Bilston Town Community Football Club Limited Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 May 2021
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 May 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Chair's report
This year was obviously severely curtailed due to Covid 19. We did manage to play a dozen or so games, but most of these were played behind closed doors or with very limited supporters so our income from this was severely restricted. We did, however, take every opportunity to play or train despite the additional costs involved.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Memorandum of Association states that the Charity's objectives are to benefit the public, and in particular the inhabitants and community of Bilston/Wolverhampton and the surrounding areas by:
i) Promoting community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of Association Footbal and other versions of such which is deemed capable of improving health.
ii) Providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for sport and recreation, plus other leisure time activities for such persons who have a need for such facilities regardless of their age, ethnicity, social deprivation or economic circumstances, with the aim of offering healty recreation and improving the condition of life.
iii) Advancing a team ethic for children and young persons through the means of sport and in any other such way that the Trustees feel will benefit the community within the accordance of the Charity guidelines.
The Charity's principal activity is the promotion of sports engagement and education by using football as a vehicle for change. This is acheived through a number of football based programs delivered throughout the period.
We, as Trustee Directors, consider that these activities and programs satisfy the requirements of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Objectives and aims
The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Our main achievement for this year was keeping the Club going and supporting volunteers and supporters through an unprecedented 12 months. Towards the end of the year we were able to reconfirm our partnerships with Bilston College and FC Darlaston, and to enter negotiations with The Sturrage Academy with the aim of setting up a further mens team and a partnership with their academy players joining our current under 19's set up.
The UEFAB courses were halted for a time, but progress was made and this should be completed next season. Our under 13's and 14's cups were not completed, but several games did manage to be played which was thoroughly enjoyed by those who were able to participate.
Plans for the 4g pitch and wasteland adjacent to the ground were put on hold but still very much in our plans, and progress was made towards the end of the year and were full steam ahead by June 2021.
Our finances were improved with the various grants available from the Government/Council/Football Association and others, which has left us in a healthy position to start 2021-22.
Significant activities
Whilst the Charity plan to maintain the partnerships and initiatives already established, it will also look to expand on the numbers that participate in various events.
Achievements against objectives
As stated, our main achievement for this year was keeping the Club going because of Covid and we achieved this thanks to fantastic support from various authorities and organisations.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
After an unprecedented, covid restricted year, we are satisfied with the financial performance of the Charity in this financial reporting period. A net surplus of £24,802 was recorded compared to £4,014 (2020).
Reserves
The current levels of reserves are currently sufficient to meet next season's expenditure. Eveything considered, it is a vast improvement on last year and we continuously seek to raise more funds during the 2021/22 season. Hopefully, all of the coronavirus restrictions are behind us and we can flourish going forward.

For the year ended 31 May 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 May 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts 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 charity's accounts 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 examiners statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the 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
-
the accounts 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).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
