Future fundraising
The Trustees have identified the need to organise an number of fundraising events in 2025/2026 to help raise funds for core/running costs due to high inflation costs such as electricity, water and the statutory minimum wage. The building also needs to be upgraded – it is nearing 10 years since it last was – and maintenance costs are starting to rise due to the number of participants and groups using the facilities.
The Trustees realise that the Charity cannot rely on grants only and that it needs to generate income in other ways to ensure long-term sustainability,

-
Pelican Rangers AFC – which includes 10 junior teams aged 6 to 16 years and 4 adult team all of which are both male/female players.

Financial review
Principal sources of funding
The largest contribution to the Charity is grants from trusts and other charitable organisations.
Financial review
The Charity incurred a deficit of £57,278 for the financial year.
At 31 March 2025, the Charity held total funds of £151,518 – that is, £82,136 cash at the bank and in hand; £1,320 in debtors, prepayments and accrued income; £2,805 in the value of stock held at the year-end; £67,751 in the value of fixed assets; less creditors of £2,494. £148,856 of the total funds held at 31 March 2025 were restricted funds. This, in all, is considered to be an appropriate level of funds to enable the Charity to pursue its objectives – that is, once administrative expenses (£138,169) have been deducted from this year's income from charitable activities (£45,160), and other operating income (£49,388), there is still enough cash in hand and cash at bank left (£38,515) to cover the Charity's expenditure on charitable activities this year, £15,019.
Reserves policy
A sufficient cash reserve is held in order to provide the working capital needed to cover seasonal fluctuations in the Charity’s income and expenditure and to fulfil its day-to-day obligations. When deciding on the level of these reserves (that is, those funds not tied up in fixed assets), the Trustees take into consideration the forecasted levels of income and expenditure, the reliability of each source of income, and the prospect of new sources of income.
It is the trustees’ view that it is prudent to maintain the forecasted level of reserves to allow for financial flexibility and stability in light of the Charity’s dependence on grant funding.
Investment policy
The trustees have adopted a strong, socially-responsible investment policy for the reserves of the Charity. This policy, in tandem with the need to fulfil our statutory obligations, has the objective of investing in such a way that the principles of socially-responsible investment are promoted. A further factor is the need to have ready access to our reserves (as long-term funding cannot be guaranteed) so, for the current period, we have placed surplus funds in bank current accounts.
Risk management
The trustees actively review, on a regular basis, the major risks that the Charity faces in maintaining reserves at the levels detailed above; in addition to an annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out through an internal audit process - to ensure appropriate controls are in place as assurance against fraud and error.
Internal control risks are minimised by authorisation procedures for all financial transactions; and policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations by, and for, staff, volunteers and visitors.

Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Friends of Pelican Park is an incorporated charitable organisation formed on 30 March 2010. The organisation is governed by its Articles of Association and Memorandum dated 5 March 2010 supplemented by a Declaration of Trust dated 10 March 2010.
Organisational structure
The day-to-day running of the Charity is undertaken by the Trustees and a staff team of 1 full-time and 4 part-time staff members. During the Spring and Summer period, the Charity employs local people on a casual basis to support the holiday activities and sporting events.
Some of the Charity's work is delegated to trustees through sub-groups, but the whole trustee board remains in full control of the process and decision-making.
Volunteers
The Charity continues to train volunteers who want to learn new skills, gain experience and qualifications in sport, administration, pitch maintenance, food hygiene, retail and fundraising.
All volunteers live within walking distance of Pelican Park and continue to support the many projects taking place both on and off-site. Without their support and commitment, the food bank and meals for the elderly would not be able to help as many people as it currently does. Many of the volunteers have a shared interest in the Charity and all its achievements. Without the local support, the Charity would not be able to deliver as many activities/sessions as effectively as it currently does.
There were 24 volunteers throughout the year, excluding trustees, who aided in the running of the Charity.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The Board of Trustees is the primary legal body of Friends of Pelican Park. All trustees bring a wealth of experience, qualifications and skills that compliment the Charity's main objectives.
Trustees are recruited by other trustees - people they know with specific skills needed to help continue to run the Charity effectively. We believe in creating a diverse board of trustees with a range of skills, knowledge, and experience. We are lucky to have a strong board who all live within the area.
The trustees agree on what skills, experience and knowledge are needed and these are:
-
financial skills – either in the form of qualifications and/or experience;
-
knowledge of grants and trusts to help pursue/ensure further funding;
-
skills, qualifications and/or experience in working within a primary or secondary school to help develop the Charity's Physical Education (PE) programme;
-
• knowledge and experience in community regeneration, working within a community environment;
-
• knowledge and experience in tackling crime and anti-social behaviour that often leads to crime; and
-
previous experience and knowledge in working within a sport.

All potential trustees are checked through the Disclosure and Barring Service, due to the Charity's work with children and vulnerable adults.
There were no new or additional trustees recruited in the year to 31 March 2025.
Trustee induction and training
Many trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the Charity as they are also active members of the Charity as well as involved in other charities, churches and/or charitable institutions.

-
the obligations of the board of trustees;
-
the operational framework for the Charity;
-
the current financial position and revenue generation; and

As the Charity’s trustees and directors, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’) and the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

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

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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.

Friends of Pelican Park Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donated goods and services are recorded at their expected cost.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land and buildings, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Land and buildings | at a rate of | 10% | per year, over 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | at a rate of | 20% | per year, over 5 years |
| Motor vehicles | at a rate of | 12.5% | per year, over 8 years |
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from taxation under sections 521 to 536 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007).
14
Friends of Pelican Park Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
Fund accounting: restricted and unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements below.
Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Charity will be in operational existence twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts. The trustees are satisfied that this basis is appropriate.
The facts that support the conclusion of going concern are:-
• the Charity's income from charitable activities has increased from the previous year - from £30,697 to £45,160 this year; and
• on 31 March 2025, the Charity held £82,136 cash at bank.
There are no material uncertainties.
Provisions
Provisions (i.e. liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
Government grants
The accrual model (FRS 102 24.5C-G) was applied in producing these accounts; therefore grants were recognised as either relating to revenue (over the period in which the Charity recognises the related costs for which the grant was intended to compensate) or relating to assets (over the expected useful life of the asset).
