## **Registered Charity 1159243** ## _**East Anglian Sailing Trust**_ Patron: Captain Nigel Palmer OBE – President: William Smith MBE ## **Trustees’ Report** The Trustees of EAST present their report for the year ended 31st October 2023 ## **Introduction** East Anglian Sailing Trust (EAST) is a registered **C** haritable **I** ncorporated **O** rganisation with the aim of providing regular opportunities to young people and adults with a wide range of disabilities, their families, and carers, to participate in sailing and other related social activities. EAST is run entirely by unpaid volunteers and operates from its Waterside Community Centre at Suffolk Yacht Harbour on the River Orwell between Ipswich & Felixstowe. ## **Organisation** The Trustees of the Charity are listed at the end of the report. The two sections of the charity, VI Yacht Cruising and Keelboat Sailing, run their activities under different operating procedures, necessary due to the differing nature of their activities, however they are brought together with a common purpose to provide Adults and Young People, disadvantaged by a wide range of disabilities to experience the benefits and Joys of sailing at an affordable cost. Following the continuing reduction of Covid restrictions applicable to public gatherings the Trustees agreed to dispense with the Virtual AGM facilitated by Zoom during the previous two years and to reinstate AGM to public meeting status. The AGM returned to our Waterside Community Centre premises and was well supported by members sailors and volunteers. Our regular EAST Newsletter “Points EAST” continues under the editor together and this with the EAST Website is now regularly updated with all aspects and activities of the charity keeps members informed during the year and made possible by the efforts and dedication of regular volunteers who give their time and expertise to take our disadvantaged members afloat. During the year a significant milestone was achieved as the charity celebrated 30 years of sailing for people with vision impairment and other disabilities. ## **Sailing Activity** ## **Keelboat Sailing Section** 2023 has seen a significant increase in reliable committed and competent keelboat volunteers and this has enabled more regular weekly sessions to be run for both junior and adult sailors, consequently more attention can be given to ensure sailors needs are recognised to enhance their experience before, during and after each session. New volunteers are encouraged to make maximum use of the training facilities available to EAST members as an **RYA Recognised Training Centre** and to consider upgrading their sailing qualifications for the benefit of our disadvantaged sailors. Additional Sessions introduced during Saturday morning and afternoon last year, were continued to encourage more family members to participate regularly, additional sessions were also introduced midweek to enable more regular groups to take advantage of the facilities available. During August a number of East Keelboat Volunteers provided Safety Boat Support for the 60[th] anniversary of the UK Old Gaffers Sailing Association which saw various categories of Gaff Rigged craft converging on Suffolk Yacht Harbour for a very Wet, Windy but enjoyable social weekend culminating in the magnificent sight over 100 boats sailing down to Levington from the Orwell Bridge, this resulted in substantial donation to help with the regular running costs of EAST. ## **VI Cruising Section** The VI Cruising section has enjoyed a successful year in 2023 having been able to provide a full cruising program for the year. The cruising dates and statistics are as detailed below: ## **May 2023 Taster Cruise 12th - 14th** 8 Yachts with 10 V I crew. This provided 20 sailing days for visually impaired people, and was confined to the Rivers Stour and Orwell for new sailors. ## **June 2nd - 5th Cruise 2023** 9 Yachts with 12 VI Crew. Plan A was to sail down to the River Blackwater and on to Brightlingsea providing 36 sailing days for visually impaired people sailing from Suffolk Yacht Harbour, unfortunately the weather prevented the planned sail to, but an alternative was substituted in local waters and was enjoyed by all. ## **September 7th to 16th 2023** 8 yachts with 9 V I crew, providing 63 sailing days to EAST visually impaired sailors, during this 9-night cruise, various East coast locations were visited including Brightlingsea, Bradwell- on- Sea, Queenborough, Chatham and Shotley. Our total sailing days for visually impaired people on the formal EAST VI Cruises were 119 days. In addition to these cruising days there were also several trial sails for both sighted and visually impaired crew. These trial sails are designed to ascertain whether individuals wish to join future formal cruising events with EAST. All cruising boats are privately owned and are not owned by EAST, but we as a charity do provide some equipment to enhance the experience by visually impaired people when they come sailing with EAST. In the September 2022 cruise we were unable to offer some VI sailors a place due to insufficient volunteer yachts. So, in 2023 we were successful in securing external funding from The Worshipful Company of Insurers (City of London), who covered the cost of a charter yacht for the week. Audio compass development is carrying on from the work in 2022. We had some new audio compass units built, but it seems that technical limitations of the equipment are currently falling short of what is required in response time to change of yacht direction. So the committee are currently working on how to resolve this problem both with the existing equipment and other audio compass sources. The VI Cruising Committee is proactively working on the schedule for 2024 and our looking forward to another successful year. The proposed dates are:- May 17th - 20th 2024 June 7th - 9th 2024 September 13th - 21st 2024 ## **Simon Daws** Chairman EAST VI Cruising Committee ## **Premises** Our premises at EAST Waterside Community Centre have again been key to maintaining a base for the essential work of the charity during the year. Regular weekly maintenance sessions have continued during the year together with additional Social Activities. The external canopy installed last year at the front of the building has enabled activities to continue and this has enhanced the area providing additional weather protection against the elements throughout the year. ## **Funding** Membership fees were increased from £30 to £35 per year for adults but £5 fee for Junior members was not increased and remains the same for the time being. There has been a slight increase in the total number of members during the year. Some of our regular funders have maintained their grants this year to help ensure we were able to re-start operations, and we have received several legacy donations from families of some of our sadly departed members. However, it is important to recognise that our fixed costs for premises such as rent, insurance and berthing fees remain at around £25,000 per year and are likely to increase due to forces beyond our control. Suffolk Yacht Harbour have again been particularly generous and helpful in reducing some expected boat movement and workshop charges. A small team of volunteers has been established to look at ways to increase our fundraising in the light of changing circumstances being experienced by many UK charities at present. ## **Accounts** The accounts for the year ended 31st October are attached and indicate that the charity is still in a comfortable financial position to ensure we can continue in the foreseeable future as a going concern. However, as mentioned previously it is expected that funding opportunities will become more difficult to obtain in the future as business returns to a more normal pattern. ## **Trustees** At the AGM in February, all existing Trustees put their names forward to continue in their role and were duly elected unopposed. Listed below are the people serving as Trustees during 2023 Allistair Renton Geoffrey Dreher Jim Jenner Robert Parker Jonathan DykeJohn Maxwell Peter Hudson Tom Clayton In accordance with the CIO Constitution, Peter Hudson, Robert Parker, Johnathan Dyke and Tom Clayton will be retiring at the forthcoming AGM and have indicated their willingness to stand for re-election.

The Trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102. 12.2 Movements in Restricted funds during the PRIOR reporting period Update Bulletin 1" not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements have been prepared in Sterling under the historical cost convention, and rounded to the nearest pound. ## **1.2 Going Concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the Trust's objectives. Restricted funds comprise unexpensed donations, where the money was given for restricted purposes. Designated funds represent money earmarked by the trustees for replacement of our fleet of boats. Income is recognised when the Trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. Cash donations, legacies and income tax recoverable under Gift Aid are recognised on receipt. ## **1.5 Resources expended** Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. Irrecoverable VAT is included as part of the associated cost. ## **1.6 Fixed asset investments** These are measured at cost, less an allowance for depreciation, based on their expected useful life. ## **1.7 Volunteer help** No attempt has been made to quantify the value of the volunteer help the Trust has received, and without which it could not function.
