Islington Boat Club Management Committee Report For the year ended 31 March 2022
The management committee present the annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Companies Act 2006 and 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 (effective January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charitable company was established in 1970 to provide facilities for the social welfare and education of young people, primarily resident in the London Borough of Islington. In 2019 the Club recognised an opportunity to serve other sectors of the community, in addition to young people, so updated its mission: To inspire learning, improve health, promote socialisation and strengthen the Islington community by providing a wide range of safe and affordable water-based activities for everyone – with a focus on young people, the over-50s and people with additional needs.
These objectives are achieved by providing affordable and interactive activities for the community and by encouraging excellence.
IBC is working hard to change the opinion that boating is only for the affluent or wealthier communities, by breaking down barriers and providing activities that are inclusive for everyone from all walks of life; including those at risk and those with special educational needs. Aiming to create a community, enabling everyone to take part in water sports; where every individual, regardless of who they are and what their abilities are, can be viewed as an equal.
During the year the charity ran the following activities, delivering some activities online from April 2021 to November 2021 during mandatory closure.
Youth Group
The youth group is open to young people aged 9-17. They meet during school term every Tuesday and Wednesday, 5pm to 7pm and every Saturday 11am to 4pm. Each week over 36 young people are engaged.
Water-based activities
The youth group organise activities such as kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking, power boating and narrow boating. The youth group encourages and enables young people to gain skills, proficiency awards and, ultimately, a coaching certificate through British Canoeing (BC) qualifications. Young people who attend the youth group regularly and master the basic skills are also offered off-site day and residential activities which provide new challenges, experiences and opportunities for development.
Skills Development Projects
The youth group provides the opportunity to the more experienced young people, under the overall supervision of staff members, further to develop their skills by organising and providing training and supervision of on-site and off-site canoeing activities.
IBC has, for over 13 years, been running various special programmes and projects (mainly on behalf of the Council’s Alternative Education department) aimed at small groups of young people, many of whom have been excluded, or are at risk of exclusion, from mainstream schooling or have special educational needs, behavioural issues and some known to the local authority like looked after children. Participants of these special programmes are encouraged to come back to the club to take part in regular IBC activities.
Visits by Schools and Community Groups
The charity offers similar water-based activities to those provided for the youth group to schools, community groups (mainly in Islington, but also to adjoining boroughs) and Colleges. These activities are supervised by the charity’s qualified instructors, and are provided on a subsidised basis by the charity, but the schools and community groups also make payments for the relevant sessions, so ensuring important unrestricted income for the charity. Participants of these special programmes are encouraged to come back to the club to take part in regular IBC activities.

Islington Boat Club Management Committee Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
People with Additional Needs
This is a free programme offered at IBC and is aimed at encouraging young people with physical and mental disabilities to participate in water sports which under normal circumstances would be inaccessible to them. Each month over 25 young adults are engaged.
UpperDeckers and Adult Kayakers
This is a programme for potentially isolated people, some over 50, offering them opportunities to learn kayaking, narrow boating skills and to have a cup of tea/socialise. The group meets every Tuesday. In addition to attracting people from the local community, the Charity conducted outreach to encourage participation from individuals who might not otherwise take part. ‘Upper Deckers’ now has 69 current members. Each week 25 people are engaged.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in respect of the requirement to provide public benefit, and believe that by subsidising activities from its charitable income (and, where appropriate, offering concessionary rates) the fees charged are such that no person would be excluded from participating as a result of financial considerations.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Youth
Water-based activities
We have delivered 110 youth sessions and recorded 3,293 attendances across these sessions. We awarded 329 nationally recognised qualifications. Two of our young people have become Assistant instructors. Two more are on the path to become Assistant instructors. We provided 68 holiday scheme sessions providing activities for 181 young people.
The charity operates as a Royal Yachting Association training centre for powerboating and narrow-boating with a total of 15 students taking 9 courses in Inland Waterways Narrowboat Helm and Diesel Engine Maintenance courses. IBC is also a British Canoeing accredited centre for Canoeing & Kayaking and is an approved Mountain Bike Award Scheme provider.
Visits by Schools and Community Groups
A total of 9 schools and community groups used the charity’s premises during the year, supporting 312 pupils over 26 sessions, with many attending on several further, separate occasions by joining the youth club.
People with Additional Needs
During the year the Charity offered and funded a programme for young people with physical and mental disabilities – All On Board. We have had upwards of 18 regular visiting groups over past years with a further six this year. We have also provided water sports activities with over 300 visits from young people with additional needs, many who have enjoyed repeat visits.
Upper Deckers
An average attendance at the weekly sessions was 20 individuals taking part in kayaking and narrowboating. There were various independent trips taken demonstrating the skills and confidence gained by coming to the club.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year, IBC received £49,048 (2021: £15,856) by way of fees and subscriptions charged to participants in activities (note 3) and generated a further £82,499 (2021: £33,671) from renting of premises and facilities and course fees (note 4). The charity received a total of £7,126 (2021: £34,471) in Government support towards the costs of staff furloughed due to Covid 19 restrictions (note 4).
IBC can provide affordable access to IBC facilities and activities due to the funding it receives. IBC acknowledges the support it gets from local government, trusts and individuals. During the year £85,355 (2021: £149,111) was raised from these sources (note 2).

