Structure, governance and management

The charity was created by way of a trust deed executed in February 2014 and subsequently incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (company no. 09211923), known as Batley Sporting Charitable Trust, in September 2014. On 10 February 2021, the charitable company was converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) foundation in its current name, and is governed by a constitution.

Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees

The trustees of the charity are appointed by the trustees at a duly convened meeting.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

For the benefit of the public generally and in particular the inhabitants of West Yorkshire and its surrounding areas:-

to provide facilities for sport, recreation and leisure for persons who need such facilities due to their youth, age, disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 October 2022

Objectives and activities (continued)

The charity's main activities

The charity works in partnership with the Batley Bulldogs RLFC to deliver projects in the heart of the Batley community and surrounding Kirklees area harnessing the power of sport and physical activity to make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of individuals. We deliver projects under the principles of sport, health, education and community engagement.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education and of amateur sport.

Achievements and performance

Schools - We have trained coaches that go into schools to teach the children how to play rugby. They also take other activities that the children can enjoy. This has been very popular and the children are getting exercise and accessing the outdoor environment.

Holiday camp - The holiday camp is run in the school holidays to provide activities and a meal at lunchtime. The children aged 8-12 come to enjoy outdoor sports, nature walks, visits within the park and arts and crafts. This all contributes to their well being and developing their skills.

Men’s project - Initially this project was to support men who were vulnerable. It started slowly encouraging the men to come to groups or have one to one chats. This developed into the men asking to do other things and now they take part in the walking group, gym and the allotment.

Women’s project - This project was specific to the women in our diverse community. They came along and joined in the activities and made friends. They became more confident and suggested new projects they would like to do.

Gym - The gym provides a wide range of sessions for adults including women only sessions. They can access the gym with our trained coaches and even have a personal trainer. Everyone in the community can access the gym. This resource is well used and it encourages exercise for well being and health.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £16,867, including net expenditure of £6,360 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £10,507 on restricted funds after transfers.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £8,996.

The trustees have set as their free reserves policy a target of £20,000 to enable further development of the charity's activities.

Approved by the board of trustees on 30/8/2023

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Batley Sporting

Foundation CIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 October 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act;

2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
