ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

At the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, our purpose is to Empower Communities and Improve Lives through cricket. During the reporting period we have made significant progress in making cricket a game for everyone. Cricket is a game for everyone. It can connect communities, improve lives, and bring people from diverse backgrounds together. Widening participations in cricket and inspiring a generation to say "cricket is a game for me" has been the cornerstone of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation strategy for several years.

The work we deliver aims to:

1. Improve health and wellbeing by involving people of all ages in activity that improves their physical and mental health and their happiness.

2. Makes cricket accessible to everybody, regardless of their ability, gender, age, ethnicity, social background or where they live. Cricket is a game for everyone, and we benefit from diverse participation.

3. Connects communities - improving happiness and combatting loneliness, by helping people develop new social and support networks and friendships.

4. Provides opportunities for personal development - helping people develop new and transferable skills.

5. Develops individuals by providing them with new and transferable skills, which can enrich their personal and professional lives.

6. Introduces new people to cricket in a fun and friendly environment.

7. Provides opportunity for those with talent and passion for cricket to access development opportunities which help them reach their full potential.

In June 2023, the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) published a comprehensive report on equity in cricket. Their findings highlighted issues of discrimination in cricket, which made for very challenging reading. However, the report also provides valuable insight that can help accelerate our work in addressing these issues and ensuring cricket is a game for everyone. The DCF Board established a sub-group to focus on our response to the ICEC report. We have developed 7 commitments to guide our response, and we are currently consulting with stakeholders across Derbyshire to gather local insight that can inform a more detailed action plan.

Our cricket clubs and leagues are the heartbeat of cricket in the county and they continue to work tirelessly to provide opportunities for people to play and volunteer. In 2023 over 6000 games of cricket were scheduled which represents a 6% increase on 2022. There was a 7% increase in the number of junior games played and a remarkable 60% increase in the number of girls fixtures compared to 2022.

We now have over 50 Clubmark accredited clubs which demonstrates the games commitment to ensure clubs are safe, welcoming and well governed. We trained over 60 Safeguarding Officers in addition to the 120+ we trained during 2022.

Our Disability Cricket programme has grown from strength to strength this year, with the establishment of our first Super l's Hub which regularly sees 8 young people attending. We now have 6 cricket clubs in Derbyshire providing accessible and inclusive cricket as 'Disability Champion Clubs'.

The women's game in Derbyshire continues to grow at a rapid rate. We now have over half of the clubs in Derbyshire with one or more women's team. This is significant progress towards achieving gender equity in the game, but there is still a way to go! We now have 55 Clubs with 73 teams playing in a variety of formats across the county, representing a 25% increase on 2022. We had over 600 women play in our women's softball festivals across the summer. We are seeing progression from our softball festivals to regular competitive cricket in the East Midlands Women's league. We now have 28 clubs and 41 teams in the league.

We are committed to using cricket to empower communities and improve lives through cricket and we truly believe cricket has a wider role to play in society. We are proud of the work we are doing to engage new communities and deliver programmes that have a positive impact on peoples lives. During 2023 we launched our Dementia Cafe - 'Monday Mates' which is doing fantastic work to provide a safe place for people with Dementia to enjoy and take part in some physical activity. We have regular attendees with up to 28 people engaged.

The DCF team have worked incredibly hard throughout the year to support our communities and cricket clubs in Derbyshire. We recognise we still have lots to do in our mission to make cricket a game for everyone, and we look forward to working with all our stakeholders as we seek to grow and diversify the game further in 2024

The Derbyshire Development league increased by 27% in it's third year with 23 clubs taking part. The league aims to bridge the gap between junior cricket and open age cricket. Over 50 cricket clubs entered our local and national junior competitions, including the U19's Hundred Ball Competition, and the U13/U15 National club competitions.

We ran a series of online webinars and development workshops between October 2022 and September 2023, engaging over 200 unique club volunteers.

Over 600 women took part in 26 softball festivals during 2023 a 25% increase in the number of players compared to 2022.

Our girls performance programme continues to play a vital role in both the wider girls game and the development of performance cricketers. Over 125 girls received high quality coaching and match play opportunities during 2023, with 18 girls going on to represent Derbyshire on the regional stage for the Blaze during the summer. 3 girls secured places on the Blaze academy and 2 of Derbyshire's pathway graduates represented England.

We recognised a need to recruit and train female coaches to diversify our coaching workforce. In 2023 we trained 37 female coaches and 53 female activators.

We partnered with the England and Wales Cricket Board, and Initial Washroom Hygiene to bring period dignity to grassroots cricket. We installed female hygiene/sanitary products in 8 cricket clubs as part of the pilot project. The aim to make clubs more welcoming and inclusive.

