Public benefit

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s advice on Charities and Public Benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charitable Company’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Managing Director’s Report

I’ve had the privilege of leading the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation since its inception in 2012 and the expansion and continued commitment and quality of work undertaken by the Foundation team and our collaborative work alongside partners in Yorkshire never disappoints me.

Over the past challenging 12 months the positive profile of the Foundation has significantly risen with our coverage of appearing on TV, radio and print increasing. Since its launch the Foundation has been and will keep changing lives for the better through cricket. Over the past year we have worked directly in diverse communities while also helping those with mental health problems, young and older people, the isolated and those living in deprived areas to take part in fun activities that improve their health and happiness in a way that suits them.

Our projects have been even more vital during the time of the pandemic including helping families most in need and most at risk of experiencing holiday hunger in West Yorkshire through our Crick-EAT programme in partnership with Morrisons. This vital initiative has provided nearly 15,000 meals for young people and more than 800 hours of cricket coaching across the

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

Summer and October half terms holidays. For the future we want to roll this out every school holiday across the county.

Our initiatives have also helped people who may be at risk of suffering from isolation through our Reminiscence sessions helping more than 850 participants over 75 online sessions. The sessions, have been developed to use Yorkshire cricket heritage as an aid to help tackle mental health challenges in the community, combat social isolation and encourage social inclusion, while contributing to the Foundation’s role as a ‘social prescriber’ in the community. The aim is for the sessions to be rolled out in

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

care homes across the county and we want to be a blueprint for other counties to follow.

We have also championed older participation through Walking Cricket. The activity developed by us as a new concept in 2019, takes the traditional game’s rules and adds one more – no running – to make it accessible, no matter what the ability. The sport’s become a lifeline, particularly in the pandemic for potentially isolated older people – not only for its physical rewards, but its mental and social benefits. There are now 241 members, including men and women, people with long-term health conditions, and those from all walks of life, across 12 clubs in Yorkshire since it started two years ago.

For the future we are working alongside consultancy firm Oaks to expand our reach and support even more disadvantaged people and communities, in-line with the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation Game Plan 2024 which is enabling us to focus on achieving that.

All of this crucial work would not be possible without the fantastic support we receive from Emerald Foundation. Without this, we simply wouldn’t be where we are today – helping change thousands of lives across the region for the better.

A year in the life of YCF…2020/21 Highlights

The Yorkshire Cricket College and The Gym Group team up

The Yorkshire Cricket College joins forces with The Gym Group providing students with access to a brand new, state of the art gym facility as part of their college offer.

Maintained 100% pass rate for the Yorkshire Cricket College

The Yorkshire Cricket College continues to grow and go from strength to strength. Once again, we maintained 100% pass rate, which given the impact of COVID, was remarkable.

Walking Cricket supports older adults

We hosted a special Walking Cricket match in Barnsley after lockdown which went down a storm in the local community. Walking Cricket hubs & clubs continue to grow, rapidly as the popularity soars. There are currently 12 hubs/clubs in Yorkshire.

Crick-Eat has a major impact

Crick-Eat partners with Morrisons to help combat holiday hunger which is an increasing issue in our communities. Cricket coaching, meals and safe spaces are provided for young people with a total of 15,000 meals given out.

Reminiscence sessions help tackle isolation

During the pandemic the weekly sports reminiscence sessions held on zoom have attracted 850 attendances across 76 sessions, particularly engaging older adults at risk of isolation.

Our Impact

Health & Wellbeing

Supporting people in Yorkshire’s communities to lead healthier, happier lives. Taking a life course approach, we will improve physical, mental and social health to improve wellbeing outcomes, focusing on specific areas of health across the lifespan.

In the spotlight

Crick-Eat

PURPOSE

We help families most in need and most at risk of experiencing holiday hunger across Yorkshire by working collaboratively to change lives for the better through our healthy holidays programme. We provide opportunities for young people to get involved in activity for enjoyment and receive nourishment to help with wider health and social outcomes.

