Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 May 2020:
The Trustees present their report and the independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2020.
1. Trustee’s summary
This report will document the success of each key activity and the benefits The Golf Trust has brought to our stakeholders groups that the charity was set up to help.
This year has been a year of growth. We have been growing as a charity, raising our profile amongst funders and continuing our work to raise awareness of disability within golf. We have streamlined our activities to make it easier to raise funds and ensure sustainability.
Our operations were unexpectedly stopped in March 2020 due to Covid-19. This forced us to adapt and move our work online.
2. Structure, governance and management
The Golf Trust is a registered charity since March 2016.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. The Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, developing the organisations aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the Articles of Association, legal and regulatory guidelines.
3. Activities and objectives
The Golf Trust seeks to remove the barriers to participation so that everyone can play golf. Our main focus has been introducing (or reintroducing) golf to individuals with a disability.
The Golf Trust uses golf to engage with everyone through social inclusion and mobility. Our sessions are accessible to everyone, welcoming all races, genders or abilities. The Golf Trust uses golf to inspire and empower the people we work with to lead happier and healthier lives.
The Golf Trust had five key objectives for the year. These objectives set the foundation for the organisation’s projects. The objectives were:
-
Increasing participation in golf
-
Promoting health
-
Activities for the whole family
-
Reengaging individuals back into golf
-
Diversifying funding
4. Key projects and successes
This section outlines our projects and successes for the year:
We delivered 10 weeks of golf coaching in 10 care homes/sheltered housing in North, West and South-East London equating to over 180 hours of coaching. We have engaged over 300 residents in this period of time. Golf is a great activity for individuals who are inactive because golf is low impact, it can be done seated or standing and it can be delivered in communal lounges within facilities that the residents trust using first touch adaptive equipment. We achieved many outcomes with the participants; increased physical activity, reduction of loneliness, increased social skills, increased strength/balance/co-ordination, carers and staff highlighted residents had an increased sleep quality in the days after the sessions, increased appetite and increased mental health. The project was important to us as we saw the participants involved as the forgotten generation, susceptible to loneliness and isolation. Our Care Home project was awarded the ‘Sport Unites’ Award at the London Sport Awards in March 2020. We are extremely grateful to been recognised for this project.
We held our first fundraising charity golf day. It enabled us to raise more money in one day than we would receive through grants.
Our Els for Autism programmes continues to grow. We have trained more coaches and sport instructors to enhance their knowledge of autism and gives practical advice to teach golfers with autism. We have complemented the training with specific autism golf sessions in schools. The outcomes we have achieved from the sessions is better than we could have expected.
We continue to support events to raise awareness of disability and sport. It is an opportunity to meet individuals with a disability and showcase that golf can be adapted to all abilities. We are proud to have supported the Wheelpower Camp at Brunel University, Disability sports event in Tower Hamlets and Disability Sports Coach
Sports Day this year. Furthermore, we have supported multiple events run by the Jason Roberts Foundation.
We continue to offer Special Olympics opportunities through The Golf Trust in East Herts. The sessions moved from the Hertfordshire Country Club to Cheshunt Park Golf Club. A change of venue meant a change of coach too. There is a core group of 10 young adults who attend the sessions every Tuesday.
In 2018, we gained access to a Paragolfer which has allowed us to diversify our opportunities. The Paragolfer allows an individual who has lost use of their lower body through illness or injury to stand securely to play golf. Thanks to the Paragolfer, we have taught 10 people with spinal injuries, Parkinson’s, MS and physical limitations this year.
Finally, Coronavirus suspended our work from March 2020 as the country entered lockdown to control the virus. We were no longer able to deliver in care homes or schools. In addition, the golf club was closed under the restrictions. However, we didn’t stop working. We switched our operations to digital. We supported the care homes virtually; they were offered equipment and play activities to keep the residents active. They continued to use this offer until they were advised not to mix residents under the guidelines. We participated in many podcasts and ‘Lives’ on Facebook and Instagram to raise awareness of disability sport and The Golf Trust.
5. Funding
We are thankful to our funders Mayor of London Sport Unites, Golf for Disabled Children, Barnet Council, Sport England Small Grants and the National Lottery Small Grants
6. Looking forward
The impact of Coronavirus causes great uncertainty for the year ahead. We are unclear when we can return to face-to-face delivery. When we are able to return, we will prioritise our care home and family disability projects.
In addition, we aim to maximise use of the Paragolfer and reach more individuals who can benefit from its use. We hope to get people back active using golf. We will delve further into spinal injuries and golf as directed by our trustee, Justin Levene.

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 29 August 2020.
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Mr Cae Menai-Davis Mrs Margaret Anne Menai-Davis Mr Frank Harrington Mr Lee Cox Mr Charles Niren
