FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
The Trustees present their annual report for the Godmanchester Football and Sports Association Trust (the Trust) for
the year ended 31st March 2025.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the 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), as modified by the
exemptions for small charities provided in Update Bulletin 1.
OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT
The objectives of the Trust are to provide and organise facilities which will enable and encourage pupils and students
(and by extension other members of the public) to play football or other games and sports and so assist in ensuring
that due attention is given to the physical education and development of such pupils.
The Trust has secured a long term lease over football fields for the purpose of fulfilling it's objectives.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance issued by the Charities Commission on public benefit
when reviewing the Trust's aims and future plans.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trust is an unincorporated charity governed by a Trust Deed.
The Trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of the Trust and meet regularly to achieve this.
New Trustees are invited on the board from time to time when appropriate skill gaps are identified or vacancies need
filling. New Trustees are appropriately briefed on their responsibilities and directed to the necessary literature and
guidance required to fulfil their roles.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the Trust successfully secured funding from Huntingdonshire District Council for the improvements
of existing facilities of the football club building and access. The grants received have been passed over to the club
in full.
The Trustees signed a lease that runs from 20th June 2002 for 99 years at a peppercorn rent.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trust received grant income from Huntingdonshire District Council of £82,520 (2024: ENil) which has been put
towards the costs of the Godmanchester Rovers FC. The Trust also received bequests of £14,100 (2024: £Nil)
during the year. It expended £96,484 (2024: £NIl) on repairing and improving the Godmanchester Football Club
buildings. It also incurred administration costs of £761.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the Trust to hold sufficient reserves to meet its objectives in the medium term. To date as the Trust
has engaged in little financial activity no reserves had been considered necessary. In the medium ter the Trustees
would like to build up a reserve to assist with repairs and improvements not covered by externally sourced grants. The
Trustees considered a level of £10,000 to be desirable in the medium term.