OUR VISION

Supporting families most in need in Yorkshire during the holidays and creating healthier and happier communities.

HOW WE WORK

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation - the official charity and community arm of Yorkshire County Cricket Club – works with Morrisons to transform people’s lives for the better through the healthy holidays programme, Crick-EAT. Currently in West Yorkshire areas of Leeds and Bradford are home to some of the most in need, with almost 22% of children in Bradford and 21% of children in Leeds living below the poverty line. The average family is only ever one month away from needing financial support, and after the past 18 months Crick-EAT is needed more than ever. We are passionate about what we do and aligning to Marcus Rashford’s recommendations to Government, we deliver two hours of cricket by qualified cricket coaches, a healthy free lunch provided by Morrisons, and free toothbrushes and toothpaste kindly provided by Palmolive. We bring people together to make Yorkshire a happier and healthier place.

FOR THE FUTURE

We want to roll this out ever school holiday and expand into areas that most need it across the county.

Education

Yorkshire Cricket College

Our principal aim is to provide the best possible education for our learners. Small class sizes enable our tutors to spend quality time working with their students, ensuring they are fulfilling their potential during the two-year programme.

The low staff to student ratios continue into the practical sessions. Our level 3 coaching team have years of experience and ensure that training is always engaging and focusing on the holistic development of our learners.

At the Yorkshire Cricket College, we strive to provide a rounded experience where our students grow academically, opening doors to higher education or a successful career. We aim to develop their cricketing ability and understand that the harder they work, the more rewarding their achievements will be. Finally, we help students know their best options and next steps after graduation.

These pathways will of course vary, however through work experience inside Yorkshire Cricket, regular tutorials and Q&A sessions with a variety of speakers, our students leave us well-informed and more equipped for adult life than they were when they walked through the doors for the first time.

Heritage

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation is empowered with maintaining the county’s rich cricket heritage and making it accessible through the Yorkshire Cricket Museum, the mobile museum and its programme of activities, including reminiscence sessions and stadium tours, for the benefit of everyone in Yorkshire.

Reminiscence Sessions

“The reminiscence sessions represent a great opportunity for those who suffered from social isolation or loneliness particularly during the pandemic.” – Paul Goodman, Heritage Manager for the YCF.

The weekly sessions, provide a safe environment for older people to catchup, have a cake and a coffee and chat about cricket among other things. The sessions have been developed to use Yorkshire cricket heritage as an aid to help tackle mental health challenges in the community, combat social isolation and encourage social inclusion, while contributing to the Foundation’s role as a ‘social prescriber’ in the community.

It was originally envisaged that this program would take place in care/residential homes and community centres but the introduction of stringent Covid controls meant that a remote model needed to be implemented, so the delivery of sessions went online during the pandemic.

For the future the sessions will be rolled out in care homes across the county and we want to be a blue print for other counties to follow Key stats

Museum

The museum was heavily impacted by covid and the restrictions however during the second half of the year we were able to open it once again and allow limited numbers through the doors, which was well received.

The museum tells the story of Yorkshire Cricket and houses many significant items from the Yorkshire Cricket archive using a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques and interpretation

The museum, mobile museum and the archive are looked after by the Foundation and as a charity we take a lead on Yorkshire Crickets heritage.

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

Participation

Through our participation programmes the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation is helping:

• Support youth to make positive choices and have a sense of belonging in their community

Walking Cricket

Walking Cricket was developed as a new concept in 2019. It makes cricket accessible to older adults and is an adaptation of the traditional game to suit those with less mobility whilst also catering for all abilities. The initial project was formed in partnership with U3A.

Throughout 2021, the popularity of Walking Cricket has grown dramatically to 12 hubs/clubs.

