| 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 | The Club has given a number of nippers opportunities to learn and develop their skills in the sea and fitness and skills training for a number of adult members. We have supported visitors to Thanet in enjoying the seaside in a safe manner through our Beach Warden Patrols, helping reduce the load on other voluntary services such as the Coastguard and RNLI rescue services. |
Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The Club successfully ran a nippers programme of events in the summer of 2020. However, we were unable to run a lifeguard course in 2020 owing to the Covid-19 restrictions and requirements for volunteer time. |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The club raised funds from applying for a grant to Sport England to cover losses for having to cancel and refund fees for a lifeguard course owing to the Covid-19 restrictions. Other funds were raised from membership of child and adult members of the club. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The club is in a weaker position at the end of the year than hoped for. The inability to run a full season of events: Lifeguard training courses, requalifications, club activities led to lower income. However, we have still been able to meet our outgoings. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | No reserves are held currently beyond those required to meet outgoings of affiliations, insurance, and vital equipment to undertake beach activities, such as first aid consumable equipment. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | n/a |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | n/a |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | We are reliant on income to pay for essentials such as insurance, equipment repair and replacement (e.g. first aid supplies) and this is reliant on being able to offer a range of events for members. With current restrictions this is making it harder to undertake these activities and reducing the income. With outgoings increasing in price, we will have to have a successful year of running events in 2021 to remain viable into 2022. |

Para 1.46 | Lack of income from being unable to run events owing to Covid – 19. From this a lack of equipment may affect the numbers we can let take part Loss of coaches / trainers owing to other commitments to work/family due to Covid- 19.
