contribution from volunteers who support all functions of
this club. Without the dedicated support of these
volunteers the club would not run or offer activities.

Courses, deliver competitions and support paddlers.

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|During the year the club widened the offer that was made
to paddlers, and ensured that safety training was at the
core of what we offered. This included delivering the new
paddle safer training created by British Canoeing.
As more people take up paddling the club sees itself
having a key role in offering education and basic skills
training to all who might want to start paddling.
To encourage acquisition of basic skills the club funds the
cost of the Discover and Explore Awards for all paddlers.
Our Saturday morning sessions are open to anyone, and
temporary membership is available giving them the
opportunity to access the sessions and try out paddling in
a safe environment.| |---|---| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**|| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Income has remained steady with paddling income down
somewhat from last year, partially due to a loss of paddling
sessions due to poor weather during the winter, and a
decrease in the number of slalom paddlers within the club.
After the large purchases the previous year, less has been
spent on equipment this year and a review of equipment
will be undertaken.
Greater income and expenses have been incurred for pool
sessions, as the freestyle section have started running
their own pool sessions at Clifton pool, releasing spaces
for other paddlers on the Saturday sessions.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|The reserves held have increased slightly from the
previous year and remain suitable for the ambitions of the
club. A proportion of the reserves are held for the
refurbishment of the compound to generate more storage
space.| |Amount of reserves held|**£47147**| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |**Structure, Governance**|**and Management**| |---|---| |Type of governing document|**Constitution**| |How is the charity
