Report of the Trustees |
for the Period 1 May 2023 to 31 May 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 period 1 May 2023 to 31 May 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 promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Tenbury Wells. Worcestershire, by the provision of facilities for playing Rugby Union Football. |
Significant activities |
The trustees main activities each year are the continued provision of facilities and opportunities for playing rugby football union. |
Public benefit |
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity's objectives and in planning future activities. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
During the year ended 31 May 2024, the Club had a steady season with both teams having success. The trustees have put on a number of events during the year, namely Ladies Day, Sponsors Day and Vice Presidents Day, all of which have been instrumental in generating funds for the club. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
During the thirteen months to 31 May 2024, the Charity generated income of £40,843 (2023: £33,419) and had expenditure of £30,141 (2023: £29,080) resulting in net income £10,702 (2023: £4,339). |
Reserves policy |
The trustees have reviewed the risks of the Charity during the period and have recognised the impact the pandemic had on the charity's incoming resources in previous years. The trustees consider the current reserves policy of maintaining free reserves equivalent to three months expenditure, to still be appropriate, as this allows time to either secure further funding or take other necessary steps to allow the charity to continue to provide the essential service to the local area. |
Based on current expenditure, free reserves per the policy should be £13,000. At 31 May 2024 free reserves amounted to £65,929 (2023: £55,227) and therefore, the trustees have deemed reserves to be of a satisfactory level. They will continue to monitor the risks and reserves held by the charity and consider funds held in conjunction with other projects that the trustees may consider for the future. |
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 |
Where there is a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified by the remaining trustees. The chairman is responsible for the induction of any new trustee, which involves trustee's responsibility, the governing document and administrative procedures. |
Risk management |
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. |
