HORWICH ST MARYS FOOTBALL CLUB

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document , 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 the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 20 19 )” .

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the charity are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of children and adults by providing qualified football training, organising matches and providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for the playing of Association Football.

These objects shall be furthered in the North West of England, in particular, but not exclusively, within the geographical boundaries of both Bolton Metropolitan Council and Chorley Borough Councils.

The trustees have a duty to ensure that the activities of the charity continue to provide a public benefit. In continuing to carry out the above activities, the charity does promote community participation in healthy recreation and therefore provides public benefit.

As trustees, we have adhered to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The CIO’s Statement of Financial Activities for the year is presented on page 6.

During the reporting period the trustees have met on 4 occasions, and we have continued with the previous committee structure and have added further volunteers to this structure at our AGM in June 21. These new committee members have a focus especially with regards to fundraising and wider promotion of the facility. We believe that we have sufficient representation of key volunteers to provide the right amount of experience and expertise to support the club moving forwards.

Following a difficult year in which there was disruption to grassroots football we have endeavoured to continue to promote our mission statement as below:

“To provide the community of Horwich and surrounding districts with a fun and friendly environment, promoting healthy sport through organized football regardless of age and ability”.

However, this has remained challenging within the reporting period as grassroots football was halted from January until March during the Government’s Tier System.

During this period, we allowed families that were having financial difficulties to again suspend their child’s subscriptions in line with the Club’s communication to parents during the first national lockdown, however we welcomed the fact that many members continued to support the Club financially throughout this difficult period.

As a club we successfully secured funding from Bolton MBC and the Football Foundation which ensured that our facilities were appropriately maintained for the return of our members as part of the FA’s restart programme.

HORWICH ST MARYS FOOTBALL CLUB

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Our facilities and clubhouse continue to be fully utilised much to the delight of the local community, committee members and all associated with Horwich St Mary’s CIO. Unfortunately, during the lockdowns, the facilities and clubhouse were unable to be used to their full capacity resulting in a loss of income as our adult leagues suspended their seasons in November 21. However, during the summer we were able to host a few events in line with Current Covid Protocols which included Community Partnership Leagues Cup Finals Day for the u7’s to u13’s age groups, a community concert organised by local residents, and televised European Championship games for our members, which in turn allowed us to generate much needed income for the Club through sales from the café and bar. As a club we are proud that members of the local community have commented positively on the standard of our pitches and facilities at Scholes Bank. This has been further echoed by league officials from the Bolton & Bury District Junior League, West Lancashire, and South Lancashire Football Leagues.

We continue with general maintenance work of the older part of the site to ensure that we utilised all the available space for pitches so our teams can continue to play at Scholes Bank. However, we do have capacity to use the local 3G facilities in the winter months if we need to alleviate the amount of scheduled ‘home’ games. The trustees are fully aware of the ongoing costs to maintain the pitches and various fund-raising activities continue to be organised to support the budget.

We are pleased to report that we have seen an increase in bookings for the clubhouse and additional community groups to deliver non-football activities such as keep fit, yoga, and private parties for the remainder of 2021.

The clubhouse, café, pitches, and function room whilst being unable to increase profits this year due to the pandemic, are very much in demand and profitability will increase with upcoming bookings and games being played on the site as the CIO becomes re-established throughout the local area. However, the trustees recognise the need to balance the income generated from having a healthy number of teams to meet its budget, against the capacity of the Scholes Bank site to accommodate the number of matches for its teams over a typical weekend.

Furthermore, we continue to attract new children and new teams to join our growing club. This summer we are holding a summer soccer school and have agreed to allow a Chorley ladies’ development squad to use our facilities next season. As a Charter Standard Community Club, we are actively promoting the participation of more females playing the game which has resulted with the formation of a girls’ team for the new season.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the situation of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to due diligently:

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.

HORWICH ST MARYS FOOTBALL CLUB

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Financial review

Financial performance for the year is summarised on page 6 in the Statement of Financial Activities.

The charity aims to maintain sufficient free reserves to meet its day to day running costs for a full season. At £66,596, free reserves currently achieve this aim.

Funds surplus to immediate requirements are held in bank deposit accounts, currently spread across two different banks to reduce the risk of over-exposure to any one in particular. No investments are made in stocks and shares.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

Horwich St Mary's Football Club was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation ("CIO") on 14 September 2015 (charity number 1163527). From that date the new CIO assumed the operations, including assets, liabilities and funds, of Horwich St Mary's FC Trust, an unincorporated charitable trust, charity number 1118304, which had been formed in 2006.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mrs K Patel

R Walmsley D Barry T Dempsey

The charity is managed by its trustees. Under its governing document the maximum number of trustees is seven and at least three trustees' meetings must be held per year. Full provisions regarding the powers and proceedings of the trustees can be found in the governing document.

The trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Horwich St Mary's FC Trust is a charitable incorporated organisation. The registered office is 21 Broad Oak Close, Adlington, Chorley.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, 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 the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity, without restriction, and are available as general funds to be applied as the charity sees fit.

Restricted funds are incoming resources which are given for a specific purpose as stipulated by the donor or funding body concerned. Where restricted fund income is used to acquire tangible fixed assets, such as the clubhouse and pitches development, the fund balance will be reduced each year by an appropriate proportion of the depreciation charged on the asset in the year, unless any conditions attached to the restricted fund are such that it is felt that the balance on the fund can be transferred to unrestricted funds.

HORWICH ST MARYS FOOTBALL CLUB

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.

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

Governance costs are the costs of running the charity as a legal entity, and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Purchase of kit and equipment are treated as consumable items, rather than as fixed assets, unless the amounts involved are of such significance as to warrant capitalising.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Clubhouse development 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance Plant and machinery 20% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks .

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity 's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
