Objectives and activities

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the commission relating to public benefit. The objects of the charity are:

Achievements and performance

The community sports facilities known as 'Youngs Park' have been utilised by the people of Aylsham and the wider community throughout the financial year, and continues to provide a valuable recreation space promoting fitness, health and well-being across a range of activities including football, running, karate, NHS community education, rehabilitation & recovery (Heart & Diabetes), fitness, and slimming classes.

Financial review

Total income amounted to £830,284 (2023: £34,473) and, after incurring expenditure of £45,089 (2023: £41,349), net income amounted to £785,195 (2023: net expenditure £6,876).

During the year grants of £794,816 were received towards the new 3G pitch, along with other donations of £13,977. The new 3G pitch has been capitalised.

At the year end the charity had total unrestricted funds of £2,741,737 (2023: £1,957,740) principally consisting of freehold property, being Youngs Park.

Principal funding sources

The charity receives donations under gift aid from its subsidiary Aylsham Community Sports Limited, along with grants from The Football Foundation and Greater Norwich Growth Board.

Reserves policy

The trustees are looking to build future reserves to be used at the discretion of the trustees towards maintaining and developing Youngs Park. Following the completion of construction of the 3G pitch, the the trustees are in the process of determining a suitable reserve policy which will ensure the safeguarding of assets and facilities for future generations.

Free reserves amounted to £40,024 (2023: £53,479).

Plans for future periods

The trade of Aylsham Community Sports Limited, the subsidiary company, relies on use of the Youngs Park facilities by community groups. With demand for the grass football pitches exceeding capacity, the Trust acquired funding (and approval) and as at 31 May 2024 was in the final stages of the build phase for a new state of the art 3G pitch with floodlights. The project works completed during June 24, with a formal community opening being held in September 2024 following a "soft launch" to test operational readiness.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Youngs Community Sports Trust

Year ended 31 May 2024

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 May 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements 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 your company's financial statements as 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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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 that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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

  4. the financial statements 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).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Consolidation

The charity is not required to prepare consolidated accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, and has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the charity and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 31 May 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% straight line
Plant and machinery - 10-25% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line

Included within freehold property is land which is not depreciated.

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

The Youngs Community Sports Trust

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 31 May 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Investments (continued)

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.
