## **2. Trustees Report 2025**
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company. This trustees' report includes the directors' report and as such fulfils the requirements by company law.
## 2.1 Trustees
Mr S Clements Mr S Gilderdale Mr J H Gill Mr S J Hornby Mr K Laycock Mr G Parker Mr M Sinclair-Sly
## 2.2 Objectives and activities
The objective of the club shall be to promote and further the interests of Rugby League in Blackpool and wherever possible the surrounding areas.
The aims and objectives should be consistent with the furthering of equal opportunities.
## 2.3 Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## 2.4 Financial Review
The club maintained its policy of making rugby league free at the point of delivery with no players paying subscriptions. However, every member was encouraged to support the recycling policy of the club by donating clothes and textiles and also to join the club lottery. There were a number of events in 2025 where members were encouraged to volunteer to help raise club funds through these events.
The National Governing Body, The Rugby Football League, continued to charge a fee for all participants in the community game. The fee varied by age group from £15 for the youngest members to up to £26 to older age groups. The club was only able to finance these fees at primary age groups (up to under 11 or school year 6) in 2025.
The club maintained a fully operational club house at Kingscote Park, Layton. All facilities both social and playing were fully available to members and guests throughout the year. Most clubhouse revenue was generated by junior/youth rugby home games with the revenue profile moving from Licensed wet sales to Company Number 07104788 Charity Number : 1139190 Page 5
**Blackpool Stanley Rugby League Club**
Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2025
food and none licensed wet sales. Revenue from licensed bar sales was down on previous years due to the club running less over 18 teams than in previous years. Masters (over 35) bar sales did help with licensed bar sales but not to the extent as in previous years (i.e. when the club was running open age rugby).
Expenditure in 2025 included the purchase of a New Junior Kit at the cost of £3K. This Asset will be written off over 3 years, with no additional Junior Kit purchases required in 2026 or 2027.
Other additional Expenditure in 2025 included the final payment to Wigan Warriors for the 2024 Development Project and the club also held a combined end of season Presentation Night at a third party venue.
Income from the Hire of the Clubhouse was down significantly in 2025 compared to 2024 as no revenue was received from utilising the club as a Polling Station as was the case in 2024.
The club increased the numbers subscribing to the club lottery during 2025. Promoting the lottery amongst junior and youth teams helped increase lottery participation but the introduction of walking rugby at the club was a major factor in increasing participation in the club lottery.
The club remained a fully accredited member of Ofgem’s Non Domestic Renewal Heat Incentive and submitted regular quarterly energy readings throughout 2025. The club received payments from the scheme quarterly throughout 2025. Utility costs, particularly electricity, were managed closely such that costs were reduced when the club was closed and ultimately this impacted the amount of heat generated and the amount of revenue received through the RHI scheme.
The club continued to work with Blackpool Council, the landlord, with a view to improving the facilities at Kingscote Park. The facilities currently restricts the options available to grow more variants of Rugby League and overall participation numbers.
## 2.5 Reserves Policy
The charity operates a reserves policy that reviews the amount of reserves required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations on a quarterly basis.
## 2.6 Going concern
Due to the increased number of none specific rugby league activity generating additional income and the close monitoring of expenditure the club continues to be a going concern.
## 2.7 Achievements and Performance 2025

- Increasing the use of the club house by other community groups.
- Increasing the number of community events on the park that will bring increased use and revenues to the club house.
- Look to open the kitchen and bar for more hours each week outside of rugby events
- Look to run summer camps in 2026 with funding via HAF.
## 2.9 Structure, Governance & Management
Blackpool Stanley operates a Governance model which is open, inclusive and seeks to represent the wishes of its members in the pursuit of the club’s objectives. An executive Board, elected by the members annually, ensures that the club operates within the memorandum and articles of association and that volunteer and official time is focused and targeted at achieving the overall club objectives. A series of committees representing the different functional areas of the club (Youth/Junior rugby section, Commercial, Events, Press and Marketing) are established to deal with the day to day running of the club. These committees come together periodically as a management committee to assess the progress of the club. The terms of reference for these committees together with those of the Executive Board and the Management Board are held within the RFL approved club mark file. The Executive Board ensures that the various committees work together to achieve the club objectives and manage this through the Management Board. All meetings held within the governance structure are minuted and minutes are held by the appropriate secretary or chairperson.

## **5. Accounting Policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:
## **Statement of compliance**
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 the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of Preparation**
Blackpool Stanley Rugby League Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost of transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going Concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The Charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and exemptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not really apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historic experience and other factors that are considered 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are detailed in the accounting policies.
## **Income and Endowments**
Voluntary income including donations and grants are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty or receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Sales income from the bar, shirt & ticket sales, donated goods and income derived from events is recognised as earned [that is, as the related goods or services are provided]. As is other income such as income from the renewable heat incentive, hire of the clubhouse and commission.
## **Donations and Legacies**
Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the Charity before the Charity is entitled to the funds,
Company Number 07104788 Charity Number : 1139190 Page 15
**Blackpool Stanley Rugby League Club** Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2025
the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
## **Grants receivable**
Grants are recognised when the Charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included in the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## **Charitable activities**
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Grant provisions**
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the amount of grant payable.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the Charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including accountancy, strategic management and Trustee’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
## **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 in 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.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Company Number 07104788 Charity Number : 1139190
Page 16
**Blackpool Stanley Rugby League Club** Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2025
Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Furniture and equipment 35% reducing balance Plant and machinery 35% straight line
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
