## **Trustees Annual report for period : 1st October 2023 - 30 Sep 2024** ## **Enterprise Sailing (Charity no 1167252) – A Charitable Incorporated Organisation** ## **Purposes of the Charity:** 1 Provide grants to schools and youth groups to allow under-privileged children to learn to sail dinghies within Birmingham and to then progress to off-shore yachting adventures in the future; - 2 A pathway to employment as sailing coaches in the future; 3 Uses sailing as a means of bringing young people together from different communities within Birmingham to aid community cohesion. Through the medium of sail training, it aims to introduce young people from different backgrounds, who are sometimes schooled within monocultures, to the great diversity that the region (and the country) has to offer. By removing young people from their immediate environment and placing them in a physically challenging environment where people from all backgrounds are equally bewildered, Sail Training provides a context where lasting friendships across communities are forged, where cross cultural understanding is encouraged and where the fear of the "other" is broken down. Some of the participants will become life-long sailors – a pastime which involves a commitment to the discipline and joy of life-long learning. The charity aims to give all participants an experience that will help them develop into adults who are more empathetic, more tolerant of difference, more emotionally intelligent and less susceptible to radicalisation (in all its forms) than they might otherwise be. ## **Summary of Activities & Achievements for this reporting period relating to our charitable aims:** ## **Implementing our New Operating Model** 2024 was the year the Trust adopted the model of becoming a non-licenced provider of sailing. In keeping with our work to date we have never charged for sailing, but we now take on the responsibility of being the provider, removing any liability from a school or other partner group to “own” or share the responsibility for the activities we put on for their young people. This has meant our Board both purchasing appropriate insurance to cover all the liabilities of our activities and to act as the scrutineer of our risk assessments and practices. We have continued to that in conversation with the RYA to whom we extend our thanks. ## **Norfolk Broads Sailing** The reduction in adventurous outdoor activity and secondary school residential activities in general continued to present us with challenges. This year again we had schools keen to participate with headteachers and young people enthusiastic but staff not willing to give up their time. We were grateful to the support we received from Ninestiles and Ark Kings Academies and with others dropping out we benefitted from Hodge Hill College joining us for the first time. The benefit of our new status does allow us to take children without necessarily having a staff member from the school which is helpful, but diminishes the impact of the week being carried back into school life. In many ways the cruise of 24 was one of the best! We had fantastic weather with warm dry conditions and a good amount of wind! There was never a dull session, indeed this year’s wind did lead to some moments of excessive excitement! Happily all were kept safe and, though exhausting, we enjoyed a wonderful group of young people who got lots form the week. We were also very grateful for the work of three eighteen year old volunteers on their way to university, who formed an excellent bridge between the children and older volunteers. While we know the sailing works one of the aspects of the cruise that has always needed improving is the structure of evening activities and, thanks to the help of our Norfolk (local) expert volunteers, this has improved with a pattern now of mooring sites linked to playing fields and spaces where we can provide organised sport and play in the evenings. Once again the benefit and impact on individual children is reported back to us through the year, with some most encouraging illustrations of how the positive affirmative and confidence building work of the cruise bears fruit in the lives of maturing young people. The Trustees have carried out their duties during this period with full regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance regarding public benefit. ## **Trustees:** Timothy Boyes Chair Gillian Cloke Treasurer Andrew Faux Kate Squires ## **Registered Address:** Enterprise Sailing – 106 Arden Road Acocks Green Birmingham B27 6AG Signed: T J Boyes (Chair) Date: 19/6/25 |||**Charity Name**|||||**No (if any)**|**No (if any)**||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**Enterprise Sailing**|||||**1167252**|||| |||Period end date
