THE CREW CLUB (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04307540)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 MARCH 2023

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 year ended 29 March 2023. 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 company became a registered charity on 04 August 2003 and its objectives are:

(i) To help children and young persons (under 25's) and their families residing in the eastern part of the City of Brighton and Hove (the City), through the provision of facilities and opportunities that will advance their educational development and provide recreational facilities to improve their conditions of life;

(ii) the relief of unemployment of young persons in the eastern part of the City in such ways as may be deemed to fit the need, including but not limited to assistance to find employment.

Public benefit

In shaping our objectives, and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit. In particular, the Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives that have been set out.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 MARCH 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

We ran our Easter 2022 Programme that provided a range of fun and healthy indoor and outdoor activities including a range of sports, games and arts & crafts. We also introduced our brand new inflatable football court and organized two bike trips on the South Downs. We also held songwriting workshops and an Easter Fair.

After the Easter break we started a new jam packed timetable of activities which over 800 people attended during the year. This included support and play groups for mums and families of under 5s and after school programmes for nursery age and secondary school age children, support groups and gaming for teens and our new breakfast and lunch clubs for all ages including the elderly. The sports offering has continued with free cricket sessions, boxing, dance, tennis, football. We also held weekly drama and music sessions for various age groups and abilities.

As the weather improved moving towards the summer we continued our hugely popular Walk, Talk & Play Buggy Walks led by Lacie Snow which later became our Choose To Move project funded by Sport England. We also started a new Netball group in partnership with England Netball.

Our summer programme included a community barbeque, and a Family Fun Day attended by over 400 people. Over the school holidays we offered cricket camps, bike rides, soccer school and music workshops. We also took over 30 young people on two days trips: Littlehampton Beach and Picnic, and a Swimming and Ice Skating outing to Guildford Spectrum Centre.

Later in the summer our Youth Council were invited for a visit to the Houses of Parliament where they met their local MP Lloyd Russel-Moyle and took part in a Campaigning and Parliament Workshop.

In July we put on our first Year 6 Prom with over 90 young people from 7 different schools attending.

In the autumn of 2022 our new Community Food Worker who began running bi-weekly free breakfast and lunch clubs, set up a food swap shop where local parents can access food and other essential items, as well as clothing and nappies.

We launched a new YouTube channel named 'CrewTube' where we can post regular videos from our young members.

In December the Crew Club put on a range of events including a Christmas Fair, Christmas Lunch for our families and children and our annual Christmas Party for the senior members of the community.

In early 2023 East Brighton Amateur Boxing Club put on a charity sparring night at the Crew Club and raised £3,341 for us.

Our football team, The Crew Club Hawks, has been going from strength to strength and made the Division 5 League and the Cup Final early in 2023.

After the difficulties of 2 years of lockdowns we were thrilled to be getting back to normal and being able to once again engage and provide as much support as possible to our local community.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Trustees note that at the start of 2022-2023 financial year the organisation brought forward £61,145 of unrestricted funds. The carried forward unrestricted figure for end of March 2023 was £92,856.

The restricted funds carried forward at the end of March 2023 year was nil (YE 31 March 2022: £7,210).

In accordance with the Charity's Memorandum of Association it may deposit or invest funds in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining advice from a financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification).

Reserves policy

The Crew Club does not operate a fixed rule on a maximum or minimum level of reserves that should be held. Instead, the trustees consider it is important that they are able to justify their reserves policy as being in the best interest of the charity and consistent with the charity's income and spending commitments.

The trustees are actively aware of the need for reserves and regularly review the reserves policy to ensure it is fit for purpose, that the level of reserves is appropriate to meet the needs of the charity and if there are large reserves, there are good reasons for holding on to funds.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Crew Club was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (Registered number: 04307540) on 19 October 2001. The governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended by Special resolution on 17 July 2003 and subsequently 26 April 2010. The company became a registered charity (Registered charity number 1098853) on 4 August 2003.

Membership of the Charity is open to any individual or organisation interested in promoting and furthering the objectives of the Charity, who has applied to the Charity, has received the approval of the Trustees and signs the Register or consents in writing to becoming a member.

Each of the members is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the company in the event of liquidation of the company whilst they are members or within 12 months of them ceasing to be members.

Under the Articles of Association, Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting for a period of three years after which their position may be reviewed and term ended or extended as benefits the objectives of the Charity.

The Charity is run by a management committee composed of the Trustees who delegate the day to day operation to the staff.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The existing Board of Trustees and Crew Club staff members conduct an annual review of the skills needed to support the charity and current board. Suggestions are made by current trustees and staff for suitable candidates and if no suitable individuals are identified recruitment adverts are placed in local publications.

Candidates are approached by a member of the senior leadership team or submit an expression of interest to the senior leadership team from the advert. They have an informal conversation with a member of the leadership team and are asked to complete an application form. The application form is reviewed by the senior management team and if appropriate the candidate is invited to the Crew Club to see our work in action, meet our staff team and to take a tour around the centre. If there is agreement then the individual is invited to attend the next board meeting as a guest so they can meet our other trustees and ask questions about the role.

If the application of the individual to become a trustee is supported by staff and the existing Board members then the individual is invited back to the Crew Club to start the DBS application process.

At the next trustees meeting a motion is put forward to appoint the individual as a trustee of the charity and our existing trustees' vote. If the motion passes the new trustee is appointed.

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Crew Club for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CREW CLUB

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Crew Club ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 29 March 2023.

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

  2. 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

  3. 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis after consideration by the trustees that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Such consideration includes a review of committed income and expenditures, cash flows and reserves. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
