## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 1[st] October 2019 (Period start date) To 30[th] September 2020 (Period end date)** ## **Charity name: Bournemouth Lifeguard Corps** ## **Charity registration number: 1166158** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|**To further the saving of lives, whether by**
**prevention or rescue, for the public**
**benefit.**| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|**The main programmes organised by**
**BLGC include pool and beach training for**
**Rookie, Cadet, Adult and master**
**members, in both lifeguarding and sport**
**lifesaving. The former contributes to the**
**gaining of the appropriate qualifications**
**and the latter to entry to competitions at**
**local, regional, and international levels.**
**At the beginning of this period Trainer**
**and assessors continued to update and**
**achieve appropriate qualifications. Whilst**
**Master, Adults, Cadets and Rookies**
**began to set into the winter training**
**sessions again honing in on lifesaving**
**skills as well as welcoming new members**
**to the Corps sharing such skills.**| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|**The Trustees have considered the**
**relevant guidance on public benefit**
**issued by the Charity Commission when**
**exercising their powers and duties. It was**
**just over four years ago that**
**Bournemouth Lifeguard Corps registered**
**with the Charity Commissioners as a**
**Charitable incorporated Organisation.**
**The elected trustees have met regularly**
**since then both as a separate group and**
**in joint meetings with the Management**
**Committee.**| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
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.|Para 1.20|**Unfortunately due to the impacts of**
**COVID-19 our activities have been mostly**
**limited.**
**As per usual the end of the 2019 year and**
**start of 2020 was very positive. Our pool**
**training programme was strong as well**
**as winter beach training. We had a great**
**attendance in both training areas, and**
**many people continued to develop their**
**lifesaving skills in the water and on dry**
**land.**
**In the height of the summer, we moved to**
**our temporary building at Joseph steps**
**which is planned for our future**
**development. The building requires much**
**improvement however houses fantastic**
**opportunity for the charity to grow and**
**continue its great purpose.**
**The management committee and trustees**
**have approved preliminary designs which**
**have in turn been agreed with BCP**
**council and submitted to local authority**
**planning.**
**Several online and socially distanced**
**“Our Future” sessions were held with the**
**public, our community and similar**
**charitable organisations with**
**representatives from the RNLI, local**
**Police and Coastguard services. Positive**
**support has been received, will all**
**encouraging and supporting the**
**development.**
**Even though the year has been like no**
**other, the future for Bournemouth**
**Lifeguard Corps looks “swell!”**| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|**Fortunately, BLGC’s position financially**
**has not been negatively affected by**
**COVID-19 as costs incurred are usually a**
**direct result of activity. That said we have**
**not been able to complete several safety**
**cover and community events that can**
**come with generous donations.**
**We were fortunate enough to have been**
**awarded £21,885 through the Department**
**for Transports Rescue Boat Fund.**
**Conditions of the grant require 10% of**
**the grant to be covered by the Charity**
**and therefore this is reflected in the**
**accounts. The 10% would have likely**
**been covered by donations from**
**community events that have not been**
**able to take place.**
**In addition, moneys have been spent to**
**obtain planning permission and**
**architectural drawings and design for the**
**charity’s new training centre. This figure**
**being £6,571.**
**As a summary we have really remained**
**stable throughout the period and even**
**though a deficit summarises the**
**accounts, the value is marginal as well as**
**expected given the pandemic and**
**investment in future building.**| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**The Trustees have set the reserves such**
**that BLGC can continue to operate, even**
**when confronted with an unexpected and**
**or abnormal cost, in addition to expected**
**costs. The reserves have been set at**
**£4,500.**| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**At the end of the financial year, 30**
**September 2020, the balance in the**
**current account was £7,485.41 so above**
**the reserve policy.**| |Reasons for holding zero
