| DERBYSHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08637798) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Financial position |
| Fundraising |
| Section 162A of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. The legislation defines fundraising as "soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes". Such amounts are presented in our financial statements within "Donations and Legacies" which includes donations from individual supporter and corporate donations. |
| The day to day management of all income generated is delegated to the executive staff team who act under authority delegated by the Trustees. |
| We have received no complaints in relation to our fundraising activity for the year under review. |
| Results for the period |
| The statement of financial activities shows a net deficit of income over expenditure of £31,179 (2023: £1,914 Surplus). Total net assets at 30 September 2024 amounted to £154,183 (2023: £185,362), represented by unrestricted funds of £107,701 (2023: £98,927) and restricted funds of £46,482 (2023: £86,435). |
| The DCF have a robust budgeting process in place managed by the Managing Director (Richard Wood), which has provided transparency throughout the year enabling the board of Trustees to make informed decisions relating to financial management. |
| Reserves policy |
| The Foundation will set aside a sum by way of a reserve against unforeseen contingencies. This sum will be used in the event of the organisation being threatened with closure, for redundancy payments, to cover long term sickness liabilities and maternity pay. The Trustees have carried out a review of the DCF reserves policy and taking into account the recent financial performance and the security of funding over the next 4 years, the Foundation will seek to maintain free reserves equivalent to three month's budgeted fixed operating costs. |
| The Trustees consider free reserves to be those assets that could be converted into cash in the short term should the need arise (net current assets). |
| The Charitable Company does not own any land and currently has relatively small overheads -namely the salary costs of the full-time employees plus fixed service costs. It provides funding to projects and initiatives based on funds that are currently held or have been committed. |
| The Trustees wish to hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet a minimum of 3 months of forward committed non-discretionary cash expenditure. Predominately this is the payroll cost of staff members and fixed service costs. This currently equates to £162,273 and at 30 September 2024, unrestricted free reserves stood at £107,701. |
| The free reserves are presently below the required amount to maintain 3 months of forwarded committed costs, and the Foundation is committed to increasing the free reserve to meet the 3 months provision by the end of 2028. |
| DERBYSHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08637798) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| Derbyshire Cricket Foundation Limited, also known as DCF, is a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles dated 24 December 2013 as amended 29 August 2024. The company was originally named The Cricket Derbyshire Community Foundation on incorporation. Its name was changed with effect from 24 December 2013 to the Cricket Derbyshire Foundation and then finally changed again to Derbyshire Cricket Foundation Limited on 9th October 2019. The company became a registered charity on 14 February 2014. |
| The Trustees' function is to set policy and they are responsible for the conduct of the Charity's affairs and for ensuring that the charity operates in accordance with all statutory and regulatory guidance. |
| Governance |
| Governance of the DCF is required to comply with a County Governance Framework defined by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and which corresponds to the Sport England Code for Sports Governance (2017). The ECB County Governance Framework refers to seven key principles outlined below, and includes detailed requirements for each of the principles. |
| 1. Robust and Effective Structures - Organisations shall be properly constituted and have a clear and appropriate governance structure, led by a Board. The Board and any committees shall be properly constituted and shall operate effectively. |
| 2. Responsible Leadership - The Board is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the organisation and therefore leading the strategy, culture, and values of an organisation. The role of the Board and Executive should be clearly defined. |
| 3. Effective and Inclusive Boards - Organisations shall be inclusive and follow formal recruitment processes to engage people with appropriate diversity of skills, experience, and backgrounds to take effective decisions that further the organisation's goals. |
| 4. Good practices and behaviours - Organisations shall follow good governance practices, uphold high standards of behaviour, and engage in regular and effective evaluation to drive continuous improvement. |
| 5. Transparency, Accountability, and Engagement - Organisations shall show appropriate transparency and accountability, engaging effectively with stakeholders and nurturing internal democracy. |
| 6. Risk, Assurance and Stewardship - Boards shall be the stewards of an organisation and ensure appropriate risk management, financial planning and associated procedures are undertaken. |
| 7. Legal and Regulatory Compliance - Organisations shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations and ECB Rules, Regulations, and County Partnership Agreement standards. Organisations shall be accountable for delivering their duties, including required reporting, in an appropriate and timely fashion. |
| The ECB stipulates certain minimum requirements that needed to be attained for each of these principles. Performance against these requirements is reviewed annually by the ECB. In the review for 2023/24 the DCF met all these requirements, and was rated as a "leading county" for Governance by the ECB. |
| The DCF governance structure includes Board committees with delegated powers of the board, and includes a Safeguarding Committee that meets at least twice a year. Safeguarding is also an agenda item at every Board meeting, and anonymised data on Safeguarding performance and trends is presented and reviewed at every Board meeting. All DCF Staff and Trustees have confirmed their understanding of the ECB Safeguarding Policy (Safe Hands), and their responsibilities for Safeguarding. A Trustee has designated lead responsibility for Safeguarding, and is Chair of the Safeguarding Committee (Robert Blenkinsop). |
| Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is integral to the DCF objective to widen and increase participation in cricket. The DCF has an EDI plan which is reviewed and published annually, and a report on progress against that plan is also published annually. Progress against the 2024 EDI Plan was reviewed at Board meetings during the year. The Board includes a Trustee with lead responsibility for EDI (Robert Blenkinsop). The progress made on EDI by the DCF during 2023/24 resulted in a "leading county" rating by the ECB. |
| DERBYSHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08637798) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
| The DCF is committed to maintaining diversity of skills, experience, and lived experience on the Board. We believe that diversity on the Board is important to providing effective governance, including but not limited to gender, ethnic diversity, age, disability, social background and skills, and should reflect our local demographics and our objective to widen the reach of cricket by engaging with new and more diverse communities. We are committed to maintaining a board with at least 30% representation of each gender and maintaining representation of ethnic diversity that at least reflects the ethnic representation of Derbyshire. |
| During the reporting year the Trustees continued to provide appropriate governance of the DCF through regular Board meetings. |
| Board meetings were held on the following dates: |
| 7th December 2023 (Annual Review) |
| 29th February 2024 |
| 25th April 2024 |
| 4th July 2024 |

