including program related investment The Charity has no paid employees. All the Para 1.38 trustees and officers are volunteers. Contribution made by Running the Charity requires a volunteers considerable amount of time. As well as the committee the club has between many members volunteer on a regular basis, for example by helping maintain our boat park, timing races or operating safety boats. The Charity provides training for volunteers in areas such as first aid and safety boat techniques. The Charity has an annual volunteer of the year award Other

Including partners and children this<br>equates to around 300 members. This was<br>18% down on 2023 but stll considerably<br>higher than in 2019 pre-Covid fgure.<br>Reasons for the decline include people having<br>less free tme post Covid, poor summer<br>weather, less paddle boarding taking place<br>and increased cost of living, which would be<br>an important factor for families with young<br>children. Natonally sailing club membership<br>declined by3% with a more marked decline|





in family membership. 88% of members have joined since 2020. There were 30 new memberships in the year (24% of total membership). Going forward we need to recruit this number of memberships each year to continue with current levels of activity. 56 memberships (38% of the 2023 total) did not renew. The main group that did not rejoin were members who joined the Covid years but then only took a limited part in club activity. We need to do more to retain members, putting on activity that meets their needs and encouraging them to take part. **1.2 Water Sports Activity** Sailing numbers at Arnside were similar to 2023 with organised club events at weekends and informal sailing during the week. Our Try Out Day in May attracted 60 people. We ran 15 races during the year and 2 organised dinghy cruises out into the Bay towards Grange-over-Sands. One of the dinghy cruises was used as an opportunity to take new members out into the Bay. In the autumn we reintroduced midweek sessions with safety boat cover in the Autumn to get more people out midweek. The social aspect of sailing at the time as other people is also important. A new initiative was to run dinghy cruises on Windermere and Coniston Water for club members. Our club nights at Killington during the summer were generally well attended. They provide an opportunity for people to sail, paddle, kayak or windsurf at the same time as others with the reassurance of instructor in a safety boat present.  We use Killington as inland training centre as unlike Arnside it is not tidal. It provides a location where new sailors, including children can practise their skills without having to worry about tides. Paddle boarding and kayaking use was similar to 2023 but well down on 2020, 2021 and 2022, Paddle board use has declined since its 



peak during the Covid years as people had less spare time, more alternative leisure options, poor weather and as paddle boarding is no longer a new sport. In 2024, we ran a paddle board trip on the upper estuary, a social paddle boarding evening at Killington and a trip to the middle Derwent between Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. In June we ran a family paddle and kayak fun day at Arnside attracting 22 people. We plan to run more paddle board trips and put on regular family paddle board sessions at Arnside in 2025. 

## **1.3 Training** 

Offering training is important in attracting new members and meeting our charitable aims of getting more people out on the water. 

We also offer training to schools and youth groups and have an AALA (Adventure Activities) Licence.

Total number of participants decreased from 179 to 163 largely as we are offering fewer paddle board lessons than in previous years.

||No of Youth Groups|2|2||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|The number of partcipants in our school and|||||
|youth programme increased from 104 to 157|||||
|largely as a result of running lessons for two|||||
|more schools. We started ofering lessons for|||||
|schools in 2021 as a result of an|||approach||
|from a local school. We see school and||||youth|
|groups as a growth area helping us meet our|||||
|charitable aims.|||||
|At Arnside we ran taster and high tde sailing|||||
|sessions for both adults and youth. In 2024|||||
|and 2023 we ran fewer||beginner sailing|||
|lessons at Arnside due to the depth of water|||||
|at low tde. We also put on fewer adult||||and|
|youth lessons at high tde, partly due to|||||
|numbers being down on previous years|||||
|making it difcult to cover the costs of|||||
|running the sessions. Paddle board lessons|||||
|numbers have dropped from 160 in 2021 to|||||
|22 in 2024 mainly as the sport is no longer|||||
|new and since we have||put on fewer lessons.|||
|The Club is a RYA Training Centre at|||||
|Killington. Killington accounts for the largest|||||
|proporton of our training actvity. We are|||||
|group member of Killington Sailing|||||
|Associaton, which allows us to use their lake|||||
|for training and club nights. We|||are grateful||
|for their contnued support for our training|||||
|actvity there.|||||
|The number of adults taking part in sailing|||||
|lessons at Killington increased in 2024 due to|||||
|running regular improver sessions. Having|||||
|done beginner lessons many people beneft|||||
|from doing improver lessons to progress their|||||
|skills and improve their confdence. The|||||
|improver sessions were also atractve to|||||
|people who were taking up sailing again|||||
|having sailed in the past. We also need||||to do|
|more to convert people doing training at|||||
|Killington to regular sailors at Arnside.|||||
|Youth numbers were down as we trained|||||
|fewer young people at half term, partly|||||
|because of poor weather in the|||spring whilst||
|numbers during the summer holidays were|||||
|similar to 2023. We ran sailing lesson for a|||||
|group of 15 children who are being educated|||||





at home. During the winter we ran monthly theory lessons in our club house, partly to give members a chance to meet up during the off season. We run powerboat training so that we have volunteers to operate safety boats to support our water sports programme.

