Trustees' Report
The Trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2022.
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing documents:
The Bath Rugby Community Foundation’s (BRF) charitable objects as defined in its governing documents are:
• To advance and to assist in advancing education;
• To provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life for those for whom the facilities are provided;
• To promote any other such purpose which is charitable according to English law.
In pursuing these purposes, BRF seeks to enhance the lives of children and young people using the power of sport. It focuses on those with social and other disadvantages by imparting the values of camaraderie, loyalty, self-discipline and respect found in rugby.
BRF seeks to motivate, raise self-esteem and confidence, and improve life skills in young people by impacting positively on educational achievement through social interaction.
The mission of BRF is to empower vulnerable children and young people in Bath and surrounding areas to succeed.
In setting the aims and objectives of BRF the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Why we exist and our main activities:
Around 20% of children in this UNESCO World Heritage City live in poverty. A child born in Twerton will live on average 9.3 years less than one born in Bear Flat - two miles apart and a few stops on the bus.
We focus on three main areas of need - Inclusion, Education and Employability - with an overarching ambition to improve the mental and physical health of participants and develop a growth mindset. Annually we work with around 3,500 participants - in schools, in the community and at The Rec. Despite pandemic and post pandemic challenges and resulting economic downturn, we have continued to provide a sustainable pipeline for beneficiaries.
Inclusion
BRF provides an inclusive community and in an average three-month period we work with around 900 children and young people who have a special educational need or disability. BRF can offer greater opportunities to beneficiaries compared to other providers largely due to our relationship with Bath Rugby and our central location in the city at The Bath Rec Sports Hub.
• Project Rugby - Targeting low socio-economic groups (LSEG), Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic participants (BAME). Funded by Premiership Rugby, England Rugby and Gallagher;
• Disability: Hi5! Club Funded by Wesport and the students themselves; and
• Community engagement: Summer, Easter and Christmas BreakOut (via the Holiday Activities and Food Fund).
Education
Thanks to a generous donor, our growth mindset programme Raising the Game took place by targeting primary school groups who were displaying low resilience and secondary schools where students were at risk of exclusion. We saw a 27% reduction in behaviour incidents and we intend to secure funding to further increase our work in this area.
Page 2
The Bath Rugby Community Foundation
Trustees' Report
We are also committed to expanding our work at The Rec for at-risk-of-exclusion students by working in partnership with academy trusts and colleges. We continue to explore growth opportunities with this programme. Schools and colleges are reporting an increase in numbers of as-risk-of-exclusion students, and both continue to report the gap between the highest and lowest performing pupils (attainment gap) is increasing year on year. B&NES sits 146th out of 150 local authorities in this league table. The Covid-19 pandemic will only serve to expand this gap further.
• Raising the Game - Primary and Secondary - focuses on growth mindset and mental toughness. It is funded through a family trust, St John’s Foundation and the schools themselves; and
• Healthy Lifestyle: Tackling Health (Funded by Premiership Rugby and Gregg’s Foundation).
Employability
BRF’s Premiership Rugby (PRL)-funded programme Hitz continued this year. We have agreements with Bath Rugby, education provider SCL and PRL.
• Hitz - BTEC in Sports and Active Leisure Level 1, City and Guilds Level 2 in Employability and NCFE Level 2 in Sport and Active Leisure. Hitz is funded by Premiership Rugby, CVC and Wooden Spoon;
• Hitz on Track - Six-week employability engagement programme funded by Premiership Rugby.
We also delivered an employability programme for 19-24-year-old NEETs in collaboration with Bath College and Jobcentre Plus. The Advantage programme will continue to be delivered in the school summer holidays, increasing our provision for 19s plus.
How we raise funds to finance our work:
We employ professional fundraising and event management personnel and link our fundraising to a three-year strategic plan approved by the Trustee group. Management accounts are monitored and reported on monthly. Our Head of Fundraising is a member of the Institute of Fundraising.
We rely on a mixed economy of funding streams so there is no over reliance on one stream of income. The main sources are Premiership Rugby, trusts and foundations, events, individual and corporate donations, and service provision.
During the year under consideration, because of the pandemic, income from donations and legacies fell from £505,638 to £233,775 but grant application funding (primarily Summer, Christmas and Easter BreakOut) rose to £450,000.
We have no examples of any failure by the charity, or any person acting on behalf of the charity, to comply with fundraising standards.
Looking ahead grants from trusts and foundations is an area of development and growth for the charity.
Donations and corporate support also continues to be an area of growth. We continue to work with local businesses and private donors on a 1stXVClub membership scheme where businesses and individuals commit to donating £7,000/year to BRF.
We have not monitored the fundraising activities of any person acting on our behalf and have not received any complaints about the fundraising activities of the charity or about anyone acting on our behalf for the purposes of fundraising.
To safeguard vulnerable young people from any intrusion and the public from undue pressure to donate money we have a GDPR compliant CRM environment. This ensures that we only contact people when we have their permission or legitimate interest to do so.

