## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|HCUK ran 9, one day regattas across the<br>country as part of our traveller trophy<br>series. We aim to spread them<br>geographically to provide an opportunity for<br>to participate.  There were 68 entrants<br>across the fleets, an increase from 52 last<br>year - 8 Liberty's, 26 303 one-person, 24<br>303 2-person, and 10 2.3's.  The class<br>association is very inclusive and has a<br>good representation of age, gender,<br>culture, and disability participating.<br>HCUK events are open to all, with or<br>without a disability. The 4 fleets mean that<br>people with all sorts of challenges can<br>compete on level terms.  Our sailors have<br>varying degrees of physical disability, with<br>some requiring motors to control the sails<br>and steering to enable them to sail<br>independently.  We cater for deaf and blind<br>sailors, as well as for people with a range<br>of cognitive and neurodivergent conditions.<br>The standard of sailing is also varied with<br>the top end achieving podium positions at<br>International events, and the bottom end<br>being virtual novices.  Our 2-person class<br>also enables those who are unable to sail<br>independently to take part with a buddy.<br>The group are very welcoming and<br>encouraging.  This year we introduced a<br>silver fleet competition for 2nd tier sailors.<br>Most sailors require help in some way with<br>transporting boats, rigging them, getting<br>in/out (some with hoists).  Some clubs<br>provide a team of volunteers to provide<br>this, others provide the support that they<br>need themselves.  HCUK do provide a rig<br>of 6 boats to all events.  This is specifically<br>targeted at those who don’t have access to<br>a boat or the resources to facilitate their<br>participation.  We have fantastic volunteers|





who manage the rig for us.  The wider volunteer community who are involved find their roles rewarding and enjoyable, but a lot of hard work.  All rig boats were booked for every event. The National Championships were held at Whitefriars Sailing Club and attracted 32 entries. This is open to people from other nations and in 2024 we had 2 Dutch sailors and one person from Ireland.  There were 32 entrants.  Between the Traveller series and the National Championships, sailors from 15 different clubs were involved. The class association helps to provide a pathway and inspires sailors to develop and get more involved.  In 2024 there was a well-attended training camp which was run in conjunction with the RYA who largely funded the event and provided a highly regarded performance coach. HCUK support some international events, providing on-water support and coaching. In 2024 the European Championships were in the Netherlands. A team of sailors and volunteers with 2 coaches and 2 RIBs facilitated 18 entrants.  In the Liberty class the UK had a European Champion. A team of 6 are booked to go to the World Championships in March 2025, taking place in Australia, also supported by HCUK.

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|We received £15k in income and spent<br>£17.8k in expenditure meaning our cash<br>position decreased to £73.8k at year end.<br>The decrease in funds is as expected as<br>we drawn down from our Rig Fund over<br>time.|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The intention of the Trustees is to maintain<br>a level of reserves which ensure that HCUK<br>can continue as a going concern and at<br>least maintain their current level of activity<br>for two years.  In addition, the Rig project<br>initiative aims to raise funds to cover all<br>operating costs for its lifetime (currently a<br>target of 10 years).  Reserves are held in a<br>separate Natwest Account|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£4,693  The intention is to restructure our<br>account balances to increase the level of<br>Reserves|

The plan is to replace the Rig via<br>fundraising effort. Without a new rig, we<br>would still run our event schedule but would<br>rely on clubs to provide boats at events.|
