The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
Objectives of the Charity
The Charity provides for the social, educational, recreational and individual development needs of the young people of Southwark and the areas of Reading Borough Council, West Berkshire Council and Wokingham Borough Council, regardless of their gender, race, religion and disabilities.
Structure, Governance and Management
Legal Status
The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It is registered with the Charity Commission number 1154914.

Organisation
The Trustees of the CIO have overall responsibility for the Charity's affairs and will aim to meet three to four times per year.

Induction and Training of Trustees
The induction programme for new trustees includes:
-
Written information on The Bradfield Club's activities

A meeting with existing trustee and Chair
-
A half day in the office to meet staff and ask questions
-
An invitation to attend any of The Bradfield Club's activities in the community
-

Risk Management
The CIO, through the Regulation and Infrastructure Sub-committee, conducts a regular review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. Funding is a risk, as for all charities. Our reserves are lower than we would like but we are running these down ahead of our expected redevelopment. The Trustees consider that adequate insurance is held with Royal & Sun Alliance. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers and visitors to The Bradfield Club in Peckham. Regular risk assessments are undertaken for all activities at the Club.
We continuously review our financial controls.
Other Information
We received no contracts from central or local government to deliver services.
There have been no serious incidents at the Club.

THE BRADFIELD CLUB TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The year to 31[st] March 2022 remained very difficult as we gradually moved away from the most restrictive Covid rules, not reaching 'normal' activity until the beginning of 2022. For example, we were restricted to a maximum of 12 people in the early part of our financial year. We also closed over the summer holidays. However, we have gradually moved to increase our activities in the autumn of 2021 moving to a full programme in the first quarter of this year.
People
It has been a very difficult period for both Daniel and Rose. However, they have dealt with whatever was thrown at them with considerable skill and enthusiasm. We thank them very much for dealing with everything in a very professional manner. Both of them remain very visible in the local community and their continuity is much appreciated.
Since the beginning of the year we have taken on a part time basketball coach and, partly to improve female participation, we took on a part time mentor. We look forward to working with both throughout the year.
Youth Work
The work we do is under 5 main headings. These are Community, Sports and Music, life skills including computer skills, financial skills and individual development. At any one time some of these will be more active than others. In the Community category fitness and gym facilities provide the main focus. Sports and music have always been part of our core provision and these continue to be very active.
Rather encouragingly we did a survey of views of our users and some of the responses include 'family', 'love', 'diversity', 'positivity'. We have continued to provide meals for our users with over 900 meals handed out with the support of Millwall FC and Southwark Council.
At the end of the year, we appeared in an excellent article in The Times which reported favourably on the work we were doing.
Infrastructure and Regulation
The annual report on Child Protection was approved and there have been no issues. There have also been no Health and Safety issues. The building is just about holding up, but some remedial work will be needed over the coming year.
The planning application from our developers was finally approved by Southwark Council, subject to approval of a S106 agreement. However, at the time of writing the developers have decided not to proceed. On the upside, we have retained a significant deposit which, amongst other things, means we can do some remedial work on the building.
3
Finance and Fundraising
There was a small cash surplus for the year. There were no hall hires again this year but we did receive additional funding from some of the Trustees which helped to keep us afloat. We have kept a very careful eye on costs and have managed to maintain a reasonable programme of activities. One factor which will go significantly against us in the coming year will be utility costs, which only really hit us in the last quarter of our year.
Reserves Policy
The free reserves of the Charity at 31[st] March 2022 were £37,856. The Charity aims to build total reserves of around £50,000 to allow the continuation of activity for about 6 months in the event of unforeseen deterioration in financial circumstances.
Summary
It was another difficult year for the Club, but we believe we finished the year in better shape than at the beginning.
Our new Trustees have made a very positive contribution to our affairs. Clearly the developers walking away from their offer is disappointing however, at least we now have some certainty. We retain the freehold of the land, and we hope that another opportunity to sell will arise at some point in the future.

THE BRADFIELD CLUB TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Statement Of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 Charity 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 judgements 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 Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities and in accordance with the special provisions of part VII of the Companies Act 1985.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 14[th] November 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDEDNT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRADFIELD CLUB FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
I report on the financial statements of The Bradfield Club for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to15.
This report is solely to the Club’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 43(3) of the Charities Act 1993 (“the Act”). My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Club’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Club and the Club’s trustees as a body for my examination, for this report or opinions I have formed,
Responsibilities of trustees and independent Examiner
The Club’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Club’s trustees consider that the audit requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 do not apply and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43(3) (a) of the Act;
-
to follow such procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent Accountant’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Club, and a comparison of the financial statements present with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanation 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
Independent Accountant’s statements:
In connection with 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 41 of the Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in other to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