ENGAGE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

In 2023 we increase our activity in state primary schools and engaged more children in high quality coaching. In partnership with Chance to Shine we delivered 2,380 hours of coaching to 110 primary schools. We engaged 15,500+ children and engaged 250+ teachers.

We prioritised some of our delivery to schools in the most disadvantaged areas with over 40% of their children in receipt of free school meals. We wanted to take cricket to children who might not get the opportunity without our programme.

Our National Programmes continue to inspire the next generation of children to choose cricket. 2023 proved to be another successful year in growing participation through All Stars and Dynamos Cricket. We had 74 All Stars Centres and 46 Dynamos Centres running across the county. We had 1832 5-8 year olds take part in All Stars and 773 9-11 year olds take part in Dynamos. We had 13% growth in the number of All Stars participants and 10% growth in the number of Dynamos centres.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Fundraising

Section 162A of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. The legislation defines fundraising as "soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes". Such amounts are presented in our financial statements within "Donations and Legacies" which includes donations from individual supporter and corporate donations.

The day to day management of all income generated is delegated to the executive staff team who act under authority delegated by the Trustees.

We have received no complaints in relation to our fundraising activity for the year under review.

Results for the period

The statement of financial activities shows a net surplus of income over expenditure of £4,710 (2022: £49,529). Total net assets at 30 September 2023 amounted to £185,362 (2022: £183,448), represented by unrestricted funds of £98,927 (2022: £86,435) and restricted funds of £62,148 (2022: £59,393).

The DCF have a robust budgeting process in place managed by the Managing Director (Richard Wood), which has provided transparency throughout the year enabling the board of Trustees to make informed decisions relating to financial management.

Reserves policy

The Foundation will set aside a sum by way of a reserve against unforeseen contingencies. This sum will be used in the event of the organisation being threatened with closure, for redundancy payments, to cover long term sickness liabilities and maternity pay.

The Trustees consider free reserves to be those assets that could be converted into cash in the short term should the need arise (net current assets).

The Charitable Company does not own any land, and currently has relatively small overheads - namely the salary costs of the full time employees plus fixed service costs. It provides funding to projects and initiatives based on funds that are currently held or have been committed.

The Trustees wish to hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet a minimum of 6 months of forward committed non-discretionary cash expenditure. Predominately this is the payroll cost of staff members and fixed service costs. This currently equates to £253,626 and at 30 September 2023, unrestricted free reserves stood at £98,927 (2022: £124,055).

Due to the deficit of £57,267 in 2019 the free reserves are below the required amount to maintain 6 months of forward committed costs. The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the Charitable Company's planning, budgeting and financial reporting cycle and the Foundation aim to achieve the sufficient free reserve by September 2028.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

Derbyshire Cricket Foundation Limited, also known as DCF, is a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles dated 24 December 2013 as amended 15 January 2020. The company was originally named The Cricket Derbyshire Community Foundation on incorporation. Its name was changed with effect from 24 December 2013 to the Cricket Derbyshire Foundation and then finally changed again to Derbyshire Cricket Foundation Limited on 9th October 2019. The company became a registered charity on 14 February 2014.

The Trustees' function is to set policy and they are responsible for the conduct of the Charity's affairs and for ensuring that the charity operates in accordance with all statutory and regulatory guidance.

Governance

Governance of the DCF is required to comply with a County Governance Framework defined by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and which corresponds to the Sport England Code for Sports Governance (2017). The ECB County Governance Framework refers to seven key principles outlined below, and includes detailed requirements for each of the principles.

1. Robust and Effective Structures - Organisations shall be properly constituted and have a clear and appropriate governance structure, led by a Board. The Board and any committees shall be properly constituted and shall operate effectively.

2. Responsible Leadership - The Board is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the organisation and therefore leading the strategy, culture, and values of an organisation. The role of the Board and Executive should be clearly defined.

3. Effective and Inclusive Boards - Organisations shall be inclusive and follow formal recruitment processes to engage people with appropriate diversity of skills, experience, and backgrounds to take effective decisions that further the organisation's goals.

4. Good practices and behaviours - Organisations shall follow good governance practices, uphold high standards of behaviour, and engage in regular and effective evaluation to drive continuous improvement.

5. Transparency, Accountability, and Engagement - Organisations shall show appropriate transparency and accountability, engaging effectively with stakeholders and nurturing internal democracy.

6. Risk, Assurance and Stewardship - Boards shall be the stewards of an organisation and ensure appropriate risk management, financial planning and associated procedures are undertaken.

7. Legal and Regulatory Compliance - Organisations shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations and ECB Rules, Regulations, and County Partnership Agreement standards. Organisations shall be accountable for delivering their duties, including required reporting, in an appropriate and timely fashion.

