centres, particularly where the financial impact of the pandemic is threatening sailing provision. We are only able to continue our work and plan for future growth with support, and to all of our staff, volunteers, supporters and benefactors – thank you so much for helping us through 2021.

Andrew would always tell the young sailors that he worked with that they should never give up on achieving their goals - our commitment at the Foundation is to ensure that we never give up on achieving Andrew’s goal to inspire and encourage young people, helping them to develop and excel and enabling young people from all walks of life to realise their full potential and pursue their dreams.

Chief Executive

Introduction

As I look back on 2021, I am once again amazed and humbled at how Andrew’s legacy continues to live on through the young people we support.

The start of the year was filled with uncertainties. However, as restrictions eased it was incredible to see our Andrew Simpson Centres reopening and instantly supporting young people from their local communities, enabling them to get out on the water and experience the joys and challenges of sailing and watersports.

Our mission is to transform lives through sailing. Yet transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It requires time, determination, dedication, and perseverance. It also requires a clear plan of action to get you from where you are, to where you want to be.

Many of the young people we support come from challenging and complicated backgrounds. They have found the past two years extremely difficult and are now navigating a complex world with increased anxiety and stress. Yet, when they are given the opportunity to get out on the water, these young people transform into confident, competent individuals whose resilience, determination and strength often leaves me in awe.

Our aim is to not only get these young people out on the water, but to take them on a journey, creating clear and accessible pathways which enable them to pursue their passions. It is always fantastic to meet young people whose sailing journey started on an ASF taster day and who are now working towards becoming Instructors, coaches and even Olympic Sailors! You can read about some of these young people in this report.

The launch of the NCFE Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport and Physical Activity (Outdoors) highlights our commitment to creating these pathways, along with the vision to open more Andrew Simpson Centres across the UK in the next two years.

Objectives & Activities

Trustees’ Report

The members of the Board of Trustees take pleasure in presenting their impact report and audited financial statements for the charity for the year 1st January – 31st December 2021.

Background

The Andrew Simpson Foundation was founded in memory of Olympic Gold Medal and America’s Cup sailor Andrew “Bart” Simpson, MBE, who tragically died in a training accident in 2013 at the age of 36. Andrew was committed to helping others by providing inspiration and encouragement wherever he could and working with young people to help them develop and excel. The Andrew Simpson Foundation seeks to honour Andrew’s legacy.

The stated objectives of the charity are:

  1. to advance the education in the sport of sailing of young people by the provision of support, assistance and encouragement (to enable them to fulfil their potential)

  2. to advance the education, development and improvement of young people (mainly) through the provision of sailing programmes to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible citizens;

  3. the advancement of education in the field of sports leadership and training in the context of the sport of sailing.

  4. to promote such other purposes being exclusively charitable as the directors may from time to time determine.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build an engaged, global community of accessible sailing and watersports and is underpinned by our ethos of “Sailing for All”.

We want to achieve this vision so that we can provide thousands more opportunities for people to get out on the water.

Our values

Inclusivity - for everyone

Enjoyment - creating a positive and memorable experience Community - building positive relationships Development - creating an environment of nurture and growth Inspiring sharing our passion for sailing Partnerships - we seek meaningful connections and work together

Key Strategic Objectives

These objectives are achieved through charitable activities within our key focus areas.

Our Mission

Our mission is “together we transform lives through sailing”.

- : 0) Together we transform 4 lives through sailing...

Our Charitable Activities

Absolutely everything we do is driven by our belief that all young people have the ability to excel and succeed in life and work. We believe that the challenges of sailing and watersports do this by promoting health and well-being and building essential personal skills.

To achieve this, the Andrew Simpson Foundation has developed three focus areas, underpinned by our ethos of ‘Sailing for All’. Under these three focus areas, we have developed charitable programmes and activities which strive to transform young people’s lives through sailing.

Providing sailing for all To achieve our vision, we are developing a network of centres across the UK. These centres will create opportunities in sailing and watersports for individuals from all walks of life and with all levels of exerpience. Our funding and delivery model is circular. The ASF supports our centres financially by subsidising places in our classes, courses and clubs. Surplus profit from the centres is then delivered back to the Foundation to help us continue to grow and impact more lives.