One of the participants, Kate Mason, 78, has suffered from depression since adolescence. Despite trying a spate of treatments including drugs, counselling and several different therapies, nothing was able to help improve her “inner core of sadness”. During the pandemic Barnsley-based Mrs Mason, a retired secondary school teacher, and university lecturer, also found her mental health began to worsen. But after stumbling upon an advertisement for the YCF Walking Cricket programme in her local

10

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

community, Mrs Mason said her life has been transformed after taking a “leap of faith” and taking up the game.

Mrs Mason said: “Up to this point, I had never touched a cricket ball or bat in my life, never mind taking part in a game, so this was a leap of faith on my part. “Walking cricket has changed my outlook on life and myself.” Since Mrs Mason, originally from Sheffield, and her husband attended the course in Barnsley 14 months ago she said her mental health has improved “drastically” and she will shortly be heading to the Headingley Stadium to play in a match. She said: “How’s that for an achievement!”

Key Stats

Pop Up Cricket and Enjoy Cricket

Enjoy Cricket is a fantastic opportunity for clubs, schools and community groups to run coaching camps throughout the school holidays, that are fully funded by the Charitable Youth Trust and administered and organised by The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation. The primary aim is to give children aged 7 and upwards the opportunity to participate in an organised, fun, coaching environment, with a particular focus on young people who may not be able to afford to do so otherwise.

Pop Up Cricket is also funded by the Charitable Youth Trust (CYT) and aims to introduce the game to children between the ages of 6 -13 years old who may not have had the opportunity,

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

resources or facilities to play. This projects targets parks, multi-use games areas, playing fields to reach

new audiences who aren’t currently comfortable going along to a club. The programme also targets areas of deprivation or remote locations

This year thanks to CYT’s support the programme has grown significantly meaning 54 Enjoy Cricket Camps have run and 22 Pop Up Cricket programmes.

Supporting other charities

Yorkshire CCC receive a large volume of charity requests each year, which are managed by the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation. Each year, we give away over 500 tickets to Yorkshire-based charities and good causes. The 2021 season was obviously heavily impacted, so we will look to increase our support in 2022.

What’s next…?

11

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

New course for the Yorkshire Cricket College

To support the growth of the Yorkshire Cricket College, we will launch a new course ready for September 2022. This was planned for September 2021 but COVID restrictions meant we were unable to host open days and attend school assemblies.

Gain Museum Accreditation

In 2022 we will submit our application for museum accreditation as part of our heritage expansion plans. The Accreditation Scheme sets out nationally agreed standards, which inspire the confidence of the public and funding and governing bodies.

Expand NCS delivery in North Yorkshire

After the successful delivery of the NCS programme in 2021 the targets for NCS have been increased by 41% with the majority of the expansion coming in North Yorkshire. We will look to increase our capacity to ensure we meet this target with a high quality programme.

Launch of a new lottery scheme

Following on from the completion of our new fundraising strategy, we will shortly be launching a new lottery in partnership with Lancashire Cricket Foundation. The scheme will allow much greater engagement with supporters, whilst providing great prizes for participants and much needed funding for the Foundation.

Highlights

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

• Chancellor Rishi Sunak attends and praises the NCS programme being delivered in Richmond

• First organised night-time tapeball competition, is a huge success in Keighley.

Review of 2020/21

12

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

• Introduce a second course as part of the Yorkshire Cricket College and recruit for a September 2021 start. The course is likely to be ‘Sport Business Level 3 Btec’

Unfortunately, we couldn’t launch the course in 2021. Due to covid we couldn’t host open days at the stadium or attend schools to present the opportunity. We plan to commence the course in 2022 and bring on an additional Active IQ course.

• Enhance the Crick-EAT offer to at least 3 locations in the county and increase its frequency so it runs in every school holiday. Thanks to the fantastic partnership with Morrisons we were able to surpass our target and increase the number of Crick-Eat hubs to 12, with a total of 15,000 meals given to young people

• In partnership with the Charitable Youth Trust, develop the Enjoy Cricket scheme so it can run in other school holidays, not just the summer break. We aim to increase attendance by 30%. Thanks to the ongoing support and partnership with the Charitable Youth Trust we have been able to meet this target and bring on an apprentice to support the development of the programme. Both Enjoy Cricket and Pop-Up Cricket now run-in other school holidays and the targets have been surpassed. • Develop a new lottery scheme that increases unrestricted revenue for the Foundation and improves the prizes and opportunities to win for the players. We have agreed and signed contracts for a new lottery scheme. We are now working in partnership with the Lancashire Cricket Foundation. The new lottery will see a significant increase in unrestricted revenue and improve the prizes available to participants. The official launch will be in early 2022.

• Secure additional funds to continue our work with the BAME communities once our current Sport England funding comes to an end in April. We have successfully secured funding to carry on the programme to at least October 2022. In addition, we are working closely with ECB to extend the programme for a further 3 years. We have been granted additional pilot funding to extend the programme to Sheffield. Alongside this we are working with Oaks Consultancy to secure additional grant funding.

• Complete the NLHF project, digitise the Yorkshire Cricket archive and prepare the bid for museum accreditation. The NLHF project was successfully completed in the summer and the bid for accreditation is being completed ready for a spring 2022 submission. The NLHF project was severely impacted by covid as a key part of the project was to deliver in schools and care homes. However, with an agreement from NLHF we were able to adapt the delivery model and still hit the required targets. Following the success of this project further bids have been made to funders, to extend our community heritage project.

2021/22 priorities

Since the end of the last financial year, we have set the following priorities for 2021/22.

13

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

• Host our first “Community without Boundaries” conference at Headingley Stadium, aiming to raise awareness of the Foundation and our work and attract new partners and supporters

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

• Following a successful two years of delivering the National Citizen Service (NCS), next year we are contracted to support a 41.3% increase intake for next year and will be delivering the programme to more than 300 young people in a number of schools across West and North Yorkshire. It is key we meet and exceed this target and deliver a first class programme.

• Finalise our corporate support package with Oaks Consultancy and bring on board new corporate partners.

• Partner with the University of Huddersfield, who will be conduct a research project, to examine the health and wellbeing benefits of our Walking Cricket programme.

• Launch a second course for the Yorkshire Cricket College to start in September 2022

• Finalise and submit the museum accreditation application to Arts Council England

• Expand the Core Cities, South Asian Communities project to include all diverse communities

Results for the period

The statement of financial activities shows a net surplus of income over expenditure of £47,129 ( 2020: £61,709 ). Total net assets at 31 August 2021 amounted to £211,217 ( 2020: £164,088 ), represented by unrestricted funds of £93,324 ( 2020: £106,745 ) and restricted funds of £117,893 ( 2020: £57,343 ).

As with previous years, the Trustees would like to express their appreciation for the continued support of the Emerald Foundation, which has donated £60,000 during the year ( 2020: £150,000 ). This money has enabled the Charitable Company to maintain the employee numbers and expand the number and reach of projects across the county.

The Charitable Company’s associated undertaking, Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited, and Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited’s subsidiary company, Pro Coach Education Limited generated an overall profit for the 17-month period ending August 2021. No donation is recorded in these accounts, but it is expected a donation of £30,000 will be made before Christmas 2021. As a result of the trading impact of Covid-19 no donation was made in 2020.

The investment in Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited is stated at cost within the accounts as the Foundation has significant influence over the company, rather than control, thus the investment is treated as an

14

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

associate and not a subsidiary. During the 17-month period 31 August 2021, Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited generated income of £389,149 (2020: £391,101 12 months) and profit before taxation of £39,917 (2020: loss £108). Pro Coach Education Limited generated income of £128,785 (2020: £78,355 12 months) , and profit before taxation of £38,697 (2020: £26,642) .

The Charitable Company is expected to continue as a going concern into the future.

Reserves policy

The reserves policy aims to ensure that the Charitable Company’s core activities could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulties. As such, a proportion of resources should be maintained in a readily realisable form.

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

The Trustees consider free reserves to be those assets that could be converted into cash in the short term should the need arise (net current assets).

The Charitable Company does not own any land, and currently has relatively small overheads – namely the salary costs of the full-time employees. It provides funding to projects and initiatives based on funds that are currently held or have been committed.

The Charitable Company is very fortunate insofar as the Emerald Foundation has made large unrestricted donations. The Trustees feel that wherever possible, new projects and initiatives should be self-financing and sustainable. The Trustees feel that for the short term, the unspent Emerald Foundation donation should support the overhead costs of running the Charitable Company, the creation of a new website and, raising the Charitable Company’s profile. In addition, such funds should also be used to provide seed funding to projects that otherwise would not be able to be financially viable.

The Trustees continue to maintain unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet a minimum of 6 months of forward committed non-discretionary cash expenditure. Predominately this is the payroll cost of employees who are not employed to work on specific projects. This currently equates to £114,737 and at 31 August 2021, unrestricted free reserves stood at £108,621 ( 2020: £106,745) . Employee payroll costs working on specific projects are covered by grants which are treated as restricted funds.

15

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

Whilst the free reserves have fallen below the required amount to maintain 6 months of forward committed payroll costs, this is mitigated by the continued support of the Emerald Foundation who have made a donation of £60,000 in late 2021. The Trustees have also produced a financial plan for the year 2021/22 which generates a deficit, largely driven by the utilisation of restricted funds, but the Charitable Company have engaged with an external fundraising company who are tasked with finding a generating new funding sources. The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the Charitable Company’s planning, budgeting and financial reporting cycle.

The Charitable Company also received restricted revenues which are to be used to fund specific projects. In the period these incomes were £207,682 ( 2020: £266,399 ). The main restricted income was as a result of the South Asian Project which continued this year and the Lords Taverners Wicketz Project which continued to operate in Hull and Leeds during the period. Spend on these restricted projects are matched to the restricted income and the Charitable Company is currently carrying forward a total restricted funds balance of £117,893 ( 2020: £57,343 ).

Investment Powers and Investment Policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charitable Company has the power to deposit or invest funds in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining advice from an authorised or exempted person within the meaning of the Financial Services Act 1986 and having regard to the suitability of the investments and the need for diversification).

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2021

The Charitable Company does not hold any investment funds other than monetary funds. Cash balances are held within interest earning deposit accounts. All cash balances are on immediate notice to ensure operating requirements can be met. It is unlikely that in the foreseeable future the Charitable Company will have surplus funds to invest in non-monetary assets. This policy will be regularly reviewed.

Impact of Covid-19

In March 2021, as a result of the impact of Covid-19, the UK Government placed various restrictions on the operations of businesses and charities. This had impacted the operations of the Foundation across all areas but had significant impact on the Core Cities, Lords Taverners Wicketz projects, the NCS programme and the Yorkshire Cricket College. To try and mitigate the impact of this the Foundation made use of the Government’s furlough scheme but despite this the Trustees expect the Foundation to run at a

16

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

deficit for the year 2021/22. The impact of reduced activity has been reflected in these accounts and the Trustees do not believe any provision for further impact is needed in these accounts.

We are required to report to you if we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is inappropriate or there is an undisclosed material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the use of that basis for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We have nothing to report in these respects.

Trustees’ responsibilities

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 18, the Trustees (who are also the Directors of the Charitable Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the Charitable Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charitable Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charitable Company and its members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021

Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Charity Information

Yorkshire Cricket Foundation is a Company Limited by Guarantee and is also a registered charity. The registered office is The Carnegie Pavilion, Headingley Cricket Ground, Kirkstall Lane, Leeds, LS6 3DP. The registered charity number is 1130878 and its company number is 06934670.

