**THE WALLINGFORD SPORTS TRUST** 

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) controlled by its constitution. 

## **Management** 

The Wallingford Sports Trust (“ Trust ”) is managed by the Board of Trustees consisting of representatives from each of the associated clubs (“Nominated Trustee”) plus a minority of elected trustees (“Elected Trustees”) drawn from the wider community. The number of Nominated Trustees must be always greater than Elected Trustees.   This structure ensures that the priority is to facilitate club activities, but this is balanced by using the facilities for other local community activities. The Board of Trustees met 4 times during the year to 31 March 2024. 

The Trustees identify and review all major risks using a formal risk register to ensure all reasonable steps are taken to mitigate the risks identified. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objectives of The Wallingford Sports Trust are to enable the sports clubs, who are its component members, to provide sporting and recreation facilities for the inhabitants of the Wallingford and South Oxfordshire area and to encourage the use of the facilities provided by all age groups. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing The Wallingford Sports Trust’s aims, objectives and achievements and in planning future activities. 

During the year the sports provided by the associated clubs are Rugby, Petanque, Football, Tennis, Squash, Skittles, Hockey and Archery. Of the 2200 playing members of the clubs, over half are juniors. 

The facilities are also used for local community activities such as local groups, clubs and schools hiring the All Weather Pitch (“ AWP ”) and indoor hall.  The sports park also normally hosts Bunkfest camping and the Wallingford Car Rally. 

The Trust also owns and manages Wallingford Sports and Social Club Ltd (‘WSSC’) through a committee selected by and reporting to the Trustees. Any distributable profits made by WSSC are paid to the Wallingford Sports Trust under the gift aid scheme and are used to improve the sporting facilities provided. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Revenues in 2023/24 have returned and, in many cases, exceeded pre-covid levels.  This income continues to be supplemented with the regular monthly income from a two-year agreement with a local school for use of the sporting facilities. 

Energy efficiency has been a major focus for the Trust over the last couple of years. The Trust has seen the benefits from the replacement of outside floodlights on the AWP to LED in the previous year.  The project to install the solar/battery system was completed this year, funded 80% from

grants. Despite the poor weather the system has generated valuable amounts of electricity which has reduced our reliance on the national grid, at the same time as reducing our carbon footprint. 

Work was completed on the improvements to the western frontage of the main pavilion to make it a more attractive venue for sporting, community, and social activities. 

Attention is now focused on the project to resurface the AWP. Funding has been impaired over the last 3 years by having to prioritise the survival of the whole park, so a 2024 installation date is now heavily reliant on accessing external funding. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The value of the Tr ust’s funds increased by £186,742 during the year to 31 March 2024 as set out in note 13 of the accounts. 

The Trust’s aim is to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves equating to at least 3 months of expenditure.  The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to meet the Trust’s operational expenditure and to provide contingency against unforeseen expenditure. The balance held as unrestricted funds on 31 March was £439,110 (2023: £395,720) of which £191, 825 (2023: £143,183) are regarded as free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets. 

The principal objective of the Wallingford Sports and Social Club Ltd (WSSC) is to generate funds to help the Trust provide the facilities for the playing of sport. The charity has now invested £55,980 in its subsidiary and made a loan of £62,000.  This loan is secured on the assets of the company (£59,180 as at 31 March 2024). As a result of the efforts of the Sports Park manager in promoting the facilities at the sports park, WSSC’s income has significantly improved to higher than pre covid levels.  WSSC was significantly impacted by the increased utility costs during this year, however the Trust remains satisfied that Wallingford Sports and Social Club Ltd will be able to repay the loan from its projected profits and that the investment in the trading subsidiary is an appropriate investment of the Trust’s resources. 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

The Trust will continue to work to assist the clubs to provide sporting opportunities to the residents of South Oxfordshire, with a particular emphasis on the encouragement of young people to play sport. 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing a T rustee’s annual 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 state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.   In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- o Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’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** 

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 Trust 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 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 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.

On 28 November 2007, the lease for the land from which the Trust operates the sports park was signed by the Trustees and South Oxfordshire District Council. The renewed lease terms were effective from 1 June 2007 for a period of 30 years.   On 13th May 2015 the lease was extended by 12 years to mature on 31st May 2049. The market rate set was discounted by 90% for the first 7 years and was extended by a further 7 years on 1st June 2014. Since the expiry (on the 1st June 2021 ) of the extended period of discount the Trust has been in discussions with South Oxfordshire District Council over the rent and associated discount. These discussions have unfortunately not reached a conclusion at the time of signing the accounts.  For the purposes of these accounts it has been assumed that the current rent and associated discount will continue for the period of the lease.

Net movement in funds, included in above are as follows: 

## **Purposes of restricted funds** 

**Leasehold Premises -** This fund primarily relates to an extension built onto The Pavilion in the year ended 31 March 2002 by Linden Homes for the ABM Skittles Club  but also includes subsequent improvements which have been funded by grants. 

ABM Skittles Club extension - As part of Section106 Planning Order, Linden Homes were obliged to provide the ABM Skittles Club with a new bowling alley in exchange for the previous club house which was demolished as part of a residential building project. Wallingford Sports Trust volunteered this on their land. The fund will reduce each year as depreciation is charged against the building. 

**AWP Pitch Replacement** - This fund relates to recent donations and associated gift aid  for the future replacement of the all weather pitch surface. **Changing rooms -** This fund relates to grants received from SODC, WREN, Sport England and the RFU for the replacement of the changing rooms. The fund will reduce each year as depreciation is charged against the building. 

**Kitchen refurbishment -** Relates to funds received from WREN to refurbish the kitchen to improve the facilities. The fund will reduce as depreciation is charged against the facilities. 

**Squash** - The Squash funding comes from a Section 106 agreement for a housing development on the old Habitat site at Moreton Avenue, Hithercroft Industrial Estate, which was designated for improving indoor sports facilities serving the (housing) site. It funded two new roofs and refurbished showers to the squash courts. The fund will reduce as depreciation is charged against the facilities. 

**Multi Sport** - The multisport project was a grouping of 3 individual projects covering a new car park for 50 cars on the Jubilee Field, the upgrading of the existing main football pitch lights to Hellenic League standard plus installation of separate training lights and the installation of a new tennis pavilion to replace the old one damaged in the 2014 floods. It was funded 50% by an SODC Community Grant with the remainder coming from a Football Foundation grant, the Tennis Club itself and other smaller donations. 

**Pavilion development** - This fund is for the development of the main pavilion which is being improved with a view to increasing its attractiveness in the post pandemic era following a significantly hesitant return of many of our previous community activities and groups in the very time when we should be experiencing increased demand from rapid housing growth in the area. 

**AWP Lights -** Spending in anticpation of funding from a Section 106 agreement for the replacement of the AWP lights to LED bulbs to improve energy efficiency. 

**Active Oxfordshire -** A fund received as Active Oxfordshire's delivery partner as part of Sport England's Together fund to help reduce the negative impact of COVID -19 and the widening inequalities in physical activity by targeting lower socio economic groups. 

**Solar panels** - A fund created from grants recevied from the National Lottery Community fund and Westmill Solar Co-operative to install solar panels and battery to improve energy efficiency.
