TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
Objectives and activities
Summary of the objectives of the charity set out in its governing document/constitution.
The promotion of the efficiency of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment ("SRR") and all predecessors thereto (the "Regiment") of the Crown by the provision and support of facilities and activities and fostering of 'esprit de corps' for the efficiency and well-being of service personnel.
The relief of need to past and present members of the Regiment and their dependants by providing such persons with the provision of financial support and welfare projects which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means (the "Beneficiaries").
Summary of the main activities undertaken this year measured against the objectives of the charity:
Achievements:
The SRRA remain focused on providing welfare support and assistance to former and serving members of the Regiment and their immediate families. All activities for our membership post the COVID restrictions have now thankfully returned to normal. These continue to be measured against our Charter and Constitution.
The SRRA Executive (Trustee) Committee continues to hold its biannual meetings; during which they review and endorse the current and forecasted activities of the charity, as well as its future goals. To help aid this process the SRRA Business Plan will be revised in the spring of 2023.
The Charity needs to raise a minimum of £250k per year to meet its current welfare commitments and running costs. If difficulties were to arise, it has been calculated that in a worst-case scenario an unrestricted income reserve of £300k would be needed for it to continue operating for at least 12 months. This sum is already secured and held in reserve and includes designated funds to respond to contingency related bereavement expenses. These are attributed (but not limited) to funeral expenses, travel, and accommodation in the event of the death of a serving member of the Regiment (whilst in service or otherwise).
As new endorsed welfare projects begin to mature our expenditure is predicted to increase. As an example, our Trustees are currently conducting a feasibility study into the provision of private health care, initially for the immediate families of serving members of the Regiment, but in tandem the Trustees are also investigating health care pathways for its Veterans,

SPECIAL RECONNAISSANCE REGIMENTAL ASSOCIATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Our current income is reliant on two core strands: benefactors and exclusive fundraising events. This financial year has been by far our best, since the foundation of the Association’s charitable arm. This is mainly due to three key events. The 2022 Annual SRRA Charity Gala Dinner was the most successful thus far. Secondly, donations were received following a smaller private fundraising dinner organised by high net worth individuals. Lastly, we received a significant donation from the EON Productions James Bond 60[th] anniversary auction held at Christies. In addition, serving members of the Regiment are voluntary donating one day’s pay annually to the Charity.
To help increase our fundraising, the Charity is actively seeking financial guidance to create an investment portfolio to not only safeguard its long-term future and welfare commitments, but also hopefully act as an income generator. The Trustees have now received three investment briefings including one from the Charitable Aid Foundation. The successful bid will be endorsed during the first 2023 Trustee meeting. The Trustees have also endorsed the formation of a Fundraising Subcommittee. Its structure and initial terms of reference have been established by the Chair and were reported to the Trustees in early 2023. Further work is ongoing, before it becomes operational.
In summary, this has been an extremely successful year. Our funds have significantly recovered from the pandemic, and we have now secured a healthy balance moving forward. With the implementation of a Fundraising Subcommittee and a forthcoming endorsement for an investment portfolio we hope to financially increase our ability to deliver welfare support to former and serving members of the SRRA and their immediate families at a time of need.

SPECIAL RECONNAISSANCE REGIMENTAL ASSOCIATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Special Reconnaissance Regimental Association is a unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the company 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.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the company and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the company.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Equipment 20% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/ (expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

SPECIAL RECONNAISSANCE REGIMENTAL ASSOCIATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