The ECB stipulates certain minimum requirements that needed to be attained for each of these principles. Performance against these requirements is reviewed annually by the ECB. In the review for 2022/23 the DCF met all these requirements, and was rated as a "leading county" for Governance by the ECB.

The DCF governance structure includes Board committees with delegated powers of the board, and includes a Safeguarding Committee that meets at least twice a year. Safeguarding is also an agenda item at every Board meeting, and anonymised data on Safeguarding performance and trends is presented and reviewed at every Board meeting. All DCF Staff and Trustees have confirmed their understanding of the ECB Safeguarding Policy (Safe Hands), and their responsibilities for Safeguarding. A Trustee has designated lead responsibility for Safeguarding, and is Chair of the Safeguarding Committee (Robert Blenkinsop).

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is integral to the DCF objective to widen and increase participation in cricket. The DCF has an EDI plan which is reviewed and published annually, and a report on progress against that plan is also published annually. Progress against the 2023 EDI Plan was reviewed at every Board meeting during the year. The Board includes a Trustee with lead responsibility for EDI (Robert Blenkinsop). The progress made on EDI by the DCF during 2022/3 resulted in a "leading county" rating by the ECB - one of eight County Cricket Boards to receive that rating nationally.

Page 7

DERBYSHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LTD

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

In June 2023 the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket published a report, Holding Up a Mirror to Cricket, which included 44 recommendations to improve equity in cricket, particularly relating to race, gender, and class. The DCF and the ECB both issued an immediate response to this report, which included an unreserved apology to anybody who had felt excluded or unwelcome in cricket. The DCF Board established a sub-group to consider the recommendations in detail, and consulted with stakeholders across Derbyshire, prior to publishing seven DCF commitments to make cricket the most inclusive team sport and the 2024 EDI plan.

The DCF is committed to maintaining diversity of skills, experience, and lived experience on the Board. We believe that diversity on the Board is important to providing effective governance, including but not limited to gender, ethnic diversity, age, disability, social background and skills, and should reflect our local demographics and our objective to widen the reach of cricket by engaging with new and more diverse communities. We are committed to maintaining a board with at least 30% representation of each gender and maintaining representation of ethnic diversity that at least reflects the ethnic representation of Derbyshire.

During the reporting year the Trustees continued to provide appropriate governance of the DCF through regular Board meetings.

Board meetings were held on the following dates:

3rd November 2022 8th December 2022 (Annual Review) 16th February 2023 20th April 2023 8th June 2023 (AGM) 13th July 2023 7th September 2023

Insurance effected for Trustees and Directors

A Directors' and Officers' Liability insurance policy which included the protection of the personal liability of the Trustees/Directors arising out of the execution of their duties on behalf of the charity was in place throughout the year.

Trustee Remuneration

Remuneration of the members of staff is determined by the Board of Trustees. The pay structure for all employees and the level of any annual cost of living increase, takes into account appropriate benchmarks and prevailing inflation rates.

There were no trustees' remuneration or other benefits for the year.

Management

The day to day running of the Charitable Company is delegated to the Managing Director. Assisting with the running of the organisation is the senior leadership team, made up of staff covering all areas of the charities activities and programmes.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The DCF Nominations Committee meets each year to review the membership of the Board, the skills and experience of the current Trustees relative to those required on the Board, and the potential need to recruit Trustees. The DCF Nominations Committee met most recently in February 2024, and agreed recruitment priorities for 2024. It also reviewed the status of succession planning for the roles of Managing Director and Chair. As part of this review it was noted that two existing Trustees will complete their third 3 year term of office during 2025, and under the current Articles of Association, will need to retire as Trustees (Robert Blenkinsop and Rachel Flinn).

Induction and training of new trustees

Trustees undertake an induction which includes a full briefing on the finances of the Charitable Company, an overview of the structure and strategy of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation. Trustees are provided with a code of conduct, roles and responsibilities and relevant policy documents including the DCF Safeguarding Policy and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

Related parties

Ryan Duckett, one of the Charity's Trustees, is also the Chief Executive of Derbyshire County Cricket Club (DCCC).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Risk management

The Trustees regularly review financial and non-financial risks to which the charity is exposed through information provided to them by way of progress reports received and through consideration of proposed plans for projects and of the Company's activities as a whole. The Trustees seek to minimise these risks through the implementation of such controls and procedures as they deem appropriate to the level of risk. Following the merger Trustees have reviewed the risk register and have reviewed and updated various policies to assist in the mitigation of any perceived risks.

With regard to financial risks, these are reviewed routinely at Board meetings having regard to the DCF's current balance and reserves and in accordance with the current reserves policy adopted by the Trustees. .