Access & Participation

true or perceived barriers and enable and encourage all young people to participate in sailing and watersports. We achieve this via the following activities:

We believe that everyone should be able to access and participate in sailing and watersports, regardless of background or ability. Therefore, we work to remove any

Community Clubs

We deliver a variety of Community Clubs across our Andrew Simpson Centres:

BYS Windsurfing Club

Race Club

BYS Windsurfing Club is a community for windsurfers and aspiring windsurfers of all levels where coaching and fun are combined to teach skills and help young people to stay in the sport.

Race Club offers regular sessions for young people who have a desire to experience and develop their racing skills. As well as providing equipment and clothing, participants have access to high-level race coaching and the opportunity to enter races and regattas.

Sailing Club

Sailing Club offers weekly sessions in which young people can improve their sailing skills and make new friends. Young people of all abilities are welcomed into a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Paddle Club

Paddle Club offers regular participation, fun kayaking and SUP sessions for all abilities. Young Paddlers put their skills into practice on a regular basis, whilst making friends and enjoying the sport.

Discover Sailing

There are currently seven million children aged five to 15 in England. Nearly four in five are not doing the recommended daily amount of exercise. (Sports England)

Through Discover Sailing, we are bringing taster sessions to young people in our local communities. We include key messaging in partnership with the RNLI to make young people safer around water.

Each young person is given opportunities to continue sailing through our other Charitable Programmes. We hope that our Discover Sailing sessions enable young people to access an exciting new sport and become more active individuals.

of young people said they had more determination after 77% participating in a Community Sailing Programme

Discover Sailing is made available to all young people, regardless of their background or ability.

In 2021, 2,848 young people took part in Discover Sailing, rising from 100 in 2020.

All Community Clubs are subsidised by the Andrew Simpson Foundation, enabling young people from all walks of life to participate. Each Community Club is outcome focused and works towards our fundamental mission of transforming lives through sailing. With the easing of lockdown restrictions from April 2021, our Community Clubs proved extremely popular with many young people desperate to get out on the water and reconnect with their friends

In 2021, 2,442 subsidised Community Club sessions were delivered across our Andrew Simpson Centres, with the support of the Andrew Simpson Foundation. This is in comparison to 1,700 subsidised Community Clubs sessions taking place in 2020.

Bart’s Bash

Bart’s Bash is the Andrew Simpson Foundation’s flagship fundraising race, connecting sailing communities around the world. It was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest sailing race in the world, held across multiple sailing venues, in 2014.

Bart’s Bash 2021 Highlights

• The Sint Maarten Yacht Club saw 24 teams participate in 7th edition of the Bart’s Bash. The SMYC hosted the event on September 11 and saw 24 teams compete, divided over 4 classes, of which 7 teams came from the Friar’s Bay Sailing Club. The SMYC raised funds through a bake sale to be able to replace a stolen dinghy with a total of $560 raised! Congratulations - together we can transform lives through sailing.

The annual event has become a well-established fixture at sailing clubs around the world and is seen as an excellent way to encourage large numbers of people of all abilities to participate in sail racing and be part of a global sailing event.

The aim of Bart’s Bash is simple: To get as many people, around the world, on the water over the course of one weekend in the year , in order to:

This year 118 Sailing Clubs and groups took part in Bart’s Bash, raising over £18,600 for the Andrew Simpson Foundation. Sailing Clubs also raised money to support their own community groups and members.

Every single penny raised will transform young people’s lives through sailing.

Health & Wellbeing

We believe that participating in sailing and watersports promotes positive health and well-being. Therefore, we have developed two charitable programmes which focus upon young people’s physical and mental health.

Aiming High

8% of children are living with a disability (Family Resources Survey 2016/17).

Almost 1 in 4 children and young people show some evidence of mental ill health, including anxiety and depression (Young Minds 2018).

Aiming High is a sailing and watersports programme which supports young people living with a learning and/or physical disability. The programme also focuses on young people’s mental health, using sailing and watersports to boost young people’s sense of self-worth and help them manage their emotions.

Sail Fit

Sail Fit focuses on tackling inactivity in young people, teaching them new skills and inspiring them to eat a healthily and balanced diet.

