REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Tyldesley and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation, in particular swimming, for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the objective of improving the condition of life of said inhabitants.
Significant activities
The management team has continued to build on the core leisure and recreational activities of the charity and there has been a marked increase in the income generated. There were no Covid related grants received this year and also fewer other grants available however the charity returned a surplus for the year of £36,703 which is very pleasing.
Public benefit
Our main activities and the groups at which they are aimed are described above within Objectives and Activities. All of our charitable activities are focused on furthering our charitable objectives for the public benefit of the local community.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Reserves policy
The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the trustees in light of current events. The unrestricted reserves are currently £348,635 and the free reserves (net current unrestricted assets) stand at £196,729.
This is in line with the board's recommendation of holding 3 months running costs of the charity in free reserves which, based on these accounts, currently stands at £145,000.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The role, scope and responsibilities of the Trustees are enshrined in law, principally the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006, and also the Articles of Association.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Co-opted Trustees are selected following a search, advertising on the club website and personal recommendation. They meet with at least two existing Trustees, including the Chairman of the charity. It is the intention of the charity to have Trustees who have a strong interest in the sport of swimming, especially to encourage wide community participation for health and leisure purposes, and an appreciation of the governance role. The policy is to have a strong, gender diverse trustee board with a range of experience and skills.
Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risks which The Pelican Centre faces on a regular basis. These include health and safety, operational and human risks as well as reputational and financial risks. The trustees believe that the maintenance of general reserves, combined with the regular review of controls over financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.
The trustees have also examined the other operational and business risks which The Pelican Centre faces and confirm that policies and systems have been established to mitigate most of the significant risks. It is noted that, as a consequence of its status as a company limited by guarantee, the trustees of the company are liable to contribute £1 each should the company be wound up insolvent.
Public Liability Insurance is purchased in respect of certain events where the potential for liability exists.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PELICAN CENTRE LTD
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Pelican Centre Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
