TRAINFNG SHIP BROADSWORD SEA TrAINING CORPS ACCOUNfs FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2025 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES Meeting Held on Friday 14th April 2025 Training Ship Broadsword Sea Training Corps, TS Broadsword STC, is an unincorporated organisation and is registered as a charity, number 294517, in accordance with the CharitFes Act 2011. It is governed by a Gonstitution dated 06 May 1986, amended 16 February 20 to remove the requirement of an audit to be perfomed on the accounts. The primary objective of the charty is to encourage the mental, physical and spiritual development of young people. the cadets, in order that Ihey might develop into responsible adult members of society, through the medium of Royal Naval routines, tradrtions ar ottr studies. The Trustees are appointed by resolution of the existing trustee b(yJy and the management committee. All material items are discussed and agreed by the management commrttee. All olher items such as the day to day running of the charity are responsibihty of the Trustees. Projects and acUvltle8 The charity organised several outings during the year for the cadets to participate, such as attending civil and military events. orienteering, abseilirg, camping trips, saillng trips, canoeing, athletic competitions, football matches and taking part in fundraisi activities. These activrties take place off 8lt8, such as shopping centres, school fetes and carnNals. There are also a number of events that are held at TS Broadsword HQ such as rock climbing, abseiling, football. camping, open days, band days and many fundraising events which all the cadets tske part in. All staff and volunteers are unpaid and provide their services and b'me freely. Without this support the charity would find it extremely dIfful1 to continue to Nn and provide the activitie8 described above. Our plans for next year are to continue trying to obtain further funding to enable continuation of t charty's objectives although the Truslees appreciate this will be difficult due to the current ongoing economic climate. It is anticipaied that funding will be even harder to obtain, therefo the Trustees intend to increase collections, fete stalls and to hold car boot sales every six weeks, lo try to maintain and increase income. It is also planned to try to woth dosei with Cadet Corps and other local clubs. Reserves pollcy The Trustees of the charity intend to keep on reserve, sufficient amounts to ensure that the day to day running of the unrt can continue for between six to twelve months. It is hoped this would enable adequate time to find replacement funding. However, funding is always being searched for so that the charity can continue. At present there are no unallocated reserves and the Trustees do not have any large building OT maintenance wofks or capital asset additions planned, which would require additional reserves. It is hoped to be able to build up serveS in the future. These reserves will be required to cover the running costs of the charity and to fijnd building works neces8ary for the continuation of the unit. Invesknent policy The Trustses havo considered the policy for investsnents. Page 4
