Organisational Achievements and Performance
Trustees Report – unit NEATH AND DISTRICT 388 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS
The Chair’s Report for the year ending March 2021 as delivered at the AGM on 29.10.2021 is as follows;
• Just completed second year as chair of Neath Unit, and it’s been a strange couple of years with covid restrictions in place and adapting / changing to new circumstances.
• All UMT meetings have been held online via Zoom / Teams during lockdown and will likely continue for some time in the same way. Unfortunately, we haven’t managed to recruit any new members to the UMT during this period
• Although mentioned during last year’s AGM, it should have been for this year’s AGM as it was after April 20 there was a change in the Officer in Charge for the unit on 12th June 2020. After a period of illness PO Des Andrews decided it was time to stand down and the role was handed over to Sub Lt Chloe Oglesby. Thank you again to PO Andrews for his work and good luck and keep up the good work Sub Lt Oglesby.
• With fundraising activities such as flag days, bag packing all cancelled due to restrictions and no subs coming into the unit from cadets we were heavily reliant on funding from the local council and grants. We were been extremely fortunate to have secured some vital emergency covid grant money. The first of which came from MSSC (area) which was set to pay our bills for the three months that we were expected be locked down. We were also fortunate to have received in total £22,000 from Neath Port Talbot Council for small business rates relief. This was a tremendous help to keep the unit bills paid and prevent us from closure. There was also a grant of £850.00 from the Moondance Foundation for STEM equipment for the unit and a grant off Sports Council Wales of £4,450.00 Sports Council Wales for new safety boat. Our treasurer will go into more detail with regards to the funding we’ve received with the Teasurer’s report.
• During lockdown we also manage to purchase and have installed a new boiler (well very good condition second hand one) to replace the old temperamental boiler we had previously.
• The management bank account is looking okay currently but general bills, insurances etc are eating into it quite quickly, so we need to start looking at some fundraising activities / flag days (when allowed). Cadet Subs have now resumed again with all cadets now back to 2 nights parading and full activities being carried out. This is now being paid via standing order with provision for other arrangements should circumstances need.
• Much of 2020 (financial year between April 20 and March 21) was spent in lockdown with very little going on. Parade nights were held virtually on Tuesdays via Zoom, with lessons, quizzes and even a Halloween party with dances. Goody bags were sent to cadets for both Easter and Halloween. There have been a number of courses that the cadets and staff have been able to participate in and there was even a virtual Junior Summer Camp that we had some cadets participate.
• There was a short period in October 20 where we managed to get some boating sessions done following some Return to Boating Risk Assessments that were carried out. Plans to carry out further boating sessions during the half term of October were scuppered by a fire break lockdown.
• During the Firebreak Lockdown the Return to Indoor parading Risk Assessment was completed ready to submit as soon as the lockdown was over and this was fortunately approved quickly meaning we could return to the unit for parading. Although there are still restrictions in place with regards to numbers allowed in the unit at one time arrangements were made to ensure all cadets were given the opportunity to return to face to face.
• As you know a further lockdown was then implemented by the Welsh Government over Christmas meaning that face to face parading was once again on hold.
• Face to face parading recommenced in April 21 with 3 nights to allow for numbers of cadets attending for both Sea and Marines cadets to allow social distancing (this is now back to 2 nights with both attending on Tuesday’s and Thursdays)
I just want to say a huge thanks to all the Team at Neath Unit, both staff and UMT members for their help and support over this last year. Once again it has been a testing time for cadets, staff and the UMT due to covid and the uncertainty that has come with it but all have dealt with it well and pulled together as a team.

The Commanding Officer gave the following update on 2020’s achievements and activities. We held weekly zoom sessions from May 2020 where numbers were good initially. As time went on numbers dwindled as cadets got fed up of virtual sessions and more so when doing home schooling through the year. We made use of the HQ supported lessons with various guest speakers attending during lockdown. We had senior cadets helping junior cadets in STEM sessions to mix things up for everyone.
We got back out on the water for a few sessions in September and October but went back into lockdown during October half term. We also held a few Saturday morning sessions at that time.
We provided home packs at Christmas and Easter which were all delivered homes, so we checked wellbeing at the same time. All cadets received packs even if not attending on zoom. When able to return to face to face parading, we held separate nights for each section: juniors, seniors and RMC. This took a toll on staff availability and we are now back to parading twice a week with all cadets attending both nights.
During lockdown a recruitment drive increased our cadet numbers, some have stayed, and some have not continued. We also recruited a few members of staff.
Achievements 2020/2021

