However, the current dilapidated state of some of the premises and facilities is likeFy to require significant and essential capital and expense spend rf not this year, then certainly next. Our reserves are limited following the drainage work required on the fields in 202112022. As a result, the Board is carrying out a review of future options lo Inc￿aSe funding income. lo improve signrficantly the usability of our playing fields and premises. and most importantly lo extend our ¢harilable aclivib'es and deliver improved charitable impacts in line with our Charity Objacls.

TRINITY FIELDS TRUST DIRECTORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 August 2025 Oporational R8view We have made very good progress in the year. ￿ continue to let out our facilities to stste schools and ommunity organisations al discounted rates~ or on a free lo use bagis. Our discounted rates ensure that, relative lo other good quality sports p((ches. we remain affordable, enabling many grassroots sports organisations and sGhool teams lo play competitive matches. We require grassroots clubs to ctxnmil to a p￿dge to increase the dwersty of their participants, with an emphasis on underprivileged children. In addition to our regular weekly bookings, we have hosted Sports Days for local state schools (offering our facilrties al discounted rates) where over 700 children participated. We ran special 8POrting events and tournaments. again for children in local $tate schools, offering our facilities on a free lo use basis. These include". Trinity Shield- A cricket competition for approximately 80 chiklren from state primary schools. Trinity Cup - A football tournam&nl involving approximately 250 children from around 25 primary schcM)Is. Trinity Games A mutti-sport competit￿n in which 230 children in Years 1-3 participated, sometimes for the first timo, in a range of different sport$. Trinity League Cup - A tournament for grassroots clubs looking to give younger gids (aged 7-9 years) a first taste of competf(ive football and encouraging them lo join teams so they can play on a more regular basis in a future season. Inclusion Games-This was a new event, comprising multi-sport activities. Around 60 SEN children from 8 slatè schools participated, with an emphasis on rnotor skill devek)pment, physical exercise in an outdoor environment. socialisalion and fun. We also supported several other charitable inilialives, such 8$ the Wandsworth Street Cricket programme, run in partnership with the Surrey Cricket Foundation, which is free to participants and aims to gwe young people the OPFf)rtvnity to develop their cricket and life skills. Additionally, we ran a HAF I'Holiday$, Activities and Food'l Camps for around 70 children over five weeks during the school holidays. We are proud of the progr8ss made in the last year and, subject to finding the funds lo do so. we will be implementing plans to expand our activities even further In Spring 2026, the Trust will publish ils first ever Impact Report. Roserves pollcy As a charity wa have a duty to spend our resour￿5 on our charitable purposes, bul we also need a ￿Ve1 of ieserves to ensure that we can fulfil our service delniery and our bgal and go(xl management obligations, should we have funding difficulties. The Trustees therefore aim to monitor fluctuations in ineome and expenditure to ensure that the charity not only meets ils present obligations bul can also reasonably cope with these unforeseen circumstances. In the light of this the trustees mairitained their previous decision to set aside sufficiont reserves to allow us to maintain operats'ons for approximately three months of normal trading in the absence ofany other income. As a minimum this should all¢)w us to ensure that, if il becamè necessary lo wind up the operations of th charity, the￿ would be sufficient funds available to meet the li8bilities of the charity towards ts staff and any continuing contracts.

TRINITY FIELDS TRUST DIRECTORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 August 2025 th this in mind, the trustees conts'nue to iecognis8 that such 8 reserve is meaningless unless it is backed by available cash. Therefore, the amounts shown as being at the bank in these accounts include over £90.000 of cash which is ring-fen¢ed. This ca8h is known as a Designated Reserve. There are two other types of reserve.. Unrestricted Reserves are thosè reservès, accLtmulated over time, for which there is no stipulated usa of the funds for th¢ delivery of a particvlaT project or area of work. The balance of the Trust's reserves falls into this category. Restrictèd Reserves are those reserves, aGcumulaled over time. for which there is a slipulaled purpose for the funds. Vvhere budgets identify peaks and troughs in cash flow, the level of the reserves is adjusted aceordingly to ensure the continuanee of the charity 8$ a going concern. The Trustees, wrth the help of management. will keep the reserves policy under review lo ensure that the right balance is mainloined. Furthermore. in keeping with the best practice guidance issued by the Charity Commission, the Trustees will continue lo review the reserves rM)licy, annually. al the same time that the annual budgeting and strategic planning for the year is carried out recognising that strategic and financial planning informs the development of reserves policies and vice versa.
