OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objects of the charity are to preserve and save life by the provision and maintenance of an inshore

rescue service along and off the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire and by the promotion to the public of all aspects of water safety.

The main activity of the charity is to fund an independent lifeboat station with a suitable lifeboat in Hornsea, for providing emergency aid to those on the sea and shoreline along the East Yorkshire coast. The service is for the benefit of the general public residing or visiting the East Yorkshire area.

The charity also operates an education centre promoting water safety and awareness of the coastal environment.

Generally the charity supports itself by holding fund-raising events and collecting donations from the general public. Additionally talks and tours of the boathouse are given to local groups and organisations. In doing so the charity hopes to engender support in the future either by donations or by promoting the services and activities on offer.

The charity also combines fundraising with delivery of its charitable objects through its Sea Education Centre for the training of adults and school children.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees have due regard to the guidance provided by the Charities Commission on the public benefit and consider the need for the services outlined above are not only required, but are also greatly valued in the area by residents and visitors to the East Yorkshire coast. The skilled crew work with the Coastguard and received several call outs during the year, resulting in the saving of over twenty lives. Without the lifeboat station in Hornsea, aid would need to be called from much further afield, from lifeboats that would lose valuable time in attending emergency calls. Accordingly the trustees are satisfied they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 (5) Charities Act 2011 with regards to public benefit.

The lifeboat crew have been busier than ever during the year with numerous call outs since the last AGM. Saving many lives with a variety of incidents. From broken down boats to searches for missing persons, children blown out to sea on inflatables, to, sadly, persons in the sea with mental health issues and attempted suicides. The crew are highly trained and give up many hours of their time which includes attending essential courses to meet the standards required of a crew person.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trustees acknowledge the requirement to have a policy on reserves although presently no such policy exists as all income is required to meet day to day operational needs. The Trustees believe the investement in the Sea Safe Education Centre will put the charity in a stronger position to attract greater income in the future through the provision of training services and by receiving more donations from an enahnced profile. At that point a reserves target will be established and funds begun to be set aside to meet it.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Trustees Annual Report

It costs around £55,000 a year to run the organisation with the maintenance of tractors being one of the biggest outgoings along with insurance, fuel and equipment maintenance. It is now in a better financial situation thanks to many individuals and organisations raising hundreds of pounds. Some have raised thousands. The charity has been adopted by a wonderful group ‘HILS’ (Hornsea Inshore Lifeboat Supporters) and the Hornsea Mermaids. They are working all year round raising money in a variety of ways. The support from the local community, as always, has been phenomenal.

This year saw the arrival of our new Atlantic 85 rescue boat — a vital upgrade to our fleet. Fitted with stateof-the-art navigation and communication systems, this vessel significantly enhances our ability to locate and assist casualties quickly, even in the most difficult conditions. We’ve deepened our roots in the Hornsea community this year with several successful events:

Collection cans bring in thousands of pounds every year. Although in an ever-increasing cashless society this has impacted on the charity. Hornsea Boat Launch made just over £30,000.00 for Hornsea Rescue.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity are continually looking at new areas in which emergency aid can be provided in East Yorkshire and further afield and since 2015 the charity have trained and equipped a team to provide emergency flood response services for use as required. The Trustees of Hornsea Rescue continue to review the requirements for the charity to grown in strength as an indespensable emergency service for the East Coast. The Charity is confident that it will continue to grow from strength to strength in the coming years to not only secure a modern and practical lifeboat station but also a centre of excellence in sea safety and flood response and management.

The charity is hoping to develop the rooftop at the boat launch into a usable roof terrace at Boat Launch has been working away on this with a super gentlemen called Anthony Marjerison, who is a structural engineer and has worked relentlessly providing technical information and images of the of the proposed building along with architect Fahed Mohammed. So far, all being provided free of charge. Developing the rooftop will provide the charity with a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding coastline. General day to day use of the terrace is expanding at the current coffee shop and seating areas and this development would provide a well known location that will inevitably lead to additional usage. Additional jobs and roles will also be created. Relationships with local education establishments will be enhanced using the rooftop to deliver educational programmes. The addition of the rooftop terrace will improve the footfall in the southern area of the promenade. Furthermore, it will increase awareness of the boat launch and our lifeboat station and visitor’s centre. In summary, the benefits to the local community would be profound to Hornsea, with a secondary benefit of raising additional funding for Hornsea Inshore Rescue. Of course, we need the support of East Riding Council and funding.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is controlled by it's Memorandum and Articles of Association that constitutes an Incorporated Charity.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Trustees Annual Report

Since 2015, the Executive Committee has researched and initiated new policies regarding the appointment of new committee members and is receiving specialist guidance in this area. Likely candidates are now required to attend no less than four executive committee meetings as consultants, without voting rights, before being invited to join the committee . All committee members are now receiving training in their obligations, rights and responsibilities as charity trustees and new committee will go through similar training as part of their induction process.

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

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Page 11

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

useful life:
Leasehold property 4% Straight line
Fixtures and fittings 20% Straight line
Motor vehicles 10% Straight line
Equipment for boat and crew 20% Straight line

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Page 12

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Notes to the Accounts

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Page 13

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Notes to the Accounts

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
