The Rugby Fives Association Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 July 2025
The Trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025. 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 Rugby Fives Association was set up to promote community participation in the sport of Rugby Fives and such other amateur sports as the trustees shall determine by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for the playing of Rugby Fives (facilities means land, buildings, equipment and organising sporting activities).
The charity also aims to advance physical education of young persons by assisting in the provision of facilities for the playing and learning of Rugby Fives in schools and universities.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year, the RFA continued to support the playing of Rugby Fives at schools and clubs. The Trustees have developed and are implementing a strategy aimed at sustaining, nurturing and growing the game of Rugby Fives.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position

The main drivers for the increase in income compared to the prior year include an increase in the value of oneoff donations to £6,675 (2024 - £1,964) which relate primarily to donations received for the purpose of renovating the courts at Stoke Newington School, and Gift Aid claimed in the year to £6,340 (2024 - £Nil).
The main drivers for the increase in expenditure relate to increased levels of grants issued of £12,383 (2024 - £3,045), the expanded subsidisation of student travel and accommodation costs at tournaments of £4,769 (2024 - £2,810), and the subsidisation of coaches at clubs of £2,138 (2024 - £Nil).

The Rugby Fives Association Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 July 2025
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The accounts 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, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going concern
Regulatory requirements mean that the trustees are obliged to take into account all available information about the future, for at least, but not limited to, the period of 12 months from the date the accounts are approved. In accordance with these requirements, and taking into account the challenges of financial forecasting in the current circumstances, the Board is satisfied that reasonable financial assumptions have been incorporated in financial projections for the period subsequent to the year end and until July 2026. The Board considers that mitigating actions would be effective and sufficient to ensure the charity’s continued viability.
For these reasons and based on the assessment undertaken, the Board confirms it has a reasonable expectation that the charity will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of the assessment to the end of July 2026.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
The charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
It is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
-
The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the above general income recognition criteria are met.
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which give a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure and Liabilities
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accrual basis, inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered.
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant, a liability for the full funding obligation is recognised.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Laptop - straight line over 5 years
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
