### Year Ending: 31 January 2026

Company activities and impact

7924 people in total in sessions and hire (including repeat customers) estimating 3788 individuals in lessons came last year. This breaks down to 1381 coastal explorers, 4827 surfing, 1173 bodyboarding, 463 SUP, 641 rock-pooling, 19 snorkelling, 740 in private lessons, 618 in adaptive sessions. This last year we worked with 38 schools (reaching 2373 school children) and 57 community groups (1598 people accessing through community groups). We’ve had fewer groups and schools this year but more people as we’ve had longer term engagement and bookings. We provided 1489 free surfing places for 562 individuals through 350 sessions. 1054 instances of individual hire 50 kids benefited from our weekly SEN surf club for children aged 8-16 using 290 spaces in the sessions with an average attendance of 9.3 per week and maximum of 18. Increase on last year of 43 kids with average attendance slightly down 12 people benefited from our weekly SEN surf club for children aged 16-24 using 64 spaces in the sessions with an average attendance of 2 per week and maximum of 6. 22 local students on free school meals surfed for free over 18 sessions using 92 spaces. 141 women and girls attended 30 free surf sessions using 287 spaces for free. 38 Young Carers attended 26 sessions using 157 spaces for free. 39 individuals from minority ethnic backgrounds surfed and paddle boarded for free using 301 spaces over 30 sessions. One participant is now training to become an instructor 64 children accessed our holiday surf lessons through the Holiday Activity and Food Programme, using 147 spaces through 24 sessions. 15 different people benefited from our subsidised adult wellbeing session. 63 Veterans are registered with the Sea Company project with average weekly attendance of 6 people. Increase of 28 people and up 50% on regular attendees. 197 people with disabilities came surfing with our adaptive surf offer using 373 spaces. Over 18 volunteers helping us out but only an average of 6 regular volunteers. We funded and trained 12 new qualified lifeguard staff plus 6 renewals. We ran 2 beach lifeguard courses and 1 surf coach rescue for 19 new candidates and 5 renewals 4 new surf coaches. 32 regular attendees in our community kids surf club. Provided lifeguard cover for SAS protest paddle out against water pollution and Northumbrian Water and was a speaker at the event. We act as a point of information/safety for the public at the beach - particularly when the lifeguards are not on duty and have been directly involved in 3 water rescues and 5 first aid incidents involving 10 people accessing the beach/ocean independently of us. Ran the Autumn Beach Festival with 18 organisations including the national trust. We estimate that over 1000 people attended the event each day. We collected data again from our participants on the impact of our sessions via a questionnaire for those attending our SEN sessions, our adaptive surfing sessions, our women's surf sessions and our adult wellbeing sessions. I’ve added this to the data from the information collected last year and now have 126 responses. 90% of respondents said they wouldn’t be able to access an alternative or similar service. This increases to 93% if just looking at provision for SEN and and 97% for physical disabilities. 100% said that they enjoyed our sessions. 97% said they learned something. The 3 who did not said it was about sensory experience due to PMLD 99% said it benefited their wellbeing in a significant and positive way. 73% of people said that the sessions benefited them in their lives outside of surfing in a positive way.

Consultation with stakeholders

We work with our local organisations and groups to create projects that serve our community, in some cases we are approached by the community to create these projects like our adaptive surfing for people which this year developed into the para-surfing club because people asked us to. In others we approach them asking how we can serve like in our diversity group where we worked with CREST and the local mosque in the previous year to see how to help encourage more people to gain the benefits of our sessions and then this year grew into having an individual of the global majority community manage the sessions to improve representation as was reported to us from our participants. In day to day operations we have encouraged all participants to leave reviews of their experiences and listen to their feedback. We also ask verbally all clients about the experiences they had, and record this in the session reports. We work with groups that come down consulting via email prior to trips to make sure that they get the trip that they need, and create bespoke programmes for them and resources. We then follow up after to see what experience they had and use this in future courses. We use a designated feedback form for this process. We send out a general feedback from at the end of our busy season to find out what we need to improve on. We got participant, parent and group leaders in our pay it forward scheme to fill out feedback and experience forms (seen in the previous question) We have used wellbeing questionnaires and have shown across all measures beneficial improvements from our activities for our participants. We have an online public feedback form available via our website and Facebook page.