| Insurance effected for Trustees and Directors |

| Trustee remuneration |
| No Trustees, or person with a family or business connection with a Trustee, received remuneration in the period, directly or indirectly, from the Foundation. |
| Remuneration Policy |
| Remuneration of the members of staff is determined by the Board of Trustees. The pay structure for all employees and the level of any annual cost of living increase, takes into account appropriate benchmarks and prevailing inflation rates. |
| Management |
| The day to day running of the Charitable Company is delegated to the Managing Director. Assisting with the running of the organisation is the senior leadership team, made up of staff covering all areas of the charities activities and programmes. |
| Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |

| Subject to the exceptions set out below, a director shall, subject to article 26 (Disqualification and Removal of Directors), hold office for 3 year terms, up to a maximum of 3 consecutive terms, after which time, the directors shall retire from office. |
| The exceptions referred to above are: |

| b) The Chair shall be appointed for a maximum of 6 years (subject to 24.a) |
| c) A director appointed in an Ex Officio capacity may serve on the Board for the duration of their holding the relevant office. |
| The DCF Nominations Committee meets each year to review the membership of the Board, the skills and experience of the current Trustees relative to those required on the Board, and the potential need to recruit Trustees. The DCF Nominations Committee met in February and September 2024, and agreed recruitment priorities for 2025. It also reviewed the status of succession planning for the roles of Managing Director and Chair. In September 2024 the Nominations Committee and the DCF Board approved the appointment of Robert Blenkinsop to serve a further term as Chair up to May 2028. The Nominations Committee also noted that one trustee will complete their third 3 year term of office during 2025, and under the current Articles of Association, will need to retire as Trustee (Rachel Flinn). |
| Induction and training of new trustees |
| Trustees undertake an induction which includes a full briefing on the finances of the Charitable Company, an overview of the structure and strategy of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation. Trustees are provided with a code of conduct, roles and responsibilities and relevant policy documents including the DCF Safeguarding Policy and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy. |

| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2024. |
| Responsibilities and basis of report |
| As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). |
| Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. |
| Independent examiner's statement |
| Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. |
| I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
| 1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
| 2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
| 3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or |
| 4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). |
| I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |
