## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024** 

The Trustee presents his report along with the financial statements of the Fund for the year ended 30 April 2024.  The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement  of  Recommended  Practice:  Accounting  and  Reporting  by  Charities  preparing  their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Fund’s Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2005. 

In preparing the financial statements the Trustee should follow best practise and: 

- Ensure that the accounting policies are applied consistently. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charitable Fund will continue to operate. 

- Ensure that proper accounting records are kept which disclose with reasonable accuracy the position of the Charitable Fund. 

- Take reasonable steps to safeguard the assets of the Fund. 

- Take reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and any other irregularities. 

- Disclose and explain fully any departures from the financial statements. 

The Sergeants’ Mess Fund of Hamworthy Barracks was created to provide amenities, entertainment and facilities for the SNCOs within the unit that is not otherwise provided for by the public purse and to promote military efficiency and well-being. The Commanding Officer of Hamworthy Barracks is the sole Managing Trustee in line with current service regulations. The Trustee is selected by appointment from within the Royal Marines and will generally change at regular intervals. 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. 

The Trustee has delegated the day to day running of the account to nominated representatives ( _The Supervising Officer & Treasurer_ ) from within the unit organisation. Committee (Sergeants’ Mess) 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 Fund. However, all decisions are recorded and approved by the Trustee as laid down within the Charter.

_Trustee’s Report for the year ended 30 April 2024_ 

The management have considered the major risks to which the Fund is exposed. These risks are continually reviewed, and the management have established systems and procedures to manage them. The Trustee considers, by reviewing the accounts monthly, the management can manage and review the income over expenditure. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Fund exists for the collective benefit of all the SNCOs in Hamworthy Barracks and the main objective is to provide the appropriate facilities to enhance the military and individual skills of all its 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. 

The Fund carries out these objects by: 

Providing and assisting members to perform their roles more effectively 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  Fund  is  derived  from  voluntary  subscriptions,  various  grants,  and  occasional donations. This income is enough 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 varied grants to groups and individuals to pursue activities and in doing so have enhanced military efficiency, improved morale, and enhanced the general welfare of the beneficiaries of the Fund. 

In making those grants the management has considered the impact on the Fund accounts, 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 spent. 

The activities of the Fund, in the form of social events, are accounted for by means of Designated and where necessary via Restricted Funds. The management find that by using these funds to analyse the income and expenditure, it can control the various projects within the Fund more easily and enable current and future charitable objects. The summary of income and expenditure relating to the various Funds can be found at Notes 16 & 17. 

## **Grant Making Policy** 

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. 

5 



_Trustee’s Report for the year ended 30 April 2024_ 

Fund  (Sergeants’ Mess) 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. The Fund Charter is reviewed regularly to ensure that the aims and objectives continue to be achieved and management are within the bounds of the regulations laid down. 

## **Financial Review** 

The turnover of the account is enough to support the members and activity is good, there has been a steady income and expenditure flow within the accounting period and the Fund is operating as a going concern with enough funds available for the day to day and future activities. 

The Trustee is generally satisfied with the performance of the Fund over the last accounting period and considers that expenditure has been within the Charter of the Fund. 

## **Plan** 

The charitable objectives for the forthcoming year are to: 

- Provide the appropriate amenity facilities for the SNCOs of the unit. 

- Make appropriate grants and to maintain and enhance the performance of the SNCOs within the unit where appropriate. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustee’s policy is to maintain enough level of reserves to provide a stable base for the Fund’s continuing activities. General reserves are normally only maintained at a level which is enough to meet the running costs of the Fund and to make grants in accordance with the Fund's objectives on a regular basis. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustee’s view is that a good level of reserves and the low administrative costs of the Fund mean that its exposure to risk is limited. The Trustee, as a matter of principle, does not accept any obligations on behalf of the Fund without having the funds immediately available to meet those obligations. 

The internal checks and controls governed by Service regulations and the Independent Examination and audit ensure that regular and random checks are applied to the Fund to safeguard its assets and grant making policy. Any recommendations highlighted during the Independent Examination, to improve  objectives  or  governance,  are  implemented  for  the  benefit  of  management  and  the personnel within the unit.

_Trustee’s Report for the year ended 30 April 2024_ 

## **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. The Fund has invested surplus working capital in such an account and will review the possibility of further investment. 

## **Trustee’s Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements** 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Fund's financial activities during the year and its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, The Trustee should follow best practice and: 

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and; 

Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Fund will continue to operate. 

The  Managing  Trustee  is  responsible  for  keeping  accounting  records  which  disclose  with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Fund, and which enable him to ensure that the financial  statements  comply  with  the  Charities  Act  2011,  the  Fund  (Accounts  and  Reports) Regulations  and  the  provision  of  the  Governing  Document.  The  Trustee  is  responsible  for safeguarding the assets of the Fund and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

_Trustee’s Report for the year ended 30 April 2024_ 

## **HAMWORTHY BARRACKS Sergeants’ Mess Fund** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 APRIL 2024** 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner** 

The Fund’s Trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charities Trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act, and state whether matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

My examination  was  carried  out  in  accordance  with  General Directions  given  by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Fund and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Fund has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial  Reporting  Standard applicable  in the UK  and Republic  of Ireland  (FRS  102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
