Objectives and aims

The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following:

1. The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for rowing, sculling and other sports;

2. Providing and assisting in providing facilities for sport, recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life; and

3. Advancing the education of children and young people through such means as the directors think fit in accordance with the charities act 2011.

Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives

Charitable Activities

The charity is a community sports club specialising in rowing but also working with partner organisations to offer alternative water sports on the River Wear in Durham City. The Charity provides facilities and equipment to enable all users to access the sport from beginner level up to national standard.

The club previously operated through an unincorporated association, which was a Community Amateur Sports Club but not a charity. Durham Amateur Rowing Club entered a new era on 1

April 2022 when, having acquired the assets and liabilities of the old unincorporated association, the Charity took over the operation of Durham Amateur Rowing Club.

As a charity, Durham Amateur Rowing Club 1860 Limited has newly defined objectives as set out above. As such, the club now has philanthropic ambitions and responsibilities which go beyond the objectives of the old unincorporated association.

The Charity owns the freehold site at Green Lan. On 8 th November 2022 the Charity also purchased the neighbouring freehold site, titled ‘land at Green Lane’ from Browns Coalyard Limited. It has made a number of long term undertakings to Sport England under the agreement for funding and holds charges upon the assets by Sport England and Lloyds bank.

A key aspect of trying to increase participation is to recognise that for some people, cost is a barrier. The Charity is committed to trying to remove or reduce any such barriers by not setting membership subscriptions and course fees at levels which seek to fully cover the associated costs and by offering reduced fees as appropriate.

Throughout the year the charity continued to provide sporting facilities and education, focussing on rowing activities and alternative water sports on the River Wear in Durham City.

The main events of the year were the Durham City Regatta and the Durham Small Boats Head.

Financial review

Income from membership subscriptions and members racking increased to £96,489 from £89,137 in the prior year with Corporate Membership increasing to £5,993 from £2,867.

The club also runs a series of learn to row courses over the year as well as benefitting from the hire of its facilities. The club is well placed to meet the high demand for a wide range of courses. An ongoing review by one of the focus groups is looking at the pathway and integration of new members joining with a view to increasing retention from learn to row course and conversion to full memberships.

The club has been succus in obtaining rant funding towards new gym equipment, sculls and stroke coaches during the year. Of particular note is funding of over £8k from Northern Cancer Alliance to offer learn to row activities as part of pre-habilitation cancer care.

The club benefits from fund raising from its open events Durham City Regatta, Durham Autumn SBH & Durham SBH. The clubs open events continue to be very well supported and contributed £27.7k net of costs to the clubs finances.

The club, along with the wider economy, continues to face a broad number of inflationary pressures across its cost base. However, it tries to maintain membership subscriptions as low as possible to ensure participation is affordable to as many people as possible.

The cub has a continuing need to continue to invest in our rowing fleet and equipment. The club has made investment in equipment of £29,580 during the year. As with previous years, this has been made from surplus funds supplemented with some grants. This investment included a new Stampfli 4x-, 2 nd had Stampfli 4x-, £4.7k on new oars / sculls and over £3k on new gym equipment which was largely grant funded.

The overall financial result for the year was an excess of expenditure over income of £284.

Going concern

The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity is able to operate for the foreseeable future, on the basis of the level of reserve balances held.

Reserves policy

The Trustees monitor the finances of the Charity on a regular basis.

The Trustees have determined that the appropriate level of free reserves, which were £45,217, should be equivalent to, and not less than, three months running costs, which equates to £53,963. As at 31 March 2025 reserves were below this target. Our policy is therefore to increase the reserves (which are carried forward for future activities) to at least this level.

The trustees have ensured the unrestricted funds have been used to develop the sustainability of the charity.

The results for the year are set out on page 6.

Incoming resources totalled £228,009. This is an increase of £11,644 compared to last year.

Resources expended totalled £228,293, which is an increase of £11,517 compared to 2024.

Overall, a deficit of £284 has occurred in the financial year. This is after non-cash depreciation charges of £39,610.

The trustees are satisfied with the level of performance in the year. Unrestricted funds were £1,407,028 and the trustees are satisfied with the overall position.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- 5 -

The trustees (who are also the directors of Durham Amateur Rowing Club 1860 Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

- 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 charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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 .

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DURHAM AMATEUR ROWING CLUB 1860 LIMITED
- 6 -

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Durham Amateur Rowing Club 1860 Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

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

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 charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.

2

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3

the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4

the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

Accounting policies
Charity information

Durham Amateur Rowing Club 1860 Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Durham Amateur Rowing Club, City Boathouse, Green Lane, Durham, Co. Durham, DH1 3JU.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4
Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

- Voluntary income is received by way of grants and donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

- Investment income is included when receivable.

- Rental income is recorded when it is receivable.

- Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

- 10 -
1.5
Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings
Straight line over 50 years
Land
not provided
Boats and oars
Straight line over 10 years
Fixtures and fittings
Straight line over 10 years
Motor vehicles
25% on reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7
Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.8
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10
Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11
Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12
Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13

Investments

Investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
