TRUSTEES’S ANNUAL REPORT
The trustees present their report, along with the financial statements of the Club, for the year ended 31[st] March 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 10 and in compliance with the Club’s Constitution and applicable law.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Club’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any 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 Club will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Club 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 Club and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
EXERCISE OF TRUSTEES’ POWERS
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
GOVERNANCE AND ORGANISATION
The Club registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by its Constitution, adopted in June 2014. The names of the trustees holding office during the year to which these accounts relate are given on page 4. The trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) The trustees meet together on a regular basis during the year to discuss and administer the affairs of the Club. Reports on Club activities are made to the entire membership of the Club at its AGM.
CHARITY OBJECTS
The object of the CIO is to advance healthy recreation and physical education of children and young people up to the age of 18 in Bridgend and the surrounding area through the playing of, and coaching in, association football. The Club achieves these objects by providing training facilities, entering a local football league and organizing an annual football festival for teams across south Wales.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
During the 2020/21 season, the Club has run 9 year groups participating in the Bridgend Port Talbot Junior Football League. The club has seen further success this
Page 2
season building upon the 2019/20 season with the Under 14 team winning the Under 14 League Cup..
The club decided not to hold a fun day again this year, as prior year, and instead looked to alternative methods for fundraising. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic it has been difficult to hold events, so opportunities for fundraising have been limited.
Training and league fixtures were suspended on 13 March 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Our Minis kits were replaced during the 1920/21 season thanks to sponsorship provided by Wolf Productions, Aevitas Wealth Management, Niche Technology, CGI and Craftsman Flooring.
Our junior kits were replaced during the 2019/20 season thanks to sponsorship provided by ProTone Body Studio, Aevitas Wealth Management, Watts & Morgan and Coety Consulting.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The accounts have been prepared for a 12 month period for the financial year end to 31[st] March 2021.
The principal source of funds for the Club remains the membership fees paid by its members, representing 67% (2020: 88%) of total receipts during the period. Members fees have reduced significantly from prior year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and disruption to the 2020/21 playing season. There was also a £1,000 grant received from BCBC (2019:£nil) with no conditions attached, so this has not been treated as a restricted reserve.
Overall direct charitable payments have reduced significantly compared to prior year, £9,417 (2020:£20,054). The decrease is mainly due to suspension of league fixtures for a large portion of the season. The main components of costs are the mini’s kit purchased, for which sponsorship was received, plus pitch and training hire and equipment. There are no fun day costs again.
As at 31 March 2021, the Club holds £10,818 (2020: £17,208) in general funds. The Trustees consider this to be an appropriate level of reserves based on the activities of the Club.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the Club to maintain sufficient unrestricted funds (the free reserves of the Club) for the effective management day to day of the Club’s finances i.e. to cover costs of playing football and purchase of kit and equipment, as well as being able to respond to emergency needs which may arise from time to time.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have put in place a number of policies and procedures relating to areas of risk in connection with various aspects of the Club’s activities.
TRUSTEE APPROVAL
This annual report has been approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:
