## Introduction 



2023 was the second full year of activity for the Nonesuch Rowing Foundation. Our mission has been simple; to widen access to rowing for students in Bristol. 

Aside from fulfilling our reporting obligations to the Charity Commission, this report is an opportunity to share with you in more detail what we’ve been doing to enable students in Bristol to be involved in our sport. 

You will be able to read more about how we want to grow our donation income to expand our support and make it easier for us to make larger grants more frequently. We’d like all readers to think about what part they could play in helping us reach our fundraising goals. 

It gives us great pride to share our early achievements with you. None of this would be possible without the support of our generous donors and volunteers. On behalf of all of the trustees and the students in Bristol who benefit from your support, thank you.

## Individual Grants 

One way the Nonesuch Rowing Foundation widens access to and encourages participation in the amateur sport of rowing is by offering individual grants to students at the University of Bristol and members of Bristol’s community. These grants are intended to enable individuals to participate in rowing where personal financial cost would otherwise be a barrier to their participation, with a focus on those from low-income backgrounds. 

The trustees accepted applications for individual grants throughout 2023 via an online form on the charity’s website. Following receipt the trustees assessed applications in accordance with the charity’s grant-making policy.

The trustees awarded nine individual grants totalling £1105 and ranging from £46 to £250 per award. Grants were awarded to cover the costs of rowing-specific kit and clothing, membership fees, and participation in national rowing events. 

In 2023 Individual Grant funding was weighted more heavily to senior rowers, which is largely reflective of their higher membership fees and increased attendance at national events. Grants enabled both novice and senior rowers to train and race when they otherwise would have been excluded due to the personal financial cost of participation.

## “ 

Last year I applied for two Nonesuch grants to help me participate in the trials process for the GB Rowing Team U23 squad. In November I travelled up to Boston to compete against some of the best athletes in the country for the first time, and in December I was invited to the GB Rowing Team U23 training camp at Dorney Lake. 

For both events, Nonesuch grants covered the costs of my transport and accommodation so I had the opportunity to row with experienced and decorated U23 GB athletes, which was an incredible learning experience. 

Rowing itself has had an incredible impact on my life. The sport has showed me that I am able to push my body past what I thought were its physical limits, and has allowed me to excel and perform in environments that may not have been accessible to me before. I am incredibly excited to see what ” will happen this year!

“ 

Taking part in a sport like rowing had always seemed like an unachievable dream for me. After trying rowing I fell in love with it, but knew I would struggle with the costs. Receiving a Nonesuch Rowing Foundation grant relieved a huge amount of stress for me. The grant covered the costs of my membership and kit and let me focus on my training and university studies. I’m extremely grateful to the trustees and donors for giving me this opportunity.

A Nonesuch Rowing Foundation grant allowed me to pay for my club membership fees. Rowing has given me structure, improved my time management, my wellbeing, and my fitness, all of which have impacted positively on my university studies. I am immensely grateful for the support I have received from Nonesuch, ensuring that students from low-income backgrounds can also participate in the sport of rowing.

The trustees would like to welcome more applications for individual grants and encourage any potential applicants to visit the charity’s website to check their eligibility and apply online: ubbcalumni.com/nrf/apply.

## Club Grants 

A large and modern fleet of boats is essential to maximise participation in rowing. The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation’s aim is to provide club grants to the University of Bristol Boat Club (UBBC) for the purchase of boats and equipment which will be available for use by students at the University of Bristol and members of Bristol’s community. 

In 2023 the charity made one Club Grant to UBBC for the purchase of a new eight-person boat specifically for the women’s squad. 

**£40,244** for a New Women’s Eight 


Typically boats and equipment for rowing cost tens of thousands of pounds and therefore raising funds for their purchase are often multi-year projects. The trustees therefore face a continuous challenge in striking the balance between funding immediate equipment needs, and accumulating capital for future purchases.

