Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Trustees, Report Foreword from our Chair of Trustees 2024 marked the completion of our tenth full year of charitable activity and the Trustees are delighted to report on another exciting year of continued development and growth despite a challenging fundraising environment. In 2024, the Andrew Simpson Foundation worked with over 45.000 beneficiaries and grew our expenditure on charitable activities by 140/0 once again extending the breadth of our charitable programs and geographic reach across the UK through our five Andrew Simpson Centres. subsidiary charities and ten partner centres. Developing and implementing collaborative working has continued to be a major theme during 2024, and it has been fantastic to see the launch of major new programs during the year with a number of our key partners including the Royal Yachting Association, Royal Naval Sailing Association and Greenwich Hospital these enable us to deliver to new communities and grow our outputs. 11 is crystal clear that collaborative working is key to maxirnising charitable impact - and 2024 saw many practical examples of this in practice. This included exlending our operations to the Plymouth area where we welcomed a new subsidiary charity. Horizons Plymouth. to join the Foundalion in June 2024. Elsewhere. our Birmingham Centre is a great example of the benefits of parlnering a diverse range of initiatives and organisations with an Andrew Simpson Centre the Centre generates a constanl stream of projects and opportunities to serve a diverse community that typically has little historical connection to, or experience of, the benefits of our sector for young people. 2024 has once again shown that sailing and watersports do provide a powerful mechanism to change the lives of young people and reaffimed that the benefits of time on the water should be accessible to everyone. The Foundation continues to be fully committed to removing barriers and developing and delivering programmes so that all young people and communities can benefit from the opportunities that we offer. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and congratulations once again to the brilliant Foundation and Centre teams, led by our exceptional CEO Richard Percy. and to all of our partners, funders, supporters and volunteers, including of course my fellow Trustees - for another year of outstanding achievement in 2024. We look ahead with continued ambition to expand our charitable reach. strengthen our partnerships, and deepen the long-term impact we have on young lives and their communities in Andrew's name.

Our Action- key priorities and why we do what we do 1. Community Health and Wellbeing Providing year-round access to outdoor leisure and physical activity Physical health and wellbeing: ASF'S mission is to "transform lives through sailing, improving health and wellbeing through watersports. Strong eviden is cited that sailing contribules to mental and physical health, social connection, reduced crime, and increased confidence. Only 47% of young people meet minimum physical activity levels according to Sport England. ASF programming directly addresses this gap by delivering a vast array of physical health & wellbeing initiatives. Targeted programmes focus on physical and mental health" neurodiversity and SEND,. looked after children- and children reIving emotional literacy support. ASF also conducts world-leading research into the health benefits of sailing and the barriers to participation. working wilh institutions such as the University College London and Universities of Exeter and Bournemouth. Findings inform programme design, enhance inclusion. and are shared widely to influence and support broader participation efforls. 730/0 of young people in our community programmes reported increased confidence. Additional case studies highlight children overcoming fear of water and making lasting memories that positively impact wellbeing. Access and Participation: ASF removes financial, social, and cultural barriers to ensure year-round access to watersports. Activities include school sailing programmes, regular clubs (e.g., Sailing Club, Race Club, Windsurfing), community family days and SEND open days and emphasis on inclusive, outdoor physical activity that builds confidence and social skills.

Participants last year reported an 85/0 increase in mental wellbeing, 114% improvement in emotional regulation and a 73% increase in confidence. Sunnah Sundays at our Birmingham Andrew Simpson Centre is an example of inclusion through Outdoor Access.

Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation (Ihe 'charitable parent companl) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024. which comprise the Consolidaled Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balan Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Siatements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion the financial statements- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and parent charity's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources. including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended" have been properly prepared in accordan with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 responsibilities for the audil 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 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 We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAS (UK) require us lo report to you where: the trustees use of the going conrn basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate- or the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Other infomiation 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.

