## **CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025**
I am happy to report that PIRSAC continues to grow and develop, both in its operation and the skills that our crews are demonstrating.
During this period, our lifeboat received five call outs from HMCG Belfast and assisted a total of 12 people, ensuring their safety. As weather conditions become increasingly extreme, our team has carried out numerous day and night patrols, such as those during Storm Eowyn in January, to monitor high winds and tides, check for damage or flooding, and keep our community safe. Because we depend on local support and funding, we believe it is essential to safeguard our community not just at sea, but at all times. Special recognition goes to the crew members who performed these patrols under challenging and and at times hazardous circumstances.
In addition the crew, off station and at a social event, saw a paddle boarder in distress at sea, contacted the HMCG in Belfast and then responded and effected a rescue. The BBQ may have been spoiled, but a life was saved.
PIRSAC's trading arm, The View, remains a highly successful operation, contributing significantly to both community services and the tourism industry, while also serving as an important source of funding for the lifeboat service. Employing up to 15 staff members seasonally, it is recognised as one of the largest employers in the area.
The project to expand the premises is ongoing; communications with funders are lengthy but progressing. Partial funding for phase 1 was received and work completed and we are now securing the remainder to establish a budget and pursue capital funding.
Recruitment for the boat, shore, and support crews has been good. Support crew roles are getting filled, ensuring chores are handled promptly and all equipment and the station remain in good condition. Training has progressed well this year. Initially led by a training officer, it is now overseen by experienced crew members. Several crew attended a residential weekend in Rhu, earning qualifications that boosted our number of qualified helmspersons. Due to the success of this training, the company has been contracted for an additional six months to further develop the crew and advance their qualifications.
Generally, we feel in the last 12 months we have received a huge amount of public support for our charity. Donations have been excellent, with a local hostelry regularly making substantial donations and a local caravan park now supporting the operation. Other establishments continue to support through collecting cans and fundraising events. We extend our thanks and appreciation to all our supporters who continue to contribute to our funds. The need to search for funding will continue, which will assist with the ongoing running costs, future training schedules and the development of a recruiting policy.
I'd like to recognise the ongoing practice by the crew of sharing a visual report after each shout, along with a donate button on Facebook. This regularly brings in around £75, which likely covers the fuel expenses. That's a great achievement, well done!
The organisation experienced sorrow this year due to the passing of our director, former chairman and friend, George McKenzie MBE, in the summer. George was widely recognised as the de facto face of PIRSAC. It was his wish that he be escorted to his final resting place by the boat and crew. This was carried out with dignity and respect, drawing many favourable comments from mourners and Georges family alike. I can say I have never been prouder of an organisation and, in particular, its members as I was that day.
Serving as chairman of this organisation is truly an honour. The ongoing support and congratulations we receive reflect the incredible life-saving efforts we achieve together. I sincerely appreciate my fellow board members for their dedication over the past year, especially given how busy many of them are outside their commitment to PIRSAC.
In closing, on behalf of the board of directors, I extend my heartfelt thanks to each member for their invaluable service and commitment, and to every staff member at The View for their outstanding work, dedication and humour.
Kenny Barr Chairman

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PORT WILLIAM INSHORE RESCUE SERVICE**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 May 2025 set out on pages six to sixteen.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