## New Women’s Eight 

In October 2023, the University of Bristol Boat Club took delivery of a Hudson Ultimate SHARK Predator (USP) eight for the women’s squad, entirely funded from a Nonesuch Rowing Foundation Club Grant of £40,244. 


This is the second Hudson USP eight funded by Nonesuch’s supporters in the last two years (the other delivered just before the charity’s incorporation). The boat features carbon fibre wing-riggers and a hull and shoes specifically sized for female rowers. 

The model of boat is identical to the eight purchased for UBBC’s men’s squad, meaning UBBC has almost identical models and similar ages of boat for both its senior men's and women's squads in almost every boat class. 



Docusign Envelope ID: C0308E71-F5C3-4D95-9AE4-D56B651642AF 

## “ 

The addition of the new Hudson USP 8+ to the women’s squad is an exciting new development that comes in recognition of the recent growth in both size and depth of the squad over the last few years. 

Previously the majority of the women’s squad trained and raced in ageing boats in constant need of repair, and lacking in modern features like inverted slides and water bottle holders. Since the arrival of the new boat, the quality of our training sessions has vastly improved, with crunchy slides and rattling water bottles a distant memory! 

It’s been amazing to be part of the rebuilding of the women’s squad over the last few years. When I first started, the squad was struggling to put an eight together. Now we are easily fielding two good quality eights, reflective of the quality of boats we are rowing in. 

I am incredibly proud to be leading the squad this year and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve not only this year but years into the future! 

The whole squad would like to say a massive thank you to Nonesuch for funding the purchase of this boat and being part of the growth of women’s rowing in Bristol. ”

## Our Fundraising Strategy 

Our goal is to be in a position to consistently provide the University of Bristol Boat Club with a modern and reliable fleet of boats. With this in mind, we have set ourselves a target of raising **£30,000 per year** from **regular donations** . 

## **How long does it take us to fundraise for a boat?** 

The graphic below shows the length of time it takes to raise the funds required to purchase each class of boat. The length of the line represents the length of time it takes.

## Our Fundraising Target: **£30,000 of regular donations per year** 

## **Why £30,000 per year?** 

With huge thanks to our generous supporters, the Nonesuch Rowing Foundation currently raises approximately £14,500 each year from regular donations collected by Direct Debit. 

At our current rate of income, it would take over 13 years for UBBC to buy a new boat of each class for both the Men’s and Women’s Squads. That means the newest boat in the fleet today will be over 13 years old before we can replace it! 

An income of **£30,000 per year** would allow us to half that time, meaning we could replace boats when they are 6-7 years old, reducing the likelihood that students have to row in old and unsuitable boats, which will enable more students to participate in rowing more often, and to a higher standard. 

## **Our Goals** 


1. Increase our number of regular donors to **200** (currently 135); 

2. Increase our average monthly donation amount to **£10.00 per person** (currently £8.18); 

3. Ensure **100%** of eligible regular donors contribute gift aid (currently 50%). 

## **200** donors x **£10** per month x **12** months per year + **25%** Gift Aid = **£30,000 per year**

## Structure, Governance & Objectives 

## **Structure & Governance** 

In 2023 The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation was governed by its seven trustees. At the beginning of the year, one trustee resigned to spend more time on other personal commitments. New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees and serve for a maximum of three years, after which they may put themselves forward for reappointment. The charity’s constitution mandates a minimum of three trustees. 

The trustees continue to communicate primarily through electronic means, in which they agree the broad strategy and areas of activity of the charity, and consideration of grant making. The day-to-day administration of the charity is conducted by the trustees and is not delegated to anyone else. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee renumeration was paid in the reporting period. 

In 2023 the trustees' focus was on enabling the charity’s grant-making; assessing and awarding individual and club grants, and on formulating a fundraising strategy to achieve the charity’s longer-term objectives. 

## **Objects for the Public Benefit** 

The objects of The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in Bristol and the surrounding area by assisting in the provision of facilities to participate in the amateur sport of rowing and providing support to encourage wider participation in the sport. 

