FRIENDS OF THE VIGILANCE CIO 

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2024. 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To advance the preservation and conservation of the Brixham based heritage sailing trawler "Vigilance BM76" for the public benefit and, 

To advance education for the public benefit in the subject of Vigilance BM76, sail trawlers and the social, industrial, and sailing heritage and history associated with this. 

## **Significant activities** 

Fund raising by the Fundraising team and social committee of Friends of the Vigilance to provide ongoing finance for the purposes of restoration and conservation of the vessel Vigilance BM76. 

Work had begun to repair Vigilance 'to the waterline', in January 2023, funded by a grant of £820,000 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, and Vigilance funds of £145,000. It rapidly became clear that structural deterioration meant the waterline limitation was inappropriate, and efforts began to secure funds to continue to deck level. At the end of November the NHMF agreed to extend our grant to £1,120,000 to enable work to continue to deck level. Further funds would be required to complete replacement of the deck and repairs to upperworks, and at the year end an application was made to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for a further £250,000 to complete this work. This application was approved in June 2024. 

## **Public benefit** 

All Trustees have had regard and have also received the guidance notes issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## **Grantmaking** 

All decisions on possible grants/donations have been taken at a full meeting of the Trustees. 

## **Volunteers** 

All Trustees and Members are willing volunteers and continue to give of their time without any remuneration. It is also commendable that the contributions of volunteers have continued to be significant throughout the time since Vigilance left Brixham for works to be undertaken. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

While the majority of financial movement, in and out, has related to the major works under way, other minor income streams have remained steady including retail income from trading Vigilance and her brand. 

Donations in this period to "Vigilance BM76" have included receipt of pledges to be used for general purposes 'safety net' and has continued to support the necessary 'partnership' funding required by the NHMF. The Fundraising strategy continues to adapt over time to maximise our efforts and respond to changing circumstances. 

Trustees have continued to be proactive in this period in encouraging and recruiting and training new volunteers with the requisite skills to further achieve our Aims and Objectives. 

Much effort has been given towards improving our structure / organisation with regard to our future aspirations and for the benefit of all our members and for the people of Brixham and Torbay. The trustees are investigating possible collaborations with other charities and sailing based organisations, for example by having regular co-operation meetings with Pilgrim BM45. 

General objectives were set in the period towards possible avenues of grant funding and NHMF project targets. Our fundraising strategy was adapted to reflect new project targets, in particular in adjusting to the revised work programme, and to secure funds to complete deck replacement.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The increase in the NHMF award of £300,000 was a major achievement, and other, smaller, successes were also achieved during this period. Further funds were secured in June 2024, in the form of a grant of £250,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and donations from local individuals amounting to around £34,000 to date, enabling deck replacement to proceed. 

## **Investment performance** 

The majority of charity funds are required to meet our share of Phase 1 and 2 repairs. Further fundraising is under way to secure the funds needed to complete deck replacement before Vigilance returns to Brixham. 

## **Internal and external factors** 

The charity's main commercial asset will not be fully operational without further major sponsors to support the balance of Phase 1 & Phase 2 repair work, during 2023/24/25. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

At the end of this period of operation the Charity's financial position is considered to be satisfactory. With the increase in funding for the NHMF-funded works, major expenditure is proceeding to plan, and at the end of the financial year measures were well advanced to secure the finds to complete works to the deck and above. Budget has been amended to deal with increases in labour rates and material costs reported previously, and the revised work plan to deck level was on target. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

In this period of the CIO sources of income have continued to originate from fund raising activities in the local community, open to all members and the general public. 

Also specific pledges have been received resulting from successful funding applications. 

Income related to Torbay Lottery and use of Virgin Money Giving & Just Giving in conjunctions with events was also received. 

Trading income is now one of the charities main streams. 

The main funding success during the year was extension of the NHMF award. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have agreed that a prudent reserve to cover any unforeseen contingencies of at least £10,000 should be maintained in the Bank Accounts of the CIO. 

## **Going concern** 

At the end of the year under report, funds had been secured to enable the revised programme of works to deck level to proceed. Further funding is needed to enable works to the deck and above to be completed, with decisions on applications expected in the first two months of the new financial year. Efforts to raise charitable funds from individuals to support this were also under way. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRIENDS OF THE VIGILANCE CIO 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Friends of the Vigilance CIO** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of the Vigilance CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 30 April 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set  out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

FRIENDS OF THE VIGILANCE CIO 

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2024. 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To advance the preservation and conservation of the Brixham based heritage sailing trawler "Vigilance BM76" for the public benefit and, 

To advance education for the public benefit in the subject of Vigilance BM76, sail trawlers and the social, industrial, and sailing heritage and history associated with this. 

