EGERTON FOOTBALL CLUB

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

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 30 June 2024. 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

The objectives of Egerton Football Club are to use the power of football to inspire people to participate in physical activity, to raise the aspiration of our local community and to give local people the confidence and skills to reach their potential.

Significant activities

During the year Egerton Football Club has run organised training sessions and games for teams from under 5s to adult Ladies and Men.

Public benefit

The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011 and believe the activities noted above further the charity's purposes for the public benefit.

Grantmaking

During the current year the Charity made a grant to Egerton Youth Club, which owns the land and facilities from where Egerton Football Club operates of £22,867 (2023 : £7,574) for remedial work to the pitches, £7,500 of which was accrued in the accounts in the previous year. It has also accrued a further £20,000 (2023 : £20,000) as a building improvement provision, giving a total provision in these accounts amounting to £40,000 (2023 : £20,000) . In addition to these it has also paid £25,000 to Egerton Youth Club as a contribution to it's 3G sinking fund, last year £12,000 of these costs were provided for by way of a provision.These payments and provisions have been made due to the collaboration agreement of 2016 between Egerton Football Club and Egerton Youth Club in which Egerton Football Club has undertaken to pay part of the costs of the pitch and building maintenance. The 3G pitch and buildings are of considerable benefit to Egerton Football Club enabling it to operate training and games for all of the teams all year round and without the 3G refurbishment the activities of Egerton Football Club could not have taken place.

A further grant of £200 was made during the year to Knutsford Community First Responder Trust regarding their Heart Screening Day.

Volunteers

The trustees would like to thank all volunteers for their unpaid time and efforts during the year which has helped us ensure the smooth running of Egerton Football Club.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Charity's income and expenditure is shown in the accompanying accounting statements.

Reserves policy

The Charity will not necessarily hold anything in reserves at the end of each season for future running costs, as all ongoing costs should be met from each season's subscription income.

Where it is able to, the Charity shall set aside in each year no less than £20,000 to be used for facility improvements / requirements to benefit all football activities.

The reserves set aside for facility improvements / requirements, shall be approved at a trustee meeting and have the support of the Committee prior to expenditure.

The reserves policy shall be reviewed annually.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EGERTON FOOTBALL CLUB

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Egerton Football Club ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. 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

  3. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 30 June 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key source of uncertainty is around the provision for cost for the refurbishments to the building and 3G pitch. The 3G pitch is estimated to last for 10 years and the estimated cost of refurbishment is £240,000, however, it is possible that if it lasts less time than this and/or that inflation could raise the cost of refurbishment meaning the judgements made this year have a risk of being underestimated.

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 that the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs 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.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery - 10% on cost

Fixed assets such as footballs and other training equipment with an uncertain estimated useful life have been written off in the statement of financial activities in the year they are purchased.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

These provisions relate to a collaboration agreement dated in 2016 between Egerton Football Club and Egerton Youth Club, whereby Egerton Football Club agreed that due to being the major user of facilities owned by Egerton Youth Club, Egerton Football Club would contribute towards any major improvements / refurbishments that would enhance their football provision, having agreed substantially discounted usage charges. Therefore, building provisions are made if possible each financial year in preparation for such expenditure.

The 3G pitch was fully refurbished in the year ended 30 June 2022 and is expected to have a useful life of 10 years. Therefore Egerton Football Club has contributed £25,000 to Egerton Youth Club's sinking fund and is expecting to have to contribute another £95,000 in over the life time of this asset.