Careers & Education

which inform and have a positive impact on their future career.

We believe that access to sailing and watersports enables young people to gain accredited qualifications and develop life skills

Young Leaders

Young Leaders focuses on those aged 14+ and provides them with the opportunity to attend a leadership-training programme where they learn key skills and are prepared for the Dinghy Instructor qualification.

The programme works with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and aims to equip these young people with the skills needed to gain employment in the marine industry so that they may become valuable contributors to society .

In 2021, 9 young people took part in Young Leaders.

Portsmouth Sail Training Trust

attending the programme throughout the year. As well as gaining sailing and maritime skills, all the young people developed valuable life skills such as communication, resilience and self-confidence.

Portsmouth Sail Training Trust (PSTT) is a registered charity (no. 1153870) and a subsidiary of the Andrew Simpson Foundation. It is based at the Naval Dockyard in Portsmouth and Haslar Marina.

Raising Aspirations for Young People

“PSTT has had such a positive impact on pupils, it is now built into their curriculum. It helps them build up their confidence and learn how to work together in an environment outside of school.

One of the students involved in the programme was selective mute. He barely spoke in Junior School and was the same in Secondary School.

Fast forward to now and after a year of attending PSTT, the young man now speaks every day, he is accessing all his lessons in school and has just finished his mock exams. He took to sailing very well and formed a great relationship with the sailing instructors. The skills he has picked up, and the huge boost to his confidence and self-esteem, has honestly changed this young man’s life.”

Tony Hewett – Class Teacher, Miltoncross Academy

PSTT provides maritime training, qualifications and mentoring to 120 disadvantaged young people. PSTT aims to help these young people raise their aspirations.

The PSTT programme provides opportunities for disadvantaged young people from Portsmouth who are struggling to engage with mainstream education. The primary aim of the programme is to raise their aspirations. It focuses on developing their personal and life skills as well as mentoring them back into mainstream education. The programme also provides qualifications that open doorways to careers in the marine industry.

2021 was another challenging year for PSTT, with the programme only being able to operate from April onwards. However, PSTT was still able to support the young people of Portsmouth, with 120 young people

About the course

“This incredible course looks to truly inspire and motivate students to aim high and achieve their dream careers in the marine and maritime sector, regardless of their background. I’m really proud of the impact the Andrew Simpson

Foundation is having both locally and nationally, partnering with local educational bodies to achieve this. My own path into professional sports was challenging in that there wasn’t a dedicated pathway I could follow or a course that I could take but I was incredibly fortunate to have some amazing people around me that were able to guide me.

For the Andrew Simpson Foundation to offer a course that can provide that pathway and opportunity is fantastic. I really hope that young people are inspired to sign up and explore the many future career opportunities within the Portsmouth and Gosport area, an area experiencing a huge growth in the marine and maritime industries, and not to forget an area, I’m extremely passionate about being close to home”.

-Sir Ben Ainslie, a founding trustee of the Andrew

Simpson Foundation

“Plans to build a Marine and Maritime Careers Centre is such positive news for our area. Our peninsula is home to a range of marine and maritime businesses, and it is so important that our young people have the skills which can really secure the future prosperity of Gosport’s world class marine and sailing industry.”

-Caroline Dinenage, Gosport MP

Career pathways into the Marine & Maritime industry

In 2021, Andrew Simpson Centres launched a brand new water-based Diploma In Sport And Physical Activity (Outdoors) in partnership with Gosport and Fareham MAT - Multi Academy Trust (GFM).

“The GFM was formed with the ambition of working collaboratively and purposefully with local organisations and community partners in our town. Our new Marine and Maritime centre and diploma is a hugely exciting step forward , offering the young people of Gosport and beyond the opportunity to forge new careers paths on the water. Huge thanks go to our partners Andrew Simpson Foundation and patron Alex Thomson.”

The new state-of-the-art maritime centre is based at the GFM with a focus on developing skills and qualifications for marine careers.

The post-16 vocational diplomas, equivalent to 3 A-levels and run by the GFM in partnership with the Andrew Simpson Centres, welcomed its first cohort of students in September 2021.

