**TURN TO STARBOARD** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

We have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and planning future activities. Turn to Starboard has now widened its activities to include NHS frontline workers and Emergency Services staff. 

Turn to Starboard uses Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sailing courses to support Armed Forces personnel (serving and retired) affected by military operations using the established therapeutic effects of sailing and the sea. The focus is on resettlement, reintegration, reinforcing a sense of value and belonging while ensuring that the true friendship that Service personnel know, continues long after their Service career. We provide tangible experiences, expert training, and career building opportunities all in a supportive and unique environment. Individuals who sail with us can also develop their skills to gain internationally recognised sailing qualifications. We do not offer therapy or undertake treatment of any kind and our mission remains to deliver restorative sailing experiences and training courses while supporting beneficiaries in a unique environment. Based at Falmouth Marina in Cornwall, we offer RYA Competent Crew, Day Skipper, and RYA Yachtmaster courses at no cost to our beneficiaries. We also provide family sailing trip opportunities for Service families affected by military Service to help them re-engage and spend quality time together. Sail training takes place on modern yachts, plus we also have our own Tall Ship, a 92ft Merseyside Pilot Schooner 'Spirit of Falmouth' which gives beneficiaries the chance to sail on longer voyages and learn traditional sailing techniques. This vessel also provides us with a facility for corporate engagement and promotion. We also provide support to NHS workers and Frontline Emergency Services Staff. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

2023 has been a year of transition with Shaun Pascoe stepping back from the CEO position and Sally Terry stepping into the role in June. Shaun has moved to a Founder & Ambassador role and is still very much a part of the charity. The team has grown to 12 with five in the Shore Team, six Skippers and one Chief Engineer. The growth in the Skipper Team was due to the charity running the pilot of the Skipper Scholarship Scheme which has involved some very intensive sail training for those veterans wishing to make a career out of sailing. Several of those who went through the Skipper Scheme are already working in the maritime industry and forging new careers. Being able to offer this kind of Career Development to our beneficiaries has opened up new innovative possibilities for the charity but also potential new avenues for funding. 

During this period, the charity has sailed more veterans than ever and qualified more Yachtmasters than ever whilst also fulfilling its commercial duties which in turn provide much needed funds to support its core operational activities. The complexities of sailing more veterans on more boats has also necessitated the introduction of some robust operational systems and processes which the team have embraced and implemented seamlessly. 

Financially, it has been a strong year although raising funds remains a constant challenge especially with many of the military charities reducing or withdrawing their grant funding. It is clear that the fundraising landscape is changing but the charity has anticipated this and is already exploring and putting into place strategies to mitigate this threat. 

In conclusion, the future for Turn to Starboard looks very positive and whilst we would always wish that we were not needed, it is our commitment to the veteran community that we will endure. 

The Trustees would like to offer our sincere gratitude to all of the charity's supporters, both new and existing, who make it possible for us to do what we do. In addition, we extend our thanks to all of the charity's employees and volunteers whose selflessness and resilience has enabled the charity to continue its activities despite some challenging circumstances. In particular we would like to acknowledge the determination and commitment of Shaun Pascoe in setting up Turn to Starboard in the first place. His visionary idea remains unique in the UK and he has put in place a team who share his passion for supporting those brave men and women who have given so much.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023** 

Demand for our services is greater than ever, yet we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback and witness both life changing and life saving outcomes for beneficiaries. The personal stories of those we support are profound and compelling, but it is clear to us that sailing continues to provide an ideal way for beneficiaries to experience the therapeutic effects of the sea. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## Financial review 

The charity has a target to hold free reserves, which are general funds of the charity that are not designated or represented by fixed assets, equivalent to six months general running costs. 

Free reserves at 30 September 2023 are negative £16,050 and fall short of this target, however there is a current focus on fundraising to meet this target, whilst balancing this carefully with the need to spend to ensure the current demand of those we support is met. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity's governing document is its memorandum and articles of association dated 19 August, 2014. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The recruitment of Trustees is undertaken by the board of Trustees. They will recruit a person who is willing to act as a trustee and has an interest in the activities and ultimate success of the charity. The charity may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to act as director.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TURN TO STARBOARD** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Turn to Starboard ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
