TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Brighton & Hove Amateur Boxing Club for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Since the charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director’s Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
The charity’s main objective is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for amateur boxing in the Brighton and Hove area.
ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES
The Brighton and Hove Amateur Boxing Club offers training and coaching to people of all age groups within the Brighton and Hove area.
The boxing club provides and maintains all the necessary boxing facilities and equipment to carry out their objectives.
MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE CHARITY’S PURPOSES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees confirm that they have regard to the Charity Commission Guidance issued by the Charity Commission https://www.gov.uk/guidance/public-benefit-rules-for-charities.
VOLUNTEERS
In pursuance of its charitable objective, the Club has a number of qualified and experienced boxing coaches who volunteer to work with the Club members. There is no remuneration for these volunteers.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
SUMMARY OF MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
The club has significantly increased the numbers of young people who attend this club for group boxing training sessions.
The feedback from the parents and guardians of the young people is that the discipline of both the training and the group participation is having a positive impact on the young people’s behaviour both at home and at school.
They report to the staff that many of the young people who attend have gained in confidence through the encouragement and positive role models they receive at the club.
The young people themselves report that they feel more confident and also that the advice they receive on healthy eating and exercise has helped them improve overall fitness.
In addition the club has mentored some children who have been advised to attend the gym specifically to benefit from appropriate role models. It is reported that some of these children have had significantly improved behaviour both at home and in school as a result of the clubs interventions.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT CONTINUED
FINANCIAL REVIEW
GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The charity needs to bring in additional financial resources to ensure financial stability. Although all costs are covered, the Charity needs to build up more reserves to ensure there are no cashflow issues.
There is a strong reliance on volunteers to provide their specialist coaching skills.
Consideration needs to be given to the lease arrangements for the club site given the local authority plans for redevelopment in the area which might pose a threat to occupancy of the current premises.
FUNDS
The charity made a net profit in the year of £12,800 (2022: loss of £13,669) this has resulted in closing reserves showing funds of £16,518 (2022: £3,718).
PRINCIPAL FUNDING
Club members pay a small fee for each training session. The boxing club holds fundraising boxing events throughout the year.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

TRUSTEES’ REPORT CONTINUED
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Trustees (who are also directors of Brighton & Hove Amateur Boxing Club for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BRIGHTON & HOVE AMATEUR BOXING CLUB
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on the after 1 January 2015.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Trustees, who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under charity or company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
