It’s historical importance is recognised by being a part of the National Historic Fleet. This is the highest level of recognition as defined by the National Historic Ships organisation. In the past Provident has been operated by charities or clubs which helped to provide sailing opportunities for people who may not ordinarily have access to this type of experience. Provident is now owned by Angels Share Sailing Holidays Ltd. a company that operates holiday voyages aboard the boat, mainly on the Scottish West Coast. The company is a tiny operation with limited finances and administrative resources. The Company Director want to continue the tradition of Provident being a provider of great experiences for less affluent or less able people. Their main focus is necessarily on operating the boat in order to make a modest living and to be able to maintain the boat in a good and safe condition. The charity was set up to try to raise money and to be able to offer these experiences to a broader range of people. During the period covered by this report a modest amount of fundraising has taken place by encouraging paying guests to make small donations. The charity intends that in future these funds and funds raised from other sources can be used to provide such opportunities. It is anticipated that this will be in collaboration with other organisations. For example with providers of sail training experiences. **3** ## **Structure, governance and management** Type of governing document Constitution of the Provident Sailing Charitable Trust (SCIO) Trustee recruitment and appointment No Recruitment ## **Achievements and performance** Modest fund-raising undertaken. has completed training to be a RYA Cruising instructor.
