## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 29 February 2024**
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 February 2024. 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**
a) to promote the benefits of the inhabitants of Liverpool 8 and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
b) to establish, or secure the establishment of a community centre (hereafter called 'the centre') and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any local authority or other person or body) in furtherance of those objects.
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Financial review**
## **Reserves policy**
The board's policy is to ensure that funds are maintained to cover the running expenses of the centre and the 'Restricted Funds' projects the board is committed to. The property refurbishments fund is designed to match the expenditure on the property and is written off over the life of the lease in line with the asset's depreciation.
## **Overall financial performance:**
Excluding depreciation the charity made an unrestricted loss of £5,638 and carries forward an unrestricted fund balance of £31,502. The charity also carries forward a restricted fund balance of £274,071 which represents capital improvements to property. Owing to depreciation of £38,404, largely on the building, included within the resources expended, the accounts show a net expenditure of £44,042 (not cash but based on assets held). This will appear every year.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The members of The New Belve Youth & Community Sports Centre Ltd vote upon nominations for Trusteeship at AGM's. The Board of Trustees have the power to co-opt Trustees in between AGM's however, the Co-optee has to stand down at the next AGM to be then considered by the members for Trusteeship.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The New Belve Youth & Community Sports Centre Limited**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The New Belve Youth & Community Sports Centre Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 29 February 2024.
## **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**
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
3. 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
4. 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.