-GFM Executive Trust Lead for Personal Development & Community Services, Chris Willis

The marine and maritime careers centre consists of purpose-built classrooms located metres from GFM school Bay House in Stokes Bay. The scheme is backed by Olympic sailing gold medalist and founding trustee, Sir Ben Ainslie, and Gosport MP Caroline Dinenage while British Sailor Alex Thomson, who attended Bay House School, is the patron of the GFM Marine and Maritime curriculum.

Skipper Programme

The Skipper Programme is delivered in Mossel Bay, South Africa, and focuses on providing opportunities for disadvantaged young people from local townships to get out on the water and gain accredited maritime qualifications.

However, frequent changes in lockdown regulations throughout 2021 meant that it was sometimes challenging to get out on the water. Despite this, the Skipper Programme was able to be fully operational from September onwards, with young sailors working towards their Level 3 qualifications, the Ladies Group participating in their first Bart’s Bash, and the young people getting the chance to participate in a variety of regattas.

The ‘Steering the Course’ event which took place at the beginning of November was a particular highlight for the team. ‘Steering the Course’ is a World Sailing initiative aimed at encouraging female participation in the sport. A group of young women attended the course from Great Brak, a coastal village located in Mossel Bay.

Elfie Holden, Skipper Programme Chairperson and Centre Manager in Mossel Bay says, “in the little town of Great Brak the unemployment rate has escalated causing copious social problems. Uplifting yourself in these circumstances is very difficult, and the challenges these young ladies are faced with on a daily basis breaks one’s heart. This group of girls and ladies needed some positive affirmation and sailing was harnessed. They loved the fact that they could be in charge of their own vessels. Our hope is that this feeling of empowerment will spill over to the rest of their life”.

International Activities

The Foundation undertakes a limited number of charitable activities either located outside of the United Kingdom or with international beneficiaries. International activities typically include projects where funds have been donated for a specific purpose, where the activity acts a pathfinder for the continued development of our programs and research and where the Foundation has the opportunity to provide significant charitable benefit (including those connected to legacy grant appplications or international fund raising). In 2001, in addition to Bart’s Bash, the Foundation’s primary international charitable activities were:

World Training Sailing Scholarships

The Foundation continues to work with World Sailing to provide the International Sailing Scholarships based primarily out of the ASC Portland. By enabling the delivery of the scholarship, ASF supports emerging sailing nations to increase participation.

World-leading research

“Benefits to mental and physical health through being physically active have been consistently demonstrated over the past few decades” , said Richard Percy, CEO of the Andrew Simpson Foundation. This research further illustrates the value of being physically active outdoors, in the natural blue environment.

The Andrew Simpson Foundation is proud to announce the latest release of crucial research into the benefits of sailing on young people’s lives.

The ASF first set out to produce academic research in 2016 to demonstrate the positive impact of sailing and has since co-funded research in partnership with 3 universities, including the University of Winchester, the University of Exeter and the University College London (UCL). The aim of the research was to demonstrate the positive impact of sailing on young people. All publications are now accessible for all to view and download on the ASF’s website.

This goes beyond the physical and mental benefits and includes a collection of life skills such as confidence, empowerment, the development of personal, social and cognitive skills.

Since the pandemic, we’ve been delighted to see that the appetite for getting out on the water is stronger than ever. It is a clear antidote to the isolation of lockdown and, as we now know from this research, being active in a blue space is key for all, particularly during these challenging times.”

The latest research, funded in partnership with the RYA, was a landmark study by the Institute of Education at University College London (UCL). The research investigated the individual developmental benefits of dinghy sailing for young people. ‘Children and Sailing’ specifically examined the consequences of participation in the RYA OnBoard (OB) programme and successfully evidenced the positive impact on young people’s lives.

All publications are now accessible for all to view and download via the webpage below. We are committed to always making the results of our research freely available to the wider sailing community for anyone to use and benefit from.

Our latest research

Dr Ellie Gennings is a Lecturer in Sports Coaching at Bournemouth University. Ellie has been working in partnership with the ASF for a few years now, with research mainly focused out of our ASC Portsmouth.