Covid-19
Our unit has been in lockdown since 17 March 2020 and various courses and events have been cancelled as a result. This includes 6 offshore voyages, 3 flag days, 4 supermarket bag packing bookings, losing us a potential £5,000+ of fund raising opportunities.
The Trustees continued to govern the unit by holding UMT meetings virtually via zoom and monthly staff meetings have continued online.
The unit has delivered online parade nights via zoom on a weekly basis but not all cadets have participated either due to poor internet access, IT resources or uncomfortable with being online. We have obtained Covid-19 emergency funding to provide laptops for cadets and volunteer staff who are otherwise unable to participate. In preparation for face-to-face activities, we have installed Perspex screens in the office and galley areas. We have limited access to classrooms with each room having clear notices of maximum occupancy levels. Furniture and equipment have been relocated in storage to allow more space for cadets where necessary. There are 2m markers on the main deck floor. A one-way system is in place throughout the unit main building. Hand sanitiser stations have been set up at all entrances and exits and at the toilets and galley entrances. Sign in sheets are used at the start of parade nights and all cadets and staff’s temperatures are taken and recorded using a thermal gun. A QR code is available at the entrance for Track, Trace and Protect purposes.
Plans for 2021/2022
We hope to obtain the possession of our land in 2021 - Our application to HM Land Registry has been submitted
We aim to obtain funding to modernise the toilets to provide disabled access.
We aim to obtain funding to update the galley facilities including a new cooker and flooring at the minimum.
Resume boating activities should MSSC and Welsh Government guidelines allow. Resume full face to face activities should MSSC and Welsh Government guidelines allow.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The trustees continue to review the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risk to the organisation, that being a reduction of income. The trustees have established a policy whereby the reserves in total that are not invested in tangible fixed assets held by the Unit, should be up to the equivalent to 3 months overhead costs of the charity.
The level of these reserves has been determined by the need to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and also for the charity to carry out all of its legal obligations.
At the end of March 2021, the total of the charity’s reserves stood at £27,452 of which £14,882 was unrestricted and £12,570 restricted.
The financial strategy of the trustees continues to be that of building the reserves which will be achieved by continually reviewing overheads, exploring additional means of income and further fundraising. The trustees will continue to take all necessary actions with regard to the prevailing economic climate.
Structure, Governance and Management
Units of the SCC are formed solely by volunteers in local communities. Each Unit is a selfsupporting youth organisation and an independent charity with a central support management and training structure provided primarily by the Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC). The unit becomes a part of the SCC by virtue of its’ affiliation to the MSSC, the parent body of the SCC. In accepting this affiliation, the unit undertakes to comply with all regulations issued by, or on behalf of, the MSSC Council.
Page. 4
The Unit was registered as an unincorporated charity on 14 May 1964 and is governed by a constitution approved by the Charity Commission of England and Wales. A revised constitution issued by the Marine Society and Sea Cadets was ratified by the Board of Trustees between meetings in December 2017 in order to meet the deadline of 31[st] December 2017.
Recruitment and Appointment of the Trustees
Trustees serve and are re-elected on an annual basis. A minimum of 4 office holders: Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Commanding Officer. UMT office holders are elected at the first meeting following the Annual General Meeting (AGM). UMT members are elected from the membership of the Sea Cadets Unit which is drawn loosely as being those with an interest in the unit. The constitution lays down specific controls for UMT membership and will be observed for all future recruitment.
In the event of a vacancy arising during the year (known as a casual vacancy), the trustees have the power to appoint new trustees. A trustee will serve until the date of the next AGM, after which the post will be filled by election.
The trustees are represented by a wide range of individuals from various aspects of the community. Trustees have the power to appoint additional trustees to act jointly with them for all purposes. A trustee whose term of office has expired can be appointed for a further term of office.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity (Accounts Reports) Regulations 2008.They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NEATH AND DISTRICT UNIT 388 of the Sea Cadets Corps would like to publicly acknowledge and thank the following organisations and donors for their financial support during 2020/2021.
List your benefactors
Robert Williams and Adrian Morley, Partners, Hutchinson Thomas, 119 London Rd, Neath SA11 1LF. Legal assistance for application to the Land Registry.
No final report would be complete without acknowledging the efforts and dedicated service of the adult volunteers who make the unit a success. During the pandemic, lockdown and restricted access, the resilience and commitment of the staff volunteers enabled the Neath and District Sea Cadets to continue virtually throughout this period. For any Sea Cadet Unit to succeed it is fully reliant on its teams to work together. The staff were able to offer a weekly parade nights on line in compliance with MSSC safeguarding guidelines and our cadets had access to virtual training courses. We were able to retain most of our cadets and the unit has grown in numbers despite such unprecedented times. Well done to all.

||||
| The method(s) adopted for recruiting new trustees, and how trustees are elected or otherwise appointed (and by whom) in accordance with the Unit’s constitution, are as follows:- |
||||
| Unit Management Committee (UMC) members are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). UMC members are elected from the membership of the Sea Cadet Unit which is drawn loosely as being those with an interest in the unit. In the event of a vacancy arising during the year (known as a casual vacancy), The UMC have the power to appoint a new UMC member. The UMC member appointed will serve until the date of the next AGM, after which the post will be filled by election. |

| The Unit’s charitable purpose(s) as set out in its constitution is:- To help young people towards responsible adulthood by encouraging valuable personal attributes and high standards of conduct, using a nautical theme based on the customs of the Royal Navy. |
||||
| Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our face to face activities stopped on 13.3.20. They resumed briefly between Sept 2020 and Oct 2020. We have maintained weekly zoom sessions with the cadets since May 2020, every Tuesday evening. We have not collected any subscriptions during this time, but have received financial support from the local authority. The Unit’s main activities and achievements in the financial year were:- |
||||
| Public Benefit The UMC continue to give due regard to the public benefit provided by the Unit in relation to the charitable purpose of the Sea Cadet movement as set out in the activities and achievements as outlined above. The aim is to promote the development of young people in achieving their physical, intellectual and social potential as individuals and responsible citizens in a safe environment. In order to achieve this the Unit takes young people from all backgrounds, including where possible those with disabilities and develops their skills and abilities by: • Regular and structured activities with a nautical theme. • Allowing young people to take part in activities connected with the wider Sea Cadet movement such as seaborne activities, events and competitions at district, area and national levels. • Availability of formal educational achievements whilst taking courses to earn badges and promotions Contributions are kept low in order to ensure all those who wish to take part in the activities of the Unit may do so. |