Revenue from training has increased by 15% since 2021 largely due to running lessons for school and youth groups. Arnside training income has dropped as the numbers for paddle board lessons have declined and as increasingly, we are offering more training at Killington. Income from paddle board lessons at Arnside has reduced from £4700 in 2021 to £790 in 2024. **1.4 Club Craft** The Club own 21 sailing dinghies, 11 paddle boards and 7 kayaks. They are available for use by members and for training. At Killington we use boats owned by Killington Sailing Association. 

We brought an additional medium rig and one extra small rig for our ICLA dinghies (Lasers) so all three boats have the three different rigs sizes making them suitable for older youth, women and lighter weight men. 

To increase the number of boats available for use by the Club at Killington, we brought two second hand Picos at £500 each and donated them to Killington Sailing Association, 



enabling them to be used by other groups. These were funded by donations. **1.5 Changing Facilities** At present there are no proper changing facilities in our boat park. Users, especially groups expect clubs to have changing facilities. We were awarded a grant of £6500 a February 2024 to take plans for proposed changing facilities in our boat park to planning permission stage. A local architect was appointed to take forward the proposals with a view to obtaining planning permission in 2025. Once planning permission is granted, we will need to carry further fundraising to be able to build the facility. **2. Promoting Arnside’s Maritime Heritage** Arnside has a long maritime history. The estuary was the port for Kendal. Crossfields built yachts and Morecambe Bay Prawners in the village from 1840s to the 1940s. There are long term aspirations to have a heritage centre based on the village’s maritime heritage. The Club own Severn, a yacht built in Arnside in 1912. Severn is currently being restored by David Moss Boatbuilders at Skippool near Blackpool. The restoration should be completed in 2025 with Severn back on the water at Arnside in 2026. The project is funded separately from the Sailing Club by grants to the Friends Group. The National Lottery Heritage Fund have increased their grant from £58,000 to £89,000 which should cover increased costs due to inflation and extra work being needed. An additional grant of £15,000 from the Garfield Weston Trust was obtained. Separately from the Club, several club members have been involved in a project to set up the Morecambe Bay Prawner Trust to buy, maintain and sail Spray, a boat built in Arnside in 1896. Our clubhouse in the Old Custom House is 



one of the oldest buildings in Arnside. The roof on the east side of the building is likely to need replacing in the next 5 years. We also want to improve fittings and deal with damp problems. The Classic Boat Regatta in June was hit by poor weather with only three boats sailing. The maritime singing festival in August with singing on the pier and in the clubhouse was well attended. We held a third conference on Crossfields and the different boats they built in November 2023. We plan to hold a fourth conference in November 2025. **3. Helping people in need, including young people 3.1 Youth** The Club offers RYA Youth Courses at Killington, improver sessions at Arnside and training to schools and youth groups.  The Club has an AALA Licence (Adventure Activities Licence). During the year we ran taster sessions for four schools and a Scout group. During the summer holidays we again put on a RYA sailing lessons for Kent Estuary Youth Project at Killington aimed at young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and hosted a day of beach and water sports activities at Arnside. In total 157 children and young people took part in our school and youth group programme compared to 104 in 2023. We introduced a small bursary scheme to help parents receiving universal credit pay for sailing lessons. **3.2 Adults** 

We became a RYA Sailability Club in 2023. Whilst we do not offer sailing sessions for disabled groups, we aim to accommodate people with disabilities or special needs on our training sessions. 



The Club offers reduced cost membership to people with a low income and students. In 2024 this cost £25. We had 7 low income or student memberships in 2024.

