Gloucester Rugby Foundation

Trustees Report for the year ended 30 June 2022

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements for the year to 30 June 2022.

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)

Structure, governance and management

Gloucester Rugby Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), incorporated on 25 January 2016. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed under its Articles of Association, copies of which are available for inspection at the company’s office or may be obtained by writing to the secretary.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 5.

The goal of Gloucester Rugby Foundation is to Engage, Educate and Inspire the local community to bring about positive social impact and new opportunities for all through sport.

The mission of Gloucester Rugby Foundation is to use the power and inspiration of rugby, along with the values of Gloucester Rugby, to make a difference by:

The Gloucester Rugby Foundation seeks to make its Board of Trustees as diverse as possible in terms of geographical knowledge, background, experience and capabilities. In this way, the requirements of the Gloucester Rugby Foundation and the community are best served. Suitable candidates are considered by the existing board of trustees.

The board of trustees has the power to appoint new trustees after due consideration by the board. Potential Trustees are recommended to the board by existing Trustees and Patrons. New trustees have normally shown particular interest in Gloucester Rugby Foundation and therefore have a clear concept of what the Charity is, what it aims to do and broadly how it goes about doing it.

New trustees spend time with the staff and Chairman to gain an in-depth knowledge of the governance and administration of the Foundations activities. The Foundation provides a dedicated ‘Trustee pack’ for new Trustees to provide a structured and more formal approach to induction.

Organisational structure

The governance of the Gloucester Rugby Foundation rests with the board of trustees. This board has a membership with no defined maximum number. The trustees meet as necessary. Meetings include input from the Head of Foundation who has no voting rights and any others who can make a contribution.

Gloucester Rugby Foundation

Trustees Report (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2022

The Head of Foundation is responsible for managing the operation of the Gloucester Rugby Foundation on behalf of the Trustees and reports directly to the Chairman of that Board. All other staff report to the members of the Trustee board, enabled by the Head of Foundation. The Head of Foundation is responsible for the day to day organisation of the projects, programmes, initiatives, and current applications to various funds. The Foundation Team handle all matters relating to liaison with many communities in the immediate and extended counties making them aware of the aims and objectives of The Gloucester Rugby Foundation.

Trustees

The following Trustees who have held office during the year are:

Ian Edward William Renouf-Watkins Heyma Rita Holmes Richard Smith (resigned 28 February 2022) Richard Weller Matthew Mulcahy (appointed 28 February 2022)

None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the company.

Risk assessment

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. The trustees conduct, on an annual basis, their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and put into place systems to mitigate those risks identified. The trustees entrust the financial management and reporting of the Gloucester Rugby Foundation to Gloucester Rugby Limited.

External risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for diversification of funding and cooperation with other charities, voluntary bodies and statutory authorities so long as the income and property of the charity shall be applied solely towards the promotion of the objects. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorization of all transactions and projects to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they meet the needs of the charity.

Objectives and activities

The objective of the Gloucester Rugby Foundation is to promote the education, motivation and inspiration of people through the power of sport, in particular the advancement of education, the protection of good health, both mental and physical and the relief of poverty distress and disability or sickness and other exclusively charitable purposes which are in the opinion of the Trustees beneficial to our communities.

The aims of our Foundation are:

Our commitment to our community is through long-term projects that contain a focused purpose and outcome. Our community benefit greatly from the activities, and once the outcome has been achieved, the engagement vehicle of rugby allows us to further our aims of developing our brand and reputation while our Partners and Sponsors benefit from their investment.

Achievements and performance

Gloucester Rugby Foundation is the official charity of Premiership Rugby side, Gloucester Rugby.

Established in 2016, the Foundation has grown to become one of the leading charitable organisations in Gloucestershire, using sport as a vehicle to achieve positive social change. Every day, the Foundation’s team of coaches and educators work with people of all ages, from introducing children in primary schools to rugby union, right through to using the club’s proud heritage to tackle isolation in older people. Our strategy ‘Your Club, Your Community’ sets out a clear ambition to become a leading sports Foundation, recognised for its approach to partnership working and achieving community impact.

The three main pillars the work of Gloucester Rugby Foundation sit under are:

Participation

To ensure every person in Gloucestershire has an opportunity to play rugby in their community, regardless of age or ability.

Education

To boost education attainment, employment outcomes and improve life chances through bespoke sport based programmes delivered within schools and at Kingsholm Stadium.

Health and wellbeing

To offer accessible opportunities that inspire people of all ages to lead healthier and more active lives.

The 2021/22 financial year has proved to be challenging, with the charity accumulating a small surplus for the year of £6,218 (2021 – deficit of £4,599).

The Gloucester Rugby Foundation saw a growth in delivery this year, due to the increase in need for services supporting those most vulnerable in the community. We are grateful for the support of local organisations who have supported our work, including funders who have committed to supporting more long-term projects.

Key highlights during the 2021/2022 period include:

Reserves policy

It is the objective of the charity to increase unrestricted funds to the level required to provide sufficient funds to cover administration costs for a period of three months.

Financial review

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The charity is reliant on the continued financial support of Gloucester Rugby Limited. This support is not intended to be withdrawn in the foreseeable future. On the basis, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Accounting Convention

The financial statements of the charity, 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 (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company.

Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Volunteers and donated services and facilities

The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements.

Where services and facilities that would normally be purchased from a supplier are provided to the charity as a donation this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of those services and facilities to the charity.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.

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 recognized at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Taxation

The company is not liable to taxation upon its income by reason of exemption under sections 466 to 493 of the Corporation Tax Act 2013.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
