| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | “The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the public benefit by the provision of advice, guidance, facilities and opportunities to participate in canoeing, kayaking and other related paddlesports for which British Canoeing is the national governing body.”(Clause 3) |

Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Open to the Community Putney Bridge Canoe Club (“PBCC”) is a club affiliated to PaddleUK/British Canoeing (“PUK”) and operates from Barn Elms, in the London Borough of Putney. In its second year of operation as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ("CIO") PBCC has continued to welcome members from all areas of Greater London. Due to our limited facilities, suitable only for storing the equipment required for our paddles, we have continued to rely on the generous hospitality of our neighbours, Barn Elms Boathouse and South Bank Sailing Club, providing our members with access to their changing room facilities and water supply respectively. We run our river activities from Barn Elms and hire the Janet Adegoke swimming pool (located at Bloemfontein Road, W12 7DB) to offer pool sessions once-a-week. We also occasionally hire the artificial whitewater courses at Lee Valley White Water Centre (“LVWWC”), to provide members with an opportunity to experience this type of kayaking in a controlled environment. We offer one free-of-charge Thames paddling session to Trial Members |

Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
(prospective members who have been assessed at the pool and deemed ready to paddle on the Thames). These sessions are free-of-charge for PBCC members. Pool sessions are open to members and non-members and the charge to participants is intended to recover the costs incurred for the hire of the pool from GLL/Better. PBCC's ongoing successful partnership with Chiswick Pier Canoe Club (“CPCC”) has again contributed to ensuring that pool session capacity is maximised throughout the year and that all lifeguarding requirements are met. An arrangement with London Kayak School (“LKS”), granting their coaches and customers access to the facility upon request, has also helped PBCC to maintain high levels of swimming pool attendance. As already explained PBCC's first Trustees' Annual Report ("TAR") pool sessions are the pathway for novices to be introduced to the basic safety requirements and paddling skills required to take part in Thames paddling sessions and join PBCC, if they wish to do so. They also offer the opportunity for experienced paddlers to refresh rescue and self-rescue skills. Given the small number of facilities offering paddlesport activities within the safe environment of a pool, PBCC’s pool sessions keep attracting a significant number of paddlers from other Greater London clubs. Membership Numbers (see Attachment 1) Although membership tends to fluctuate year-on-year, in 2025 PBCC has maintained a healthy base of around 100 members. In order to maximise participation opportunities for members of all ages and employment status, we have continued to offer our scheduled paddles both on weekdays - on Tuesday evenings, thus facilitating access for those in employment, and Wednesday mornings, which are particularly popular with retirees and freelancers - and at weekends on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The schedule has remained unchanged from the previous year as it had proven extremely successful.

Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
PBCC has a significant number of members in the >46 years age group, as the club’s activities are particularly well-suited to individuals in their middle years who are looking to develop new skills, enhance their physical and mental wellbeing and maintain an active lifestyle. Accordingly, membership applications from this demographic are especially encouraged and once again, in the relevant period for this report, we have welcomed new members with prior experience as well as without. Membership runs with the calendar year. For new members who join the club after 1 September, their initial membership period runs until the end of the following year, therefore covering a period up to 16 months, thus making the annual membership fee, which is already extremely competitive, even more attractive. Activities PBCC carried out the following activities during the relevant period:• Thames paddles (standard and racing); • Whitewater trips, including trips to LVWWC; • Pool sessions (Janet Adegoke swimming pool). Thames Paddles Paddling sessions departing from and returning to the club’s base at Barn Elms took place on a regular schedule of 4 (four) sessions per week, each lasting around 3 (three) hours, of which approximately 2 (two) hours are spent on the water, with the remainder of the time spent preparing for the paddle (including allocating equipment and providing a pre-paddle briefing) and cleaning and putting the equipment back in the club’s container. During the relevant period, 172 (one hundred and seventy-two) paddling sessions were run on the Thames, i.e. close to one session every other day, with more than half of the club members, 70 (seventy), participating in one or more sessions. This year, rather than running ad-hoc beginners’ sessions (i.e. shorter session
3
Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
taking place at low water to minimise risk and ease newcomers into paddling in a moving water environment), PBCC accommodated the novices, who were joining a river paddle for the first time, into standard river sessions, making sure that they were specially looked after and buddied up with an experienced paddler, able to provide, as needed, advice, instruction and assistance throughout the entire duration of the paddle. Participation in the Big Paddle Cleanup PBCC took part in annual environmental campaign promoted by PUK, the Big Paddle Cleanup. Paddlers are in a unique position to collect litter from areas normally inaccessible to most, such as waterways and the foreshore and therefore individuals and clubs are invited to give their contribution during a set period of 2 weeks – the last of May and the first of June (in 2025 between 24 May and 8 June), thus helping to raise awareness about plastic and other forms of pollution and about the damage caused to blue spaces. PBCC committed to devoting one of the scheduled Thames paddles to collecting litter from the Thames and the foreshore and organised a special session for 24 May 2024, which proved extremely successful thanks to the enthusiastic contribution of the club members attending on the day. As required, the results of the effort were logged on a dedicated section of PUK’s website - where overall national results were eventually published. PBCC members were delighted to take part in the initiative, which not only had a positive impact on the environment and on their awareness of pollution issues and human impact on nature, but also fostered their community spirit and a sense of achievement in the knowledge that they were making a positive difference and “giving back” to the environment that they so much love. Racing The small but committed Racing Group continued to operate, especially during the
4
Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
warmer months, under the guidance of PBCC’s Racing Team Leader, who introduced existing and new club members to K1 and K2 racing boats and surfskis. The racing sessions represent the ideal training ground for those intending to take part in the annual long distance (125 miles) event Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race (“DW”), which takes place every year on the Easter weekend. Whitewater Trips PBCC traditionally joins the bi-annual whitewater trips to the River Dart in Devon, organised by Cherwell Canoe Club. Due to environmental constraints, these take place in the autumn/winter months. In the relevant period, two weekend trips were run, on 7-9 February and 28-30 November 2025. PBCC returned the favour by inviting Cherwell Canoe Club members to join the club’s trips to LVWWC, when it hires on an exclusive basis the Centre’s Legacy Course for two hours. One trip was organised in the relevant period, on 24 May 2025, which saw a good turnout. The charge to participants, as in the case of the pool sessions, is intended to cover the costs incurred by the club for the exclusive hire of the facilities, which are operated by Better on behalf of the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority. Pool Sessions As explained above, PBCC offers access to its pool sessions, which are held every Wednesday evening from 20:00 to 21:00 at the Janet Adegoke pool in White City, to its members and those of the CPCC, to nonmembers from other London Clubs, to coaches from LKS and their customers and to novices who wish to get into kayaking. During these sessions, novices are introduced to the basic safety and paddling skills required to take part in Thames paddling sessions, as it is not deemed appropriate to permit beginners to paddle on the tidal section of the Thames without any prior introduction to basic paddling techniques, to making a wet exit from a capsized boat and to re-entering a boat after a capsize.

