Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30th June 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2022. 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

Significant activities and Chairman's report

After Covid, this season will be known as the season of getting back to normal. But what is normal for our sport? There’s nothing normal about it, what with transporting players to venues around the country, having great PAs for the players, or parents taking on the role and then there’s the great team of volunteers in the form of the Trustees, referees, game day helpers, the live streaming team, etc.

They are all helping make the sport grow.

As a nationwide Charity we help to structure, support, and develop both new and old clubs and help them grow. Having two National Leagues and 5 Regional Leagues this means there is lots to do.

We now also have the end of season WFA cup game being broadcast live on mainstream television together with a professional commentating team. This has taken our fantastic sport to new heights! Channel 4 also screens highlights show.

How great is that! We have come such a long way from not being able to play during lock down and I am so proud of the whole team. They have all done such a fantastic job to get us to where we are now ready for the next season.

I will finish with a very important message …. "We are nothing without our players, but we could not do what we do without the volunteers.”

They are amazing people, and our thanks go out to you all.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The trustees review the level of the charity's reserves annually to ensure that the charity can continue to meet its objectives. The activities that the charity undertakes on a day-to-day basis are funded from restricted reserves where the specific activity meets the restriction placed on a fund and unrestricted reserves for all other activities. At 30th June 2022 the charity had unrestricted reserves of £14,381 (2021 £7,915) and restricted reserves of £21,820 (2021 £33,765). Taking into account the nature of the charity's income streams, the trustees are of the view that reserves at these levels are sufficient.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity's governing document is its constitution, which follows the CIO - Association Model and was registered with the Charity Commission on 14 April 2015.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustee vacancies are circulated 3-4 months before the AGM (held in June each year) amongst all our member clubs with a full description of the role including responsibilities.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 19 April 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Wheelchair Football Association CIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Wheelchair Football Association CIO ('the Charity')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30th June 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

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

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by Section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

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.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation
