TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Incorporating the Directors' Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31* MAY 2021
## WORTLEY RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED
## Chairman's Report
Well, here goes with a really strange review of our fantastic Wortley Rugby Union Football Club. What a terrible time for everyone with the outbreak of Covid-19. We stopped playing competitively nearly 18 months ago and are now only just starting again, however, some great things have occurred during this weird period of the club’s history.
Due to the imposed restrictions, we have had to concentrate on the Club and not playing rugby. So, we have tried to improve our grounds and facilities while strengthening our core with new players both in the Senior team and across all Junior teams.
Unfortunately, we have lost some of our key people in critical roles, like Brian Morrisey and Steve Brown who were fundamental in the initial birth of Wortley RUFC, but I am sure we will consolidate and grow stronger with new input.
I think it’s only right that the progress with grounds & facilities are discussed. Tremendous work has been undertaken by the Grounds Sub Committee, and support from parents of the Junior Team. In particular Mario who did great work around the changing facilities with hardcore, steps and levelling off the area in front of the toilet block.
This initial work ‘paved the way’ for our new shower block. Another big thank you must go to Lee Marsh and his great effort in dealing with issues arising with the pitches and the deterioration of the grass. It now looks like the pitches have recovered and they are now looking as green as ever.
The Senior Team has seen an influx of welcome new blood mixing with the established older players training rigorously whenever we could, always in accordance with stages set out by Rugby England, which lead to our first silverware for the Club at Hemsworth.
With regard to the junior sections, we have seen a year-on-year improvement with Den Plaistow and his team taking the Juniors to brilliant new heights. We also have the U14’s competing in the Yorkshire Cup and doing very well.
Patrick Fitzpatrick needs praise for the organised sponsored walk on the ‘three peaks’ which generated funds for a scrummaging machine. Thanks also for all his efforts in establishing an Academy based approach for the older junior teams, hopefully leading to a pathway into the Senior teams.
Our volunteers are our life blood not just of the club, but for the whole game and we need to treasure them. We are so blessed as a club to have so many wonderful volunteers who work so hard on our behalf, hopefully we can attract more over the coming season.

## Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Wortley Rugby Union Football Club Limited for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent:
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable the m to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## INDEPENDT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31" MAY 2021
I report on the accounts of Wortley Rugby Union Football Club Limited for the year ended 31** May 2021 set out on pages 3 to 14.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required lor this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 14-5 of the 2011 Act:
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 11-5(5Xb) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiners statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any 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.
## Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