Sea Kayaking Trips During the relevant period, PBCC was not able to organise any club sea kayaking trips, due to unavailability of suitable Leaders. However, several individual members attended various day and multi-day trips, training courses, symposia of their own choice, thus gaining skills and experience that they were able to share and transfer to others and thus providing a benefit to the entire club. The forward plan is to ensure that the club is once again able to run sea kayaking trips in compliance with the requirements of PUK's guidelines. Social Activities Once again PBCC organised a club paddle followed by a summer BBQ on the evening of 29 August 2025, thanks to the kindness and generosity of a club member offering his garden located on the riverbank in the Chiswick area and various club officers and members contributing with their cooking, organising, cleaning, etc. A small fee was paid by each participant for the cost of food and refreshments with the club covering any minor shortfall if needed. In the spirit of the good cooperation between local clubs, CPCC invited PBCC members to their Thames boat trip on MV Golden Salamander which took place on the evening of 25 April 2025. Trip Leaders PBCC has continued to take steps to achieve compliance with PUK’s Standards for Deployment Policy (which provides the standards for deployment required for delivering paddling activity within all affiliated Clubs, National Association events, and activities) within the deadline of 31 December 2026 by developing a Training programme for its current Trip Leaders and prospective Leaders. PBCC first engaged directly with PUK’s Community Lead and Training Lead to better understand the requirements under the above policy and their application to the Tidal Thames environment. Thereafter the club contacted known providers based in
6
Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
the London area to discuss training and assessment options, develop a dedicated training plan and gain relevant quotations to assist the Trustees in making the final decision on the provider's appointment and arrange for the training programme to commence in early 2026. As explained in detail below in the "Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held" once the extent of the training costs to achieve and maintaining compliance with PUK's Standards for Deployment Policy are better understood, PBCC will make a suitable reserves allocation for this specific item and any other necessary to ensure that the club can continue to operate. Furthermore, the club continues to encourage its members to undertake the pathway of British Canoeing Awarding Body’s awards and qualifications, both on a personal basis and with the club’s support. Welfare Officer The Welfare Officer (“WO”) provides advice regarding safeguarding and protecting adults at risk and children, promoting good practice and co-ordinating action within the club following receipt of any concerns or referrals. The principal focuses of the role are ensuring all policies and codes of conduct are up-to-date, and any changes in national legislation and guidelines from PUK are accessible to the club’s Trustees, Officers, Trip Leaders, Volunteers and members, to ensure the safety and welfare of everyone involved in the club’s activities, as well as to comply with legislative requirements and PUK’s Standards for Deployment Policy. Progress against action plan targets (Safeguarding and Health & Safety):- • Safeguarding training: all Trustees/Committee members and Trip Leaders have completed/are completing the necessary courses to be compliant. • As at the beginning of the relevant period PBCC had in place the following Policies: Code of Conduct; Safeguarding Policy (which was
7
Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
| updated on 20 February 2025); Health and Safety Policy Statement (all made available, together with the Constitution, to all club members). • PBCC has carried out its annual review of its 2023 General Risk Assessment to take into consideration any material changes impacting its operations and produced its Third revision in July 2025. PBCC will continue to review and revise said Risk Assessment every 12 months, or whenever there is a significant change to the Tideway Code or to the requirements dictated by the paddlesports governing body, PUK, or a material incident occurs. The General Risk Assessment (as revised) is also distributed to all club members. Liaison with other Clubs in the Area PBCC continued to develop its long- established links with CPCC and Battersea Canoe Club. |

| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the promotion of health and wellbeing through the pursuit of paddlesport activities in central London. PBCC offers the opportunity to anyone living in Greater London, with or without prior experience, to participate in frequent and regular paddling activities at minimal cost. However, the club may impose an upper limit on the number of participants in a given activity, to ensure that their safety and well-being is prioritised. The main activities, as described above, are:- • 4 (four) standard Thames paddling sessions per week throughout the year, free-of-charge to members (all necessary equipment, including boat, paddle, buoyancy aid (“BA”) and spraydeck are provided by the club); • 1 (one) Thames paddling session, free-of-charge, for Trial Members (all necessary equipment, including boat, paddle, BA and spraydeck are provided by the club); |
8
Docusign Envelope ID: 9DD250D9-5592-8C91-8363-23212700AE88
• numerous racing sessions every week, arranged by the Racing Team Leader, free-of-charge to members (all necessary equipment, including boat, paddle and BA are provided by the club); • 1 (one) pool session each week throughout the year, open to members and non-members (all necessary equipment, including boat, paddle and spraydeck are provided by the club); the charge to participants is only intended to recover cost of pool hire; • The club continues to develop links with other kayaking clubs, coaches and service providers to offer members further opportunities to engage in various paddlesport disciplines and extend their interest, range and skills. The activities offered by PBCC have a beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of the participants, regardless of their ages and abilities, and foster social interaction.

