**ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS SADDLE CLUB** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing documents, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019. 

## **Trustees** 

The trustees, as at 28 February 2021, were: 

Lt Col Anthony Edward Sharman (Chair) Lt Col (Retd) Richard James, (Deputy Chair) Ms Emma Theunissen MA FCA (Treasurer) 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the charity for the public benefit: 

1) The efficiency of the armed forces and in particular but not exclusively the regiments of the Household Cavalry and Royal Armoured Corps, in order to increase their fitness, better prepare them for active service and the performance of their duties, by providing a recreational facility for them and their dependants, and by promoting Espirit de Corps and fostering a close relationship between serving and former serving members of the armed forces; and 

2) Subject thereto, community participation in amateur sport and recreation for all members of the community including children and young people, the elderly and the disabled. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Given the challenges of this unusual year, it has been impossible to deliver much of our routine charitable effort. Indeed, it feels like a significant achievement to have survived with the accounts in good order and in a position to spring back into life once restrictions have eased. As part of this process, plans have been put into place for a building project, supported by a grant from Sport England, to provide disabled ablution facilities. These will enable us to provide a more inclusive, complete and comfortable experience for our disabled riders. 

The lack of opportunity for charitable activity has not meant time off. Throughout, our brilliant full-time team and volunteers have worked incredibly hard to keep pushing on in what have been difficult circumstances, looking for opportunities to set the charity up for success once a semblance of normally returns.

**ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS SADDLE CLUB** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **Activity in 2020/21** 

This was a challenging year, dominated by the impact on the country and on equitation of C-19 and regulations imposed in response to it from March 2020 onwards. The charity relies heavily on income from events during the Spring, Summer and Autumn to generate revenue, so suffered heavily as a result of the restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of the disease. Some of this loss of income was mitigated by measures to minimise or defer expenses, which included putting staff whose role was directly in support of events onto furlough. The management and staff worked hard to navigate the ever-changing landscape, to maintain its activities where possible within regulations, and to leave the club in a strong position to resume its full-scale operations. 

The club provided first-class livery services throughout to its 45 or so military and civilian liveries, keeping approximately 70 horses on the yard including 5 club horses and 11 club ponies. As soon as it was practicable to do so coaching and lessons were provided for liveries taking their exercise and recreation with undoubted benefits for all concerned. The club was able to run its ("covid-safe") pony camp, and host the South Dorset Hunt pony club, and in October it hosted a successful (and profitable) British Eventing one-day event. 

The club continued to provide resources to the military, and 16 troop leaders from the Bovington training centre, together with a further 5 personnel from the Army Air Corps went through equestrian training at the yard. 

Unfortunately it was not possible to arrange Warrior Equine (formerly "Horse Sense") courses in the year (though these have now resumed, providing valuable rehabilitation to wounded or traumatised servicemen). Similarly the Riding for the Disabled Association's own restrictions precluded them visiting in the year in question, though were delighted that they are again now doing so. However, the yard did successfully welcome 6 teenagers placed under the BHS sponsored "Changing Lives through Horses" programme, which continues to expand the club. 

## **Financial review** 

In a typical year the principal sources of income which support the Club's charitable objectives are derived from instruction and tuition, equestrian events, venue and facilities hire and livery services. All sources of income except livery income, were severely impacted by C-19 restrictions. Income from sources other than livery income fell by £94k in comparison with the prior year. 

However, the club managed its discretionary and variable expenditure to the extent possible, including staff and freelance instruction costs, horse feed and bedding, and through the deferral of some elements of expenditure. As a result, expenses compared the prior year fell by £102k. 

Overall the Club has generated a surplus of £44k for the period. £20k has been set aside for essential fencing repairs which will be required in the FY22 period (and which in the absence C-19 would ordinarily have been commissioned during FY21). 

