Burwell Community Sports Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company number is 7752933. The directors/trustees oversee the management of the sports centre and employ a manager and several part-time staff in an operational capacity. Directors/trustees are recruited locally. Two representatives of Burwell Parish Council, the relevant minor authority, attend directors’/trustees’ meetings in a non-voting capacity.
The facilities include a sports hall, an upstairs dance studio and a floodlit all-weather pitch.
Activities during the year
At the start of the year the centre was required to follow Government guidelines, restricting indoor sports activities for adults. When the restrictions were lifted in the summer the centre returned to a full program of activities in the autumn and winter.
The manager continued to work on a part-time basis so that he could concentrate on his university studies. He was able to maintain all essential administrative functions despite his reduced working hours. He negotiated and completed grant application forms to the Football Foundation for an award of £25000 towards the costs of resurfacing the floodlit allweather pitch.
The manager was left with little time to focus on the development of new sports activities or other improvement to the facilities.
During the summer when the centre was less busy the reduction in the manager’s working hours was easily absorbed. This became more challenging during the busy autumn and winter periods. Management and support of the part-time staff may have suffered. It is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit and retain part-time staff. Three part-time workers resigned at the end of the year, one for vocational reasons and the other two because they were moving from the area.
Financial Report
The accounts for the year ended 31/03/2022 show a surplus of £35247. Turnover from sporting activities and exercise classes was £73302 some way below pre-Covid annual turnover of £90000. However, the centre was under Covid restrictions for the early part of the year. Some groups and individuals were slow to return to activities.
The centre benefitted from Government Covid business recovery grants of £21000 and a further £4000 funding allocation from the National Leisure Recovery Fund. These grants were administered by East Cambridgeshire District Council. The centre claimed furlough support of £4302 from the HMRC Job Retention Scheme.
The surplus was generated both by the grants and reduced staffing costs.
The centre is now liable to pay business rates. As a registered charity it qualified for 80% mandatory business rates relief, discretionary rate relief of £2000 and a retail discount for this financial year.
The centre operates two reserve funds, neither of which is currently restricted as the funds have been generated from annual surpluses. The astro reserve bank account held a sinking fund of £47102 at 31/03/2022 towards the replacement of the surface of the floodlit allweather pitch. Some of this fund will be used next year to resurface the pitch. The maintenance reserve bank account held funds of £38830 at 31/03/2022.
In August the centre commenced paying monthly repayments of the bank loan. The balance outstanding on the loan at 31/03/2022 was £19500.
Other matters
The charity does not hold any funds as custodian trustee on behalf of others.

Independent Examiners Report on the Accounts of Burwell Sports Centre
Year Ended 31 March 2022
The trustees of Burwell Sports Centre are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, and consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011(the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 of disclosure in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning 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.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which:
-
gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements to:
-
keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act; have not been met; or
-
in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
