|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

Covid-19 restrictions and requirements for
volunteer time.|

|**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.|

|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.|