## Financial Review 

|Financial Review|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|The Club’s income was £39165 in 2023 –<br>2024 compared to £40,824 in the previous<br>year. The main difference was that income<br>from grants and donations was about<br>£2000 lower than in the previous year.<br>Training income was up, whilst there was<br>slight decrease in membership income.<br>Increased membership fees helped offset<br>the decline in member numbers,<br>Expenses including deprecation were<br>£41,816 giving a deficit of £2651 compared<br>to £3343 deficit in the previous year Prior to<br>depreciation expenses were £32,152 giving<br>a surplus of just over £7000.<br>Depreciation is largely accounted for by the<br>decline in the value of club boats over time.<br>At the present time, most club boats are<br>less than 10 years old. Club boats should<br>have a life expectancy of least 25 years<br>though maintenance costs will increase<br>over time. For example, at some point the<br>boats will need new sails. We need to plan<br>for replacing and upgrading the club’s fleet<br>in the future, selling old boats and replacing<br>them with new ones. The existing fleet was<br>largely paid by grants and donations. Whilst<br>we cannot predict the future, we anticipate<br>this will be how replacement boats will be<br>funded in future years<br>At the end of the financial year, the club<br>had assets of £355,399. The Clubhouse<br>accounts for around 70% of the club’s<br>assets and club craft most of the remaining<br>30%..|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Club’s policy is to hold a minimum<br>level of cash reserves to cover 6 months<br>operating expenses, currently £16,500 a<br>year.  Our income is seasonal with the<br>majority of income coming in during the<br>spring and summer in advance of<br>expenditure<br>In the short term we want to build up cash<br>reserves to help pay for investment in new<br>changing facilities in our Boat Park and roof<br>repairs on our historic Clubhouse.|

|A description of the principal<br>risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The Club is at risk to membership numbers<br>and income declining. We mitigate against<br>this by monitoring membership numbers,<br>controlling expenditure, so it matches our<br>income, attracting new members, putting<br>on activity to retain existing members and<br>reviewing our strategy on a yearly basis.<br>Similarly, we are at risk to training income<br>declining. We mitigate against this by<br>monitoring take up, reducing the amount<br>training we run, varying our training offer so<br>we put on more of the popular courses and<br>less of those with a low take up and by<br>extra promotion. We review our overall<br>training offer at least once a year.<br>We are at risk from income our trading<br>subsidiary declining and costs increasing.<br>We mitigate against this by monitoring<br>sales every month, managing expenditure<br>and seeking to increase income, for<br>example by better promotion of events,<br>putting on acts that are likely to attract a<br>bigger audience or varying our product mix<br>to concentrate on activity that creates a<br>bigger profit margin, such as private<br>parties. With fixed costs associated with the<br>building, it is important that the trading<br>subsidiary makes a profit and is not a drain<br>on the charity resources.<br>The Club is subject to risks associated with<br>the national and local economic events,<br>catastrophes such as Covid and changes in<br>people’s lifestyles. An economic downtown<br>for example might mean that people had<br>less money to spend on water sports (or<br>alternatively an opportunity to increase club<br>turnover with more people holidaying at<br>home). The club mitigates risk by keeping<br>up to date to with national developments|





|||and water sports trends, by monitoring take<br>up of club activities, cutting costs or by<br>adapting the club’s product offering to<br>current circumstances. A decline in<br>revenue in one area can be offset by<br>switching resources to a growth area.<br>The Club is exposed to risks connected<br>with owning club assets such as the<br>clubhouse and club craft. We mitigate<br>against this by holding adequate insurance,<br>conducting regular safety inspections and<br>by anticipating major items of expenditure<br>in advance.<br>The Club is subject to risks by running<br>water sports and other activities. We seek<br>to reduce risk from our activities by holding<br>public liability and employer insurance (that<br>also covers volunteers) and by having a<br>safety management system in place. We<br>conduct risk assessments, record incidents,<br>provide safety boat cover, give volunteers<br>first aid training, offer advice to participants<br>on safety and have operating procedures.<br>We reduce risks to young people and<br>vulnerable adults by having a safeguarding<br>policy in place, by following RYA best<br>practise and carrying out DBS checks on<br>instructors and volunteers.<br>The Club is subject to the risk of key<br>members and officers moving on. We<br>mitigate the risk of this by sharing the<br>workload, encouraging new volunteers to<br>come forward and develop their knowledge<br>so that there are people who can take over<br>in the future.|
|---|---|---|
|Other||In 2025 we plan to introduce an Assistant<br>Instructor Scheme for older teenagers and<br>adult volunteers who want to help with<br>training. The scheme would help older<br>teenagers with life skills helping to improve<br>their career prospects. Assistant instructors<br>would work alongside full instructors<br>supplementing them rather than being in<br>place of them for example helping show<br>participants how to rig a boat or take them<br>out sailing<br>Subject to the availability grant funding in<br>2025 we would like to extend our bursary<br>scheme to enable more children whose<br>parents are in receipt of universal credit to<br>take part in water sports.|
