Trustees’ Annual Report

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2021.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association, the requirements of a directors’ report as required under company law, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Objectives and activities

Purposes and aims

Search and Rescue Relief Limited was set up to promote the saving of lives and the prevention of drowning, in particular but not without limitation by the provision of financial assistance, equipment and training to organisations in the global search and rescue community.

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

The trustees 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 its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Achievement and performance

The vision and expertise of trustee Dickon Mitchell was behind the concept of Search and Rescue Relief, and as the charity went into its second year, two large projects – Trent and RHIB – began to take shape. Funded by Sea-Watch e.V., the Trent project (Aurora SAR) is an ex-RNLI Trent class lifeboat mobilised by Search and Rescue Relief Limited to operate in the central Mediterranean in conjunction with Sea-Watch. Aurora is one of the fastest and best-equipped vessels for search and rescue in the civil fleet. She is UK flagged with a UK MCA rescue boat code certification.

The RHIB project is again in conjunction with Sea-Watch. Search and Rescue Relief Limited is assisting with the technical preparation and build of 3 new specialist search and rescue RHIBs for mobilisation on the Sea-Watch 3 ship.

We have also been assisting with the early parts of another fast boat project destined for the central Mediterranean. This is the ARRC project and has been carried out in conjunction with both Sea-Watch and the GHIBLI project. Our role is technical support to assess the viability

of the project, whilst also preparing specialist rescue equipment for use on board. The project is currently on hold.

We continued to act as partner with Handbreit - Nautical Safety Solutions gGmbH on the maintenance and operation of the the Louise Michel. The project continues to evolve and the requirements to meet the demands of German flag authorities have been a specific focus. The Louise Michel carried out her second successful mission in December 2021/January 2022, again proving to be a vital lifesaving asset.

The ‘Workshop Truck’ is still based in Burriana, Spain and being used by a number of NGOs whilst the vessels are undergoing repair and maintenance. We intent to return the truck back to the UK for a restock and service ready to be redeployed. The running costs of the truck are minimal however we will be looking at the potential for donations from the other NGOs using it to maintain its upkeep.

Thanks to the donation we received from Stiftungsfonds Zivile Seenotrettung in 2019/20 for €50,000 (£44,815) and support for our premises costs from Choose Love in 2020/21, our unrestricted reserves remain strong. This funding has allowed us to continue to grow the assistance we offer operational NGOs in the Mediterranean and Aegean while maintaining a strong financial base.

Strategy and plans for the future

In the 2020/21 financial year we set up our London headquarters at the community collective Domeview initially on a one-year contract, which has now been extended to five years Close to transport links and with access to the River Thames, it is currently being prepared to hold a design and fabrication centre, as well as office and meeting space, which we plan to allow others who need some the space to work to use alongside us.

This workspace is allowing us to improve efficiencies as we continue to work with partners to develop, build and supply specialist search and rescue boats and equipment and ensure repairs are conducted to the highest quality so that they are safe to be used by those in the field.

The AURORA SAR, the first “Trent” class lifeboat, has demonstrated proof of concept by successfully deploying in the Mediterranean and being involved in its first rescue mission in May 2022. Alongside the NADIR it rescued over 80 people from distress at sea. A deposit was paid in the 2021/22 financial year for a second Trent to be purchased and converted for use in the Mediterranean.

The Workshop Truck, our mobile workshop facility involving high level welding and fabrication capabilities for use in shipyards where NGOs and the civil fleet is currently deployed, and in the 2020/21 financial year, was used by 3+ NGOs on a daily basis.

SAR Relief will also begin to focus on providing training for volunteers who go out to search and rescue environments. The charity has secured funding from Sea-Watch for our Training School, having already begun to acquire equipment for the school as suitable kit came up at auction/from the RNLI so that equipment used in training will be as close as possible to that operating currently in the Central Mediterranean. Courses will be Royal Yachting Association (RYA) accredited and will provide training for equipment as well as in the water.

Financial Review

Review 2020/21

Restricted income was £901,856 and was used for four projects in the 2020/21 financial year, leaving year end restricted reserves of £713,259. The bulk of this expenditure has been on the purchase, repair and kit out of search and rescue equipment.

Unrestricted income was £119 of which £113 was from our Just Giving page, and £6 was interest.

Despite having taken over premises in November 2020, we continue to have very low overheads totalling £24,907 in 2020/21, £14,837 of which was funded by Choose Love

Premises: Our rent for our premises is only £1,100 per month. In 2020/21 we paid £319 in utilities. There were 4 years left on the lease as at 31[st] October 2021.

Vehicle: The Land Rover Discovery and trailer was used to transport equipment used across a number of projects

Reserves policy and going concern

Our reserves policy is to have six months’ unrestricted reserves to cover running costs. As at the year end this estimated to be £12,256 (2019/20: £10,730). Our unrestricted reserves at the 2020/21 year end were £34,262, of which free reserves were £13,577 (2019/20 year end were £44,816).

Thanks to the support for premises costs from Choose Love, a restricted fund under the auspices of registered charity Prism the Gift Fund we have been able to meet our reserves policy. Looking forward, we have been successful in our application for a fully unrestricted grant from Choose Love for the 2022/23 financial year. Reserves are closely monitored and other unrestricted income is being sought in order to ensure our long-term financial sustainability.

However, the Search and Rescue Relief Limited model continues to be to run fully-funded projects which include financial cover for support costs such as vehicles, accounting services, software and legal costs.

For these reasons the trustees are comfortable that there are no material uncertainties about Search and Rescue Relief Limited’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Risk management

The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

The key risks that this work has identified and that are still current are:

Fundraising

Search and Rescue Relief Limited works with funders to manage projects that are needed by the search and rescue relief sector. It puts proposals together and then seeks funding, while on other occasions it is contacted by prospective funders who have a project they want managed. There is also a just giving page.

Search and Rescue Relief Limited does not use professional fundraisers to raise money on its behalf nor does it enter into commercial partnerships. Search and Rescue Relief Limited nevertheless observes and complies with the relevant fundraising regulations and codes. During the year there was no noncompliance of these regulations and codes and Search and Rescue Relief Limited received no complaints relating to its fundraising practice.

Search and Rescue Relief Limited

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 October 2021

a) Statutory information

The registered office address and principle place of business is Search and Rescue Relief Limited, Unit 7a, Domeview Yard, Tunnel Avenue, Greenwich, SE10 0QE.

b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

c) Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our reserves policy requires us to hold 6 months' unrestricted reserves, and as at year end we had 6.7 months' unrestricted free reserves and we expect to strengthen our free reserves in the 2021/22 financial year via a number of means: 1) Selling assets we no longer require 2) Increase in levels of unrestricted funding 3) Transfers to unrestricted fund from restricted funds to repay investment in restricted fund projects

e) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

14

Search and Rescue Relief Limited

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 October 2021

g) Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

i) Grants payable

Grants payable are made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objects. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

Where such information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is also provided to potential donors, activity costs are apportioned between fundraising and charitable activities on the basis of area of literature occupied by each activity.

15

Search and Rescue Relief Limited

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 October 2021

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000 and has a useful economic life of more than 1 year. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. Major components are treated as a separate asset where they have significantly different patterns of consumption of economic benefits and are depreciated separately over its useful life.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

l) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

o) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
