NOTES ON INCOME 202312024 This yeaT the main form of regular income came from Cadet donations, cliffs ehiro, HMRC: Gift aid, grants from Jack Petchey & Localgiving. In addition to the regular income, the higher than norn]al income is a result of. l) Restricted grant from MSSC £18,878.00 for the Main Deck roof project. 2} We also received several large private donations totalling £7400.00 3) A legacy donation from an ex marine £6,000.00 4) Private donation to the offshore fund £500.00 NOTES ON EXPENDITURE 202312024 l.

Southend Sea Cadets Unit Mana ement Committee Annual General Meetill 2024 Chairman's Re ort Dear Parents, Guardians and Supporters, I would like to welcome you all to T.S. Implacable this evening for our Annual General Mccting. Buildin rounds maintenance. With the large plot of land we have, continued grounds maintenance is essential. Thank you to Joe for the regular cutting of the grass and general tidying around the unit. At last christmas's work party the priority was the cutting back of the hedge and trees bordering the pavement, this was completed with considerable help from various parents. This year we have completed the redecoration of the main deck with help from Nathan Cable. In addition the exterior of the unit has almost been completed with just a rear wall & the black plinth to finish. There are still some internal areas we wish to redecorate, being the galley flats & corridor. and the cadet heads. A large project which is underway is the replacement of the Normandy Block which has now been demolishcd. We are replacing it with three flat packed cabins which are in the Car park awaiting installation. They will then require electrical fittings, fire alami instal and we are also covering the walkway between them. This project is costing in the region of £30K which has been funded from grants, a legacy donation, cadet fundraising and donation from the unit president. To further improve our infrastructure we have a list of future projects to undertake. Upgrade IT infrastructure to provide online cadet training programme in all classrooms. New flooring galley flats & main passagcway Install fence to front of unit border of hedge & pavement Defibrillator, which we have some funds rescrved for Install solar panels & battery, reconfigure heating to electric Enlarge and resurface the car park to provide a surface suitable for a parade ground. Replace galley units & appliances Convert Lower Boatstore to include accessible classrooms & toilets cost in region of £150K The future of the Range, being built from concrete panels and posts which are deteriorating, and has significant movement within the structure. A5 this is not going to be used as a range again we have decided that at some tirne in the future this will be demolished. We would like it to be replaced with a larger, self contained building and have had some basic outline plans drawn up but would cost in excess of £500K. Sailin facilities. We continue to be members of the Island Yacht Club with the use of their facilities and boat storage. To date we haven't been invoiced for this years fees but last years was £1269.00 and each year it increases by RPI. Our fleet of dinghy is currently standing at 3 quests, 3 Picos, a Laser 2000 and 2 RS Fevas, we also have 2 Trinity's for rowit]g and our Power boats stand at 2 Ribs, a Jaffa Rigitlex and a Halmatic. PTO
We are cun'ently looking at our realistic requirements and any surplus MSSC owt)ed will be transfetTed other units. Thi5 will help reduce our liability to the Yacht club. We will coiitinue to monitor the cost of the membership and the value for money in relation to the boating hours in case another option or facility arises. MiniBus All running very well and ULEZ compliant so no extra cost for attending the docks. Regular independent safety inspections are being completed in line with section 19 permit requirements. Fundraisin A successful collcction held at Tesco in July and having a card reader certainly paid off we raised just over £828.00 which we will use to subsidise the many off shore courses the cadets have been on this year. We havc applied to other supermarkets but are still awaiting a reply. Last month the cadets also participated in a sponsored walk which will be 50 % match funded Voluntecr5 Unfortunately P.0. Bialoszewski moved on during the summer and relocated to Scotland. He was a valuable metnber of the team and will be missed. But on a brighter note we also welcomed two new members to the team, Belinda helping with admin and Gordon as civilian instructor. We are looking to add some new volunteers tt> our sea ¢adet family so we can continue to offer the amazing sea cadet opportunities to our young people. There are various roles within the unit from unit assistants, civilian instructors to the management team. If you can spare a little time please see either the O.l.C, Joe or myself for more infomiation or email the unit. Finally I would like to thank all the staff and committee for your dedication, working together to deliver the Cadet Experience. A big thank you to Janis and Brad Hicks-King & Belinda and Gordon Bathurst for their help around the unit painting and demolishing. And not forgetting to all the cadets for the effort they have put in making this a very successful year. Yours, Alan Friedrich Chairman. PTO
