Structure, Governance and Management
Governing documents: the charity is a company limited by guarantee, registered number 07543095, and is registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1156333. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company was registered in February 2011 and was registered as a charity in March 2014.
Organisation and management: the governing documents set out the procedure by which trustees (who are also directors of the company) are appointed. The trustees are responsible for the management and operation of the charity, including risk management and safety matters. The trustees delegate the day to day running of the charity to the charity's staff.
Objectives and activities: the objectives of the charity are (1) To promote participation in healthy recreation by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for the playing of sports capable of promoting health; (2) To provide and assist in providing activities and facilities for other recreation or leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving their condition of life. These objects are primarily for the benefit of residents of, and visitors to, the Wirral area.
The charity operates facilities for participation in a number of sports and also provides coaching to improve skill levels. The facilities are open to everyone.

BIRKENHEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Report of the Trustees For the year ending 31 July 2022
Achievement and Performance
The charity continued to provide sporting facilities and coaching to local residents and others who wish to participate; the facilities are open to all. The number of people participating in activities each week has increased over the past year and in some areas we continue to operate at near capacity. The partnership with Autism Together continues to provide sessions for their members - these sessions are therapeutic as well as enjoyable for those participating. We have again made some small additions to our facilities during the year so that we are better able to meet the needs of all users, whatever their skill level.
Post year end, the premises managed by Birkenhead Community Development Committee have been shared with Wirral Gymnastics Club. The directors are optimistic that there are many benefits to BCDC from the facilities and running costs being shared with a highly established and successful local club which will further the aims of the charity in offering more classes and a greater range of activities to ensure healthy recreation in sport and leisure is promoted to all.
Risk Management
The trustees continue to identify and consider the major risks to which the charity is exposed. This involves identifying the types of risk the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of reducing the risks. The charity's system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The trustees are satisfied that the systems in place minimise their exposure to the major risks.
Financial Review
| Results for the year: The total income for the year was Resulting in a surplus for the year of |
£ £ 143,790 2021: 143,982 (38,596) (Deficit) 2021: 15,616 |
£ |
|---|---|---|
The deficit relates to a decrease in grant funding for the year which was not fully offset by the increase in activity levels during the year following the imposed closures owing to the response to Covid-19.
Reserves: the trustees have adopted a policy that reserves should be equivalent to six months expenditure.

BIRKENHEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Birkenhead Community Development Committee
For the year ending 31 July 2022
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2022, set out on pages 4 to 9
Respective Responsibilities of trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
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 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report
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 statements 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 accounting records in accordance with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the requirements of Sections 395 and 395 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
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
