TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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) issued in October 2019."
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are to promote the relief of physical and mental illness and disability, addictions and hardship of both men and women who are involved or were formerly involved in the playing of cricket professionally in England and Wales (members of the Professional Cricketers’ Association) and their dependants who, for whatever reason, are in need of such relief.
To provide mental health education and addiction awareness for all past and present Professional Cricketers’ Association members; further, to create roles to educate and bring awareness of such matters to adults and children in the wider general public.
To advance education and personal development opportunities for all past and present members of the Professional Cricketers’ Association.
To promote physical education, health and the game of cricket generally to adults and children as a recreational sport.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. The trustees consider the objectives and activities of the charity are of a public benefit.
Grant making policy
All grant applications are subject to an assessment to ensure they meet the basic criteria for funding within the objectives of the Charity. Applicants must be prepared to provide such other information as the Trustees may reasonably require in order to assist them in their decision-making process. Grants will be considered by the Trustees at their meetings, with urgent applications considered as soon as possible.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Few careers carry so much uncertainty as that of a professional cricketer but thanks to the Cricketers' Trust, past and present players have a vital support network which helps them to prepare for and readjust in the world beyond cricket. The work supporting members has continued throughout the year together with the continual development of the structures of the charity.
During the year, the Charity received donations and legacies of £467,418 (2023: £404,694) and income of £16,056 (2023: £12,378) from investments which, after the deduction of expenditure of £276,237 (2023: £351,697) and an increase of £24,460 (2023: increase of £23,849) from the revaluation of investments, gave rise to a net surplus for the year of £231,697 (2023: surplus of £89,224). Total reserves as at 31 December 2024 were £1,137,100 (2023: £905,403).
Financial review
Reserves policy
The Trustees are of the opinion that the resources they retain and anticipate receiving in the future will enable it to meet effectively the current and future requirements of the Charity.
As at 31 December 2024, the Charity's level of free reserves stood at £1,137,100 (2023: £905,403). Free reserves of the charity are calculated as total unrestricted funds, excluding designated funds and funds tied up in tangible fixed assets and are therefore considered to be equivalent to total unrestricted funds.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRICKETERS' TRUST LIMITED
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Cricketers' Trust Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 17.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act").
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act"). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
The Trustees have engaged Dyke Yaxley, a firm of which I am a director, to provide financial administration services to the charity. I have considered the guidance contained in the FRC's Revised Ethical Standard and concluded that the provision of such services does not pose a threat to my integrity, objectivity and independence as an examiner, and does not impact on my ability to carry out this independent examination.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) - UK, 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 that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Cricketers' Trust Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 1 Brassey Road, Old Potts Way, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY3 7FA. The charity is a registered charity with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, number 1120088.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
1.5 Expenditure
Resources expended are shown in the period in which they are incurred and include VAT which is not recoverable.

(Continued)
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/ (expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and the changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
1.9 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.10 Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
1.11 Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
