Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees of British Eventing Support Trust, formerly known as the British Eventing Charitable Foundation, present their report and the accounts for the period ended 31 December 2021 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the charity’s constitution, and 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 Republic of Ireland (SORP FRS 102).
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is a registered charity number 1157610 and is governed by its constitution as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The only voting members are its Trustees. The principal office of the charity is Abbey Park, Stareton, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 2RN.
The constitution requires a minimum of three trustees. There should be no less than one and no more than five appointed trustees, two ex officio trustees, and one nominated trustee.
New appointed trustees are appointed by the existing trustees, nominated trustees are appointed by British Eventing Ltd for a period of three years. The two ex officio trustees are the Chairman and Chief Executive of British Eventing Ltd and shall be trustees for as long as they hold that position.
The trustees meet at least six times each year. At those meetings the trustees agree the broad strategy, review the ongoing activities of the charity to ensure they are in line with the objectives, approve the budget, and review the financial performance of the charity and its reserves and risk policies.
None of the trustees receive remuneration or benefits for their roles and are required to disclose all relevant interests with the Secretary. Trustees withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 Charity 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 FRS102;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable 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.

Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and 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 Charities Act 2011. 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.
In so far as the Trustees are aware, each Trustee has taken all steps that he/she ought to have taken as a Trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

1.2 Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, the receipt is probable, and can be measured reliably.
Voluntary income is received by way of donations. Donations are included in full in the statement of financial activities when received. Grants receivable that contain performance related conditions will be recognised as income when the performance related conditions have been met.
1.3
Expenditure
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary and investment income.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its charitable activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the statement of financial activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, as set out in Note 7.
