REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 (CONT’D)

Trustees’ responsibilities statement — continued

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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102)

• e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; e state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• ¢ prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.

Objectives and activities

Objectives

The objectives of the Charity, as set out in its governing document are:-

• a) to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Crewe and Nantwich and the neighborhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to promote facilities in the interests 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 to secure the establishment of a sports and community centre and to maintain and manage, or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the Charity and constituent bodies in furtherance of such objects.

Activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives

The trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake to meet the stated objectives. The governing document notes the powers the trustees may exercise in furtherance of the charitable company’s objects.

The sports and community centre hosts some of the most innovative facilities in the UK. The full sized cushioned astroturf and special shock absorbent goalkeeping area allows the centre’s FA qualified coaches to provide a wide range of coaching and other soccer based activities. The centre takes great pride in providing a safe, fun and educational area for local people to enjoy the game of football in an inclusive environment teaching both boys and girls from the ages of four and upwards. It also encourages the better players around the area to be selected for the Crewe Alexandra Academy.

Page 3

CREWE ALEXANDRA IN THE COMMUNITY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 (CONT’D)

Achievements and performance

The centre continues to host a wide range of activities and includes courses for girls, tiny-tots, children with special needs and goalkeepers. The facility also provides walking football, Saturday clubs, birthday parties, adult and mini soccer leagues, school multi sports, and holiday clubs.

The centre’s community manager and his dedicated staff go out into the surrounding areas to visit local schools and community projects. Turnover and activity levels, post Covid restrictions, remain strong in spite of the difficult economic environment. The centre continues to monitor and maintain control of its costs in line with budget. The trustees are pleased with the results for the year.

Financial review

Policy on reserves

The trustees believe that it is in the charity’s best interests to retain a reasonable level of reserves in order to ensure that the charitable objectives can continue to be met effectively without any unnecessary disruptions which may occur due to unforeseen circumstances.

Some of the unrestricted funds, as shown in the balance sheet, are represented by fixed assets held for use within the charity, so these are to be excluded from the funds balance in order to give a better representation of the level of reserves that are freely available for immediate use in achieving the charitable objectives. This basis has been used to calculate the freely available reserves figure noted below.

The freely available reserves for the year ended 30 June 2025 is calculated to be £135,764 (2024 £127,027).

The trustees monitor the level of reserves at the end of each financial year in order that they can review and update the policy to ensure that it continues to reflect the perceived levels of expenditure anticipated, given the most recent and expected future circumstances, and also allows sufficient funds to be instantly available to be able to meet any unforeseen expenses. The risks and uncertainties facing the charity are considered by the trustees, as far as practicable, so that the level of future charitable activities can be adequately planned for.

The trustees are confident that they can continue to grow the charity over the next few years.

Overall, the trustees have established a policy whereby the charity has sufficient liquid reserves to allow for the continued operation of the Alexandra Soccer and Community Association for at least the next twelve months.

Further financial review

The charity makes cash deposits with high street banks which have a low level of risk, the funds are easily accessible and offers an acceptable rate of interest.

The results of the charity for the year are shown in the statement of financial activities and the position of the company at the year end is shown in the balance sheet.

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The registered office is The Alexandra Soccer Centre, Crewe Road, Shavington, Crewe, Cheshire, CW2 5AF.

• 1.2 Basis of preparation

.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated, and in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounis in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, together with Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of treland (FRS 102) (effective January 2015).

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

• 1.3 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the generai objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.

1.4 Income recognition All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income and after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Where incoming resources have related expenditure, as with fundraising events, the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA and are not offset unless otherwise required by the SORP.

Page 9

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 (CONT’D)

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donations, requiring a level of performance before obtaining entitlement, the income is deferred until those conditions are met. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. Where legacies have been notified to the charity but it is not possible to determine the amount expected, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries are included at valuation and recognised as income upon receipt, where practicable. If such a valuation cannot be determined without undue cost and effort, then it is recognised within donations on distribution and an equivalent amount shown within charitable expenditure. Gifts donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected sale proceeds less any expected cost of sale, in income from other trading activities on receipt, unless determining the fair value is impractical, in. which case the income is not recognised until the item is sold. Donated facilities are recognised in income at fair value when the economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control of the item, with a corresponding amount recognised in expenditure. No amounts are included in the financial statements for time donated by volunteers in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Interest receivable on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably, normally upon notification by the bank.

1.5 Expenditure recognition All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

The charity is not registered for VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Expenditure is classified under the appropriate activity headings: Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes but do not include those costs incurred in direct support of the charitable activities. It includes the costs of all fundraising activities and events, seeking donations, non-charitable trading activities and the costs of managing investments; Expenditure on charitable activities are those costs incurred by the charity in undertaking activities for the furtherance of its aims and objectives for the benefit of its beneficiaries and include support costs and costs relating to the governance and administration of the charity; Other expenditure is any other expenditure which is not related to fund raising for charitable purposes or spent towards achieving the charitable objectives.

Support costs are those functions which assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities, including personnel, finance, administration and governance costs. Where support costs are unable to be directly attributed to particular activity headings, they are allocated between the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Where applicable, the basis of apportionment is stated in the analysis of support costs.

Fundraising costs are those expenses incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 (CONT’D)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they are material in value and can be used for more than one year. They are stated at cost, unless they are gifted, including any incidental expenses of acquisition and those costs required to get the assets operating as intended. Gifted assets are brought in at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful economic life as follows:

Leasehold land nil per annum Leasehold buildings 2.5% per annum straight line Playing surfaces 7 years straight line Fencing and floodlights 10% per annum straight line Equipment and fixtures 15% per annum reducing balance Motor vehicles 3 years straight line

No depreciation is charged on the assets until they come into operational existence.

1.7. Debtors and creditors Debtors and creditors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discounts offered. Provisions arise where, at the balance sheet date, the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event which is probable to result in an outflow of economic benefits and the amount due to settle the obligation can be reliably estimated. Losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

1.8 Pension costs The charitable company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of certain employees. The costs of contributions are charged against profits in the period they are payable.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charitable company only has basic financial assets and liabilities. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.10 Taxation

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

1.11 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
