Performance and Achievements
The club started out the 2019/20 season as usual, running the following teams and activities:
WBBL
Division 2
U18/U16/U14/U12 Junior teams
Local junior central venue leagues
School holiday basketball camps
Unfortunately all competition and leagues were suspended in March 2020 due to the Covid Pandemic when a national lockdown was initiated. Some sponsors and perennial donors were unable to fulfil their usual obligations to the club as a consequence, and as a result this had a severe financial impact on the club.
All 5 imported WBBL players had to be flown back to their home countries and the club was forced to close down. Sadly activity was unable to resume for many months due to the ongoing pandemic.

Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of
City of Sheffield Hatters Basketball Club for the year ended 31 May 2021
I report on the accounts of the City of Sheffield Hatters Basketball Club for the year ended 31 May 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-

-
q to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
q to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any 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 examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 31 May 2021
1 Receipts and payments accounts
Because the level of income and expenditure is below £250,000, the group has opted for accounts prepared on a receipts and payments rather than an accruals basis. This is in line with Charity Commissioners guidelines for small charities and is seen as more appropriate for this project.