Each member of the company has undertaken to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Charitable Company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019).

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going Concern

Since March 2020, the UK Government have placed a number of restrictions on businesses as a result of Covid-19 and this has continued to impact the ability of the Foundation to operate as normal. The Foundation has received a reduction in its core funding in the period ending 31 August 2021 and this will continue in the coming period and as such the Foundation is expecting to run at a small financial deficit for the period ending 31 August 2022. The Trustees believe that the free reserves are sufficient to cover this deficit for the coming 12 months while other fundraising opportunities are investigated. Due to this the financial statements

27

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

are prepared on a going concern basis. This is based on a review of the budget for the next 12 months, the expected available funding due to the continued support of long-standing donors over the next 12 months and a number of additional fundraising opportunities which have already been identified.

Group accounts

The Charitable Company has taken advantage of the exemption in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements, on the grounds that it is a small sized group.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021

Funds accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for a specific purpose laid down by the donor. Expenditure that meets these criteria is identified to the fund, together with a relevant allocation of overheads and support costs.

Unrestricted funds are incoming recourses received that are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charitable Company and which have not been designated for other proposes.

Reporting Period

The accounts have been prepared for the period of 12 months to 31 August 2021 whereas the previous period was 14 months to 31 August 2020. This long period was to bring the year end in line with both the education year which starts in September and is a growing area of activity for the Foundation but also more in line with summer cricket activities which normally conclude in August. Therefore the comparatives in the financial statements are not directly comparable.

Income

Voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts to the Charitable Company is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received.

Revenue grants are credited as income when they are receivable, provided conditions for receipt have been complied with, unless they relate to a specified future period, in which case they are deferred.

Educational initiative income is recognised once received or if, before receipt, there is sufficient evidence to provide the necessary certainty that the income will be received and the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted income when conditions for receipt have been complied with.

28

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

Direct charitable income represents invoiced sales of goods and services. Income is recognised when goods or services are delivered.

Income from associated undertakings is treated as a donation in the Foundation’s accounts when receipt is deemed probable and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income is deferred:

Expenditure

Expenditure, which is charged on an accruals basis, includes the direct cost of the activities. Where costs relate to more than one category, they have been split based on the percentage of income arising from that category.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021

To take account of the changes brought about by FRS 102, Governance costs are now no longer required to be shown on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities. Governance costs are now apportioned equally across the expenditure on charitable activities.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include backoffice costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Trust’s activities. These costs have been allocated between the activity headings.

Employee costs

The costs of the short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense where settlement of obligations does not fall within the same period.

Retirement benefits

The Charitable Company contributes to defined contribution pension arrangements on behalf of its employees. Amounts due are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period to which the contribution relates.

Financial instruments

29

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a maturity within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Creditors, loans and provisions

Creditors, loans and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfers of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement value after allowing for any discounts which may be due.

Financial liabilities are only derecognised when, and only when, the charity’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Amounts recognised as provisions are best estimates of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021

Tangible Fixed Assets

Individual fixed assets costing £5,000 or more are capitalised at cost.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost net of depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated realisable value of tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives. The rates generally applicable are:

Mobile Cricket Museum

20% straight line

The Foundation owns a mobile cricket museum and the majority of its items are either donated or held as custodian for the ultimate owner of the assets, Yorkshire County Cricket Club. In view of the difficulty in valuing these historical and inalienable assets, no value has been placed on these for the purposes of these financial statements.

30

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation

Investments

Assets held for investment purposes are valued at cost at the Balance Sheet date.

The Charitable Company has significant influence over Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited, and Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited’s subsidiary company, Pro Coach Education Limited. The investment is Pro Coach Yorkshire Cricket Limited is treated as an investment in associated undertakings, and is stated at cost within these Financial Statements.

Taxation

The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a Charitable Company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charitable Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Trustees consider that there are no key estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
