## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 October 2023
## **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.
Foyle Foundation - This grant was to use for core costs which provided funding for a worker for 12 Months. This enabled the worker to give support and advice for a variety of our groups. The funding also helped to develop an allotment project which has proved valuable to the community.
Asda Funding - The funding was to provide a Christmas meal for members of the community. It enabled them to come and have a good meal, join in some singing and go home with a present. The event was well attended and enjoyed.
Third Sector Leaders - As the allotment project is ongoing this funding was to enable us to continue working and developing the site. We have a number of adults who are keen to learn about growing produce and also young people from the local college. This is successful and well used.
Batley & Birstall grant - The gym we use for a number of activities was in need of some refurbishment. This grant provided the funds to replace the lighting and heating systems. This has made our gym a more welcoming and relaxing place to work out.
Asian Project - This project was to support the local community who were finding it difficult to access activities outside the home through rising costs of living. It was to provide access to the gym and other activities that would support the health and wellbeing of families.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 October 2023
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £20,605, including net income of £1,561 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £22,166 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £5,200.
The trustees have reviewed their free reserves policy and aim to keep between £5,000 and £9,000 as a reserve amount.
Unrestricted reserves are held to support and cover areas of our projects that may have delays in when money is available. This could be for service delivery; unexpected expenditure in the event of an emergency; situations where expenditure has the be incurred before funding has arrived.
Approved by the board of trustees on 20/8/2024

## 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 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
## **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.
