Eckington Boys & Belles Football Club
Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 April 2021
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 of the accounts which can be found on page 9.
Constitution, objectives and activities for the public benefit
The charity was constituted on 8 February 2007 and amended on 3 May 2007. It was registered with the Charity Commission on 1 October 2007 under registration number 1121016.
To provide and assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation, in particular, Association Football, for young people aged 6 and over and the public at large with the object of improving their conditions of life. The trustees have referred to the guidance given by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and details of the activities that have taken place during the year can be found later in this report.
Organisational structure
The trustees who have served the charity during the year are shown on page 3.
The day to day running of the club is undertaken by a committee of volunteers, this committee is supported by team managers of each football team within the club.
The committee and team managers meet every month to discuss team performance, player development and to implement fund raising ideas to enable the charity to continue to meet its objective.
Financial Review
The charity had net incoming resources of £45.8k. The trustees are satisfied with these results in the current climate. The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted upon the club’s ability to organise specific fundraising events. The charity has benefited from grants awarded by The Football Foundation to support the return of football activity when lockdown restrictions began to ease.
Review of activities
The charity provides football facilities for juniors aged 4 to 18 along with a growing adult section. The charity organises a training school for boys and girls and has teams competing in the Sheffield & District Junior Football League, Sheffield & Hallam County FA Women/Girls League and Meadowhall Sunday League.
There areh c.260 members associated with the club.
The club are grateful for the support of the volunteers/parents for ensuring the matches go ahead.
The ability to organise specific fundraising events has been restricted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, income has been generated via the 100 Club Draw along with player subscriptions and team sponsorships. The majority of player subscriptions are collected via BACS, and this has created positive efficiencies to maximise income from this source.
The income of the charity is applied to providing football activities, including kit, equipment and winter training facilities. The development of club facilities remains a priority and any surplus funds are primarily used in the development of new facilities. The club continues to be successful in its ability to secure grant funding with the Football Foundation being particularly supportive.

Investment policy
The Charity does not have an investment policy. The trustees hold a sensible approach and place liquid assets in accounts that ensure monies are accessible. There is a case to consider moving some liquid assets to an interest generating bank accounts. This may create a small amount of additional income in the form of interest while retaining the accessibility the charity requires.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain unrestricted funds which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level to provide enough funds to cover anticipated administration and support costs.
Risk management
The trustees are aware of the operational and financial risks which the charity faces and regularly reviews those risks to mitigate against any impact they may have on the charity.
Statement of the Trustees Responsibilities
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepare and financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiners report to the trustees of Eckington Boys & Belles Football Club
I report on the accounts of Eckington Boys & Belles Football Club (Registered Charity number 1121016) for the year ended 30 April 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charities Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act) and
-
To state whether matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiners Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have been met.
or
- Which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
