SHEFFIELD UNIT 302 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees’ present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity was established by a charitable trust deed on 20 December 1963.

The trustees who serviced during the year are listed on page 3.

The responsibility of running the Training Unit on a day to day basis is in the Unit Management Committee (UMC).

New trustees are generally recruited by the UMC and are required to possess skills and experience both in business and the voluntary sector.

The responsibilities of the trustees are set out on the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities. In operation terms the trustees act as custodians of the Charity’s assets; principally Falklands Training Centre, the surrounding campus and a small portfolio of investments.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major foreseeable risks.

Objectives and Activities

The charity’s objectives are to help young people towards responsible adulthood by encouraging personable attributes and high standards of conduct, using a nautical theme based on the customs of the Royal Navy. However, the Sea Cadets is not a pre-service organization.

SHEFFIELD UNIT 302 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Achievements and Performance

The pandemic and Covid crisis continued to have an effect on the unit. The Unit re-opened in the year and we have seen a return to face to face training. This has already had a positive impact on cadet and volunteer engagement. Morale remains high within the Unit and staff are working hard to improve the cadet experience with staff busy booking cadets onto courses.

The Committee is integrated into the community and the City’s leading business people, the decision makers within the local authority and the media.

This year we have a Lord Lieutenant Cadet and Lord Mayors Cadet. We continue to refurbish the Unit with the accommodation block nearing completion and have upgraded our IT equipment and multimedia including interactive whiteboards in classrooms.

RMCD have gained a number of promotions and qualifications with activities remaining constant and our focus is now on the Blue Jackets. We have very few staff with boating qualifications we are hoping to rectify this by having a designated member of staff responsible for staff development.

We have a very strong team, active across the unit with clear goals and plan of work.

Our galley is currently been refurbished after it was severely damaged by fire. This will be a real asset to the Unit. As well as catering for residential activities it is also designed as a training kitchen.

Our systems and process remain robust and we have a safe system of operation reporting and accountable through the CO to the UMT.

We recognise the main facility lacking at the unit is an undercover drill hall, which is not ideal with bad weather and with our increase in cadets. There is also the need for a dedicated boating facility. We are working hard to secure these with the aim of completing everything in our plan by 2026/2027. In the meantime we are in the process of arranging boating with Rotherham Unit.

Our social media presence remains high attracting a number of potential new cadets and volunteers and we continue to strive to attach these to the unit.

With regards to the UMT there have been major changes this year with many of the members including the Chair resigning during the year. This created some difficulty but we have quickly identified new and returning previous members to fill the void and have an interim Chair in place. Whilst this could have been seen to be a major issue it has in fact galvanised the remainder of the UMT and new members to push the Unit forward. The general atmosphere in the unit is positive and forward looking. We continue towards our goal to be a centre of excellence.

Financial Review

The results for the year show an increase in unrestricted funds of £15639

Overall unrestricted funds stand at £346744 (2021: £331105). The charity is in a strong position to move forward with the plans for the future.

We have been trying to move our banking from Barclays for most of this year. This has proved more difficult than it should due to Barclays incompetence regarding the mandate and signatories. The new facilities with Metro bank are set up and proving effective. We continue to push Barclays to actually close the account and transfer the rest of the monies across.

SHEFFIELD UNIT 302 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year end of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHEFFIELD UNIT 302 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 8 to 14.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
