Trustees Report for the Year ended 31[st] December 2025
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the company for the year ended 31st December 2025.
The Charity's objects are to promote, for the residents of Swavesey and the surrounding area: participation in healthy recreation by providing grounds and premises for playing amateur sports and team games, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions. The Trustees are aware of their duty under s.17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the Public Benefit Guidance published by the Charity Commission.
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds 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.
Swavesey Community Pavilion Limited is a registered charity, number 1140247, and is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (not having a share capital), company number 07499930. The Charity manages the running and development of a community pavilion sited on the Swavesey village green, consisting of changing rooms, a kitchen and community room. These facilities are available for hire to local community groups and members of the public for appropriate activities in order to fund the upkeep of the pavilion.
The Directors and Trustees who served the charitable company during the year were as follows:
Stuart Damian Faben

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees
As described on the statement of financial position, the Trustees of Swavesey Community Pavilion Limited are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 , which comprise the income statement and statement of financial position.
You consider that the company is exempt from an audit under the Companies Act 2006. In accordance with your instructions, I have compiled these unaudited financial statements in order to assist you to fulfil your statutory responsibilities, from the accounting records and from information and explanations supplied to me.
My work as an accountant has been undertaken solely to prepare for your approval the financial statements of Swavesey Community Pavilion Limited and to state those matters that I have agreed to state to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in this report in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act). I undertake to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act)
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)b of the Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act and to prepare accounts which accord with accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of the 2011 Act, have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounting statements to be reached.
