AcNviNes during the year
At the start of the year our long-serving manager, Daniel Gullon, resigned to concentrate on his sports therapy studies at university. It was helpful that he gave several months’ noNce. He leZ at the end of June. He has been a very efficient and conscienNous manager of the sports centre. We were fortunate to recruit Ben Hyde as our new full-Nme manager. He has considerable experience of working in the leisure industry. Ben started working at the sports centre at the beginning of September.
inexperienced 20-year-olds with assistance from two acNve directors/trustees. One of the 20-year-olds leZ in September to return to university. The other grew into the job and leZ in March 2023 to work full-Nme in the NHS. The manager recruited two new hard-working and capable part-Nme workers in September. We also recruited two new enthusiasNc directors.
During the summer our landlord, Cambridgeshire County Council, installed new surface water drainage systems at the centre and resurfaced the car park. The car park had been prone to flooding following heavy rainfall. The council paid the costs of the project.
Following the success of a grant applicaNon to the Football FoundaNon for £25000, we arranged for Dura-Sport Ltd to resurface our ageing floodlit all-weather 5-aside pitch. The total cost was £42214. We paid £17214 from the funds we have for pitch maintenance from the sinking fund. The resurfacing of the pitch soon led to renewed interest from the local football club and other groups of footballers to book the facility.
The new manager spent most of the autumn and winter familiarising himself with centre procedures, staff training and gegng to know centre customers. He was able to run a full program of acNviNes in the sports hall and studio.
Financial Report
In September 2022 we increased our prices by an average of 13% to cover the increase in staff and supply costs as a result of the rise in inflaNon. Burwell is situated in a high wage, low unemployment area. In order to recruit and retain staff, our pay rates have to compete with high local pay rates. We were concerned about the increases in the costs of electricity and heaNng oil.
accounts show a net surplus of £743. We met the target. Earnings from ordinary acNviNes rose from £73302 to £78596. As predicted, there were increases in staff and supply costs. Staff costs rose from £32019 to £36962. Electricity costs almost doubled from £5806 to £11586. HeaNng oil costs increased from £2855 to £3643.
The centre operates two reserve funds, neither of which is currently restricted as the funds have been generated from annual surpluses and unrestricted grants. Funds in the astro reserve fund were reduced to £29932 at 31/03/23 following the resurfacing of the pitch. The maintenance reserve bank account held funds of £38889 at 31/03/23. This may be required for replacement flooring in the sports hall. The business bank loan carries a fixed rate of interest of 2.5%. The balance outstanding on the loan at 31/03/23 was £15000.
Other ma^ers
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 2023
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