Trustees' Report
Review of the charity’s financial position:
Total income for 2021/22 was £914,416 compared to £669,688 in 2020/21
Total income was higher than the previous financial year because, although the impact of the pandemic was still felt on our fundraising events during this financial year, grant income of £450,000 was significant.
The deficit on unrestricted funds for the year was £66,577. This included a debt write off in the region of £40,000 related to income expected from 1stXV Club memberships, promised in writing in previous years, but not received. The deficit on restricted funds for the year - £74,145 - related to grant revenue received in the previous financial year and then spent during the year under consideration.
Policy and amount of reserves held:
It is the Trustees’ objective to hold free reserves to cover at least three months’ recurring operational costs. This amounts to £158,000 with free reserves of £157,713 is in line with this policy. The Trustees consider the charity has sufficient forecast income and available reserves to cover the ongoing activities of the charity in the foreseeable future. With the permission of the donor the Trustees have the ability to draw on the Development Fund to develop the business.
Volunteers policy:
BRF welcomes applications for voluntary positions from individuals who have direct personal or family experience of working with children and young people. We promote a range of opportunities for individuals who use our services to become involved in the organisation as volunteers and our operations manager has devised a safer recruitment process. During the year under review volunteers worked for us in a variety of capacities - administrative support, supporting our coaches and a range of community fundraising activities and events, and as support assistants for our programmes. All BRF Trustees are volunteers.
Our response to Covid-19:
In March 2020 when the country went into lockdown BRF acted immediately by creating alternative ways to manage our services while keeping all colleagues and our communities safe and well. It was essential we keep in touch with the most vulnerable young people and we were able to quickly move this support from in-person to online. For the majority of young people requiring our support we offered a range of digital services and regular phone support. We also delivered laptops and sports equipment to students.
Financially we were hardest hit by loss of events and matchday income, approximately £150,000, but were able to recover that loss from donations and grant application income.
Logistical and financial challenges continued until the end of the pandemic (December 2021) followed by an economic downturn. We expect the increased need for our services to continue.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity:
The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility to identify, assess and manage risks. We have a Risk Register, and this is reviewed annually and reported on at board meetings.

BRF is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The company was established under a set of Articles of Association, which set out the objects and powers of the organisation.
The Directors of the company are also the Trustees of the charity. Trustees have control of the organisation, its funds and assets and are responsible for overall strategic and operational management. There is a three times three years rotation and fixed period of service. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits. Trustees are appointed via a safer recruitment process and are inducted and trained by other Trustees and in consultation with the Chief Executive. All are DBS checked.
The Chair and Treasurer are elected by the Trustees and the Board may appoint a Chair and Treasurer from within or outside the Board. To ensure that new Trustees are appointed regularly the Board has undertaken a skills audit of current Trustees and matched those against skills requirements after analysing the most recent business plan in order to identify skills gaps. The Board continues to seek to recruit people with appropriate skills, experience and/or passion and invites potential new Trustees to shadow their meetings as well as undertake the pre Trustee induction process.
Day-to-day management of the organisation is delegated to the Chief Executive, who manages a team of staff, consultants and upwards of 150 volunteers.
BRF’s remuneration procedure stipulates that the pay of all senior staff, including the Chief Executive, is reviewed and set by the Board of Trustees at their quarterly board meetings. Except for staff roles changing, salaries are reviewed annually.

The Bath Rugby Community Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Bath Rugby Community Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Bath Rugby Community Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 June 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 June 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Page 8
The Bath Rugby Community Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Bath Rugby Community Foundation
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
-
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities (set out on page 7), the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Trustees on ...............
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Bath Rugby Community Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
The Trustees have reviewed the supply chains, key donors and the capital resources available and consider that the charity has adequate resources in place to continue trading for the next twelve months.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 14
The Bath Rugby Community Foundation
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Volunteer time
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the Charity SORP (FRS 102).
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is included as a separate expense in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and Trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £5,000 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Furniture and equipment 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