In light of the continuing uncertainties associated with C-19, the Trustees consider that the maintenance of a higher level of reserves for this period is prudent, particularly given the possibility of future restrictions impacting income sources.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

The fund has the following functions: 

a) To accumulate, in one account, charitable donations, grants or levies from non-public sources, subscriptions and any profits from the Club. 

b) To provide financial support in order to finance the general running, maintenance, and care of livestock within the clubs real estate. To ensure all staff are paid in accordance with legislation and that feed and appropriate medical cover is available at all times. The fund must ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover unforeseen issues and crises and to allow for maintenance of care for the staff and livestock of The Saddle Club in pursuance of extra-mural group activities or the activities of individuals where it can be substantiated that such expenditure will be to the good and benefit of the majority of the members of The Club. 

c) To cover all necessary insurance and indemnity requirements at a suitable level. Special purpose funds may be used where deemed necessary in order to impose tighter control measures. 

## _**Investment policy and objectives**_ 

The trustees of the charity have the power to raise funds to further the objects of the charity but must not undertake any substantial permanent trading activity. The trustees can operate bank accounts considered necessary and to invest funds and to delegate the management of the funds in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees of the trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a standalone organisation, which manages a Saddle Club and Stable Yard geographically situated within Bovington Garrison. The Yard is managed on a daily basis by the Chief Instructor, supported by 2 office staff. This management staff is supported by the Bovington Garrison Stables Officer (a military appointee) and a committee of volunteers, who meet monthly. The trustees provide advice and support to this team of staff and volunteers and retain oversight of material investment and expenditure decisions. 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

Trustees have historically been appointed on an ad-hoc basis, with the Chair being appointed from the LT Cols working in Bovington Garrison, but from 2021, all trustees will be elected by the membership of the charity. 

The RAC Saddle club depends on the Bovington Garrison and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation for real estate and for significant support in terms of Facilities Management. 

## **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 

- 4 - 



**ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS SADDLE CLUB** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

- 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS SADDLE CLUB** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2021 which are set out on pages 7 to 17. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees of Royal Armoured Corps Saddle Club you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Royal Armoured Corps Saddle Club's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since Royal Armoured Corps Saddle Club's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Edwards & Keeping, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Royal Armoured Corps Saddle Club as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE** _**YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) published October 2019 and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

The charity operates one charitable activity - the provision of equestrian facilities and training and all income from charitable activities derive from this activity. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities. Expenditure included vat which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

The charity operates one charitable activity - the provision of equestrian facilities and training and all expenditure on charitable activities relates from this activity. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

**ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS SADDLE CLUB** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE** _**YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021**_ 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Heritage assets** 

In the course of the unit's history, the charity may have acquired gifts, memorabilia, regalia, silverware, antiques and other historical artefacts in the course of distinguished military service in service of the Crown. The value of these pieces is in large part derived from their close association with Regimental history which precludes the use of conventional valuation techniques being applied. Whilst the objects of the charity do not specifically mention preservation and conservation, the pieces represent an essential element of celebrating the unit's history and foster espirit-de-corps. Consequently the Managing Trustee considers the charity to hold heritage assets both for functional use and as an element of natural history on behalf of the nation. Heritage assets acquired after 1 April 2006 where the purchase price is known and which exceed £500 are included in the balance sheet at acquisition value but are not depreciated. 

No items are included in the Fixed Assets at 28 February 2021. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Plant and machinery including motor vehicles|Straight line over a period of 2-10<br>years|
|Furniture,fixtures and equipment|Straight line over a period of 2-10<br>years|
|Leasehold property improvements|Straight line over a period of 25 years|



## **Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayment are valued at the amount prepaid taking account of any discounts due. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are funds that can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Managing Trustee. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been allocated/earmarked for a particular purpose by the Managing Trustee and are to be declared in the Managing Trustees comments stating what they are intended to be used for and when. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

**ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS SADDLE CLUB** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE** _**YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021**_ 

Restricted funds are funds that 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. 

Endowment funds are those investments and other gifts accepted by the unit, the capital sum or property being held in perpetuity and the income only being available for charitable use. 

Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 13. 

## **Hire purchase and finance leases** 

Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the Charity, are capitalised in the balance sheet as tangible fixed assets and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The capital elements of future obligations under the leases are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The interest element of the rental obligation is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. Assets held under hire purchase agreements are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The capital element of future finance payments is included within creditors. Finance charges are allocated to accounting periods over the length of the contract and represent a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. 

Assets held under hire purchase agreements are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are depreciated over their useful lives. The capital element of future finance payments is included within creditors. Finance charges are allocated to accounting periods over the length of the contract.
