Performance and Achievements
The club returned to action in September 2021 after a long break due to Covid 19. A number of junior members did not return after such a long break but the club was able to compete again and ran the following teams:

The club has had a number of junior and senior players representing GB this season in international competition. The club was represented at U16 level through to both Senior and Masters. Head Coach Vanessa Ellis also flew the flag for the club as Assistant Coach to the GB Senior Women.
The club celebrated its 60[th] year in 2022, the oldest women’s basketball club in the UK which is testament to the management and volunteers that make up the Trustees and core members of the club. However, the year was also one of sadness as the club lost its Chairman and founder member Betty Codona OBE who died suddenly on Fri 18 Mar, after a short illness. The 60[th] celebration fundraising dinner in March was quickly turned into a tribute to Betty who made everything possible as the club would not be where it was today if it wasn’t for her passion, commitment and drive! She has left a massive gap within the club but also a fantastic legacy!

City of Sheffield Hatters Basketball Club for the year ended 31 May 2022
I report on the accounts of the City of Sheffield Hatters Basketball Club for the year ended 31 May 2022 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.

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.

Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 31 May 2022
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.
