Children's Sailing Trust Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st October 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st October 2021. 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).
Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act and have had due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in setting the activities required to meet its objectives.
I am incredibly proud of what the Children’s Sailing Trust has achieved this year and feel fortunate to be a part of this exciting next chapter.
Our charities aims and objects remain the advancement and education of children and young people by providing sailing and watersports facilities and opportunities that develop their physical, mental, and spiritual capacities. We do this so that these children may grow as confident individuals and members of their community.
It was wonderful to see the return of young sailors to the Helford River after recent disruption and I’m proud of the team for their agile approach to making this happen. 2021 saw us operate a slightly reduced programme, working with a total of 415 local pupils from more than 20 schools who took to the water, reaching an impressive 5,688 hours of subsidised activities.
Over the years I have been privileged to witness the hugely positive effects that our work has had on young people. This year has been no different. Feedback from parents, teachers, and pupils themselves tells us that the impact on children's well-being has been supercharged after the recent challenges of lockdowns. The Children's Sailing Trust's new accessible watersports and accommodation offering at Trevassack Lake on the Lizard Peninsula is already proving popular with the our communities and visitors alike. I offer my sincere thanks to Simon Osborne, our first CEO, who left in the summer with our gratitude for his achievements with the development and in building a reliable and professional team. Jakie Jewell was appointed to the role during the year, and we would like to thank Jakie for her hard work, hitting the ground running with determination to tackle the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 alongside a growing organisation. We are also all particularly grateful to outgoing trustees Charles Richardson and Jonathan Thornton whose vision and commitment have both made significant and lasting contributions to the charity. On behalf of the trustee team, I would like to thank the individuals, businesses, grant-givers and fundraisers for their dedication and support in helping our charity to reach an impressive milestone of 24 years.

“Kate is adopted and comes from a background of childhood trauma and neglect. This has had a huge impact on her self-esteem, confidence, and ability to form meaningful relationships with her peers and adults. She also suffers from high levels of anxiety, which prevents her from trying new things. She was initially very reluctant to do the sailing course because it was with a group she didn’t know, doing an activity she had never done before. We encouraged her to take part and much to her and our surprise she loved it!
She has been very proud of the new skills she’s learnt and has really enjoyed getting to know some new people in a structured and safe environment. She has said that doing the sailing helps her manage the anxiety she has felt in school and gives her time to “decompress”. She feels calmer at home afterwards. Making new friends and being told she is good at a new activity has boosted her self-confidence, and this is starting to translate into her everyday life. She has loved the teamwork and camaraderie on the course and would certainly like to continue on her sailing journey.” - Local Parent, 2021

Reserves policy
The trustees’ Reserves Policy is to build an Unrestricted Reserves of £169,000 to £185,000 which is equal to six months charitable sailing activity.
While we expect this to take several years, it will ensure the Charity is in a strong position and able to commit to a full programme of activity in March of each year.
The trustees are at liberty to invest the charity’s unrestricted reserves as they see fit, within the guidelines set out by the Charity Commission.
Going concern
The Trevassack site experienced a soft opening towards the end of the financial year, which was delayed from the original intended opening date due to Covid 2019, and then opened more fully in the Spring of 2022. As with any new going concern there have been challenges surrounding the costs of running the site at Trevassack which the Trustees and Executive are currently reviewing. The intentions are to maximise the use of the site going forwards, in an affordable way to ensure we are fulfilling our charitable objectives a efficiently as possible.
Future Strategic Planning
Children’s Sailing Trust has put a robust plan in place and intends to maximise its charitable sailing programmes going forward, while making use of sailing instructors time during the busy holiday periods to deliver profitable commercial sailing programmes to help support the charities work.
CST’s facilities at Trevassack Lake complement and extend our work on the Helford River, further increasing the numbers of children we can support. With a particular focus on creating opportunities for those with physical disabilities and special educational needs to experience watersports for themselves. We see great potential in growing the number of participants we reach, while also working with national charities to secure funding so that families of those with physical disabilities can come and holiday and take part in leisure activities with us. It is our vision, that in time, these facilities will help increasing the financial sustainability of the charity.
