CRAMLINGTON IN THE COMMUNITY CRAMLINGTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to educate and assist young people in the Cramlington area to develop through leisure activities, their physical, mental and spiritual capacities as they grow to full maturity. It aims to improve their conditions of life and in particular to provide training on the skills to allow personal development, without discriminating on the grounds of sex, race, religion or ability. The charity promotes community participation for healthy recreation for the public benefit by the provision of facilities and coaching for the playing of football and providing community activities and cohesion.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

The main activities are as follows:

We are well under way with the redevelopment of the sports pitches at East Hartford and planning has been successful for the extension of the pavilion.

CRAMLINGTON IN THE COMMUNITY CRAMLINGTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022

Achievements and performance

2020-21 was again very much interrupted due to Covid, with many of the Winter months missed in terms of being able to host any activities and participate in sport.

Eventually, games started again for the last few months of the season, but it was in no way a normal end to the season, with cup finals generally unable to be played, presentations cancelled, and end of season trips postponed.

A major development during the course of the year was the start of the new building extension which allowed us to call on volunteer tradesmen from within our ranks to help get the building to foundations and dpm , sadly one of the hurdles we faced was the dramatic rise in the costs of building materials with Covid 19 been the catalyst for the price increase never the less we managed to continue with the build and completion is planned for spring 23

Thanks go to everyone who has worked behind the scenes to make this happen, as well as to those coaches who

helped with filling rubbish skips and cleaning up.

The charity has ambitious plans regarding how to continue to develop the site, building on the existing infrastructure which is already in place. The charity grew again in terms of numbers - currently running 16 junior teams, along with two senior teams. We now have more than 300 registered players and over 30 volunteer coaches.

In addition, we ran holiday activity camps for 70+ children a day with support from Northumberland County Council and external funding to ensure young people in the are had activities during school holiday and more importantly had access to a hot meal every day.

We have around 30 young children regularly attend the popular Saturday development session, whilst on a Sundays our rising stars program has continued to grow, with 20 girls attending, aged between 5 and 11, all brand new to football. Another real sign of progress being made is that the club now has 3 girls teams,.

In terms of people, great and selfless work has been undertaken by committee during the pandemic - keeping everyone safe and participating as much as possible within Government guidance.

It was disappointing that for the second consecutive year, the charity was unable to hold its planned end of season presentation, which is always a great opportunity for players, parents, and coaches to get together in order to celebrate the season gone. A positive though, was seeing many teams run their own smaller team presentations, at the same time as adhering to the guidelines, with coaches adapting to the situation - holding small presentations outdoors, either in gardens or on the field. We look forward to the new financial year and the plan taking the charity forward in the next stages of its development.

Risk review

The trustees continually review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure that systems are in place to mitigate the risks identified. We believe the major risk affecting us is “child protection

We work with our affiliated body the Northumberland Football Association to ensure that all the children who attend our sessions and events are fully safeguarded.

All our coaches are DBS checked, first aid trained and have completed a safe guarding certification course to ensure that during their time with us the children and vulnerable adults are fully protected.

Financial review

The financial results are set out in the statement of financial activities.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

CRAMLINGTON IN THE COMMUNITY CRAMLINGTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Cramlington In The Community is an unincorporated association governed by its constitution.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements 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 the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

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 £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT.

CRAMLINGTON IN THE COMMUNITY CRAMLINGTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements 10% per annum straight line Plant and machinery 20% per annum straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% per annum straight line Motor vehicles 20% per annum straight line

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at banks and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
