## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the financial year from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document, the  Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) published in October 2019. 

Since the charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. This trustees' report constitutes a director's report under company law. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Policies and objectives** 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit. 

## **Strategies for achieving objectives** 

Organisation of events to promote community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Cobham and the surrounding areas by the provision of facilities for playing sports. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Review of activities** 

Despite the challenging economic backdrop, where inflation was operating at higher levels, the 2023/24 financial year saw the charity and its trading subsidiaries perform robustly. Following years of prudent financial management, the charity was well placed to meet these new challenges, whilst continuing to provide first class sporting facilities to members and the wider Community in the local area. 

Rugby, Lacrosse, Netball and Tennis sections all made full use of the charity’s sporting facilities and together with both the Cobham Free School’s and wider Community use of the Artificial Grass Pitch (“AGP”), sporting activity at the Memorial Grounds is now a constant presence nearly every day of the year from early in the morning till late at night. Towards the end of the previous year the charity submitted proposals to the local planning authority with an eye on upgrading the facilities provided to the tennis and netball sections and, whilst frustrated by an initial setback, the trustees remain committed to this project which is seen as key to ensuring both sections remain active components of the sporting set up at the Memorial Grounds in Cobham. The charity also invested just under £35,000 in new hot water boilers and around £10,000 in upgrading the external entrance to the downstairs bar. 

The 2024/25 financial year has continued in a similar vein with significant investments in replacing the AGP floodlights with more energy efficient LED blubs and refurbishing and repainting the tennis and netball courts. Sporting activities have continued to flourish. Financially, the charity remains in a robust position and remains committed to developing further it’s sporting footprint. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the charity, and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of this report. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Review of financial position** 

The charity's financial position at the end of the reporting period is shown on the Balance Sheet on page 7. Net assets continue to exceed £2m. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees' policy is to endeavour to maintain sufficient unrestricted general funds to cover day-to-day resources expended by the charity for a period of at least twelve months. This level should enable the charity to continue to operate even if non-guaranteed funding were to drop unexpectedly. Current reserves and income levels presently exceed this aim. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Constitution** 

The charity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 10 December 2009 and is a registered charity, number 1133497. 

The principal objective of the charity is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Cobham and the surrounding areas by the provision of facilities for playing sports. 

## **Method of appointment or election of Trustees** 

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. 

## **Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees** 

Trustees are appointed by members of the management committee and inducted and trained by existing Trustees as to their responsibilities and duties. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Trustees' responsibilities statement** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Cobham Rugby & Sports Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Cobham Rugby & Sports Association (the 'charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no 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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Cobham Rugby & Sports Association meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

The charity does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds it is deemed a small company as per FRS102 Section 7. 

The financial accounts are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise specified in the accounting policies. 

The financial statements cover the charity as an individual entity and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

Significant accounting policies are set out below. 

## **1.2 GOING CONCERN** 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which means that the charity will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation, the trustees have taken into account the key risks of the charity. 

Having undertaken their assessment, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to meets its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. 

## **1.3 FUND ACCOUNTING** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.4 COMPANY STATUS** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1  per member of the charity. 

## **1.5 INVESTMENTS** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals are included in the statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account. 

## **1.6 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION** 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account. 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land - not depreciated - Artificial Grass Pitch ("AGP") 2.5% - 12.5% straight line - Roadways parking compound 2.5% straight line - Club operating capital projects 25% reducing balance Clubhouse - 2.5% - 5% straight line Fairmile Grounds - 3.33% straight line - Memorial pitch and irrigation 3.33% straight line - Tennis, netball courts and 5% - 20% straight line grounds equipment

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.7 INCOME** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate.  Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 

For donations to be recognised, the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the conditions are within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.8 DONATIONS AND VOLUNTARY INCOME** 

Income from donations, fundraising and other voluntary income are accounted for on a receivable basis. 

## **1.9 EXPENDITURE** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

## **1.10 CREDITORS** 

Trade and other creditors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Accruals are valued when an invoice has not been received before the year end but a specific amount relates to this financial year. 

## **1.11 DEBTORS** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **1.12 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **1.13 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## **1.14 OPERATING LEASES** 

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.15 BASIC FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **1.16 TAXATION** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the 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.
