Trustees' Annual Report

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a trustees' report and accounts for the Charities

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Constitution and Accounting and Reporti by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Smaller Entities.

Governing Document

The Charity is operated under the rules of its constitution dated 27 March 2007. Overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted unde the terms of the constitution. Day to day project activity is managed and carried out by volunteers.

Aims and Objectives

Its objectives are; "the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for playing the game of basketball."

Activities

The principal activities of the charity include;

q providing opportunities for women and girls of all ages to play basketball and develop a healthy and ethical lifestyle

Performance and Achievements

There were three new Trustees appointed to the club committee and two departures after long service with the club. We continue to recruit, train and mentor volunteers, primarily parents and players which is vital to future sustainability of the club. These volunteers continue to fill roles in administration, promo ti on an d ma c t h d ays, coac hi ng an d o ffi c a i ti ng.

The club ran the following teams:

The club also had a number of junior and senior players representing England U14 (2), U15 (3), GB women (2) in international competition, along with our WBBL Head Coach Vanessa Ellis, who also flew the flag for the club as GB Women’s Assistant Coach.

Participation “pay as you play” sessions were also run on a weekly basis coached by the WBBL players for girls to try basketball which continues to increase our membership numbers, hence the club running multiple teams at both the U14 and U16 age groups, but in different competitive levels to cater for the different levels of ability and experience.

The WBBL team joined forces with the Sheffield Sharks Men’s BBL team and moved to the purpose built Canon Arena on the Olympic Legacy Park in Sheffield. Match attendance have grown significantly this year thanks to club volunteers, the new partnership at the Arena and the WBBL players who regularly promote the game within the Sheffield schools and Hotshots community programme. Along with all of our social media platforms, again a mix of volunteer and professional club input we now have one of the best SM followings in women’s basketball.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 May 2024

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.
