Trustees Annual Report for Period 1[st] July 2020-30[th] June 2021
Aim, Purposes, Objectives and Activities

For the public benefit to advance the education (including social and physical training) of young people in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, and in particular by the provision of coaching to support educational courses.
To provide and assist in providing facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life”.
Achievements and Performance
The financial year from 1[st] July 2020 to 30[th] June 2021 marked the second year of operation of the Blackheath Rugby Charitable Trust.
During the year, our facilities were rented by The Pointer School, Leigh Academy (part), Blackheath Rhinos Football Club, Greenwich and Lewisham District Cricket and Blackheath Cricket Club during the week.
These facilities are also being used by Blackheath Rugby for our 6-11 year olds plus our girls section from September through to the end of April.
Financial Review
The first year of operation of BRCT was from 1[st] August 2019 to 30[th] June 2020, so not a full financial year.
However, the financial year and has now been subsequently amended to align with the financial year end of Blackheath Rugby Limited and Blackheath Football Club Limited.
During this period, BRCT received donations and gift aid of £4,875 and also received a government covid grant of £12,372 which was the provision brought forward from the previous accounting period.
We also managed to realise income from renting out pitch use of £45,861.
Our bar income was not greatly increased from the previous period and unfortunately we received no sponsorship on the ground which we had benefitted from in the previous accounting period.
Management and maintenance costs during the period were £37,379 which is slightly up on the previous period but proportionately similar when one considers that in the previous accounting period, the period was only for 11 months and not 12 months.
During the period, we also invested in an internet system at Hervey Road which resulted in a cost of £4,725.
Accountancy and legal fees were also a lot higher in the current period as the cost of the previous period’s audit and accountancy was incorrectly allocated to a related entity and this has now been adjusted.
Overall, net income for the year was £8,448.
When added to the retained funds in the previous period, the total funds available to BRCT stand at £21,628 as at 30[th] June 2021.
Reserves
In future years, it is the policy of the trustees to maintain a positive balance on unrestricted funds of at least £10,000 to cover emergency situations requiring expenditure that may arise from time to time.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all of our volunteers who work so hard maintaining our facilities for use by the local community.
Structure, Governance and Management
The site is managed on a daily basis by Alan Thompson as President of Blackheath Football Club.
The trustees of BRCT are responsible for making decisions on all matters.
