Saxton Cricket Club
Trustees Report for Charity Commission and members – 2020/21
As you can will see from the accounts, we sit around the £10k mark in terms of finaical holdings, which is remarkable considering what impact the last few years could have had.
Our strategic position remains that with a facility and building of our size, we will try and leave this amount as a minimum within the account, as going any lower would in our opinion leave the club in a parlous position when we have outgoing overheads of approx £5k a year to pay for insurance, league fees, water etc.
Income and expenditure has been higher than normal this year as the club to access government grants connected to Covid and has meant that there have been some relatively large purchases of equipment to do with the ground, but our medium and long term financial strategy is to treat this income as one-off and highly unlikely to continue even at a lesser level, and that to stay financially stable from 2022 season we will to go back to a model of “Expenditure vs Subs/Fees/Sponsorship”.
For those who do not know, the club has finally been able to resolve its long-term dispute with HMRC, and this should allow to club to move forward with more certainty.
The club, I feel, has been relatively generous to the players in that whilst it has made good efforts to collect subs (and to a lesser extent tea monies), as a group we have not fully enforced the settling of these fees in all age groups. This is understandable as Covid has impacted us all, but I feel should not carry on as will create an uneven scenario for members as well as affect club finances.
We would like to thank all members, friends and family whom have made donations to the club, and if a journey of “improvement” is to continue at Saxton, as a collective we will have to complete a wider range of fund-raising activities in 2022 to meet these aspirations.
Yours faithfully

- – Saxton Cricket Club Charity Accounts Auditors Report 2020/21
As “someone who would have good financial understanding”, through my professional role of Senior Business intelligence Officer for City of York Council, I have been asked by the Treasurer of Saxton Cricket Club to review this year’s accounts.
In a similar way to how I support internal audits for the Council on various datasets, I have looked at a number of processes listed below and can confirm that these have been carried out correctly;
-
Check between Bank accounts and final accounts;
-
Check of financials calculations used in final accounts (and supporting Excel);
-
Spot-Check of individual lines of expenditure and that club has invoices for these ;
-
Check to make sure accounts categorised correctly;
As the Income of the charity is just over the £25k threshold, I feel that an appropriate level of diligence has been undertaken.
Yours faithfully