Building on her previous research with the Andrew Simpson Foundation and the University of Winchester, she has obtained funding for a project that is focused on exploring marginalised communities’ barriers to accessing the ASF’s programmes. Her previous research has identified the benefits of water sports for youth populations, and she is now looking to explore, via focus groups, why parents might not want to engage their children in the ASF’s programmes. The aim of the project is to help understand and break down perceived barriers.

RYA OnBoard is one of many grass roots programmes supported by our Andrew Simpson Centres (ASC). Our ASC’s introduce sailing and windsurfing to young people aged 8 to 18, connecting schools and youth groups with RYA clubs and training centres.

ASC Performance Academy

The Performance Academy, powered by the Andrew Simpson Centres, has grown in 2021, after a successful launch in Autumn 2020.

The aim of the Performance Academy is to provide high quality training which enables young sailors to achieve success at every level. The Performance Academy achieves this by offering and supporting class specific training, international event support and transition training.

The Performance Academy is a continuation of the charitable work of the Andrew Simpson Foundation, creating clear pathways and opportunities for young people from entry level sailor through to elite athlete.

Sponsors of the Performance Academy

Four sailors across the junior, youth and senior pathway were selected to receive subsidised access to our Performance Academy group training, mentoring programme and an equipment package.

These sailors were selected based on their need for additional support and their alignment to the ASF’s values (Inclusivity, Enjoyment, Community, Development, Inspiring & Partnerships).

Club Academy

Our Club Academies, launched this year, provide subsidised high quality junior race training regionally across the UK. These are delivered through our centres in partnership with adjoining clubs and the Performance Academy.

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the strategic, business and operational risks faced by the charity’s activities. It has established processes to consider and manage those risks. The risks and processes are reviewed annually. The following section identifies four principal risks and uncertainties associated with the strategic, business and operational management of the Foundation and how these risks are mitigated:

Risk - Reduction in the level of fundraising income and availability of cash to fund future operations

Annual budgets are prepared by the Chief Executive Officer. When preparing the annual budget, consideration is given to the realistic level of income achievable, the level of charitable delivery and the minimal expenditure required to run the charity sustainably and maintain a cash reserve in line with the Charity’s policy.

At the current time, the risk of further shutdowns is considered unlikely with any risk more likely to be about demand for courses and operational delivery. However, the Trustees are prepared to take prompt mitigating actions to minimise costs and preserve cash again if required. Borrowing facilities could be applied for as a last resort to fund any short-term deficits, but this is not forecast, and the Trustees have no desire to utilise borrowing facilities at this stage.

Future and current fund raising and income generating activities are reviewed annually by the Board and the Chief Executive Officer prior to the completion of the annual budget. Proposals for fund raising and income generating activities, for the upcoming year, are then incorporated into the annual budget for approval by the board of Trustees.

The Chief Executive Officer reports to the board of Trustees, on a periodic basis, the current level of charitable activity, income, expenditure and cash position enabling the board to make timely decisions if so required.

Risk – Disruption to operations caused by Covid-19 pandemic

The impact of Coronavirus in2021 has been covered above and has continued to affect the Foundation in the first half of 2022 through individual cases of Coronavirus disrupting operations on both the supply and demand side. Additionally, the opening up of international travel has led to uncertainty over demand for the key summer months.

To ensure the Foundation can continue to support its beneficiaries into the future, the trustees have implemented an operational and financial plan that is designed to safeguard its continuation through to December 2022 and beyond.

Andrew Simpson Foundation - Annual Report & Financial Statements 2021 49

Policies

Risk – An incident or accident occurring

All ASC and PSTT activities and operational risk management policies and systems are reviewed by a ‘Health and Safety Board’ twice per year. All reporting and operational risk management systems used at the ASC have been developed in line with industry standards and are accredited by the national governing body, the Royal Yachting Association and the Adventurous Activities Licencing Authority. Appropriate levels of insurance for all activities at the ASC are maintained and reviewed annually.

Risk - ASSF Grant payments made to inappropriate recipients

The board, with support from a member of the Executive team, have developed a grant application process that ensures due diligence is undertaken prior to the awarding of a grant. Grant recipients are required to report back to the Foundation on the outcomes of their sailing project and number of participants engaged. If grant recipients are unable to deliver their proposed projects due to changed circumstances the board reserves the rights to withdraw all or part of the grant.

