The 2019-2020 financial year started well, with plans in place to continue the trusts work with the refurbishment of the principal asset the youth training vessel “Rotary Service”. However, this was further hampered by a continued decline in volunteer availability. Like the previous year, this was affected by the external impact of our volunteers mental and physical health.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The additional effect of the Coronavirus, in early 2020 eventually stopped volunteering entirely, in both a fundraising and refurbishment capacity. During 2019-2020, some significant progress was made in the preparation of the engine room, with a view towards getting this ready for the engines to eventually be installed. Whilst elsewhere within the vessel non-structural steel work in the cabins was removed in order to convert the spaces for the new youth training role.
The Trust also evaluated the condition of the vessels small tender “Y-55”, which was sent to a professional for assessment, with the intent of making the vessel suitable for display at fundraising events, however unfortunately in the opinion of the contractor it was beyond salvage and returned to the trust for disposal later.
A similar style former RNLI tender was procured and used for this purpose at a few fundraising events late in 2019, however due to the impact of Coronavirus on the trust’s funds during 2020, this was once more disposed off to free up funds.
We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
During the year 2019-2020 the Trust has:
-
Continued works on the refurbishment of the vessel:
-
Engine room stripped of main mechanical components from original RNLI fitout.
-
Cabin spaces stripped ready for conversion for youth training role
-
• Attended (limited) public events to promote the trust, engage with the local community and to highlight the maritime heritage of the town, where Coronavirus would allow.
-
The trustees believe that the volunteers have reached the midway point of the refurbishment, where most areas of the youth training vessel are entirely stripped out ready to begin the refitting process.
