Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
The club is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 June 2011 and registered as a charity on 16 May 2011. The company was established under Articles of Association which establish the objects and powers of the charitable company. In the event of the company being wound up the members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
The club was formed to take over the operations of Didsbury Toc H RFC, an unincorporated association which had been a rugby club in South Manchester since 1924.
Directors
All directors give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the club. The existing directors are responsible for the recruitment and training of new directors. All directors are all reappointed each year at the AGM.
Risk management
The directors have assessed the risks the club faces, considering both the likelihood of those risks and measures taken to manage them. Insurance is in place and finances are kept under review.
Related parties
The club uses playing fields leased by Didsbury Playing Fields Association (DPFA) a company formed and managed jointly by the club and Burnage Metro FC Ltd. The DPFA works very closely with the club who appoint half of its directors.
Didsbury Sports Ground Limited (DSG) - DSG is the trading subsidiary of DPFA and manages the facilities on its behalf.
Objectives and activities
Purposes and Aims
The purpose of the club as set out in the objects contained in the articles of association are:
-
to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for playing rugby union football and other sports - to provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life; and
-
to advance the education of children and young people through such means as the Directors think fit in accordance with the law of charity
Achievements and performance
The focus of our work
Throughout the 2023/24 season the club ran four senior teams in the Lancashire leagues. It also has a thriving junior section. Full details and match reports may be found on our website www.didsburyrfc.co.uk

Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year end 29 June 2024
Who used and benefited from our services?
The majority of the club membership is drawn from the local community, especially the junior members. We are developing a good relationship with local student bodies and have hosted several student matches.
Public benefit
The Directors confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives when planning future activities.
Financial review
The clubs financial position is steady. General fund income and expenditure is stable and comparable with previous years.
Reserves policy
The club seeks to hold at least six months subscription income in general fund as a buffer against future uncertainties.
Development fund
In conjunction with Burnage Metro FC Ltd the club has been raising funds to enhance the facilities available at Simon Field. This project has been organised by the DPFA and the club has gifted funds raised for this purpose to the DPFA in this period and may do so again in the future.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Didsbury Toc H RFC Limited for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK 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 charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Didsbury Toc H RFC Limited.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act), as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the Act, as amended; to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 any 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.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to financial statements
for the year ended 29 June 2024
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.
1.1. Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008), the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in June 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Companies Act 2006.
1.2. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.3. Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.
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.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management.
