Bournemouth Lifeguard Corps: Charity 1166158 Charity Commission Report 2023
On behalf of the Trustees, I want to pass on our huge thanks to everyone in the club who has contributed so much this past year.
A special vote of thanks to our hard-working committee members who always go that extra mile to ensure the club is well positioned not only for today, but also to continue to play a part in the community in years to come.
Fundraising and Events
Our charity wouldn’t be where we are today without the hard work of raising funds and we are indebted to those of you who help with fundraising events, sponsorships and the events that raise the vital funds that allow us to provide opportunities for our members to participate in lifesaving activities.
Lifesaving Training
Training future lifesavers is core to our purpose and each week seeing our trainers imparting skills and knowledge to the Rookies, Cadets and Adults has been amazing. Whether it is rookie learning a personal survival skill, a new IRB crew member or driver to candidate preparing for a beach or pool lifeguard qualification and potentially gaining the grounding for a future career all the trainers have demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm and professionalism for which the club can be very proud.
Youth Development
It isn’t only lifesaving skills that are being developed within the club. The Rookies and Cadets are learning self-confidence, teamwork, discipline and leadership skills that will help throughout their lives.
Competition
Lifesaving sport is unique as sport with a purpose and the club has had an excellent year with participation, and successes, in all the major disciplines including pool (Speeds and Lifesaving) and beach competitions. We will be looking to build participation rates next year so more members can experience the fun and skill development that comes with competing in lifesaving events.
The Future
While 2023 has proven that the club has a fantastic combination of the right people with the talent and passion to succeed it is worth taking a look ahead. The build of new club house will be started and is an 18 month project and we will be looking to make arrangements to continue beach activities over the Summer from temporary facilities. We want to grow participation in lifesaving training and sport. Once our new building is established, we be wanting to maximise the benefits of a facility for members and the broader community.
The Trustees would like to thank everyone from supporters to members and their families who contributed to the life of the club and we look forward to 2024 and seeing the club grow and continue to be a positive part of the community.