Islington Boat Club Management Committee Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
During the year there was a decrease in general funds (being unrestricted funds not tied up in Fixed Assets and Investments) of £36,422 taking them to £24,179 at year end. In addition, £54,884 of unrestricted funds were designated to fund fixed assets and £17,050 related to unrealised gains on investments.
At 31 March 2022 the charity also held £45,349 in restricted funds.
The movement on funds is shown in note 16 and the purpose and timing of restricted and designated funds is detailed in notes 17 and 18.
Reserves
The charitable company’s policy is to retain free reserves (unrestricted funds not tied up in fixed assets or investments) in the general fund to a level where they equate in value to 9 months expenditure. This should provide a reasonably secure financial base on which to plan future projects and commit to related expenditure, before external funding has been fully secured. At this level IBC would be able to continue the current level of activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.
At 31 March 2022 this equated to desired reserves of £100,000 compared to £24,179 as noted above.
The trustees previously set a target to build reserves steadily over 4 years from 1 April 2019, however the enduring economic impact of Covid 19 pandemic on local communities along with the inability to raise significant unrestricted funds due to the short time left on the lease with Islington Council and the drawn-out potential redevelopment of the site (over 10 year period) has resulted in a reduction of reserves from 31 March 2021. As shown in note 16, the general funds, being unrestricted funds not designated to other purposes, remained in surplus in 2021/22 with £24,179 held at 31 March 2022, however this is a reduction of £36,422 under the opening position at 1 April 2021. This is reflected by a decrease in liquidity with the balance sheet showing net current assets on unrestricted funds of £29,392 at 31 March 2022, a drop of £41,059 compared to £70,451 at 31 March 2021.
The Club held at the same time investments (shown as fixed assets), which if liquidated would result in £31,420 moving from fixed assets into current assets and £17,050 of unrealised gains being released into general funds.
Impact of Covid 19 pandemic
During FY2021/22, following Government protocols, the Club remained largely inactive until its reopening in the Summer of 2021. Since then, the Club has maintained normal operations until closure in May 2022.
The Club made use of government Bounce Back Loan scheme to assist with cashflow during the closure period and during the transition to normal operations.
Impact of Club Closure
IBC was closed by Islington Council in May 2022 due to the large number of low to medium Health and Safety concerns with the building on site (the club remains closed as at the issue date of this report). This is largely due to:
-
Limited oversight of ongoing maintenance schedules (including compliance with latest regulations); and
-
A reduction of unrestricted funding over the years, previously used for building maintenance
The recruitment of a new Club Manager has helped to close these maintenance oversight gaps. In addition, the new Club Manager has initiated at bottom-up review of IBC’s policies and procedures, governance and organisational structure to ensure it remains relevant to IBC, is compliant with latest regulation and reflects the most appropriate pricing structure to support community activities and long-term site maintenance.
The closure of IBC during Summer 2022 has dramatically affected the families and communities that rely on IBC for positive summer holiday activities to occupy their children. All IBC Summer Programmes have all been cancelled. In addition, 144 sessions for Funded Groups and Projects were cancelled impacting over1600 individuals.
In Summer 2021 IBC worked with over 120 unique young people over the 6-week period. IBC Summer Programmes provide an accessible and unique opportunity for young people to come and experience real life adventures in the great outdoors.

Islington Boat Club
Notes to the accounts For the year ended 31 March 2022
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2019 (SORP FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland 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 note. Significant accounting policies are listed below
Public benefit entity
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going concern
The current Management Committee have reviewed the financial future of the Boat Club in the knowledge that the premises need substantial refurbishment before they can be reopened and before the Club can run revenue producing activities and meet its objectives. The current Management Committee have had extensive discussions with LB Islington Councillors and officers, and have received assurance that the Council has a strong commitment to providing financial support to re-start the Club via S106/CIL funding pots, an element of which has already been committed to the Club. The Management Committee are satisfied that sufficient funding is available to establish a staged resumption of activity on a viable basis in the course of 2023, and have already received expressions of interest from commercial operators to run water sports activities from the site. The Council attaches fundamental importance to the governance improvements made by the Club, and have made it clear that the release of S106 monies and renewal of the lease of the premises is contingent on the ability of current, in part recently appointed, Management Committee to demonstrate both governance improvements and an acceptable level of short, medium and long term business planning
The management committee do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period .
Funds structure
Restricted Funds
These represent income received where restrictions on use, as determined by the donor, which are narrower than the charity’s general objects
Unrestricted Funds
These represent income which can be used for the general objects of the charitable company as determined by the Executive Committee. Unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes by the management committee are shown as designated funds.
Income recognition
Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other 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 income will be received and the amount can be measured and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of recognition criteria being met is deferred until the criteria for recognition are met.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure heading.

Islington Boat Club
Notes to the accounts (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Allocation of costs
Expenditure that is directly attributable to delivery of the charities activities or raising funds is allocated to the activity to which it relates.
Support costs comprise costs incurred in support of these activities. Included in support costs are costs incurred in the governance of the charity which are primarily associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements. Support costs are allocated to activities based on an estimate of staff time spent on each activity during the financial year.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets
Items of equipment over £500 are capitalised and valued at historic cost. Depreciation is charged when assets are brought into use to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Leasehold buildings 40 years Equipment 5-10 years
Investments
Listed investments are a form of basic financial interest and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the mid- market value.
