WEST OLDHAM TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07006913)
Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 August 2024
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 31 August 2024. 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 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the Trust are to advance the education of pupils at the schools, to advance the education of other members of the community and otherwise to benefit the community.
Significant activities
The pitch bookings continue to exceed our capacity. This year we have had to do some remedial work on the pitch to ensure it received the certificate from The FA.
The pitch is near the end of its life, having being installed in 2011, although it is still in good condition and we have begun the process with The Football Foundation to submit an application for a replacement. This is going to need match funding and we will be looking to WOT to contribute as much as possible.
Public benefit
West Oldham Trust provides benefits to the public by the provision of a pitch which contributes to the education of both pupils of the member schools and to other members of the community. This helps families achieve well-being and creates a social environment for children that provides enjoyment and enables them to keep physically fit.
The trust has maintained the pitch to a high standard during the year and this has helped to maintain the levels of enjoyment by families as it provides a safe, clean and modern environment to undertake the relevant activities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Income during the year to 31 August 2024 has seen an decrease (2023: increase) to £59,101 as opposed to £63,853 in the previous year.
Overall expenditure was £27,176 (2023: £29,626) with the decrease largely being attributable to work carried out to reshape the banking and membership fees for the Oldham Pledge last year which has not occurred this year.
A surplus of income over expenditure (2023: surplus) was achieved in the year to 31 August 2024 amounting to £31,925 2023: £34,227).
Unrestricted funds continue to remain healthy and have increased by £29,637 (2023: £34,227) to £164,542 (2023: £134,905).
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees adopt a risk averse investment policy, while seeking to obtain a good income return. Funds are held in the bank current account. At the present time, the trust does not utilise any deposit or savings accounts choosing to invest all surpluses back into the trust to enable the provision of high quality services to its users.
Reserves policy
All funds raised are for the benefit of the Trust. In the interest of the longer term continuity of the Trust, the trustees aim to keep at least one year's revenue receipts within reserves.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Trust is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. They are satisfied that the trustee meetings provide the necessary safeguards to enable the mitigation of any significant risk exposure.

-
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.

WEST OLDHAM TRUST
Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 August 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) as well as the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
Pitch rental is recognised once an activity has taken place. Prior to the booking, monies received are recognised as deferred income until the contractual obligations to the customer have been fulfilled.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost
The company carries tangible fixed assets in the balance sheet using the depreciated historic cost method.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial instruments
Financial Instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the transaction as either a financial asset, liability or equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after all liabilities have been deducted.
Cash at bank is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Creditors and accruals are financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost.
