Retford Gymnastics Club

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Club purpose as set out in the constitution is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Retford and the surrounding area, by the provision and coaching for gymnastics and is affiliated to British Gymnastics.

Public benefit

The charity furthers the health and recreation for all age groups in the Retford and surrounding areas by the provision and coaching of gymnastics

In deciding on what activities, the Trust should pursue, the Trustees have regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

Achievement and performance

The club continues to be a popular facility and we continue to have many new additions to our current waiting list.

The club provides opportunities for all gymnasts to achieve their full potential.

Our open disability sessions had to be postponed during the pandemic, due to the restrictions in place. Once restrictions were lifted, these were reinstated.

The Little Gymstars and Independent preschool classes have been very popular with both boys and girls with over 90% feeding into our general recreational classes as they go into full time education. During the pandemic, we were unable run Little Gymstars due to the restrictions in place, but our Preschool coaches did an amazing job of providing fun and engaging zoom sessions.

The squad gymnasts continue to develop their skills to a high level and both boys and girl are competing up to National level. Disability gymnasts have also been competing at The British Disability Masters. We continue to offer trials for gymnasts wanting to develop their skills to a higher level.

The club continues to source funding and to fundraise within the club to improve the venue and to update old and wornout equipment and purchase new equipment to develop new skills, however, during the pandemic, we were unable to hold any of our planned fundraisers.

May 2020, we were still in Lockdown, so our zoom sessions continued. July, we were open again, with set covid restrictions, which meant that we had to adhere to the social distancing rules set out by BG and the government, sanitising and regular cleaning of equipment. The club managed to refurbish the small gym, so that we were able to ensure the safety of the gymnasts, making the groups smaller. Parents/carer spectating was not able to take place. November saw another lockdown and then again from January 2021 until April, which meant that we had to revert to our online sessions once again.

We continue to follow our development plan to increase participation at the club, to create the opportunity for all children and adults to take part in healthy recreation. We will continue to provide pathways for talented gymnasts to compete and we will continue to improve the facility further purchasing new equipment and developing the level of the skills and qualifications of our coaches. We have three newly qualified young coaches passing their first level this year.

Community links

The club has hosted Festivals year on year for a large number of primary schools giving the opportunity for children to experience gymnastics in a purpose-built facility. The pandemic did put a hold on this for some time, but once we were able to reopen again, the Schools Coordinator got in touch to arrange festivals once again. We continue to have regular independent bookings from schools to access the facility, giving their children the opportunity to develop their gymnastics to a higher level. From these links, we have attracted many new members into the sport. Our links with the local community continue, however due to the pandemic, this year, the festival at Torworth, has been postponed.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Holiday sessions

Once we were able to reopen, holiday sessions provided the opportunity for members and non- members to take part in our fun sessions and were well attended.

Fundraising has been limited due to the pandemic, not being able to invite parents/carers to events, proved difficult when planning. We look forward to be able to plan competitions and additional festivals very soon.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Retford Gymnastics Club

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Retford Gymnastics Club

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Retford Gymnastics Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 May 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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 accounts to be reached.
