Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 28 February 2022
Objectives and activities (continued)
Public benefit statement
In setting objectives and planning activities our trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education, relief of poverty and the advancement of amateur sport.
Achievements and performance
As in 2021 and despite Covid-19 restrictions we have continued to deliver charitable activities – albeit at an attenuated level.
We have delivered Cricket taster sessions to primary school children, these give children the opportunity to try cricket and create opportunities for them to continue the sport at local clubs.
We have delivered Cricket based activities to community groups catering for vulnerable young people.
We have delivered holiday camps across the summer and over the Christmas holidays. These have focussed on children who are entitled to free school meals though other children are not excluded. The camps focus on fitness, cricket and coordination skills as well as nutritional advice and free meals and snacks.
Children who are young carers, suffer from mental health issues or come from disadvantaged backgrounds have received cricket themed sessions and talks on improving their self-esteem.
We have provided scholarships to several under privileged young people who are keen to develop their game. One beneficiary has progressed into county age group cricket, gained player of the year award for Lancashire u14s and has now secured a place on the emerging player pathway. These opportunities would not have been possible without foundation support.
We have continued a project aimed at increasing Cricket opportunities to disadvantaged and high Asian areas within Central Halifax.
Financial review
The net payments for the year were £14,016, including net receipts of £3,048 on unrestricted funds and net payments of £17,064 on restricted funds after transfers.
As a result of Covid our major source of unrestricted funds (the Netathon) could not be undertaken and this has caused a continued tightening of spending although we were able to raise significant funding to deliver Holiday camps over the 2021 holiday periods
We have reviewed the impact on the foundation and consider it does not pose a significant financial threat as we are simply experiencing delays to delivery of charitable activity because we cannot access facilities necessary for the support of asylum seekers/refugees and more general community support - in both cases school premises.
The trustees have therefore reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £3,760.
As the foundation has very limited committed costs and operates from premises donated by The Cricket Asylum, it is unlikely that we will face any emergency that requires use of funds, however it is proposed that we hold a nominal amount of £200 for contingency purposes. In addition we propose to set aside a further £300 to cover a 3 month wind-up process if required. We consider £500 to be the minimum level of reserves.
If there are any overspends on restricted funds the surplus reserves will be used to fund these. This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Cricket Asylum Foundation
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 28 February 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the CIO 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 CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 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
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 the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