The charity carries out these objects by: 

- I. the provision of voluntary support, equipment, facilities and other financial support in the form of grants to Bristol-based rowing club, the University of Bristol Boat Club (UBBC) 

- II. improving facilities and purchasing equipment that will increase capacity for participation in the sport of rowing 

- III. providing grants to students and other individuals to cover costs that would otherwise preclude them from participation in the sport of rowing 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

## Financial Review 

## **Fundraising** 

The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation continued to collect regular monthly donations by Direct Debit. As of the end of the reporting period the charity had 135 regular donors (2022: 145), who collectively donated £12,925 to the charity in 2023 (2022: £12,313). In addition, the charity received £16,756 in one-off donations (2022: nil). The charity claimed £6,230 of Gift Aid on donations in 2023 (2022: £2,009). The collection of donations by Direct Debit incurred a cost of £423 for payment processing to the charity’s online payment provider (2022: £430). 

The charity received £913 of income from tickets sales (2022: £1,444) and £120 of donations from the University of Bristol Boat Club Alumni & Friends, from the proceeds of kit sales (2022: £485). 

## **Individual Grants** 

The trustees awarded nine individual grants in 2023, totalling £1,105 (2022: 6 grants totalling £429). Grants were awarded to cover the costs of rowing-specific kit and clothing, membership fees, and participation in national rowing events. These grants enabled individuals to train and race in rowing when they otherwise would have been excluded due to the personal financial cost of participation. 

## **Club Grants** 

The trustees agreed to acquire a new racing boat for £40,244 which was donated to the University of Bristol Boat Club to further participation in the Women’s Squad. 

## **Event Expenses** 

In 2023 the charity hosted a fundraising event at the Henley Royal Regatta. The objective of hosting the event was to attract new donors and to thank and retain existing donors, thus raising funds for our charitable objectives. 

Over 130 supporters of the charity attended the event. The charity incurred costs of £480 for hire of the venue (an outdoor space at Henley Cricket Club) and £287 for refreshments for attendees. The event was ticketed to recover the running costs (see Fundraising above) and the charity’s regular donation income increased by 7% following the event. 

**18** Financial Review 



Docusign Envelope ID: C0308E71-F5C3-4D95-9AE4-D56B651642AF 

## **Marketing and Donor Recognition** 

In 2023 the charity spent £507 on marketing and donor recognition expenses (2022: nil) which included the purchase a set of 100 bespoke lapel pin badges, and a Christmas card campaign (in which each regular donor received a branded Christmas card containing a personalised handwritten message from a beneficiary of the charity). The objective of providing donor gifts was to promote the charity’s brand and recognise and thank our most generous donors to attract new donors and support donor retention 

## **Other Expenses** 

The charity spent £660 on accounting services (2022: £165), with the increase reflecting the accrued cost of an accountant’s review, given the higher level of income received in the period. The charity spent £339 on web-hosting services (2022: £316). 

## **Balance Sheet & Reserves** 

The charity ended the year with £3,868 in cash at bank (2022: £12,381), with the reduction related to the significant club grant awarded in the year. It was owed £3,285 in Gift Aid receivables at the period end (2022: £2,013). The Foundation ended the year with total reserves of £7,116 (2022: £14,281).

## Independent Examiner’s Report 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Nonesuch Rowing Foundation** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Notes to the Accounts 

## **1. Basis of Preparation** 

- 1.1. Basis of Accounting 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the ‘Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and with the Charities Act 2011. 

- 1.2. Going Concern 

The trustees have prepared the accounts on the going concern basis, having considered the nature of the charity, its activities and financial position. 

## **2. Accounting Policies** 

The trustees have applied the following accounting policies in preparing these accounts: 

- 2.1. Recognition of Income 

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## 2.2. Offsetting 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. 

## 2.3. Grants and Donations 

Grants and donations are only included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the general income recognition criteria are met (see note 2.1 above). 

- 2.4. Volunteer Help 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 

- 2.5. Recognition of Liabilities 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
