Contribution made by volunteers	Para 1.38	All the activities provided by EIWW are provided by unpaid volunteers including those duties fulfilled by the trustees. Due to the forced suspension of activities in the previous

two years volunteer numbers were somewhat reduced during 2022. During 2022-23 the charity moved to recruit Other – some new trustees to establish an enlarged Trustees and Governance board of governance such that they could help progress the aims of the charity. In February 2023 a new trustee, Stephen Nayler, was appointed who took over as chairperson from Ian Forrester, who stood down as a trustee. In March an additional trustee was appointed, Debra Canavan, who is a former British Disabled Water Ski Team member. The board intends to recruit another trustee in 2023-24 to bring the board of governance up to a total of five.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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	2022 can be characterised as a season of re- starting and re-connecting after the two previous year’s forced suspension of activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of the clients and support workers who had previously made use of the charity had either moved on or changed habits. As such the charity’s sessions were not as well attended as in the past particularly at the start of the summer season. Through a process of re- engagement with previous service users and the exploration of potential new users the season ended positively, included the provision of a special additional session especially for the Help For Heroes foundation. This was provided in association with British Water Ski & Wakeboard who contributed additional funding. The session was very successful and set a pathway for H4H to participate more fully in the future.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The financial period ended with £8413 of cash funds held in its bank account. The charity saw income from water ski course fees of £1296 with other minor income totalling £1519 of receipts overall. Expenses relating to boat and lake hire for the sessions were increased by the host club (Ellingham Water Ski & Wakeboard). This, combined with relatively low uptake post-pandemic, led to an overall operating deficit for the accessible water ski sessions EIWW operated. In addition, due to the lack of activity in the previous two years, some new volunteers were enrolled who required additional training which in turn increased expenditure. As a result, EIWW saw a deficit in its operating cost of £778. To grow the activities of the charity and reach out to new users, the trustees decided it was important to re-invest in and modernise the facilities it offers. The majority of the charity’s clients are wheelchair users however the changing facilities for them had fallen into disrepair and needed urgent replacement. The trustees decided to use some of the long-term deposits held by the charity to make a capital expenditure of £6300 towards the purchase of a replacement accessible toilet and shower facility specifically for use by wheelchair users. This project was co-financed by Ellingham Water Ski Club who match funded the EIWW contribution. Total expenditure for 2022-23 was £8597.
