- Affirmed
“The Trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity including assumptions about future costs and income, and the forecast cash flow through to March 2027. They judge that the assumptions are prudent and realistic; this judgement is informed by the Board's practice throughout the year of routinely reviewing CHIRP's main sources of income, main costs and cost drivers, and relationships with key funders, and Trustees' own expert knowledge of the external environment. The Trustees are confident that routine reporting at Board meetings will enable timely monitoring of the actual income and costs, and that in the event of a reduction in income or unexpected cost, the charity will have time and capacity to cut costs in line with this. They therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The collapse of the Baltimore Bridge because of a collision by a large container vessel was the catalyst for a collaborative project with CROSS (Collaborative Reporting for Safer Structures) to publish a report about the risks of bridge strikes by large vessels, which prompted several large ports (including Rotterdam, Singapore, and Sydney Harbour) to introduce new or revised navigational safety procedures and monitoring systems as a result.”
- “Changes of personnel during the year and were sorry to say goodbye to Steve Forward as Aviation Director as he took retirement, grateful to him for the incredible work of the past four years but also very pleased to welcome Nicky Smith to the team as his replacement. At the end of the year, Phil Young our Engineering Programme Manager also took retirement, handing over his excellent work to Kuldeep Nothey's able hands.”
- “During 2024-2025, CHIRP saw some changes in its Executive team with the return of the Admin and Finance Manager from maternity leave in June 2024 and the retirement of the Aviation Director after 4 highly successful years with the charity, handing over to a new Director in January 2025.”
- “CHIRP's Engineering Programme Manager also retired at the end of the year, handing over to an experienced new contractor for the programme.”
