Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The first year of the CIO has been a great success. Firstly, the club facilitated 3 service people to achieve their Flying Instructor (FI) ratings through training, instruction and advice. This was achieved through a project carried out in conjunction with another charity, the Royal Air Force Central Fund (RAFCF). As well as contributing directly towards Marham Aero Club’s charitable objectives there is an indirect contribution as these instructors have since been giving back to the community and serving the charities objectives through the provision of instruction to other beneficiaries.

Through a project in conjunction with RAF Sports Aircraft (RAFSA) the charity has trained 3 service people to first solo standard in the Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence (LAPL) syllabus. These we 2 junior ranked individuals taking part in RAFSA’s Junior Ranks Pilots’ Scholarship Scheme and one young officer taking part in the Junior Officers’ Pilots’ Scholarship Scheme. The schemes aim to serve the charities complimentary objectives by providing funding for training up to first solo standard for service people not in the flying branch.

Additionally, 12 service people have also started training with the club towards various qualifications such as FI, LAPL and Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL).

Finally, the charity has been able to support veterans in achieved their goal of gaining LAPL/PPL and aerobatic ratings throughout the reporting period.

Charity Commission 28 Mar 24 To whom it may concern,

Re: 1197141 Marham Aero Club

Please find attached accounts for the period 15 Dec 21 – 31 May 23.

This charity application was started in Dec 21 with the intention of going live for our financial period 1 Jun 2022, At the time we were unaware that the FP had already started. Having only recently received a reply from yourselves clarifying the queried timeline, there has been a delay in submitting this information.

Therefore, I have provided the accounts from RAF Service Funds (SF) so that the income / expenditure figures are inclusive from Dec 21, including Grants etc.

I have enclosed the SF 21-22 P&L and Balance sheet for the period Jun 21 – May 22 and Jun – Dec 21 in order to calculate the difference and add to Jun 22- May 23 financial period, of which the auditor report and accounts are also included.