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | For many years PBCC has provided regular and frequent kayaking opportunities on the Thames in central and west London and in the controlled environment of a swimming pool, while operating as an unincorporated association. In addition, the club organised trips to whitewater rivers and seaside locations to expand members’ access to multiple disciplines, such as whitewater and sea kayaking and kayak surfing. After careful consideration in 2022 and at the beginning of 2023, the General Committee’s recommendation that PBCC apply for registration as a CIO with the Charity Commission (“CC”) was voted on and ratified by club members at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 2 February 2023. The principal driver for the application was to ensure the club has appropriate governance and management, so that the mission of providing affordable and accessible participation to paddlesports in the London area could be continued and developed. In order to achieve CC accreditation, the three trustees-elect tailored the CC’s association constitution template and produced an appropriate constitution, Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policy. Following registration, the Trustees developed further governance measures, |

procedures and guidelines, which were distributed to all club members, as required. This TAR for the period 1 December 202430 November 2025 covers PBCC's second year of operation as a CIO. Please also refer to Summary of Main Activities above.

Para 1.21 | The CIO’s bank balance was £ 15,784.08 at the beginning of the relevant period (1 December 2024) and £ 16,203.60, excluding £75.24 untransferred from the Stripe account at the end of the relevant period (30 November 2025), with an excess of income over expenditure of £494.76. The Stripe account was established in early 2025 to facilitate payments - which were previously only possible via bank transfer, cheque or cash - with a debit/credit card payment option that has proven very successful and popular, both from the |

|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Whilst PBCC decided that a formal "Reserves Policy” and budgetary procedure would only be finalised once the cost of training to achieve and maintain compliance with PUK's Standards for Deployment Policy was understood, a Financial Policy and Guidance was ratified by the Trustees and adopted on 20 December 2024, although the Trustees had already commenced to implement its principles during the financial year terminated 30 November 2024. The principles that underpin the above policy and guidance ensure an adequate governance and control of financial transactions, including the requirement for dual authorisation for non-standard payments that exceed £50 (fifty pounds) and for a majority of the Trustees to approve payments that exceed £500. In addition, PBCC’s bank balance, which has been carried over from the time when the club operated as unincorporated association, represents a safeguard against delay or loss of income, unforeseen costs and to finance future growth and development. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | None |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | The Club operates with the funds that are available and continues to operate with a positive bank balance. However, with the expected high costs of the 2026 Leaders Training programme it is assumed that the current bank balance will be significantly reduced in the next financial year (1 December 2025 – 30 November 2026) and possibly in the following one as well (1 December 2026 – 30 November 2027). Hence, PBCC plans to formalise a reserves policy and allocate ringfenced reserves (to training, equipment replacement) as soon as practicable. |

| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 | The CIO relies on membership subscriptions as its main source of funds. Minor and occasional sources of income may be derived from the sale of surplus equipment and/or of donated items. |
| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | N/A |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | The principal risk facing the charity is the lack of qualified Trip Leaders which would prevent the club to run its activities in compliance with the PUK’s Standards for Deployment Policy as of 1 January 2027 (hence Leaders training programme being developed in the relevant period and due to be implemented in the following 12 months) and loss of equipment, in particular boats, due to their high replacement cost. PUK’s insurance policy, which is provided to affiliated clubs, only covers Public Liability (for bodily injury and damage to third party property), Professional Indemnity (for claims made against the club which allege that a third party has suffered an injury or financial loss caused by negligent acts, errors or omissions during coaching activities), Directors & Officers (Protection for committee members and club officers against claims arising from their decisions or actions whilst managing the organisation), Employers Liability (not relevant, as the club does not have any employees) and Abuse. In the future PBCC intends to evaluate the cost of procuring insurance (e.g. against theft or vandalism) to cover its equipment. |
| Other | PBCC is a CIO, which was registered with the Charity Commission on 2 October 2023 with charity number 1204998.
