OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The main objects for which the company is established are:
-
The stimulation of education and training for seafarers.
-
To encourage persons seeking to follow a career in the Merchant Navy, Civil Air Service and Armed Forces.
-
To sponsor Merchant Navy Deck and Engineer Cadets.
-
To perpetuate the name and ideals of training and education formerly enshrined in the HMS Conway Cadet School.
Individuals selected for grant assistance must be qualified for the courses they will undertake and qualified for entry to the Merchant Navy.
In carrying out the Trust’s activities, Trustees have followed Charity Commission guidance to ensure that it pays due attention to the principles of Public Benefit. Conway sponsorship is open to all in the UK, subject to satisfying both university entrance requirements and Government standards for entry to the Merchant Navy.
RISK STATEMENT
The Trustees review the Trust's exposure to risk each year. In particular they review the arrangements for the amelioration of financial risk and fraud at its Investment Managers, its Accountants and Trinity/Chiltern Maritime Ltd, its Training Managers. The Trust is content that the present arrangements are working well. The Trust is satisfied with the various procedures and protections in place, including insurance cover.
RESTRICTION ON THE CHARITY'S OPERATIONS
The income and property shall be applied solely towards the promotion of its objects as set out in its Memorandum of Association.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The Trust has continued to recruit, train and support individuals who meet the entry standards for Merchant Navy Deck and Engineer Officers and the relevant academic standards for degree level education at Liverpool John Moores’s University (LJMU) and the Fleetwood Nautical Campus. Captain L Hesketh (Trustee) is the Trust’s Training Manager. This role includes recruiting and selecting candidates as well as mentoring them throughout their training. Recruitment and training management as well as costs are shared with Trinity House, also a training sponsor.
During the COVID-19 pandemic all trainees have been contacting the Training Manager weekly. Since March, all have kept safe and well. Lectures at Liverpool John Moores University are continuing as a combination of on-line tuition and face to face learning in compliance with Government guidelines.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
The last two cadets of the 2017 intake of 4 Trainees left university in September and while one has a job the other is taking re-sits of oral exams. The three from the 2018 intake are this year in the final part of their training. They have completed their shipboard experience and MNTB training record books. All are making satisfactory progress and have gained valuable experience on a variety of ships.
The September 2019 entry of 2 trainees have started phase 4 of their training at Fleetwood. Both are making satisfactory progress; one has joined a Royal Navy Ship for an RN Cadet training course the other is ‘standing by’ a ship in dry dock. Both return to Fleetwood in 2022.
In September 2020, the Trust engaged one deck and one engineer trainee. Both have settled in well and have commenced lectures in line with government guidelines after satisfactorily completing their initial sea voyages.
In September 2021 two new cadets join us and will commence studies at Fleetwood.
During the year, Captain L. Hesketh has liaised with the various organisations concerned with the cadets training and welfare, including colleges, training providers and the Merchant Navy Training Board. Due to COVID-19 this has mostly been via e-mail. Mid-year concern was raised about the performance of the Training Provider used by CMNT and Trinity House after a management shake-up and the situation has been closely monitored.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Expenditure in the year (apart from administrative expenditure) has been applied solely to the objects of the Charity. During the year there was a surplus of £194,592 (2020: deficit of £114,973) after net realised and unrealised gains on investments of £205,102 (2020: loss of £126,734). Investments have been included at market value in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the Trust's intention to continue to hold investments for the foreseeable future and to use the income from these to further its objectives. Charity Commission guidance defines free reserves as ‘income which becomes available to the charity and is to be expended at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the charity's objects, but is not yet spent, committed or designated'. At the balance sheet date the charity's free reserves amounted to £108,263 (see note 16) after deducting fixed asset investments, which the Trustees regard as satisfactory in order to avoid any undue disruption to the anticipated level of sponsorship.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees use Quilter Cheviot, (see Risk Statement, p.2), as investment managers. There has been no significant change in the Trust's investment policy during the year and the Trust has remained fully invested except for the retention in cash of a small amount of capital to make up any shortfall of income over charitable expenditure. The Trust continues to endeavour to finance its education and training activities from income and from Government grants, whilst over the longer term aiming to maintain the real value of its investments.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Trust plans to continue the objectives and activities that are currently set out on pages 2 & 3. As agreed last year officer trainees’ costs are shared equally between the Trust and Trinity House. As detailed in note 21 to the financial statements, the charity currently has commitments for funding trainees up to 2024/25.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
LEGAL STATUS
The Conway Merchant Navy Trust is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 25 April 1963 and is registered as a charity. The company's registration number is 758795 and its registered charity number is 526577. It is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.
TRUSTEES
The "Committee of Management" is responsible for the management of the charity. The Trustees are appointed by the Committee of Management. The person appointed may be, but need not be, a member of the Committee of Management. Currently, each Trustee is a member of the Committee of Management. Each Trustee is also a member and Director of the Company.
Any Trustee can nominate a new Trustee. This nomination is examined by the Trust as a whole and the appointment is by a majority vote at a general meeting. There is no specific organisational structure and individual Trustees carry out particular functions voluntarily as and when required.
The day to day running of the charity is controlled by Mr M B Burrow (Chairman) and Mr D J Weight (Trustee). Captain Leslie Hesketh (Trustee) mentors the trainees and liaises with Liverpool John Moore’s University, Fleetwood Nautical Campus, Trinity House and the Training Managers.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The trustees (who are also directors of The Conway Merchant Navy Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102);
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
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 responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.
