COBHAM RUGBY & SPORTS ASSOCIATION (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the financial year from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. 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
The 2024/25 financial year saw the charity and its trading subsidiaries again perform robustly despite a tough inflationary environment with strong aggregate net cash generation of just under £33,000. Following years of prudent financial management, the charity was well placed to meet these 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 continue to make 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 & Covenham Grounds is now a constant presence nearly every day of the year from early in the morning till late at night.
Following delays in our plans to upgrade the tennis and netball courts we have spent £21,300 refurbishing the courts’ surface, allowing tennis and netball members to continue their use of the facilities whilst we pursue longer term plans to upgrade them with floodlighting. We also spent £28,400 on replacing the floodlights on the AGP with more energy efficient LED equipment which has already delivered significant electricity cost savings, despite the background of increasing energy prices, and an improved sporting experience.
The 2025/26 financial year has continued in a similar vein. We are one of the first junior rugby clubs to construct a mobile viewing platform for our spectators with a particular emphasis on making it user friendly for our disabled members. We have invested just over £42,000 in the stand, funded by generous donations from our members and friends and from our own reserves. We have also spent £12,000 on replacing the dance floor and carpets in our upstairs function room ensuring the facility provides an excellent hospitality experience for all its users.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
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.
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 stand at £1.9m (2024: 2.1m)
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.
Exemptions from disclosure
The charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare a statement of cashflows on the basis that it is deemed a small company under FRS102 section 7. The charity has taken the exemption under FRS102 section 33.1A not to disclose transactions and balances with other group companies, on the basis that they are wholly owned subsidiaries.

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
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. If the instruments are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment shall be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of financial activities incorporating the income and expenditure account. All other such investments shall be measured at cost less impairment.
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 the 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% - 25% straight line Fairmile Grounds - 3.33% straight line Memorial pitch and irrigation - 3.33% straight line Tennis, netball courts and - 5% - 33.33% straight line grounds equipment

COBHAM RUGBY & SPORTS ASSOCIATION (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
- 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, in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
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.
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.
- 1.8 DONATIONS AND VOLUNTARY INCOME
Income from donations, fundraising and other voluntary income are accounted for on a receivable basis.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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 transaction amount after any trade discount offered. Accruals are recognised when an invoice has not been received before the year end but the expense relates to this financial year.
1.11 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the transaction 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 is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
1.13 LIABILITIES
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.15 BASIC FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
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.
