Adult players were less affected. Thankfully there were no further shutdowns. We continued our coaching programme with qualified coaches but it was very difficult to arrange school visits. We have a remarkable youngster, Ralph Pattison, from a local school who is the outstanding player of his age in the country. **Other Sports / leisure activities** **These recovered more quickly and have nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels.** 4 ## **Financial review** > **Brief statement of the** At year end, the charity held unrestricted funds of £161,626 for > **charity’s policy on reserves** future sports centre improvements and to meet unforeseen expenditure that may occur, in particular to the sports centre building and the surrounding road and parking areas. **Details of any funds materially** Not applicable **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details** The main source of unrestricted funds has come from sports membership fees, sports centre hire, Local Government grants and support from Table Tennis England.

The charity’s trustees 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 2011;

to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011;
and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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 the
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.
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 accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act 2011; and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
