Retford Gymnastics Club

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2022. 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 offering the opportunity to compete at low level to elite level. Our open disability sessions are well attended and is popular due to the facility being a safe place for the children with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to explore the apparatus. This session is for those children and young adults who are unable to access mainstream sessions due to their level of disability. Comments from parents/carers indicate that this is the one facility where their children in their care have the opportunity to freely access the equipment.

The Little Gymstars and Independent preschool classes continue to be very popular with both boys and girls with over 90% feeding into our general recreational classes as they go into full time education. The squad gymnasts continue to develop their skills to a high level and both boys and girl are competing up to National level. 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 worn out equipment and purchase new equipment to enable the development of new skills. The club continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic, offering increased participation, holiday sessions and accessing competitions for our squads and again planning our own in- house competition. The venue is now being used by British Gymnastics to host coach education courses and we are now seeing the increase in bookings for birthday parties once again. Our fundraising campaign is ongoing and we plan to fundraise to purchase a new sprung floor and replace old equipment.

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.

Community links

The club continues to host Festivals year on year for a large number of primary schools giving the opportunity for children to experience gymnastics in a purpose-built facility. 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 and have again been invited to their annual festival.

Holiday sessions

Holiday sessions provided the opportunity for members and non- members to take part in a four hour fun session. During the summer, these are very well attended.

Fundraising

Easter event Club invitational competition and Winter squad competition Display

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 2022.

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

  3. 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.