Risk – Fraudulent financial activities taking place

The Foundation has developed a comprehensive set of controls with regards to the handling and management of cash. The Foundation and its subsidiaries maintains its accounting records on proprietary commercial software packages managed by a financially qualified employee utilising checks and controls appropriate for the operations. The payroll is outsourced to PW Payroll Solution Ltd. The Foundation also seeks advice from PKF Francis Clark on key financial management areas such as tax compliance and VAT compliance. The Foundation is independently audited PKF Francis Clark.

Reserves Policy

The Foundation’s unrestricted reserves are reviewed by the Trustees on a quarterly basis to ensure that it maintains at least one year’s committed operating expenditure (after deducting the cost of all approved grants) in cash to manage against unforeseen circumstances.

Small Company Provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small company’s regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document

The Foundation was established during the period following the untimely death, in May 2013, of Andrew “Bart” Simpson MBE, Olympic and World Champion.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The legal members of the charitable company are the Trustees and the liability of each member in the event of a winding-up is limited to £1.

The Board of Trustees has the power to appoint any other person as they see as fit to be a member of the Board. Potential future members of the Board of Trustees are reviewed for the skills that they have to offer the Foundation and new members of the Board will be inducted through one-to-one sessions with the Chief Executive and the Chair of the Board.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

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.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation

Opinion

accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We have audited the financial statements of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation (the ‘charitable parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Charity Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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

• give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and parent charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the group’s results for the year then ended;

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 auditor’s report 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.

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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

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

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation (continued)

determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

• the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

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:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 52, the trustees 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 group’s and the parent 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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s 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 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 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.

As part of our audit planning, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the Charity. We gained an understanding of the Charity and the sector in which the Charity operates as part of this assessment to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the Charity. As part of this, we reviewed the Charity’s website for an indication of any regulations in place and discussed these with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance. The key regulations we identified were Charity legislation, health and safety regulations and breaches of The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP - FRS 102.

We discussed with management and trustees how the compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and discussed policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the Charity complies with laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any noncompliance with laws and regulations on the Charity’s ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts.

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations.

Our procedures involved the following:

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable parent company’s trustees, 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 group’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 parent company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation

Notes to the Financial Statements - Year Ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The trustees continue to monitor closely the short-term liquidity of the Trust.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The trustees consider that there are no other material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December 2021

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

No statement of financial activities is presented for the charity as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The charity made a surplus/ (deficit) for the financial year of £271,125 (2020: £127,429).

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved where the charity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Basis of preparation

Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.

Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the group has sufficient working capital to continue to meet its financial obligations and pay its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The trustees have considered the level of funds held, any restrictions on usage, and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from the date of authorising these financial statements.

Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation

Notes to the Financial Statements - Year Ended 31 December 2021 (continued)

Donated services and facilities

Income and endowments

Donated goods and services (excluding volunteer time are included in the financial statements at fair value.

All income is recognised once the Group has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Investment income

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Charitable activities

Details of the material sources of income and the basis on which they have been recognised are set out below.

Charitable activities income derives from the delivery of programmes and events.

The charity recognises revenue from watersports programmes on the date that the activity is delivered.

Donations

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that restrict its use the donation is recognised when the charity becomes entitled to it but reported within a restricted fund.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised as income when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any performance conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Government grants

Raising funds

A grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses already incurred will be recognised in the income and expenditure in the same period in which the related expenditure is incurred.

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

The impact of the outbreak of Coronavirus in the UK is explained in the Trustees’ Report.

Andrew Simpson Foundation - Annual Report & Financial Statements 2021

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Grant expenditure

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as an expense as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the income and expenditure account as shown in note 6.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Amortisation method Asset class and rate

Website development costs 3 year straight line basis Domain name 4 year straight line basis Goodwill 10 year straight line basis

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on other tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Depreciation method Asset class and rate Leasehold buildings 25 year straight line basis Boats and equipment 2 – 5 year straight line basis 3 year straight line basis Office equipment Assets under construction Not depreciated

Notes to the Financial Statements - Year Ended 31 December 2021 (continued)

Fixed asset investments

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

Stock

Stock comprises goods for resale. Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Foreign exchange

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the group. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
