REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
The charity's purposes (objects) are for the public benefit generally but with particular reference to the inhabitants of Barwell and Leicester and its surrounding areas: |
-3.1 to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of sports capable of improving fitness and health (facilities in this article 3 (objects) means land, buildings, equipment and organising sporting activities); |
-3.2 to advance amateur sport by promoting such sports or games which promote health by involving physical or mental skill or exertion and which are undertaken on an amateur basis; |
-3.3 to provide and assist in the provision of facilities for sport, recreation and other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, 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 |
-3.4 to advance the education of the public, in particular, children and young people (including their physical and academic education) by such means as the trustees may from time to time determine. |
Significant activities |
The management of and hiring out of a 3G football pitch at Barwell sports complex. |
The trustees extend their thanks to the key funders who made this possible: |
-The Football Foundation |
-The Football Stadia Improvement Fund |
-All the local individuals and businesses who donated towards the project |
Public benefit |
The trustees have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the charity commission on public benefit. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
The 3G pitch at Barwell sports complex now has regular bookings throughout the week. This includes local ladies, junior and amateur teams. Over 900 people per week benefit from the facility. A partnership has been established with Leicester City FC in the community and two football camps have been held in school holidays for local young people. |
Volunteers, along with our own volunteers and an outside contractor, maintain the facility to the required legal standard for use by all users. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
The accounts show a deficit in the year. This is due to the depreciation on the pitch. |
The day to day running of the pitch has operated at a surplus. |
The charity has total funds carried forward of £445,871 (2023: £473,040) made up of unrestricted funds of £25,520 (2023: £20,205), designated funds of £32,000 (2023: £16,000) and restricted funds of £388,351 (2023: £436,835). |
This includes cash reserves of £33,095 (2023: £29,397). |
At the year end the unrestricted reserves were a surplus. |
BARWELL SPORTS TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13264923) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
A clear policy by the trustees is to hold funds for the future resurfacing of the facility estimated in 10 years time, it has been suggested by the football foundation that £25,000 per year needs to be allocated into a sinking fund. |
The trustees agreed that £16,000 will be allocated to the Sinking fund this year. |
FUTURE PLANS |
The charity intends to continue work with the local community providing footballing facilities to local clubs, groups and individuals through rent of the 3G pitch. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
Trustees are chosen if they reflect the ethos of the sports trust and are involved in local sport in the Barwell community. |
Induction and training of new trustees |
There are no formal policies or procedures in place with respect to the induction and training of trustees, which is undertaken as and when considered beneficial to the Charity. However, upon appointment all trustees are made aware of their responsibilities and are referred to the appropriate charity commission guidance for trustees. |
Risk management |
The trustees perceive the only significant risk to the charity is if demand for and bookings of the pitch were to fall. However, there are the agreements noted in this report with Barwell Football Club and Leicester City in the Community which mitigate this, and following Euro 2024 taking place post year-end, the pitch has been fully booked. |
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. |

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. |
These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
The financial statements cover the individual entity. |
The entity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. |
There are no material uncertainties with going concern. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Income from grants, and government grants, is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions are met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses on acquisition. |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: |
3G Pitch | 10% on cost |
Fixtures and Fittings | 4-20% on cost |
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
BARWELL SPORTS TRUST |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
At each reporting date, fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. |
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement. |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. |
Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
There are no critical accounting judgements or estimation uncertainty that, in the opinion of the trustees, will have a material effect on the financial statements. |

This cost was paid from the general fund. In April 2023, grant funding was received from The Football Foundation and Football Stadia Improvement Fund to cover this cost and therefore the monies spent from the general fund in respect of this retention have been transferred back. |
