THE OFFICERS' MESS CTCRM

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 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 fund exists for the collective benefit of the Officers of the Unit, to provide the appropriate facilities to enhance the military and individual skills of all mess members.

The objects of the fund are for the promotion of efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by the provision and support of facilities and activities for the efficiency and well-being of service personnel.

Significant activities

The fund carries out its objects by:

Providing and assisting service personnel to more effectively perform their roles within the Armed Forces of the Crown by providing and supporting social activities, sporting and adventure training activities and associated facilities. This assistance enables service personnel to face the challenges and danger associated with military service by developing and maintaining their teamwork; skills; fitness; confidence, character, spirit, attitude and morale. As a result the fund promotes the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by enhancing the capability of the Royal Marines to undertake the roles demanded of it including the defence of the United Kingdom and its interests.

Income to the Charity is derived from various grants, rebates, surpluses from the bar and occasional donations. This income is sufficient to meet the demands of the various activities and assist the organisation to carry out the individual and/or group activities to assist in team building. This has been demonstrated by the many varied grants to groups and individuals to pursue activities and in doing so have enhanced military efficiency, improved moral and enhanced the general welfare of the beneficiaries of the fund.

In making those grants the management has considered the impact on the fund/account and where necessary has designated the amounts shown in the accounts to be carried over to the following year which represent the amounts allocated but not yet spend.

The activities of the charity in the form of social and occasional sporting events are accounted for by means of designated and restricted funds. The management find that by using these funds to analyse the income and expenditure, it can control the various projects with more ease for current and future charitable objects.

Public benefit

In accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the associated Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, the trustee confirms that he has complied with his duties to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit as published by the Charity Commission, in exercising his powers and duties in the year under review.

Grantmaking

The policy of the Trustee is to manage the Fund's affairs with prudence taking into consideration the long term as well as a short term view of the fund, whilst expending the income in accordance with the purpose laid down in the Fund's Charter. Grants to groups and individuals are made within the bounds of the charter.

Fund meetings are held monthly when it is practically possible where the management committee will consider bids and applications to the fund. Any bids falling outside the bounds of the charter are not normally approved unless they are within the spirit of the aim of the fund charter.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy

The Trustee has the power to invest in such assets as he sees fit within the restrictions of the Investment policy laid down in Service Fund Regulations Chapter 8. The Trustee's aim is to invest all funds surplus to immediate requirements in interest bearing accounts to maximise the returns. However, due to the ongoing phased refurbishment plans for CTCRM's Officers' Mess and the wider financial position of the charity there are currently not sufficient surplus funds to invest.

Overview

The charity is maintaining a steady income and expenditure flow and across the accounting period the fund has operated as a going concern with sufficient monies available to provide for the day to day and future activities. The Statement of Financial Activities reports a significant decrease in income and expenditure over the previous year. The decrease is principally due Covid-19 impact and restrictions.

The Trustee is satisfied with the performance of the fund over the last accounting period and considers that expenditure has been within the provisions of the charter of the fund.

Reserves policy

The Trustee's policy is to maintain a sufficient level of reserves to provide a stable base for the Charity's continuing activities. A sufficient level of reserves is considered to be four months expenditure to ensure the Charity would continue to function normally while evaluating future options. Four months expenditure would be approximately £67,000. At the balance sheet date the Charity had free reserves (total unrestricted funds less functional fixed assets held within the unrestricted funds) of £96,886. The Trustee therefore considers that the current level of free reserves is appropriate.

FUTURE PLANS

The charitable objectives for the forthcoming year are to:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, its Charter, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Commanding Officer of CTCRM is the sole Managing Trustee in line with current service regulations. The Trustee is therefore selected by appointment from within the Royal Marines and will generally change at regular intervals.

Organisational structure

The Trustee has delegated the day to day running of the account to nominated representatives from within the unit organisation. Committee meetings are held on a frequent basis and have been structured to provide a wide representation of members to represent the best interests of the Charity. However, all decisions are minuted and approved by the Trustee as laid down within the charter.

Induction and training of new trustees

Trustees are inducted by appointment and will have received training in account management in accordance with Service Fund Regulations and whose duties are laid down in Queens Regulations.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE OFFICERS' MESS CTCRM

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Officers' Mess CTCRM

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Officers' Mess CTCRM (the Trust) for the year ended 31 January 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

  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.

19. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

Ministry of Defence

The charity works closely with the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Some of the charity's personnel are employed by the MOD and the charity operates from MOD premises for which no charge is incurred. The amount of time spent by MOD personnel or the amount of MOD premises space utilised by the charity is not discrete from other MOD responsibilities. Therefore no value has been recognised as donated services within these financial statements for the use of MOD personnel and premises.

20. ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY

The charity is under the control of the trustee.
