Charity’s purpose
As set out in the charity’s constitution the charity’s aim is to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Aldbourne in Wiltshire and the surrounding area, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.
In furtherance of these aims the trustees have decided that the aims can best be met by the construction and operation of a community facility offering sports and leisure facilities on the land in the village of Aldbourne known as Palmer’s Field.
Activities
The Trustees’ focus was on confirming provisional plans for the development of Palmer’s Field. The site layout plans were revised following discussions with stakeholders and meetings with two modular building companies who produced a new design for the pavilion building.
Meanwhile the Trustees prepared budget forecasts for the building and running of the proposed development and a formal presentation was prepared.
This presentation was first shown to Aldbourne Parish Council in September 2021 for their consideration. This was followed in November with the first of three public consultations. This was a formal presentation followed by a Q&A session and was attended by over 100 people. This was followed by a further consultation in February 2022 in the form of an Open Day. The final formal consultation took place in March on the site itself with the various proposed elements marked out on the field. The website continued to collect feedback from the online questionnaire which will be combined with the information collected at the consultations.
Meanwhile the Trustees had conversations with potential funders while running a couple of events to raise more funds.
Plans for the next year
Now that the public consultation has been completed, the Trustees await feedback from Aldbourne Parish Council.
The Trustees will then collate the feedback from the Parish Council and the consultations, so that they can revise the plans for further Parish Council consideration. They will then look at what they need to do in order to proceed to the next stage which is seeking planning permission early in 2023.
Meanwhile the Trustees will be looking at expanding the core team and concentrate on funding both locally and through grant providers. More events will be held to continue their intermediate funding needs.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources 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;
-
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.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees 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.
