TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2025.
Objectives and activities
Policies and objectives
The charitable objectives of the CIO are to promote community participation for healthy recreation for the public benefit by the provision of facilities and coaching for the playing of football.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Achievements and performance
Main achievements of the Charity
The club were honoured to achieve the prestigious award of 2024-25 Grassroots club of the year from Northumberland FA in September, demonstrating the amount of work and progress which the club has made during the last 5 years. This made everyone associated with the club extremely proud.
The club has continued to grow in terms of teams, players and coaches, with over 1,000 players and 78 teams for the 2024-25 season, although a plan has been implemented going forward to merge teams as they progress through the pyramid. This is due to both limitations of available facilities, together with volunteers and committee members being unable to match growth at this level.
For the first time, we were able to sell refreshments from a unit at home games at Monkseaton High School, with the idea of not only providing a service to our supporters but also adding an additional revenue stream. It proved challenging both to get this up and running, as well as to maintain the service, however, the club will continue to look at ways of making the operation more sustainable over future seasons.
Having previously been awarded a pitch maintenance grant, the work on pitches at Monkseaton High School was completed, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Facilities Manager. This paid dividends, with many more games being played as against the prior season.
We did learn during the season, that the Local Authority had announced the closure of Monkseaton High School as of August 2026, which could potentially have impact on the club being able to use the facility as our home ground. Despite meetings with the FA, the Local Authority and other relevant parties, as well as submitting a proposal in May 2025 for the club’s usage of this facility, formal confirmation is still awaited.
Financial review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

WHITLEY BAY SPORTING CLUB
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
Reserves policy
The calculation of free reserves is based on the definition included in the charity statement of recommended practice (SORP), which provides recommendations for accounting and reporting for charities. The trustees have examined the requirements of the charity to hold free reserves - those reserves not invested in tangible fixed assets, excluding long term liabilities, or designated for a particular purpose. The Trustees considered it would be appropriate to hold the equivalent of three month's expenditure which would equate to holding between £60,000 - £70,000 in free reserves.
At the year end, free reserves were £135,326 (2024: £65,265). The Trustees intend to use this surplus to increase the charities activities and where possible continue to increase reserves gradually for greater financial flexibility in future years.
Finance Review
During the year the Club's accounts recognise income totalling £297,264 and expenditure totalling £259,927 resulting in an overall surplus of £37,337 (2024: £9,576).
At the year end, the net asset position of the club was £145,766 (2024: £108,429).
Pay policy for Key Management Personnel
The board do not consider there to be any key management personnel other than the the trustees themselves.
Fundraising policy
The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies received direct from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The charity was incorporated on 17 December 2015 and established under the constitution of a CIO, that established the objects and powers that govern the operation of the charity. The only voting members are its charity trustees.
Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
Appointment of new trustees is a matter for the board identifying prospective candidates who have an interest in Whitley Bay Sporting Club and appropriate skills to complement those already available at board level or to fill any perceived deficiency as it arises.
Organisational structure
The overall management of the charity is completed by the trustees themselves. The board have proved effective in managing what has been a successful year in terms of delivery and development of our core charitable objectives.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
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 & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Whitley Bay Sporting Club ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 May 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Charity 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 the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Charity'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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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 (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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.

WHITLEY BAY SPORTING CLUB
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
1. General information
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation, a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 24 Hepscott Drive, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, NE25 9XJ.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Whitley Bay Sporting Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees have considered the financial position for the next twelve months and concluded that the charity should be able to continue in operational existence for that period. The charity has strong positive cash balances and is forecasting for this to continue to be the case. The Trustees remain confident that the uncertainties do not cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3 Income
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 measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income includes photograph commission income and the sale of merchandise. The income is recognised within the financial statements on receipt of the income into the clubs bank account.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Equipment 3 - 5 years straight line
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
