Chairman's Report For The Year Ended 30 June 2023
We have continued to build following the severe disruption caused by SARS-CoV-2 with an increase in funds from pitch hire to £93,407, although overall income fell significantly because of the £39,782 received in 2022 due to the business interruption and grant payments as a result of Covid. These accounts now reflect normal activity and the Directors feel are indicative of the position going forward.
Sadly there has been no progress by WPSC for the development of the Centre again, There is now a new Director on the WPSC Board and we can only hope that he provides some impetus for future development of the Centre.
We lost one of our staff although they have been replaced. The Directors volunteered to provide cover had this not happened to ensure continuity of service.
We replaced the 5G on pitch 1 and this will be followed by the other two pitches when this is required.
Our efforts to recruit new Board members were unsuccessful in this financial year but we are pleased to confirm that whilst producing this report we have welcomed Sam Galloway, a former staff member at WPIFC to the board.
In summary WPIFC remains in a strong position to continue to provide the small sided football facilities for the people of South Masnchester.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2023
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 30 June 2023. 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 January2015).
The Trustees (who constitute directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their report together with the examined financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023 and confirm that the latter comply with the requirements of the Act, FRS 102, SORP and the Charities Act 2011.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are defined by the Memorandum and Articles of Association as:
"The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the residents of Sale in the Borough of Trafford and the neighborhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by the provision of facilities for playing small sided and indoor football."
Public benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives.
All our charitable activities focus on enabling our local community to lead healthier and happier lives by providing affordable facilities for small sided indoor football.
Being based in the heart of Sale and only a few hundred yards from Brooklands Metrolink station, the Centre continues to enable different age groups to enjoy the benefits of playing football. The younger section of our customer base has continued to expand, whilst still retaining regular users playing into their retirement, pointing to sustainable growth. Alongside this, we have also recently introduced 'Walking Football' groups, further promoting social inclusion and extended healthy living.
In addition to the charity, at selected times, makes the Centre available at no charge to organisations working with the unemployed.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Review
The statement of financial activities for the year is comprehensively reported on pages 7 - 15.
The statement of financial activities shows unrestricted income for the year of £97,234 with no restricted income. This was a decrease of £35,122 from prior year. This was due to a slight increase of £2,428 (3%) in block and casual bookings, offset by a £34,850 decrease in Business Interruption insurance claims relating to COVID-19 (£2,232 was still received during 2022-23), and a decrease of £2,700 commercial TV income (£nil in 2022-23). This resulted in a profit of £3,827.
Investment policy and objectives
Given the limited funds held by the charity and the very low interest rates available, there has been limited scope or need for investment planning. The continued need for infrastructure investment, will mean for the foreseeable future that income will be spent on important improvements to enable the company to deliver an improving service to our customers and clients.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure. This would provide sufficient funds to cover costs and to respond to unexpected events which may arise from time to time. In addition, the Trustees have further decided to allow the reserves to grow beyond this, with immediate further environmental investments necessary and the potential for significant expenditure on major capital expenditure in the future. This has been met for 2022/23.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Charity constitution and Governing document
The company was incorporated on 17 February 2011 under the Companies Act 2006 as a company limited by guarantee and not having share capital. In the event of a winding up, registered members are liable to contribute a sum not exceeding £10 per member towards the debts and liabilities of the Trust and the costs and expenses of winding up.
The charity, registered on 14 April 2011, is governed by the terms of its memorandum and articles of association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company.
Method of appointment of Trustees
New Trustees are recruited with a view to bringing the skills, knowledge and experience required to ensure the charity is well governed. Trustees are elected by the members of the charity attending the Annual General Meeting, or by proxy vote.
Organisational structure
The Centre's organisational structure is led by the board of directors whose direction is implemented by the Centre Manager supported by three other part time members of staff.
Induction and training of new trustees
Following appointment, all new trustees attend an induction with the Chairman. The induction includes provision to them of the following material; our Memorandum and Articles of Association, The Hallmarks of an Effective Charity CC10, The Essential Trustee CC3, details of the charities management accounts and access to shared company information and files along with URLs to relevant Charity Commission reference documentation.
Risk management
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that it is an ongoing focus of the trustees to adopt strategies and processes with the aim of eliminating or mitigating exposure to these risks.

Trustees' Responsibilities
Law applicable to incorporated charities in England and Wales requires the trustees, who are also the directors of the company, to prepare the financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities during the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102)
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
-
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
· prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of Information
So far as each trustee at the date of approval of this report is aware:
There is no relevant financial information of which the company's independent examiner is unaware: and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant financial information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.
Independent Examination of accounts
As allowed under Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011 and Sections 145 and 152 of the Act, Trustees of smaller charities are allowed to opt for this simpler form of external scrutiny in place of audit.
The independent examination provides an external check on the accounts and can be carried out by any person with the relevant ability and experience.
The Trustees are delighted to have used the assistance provided by James Wheelan Accountancy Limited to undertake this important task.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act
2006 relating to small companies.

Report of the Independent Examiner For The Year Ended 30 June 2023
Independent Examiners report to the Trustees of Walton Park Indoor Football Centre
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 set out on pages seven to fifteen.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