Page 17
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial slatements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude thal 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 matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the and Trustees. Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements,. and the and Trustees, Report have been prepared in accordan 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 the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or certain disclosures of trustees muneratIon specified by law are not made., or we have not reiVed all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Ststement of trustees, responsibilities (set out on page 16), 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 intemal 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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going conrn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 18
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Auditor 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 accordan 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 tsken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 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 Charitys 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 artse. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the Charitys 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.. Enquiries of management and trustees regarding their knowledge of any non-compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements. As part of these enquiries. we also discussed with management whether there have been any known instances. allegations or suspicions of fraud. Reviewed filings with the Charity Commission and whether there were any serious incident reports made during the year. Discussed with management whether any reportable health and safety incidents occurred under the requirements of RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) during the year. Reviewed minutes of the Health and Safety Committee. Page 19
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Review of the GDPR policy and enquiries to management as to the occurrence of any reportable breaches. Reviewed legal and professional costs to identify any possible non-complian or legal costs in respect of non-compliance. Reviewed Board minutes. Audited the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the nomal course of business. Audited the risk of fraud in revenue recognition, including substanlive testing and analytical review. Reviewed estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate omissions. collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable parent 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 group's members 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 members 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 2024 1 Charity status The charity islimited by guarantee. and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 2 Accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statemenls are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordan with Accounting and Reporling by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practi (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Basis of preparation Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December 2024. No statement of financial activities is presented for the charity as pemiitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The charity made a surplus for the financial year of £134.933 {2023 - deficit of £61,991) Page 26
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 December 2024 A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved where the charity has the power to govern Ihe financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from ils activities. The resulls of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of financial activities from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any eXs$ of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill. In the case of a combination which is in Substan a gift to the parent charity (where the consideration paid is nil or a nominal amount and is less than the net assets acquired) the parent charity has made a gain. The parent charity recognises that gain as 'other income. in the consolidated SOFA, rather than treat it as negative goodwill on consolidation. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions beiween the charity and its subsidiaries, which are related parties. are eliminated in full. Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impaimient that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed Whe necessary to ensure consislency wilh the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group's equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Going concem The trustees consider that there are no material UnrtaIntieS about the group's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of UnrtaInty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the group. Income and endowments All income is recognised On the charity 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. Page 27
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 December 2024 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 require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Grants receivable Grants are recognised when the group has an entitlement to the funds and any condilions 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. Deferred income Deferred income represents amounts reiVed for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which. it has been received. Such income is only deferred when- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods- or The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. Donated services and facilities Donated goods and services (excluding volunteer time) are included in the financial statements at fair value. Investment income Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re1vable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity- this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. 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 reSoUrs, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocaled on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Raising funds These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income. the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Page 28
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 December 2024 Charitable activities Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of ils activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those cosls of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Grant pmvisions Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. Governance costs These include the costs attributable to the charitrfs compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. Irrecoverable VAT Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of reSoUrS expended for which it was incurred. 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. Goodwill Goodwill is amortised over its useful life. which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made. Intangible assets Intangible assets are stated in the Balan 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= Asset class Goodwill Domain name Website development costs Amortisation method and rate 10-year straight line basis 4-year straight line basis 3-year straight line basis Tangible fixed assets Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost. Page 29
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 December 2024 Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on 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.. Asset class Leasehold buildings Boats and equipment Office equipment Depreciation method and rate 25-year straight line basis 2-5-year straight line basis 3-year straight line basis Fixed asset investments Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling pri 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) basis. Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or ServIS performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction pri. 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 ternis of the receivables. 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. Page 30
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 December 2024 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 e1ve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least e1ve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction pri and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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 balan sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date. The results of overseas operations are translated at the average rates of exchange during the period and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balan sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation of the opening net assets and results of overseas operations are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriatel. Fund structure Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtheran of the objectives of the group. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 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. Pensions and other post retirement obligations The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. Page 31
Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 December 2024 Financial instruments Classification Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the Substan of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instwment is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Recognition and measurement All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is nomially the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the group intends either to settle on a net basis. or to realise the asset and settie the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the group transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the group, despite having retained some, bul not all. significant risks and rewards of ownership. has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. Investments Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impaimient. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifw'ng for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. Fair value measurement The best evidence of fair value is a quoted pri for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, Ihe price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time Sin the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. Page 32
