## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2022. 

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 (effective from January 2019). 

## **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** 

## **Training School** 

The set-up of the SARR Training School, based at the port of Newhaven, East Sussex, has been supported by Sea-Watch e.V., Choose Love, and by a £5k grant from The Chalk Cliff Trust. 

The first course piloted in September 2022 with 7 new SAR volunteers (representing SeaWatch e.V.) taking part in a 4-day specialist training course. The first full course was run at the end of March 2023 and funding permitting, SARR will aim to deliver year-round, subject to demand, specialist training to current and future civil fleet SAR crewmembers. 

The SARR Training School will deliver a choice of 3 training courses and ultimately be recognised as a royal yacht association (RYA) training centre. Each training course will include tailored small boat training, covering experience on/in water, equipment training, and the practical skills required to be part of a mission crew, involving maritime, medical elements and SAR scenario exercises, during both day and night.

**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Trustees’ annual report** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

Training courses will be delivered by a number of highly experienced helms and trainers, all of whom have many years of direct operational experience in SAR (many of which RNLI), including members of the SARR team and board. 

## **Trent/The Aurora** 

The management of the Aurora was transferred to Eos Shipping gUG in June 2022, and later in the year full ownership of the vessel was also transferred. SAR Relief will continue to support with advice and expertise, with all costs fully reimbursed, but from the 2022/23 financial year it will be operated in the Mediterranean by Eos Shipping gUG, a Sea-Watch e.V. affiliated organisation. 

## **RHIB** 

The RHIB project was impacted by the import-export complications of Brexit and the intended end-use of the three Zodiac RHIBs by changes to the strategy of Sea-Watch e.V.. In the meantime, SARR is using one of the Zodiac RHIBs at the Training School. The future of the raft currently in storage at the SARR premises will be agreed with Sea-Watch e.V.. 

## **ARRC.** 

The future of the four MCR.60 Rescue Rafts purchased in 2020/21, of which the ARRC is one, is yet to be finalised. One is on the Aurora in Malta, other rafts may be transferred to the MareGO, in Malta, and the Maldusa Project, based in Lampedusa, but final decisions will be made in conjunction with the funder, Sea-Watch e.V.. 

## **M.V. Louise Michel** 

We continued to act as partner with Handbreit - Nautical Safety Solutions gGmbH on the maintenance, administration and operation of the Louise Michel. 

Following a difficult year in 2020/21, when we were required to adapt the ship to meet the requirements of the German flag authorities, the Louise Michel went out on four missions in the 2021/22 financial year and is planning to conduct six double-rotation missions per year. 

The Louise Michel has a strong team and has developed a successful operating model. In 2022 they rescued 762 people. 

After a couple of months in dry dock to fix the issues raised at the ship’s survey, in March 2023 the Louise Michel went back on rotation. But on 25th March, after rescuing 180 people during four rescue operations, the Louise Michel was detained by the Italian Authorities for not ignoring distress calls on her way to a safe port. They appealed their detention and we are still waiting a decision on this, but they were released after the 20-day detention period ended and went out on a further mission in May, rescuing 72 people. 

## **The ‘Workshop Truck’** 

The ‘Workshop Truck’, is our mobile workshop facility involving high level welding and fabrication capabilities for use in shipyards where NGOs and the civil fleet are undergoing maintenance and repairs. In 2021/22 the ‘Workshop Truck’ was based in Spain and was

**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Trustees’ annual report** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

used by both the Louise Michel and SeaPunks e.V. to provide the tools, cutting and welding equipment to help the teams maintaining and repairing their rescue ships. 

## **Other Funding** 

We are very grateful that **Choose Love** continue to support SAR Relief, funding our overheads and contributing support to a number of our projects. In 2021/22 they donated £20k and in 2022/23 they have committed to a £25k grant. 

This overhead support allows us to continue to operate to support humanitarian assistance on migratory routes in the Central Mediterranean to continue to drive civil fleet search and rescue frontline service improvements. 

