TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective January 2015).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The Charity's objective is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation and in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of facilities for the playing of hockey. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
During the period under review the facility was used by local schools, clubs and other community organisations as part of healthy recreation and sporting activity for public benefit.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
In 2010 the Consortium leased a parcel of land (part of the Hewett School site) from the Central Norwich Foundation Trust and gained planning permission for two hockey pitches. The first pitch was opened in June 2011. In December 2014 the Consortium agreed to sub-let part of the land to the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST) in order for them to build a pitch for the Norwich High School for Girls (NHSG) using the planning permission already in place. Whilst not members of the Consortium, GDST and NHSG agreed to certain conditions as part of the arrangement, the principal conditions being:
-
primarily through Norwich Dragons Hockey Club, to allow community use of the pitch in the evenings and at weekends
-
to ensure the Consortium pitch was booked by outside users, if it was available, before the High School pitch
-
to provide financial, planning and project management resources to support the construction of a pavilion at the site, this specific offer was officially withdrawn by GDST in November 2018
The second pitch was completed in June 2015.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Achievements and performance (continued)
In September 2015 The Hewett School became an academy (The Hewett Academy) sponsored by the Inspiration Trust, however, this will not affect the Consortium's lease and a close working relationship remains with The Hewett Academy. Mr P Andrews, former governor of The Hewett School, was asked to remain as a Trustee and Director of the Consortium by his fellow Trustees.
A new membership was signed on 2 October 2023. The agreement continues to reflect that the business of the Consortium is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation and in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of facilities for the playing of hockey.
The period under review reflects the twelfth full year of the facility. Income generated was sufficient to cover annual expenses and provide £20,000 towards the sinking fund for replacement of the carpet, the facility continues to be maintained to a first class condition.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees plan on the basis that regular income will be received from the members and primary users of the facility at a level that will cover annual expenses, plus a sinking fund for major works. Income levels are set each year by the Trustees based on expected expenses. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
b. Reserves policy
As at 31 July 2025, total funds held amounted to £546,027 (2024: £507,427). Included in this amount was £260,000 (2024: £240,000) of restricted funds representing the sinking fund. The bulk of the charity’s assets are therefore represented by its fixed assets together with the cash reserves held as the sinking fund. The charity also retains sufficient free reserves to cover operational expenditure for a minimum period of 12 months.
The sinking fund is budgeted to accumulate over the expected lifetime of the artificial pitch surface. Contributions are made annually based on the estimated replacement cost and the anticipated lifespan of the pitch. The objective is to ensure that sufficient funds are available to replace the pitch when required, without compromising the Club’s ongoing operations or financial sustainability.
The reserves will be reviewed annually by the Committee to confirm that the sinking fund remains on track to meet its purpose and that overall reserves are appropriate for the Charity’s needs.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Company was incorporated as a private company limited by guarantee on 17 August 2010. The Company's articles of association were amended on 4 August 2011 and was registered by the Charity Commission on 15 August 2011, with registered charity number 1143340.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Structure, governance and management (continued)
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
All decision making and responsibility for overseeing day-to-day activities is the responsibility of the Trustees.
d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
All Trustees receive copies of the Company's articles and are provided with access to Charity Commission guidance as part of initial induction and continuing training.
Plans for future periods
Future periods will reflect income generated from use of the facilities by local schools, clubs and community groups. In addition, certain free of charge and reduced rate usage will again be arranged for local community groups and England Hockey Single System use as per the Community Use Agreement.
The Consortium intends to continue a relationship with the Inspiration Trust to encourage more use of the facility by the Hewett Academy and other schools within the Trust.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company 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 . 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 Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 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 Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Central Norwich Hockey Consortium Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors 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 under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters 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 Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Central Norwich Hockey Consortium Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees plan on the basis that regular income will be received from the members and primary users of the facility at a level that will cover annual expenses, plus a sinking fund for major works. Income levels are set each year by the Trustees based on expected expenses. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Company status
The Company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the Company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the Company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Company.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
The capital contributions made by Town Close Educational Trust Limited represent a programme related investment by that charity and is reflected as deferred income. This sum is to be converted to a grant by Town Close Educational Trust Limited over the life of the facilities.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Hockey pitch 12 to 60 years - Plant and machinery 10 years

1.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
1.11 Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
