Colwick Park Lifeguards
Charity number: 1198775
Trustee’s Report
For period 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2024
Overall, 2023 was a successful year, with great progress made towards our goals of increasing involvement in education and training, while maintaining support for events. However, we faced some minor challenges due to nation-wide flooding.
Memberships have remained consistent and after 20 months since our incorporation as charity, our procedures and methods of operation have settled. As ever, we have worked closely with the Royal Lifesaving Society (RLSS) to share our resources and collaborate towards our shared goals of water safety and education.
Across the country, we supported nine different events by providing lifeguards, water safety, and rescue services in partnership with the RLSS. Building on experience from the previous year, we delivered another full Open Water Lifeguard course for 12 people, both members and the public, plus a renewal course to ensure our volunteers are up to date. In addition, an agreement was made with Attenborough Sailing Club to enable us to use their site to deliver RYA Powerboat Level 2 courses, leading to six newly qualified helms.
Our financial position has remained strong, and the success of last year provided us with enough funds to bring one of our red Dory-style boats (Nottingham) back into service, with the purchase and fitting of a new outboard engine. We continue to hold the next 12 months of costs as cash, allowing us to commit to supporting such events for another year.
A generous donation of £600 from the Nottingham Freemasons has enabled us to refresh some of our lifesaving equipment. Unfortunately, our storage facility was impacted by severe flooding during October, destroying some of our other small equipment and tools, as well as our van. A successful fundraising appeal raised £360; enough money to cover most of the small items. An insurance claim was made for the van, and this money will go towards acquiring a new pickup truck to restore our fleet to two vehicles.
We remain committed to delivering vital lifesaving, water safety and rescue services to events and communities across the country, enabling the safe enjoyment of water, for all. Through our lifeguard and powerboat courses, we continue to empower even more individuals to promote water safety. Our efforts this year leave us in good standing for another successful year.