2021 has seen the Charity continue to be agile and nimble while it works hard to return to its pre-pandemic level of activity while launching its new facility, and all the investment of resources this has entailed. We have hired the services of a seasoned consultant to work with the board of trustees to produce a 5-year strategic review of our work which will include -
·Stakeholders’ consultation ·Short/Medium & Long Term priorities ·5-year action plan ·Key risks and dependencies
This will help inform a full ·Fundraising Strategy ·Theory of Change ·Accommodation strategy ·Use of Trevassack Lake strategy ·Cost control strategy
We recognise the challenges facing us over Winter 2022, due to the late opening of our lake facilities and reduced commercial activities but have plans in place to shore up our reserves. Page 7
Structure, Governance & Management Governing document The CIO is governed according to the Constitution dated 10 August 2015 and registered with the Charity Commission on 2 February 2016. Recruitment and appointment of new trustees The CIO is administered by its trustees. New trustees are appointed by the existing board of trustees, normally for a term of at least five years, by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience for the effective administration of the CIO. We would like to record our thanks to outgoing trustees Charles Richardson, Jonathan Thornton and Peter Dixon, for their commitment and time over many years, and whose vision has made significant and lasting contributions to the charity. There are currently nine trustees, three ofwhom work togetherwith the Chief Executive as a Management Committee, each having specific responsibilities, meeti ng as necessary during the year. The Management Committee is currently Martin Barlow, Anthony Holden and Coralie Green. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits. There is a Child Protection Policy in place and Disclosure and Barring Service IDBSI checks are carried out on each employees, trustees and volunteers who have direct contact with the children and young people participating in our activities. Risk management Personnel & Staffing update The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. In March 2021 several activity staff were transferred to the Charity's tradi ng subsidiary CST Tradi ng CIC. An agreement is in place for the Charity to buy back the services of the activity and accommodation staff in order to deliver its charitable activities. The trustees delegate operational responsibility to the Chief Executive to recruit and train instructors who are contracted to be on the waterfor every teaching session. The instructors, led by the Chief Saili ng Instructor, are responsible for supervising each session and for ensuring a continuous risk analysis is conducted throughout each session.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILDREN'S SAILING TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Children's Sailing Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 October 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 October 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 10
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILDREN'S SAILING TRUST
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to financial compliance (for example in relation to taxation, company and charity law), relevant regulatory standards for the sector in which the charity operates, employment matters and other relevant laws and regulations.
We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:
-
We made enquiries of the trustees and management in relation to any non-compliance of laws and regulations, potential litigation and claims or any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
We considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls.
-
We considered the risk of fraud through revenue recognition.
Based on the results of our risk assessment, we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud, as follows:
-
Legal fees were reviewed to identify any potential non-compliance of laws and regulations.
-
We reviewed the minutes of trustee meetings to identify matters relevant to our audit.
-
We reviewed material manual journal entries for evidence of management override or fraud.
-
We tested specific instances of grant income for the correct application of the revenue recognition rules.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILDREN'S SAILING TRUST
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
Income
Income from donations and grants is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grants, including government grants, is recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met the income is recognised as a liability and included in the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Donated fixed assets are also recognised once the Charity has entitlement to them, it is probable they will be received and their value can be reliably measured. Valuation of assets is provided by the trustees. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Income from trading activities including holiday courses is recognised on the basis of when the service is delivered.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Where costs cannot be attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources and staff time as follows:
Raising donations 17% (2020: 33%) On the water 38% (2020: 36%) Trevassack Lake 45% (2020: 31%)
Comparative figures
Certain SoFA transactions in the comparative figures have been re-analysed to give rise to a consistent treatment with the current year. There is no impact on the previously reported totals for income, expenditure or the surplus or deficit for the year.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - not depreciated Plant and machinery - 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost and 10% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
