Trustees and Governance||In 2025, due to personal time constraints,
Steve Nayler indicated he would like to pass
the Chairmanship of EIWW to another trustee.
Debra Canavan agreed to take on the role
which was agreed by the other trustees such
that Debra would transition into the role
during the 2025-26 financial year. Steve would
remain as a trustee in the immediate future.
EIWW maintains four trustees out of a possible
seven and is looking to recruit one more
trustee to bring the board to an optimum
number of five.
During 2025 the board also assigned several
volunteers to roles spanning marketing and
communications as well as equipment and
operations to delegate part of the workload of
the charitybeyond the board of trustees.| |---|---|---| ## **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|During the 2024 summer season EIWW
continued to provide the regular bi-monthly
adaptive water ski sessions. One of the goals of
the charity is to provide sufficient training such
that attendees of the EIWW Adaptive sessions
can independently take part in the activities of
Ellingham Water Ski Club or other similar clubs.
It was therefore pleasing to see several of our
regular attendees joining Ellingham Water Ski
Club and making use of their facility in addition
to the EIWW sessions. Sadly, we were not able
to host any Help For Heroes sessions in 2024
due, we understand, to funding cuts within
their own organisation.
As a result, the board of trustees recognised
the need to market more broadly the activities
of EIWW to the disabled community to
maximise its reach.
During 2023-24 the board set a goal to increase
the level of external funding applications for
the benefit of the EIWW participants. Due to
the extraordinary efforts of some of our
volunteers, notably Adie Yates, this was very
successful enabling EIWW to conduct some
urgent infrastructure repairs to the slipway and
jetty over the winter as well as plan for future
investment in equipment for the following
season.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The financial period ended with £14824 of
cash funds held in its bank account with
liabilities of £1430 pending receipt of
invoice for services. The charity saw
income from water ski course tow fees
relating to the summer 2024 season of
£2151 against £2688 the previous season.
This represented a slight reduction, mostly
attributable to the absence of our Help for
Hero sessions which were cancelled, we
understand, due to budget cuts within the
H4H foundation. Expenses relating to boat
and lake hire for the sessions at Ellingham
Water Ski & Wakeboard club remained un-
changed however the board decided to
make a small 50p increase to tow fees to
account for general inflation.
The general policy of the charity is to keep
the tow fees levied to its users as low as
possible. This makes the sport as
accessible as possible. The tow fees are
therefore designed to cover the base cost
of the operation with any additional projects
or capital purchases requiring external fund
raising. In line with the goal set in 2023-24
to be more active making grant and funding
applications, EIWW was successfully
awarded several donations totalling £6350.
As a result, EIWW saw a cash surplus of
£5063 in 2024-25 (£3633 net after
liabilities) enabling it to carry out urgent site
maintenance over the winter and plan| |---|---|---| |||towards equipment upgrades and other
support programmes in the future without
any increase in tow fees to the participants
at EIWW projected in the next season.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
