Report of the Trustees for the year ended 28 February 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2022. 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).
With up to March being lost to rowing due to pandemic lockdown, planning recommenced with an ethos based upon safety. This meant racing had to be side-lined due to the vigorous nature of training. Mandatory lateral flows intercepted many infectious potentials but, on the whole, weather and availability were kind to us with over 2000 individual opportunities to get out on the water over the year. No transmissions were recorded- none!
Financially we have outperformed our previous best year. Fundraising has grown by an amazing 333% supported by some very loyal benefactors and allowed delivery of the business plan in a more than timely way. Rowing income is up four-fold on the year before but also up on adjusted pre pandemic levels by a whisker under 5%, even with a slow bubble row restart. With costs remaining in control due largely to the uncertainty of new variants and keeping rower/boat/cox ratios largely intact, club income doubled in this financial year. Retained reserves used to grow the club and affording our ambitious business plan delivery grew 30%. Total funds, albeit it in restricted project categories now exceed 1 year's turnover, our objective next year will be to deliver this in unrestricted funding allowing greater flexibility in project growth and making decision making easier in theory.
We have achieved our business objective of having 12 months of working capital in unrestricted funds to increase resilience, whilst also bringing forwards purchase of our next Plastic training Gig and a second wooden Gig to ensure growth of race/ adventure rowing continues.
The highlights of the year were finally taking the lease for the new Clubhouse at Railway Quay with the Sidings bistro next to us being popular, we must make more of the site's event space next year to assist income generation and increase Community engagement whilst we have it for 4 more years.
We were successful, working in partnership with the Canoe foundation, to allow purchase of another double tetra dock to moor the next boats scheduled to be purchased after fundraising in the next financial cycle. This will Create wider access to the Ouse and adding opportunities for the community to get out on the water in other smaller craft. We were also successful working with E-Deal and Always Possible consultancy in delivering a final European Funded project, the SouthEast Business Boost support grant to grow our training potential and will assist in the purchase of our new plastic training gig the "John Carthew" in memory of one of our staunchest and oldest members lost to us this year. We have also been fortunate to have been supported by Lewes District Council, who have through the newly structured Community fund pledged support for the next 3 years to assist planning as well as continued to administer hardship grants and also have pledged to continue the hard work of Coxes in getting the Community out on the water and actively enjoying our amazing surroundings in the National Park.
Cox training will resume this Spring with a view to increasing the 54 new competent rowers qualified this year. With Regattas and a multitude of adventure rowers from an incredible 20 clubs now in the SouthEast England Gig League (SEEGL) many more will see racing return to Newhaven and hopefully travel to further afield to enjoy new experiences.
Policy review has been completed and updated and with the Club being a predominantly on-line body during Pandemic, our code of conduct strengthened to support officers. DBS checks on all Committee and Coxes is completed.
Training has continued with four Coxes now undertaking the Club Coach qualification and a commitment to continue this into the next round of committed Coxes. VHF qualifications have been completed and we are looking at supporting indoor rowing further now we have an active centre.
With finances on a strong footing, resuming both Regatta and adventure rowing as well as continuing with the high learner numbers. Cox training and general retention is key with more boats comes more need for safe Coxing, we are trialling a Cornish Four oared gig to help with this and the setup of Junior rowing now pandemic is hopefully in the past.
