|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|During the 2024 summer season EIWW<br>continued to provide the regular bi-monthly<br>adaptive water ski sessions.

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|The financial period ended with £9761 of<br>cash funds held in its bank account. The<br>charity saw income from water ski course<br>tow fees of £2688 (against £1296 the<br>previous season). This was a welcome<br>upswing compared to the previous year,<br>which had suffered from a post-pandemic<br>hangover amongst those taking part in<br>adaptive sporting activities. Expenses<br>relating to boat and lake hire for the<br>sessions at Ellingham Water Ski &<br>Wakeboard club remained un-changed,<br>allowing the charity to make only a very<br>small increase in tow fees from £12 to<br>£12.50 per tow in order to cover base<br>operating costs.<br>EIWW also benefitted from a £1000<br>donation from British Water Ski and<br>Wakeboard in support of its activities. As a<br>result, EIWW saw a surplus of £1348 in<br>2023-24.<br>The general policy of the charity is to keep<br>the tow fees levied to its users as low as<br>possible. This makes the sport as<br>accessible as possible. The tow fees are<br>therefore designed to cover the base cost<br>of the operation, with any additional<br>projects or capital purchases requiring<br>external fund raising. This is exactly the<br>position the charity has maintained in 2023-<br>24. The approach for the 2024-25 season<br>will be similar, with emphasis being placed<br>on making more funding applications to<br>enable planned equipment upgrades, whilst<br>still maintaining the lowest achievable base<br>cost for those taking to the water.|
