Structure, governance and management (continued)

d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
 

New Trustees are made aware of the purposes and aims of the Charity, as well as their general and specific duties, as determined by the Principal Trustee. They are also provided with a copy of ‘The Good Trustee Guide’ and the guidance "It's your decision: charity trustees and decision making". New Trustees are expected to familiarise themselves with all the activities of the Charity.
Training requirements are constantly monitored in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines.

During the year the Charity received donations of £10,000 (2023 - £5,000) from Trustees of the Charity.

Objectives and activities
 

a. Policies and objectives
 

The principal objects of the Charity are specifically restricted to the establishment of a trust fund to encourage participation in healthy recreational activity for members of the communities of Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham and Westminster through the provision of football. 
 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
 

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
 

During the period, the Trustees undertook a variety of activities in order to raise awareness of the Charity, its activities and projects with local communities and online retailers to generate regularised donations to support these initiatives.
 

Achievements and performance
 

a. Main achievements of the Company
 

The Trustees are pleased with the result of fundraising activities, and the level of reserves that have been built up over the course of the financial year.
They are also satisfied that the group of beneficiaries of the Charity was expanded with the addition of a second Men’s Team.
 

Financial review
 

a. Going concern
 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
 

b. Reserves policy
 

The Charity maintains a general fund from which the charitable activities will be executed. As at 30 April 2024 the Charity had free reserves in the general fund of £45,715 (2023 - £15,490).
The Trustees consider it appropriate to hold unrestricted funds of at least £10,000 to provide support for future projects. The minimum level of reserves for the ongoing needs of the Charity is reviewed by the trustees on an annual basis.
 

c. Material investments policy
 

There are no restrictions on the Charity’s power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees to take account of recent demand for funds and the quality of the funding applications. The Trustees apply the capital and income of the trust fund for such charitable purposes as they think fit at their discretion.

Financial review (continued)

d. Principal funding
 

Total income for the year was £84,523 (2023 - £65,808) and total expenditure for the year was £54,298 (2023 - £67,796).
The principal funding resources were donations of £77,914 (2023 - £56,930), trading income of £4,534  (2023: £8,878), and other non-trading income of £1,941 (2023- £nil).
 

Members' liability
 

The Members of the Company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Company in the event of winding up.
 

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report 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 . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.


The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.3

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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

  
2.4

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

  
2.5

Debtors

Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

  
2.6

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.


2.7

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

  
2.8

Financial instruments

The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
