RECREATION AND EASY ACCESS FOR DISABLED YOUTH
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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
The charity's objects are to raise money to help young people with disabilities play sport and take part in healthy activities for fun and fitness. The charity is run entirely by volunteers. For over two decades the charity has helped hundreds of children, teenagers and young adults with grants for a variety of sports equipment, including racing wheelchairs, basketball wheelchairs, blind cricket equipment, access ramps, bespoke prosthetics, seated skis, team kits, racing gloves, specialist hearing aids, gym equipment, bicycles, swimming lessons, riding lessons, facilities and transport and ponies. The trustees are unanimously of the belief that the grants made by the charity have an often life-changing impact on the life and well-being of the beneficiary.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
The year 2020 will now be remembered for the dark cloud which descended upon it in the form of a seemingly unstoppable and lethal virus. The trustees emerged from our first meeting of the year in 2020 knowing that there was a risk to holding our first fund raising event, the READY Golf Day at Fulwell Golf Club scheduled for April 2020, which inevitably was cancelled in response to the lockdown directives.
Consequently, and for the remainder of the year, there was very limited activity in terms of fundraising and receiving grant applications. Also the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 were postponed, although thankfully rescheduled for 2021, where once again one could witness the success of some Paralympian friends of READY. It is encouraging to report that since the end of 2020 the charity is returning to a semblance of normality in fund raising and responding to a gradually increasing flow of grant applications. Following a highly successful three-year association with Berkeley Homes Central London, having come to an end in 2019, it is the intention of the charity to explore some new associations for the future to regenerate a healthier flow of funding. It was also important during the ‘quiet’ year to address some administrative and management matters, not least to re-evaluate the governance and practices of the Charity. As such, the trustees were conscious of regular guidance from the Charity Commission and as a result sought advice from a specialist who was subsequently instructed to update the Charity’s governing document as an amended trust filed with the Charity Commission in November 2020. The trustees take the opportunity here to thank Mrs. Debbie Aplin, who as an esteemed and long-serving trustee has resigned.
Financial review
At the balance sheet date the charity's reserves stood at £119,397 (2019: £107,108).
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at £5,000. The charity does not have any fixed costs so this level of reserves is considered sufficient.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

RECREATION AND EASY ACCESS FOR DISABLED YOUTH
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Recreation and Easy Access for Disabled Youth is a charitable trust.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received and not discounted.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid and not discounted.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid and not discounted.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
