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.

embeds environmental literacy and low-impact activity into every layer of delivery.
Increased impact is achieved through working in partnerships and collaboration with communities,
both nationally and locally.
Our Network - Charity & Not-For-Profit Centres
To realise our vision of Access for All. we established a growing network of Andrew Simpson Centres
(ASCS) across the UK. beginning with our first centre at WPNSA, Portland in May 2014.
AII ASCS deliver our charitable programs and operate as not-for-profits. offering thousands of RYA
and subsidised courses. specialist programmes, and clubs to young people from all backgrounds
welcoming everyone from complete beginners to experienced sailors and athletes.
We also operate through our two subsidiary charities: Sail Training Trust (STT), registered charity (no.

Horizons Plymouth (charity no. 1096256, company no. 04592593) also became a subsidiary charity.
allowing us to expand our delivery in Plymouth.

mentoring. and equipment-chosen based on need and alignment wtth ASF'S values.
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 re￿Iving 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.

Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation
Trustees, Report
Regular Participation Clubs provide year-round structured access to watersports and help parlicipants
feel part of a community and improve mental wellbeing. 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. This programme enables Muslim women to access outdoor water activities
via modest swimwear, women-only sessions, and cultural awareness. This breaks down cultural
barriers to year-round outdoor leisure.
Community Outreach & Club Academies developed by the Andrew Simpson Foundation supports
grassroots aC￿sS to watersports in underserved communities. Our Birmingham Andrew Simpson
Centre is currently delivering a Wavemakers Sailing Academy pilot project in partnership with the
RYA, to build diverse role models and community leaders through consistent outdoor activity. Staff

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 ASF 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 and approved by the Board of Trustees.
When preparing the annual budget, consideration is given to the realistic level of income achievable,
the level of charitable delivery and the minimum expenditure required to run the charity sustainably
and maintain a cash reserve in line with the Charl￿S policy.
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, on the current level
of charitable activity, income, expenditure. and cash position enabling the board to make timely
decisions if so required.
Risk.. An incident or accident occurring
ASF instills a safety first culture and modus operandi throughout its operations. All activities and

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

(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements-

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

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

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

the information given in the and Trustees. Report for the financial year for which the financial

the and the Trustees. Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires

Responsibilities of trustees

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 con￿rn 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.

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 eX￿s$ 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 Un￿rtaIntieS about the group's ability to continue as
a going concern nor any significant areas of Un￿rtaInty 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.

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 re￿iVed 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 re￿1vable 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 reSoUr￿s, 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.

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 reSoUr￿S expended for which it was incurred.

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

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 ServI￿S 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.

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.

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.