## **Strategy and plans for the future** 

Great numbers of people risk their lives attempting the treacherous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea, escaping from war and violence. Many make the sea crossing in unseaworthy, over-crowded and unfit boats, without crew or safety, navigation and communication equipment. These circumstances lead to an ever-rising death toll at sea. 

The response to this humanitarian crisis is currently driven by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil fleet search and rescue (SAR) operations. There is currently a significant gap in suitably trained crew (majority serving voluntarily) available for operations and individual members vary significantly in SAR and ‘at sea‘ experience. This often delays mission readiness and pressurises crewmembers to fill alternative roles. Once on operation, the skills and experience of the crewmembers has very significant consequences for the success and safety of an operation. In order to attempt to address this shortage of skilled crew, the main focus for 2022/23 will be the Training School. We aim to minimise the costs of the training school to our partner organisations, and to this end, we have engaged a freelance fundraiser in the 2021/22 financial year who has been successful in securing grants and donations to support our overheads.

## **Financial Review** 

## **Review 2021/22** 

Restricted income was £1,169,021 across four projects in the 2021/22 financial year, leaving year end restricted reserves of £466,615. 

Unrestricted income was £2,048, but we also received restricted funding to cover our overheads including £16,083 from Choose Love (as well as releasing £8,080 of prior year reserves) and £10,200 towards our year end audit and accounts preparation. Our overhead costs for 2021/22 of £40,508 are made up of: 

Premises: Our rent for our premises is only £1,155 per month. In 2021/22 we paid £200 in utilities/service fee. 

Vehicle: The Land Rover Discovery and trailer was used to transport equipment used across a number of projects. It has been less useful in the 2021/22 and is currently off-road. We are planning to sell the Land Rover in 2023, expecting a sale value of approximately £3k. This would go into unrestricted reserves. 

Equipment: Equipment was purchased for use across a number of projects and for donation to search and rescue NGOs 

Other: Storage of equipment used for a number of projects in particular, the Training School, Trent and RHIB as well as unassigned equipment. 

Accountancy, insurance and IT/software: there is some accountancy work not directly related to specific projects, insurance for equipment and volunteers, as well as software/the website of the charity. 

## **Reserves policy and going concern** 

Our reserves policy is to have unrestricted reserves to cover six months’ unrestricted expenditure. As at the year end this estimated to be £9,645 (2020/21: £12,256). 

However, we ended 2021/22 with a small negative free reserve (£970). This was due to overspends on the Workshop Truck and Trent Projects. The total deficit transferred to the general fund was £14,343 and we will work over the next few years to recover this position. In the short term however, we are confident no other restricted funds will cause a deficit on the general fund: 

- The Louise Michel is a fully funded project 

- We are budgeting to charge any direct costs incurred by the Trent Project and the Workshop Truck to unrestricted reserves, so that any remaining restricted reserve will cover the remaining value of the related restricted assets 

- The RHIB/ARRC have a surplus to cover any related direct costs as well as to cover the depreciation of their restricted assets

**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Trustees’ annual report** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

The trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity and are comfortable we are still a going concern because: 

- 1) Unrestricted fixed assets and uncapitalised equipment with an estimated value of £10,050 is easily saleable on the open market. 

- 2) We received £25k from Choose Love to cover our overheads in 2022/23. £10k of this was for premises costs. However, we have decided to give up the premises to secure the long-term future of the charity. We will give notice by the end of June,and move out at the end of August 2023. This will also allow us to sell the Mezzanine. Approximate value £2k. 

- 3) We have £2,360 of Choose Love Reserves to put towards the costs of fundraiser in 2022/23. 

- 4) Thanks to the fundraiser, we have had a lot of success in finding new funding lines for the Training School, including receiving £16,750 from the Randal Charitable Foundation and £4k from The Souter Charitable Trust. This will cover some budgeted overheads such as insurance and storage. 

- 5) We have completed a detailed budget up until the end of 2023/24 which shows the charity slowly rebuilding its unrestricted free reserves. 