## **Significant activities** 

Fund raising by the Fundraising team and social committee of Friends of the Vigilance to provide ongoing finance for the purposes of restoration and conservation of the vessel Vigilance BM76. 

Work had begun to repair Vigilance 'to the waterline', in January 2023, funded by a grant of £820,000 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, and Vigilance funds of £145,000. It rapidly became clear that structural deterioration meant the waterline limitation was inappropriate, and efforts began to secure funds to continue to deck level. At the end of November the NHMF agreed to extend our grant to £1,120,000 to enable work to continue to deck level. Further funds would be required to complete replacement of the deck and repairs to upperworks, and at the year end an application was made to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for a further £250,000 to complete this work. This application was approved in June 2024. 

## **Public benefit** 

All Trustees have had regard and have also received the guidance notes issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## **Grantmaking** 

All decisions on possible grants/donations have been taken at a full meeting of the Trustees. 

## **Volunteers** 

All Trustees and Members are willing volunteers and continue to give of their time without any remuneration. It is also commendable that the contributions of volunteers have continued to be significant throughout the time since Vigilance left Brixham for works to be undertaken. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

While the majority of financial movement, in and out, has related to the major works under way, other minor income streams have remained steady including retail income from trading Vigilance and her brand. 

Donations in this period to "Vigilance BM76" have included receipt of pledges to be used for general purposes 'safety net' and has continued to support the necessary 'partnership' funding required by the NHMF. The Fundraising strategy continues to adapt over time to maximise our efforts and respond to changing circumstances. 

Trustees have continued to be proactive in this period in encouraging and recruiting and training new volunteers with the requisite skills to further achieve our Aims and Objectives. 

Much effort has been given towards improving our structure / organisation with regard to our future aspirations and for the benefit of all our members and for the people of Brixham and Torbay. The trustees are investigating possible collaborations with other charities and sailing based organisations, for example by having regular co-operation meetings with Pilgrim BM45. 

General objectives were set in the period towards possible avenues of grant funding and NHMF project targets. Our fundraising strategy was adapted to reflect new project targets, in particular in adjusting to the revised work programme, and to secure funds to complete deck replacement.

for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The increase in the NHMF award of £300,000 was a major achievement, and other, smaller, successes were also achieved during this period. Further funds were secured in June 2024, in the form of a grant of £250,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and donations from local individuals amounting to around £34,000 to date, enabling deck replacement to proceed. 

## **Investment performance** 

The majority of charity funds are required to meet our share of Phase 1 and 2 repairs. Further fundraising is under way to secure the funds needed to complete deck replacement before Vigilance returns to Brixham. 

## **Internal and external factors** 

The charity's main commercial asset will not be fully operational without further major sponsors to support the balance of Phase 1 & Phase 2 repair work, during 2023/24/25. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

At the end of this period of operation the Charity's financial position is considered to be satisfactory. With the increase in funding for the NHMF-funded works, major expenditure is proceeding to plan, and at the end of the financial year measures were well advanced to secure the finds to complete works to the deck and above. Budget has been amended to deal with increases in labour rates and material costs reported previously, and the revised work plan to deck level was on target. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

In this period of the CIO sources of income have continued to originate from fund raising activities in the local community, open to all members and the general public. 

Also specific pledges have been received resulting from successful funding applications. 

Income related to Torbay Lottery and use of Virgin Money Giving & Just Giving in conjunctions with events was also received. 

Trading income is now one of the charities main streams. 

The main funding success during the year was extension of the NHMF award. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have agreed that a prudent reserve to cover any unforeseen contingencies of at least £10,000 should be maintained in the Bank Accounts of the CIO. 

## **Going concern** 

At the end of the year under report, funds had been secured to enable the revised programme of works to deck level to proceed. Further funding is needed to enable works to the deck and above to be completed, with decisions on applications expected in the first two months of the new financial year. Efforts to raise charitable funds from individuals to support this were also under way. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

Charity Commission Model Constitution for an Association CIO,  dated 30th March 2016. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees Para 1.25 The present Trustees have been selected with a view to a wide ranging and professional background, in order to complement and enhance the aims and objectives of the organisation.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRIENDS OF THE VIGILANCE CIO 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Friends of the Vigilance CIO** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of the Vigilance CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 30 April 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set  out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