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: 

- An annual review of principal risks and uncertainties faced by the charity; 

- The establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and 

- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. 

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

- **Business continuity** – as a growing charity with ambitious goals, we need to ensure processes are documented and shared so that that knowledge and learning remains within the organisation. 

- **Financial sustainability** – the majority of our funding is project based, and so as we grow the charity we need to ensure that costs are well managed and that adequate overheads are built into our project bids while we build our core funding through fundraising and developing partnerships with other organisations in the sector.

## **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. 

We received funding from Choose Love to develop our fundraising strategy and started working with a professional fundraiser in 2021/22. This has started to create a pipeline of grants and develop relationships with like-minded grant giving organisations. 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.

## **Trustees’ annual report** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees** 

Trustees (who are also directors of Search and Rescue Relief Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 October

2022 was 4. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime. 

## **Auditors**

**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Independent auditors’ report to the trustees of Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Search and Rescue Relief Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 October 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 October 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Independent auditors’ report to the trustees of Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Independent auditors’ report to the trustees of Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out in the trustees’ report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The procedures we carried out and 

13 



**Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **Independent auditors’ report to the trustees of Search and Rescue Relief Limited** 

## **For the year ended 31 October 2022** 

the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below: 

- (1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of noncompliance. 

- (2) We reviewed the charity’s policies and procedures in relation to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and 

   - Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of noncompliance with laws and regulations, including fraud. 

- (3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings. 

- (4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them. 

- (5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- (6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error. 

- (7) We assessed the risk of fraud through management override of controls and carried out procedures to address this risk. Our procedures included: 

   - Testing the appropriateness of journal entries; 

   - Assessing judgements and accounting estimates for potential bias; 

   - Reviewing related party transactions; and 

   - Testing transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Search and Rescue Relief Limited 

Notes to the financial statements 

For the year ended 31 October 2022 

## 1 Accounting policies 

## a) Statutory information 

Search and Rescue Relief is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. 

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 despite a small negaive unrestricted free reserves at year end. This is because: 

- Unrestricted fixed assets and uncapitalised equipment with an estimated value of £10,050 is easily saleable on the open market. 

- We received £25k from Choose Love to cover our overheads in 2022/23. 

- We have decided to give up the premises to secure the long term future of the charity. We will give notice by the end of June 2023 and will move out at the end of August 2023.  This will also allow us to sell the Mezzanine. Approximate value £2k. 

- We have £2,360 of Choose Love Reserves to put towards the costs of fundraiser in 2022/23. 

- Due to the fundraiser, we have had a lot of success in finding new funding lines for the Training School, including receiving £16,750 from the Randal Charitable Foundation  and £4k from The Souter Charitable Trust. This will cover some budgeted overheads such as insurance. 

- We have completed a detailed budget up until the end of 2023/24 which shows the charity slowly rebuilding its unrestricted free reserves. 

## 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. No government grants were received during the year. 

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

Notes to the financial statements 

For the year ended 31 October 2022 

## 1 Accounting policies (continued) 

## f) Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## 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. 

## h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

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: 

- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of project management of the Louise Michel project and the purchase and kit out of the Workshop Truck, undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading 

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. 

## j) Allocation of support costs 

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.  However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on the proportion of total costs, of the amount attributable to each activity. 

|||2022|2021|
|---|---|---|---|
||Boats and Missions|98.0%|96.8%|
||The Training School|1.9%|3.2%|
||Raising Funds|0.1%|0.0%|

Search and Rescue Relief Limited 

Notes to the financial statements 

For the year ended 31 October 2022 

## 1 Accounting policies (continued) 

## j) Allocation of support costs (continued) 

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. 

## k) Tangible fixed assets 

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: 

 Specialist Vehicles 10 years  IT Hardware 2-5 years  Rescue equipment and premises fixtures 2-5 years 

## 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. 

## m) Cash at bank and in hand 

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. 

## n) Creditors and provisions 

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.
